[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every affair, like every family, is unique. Tolstoy writes in Anna Karenina " All happy families are alike. All unhappy families are unique in their own way."

I suggest that all those opining on here about what causes an affair.  It is b/c the cheaters are bad people?  Narcissists?  Good people doing bad things?  Bored in their marriage?  Or looking for something missing in themselves? There are any number of reasons and I think all of these reasons require compassion not condemnation.

Read Esther Perel's "The State of Affairs."  Here is an excerpt:

Uggh! Life in America. Anything goes with no controls. It's not loving to be tolerant of everything. It's not truthful. Should we be tolerant of the 15 year old who killed all those other children? Sure have some compassion that he is human, but he's a danger. Infidelity is dangerous.[/quote]
How is infidelity dangerous? Anything can be dangerous if you’re an idiot.[/quote]
