The marriage was already over and the only reason he didn't go for a divorce was because of the kids.hsimone wrote:I agree with gali on this one. If you "have to" find "relief from someone else rather than your partner", then you shouldn't be with that partner. At that point, you are not partners anymore because not only is the first person cheating, but he/she is also lying everyday. Then the next question is - what kind of relationship is based on a lie?gali wrote:It still doesn't justify it, in my view.Amutinda wrote:I think its a matter of emotional stress, you find relief from someone else rather than your partner

Actually this was cheating, I agree, but still I can't blame Yaser. He had a lot of stress and Isabelle was his pain killer. If your own wife has turned to be something else, what do you do? Thank God he changed his mind.gali wrote:Ssinghal raised an interesting point. According to him, "what Yasser did doesn't count as an affair, as he did not have any physical relationship with his lover". I think it is still cheating, even if he didn't realize the affair. And he did try, but he retreated at the last minute. What do you think?

They were technically still married though. If they both felt that way then why wasn't his wife cheating too?Ssinghal wrote:The marriage was already over and the only reason he didn't go for a divorce was because of the kids.hsimone wrote:I agree with gali on this one.

I would personally consider it cheating if my husband engaged in that type of behavior. It would be a major issue in our marriage, one that might end the marriage.gali wrote:Ssinghal raised an interesting point.

Reacting to the issues by cheating does not solve the problem.yellosteel wrote:Am not saying its not,but the fact still remains that for a marriage to be successful is a collective responsibility of the partners.
