[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know of two couples that recovered. One I’m 40s, others in 80s. Not sure how my sample size compares with your anecdotal evidence, and it is limited to stories I’ve been told.

What really should be a consideration for how likely success is will be found in what research says. What characteristics are displayed with couples x many years out of an affair who have recovered? I have heard stories of strangers that made it work. From what I understand about the therapy and recovery process, the marriage can be restored and yes, it can happen but it takes a lot of work, and a lot of selfless love, and a lot of patience with yourself and your spouse, and a willingness for both partners in the marriage (and sometimes the family) to sacrifice and put every ounce of hope into recovery during the most painful moment of betrayal and utter abandonment and deceit. It requires the greatest trust at the most painful moment of betrayal. Most people have not independently strengthened their heart to do that type of gritty, visceral, tumultuous work.

However, the two couples that have are wonderful people.

I hope you can get the inspiration or encouragement that you need to make the best choice for you, OP. [/quote]
