My ex-father-in-law who's now been married for 57 years had an affair for over 20 years. They are still together. I could not, would not accept it. Like someone said, no respect. I'd have no respect for myself if I forgave that. I would not forgive it even if was just one time. JMO.

Yeah.. I couldn't accept that either.. I would be heartbroken if I thought it had been going on all that time and I had had no idea..
It makes you think back over all that time.. and all the funny little things that now seem to make so much more sense. Personally.. I would feel totally betrayed.. and that would be the end of it for me.
(been there done that)
But as Luscious says... You can't let other people decide this kind of thing for you..
You know the situation and the feelings involved better than anyone else.
Everyon's different. I have a one strike you're out policy. My wife and I were together for 13 years, but she destroyed a level of trust that can never be regained, so as much as it hurts, it's over, we'll never have that back again.
If another man can get past that, more power to him.
constanza: and had he not found out on his own of her infidelity, how much longer would he have lived this lie? with a so called friend too? It really doesn't get any worse.

I totally agree... that's exactly how I see it too.
