Quote: Do you know any couples who have overcome their feelings of violation and betrayal, and gone on to have a better marriage?
Has your opinion about the chances of a marriage surviving through infidelity changed from what you may have thought before it happened to you? Possibly went from "no way", to "maybe"?
it's funny, because i remarked to my mom the other day "you hear about all the scandulous breakups, but you never hear about those that stay together" - i have found since the bomb has been dropped on me that 5 couple friends of ours have lived thru infidelity and STAYED together. imagine that, we had NO idea - no idea there were problems, no idea that there was an affair
i told my h during our entire time together that if he ever did to me what he did to his first wife (affair) i would leave him lock, stock and barrel. but when actually faced with that decision i decided against it (imagine his shock) - now i am working harder than ever to keep this marriage, despite his feelings on whether i can ever forgive (i think i have) or not
