Agree totally JC... Affairs are just plain selfish and destructive to those who are not involved (noncheating spouse and kids)...

I understand those things, and it's why I said it's only partly serious. With this exception:

No marriage could ever be the better as a result of a revenge liaison.

Some marriages survive because that path rather than divorce or years of fury was chosen; and the fact that the cheating spouse is, before the fact, in possession of the information that the contract doesn't permit for self-serving non-disclosure parading as consideration for the spouse may act as a deterrent.

On the other hand, it's not a controlled experiment, and some marriages can be destroyed by it that would have been saved by the secret. I know that.

It has worked as a remedy for depression and rage in cases I know.
