Why would a man continue a long term affair if he knows he could lose everything?

As far as I know, many since Y2k still follow the religious teaching that one should not have sex until marriage.

In contrast, you can read here in G@G that many atheists are ok at being promiscuous.

Hence my opinion is, religion (not necessarily Christianity, but many others) is still a strong force that motivates people to get married before engaging in sex.

Love? Only if it's spelled L-U-S-T. That's the only thing that makes sense.

Otherwise, if he/she doesn't want to be married any more, just tell her/him you want a divorce. You can't force someone to stay married. After that, they're on their own.
