Can an affair ever have a happy ending?

You have all been complicit in deceit.

A bit harsh that, even from you.

Do those who have read Kulafey's and Fritillary's posts still feel that the other woman is 100% not to be blamed for the collateral damage an affair causes? That it's ALL the wandering husband's fault?

I've never said (nor do I feel) that the other woman (be it PTN or Kulafey) is 100% not to blame, I don't believe that it's all the wandering husband's fault.

However, I do believe that the person who is in a relationship should know better and behave better.

The woman or man who is having an affair with someone already in a relationship with someone else is not blameless, but I (and this is just my opinion) think that they are not as much to blame.

FWIW, I thought the description of what Kulafey did as the 'other woman' and what Frittilary experienced at the hands of the 'other woman' is truly appalling.

I thought it was funny . Lightened the atmosphere anyway!

I'm still quietly bemused as to how anyone has an "online affair" that can be described as such. It all sounds rather tame, and presumably rather frustrating!

I think that's fair enough. And I am one of those who has admired your behaviour and decorum in this thread, very much.

And then I looked back and noticed frillitary's bravery in ''sharing'' had not also been acknowledged by you. I imagine she's opened herself to critism too from some.

The irony is that for serial philanderers they are obviously not happy in themselves, otherwise they wouldn't keep looking for the next cheap thrill.

On an American infidelity website I visit they are very hot on repeatedly unfaithful partners being "sex addicts", and in cases like the above I'd be inclined to ask yours to seek therapy rather than yet another pointless fling.

If anyone here really knew about universities they would know that extrapolate yes, but do it with caution and know that there is no certainty. This is the case with the OPs relationship. Applies in the university of life too;)
