So many posters are adamant they'd leave. I wonder if they did.

I wonder if they thought they'd stay but left anyway.

I am not sure I thought too much about it but I suspect I thought I'd stay if he did.

He did. I stayed. Divorced 9 years later for something different. Happy with my decisions.

This is for a discussion, not judgement on anyone.

I thought it would never happen to me or that I would stay, but I did stay. Lots of reasons too many to go into here. I am 16 years on from the affair and though we had a few really horrible years, I am glad I stayed. We worked on our marriage together and are really happy now. I would say I am even happy about the affair. It woke us both up and we are happier after the affair than before. Controversial I am sure…

This is sort of how I feel too.

Maybe not happy that either of us made such selfish decisions

but happy that it was such a wake up call for both of us, and provided an opportunity for us to have a real objective discussion about our relationship, that we would probably never have had otherwise.
