You are correct in observing that I assumed the desire to maintain the marriage (or relationship) in my argument. That's simply my particular area (I'm a Marriage and Family Therapist). Having affairs while simultaneously trying to keep a relationship together fails more often than not. As for why individuals engage in affairs, I'm sure the reasons are as varied as the individuals themselves. I don't have a particular moral outrage about this. I imagine people can learn and grow from almost any experience if they so choose. Unfortunately, most of the people I've encountered are not quite as "noble" as all that. Again, I approach the subject in terms of effectiveness of strategy, not moral indignation. I agree with your final observation. I have neither the right nor the inclination to judge anyone's path. I'm simply noting what I have observed.
