Boundaries are important. knowing your own personal values and beliefs help set those boundaries. I left my marriage because I wasn't being respected. My STBX was found ( still is ) a MLC. I will not live in an open marriage, I can forgive and understand someone gong through a crisis but you have to be sorry and want to change.
We teach people what we will accept and where our limits are.

Accept what is...let go of what was and have faith in what will be.
