Got to believe you know best MP53 - and for sure -the sadness of it all would be horrible. I don't know if, knowing what I know now, if I would ever have a R with someone who was only separated. I had an EA alot of years ago, and one of the reasons it didn't become a PA was my family and the vows I believed in and the fact that I knew his wife and didn't want to hurt his family. I have said over and over, if.....big if... I would ever have a R with someone they would need to be a widower with no children. LOL! I couldn't stand working with someone with an ex and kids!!
I hear you, Rusty. I've seen couples trying to blend families and it doesn't look very fun. I don't think I could have an affair for the same reason as you, but often it's the "heat of the moment" that carries people into affairs, and not clear thinking.
