re: Do Affair Relationships Last After Divorce?

Why did you post a question then answer it yourself with another question?

Approximately 50% of marriages end in death.

I doubt there's much hard data to support any conclusions on this, but anecdotally, I'd think they don't last. I just don't get caught and I'm good.

You know who Joe Beam is too?

Shania Twain's husband was knocking the bottom out of the nanny. The nanny would go on to marry her ex. Shania married the nanny's Ex-Husband.

I’ve known some that didn’t last long at all, and others for years (3 I know over 20 years for sure)

No one here is talking all that much about women who cheat. But, I find that women can be just as unfaithful. Knew a guy who cheated on his wife with one of her "best friends" then left his wife for this woman. New girlfriend wife then goes about having flings with at least 10 guys over their 12 year marriage...said she could not get pregnant.....mainly because she was taking the pill the whole while and she did not want a "mistake".

He finally caught her one day when he missed a flight for work and came home in the early afternoon and ran into the guy naked in his kitchen and the wife on the living room floor naked and freaking out. She then tells him EVERYTHING.....dude had been getting cheated on since right after the honeymoon.

So what is an expert? Dr Madden?
A book filled person with a bunch of head knowledge and opinions?
The real experts are the one’s who meant and maintain the marriage vows “ for better for worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health till death do us part “.
People in affairs do not have the capacity to love because they are to self centered. They feel with their eyes and reason with their emotions. Selfish people rarely stayed married. They only create patterns of divorce all the while never reflecting on their own shortcomings and victim mentality.

cheaters will cheat again. I mean that is not some hard to predict outcome.

A majority of Americans are not capable of being in a healthy relationship because they themselves are not healthy and or stable.

Most people experience some sort of trauma which ends up defining them and very few are capable of breaking through that trauma to avoid perpetuating it on their own relationships in various forms.

Even those without trauma rarely ever know what they want or how they could ultimately manifest themselves in a positive way that would result in their happiness, so you end up with people chasing short term artificial wins (bigger house, better spouse, more money) rather than meaningful positive happiness through introspective reflection and self improvement.

I’d imagine that the population that ends up cheating is heavily inclined towards the short term reward group.

Given that when they get what they thought they wanted (cheating “better”partner) and remain unhappy are forced to choose between acknowledging they were at least part of the issue or just taking the easy out and convincing themselves a new partner would be the panacea they need to finally be happy choose option B.
