WS was 25 when with his 1st A. At 2nd A, WS is now 29. i am 31. Strange but sad, this WS of mine is my 2nd marriage. 1st marriage lasted only 3 years, both EX and myself were WS, and new of it, at me being a WS in 1990-91 i was 20ish-21, the sad thing is that my A was with my H of now, who now is my WS with a repeat of three times, twice in marriage, once before marriage, but living together, and married for 6 years in august.

Don't think it is age. In researching last night to respond to realitycheck, I came across this tidbit using MSN search (in IE5) in about the fifth page of links:<P>Link Title:<BR>Adultery linked to large testicles <A HREF="http://www.globalideasbank.org/wbi/WBI-21.HTML" TARGET=_blank>http://www.globalideasbank.org/wbi/WBI-21.HTML</A> <P>Article title/subtitle: Adultery linked to large testicles<BR>Summarised from an item in the Times (Aug 11th '97) entitled 'Plastic callipers get the measure of the promiscuous male'.<P>So, obviously, factors other than age should be considered.<P>Godspeed,<BR>STL

It's all very interesting.<P>It's clear that all kinds of things enter into whether or not you'll have an A.<P>I think it's a good idea to keep what Resilient says in mind. By following the MB principals, we have the best chance of keeping A's away.

STL, you are sooooo funny. actually i never thought of that, ha, ha, ha, but you know, how do i know if my H has large testicles, compared to other men; i never strayed to find out, and don't believe i will. i'll just take it for granted he does have oversized testicles, taking into consideration he has done this three times. Still too funny. And thanks, i needed that laugh!!!!!!

I think the research was done under the UN's WAMTRF (World Adulterous Male Testical Research Foundation) grant program. I think you can call 1-800-BALLSIZE for more info.<P>Godspeed,<BR>STL

MAEZY,<P>My wife (WS) was 31 when she had her affair (I guess that fits your profile of a woman in her early thirties [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com])<P>The OM was 38. (I guess that fits as well! [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]).<P>We had been married 5 1/2 years when it happened (we had also been together for 5 years before we were married).<P>I guess we're pretty normal. [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<P>-HD

My WH was 37 when he began A. He was having panic attacks, mild depression (which turned severe after he started A) and yes, bought a motorcyle, lost weight, and started wearing contacts for first time in life!!!

I was 34 during my H's A.<BR>H was 32.<BR>We were together for 7 years, married for 6 before he had his affair.<P>Early mid-life crisis for my H, contributed with alcohol addiction. We have 2 kids. He said that he wanted freedom and wanted to feel that he had no responsibilities. He wanted to do whatever he wanted...hang out in the bars with all of his loser single alcoholic friends, come home whenever, spend whatever, you name it!<P>What a joke! Whether we stayed together or not, there would always be some kind of responsibility that he would be responsible for!
