It's been almost a year since my last post and I have now been divorced for four months. It's been a long and painful journey, but I know more about life and myself now.
But I still have questions.
What's it like on the other side? What's it like to be the mistress or the WAS when an affair is involved? What happens when the two are alone with they know? What's a marriage like that begins in that way?
If you can answer these questions, I would love to hear from you and I promise to with hold judgement in exchange for your honesty.

If you visit Phil McGraw's website he makes a point that over 99% of affair couples trying to make a long term commitment FAIL
The divorce rate for a healthy start is 50%... If the couple is an affair couple who violated and abaondoned a LBS the divorce rate for them is 99%...
It won't last... they never do.
Penny Tupy quotes 90+% on her website as well... So I think you can be conifdent that any marriage that may happen with the affair couple won't last long term
Thank you. I've read all of that and I know the numbers. I was just hoping someone would be brave enough to let us into the real life day to day mind of those who try out a long term relationship with an affair partner.
