Would like to know what is the opinion of the odds of an affair making it when the WH and OW divorce their former spouses, get together when WH never had children, take on 2 children and OW and they both work together and live together day in and day out. Does this relationship stand a chance? They have been together a year and claim they have a good relationship. In their year affair they are going through divorces and have just spent time with just the two of them having fun all summer with none of the reponsibilities of the daily routine of everyday life that mates encounter. They think they can weather anything as long as they work at it, but they are starting on an illicit, lying, cheating foundation. Can they build anything on this? I am the BS and picture them having this wonderful life together that the WH and I were suppose to have. What are the odds of them making it work under these kind of circumstances. I wonder how the 2 young girls will fair in this situation. I think it will be tough.

This type of marriage have a 3-5% chance of success.

My x's lasted 16 months. They too worked together. Then he got fired, partly because of how publically they carried on the affair at their place of work. X quit not too long after because "they" were after her. OM bounced around jobs, x tool one 20 miles away working 12 hr shifts.

In the end om started seeing his x again.

See my post about X divorcing om/h.
