[quote=jpinpb] But I must emphasize that for me, the infidelity sexually is not as bad as the years of lying…..[/quote]
That was what I was trying to say in my response to davelj, jp. It was more than just the extramarital sex. The message I got from the interview I read right after they were married led me to infer that she believed that there were drawbacks to their relationship that were outweighed by the advantages. No matter what the relationship, an individual’s decision to accept the existence of intolerable behavior in that relationship is based on past experience. If the intolerable behavior escalates past that “acceptable” level, it presents a whole new crisis requiring a decision as to continue the relationship or end it.
Everyone has their breaking point. Whether they reach it in their lifetime is another matter.
