[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My wife cheated, and we found a way to put our marriage back on track.  I would agree with the OP's original post on several points.  First, the information age and technology definitely makes it easier to cheat, and to communicate with another person outside marriage.  Making something more accessible (especially something that can take over emotionally) increases the likelihood of its occurrence.

Second, since we live in VA, the no fault divorce was not an option for DW.  When she saw what the road of an at fault divorce was going to be for her, both financially and in terms of publicity (court filings), she was much more amenable to working on our marriage.  It has been difficult, but this higher barrier to divorce definitely gave us time to work things out.  I am glad for that.[/quote]

if you don't have kids, why would you take back a deceitful woman who wanted to be penetrated by another man?

remember, she is a depreciating asset - men that have their shit together appreciate. [/quote]

Should have been more clear.  The reason I wanted to save the marriage was because we have two young children.  I come from broken home, and my siblings and I are still feeling the negative effects of our parents split.  I think the no fault divorce makes it way to easy for one partner to unilaterally dissolve a marriage with kids too often overlooked as "adaptable" or "flexible" to the change.  Sure, some marriages are not worth saving under any circumstances, but in my view, the kids are the number one priority and we should give it all we can, even if it is heavy handed in the process, to make it work.  In today's world marriage should be taken more seriously and dating a lot less.  [/quote]

fair point. kids make it different. Would you have stayed around if you didn't have children? [/quote]
