Re: Marriage: One unfaithfulness exception, or none?

How damaging is it for someone to have an affair? Does this change if there are children? Is it automatically divorce if that happens? What would be any mitigating circumstances?
[/ QUOTE ]
Auto-divorce for me. There isn't a big enough boot to fit on my foot that puts her out to the curb.
If you're both healthy and know each other are alive, there aren't any mitigating circumstances.

I am thinking of saying that we each get one chance, and after that it's instant split. Is this good?

I hear that's always a great foundation to build on.
She'll probably wonder who you have in mind.

I know that wanting to have an affair is a very human thing, and is natural. We have to resist the temptation, but it can be hard for some people. Any advice?
[/ QUOTE ]
It's human to desire it. It's immature to act on it. If someone can't handle that, they shouldn't be getting married.

I am sure that I can bring this up with her without causing problems, our relationship is good.

I'd love to hear the follow-up on this conversation.
At least you have a 'few years' to get your head on str8 and understand what being married and making a committment to someone really means.
There's a reason 60+% marriages fail.
