[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have a look at the most recent NY Times "Modern Love" essay: My Spectacular Betrayal by Samantha Silva.

That woman clearly didn't regret her affair and is still with her affair partner 12 years later. In her case, she wasn't totally unhappy with her husband, she had a one night stand with her best friend's husband. Apparently, the sex was hot enough that they continued to sneak around to have it, and eventually developed feelings and then left their spouses to be together. The two couples had been friends for years. If the ONS hadn't happened, do the affair and the divorces happen? I'd think not, at least not at that time. Maybe eventually.

I think people get settled into the monotony of married life and monogamy, forget what excitement feels like, have a fling with someone else and then can't resist the dopamine high. It sucks for the spouse who is in the dark and gets left, but it's also... human. Monogamy is just really hard, and not everyone is cut out for it.[/quote]

That’s the rare result.  Like 2%.  More men are out there variety banging in midlife and in 2023 it just is too easy with the internet availability.  It’s not some Bridges of Madison County love, it’s some whore they met on the internet .  They don’t regret it when they think nobody is getting hurt.  It’s only when the two worlds come crashing down that they are able to see the destruction.  As others have stated, this was such a ridiculously skewed study.  It is very like the bank robber that didn’t get caught and then asked if he regretted doing it a year later.  [/quote]
