S_G,

now don't go reading my threads for inspiration or anything like that....BUT know that there are a few folks in piecing who's spouse DID have long term A's of one kind or another.

My h had been involved with ow for a year before I found out about her...three months later he moved out...over six months after moving out and being certain he'd never come home...he came home...ow was still around for a few months (that I know of anyway). Upon h's return I learned that he had some kind of r (other than business) just before we were married...so if you add the two years that I knew of plus what ever went on before (and of course the time in the middle cause let's face it even if they weren't carrying on a r then the seed had already been planted)

Point is it doesn't matter if there is another person involved..sure it can make things a bit more difficult and may take longer for the was to see things clearly but it is possible.
