Have a look on the infidelity area of the site, Starsky and Train post there often. I know Starsky has posted today. If you find a post of his, click on Starsky in the top left hand corner, and from the drop down box you can view all his posts.
As for the article, I'm not sure on that one I'm afraid, but someone else may chime in. As for your question - is there hope? Well, you already know that most affairs don't last and that most M's survive them. So, yes there's hope.
But, one quote that stayed with me about this site is - hardly any sitches get resolved in less than 9 months, and most take much longer. So, for now, your faith needs to be a longer term thing....this is a marathon, not a sprint.
