Then there may be children on both sides from both the betrayed and the betrayer and the AP's children. Then the parents of the betrayed and the betrayer. Brothers and sisters of the BH/BW and WH/WW and their children. Not to mention all the couples friends who are forced to pick a side or just drop them all together. So one act of betrayal can affect from 3 to well over 50 people. And if it involves the forced sale in the divorce of a company or corporation in can extend to hundreds.

      You'd think so, but sometimes it really isn't nearly as black and white. My parents are divorced, nominally because one cheated. But in the years since, I feel confident that I've gotten a complete picture of what happened.
      I love both my parents pretty equally, even though only one cheated. Everything came crashing down when I was in middle school and it's been 6 years. Not every story is as clearcut as one person just throwing it all away for fun. Sometimes there's long-standing issues and cheating is just what pushes it over the edge and past the point of no return.
      At the end of the day, I just want them to sit on the same side of the aisle when I get married. I feel confident it'll happen, so I just have to get there at this point.

      Relationships should definitely be founded upon mutual trust, but yeah, being married doesn't just make that a given. Trust can be broken at any point in a relationship, and suspicion of dishonestly or unfaithfulness can arise with or without tangible reasoning. This story is an extremely good example of how to handle these feelings in a relationship; despite everything, he still puts his cards on the table and is completely honest with his feelings regarding the way she had been treating him, and her completely dismissing those feelings is quite possibly the biggest red flag anyone could ever give in that position.

Maybe he didn’t always passionately love her the whole 20 something years together at all times, but during those times his faith and loyalty was always strong. He believed in not only his love for mom but his love for family and the security of a place to go home to at the end of the day.

    I could believe a lot of these details, but it seems who/whatever wrote this put too many stupid qualities in Karen. If AB was constantly hounding her before the trip about her faithfulness, only to say "he doesn't have a clue!" during the trip, doesn't that just not make any sense? AB spoke about Frank, her trying to push him away from the workshop, accusing her of keeping him away from the workshop with the Canada fishing trip, and, most importantly, even saying "don't do anything that will ruin our relationship" RIGHT BEFORE SHE LEFT?!

    This story actually had me imagine different things and it also teaches us a few important life lessons 'What ever happens in the dark, Always comes to light.' 'Actions have Consequences' and 'Love cannot Live without Trust'. Leaving the old life behind was a difficult thing for AB and he came out strong, it was like a Phoenix being reborn.
    Clearly Karen took AB for granted and never appreciated everything when the affair began. AB was wise to trust his gut feeling to get to the bottom of the suspicious mystery, it may be a invasion of privacy but the truth was going to be discovered sooner or later.
    Though I am curious about the Fate of the now Ex-Wife Karen and her Affair Partner Frank, but we have our own theories of imagination on the subject.

    Ways to know that Telltales posted a fake story.
    1). Too much information (especially at beginning).
    2). Weird time jumps that usually has a big one at end.
    3). The "commenters" aren't mentioned by name.
    4). Seems like a Lifetime drama/Soap opera.
    5). Usually has a 1 vs the world theme / Do it for dan theme.
    6). OP and characters usually goes against normal human nature example: OP gets assaulted in their home and doesn't call cops. Example 2: Person/people OP has problems with "Barge into" their home and again doesn't call police.
    7). OP always has to ask reddit AITAH even though asking that question goes against Human nature of the OP being severely wronged.
    8). Weird Updates that aren't needed.
    9). OP reiterates things multiple times in a single "post".
    10). Stating their feelings/how they feel "in the moment".
    11). IRL laws do not apply. (Battery, theft, harassment, etc.)
    12). Takes most of the video to even get to the title point.
    13). When it comes to wills/inheritance, it usually is in the amount to live comfortably if smart or a huge outrageous amount that it doesn't make sense.
    14). Has a "family business" that is "really successful".
    15). Has abusive parents who do horrible things that are not acceptable or petty (such as abuse, unreasonable rules, favoritism or neglect) But the OP doesn't ask help from family members/cps while being able to do so. -@FinnishM3mes
    16). Has crazy In-law that shows up with "legal documents" that supposedly is from a Lawyer over things that only a court can decide.
    17). "So I'm obviously in the right but some random character(s) who's relatively unimportant to the story says I'm not so AITA?"-@conormac6293
    18). Story is a movie script/OP and crew act like detectives.

    I think the best revenge in all of this is that you have a better story and probably better writing than she could ever possibly hope to have

    The man went through with a divorce, then had a forza horizon experience irl.

    Why are there so many personifying details in the first 5 minutes?

    This man is something of a writer himself. I’ve never heard a more well written and genuinely introspective Reddit cheating story.I genuinely hope it’s real, not because I want this man’s wife to be a cheater, but because I want to believe people like OP exist.

    I’m so glad that everyone except his wife are such good people he is surrounded by love and he deserves every bit of love comfort he gets. Genuinely good people are hard to come by and he didn’t deserve a drop of pain he’s feeling. I love that he’s strong enough to see his value and his friends and babys are so supportive
