We had an interesting conversation after watching "He's Just Not That Into You" over the weekend (a trade-off for me making her watch "The Name of the Rose"). For those of you that haven't seen it, one of the couples deals with an affair.
My own marriage would suffer greatly. I don't know if it would end, but it would not be what it was. It really doesn't matter who cheated (honestly, it would probably be me since I'm the weaker of us), but the trust we have in one another would evaporate, at least temporarily. Depending on the circumstances (how long it went on, what the reasons were, etc.), everything could be over. I suspect that the immediate default would be for divorce proceedings to start, but I like to think that reconcilation is possible.
But in the end, the real answer, for me at least is "I don't know and I don't want to find out."
