[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My father had an affair around the time we left for college. He left my mother for a while but ended up moving back in with her. At the time I was quite angry with him for hurting her so badly, and I think she has never really forgiven him and still harbors a lot of resentment. But it is now 20 years later, and it is true that living with my mother is no picnic.[/quote]

Yes, this is the long term damage cheaters and liars cause to their spouses.  Hope it never, ever happens to you. [/quote]

New poster here. Both parties are responsible for the marriage. The father is wrong for cheating. The mother is wrong for staying and resenting him thereby life miserable for 20 years if she could not forgive. Women who refuse to stop playing the doormat martyr role cause as much if not more damage to the children than cheating husbands. Women need to "woman up" and take responsibility for their lives and children. If you can forgive, forgive and MOVE ON. If you can't forgive, divorce and MOVE ON. But whatever you do MOVE ON. You owe it to your children to be a mother first, abandoned spouse should not be anyone's primary status in life. It's pathetic and selfish.[/quote]
