[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm watching my ex slowly unravel. It's like watching a slow motion train wreck. It's so bad I *almost* feel sorry for him since he's so lost and has no idea who the f&*k he is or who he is supposed to be. But then I remember that he could have availed himself of therapy and introspection at any point in his adult life and he opted not to. His unraveling is punishment enough.[/quote]

Same! My cheating stbx is completely falling apart too. Today my 15 year old said to me, "You're experiencing such a divorce glow up. I always tell my therapist that you are skyrocketing and all that's happened to Daddy is [medieval sounding disease that made his skin fall off] and [painful accident]." He's always experiencing another self-created crisis. And my kids don't even know about the cheating.

But OP your thesis is not entirely correct. We DO punish cheaters, in some sense. We just don't do it severely because we have a more liberal society (and that's a good thing). But most good people don't just accept cheating and turn a blind eye. They may not throw stones but they probably won't throw a party for them either.[/quote]
