I don't disagree with the types of relationships out there. It is both partners' decision how their relationship goes ahead.
However, the above implies mutual consent. Cheating doesn't bear that characteristic. What you said apparently signifies that you were able to accept your ex-wife's flaw of being entirely dishonest and disloyal to you.
It all brings me back to my initial statement:
How I loathe when people don't adopt a zero-tolerance attitude to these kinds of things.

When you're young and in college and surrounded by lithe co-eds it's easy to practice zero tolerance. In contrast, when you get older and have invested significant time, money, emotions, etc. etc. in to building a marriage, infidelity may warrant further investigation prior to calling it quits.

Disagree. I accept that for most those are reasons to reconsider thoroughly, but not for me. EDIT: If I were to be cheated on, I'd investigate the reasons but only for my own knowledge's sake, not to rebuild with that person. I've ended a long-term relationship, which also happened to be my first love, right after I found out I was lied to. Feel free to draw your own conclusions on me from that.
Then again, I probably speak from a position of solitude on many issues.
