I like the "sunk cost fallacy" argument. 20 years doesn't mean the future will work. Loyalty, respect and trust are still the pillars of a successful marriage.
In spite of everything, they both still cared for each other and some part of them both wanted to make it work somehow. One thing I find interesting is that Jake taking immediate revenge and forcing Wendy to have a picture of him with a younger, more attractive woman, it shortstopped the usual gaslighting and bargaining you usually see from the cheating spouse in these stories. Wendy had a clear picture of exactly how Jake felt about what she had done. And even though it took three months of therapy, they were both able to agree that it was over for the same reason, because they would always have the mental image of each other with their affair partners.
don't forget communication...this was where the initial breakdown occurred and the wasted therapy sessions should have happened before the night of cheating...but she choose to be a 304 over 20 years
Cheating per se is horrible, but why cheaters perform things they reject doing with their spouses? For me that make it even worse. Someone who cheats plays with fire.
I get why Jake did what he did, but he should have gone to his lawyer as soon as the PI gave him the information. I'm not sure lowering himself to her level really did him any good.
There's a few things I disagree with. #1 was his decision to being another woman into their home for revenge sex. I understand his hurt but 2 wrongs dont make a right. #2 is not telling the daughters. If for no other reason than a cautionary tail of what will likely happen when you make stupid decisions.
they always learn too late - too stubborn even though she knew it was wrong - and the thrill omg the thrill - for a few hours vs 20 yrs - i dont understand how women cant control rational thinking - she knew it was wrong but couldnt stop herself hahaha - and the entitlement - i did it yes but he did it too = thats different !!! she says = HOW??? - not to mention doing things for a man she knew for 3 weeks but refusing the same thing for your partner = wearing lingerie
Let's be honest. These women can do all of those things with their husbands but they don't want to do them with their husbands. They want to do those things with other people because it has nothing to do with feeling special,but everything to do with needing and desiring the attention from other people.
I've seen enough of these where the jilted partner takes the high road and ends things cleanly. This one is messier, but it feels more real to me for that.

The symbol of a permanent relationship is a ring, it encircles and excludes all others! Once the ring is broken it can never be complete again.
Double standards, women love it.
And even after weeks of planning their cheating they always claim its a "mistake" as if that makes it mean they did nothing wrong.
The therapy nonsense ruined the story. That shit is a waste of time. Dude should've just filed immediately.
Why did she say she was being honest when she’s been talking to this guy for weeks
Jake. Get the check and walk out of the restaurant. Don’t ever leave the house until divorce is over.
I get why Jake did what he did, but he should have gone to his lawyer as soon as the PI gave him the information. I'm not sure lowering himself to her level really did him any good.

So she lied, cheated. Naw adios to her quickly.
Women like to talk about the fragile male ego. How about a women's need for constant for validation. Not from her husband but from other men
What's good for the goose... what did this woman expect.
