[quote=Anonymous]Each situation is unique, and unless there are saints on DCUM I would not judge.  As someone over 50, I have seen many marriages fall apart for other reasons besides infidelity, and I have seen many basically good marriages stay together despite it being known.   And I have seen marriages fall apart that probably should have stayed together for the sake of family/children needs  -- and may have stayed together had a spouse with either unmet emotional or physical needs had brief respites.  By loose analogy, when adults are caregivers to ill parents or have children with extraordinary needs,  we all accept the concept of taking a break -- respite care so to speak -- allowing another adult to care for the parent, the child, etc.  We don't permit that of ourselves.   Over a long marriage of many ups and downs, statistics show that some infidelity at some point is probably more common than not, and I would guess it is probably disclosed less often than it is disclosed.  Are we all so knowledgeable, morally superior, etc. that we can make the sweeping pronouncements of some of the posters in this thread?   My one advice for OP is this -- next time you post something provocative like this -- if it is a serious question -- offer more details.  As OP posed the question it does sound a bit flip, and in that sense it is not surprising to draw criticism.  But if this thread were to have more value, it would be also valuable for posters to post their age, as I believe views may vary for both many men and women on this issue over time. [/quote]
