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.

I betrayed my spouse 10 years ago. I developed a deeply meaningful relationship with another. When this abruptly came to an end, my psyche shattered. An feeling I can’t describe in words. With time and help, I put myself back together as a better person.
