If despite an affair there is still a deep foundation of love and respect (and an affair doesn't necessarily mean the exclusion of those things), then a marriage should be worth saving regardless of the existence of children. Without that underlying love and respect then the marriage isn't worth much, no matter how many children are involved.


How does the existance of an affair NOT necessarily exclude respect? i.e., by definition, doesn't an affair indicate no respect for the faithful spouse and for the marriage?

I'm just trying to understand your thoughts prior to offering any advice on your particular sitch.
