I've read that only 25 percent of marriages stemming from an affair, actually work out. Has anyone out there married their "lover" and remained happily married?

This is a good quesiton. I am anxious to hear if anyone responds althoug I doubt too many here are in possition to answer that... I have heard that only %10 actually get married.

If you read my signature you'll see that these marrieages CAN work, CAN be better than the old ones-unfortunately.

I'll answer for my sister, and brother who don't post here<p>My XBIL married his OW a few years ago. They are divorced now because she found out that she was not the only OW. And he continued the affairs through their marraige. [img]images/icons/shocked.gif" border="0[/img] <p>My brother B married his OW 20 years ago, they are still married. Had to more children to make it 6 between them. <p>His XW married her OM and and they are still together.<p>My sister L married her second OM. They have been together for about 6 years after her divorce. And they married two years ago. This year they are retiring to their new home in Colorado. The relationship has been h3ll because he cheated on her through their affair and up until about the time they got married. How they stayed together I'll never know.<p>All of the other affairs I now of ended before the marriage happened.
