Why do people stay married to someone who had an affair?

This clown caught another man with his wife in a car and this man knew she was married. He cried for hours and saw a councillor and forgave her.

Because they are stupid and desperate and afraid of being alone , or they have too much invested in the marriage that they don’t want to lose or split , especially if kids’ are involved , and they also don’t want to go through the hassle of a divorce. It’s sometimes cheaper to keep her , but the truth is , if a girl cheats on her husband or boyfriend, she doesn’t love him anymore , she just likes the convenience of him if she decides to go back to him . but if a husband or boyfriend cheats on his wife or girlfriend, he can still love her , but he isn’t completely happy with her , she probably lacks in the bedroom. Men mainly cheat for Lust and women mainly cheat for Love. I been the other guy over a handful of times and all them were in love with me and not their partners’ . They all treated me like Gold and rocked my world in bed

If the married couple has one or more children at home, that changes the decision in profound ways.

Men and women are very different when it comes to cheating, we want a man more when he cheats on us but for men its the opposite and if he takes us back when we cheat we don't want him.

Personally if that were ever to happen it would immediately result in divorce papers being drawn up and issued.

Most men attack men who have affairs with their wives.

OMG... Thank you so very much indeed @robocop666 for the MHO.

First I think they stay or they return because they are in shock and going through all the emotions bit by bit. If this is ever gonna work out it takes some serious work. I think we mostly hear of stories where the partner divorce because of it, but believe there are many more we don't know about to protect their image, right for privacy, that somehow make it through. I would say some relationships are way more complicated and it is up to each individual, each couple to decide what is right or wrong, as long as he, she is happy.

It’s up to the individual whether they want to forgive their partner. He’s obviously thought hard about it, and done the work to get through it.
You never know what anyone’s relationship is like behind closed doors.

@SphynxUK
Totally agree with this, as others can’t tell what is in someone’s relationship

[WhiteThought]

Because he wants to be with her? There isn't some natural law that states one must leave their partner if they cheat.

Divorce is the only thing that gets less affordable the more you have.

If that happened to me, someone is going to get hit and beaten very badly.

Cuz they’re stupid

[robocop666]

read the post there. The idiot cried with his wife for hours and decided to see a councillor with her and keep her. This is after he found her with a man she works with in a car in a deserted parking lot. What a moron.
