You're quite right. An affair is NOT a normal relationship. For the most part, it's a relationship with all the hard stuff taken out. It's like that infatuation with the hot guy at school senior year. He may be the biggest jerk on earth, but in your eyes he's the perfect guy and no one can convince you otherwise.
My husband frequently saw me with the OM. In fact my H tried to be civil and even had him to the house once or twice. I think that was during the phase where he had pretty much given up on me, and was convincing himself I was gone. It's hard to say how long friends and family can put up with his actions. Not forever would be my only thought.
