I stayed married to someone who cheated for 20 years. It was not all bad; I am not the type of person to stay in a bad situation. As to the "why?" I don't know, except that I loved him dearly and believed that he loved me. It just finally got to the point that I didn't not want to deal with it anymore.

Here is the kicker - I offered an open marriage. His response was that he could not live with that. Interesting that he could not live with what I had been living with for years.

Yes Sarah he would get more emotional about it than you. There is a very good reason. If he cheats and causes a child with another woman you have no investment. If you get pregnant he will be responsible. It has a term that is as old as dirt. Cuckolded.
