Are you saying you think every marriage tainted by infidelity ought to end in divorce, in your opinion?

Are you and Zelmo both saying you COULD place yourselves into a tempting scenario and that your will power and morals would protect you?

I believe he is saying he is above such a marriage. Recovery is not something he would ever be interested in.

And does not understand why anyone would lower themselves to the point of recovering an M that was tainted by an A

Is that about right Z?

I can. loveheart

Is that not the purpose of this site?

Not according to the preamble. It's a discussion forum with room for dissent.

I can say that I am not in a marriage with someone that cheated. Can you?

Many a good man has failed because he had a wishbone where his backbone should have been.

We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face... we must do that which we think we cannot.
