B50, Every affair situation is different, but the one thing they all have in common, and this I know for sure, is that they take a longgggggggggggggg time to clear. They just don't want to give up the fantasy. Or they can't...they're addicted. Or they feel guilty, about hurting the other person's feelings. It's like you have now bought yourself a ticket to Nuttyville, only you really didn't buy yourself the ticket, you were forced to go there, and now there, you're stuck, becuse that's where you'll be every time you interact with your spouse. Just remember where the exit sign is.
