If your spouse cheated on you, would you seek for divorce or would you try to work it out?

I would try to work it out. It would then depend on whether she was serious about working it out. I would gladly beat my head against that wall for a time, but I wouldn't do it forever.

The answer to that question is simply one of the unknowables.

It would be divorce for me...

True. You can't know what you would do until it actually happened; however, for the sake of discussion consider the question to read "what do you think or estimate you would do?" You're a stats person - pick the choice with the highest probability of corresponding to the actual outcome.

It would depend for me too. But I know now that I am not a forgiving person so I imagine that this would be very difficult for me to forgive. I'd like to think I'd be strong enough to forgive. But I am afraid I wouldn't be.

I would lean towards forgive once.

Cool. Sounds like some of you are married to Kirilenko's wife! One freebie a year. Wahoo!

Is this the sort of thing that can change over time? It seems to me that people who have been married longer are more likely to forgive and forget than couples who are pretty new to the marriage scene.

I myself have been married only 3 years, I know that if I cheated she would probably slip me some roofies and I would wake up 3 days later without testicles. It seems that the older you get in a marriage, the more liberal, or dare I say it, realistic you get about it.

Divorce, because my stock has gone up since we married.
