What would you do? (marital 'infidelity'?)

36. It's sad when people

treat marriage like it's disposable.

When one person cheats, it's a family problem that, in many cases, can be resolved.

Also...there is absolutely no proof whatsoever, besides people's suspicion, that the wife has physically cheated.

Maybe her admission of emotional cheating is a warning shot of some kind...a cry to her husband that she is not getting what she needs from him, and she wants him to HEAR her before she does cheat physically.

If that's the case, and if he can't provide for her emotional needs, then perhaps it's best that they do end the marriage.

These things don't happen in a vacuum.

Anyway, it's pretty easy to say that if one's own partner cheated, the marriage would be over when one isn't in the thick of things.

And now I'm done here because this has gotten way beyond my original point, which was that I believe people need to do what they can to save the marriage if...and only if...BOTH people want to save it.

If the wife in this case doesn't want to save the marriage, then all of this is just meaningless.
