Tom Hanks, Bruce Springsteen, and Joe Biden married their affairs and have stayed married. I have relatives that did the same. I’m not defending it by any stretch, but it’s more common than you think.

That’s because you don’t find it, you build it..together.

What you find is someone who is equally committed to building it with you.

I wish we could get real statistics on married men unknowingly raising another man’s child. I have heard estimates around 3-4% up to 10%. That’s a lot of men having no idea that’s not their child.

This is accurate.

Sometimes it's a lightning strike, sometimes it's a slow build, and sometimes it's a matter of a few months.

When you know, you know.

My ex wife married the guy she cheated with. She then cheated on him, and they got divorced. Then married the guy she was cheating with again. Then got divorced again. Why? Cheating

So my first wife married you too after she ran off with my best friend? I asker her brother one time how many times she had been married. He said "You don't want to know".

One close family member cheated and remarried the person. Was a bolt from the blue for us. We knew they bickered a lot but thought it was just their thing. Turned out was a long time of unhappiness. Well, the cheater and spouse have been married for 17 years now and seem very happy. The other original spouse seems content enough too, still single but happy that way.

After my aunt died, my uncle got married to another woman "he just met" within 3 months. They stayed together for about 20 years before he, too, died.

100% of men who cheat do so with 100% of women, so the more men cheat than women claim isn't statistically accurate.

Of course we're talking about heterosexual cheating.

Limerence typically lasts 3-48 months before it fades.

And if you don't know, there are 3 phases to limerence.

1. Infatuation (the other can do no wrong; this is why the beginning of relationships are so great - this is what people chase like a crack addict)
2. Crystallization (where the person who is cheating reanalyzes their moral and ethical values to justify internally or externally what they are doing)
3. Deterioration (the luster is wearing off; cracks are found in the foundation of either themselves or the other person or both)

i already posted in this thread but i remembered another one.

in our church group one married guy started bringing his brother to the "young married" sunday school class.

a couple that had just got married started attending and single brother and newly married woman hit it off.

within about a few months, the marriage was dissolved and she was engaged to the other guy.

apparently divorcing couple never consummated the marriage, he was really weird and controlling.

they've been married for 15 years now with 2 kids. i met him right after they got married, so i only know him in a happy marriage.

it was a weird situation, but i think the ex-husband was weird and terrible enough that they gave them a bit of a mea culpa. gently, but mostly excommunicated from the church.

If they cheat once, they'll cheat again.

If he or she will cheat with you they will also most likely cheat on you. It's pretty much inevitable

My now wife and I were both in bad marriages when we had our affair. Neither of us think what we did was right, and aren't necessarily proud of how we started but we've been married for thirty years and have 4 children together,all grown with families of their own. We are the exception I guess but we couldn't be happier.
