crushed,
it's been almost three years for me and I can tell you that an affair in a m is like cancer in your body. You may go into remission but you need an anual check up to ensure it doesn't come back. Thus the scar rearing it's ugly head. Even the best recovered marriages still struggle with lingering thoughts/fears of the a and I'm not so sure our society isn't breeding a new group who accept and expect to deal with infidelity in the course of their m. (something Oprah even addressed on the show) I'm not conviced that all the shows, special, movies don't play a role in that false "understanding"/ "acceptance" of affairs thus making them more prominent.
