Have you ever dated/known/been married to a "serial adulterer"?

This question was prompted by an article that I read this past weekend and it really upset me…but it also made me think, “Do we really ever fully know the people we love?”

Ingrid Seward is a well-known journalist here in the UK and often covers the royals. She is a friend of Prince Charles and was thought to have an ideal marriage. When her husband died, she found out that not only did he have one mistress while they were married….but there were several mistresses. She came across all this information as she went through his things after his death. (Rather like a true “Bridges of Madison County” but in reverse….and with half the county!)

Having been through similar revelations in my own life (while the person was alive and also seeing some of my friends go through the pain of finding out about affairs).... the pain for me was searing, I could not imagine what it would be like to find out after a death…when you cannot even ask questions and find out, “Why?”

Have you ever dated/known/been married to a serial adulterer? What prompts (in your opinion) this behavior? How do you think that this sort of information would affect you if you found out (during or after the death of your partner/husband/wife)? Perhaps you know of someone who has gone through this….maybe you have. Would you be as forgiving as Ms Seward?
