    < As far as affairs hurting marriages...well, I'm pretty comfortable asserting that they do, usually. Nothing is 100%, but I can see, and I can hear. Whether or not they are "right" "wrong" or "normal", they ruin a relationship more often than not. They cause a great deal of pain more often than not. If you have a reputable study that says affairs are not harmful ("an outcome study") I'd be glad to read it.>

    You are talking about marriages, but not about personal growth and development. That can happen through an affair, as strange as it might seem. I am not sure the goal should always be to protect and preserve a relationship. People have affairs for various reasons, and some might benefit from it. You are not the right person to decide on that, neither am I.

    Regards

    Alex.
