Well, if my last one was any indicator: EEERRRRGGH... KABLOOEY!
Heh.
...
Thoughts:
I think I could forgive just about anything given the right resources (time, location, etc). I can be rational about stuff like this, I guess.
Though the person would have to really flex their guts and make me believe in them again. Trust is a flighty creature when spooked.
The next time I get married, I'm going to make sure to be upfront about the "cheating" issue. If it's just about sex? I could understand that.
I might even lay it down like this:
"You wanna bang somebody else? OK. But you have to tell me first, use safer sex practices, and you're not doing it on my $4000 Swedish sleep surface."
...
I think you develop a certain amount of emotional callus when you go through something like a divorce stemming from an affair.
I need a partner who is there, pulls their weight, and believes in the "you and me" thing. I want to outgrow the "I own your vaj" bit.
Get the feeling I shouldn't have to tell my partner that they shouldn't go sneaking around on me if they need something I can't provide.
...
Then again... maybe this is a lot of wishful thinking coming from a guy contemplating a vasectomy and a life of travel and dating site hookups.
