Right, it makes no difference, or very little, in how you react. With an OM in the picture, then it may be more of a WW than a WAW, but they are basically handled the same. More boundary setting with a WW, as per Sandi's excellent advice. If it's a deal breaker, then you would definitely wanna find out. Personally, I think it's hard to know IF it's a deal breaker until you know for sure. I can't remember how many times I said that if I ever caught my W cheating, that was it, no turning back. Yet, here I am, having confirmed at least 3 OM in the past 5 years, and thinking that I might still be open to R. It's tough to know how you will react in these crazy situations until you're actually faced with it.
