Having an affair is taking a risk. In many ways it is akin to gambling, where part of the thrill is the danger of the risk itself. Like gambling, it can become addictive as well. When a person experiences the rush of adrenalin associated with an affair, it is difficult to go back to routine and dull compared to what they have gone through.
If your spouse is a gambler, chances are they have taken changes with their financies as well as their marriage. If you are hoping for big bucks in a divorce settlement, you may want to think twice. If they gamble at one, they have taken risk and are likely on the edge of credit as well. Those with solid, conservative wealth, are more likely to protect their wealth and not take risks. Having an affair is taking an unnecessary risk. They are putting their marriage and finances at risk. The money conscious types will not want to expose themselves like that.
If you sposue is a “living on the edge” type, the likelihood of putting your hands on a large settlement is small. The courts may award it, but that is far from collecting it.
