The biggest indicator of successful R after infidelity is the WS sympathy to the LBS temporary insanity from the sitch. Marriage Builders.
Please explain what you mean by this. Does this mean there's hope for my marriage? My H expresses guilt about the A, but rationalizes (in his mind, that is) it at the same time.

An affair needs to die a natural death. No contact is ideal but look how hard it is for us to Go Dark completely.
Affairs last an average of six months (they were work friends for years first, though). Okay, so if I can keep my big mouth shut and not mention the R (I blew it again tonight -- more on this in another post), so I'm going to just say six months from today it will be March 8, 2008. Seems like forever.
When you've got kids, it's nearly impossible to go dark completely. I tried it recently, and my son suffered the most.

Ironically, a six month affair is as hard to give up as a10 year marriage. Not fair.
Sickening, isn't it, how someone can throw away a long-term marriage for instant gratification. People in A are completely oblivious to all the long-term damage they're causing.
