A few musings…
My kids are all still pretty young, and while they may have an
understanding of affairs and know that their dad had one, I don’t think
they truly understand what it means.
Will I ever fully explain it to them…I don’t know.
Right now, there really isn’t any reason to. Will that change if, someday down the road, one of them is cheated on by their spouse? Will they get any comfort from learning that a marriage can survive infidelity? Maybe so.
When my husband and I were dealing with the aftermath of his affair, my dad and mom told me about how, many years ago, my dad had been in a very brief affair. They survived it…their marriage grew and has lasted 50 years…
I’d like to think that ours will too.
