I'm not sure about that. My long-term AP has a fairly good partnership with his wife. They coparent ok, have an active social life, and seem fairly committed.

I think they fought more before this affair; his resentment at a life sentence of sexlessness as the cost of being with his kid was putting an edge on him (we were close friends before the affair).

Fast forward a couple of years into our relationship, we love each other and have an emotional connection we both value but I don't think he *doesn't* have one with her. On the one hand, I think more than sex was missing from their marriage or he and I would only be having casual sex- he wouldn't have fallen for me so completely. But on the other, here we are.

My emotional connection with my husband was gone long before the affair. I'm sure I couldn't have fallen for someone else if our marriage wasn't irretrievably broken. We're still together though.  His mental illness makes him a great candidate for spousal support. I'm not willing to impoverish myself and our kids so here we are. [/quote]
