It sucks, and that's why I would probably choose to stay with my wife. I'm not rolling the dice that my kids will be okay. The statistics alone are enough for me to want to stay.

get you a side chick and roll with it.

Divorce ain't that big a deal. People keep talking about kids... people who resent each other and stay married do way more damage to kids than people who part ways.



I disagree. I've seen it too many times. Divorce brings out the worst in parents. Their money and their kids are at stake. They lie, cheat, steal, do whatever it takes to get the upper hand. They hire lawyers who are "dogs in the courtroom" and all they do is light a bomb and leave the family to pick up the pieces. It's terrible.

Who said it would be loveless? I'd still love my wife. I wouldn't stop loving her just like that. It doesn't work that way. I would feel betrayed, sure. I'd probably have my own personal sidepieces to keep me happy, but then return home so I can be good father


frick that, and everything you've been posting in here. Nothing against you, I just couldn't disagree with you more. So you would continue to love someone

that you put your faith, trust, and commitment to that has deeply betrayed all of that

would feel betrayed
? How could you want to continue to be with a person and PRETEND when you were FORCED into a position to have to make that decision because of the selfishness of that bitch? She makes a mockery out of you and everything that your relationship stands for and you would just accept it? Would you want your daughter to grow up and take after her whore of a mother that has no loyalty?

Important Questions:
Kids or no kids?
Let's say kids. If no kids then this isn't an issue. You dump her.
How'd I find out?
She got depressed and confessed.
Was she completely wasted?
Drunk. But not passed out drunk.
Does she have to continue to travel to make money?
Up to her.
How's my professional career going? Have y'all accumulated significant wealth together?
You make significantly more, but she has a career in her own right. Wealth is on track. And inheritance etc.
You have waaaaaaaaay too many specific answers.

Sorry she cheated on you.

For real I'd probably try to keep the nuclear family together and forgive her.

I wouldn't admit that now to her though.

Not always. If you can be adults about it, it's not so bad. My ex and I get along great. We put our child first. But, neither of us cheated so we weren't hateful about it.
But, I've seen enough horrible divorces to know you have a point.

I'm never ever getting married again. Ever.

An affair is a symptom of an already volatile and unhappy marriage. People content with their relationships don't cheat on the other.

So if it were me, a lot of factors would have to come into play before I could answer. What is the current status of the marriage? Have they had problems like this before? Is it going both ways? Are their children involved?

In a perfect world, the wife has a one-night stand and just doesn't say a word and life goes on.

No way. Once tainted, always tainted.

I've never really understood why cheating out of lust rather than love is a big deal.


While I'm not going to be so passive to understand how it's "not a big deal;" I would imagine it is possible to get over an affair that was out of lust as opposed to one where the person fell in love with the person they cheated with and continued on a relationship.

No. Because then I'll go frick something and she'll get mad and round and round we go. Might as well divorce.

the idea of my wife cheating then having to pay her child support while only seeing my daughter a few times a month is absolutely horrifying to me



It was mine too, and then it came true. And I tried to work it out for almost two years. I tried to excuse it, because she was doing it to get drugs and she had gotten sober. I went to marriage counseling alone. I did everything I could to shake the feeling of devastation I had inside of me. I really tried for my two boys. Eventually, I asked her to do a separation for a while. She refused and told me we were staying together or getting a divorce. So I said ok if I have no other choice, I want a divorce.

Now she's remarried to a guy she knew for all of 5 months, the only guy she dated after we split (her rebound). He's a douche that I've already had to threaten for yelling and putting his hands on my oldest. It kills me every time I have to drop my boys off for a week. I would never wish on my worst enemy to be cheated on by their spouse. It tears you apart inside, and you never completely recover from it.

Nope. Once you cheat or intend on cheating, the relationship is done. Trust can never be won back in that situation.

I wouldn't want to know about it. But I don't think I would divorce her for getting some strange.

We're talking about a one night stand here. But I sometimes forget I'm on the OT where everyone is perfect and never does anything wrong ever. I just hope you don't ever eyeball other women or ever think about other women.

The answers to these questions are always so bold until the person has something like this happen to them.

Are you equating looking at someone other than your spouse to fricking someone other than your spouse?
