Does anyone else agree with me that infidelity destroys not just the relationship btw a husband and wife but also the family in general?
If the cheater would just stop and think about how their running around eventually ruins the closeness, security and well being of the family maybe - just maybe - they would not be so quick to jump into the arms of the other man / woman.
The grass is not always greener on the other side of the fence - as the saying goes. Eventually, in most cases - the sex gets old with the OM / OW. Then what? It just isn't worth it.
when someone enters into an extramarital affair, I don't think concern about the family is the first thing on that person's mind ...
one of the shows I watch had a character who summed it up best, I thought: "I love my husband and my kids, but I want something that's mine alone." It's about that person's needs being fulfilled at the cost of his or her family.

I think it's also damaging in that it strains any future relationship between the parents. If the WS would have not been a coward and spoken up before the infidelity happened, the spouse left behind would still be broken-hearted, but not so bitter and angry over being cheated on.

Many stay because they don't think it would be any better to leave.
But not only is meeting another bursting the dam of supressed emotions, it also gives hope of a decent life post break up.
It definitely has a huge effect on the family. Which is why I have always promised myself that if I was that unhappy in my relationship I would leave before starting any kind of relationship with another man. But thats only because of my own experiences, I am not here to judge other people.

MM, OW and OM dont' think about the effects that their cheating will have on the BS and family..They are only thinking of themselves and satisfying their needs and wants at that particular point in time. I do realize that serial cheaters and different...but IMO, it's all the same selfishness to me..Lets' face it, some just don't care!

Even if there is no sex involved an affair still destroys the family. it takes time and energy away from the marriage and the kids instead of fixing things that are not going right in the marriage relationship.
People involved in affairs do not think of anyone but themselves at the time. They may do afterwards but the damage is done by then.
Do you think they're inherently evil, or do you think society has spoiled them?
Society teaches women from birth to hate men so women don't have any guilt for cheating on men or treating men like gargbage because are are garbage to them.
