I've honestly no idea why some women do.

I wouldn't so we don't but, according to MN, there are far more women who do than I realised. I really don't understand it.

Because life is complicated and sometimes it's Hobson's choice.

Women who stay after an affair (I'm one of them) are judged enough. I refuse to judge myself. I didn't betray anyone.

I think a lot of people, a sizeable amount really, live with another adult for financial reasons 😕

I stayed with mine for my reasons. Then he said something to me what was unforgivable and I'm divorcing him. I don't regret staying with him before but this time it isn't a case of regret. It's an absolutely no way can I be with you anymore.

It is a real shame that when a woman does decide to stay with her cheating partner that other women are cruel, unsupportive, unkind, aren't capable of understanding why and can't just give support.

FWIW I turned out to be much stronger that I realised and I am so happy to be getting divorced from him. If you want to leave then you'll get all the support you need but don't stay because of a misplaced thought you can't manage without him. You can. If you decide to stay then it's no one else's business and you owe no one an explanation.
