A Saint? Now I've heard it all on this topic. A woman who cheated on her spouse and started a relationship with another man while married, not even seperated, but married is a SAINT?
Again, genders switched, you all would be calling this person something that starts with "s" and it definitely ain't saint.
From the child's position, I'd have plenty of contempt for both of them personally. But I can see where the mom would bear the brunt of the blame since she decided to return wrong actions with a wrong action.
So 18 years of wrong actions and disrespecting his wife and vows is the least of the offenses?

Responding to disrespect is somehow worse than the original disrespect?
Let me illustrate this.
You leave your home open, someone breaks in and steals something from you. After the danger is gone, you go out and break into their home, go to get that something back and then decide to beat them up out of malice.
That person who stole out of your home would be guilty of burglary, you would be guilty of burglary and battery.

Yes,because the first is one crime, the second is two crimes. What does that have to do with anything?
From where I sit they are even and both deserving of high contempt.
But you sit on the single side of the aisle. If you've never married, you can't say you would never have cheated, or that you could handle 16 years of duty without love. It's easy to pass judgment, much harder to stick to a marriage vow when your spouse checks out.

The person who did the second crime would be looking at more adverse consequences because they added a violent crime with malice to a nonviolent crime the first one did.

Again, what does that have to do with the OP's situation? She did not add a violent crime in response to a crime of any kind being committed against her.
Both parents behaved poorly. I personally belive taking advantage of your spouse for 18 years is showing far more disrespect to the marriage than an affair under those circumstance. In the end they were both wrong, so time to just move on.
