Maybe not but her employment would be getting some anon letters and pictures. He would also get his just desserts.

Those are things that do happen with cheaters, called cause and effect.

If this is the case, you absolutely deserve to be treated like crap, babies or not. Cause and effect, baby, cause and effect


I agree the cheaters do deserve to be treated like poo, certainly not the innocent spouse.

A little helpful hand is not a bad thing.

I used to be 20 and would never consider someone that was married. I was taught morals and values so really there is no excuse.

There is a special place in hell for any cheater considering there is either compromise or divorcing and then dating. No excuse whatsoever.

I've seen some really bad karma happen to cheaters, I'm ok with that.

Statistically, cheating is a crime of opportunity and has nothing to do with the state of the marriage.

Please do the research before posting outdated stereotypes. And sure, all marriages - even happy ones - have issues. However, that is not what causes cheating. If it did, both partners would be cheaters.


This. Nearly found myself in the situation, and it the entire thing took me by surprise. Never sought out. Never considered it otherwise.

There are 3 players. The wife usually has some play in the affair as well and there are usually issues in the marriage. The husband shouldn't cheat, but rarely is the marriage without issues and RARELY is the wife an innocent party in the marital issues.



What a load. No the victim of a cheater shares no blame. No different than someone wearing a short skirt and asking for it bs, or an abuser saying his wife deserved to be hit. As for the other woman, she is also to blame because she had NO BUSINESS being in their marriage. She is just as guilty.
The husband has a choice to get counseling, compromise or divorce. Cheating is not a option. I would like to see cheaters come down hard in courts, if it's proven. Especially when it destroys children's lives etc.


bla bla bla....

Move states. Plenty of backwater states with morality clauses and some such.

Can you explain to me why "young kids" makes an affair particularly more egregiously bad than at other times in a marriage?

Not OP, but I'm guessing because it's a particularly stressful time full of limited sleep, adjustments and changes. I'm thinking toddlerhood here btw, not elementary school aged kids.


New poster here - I'd guess because it's a notoriously stressful time of life (if you can't take the heat and all that) and also you have these 100% innocent beings dependent on the security and stability of their family.
