That's not a very empathetic response and not very helpful.
I am just stating what I see as a fact. Not directed toward anyone. So what does empathy have to do with anything and why is it or is it not helpful? Emotions seem to run deep over this issue….. maybe that says something…
Also I would say that the EA is the problem IF, as I suspect, the EA took place as a way for Chrome to get the validation he should be learning to get from himself.
I think Chrome has stated this many times.
Plus his affair only complicated and confused their marital issues. How in the world did that not create a deeper problem?
It created problems for sure, but had it not been for the deeper FOO issues, the EA would likely not have occurred. The reverse cannot be said, or at least is not very likely. I find it hard to believe that two people with a stable functional marriage, with a healthy understanding and respect for boundaries, will be susceptible to an EA. It just can’t happen. If it does, then those boundaries do not exist to begin with.
