Consider the case of a wife whose libido rages unabated after learning her husband has been rendered impotent by pharmaceuticals or by accident. Though others might object to her taking action, few could fail to at least understand her thoughts of seeking liaison, just-for-sex, with another man.

If she is offered such opportunity but declines, who of us might nevertheless find her guilty--of glowing with pride and arousal, long-term, along with regret over having missed her moment? Guilty of clinging, long-term, to thoughts of a second chance?

Just for sex, outside an otherwise good marriage? I would counsel her husband against branding her with the mark of infidelity.

I would be less concerned about the physical aspects of cheating and more about the sort of person I was married to.

If a person who is married is having an affair, he’s cheating not one woman but two. He is lying to the mistress about divorcing his wife and lying to his wife, telling her she’s crazy, he’s not cheating.

So already he is a cheater, a liar and a gaslighter. He is using them both for his own pleasure. Add user to his pedigree. (If the cheater is the woman, it’s the same.).

He is also putting both at health risk.

I would have no time for him, accept that I chose wrong and terminate the relationship. Then we’re both free to live as we please.

Nope ! Infidelity is a deal breaker for me.

Nope i would leave. When you fuck someone its intentional. Its not a mistake.

it's a persons choice if they wish to forgive their spouse or not.. obviously it's not ideal but marriage is more than just a relationship it's a complex contract involving other aspects of life .. how or why the other person got out of line is taken into consideration if the marriage should be bothered to be saved or not .. ideally such a thing would never happen but shit happens when people are selfish and inconsiderate

I have never been married so I can’t say for certain, but if it was just sex, I can’t see it as that big a deal. People make mistakes. If there is real affection for another and I have to share, it might be different. It would really depend on how strong your love is.

Imagine after years of marriage your significant other decided you weren’t worth enough for them to be faithful

It all depends on how did it happen,was it one of spontaneous thingy or was it planned over some period of time ,if spontaneous could be considered just sex ,if was planned over time it's betrayal ...

I personally couldn’t stay, been there myself, once trust is gone it’s game over for me.

Yes, I agree. It’s just sex. It means nothing.
