Yes, the alien can go away never to return. I'm a former WAW and I can bet my life today that I'll never be a WAW again and never be tempted by another OM. I'm just not the same person anymore. Unfortunately, in my case, my H gave up too soon and became a WAH himself with an OW but he's yet to make any changes in himself. It can happen, I am proof. But sometimes it doesn't happen, and my STBXH is proof. There are many stories here about both sides. I suggest you read the Piecing forum. Welcome and good luck and remember that as long as you keep hope and make positive changes, anything is possible.
