Also, this board is not a good demographic sample of the "average affair".
I imagine that most people resort to this board and this thread when the affair does NOT show signs of ending. That's when people pursue help/support and look to these forums.
This forum is not a good sample of the average affair, short term affairs don't get posted on the www most likley because they don't last. You are just experiencing the lasting ones...the nasty ones that live long and are hard to fight off.
Some affairs are like bad colds, others are comparative to marriage cancer.
Most of this forum you will find the serious ones, the mild ones don't need support forums as much as the long term affairs do. Think about the sample you are referencing here..its not a RANDOM sample.
SRS is a basic term in statics for statistically random sample. Referring to only an internet forum, and only this forum even is not a random sample.
Focus on how you work with the information, you aren't just a powerless victim of it. Spouses have a tremendous amount of influence on their partner's affairs. Michele has proven this.
