I guess this is where finding someone with shared values comes in. I travel alot for business and own my own company. That was definately a factor in my D. Learning to balance home and business life is a challenge these days, especially these days.

Travelling presents itself with alot of opportunities, for sure but I always made a conscious effort to stay faithful. My job requires me to stay in good shape and look good...and i do. I can remember several times my xw's friends throwing their unhappy selves at me, but I chose my wife always.

In the end, it turned out that she did not have the same strength and personal life issues got the better of her. She just didnt have the strength to work through the hard times and ended up commiting a crime and then having an affair.

Yes I had issues to work on, but I spent a year working on them and turned around..even to her own admission.

Robx, if you look on this forum, there are many folks here who are committed to being faithful...even some who forgive and work it out. You're right, there are a lot of people who let human nature and temptation get the best of them, but they are missing out on something bigger than themselves.
