While all this was happening to me, i would have taken the WW back, regardless of EA or PA..
The whole "give me the magic bullet... I want to save my famly" was at the forefront of my mind.
3 years on.. I'd tolerate neither. I'm a different person and i don't have the fear of losing something now. I cringe when i think of what i would have tolerated / settled for.
I also believe, if they are capable of EA, they are capable of PA. Factors like timings , opertunity etc may come into it - but i think its just a matter of time and opertunity before most people take that next step.
"affairs start in the head, not in the bed"....
After my WW first EA, i believed all her BS about not doing it again - leopards dont change their spots and it was just a matter of time and opertunity.
If somebody is prepared to have an EA, their head isnt in the relationship and they are prepared to break the trust between them and the LBS.. So why would any LBS want to live like this..
I'd prefer to live my life with a new partner who have never betrayed my trust, as oposed to somebody who has a history of breaking it..
just my 2 cents worth.
