One:

Some great late night reading. For all the BS's who have been questioning how that their WS could do it, I found this link particularly enlightening http://www.rbc.org/ds/cb001/

Particularly in answering the question of whether that a spouse who cheats has a permanent character flaw. The answer to that obviously is depends on the situation.

Personally, I have never subscribed to the theory that all WS are permanently flawed even if it was a one time thing and have forever changed. It is hard to change a person's character but many on here are examples that change can be done so maybe not a character issue. Perfect examples is Dorry. My wifes sitch is similar to hers. My W definately had a character flaw when she was having the A but today she is a totally changed person. Did her character change?? I don't know. But I do know that my deeply religous wife who strayed from me and God somehow was did the unthinkable. Now she is a completely different person than the one who I originally married and definately completely different than the one who was cat around with another man for nine months. MB has answered a lot of questions for me. This particular article filled in some of the blanks.


O God, give us the serenity to accept what cannot be changed, courage to change what should be changed, and wisdom to distinguish the one from the other... Rienhold Niebuhr
