Idle musing on "doing what works"

[Phoenixdeux]

I was just considering some of the scenarios on here, especially cheating spouses, and it came to me that unwittingly, the cheating spouse may be following DB.

Consider the scenario of the cheating husband whose affair is discovered. What does his wife do? Well, if she's here on this board, she played Miss Understanding and put the blame on herself. She didn't fly into a rage and throw him out. Maybe she even ML to him, perhaps in ways he's never had before. So, what does that tell him? Continuing on with the affair without remorse is the correct thing...it's what works to allow him to continue the affair and get more sex at home...maybe both women in one day. How exciting! So, you could say he's doing what works.
