An affair doesn’t necessarily have to end in breaking up or divorce. However, at the end of the day, it all depends on your boundaries, what you’re willing to tolerate, and whether your partner is genuinely willing to make amends for destroying your trust. Accountability is basically the core non-negotiable part of the healing process.
As Verywell Mind stresses, you should look at your own needs before you start analyzing why your significant other cheated on you.
Meanwhile, the person who cheated needs to take responsibility for their actions. Trust takes a long time to reestablish, but it can only be done through consistent honesty, transparency, and communication.

I guess he assumed I wouldn't go if he didn't, because I went and found him there with another woman. The look on his face when he saw me was priceless.

First of all, the cheater needs to immediately put an end to their affairs, stop lying to their partner, and own what they have done.
“Being patient and giving your spouse space is essential. That doesn't say it will work out. It may not. But without accepting full responsibility (not blaming or justifying your behavior) the chances will be low,” Verywell Mind emphasizes.
The main challenge here lies in both partners listening to each other and understanding their needs without making assumptions about the affair. Naturally, working together with a therapist is recommended.

All in all, overcoming infidelity (if that’s your choice) requires mutual forgiveness and a very strong commitment to the relationship.
WebMD recommends that you shouldn’t rush any decisions after finding out about your partner’s affair. You likely feel angry, sad, guilty, betrayed, etc., and it is difficult to think clearly. If you are in distress, immediately reach out to trusted family or friends, or get in touch with a mental health specialist.

One night he ended up the post game player interview after scoring 15 in a pretty bad game. I was watching with my parents when the commentator asked how he was sleeping with the new baby at home 🥴

She checked the joint account to make sure there was money on the card she had with her. Instead she saw airport parking charges. She confronted him and said, “Have you been flying to Indiana to see your ex?” And he said, “Why are you looking through my phone?!” That was it. He had a whole secret family w/ his ex.
