Lots of marital relationships survive infidelity in its various forms, and while I think the above example is one of the more serious ones.. I think it is possible to forgive for the sake of saving something which is much bigger than the indiscretion (to put it mildly)... I think they would definitely need counselling to get to the route of what caused the person to stray in the first place.. it won't have happened without reason.. they could have been together from a young age.. she (the wife) could have felt undervalued, unsexy and underappreciated.. who knows I do know though that if there is a slight chance that a marriage of that vintage could be saved then I would hope that they at least try...

My Uncle and Aunt survived infidelity.. she was having doubts because he had a problem with drink and she strayed briefly.. the thought of losing her forced him to change his ways (join AA) and now they are like two teenagers in love.. they will surely grow old together..

I think that the biggest issue you, or your friend, will face is trust. Thats a hard one to overcome. You, or your friend, might still be totally in love with her, but will you ever be able to trust her again, or will that sit in the back of your mind forever.
My ex wife cheated on me. It only lasted a month or two, I still love her, but I could never trust her again. We never had any children, so that factor never played into our solution. I personally wouldn't stay together for the kids sake. It's only lying to them making them believe that you still want to be together. But thats my opinion and I'm sure that everyone on the forum will have a different answer to that.
What ever decision you make, think long and hard about everything before you jump back into your relationship. It's not fair to you, your wife, or your kids if you put them through more problems that can arise in the future because of your decision.
