Would you or could you possibly forgive a cheating spouse? Why or why not??
Is there hope after infidelity?
Do you think SAHM's are more likely to forgive a cheating husband then WOHM's due to financial dependence/independence?

To what offensive racial comments are you referring? I can think of two
Choose your friends by their character and your socks by their color. Choosing your socks by their character makes no sense and choosing your friends by their color is unthinkable.
Might you point out where I said adultery can't hurt anyone other than the couple involved? Oh. That's right. I didn't.
It would, however, not have been anywhere near the issue to your children, or your XH's mother, or your parents, had it not been an issue to you or your XH. Don't get me wrong, I don't blame you one bit for it being an issue for you. But that just goes back to the point about it being primarily an issue for the couple involved. If neither party to a marriage thinks it's a big deal, it isn't.

Sometimes I wonder if I block things from memory.
I must. I have been reading some archives and it has been quite illuminating. We had the sleep discussion back in 11-04 and you and I got into it over resentment then worked it out.
Do you ever wonder if we are just stuck in some sort of hell where we discuss the same things over and over again but it is too addictive to stop?

Bullcrap. As a staunch Catholic, my MIL was extremely distressed to hear that xh committed what she sees as an huge sin. She was VERY hurt. Really had nothing to do with me. She felt failure at her raising of him. She was hurt sorely.
And my parents viewed, and still do to an extent, xh as a son. They were hurt by his actions as well. They have expressed, at times, their surprise at how well I handled it and expected me to be more hurt. My level of hurt didn't affect their level of hurt by him. They had a different hurt about my hurt. (damn, that was confusing)

I'm not sure I could forgive a cheating spouse especially if he said he loved her. I do not think that there is hope after infidelity because the trust is destroyed. I think that stay at home moms are more willing to put up with infidelity and other BS than those who work and I agree that it is due to financial stability.
If he cheated, he wasn't really happy anyway and I think that we as women know when the relationship is strained. Unfortunately many of us are scared to confront him about why he is unhappy or worse can't make the time because of the kids and household duties that accompany it.
