How do the betrayed spouses handle it? What I mean is, how do you go back to your friends and your family, (who are probably telling you that you are crazy and to leave the unfaithful one) and say "no. my marriage is worth more than that." How do you handle all the talk behind your back and even probably some to your face? How do you do it? How do others do it?

I am fortunate I guess to have friends and family that have enough respect for me that they do not even attempt to tell me how to deal with this situation. They are mostly just trying to be there and help me with my kids and all. I would not listen to what people think and to be honest, I don't tell a lot of folks all of the details that they don't really need to know. Partially out of shame/embarrassment on my part and some semblance of respect for my wife. I do not want to try and vilify her to friends and family. I have told no one of the EA/PA to be honest. It is not their business.
