I'm just curious. My DMs relationship of 20 years is breaking down. He is an abusive arse. She has her moments (by her own admission). He is demonising her, he's cold, remote and something has 'shifted' that she can't put her finger on. Spends as much time as possible out of the house, sleeps on the sofa etc... I think there's someone else involved, she's not so sure.
But without going over their situation, of the proportion of LTR/marriages you know that have split, how many have involved an OM/OW (physically/emotionally/just a new friendship)?
My mum has always said to me 'Men don't leave'...I know that's a bit of a sexist remark, but is it true?
