re: Do Affair Relationships Last After Divorce?

A lot of truth in that from Dr. Madden's comments.
The one I see a lot working with couples is that the non-offending party doesn't necessarily struggle with the physical act of cheating as much as the emotional aspect of betrayal. And the dissolution of trust. If you don't have trust, then a relationship just isn't going to work. And trust for many people is too difficult to earn back in that kind of situation (understandably).
The SO's ex-wife married the guy she cheated with less than a year after they divorced. She's absolutely miserable now. She asked us to take the step-kid shopping for Mother's Day on our weekend because her husband doesn't "do holidays".

I know what you do for a living, but I just don't see this as the norm. People create imagery in their heads all day long about various things in life. This one is no different. That person is stained now, tainted.

emotional aspect of betrayal.
Ok, so maybe it's just a mix of both? I don't think most people are upset about who their SO was with before the relationship so this is definitely on the mark here. You're getting betrayed, lied to, and cheating is downright abusive. So I get why this is such a big part of not getting over it.
