The lovers can also be victims. This column addresses the anguish experienced by women who present the lover's perspective. I receive an alarming number of letters each week by those whose spouses have fallen in love with someone on the internet. This form of infidelity is particularly common among those who have become addicted to internet communication. You know who you are.
Infidelity is a devastating experience.
And yet, most couples who go though it recover. Infidelity has tragic consequences. Not only does unfaithfulness itself cause untold emotional suffering for a victimized spouse, but affairs create a host of other problems, too. This column considers the choices these women face, and what I recommend. Their husbands also have hard choices to make, and my advice is for them, too.
