I think of my parents, and your story is similar!

My father was married, had separated repeatedly and tried to divorce, but his ex wife was threatening him with not letting him see his children and trying to have him labelled insane or something. So, he kept going back. He didn't love her, and he didn't want to be with her, and he'd tried to get away, but he was scared to lose his kids. He loved them like mad.

At a staff Christmas party, he met my mother, who came as the date of another employee. My dad fell head over heels in love with her, chased her (she said no for the LONGEST time because he was married), finally had their first date on Valentines Day. The rest is history. Yes, he cheated on his wife. Yes, that's not a good thing. But, my parents have been married for 25 years and together for over 28 or 29, they love each other. My father has never strayed. He isn't the type to do so. Even my grandmother condoned his 'cheating' at the time, and that is something!

However, in general, cheating, no thanks. Never done it, don't think I ever will, think it's bad. Yeah.
