This is a difficult and challenging question. The answer is often not a pleasant one. What I can tell you is that the statistics indicate that 80% of the time, the adulterer does not marry the person that they had the affair with. Another set of statistics is that many affairs last only about 18 months. If these statistics are accurate, in a majority of cases, time in on your side for sticking it out. This is not a guarantee that your spouse will return to you. It only shows that that the wayward spouse is not likely to marry the other person and that things will likely play out within 18 months. In many cases, the numbers are on your side. You have better odds than most people are willing to gamble their fortunes on.
