To repeat: if you think your affair will not be discovered, you are deluding yourself so you can pursue your selfish desires.
There's a ticking time bomb under your marriage, and it's only a matter of time before it goes boom.

Yes, it does. When you decide to cheat on your husband, you are deciding to do something that cannot fail to affect your relationship with your husband, and this, in turn, cannot fail to have a negative effect on your children.
The best environment for raising children is a happy marriage. If you do something to harm your marriage, you are a bad parent.
OMG what about the children? It's entirely possible to have an affair, play golf, or end age in any number of activities and still not cheat your children out of their time with you. Again, it's an adult situation. Don't drag the children into it.
If you think your affair will not be discovered, you are deluding yourself so you can pursue your selfish desires.
If you think the discovery of your affair will not blow up your marriage, you are deluding yourself so you can pursue your selfish desires.
If you think blowing up your marriage won't hurt your kids, you are deluding yourself so you can pursue your selfish desires.
If you think your adult kids won't someday understand you cheated and despise you for it, you are deluding yourself so you can pursue your selfish desires.
There is no way to have an affair and avoid affecting your kids.

In these instances, the affairs are NEVER over when the cheater says they are. There's a lot of "trickle truth" and lies of omission. This is why it's important to compare notes with the other spouse. Plus, it's the right thing to do -- the other spouse needs to make informed decisions about his/her future and it's not fair to keep him/her in the dark.

Not putting your kids first makes one a crap of a parent.
