I don't think my WW had a PA but I do think a PA is much more damaging mentally than an EA. (I don't know what to believe with her any more, though). With PA I've heard most betrayed husbands have a mental image of his wife having sex with another man. I haven't had to deal with that so far, small comfort that is. I do believe PA is much harder to recover just because of those visual images.

Any veterans want to comment?
