Question: How long do affairs last?
What do you do when your spouse gets involved in a romantic affair, and says they’re going to break it off with the affair partner, but doesn’t?
What is the timeline for a romantic affair to “end?” It was exposed to the light of day, but they’re “in love.”
MLC Bystander
Michele’s answer:
By virtue of the fact that your alias is “MLC Bystander” – (midlife crisis), it shows that you understand that your spouse’s mind and body have been temporarily abducted by an alien. Your spouse probably blames you for everything and is totally infatuated with his or her affair partner. Many midlife crises do end eventually as do affairs, but there are no guarantees or guidelines that apply to everyone. It is said that most affairs end within six months when the bloom is off the rose. It usually takes longer for midlife crises to end. The people on the online community on this website say it takes about one month to every year of your marriage. So, you do the math. But in the end, only you can decide the right amount of time to wait for things to turn around,
Hang in there,
