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?

What age are you talking? I was thirteen and certainly knew what was going on.
&nbs
My family is my support system, so yes. For me they do. They don't know intimate details, but they know the general situation. I wouldn't have made it through without their support and dealing with the betrayal issues was a necessary part of getting through it.
And it's not like a guy who cheated and had the chick move in 9 months later isn't gonna be found out ... Not a hard secret to keep ...
And I'm not ashamed of what happened. If people ask how/why we got divorced, I tell them. Straight up. No details, but I don't dance around the subject either.

Check this out. . .You found tampons at your bachelor dad's apartment. . .I found whipped cream (the kind in the spray can) and NOTHING else in the fridge.
I was 17 and could MORE than figure out Daddy wasn't making ice cream sundaes with it.
I agree, but I wont' be dishonest with my kids. I have never brought up the subject, but at 8, dd was smart enough to figure it out.
She asked me one day, after the split but before the divorce was legal, "Is Treana daddy's girlfriend?" I answered, quite simply, "Yes". I would have gladly let it drop at that. Dd continued with "Was she his girlfriend while he was still married to you?" Again, I answered simply "Yes". Dd replied, with a puzzled look on her face, "Oh. I'm sorry mommy. that is why you are divorcing isn't it." and again, simply "Yes. That is a good part of the reason. Not all of it, but a major part." She hugged me then and let it drop. So did I.
As they get older and have more questions, I'll answer them honestly. And try my damndest to do so without prejudice.
