My observation is that if there is a tight relationship and one party is betrayed by the other (falling in love with another person), it's almost always irreconcilable.

I've helped people try and struggle through that on both sides of the issue. The person who was betrayed and the person who did the betrayal.

I have seen people grow up and not do it again. And this was in situations where their partner didn't know. In a couple of those situations, it seemed that it might even be described as a necessary experience for the person who did it. It helped them develop.

If there's a back door open, to begin with, or a back door opens, then I think there's something about the relationship that's lacking at least. I think you pay a huge price for that.

The only option is for both parties to abandon the old structure and try to build a new one. This is mostly impossible because the betrayed will always long for the original relationship that they lost.
