When I got married I promised for better or for worse. I imagine if my husband ever did cheat on me... it would be HIS fault for his ACTIONS, but BOTH OF US would have to admit that we let our relationship go downhill in order for those drastic measures to be taken. Yes, I'd be hurt, but I really don't think I would leave.

But then again, I've only been married 2 and 1/2 months! So we're still in the honeymoon stage! I pray I don't ever have to worry about this!

Love,
Elyse

I think the question that comes to my mind when I answer this one is
Would your spouse stay with you if you cheated on them?

I have been married 7 years now and there is a tale that there is a 7 year itch.
The tale being at seven years together, this is the time that you or spouse may wander.
I have always told my DH if you ever feel the need to please respect me enough to inform me of his wants and needs. I was asked to do the same.
I am very blessed to have found a man that will listen, and not condem me for what I ask.
I have also tried my hardest to fulfill his wants and needs. But he never gets upset if I just can't give in to all his wants.
All in all I guess what I'm saying is communication between both partners is what's working for us. But we really need to have an open mind to eachother. Or doubts I'm sure could set in. When there is doubt it leads to mistrust. Keep the doubts out of your marriage as best as you can.
