Thank you very much!


Well, I happen to believe that in each person doing this to their spouse they must feel some sense of guilt - of right and wrong - even though they justify their actions. (Must like a drug addict who knows what they're doing is wrong but can't stop themselves.) The escape is from her own misery - from the guilt - even though it is self-imposed. What she gets from the A is a temporary feeling of satisfaction/happiness.
