Some men are smart like a fox. Many still love their wives but arent being fulfilled in other ways. When they can have cake and eat it to why get divorced. They know darn good and well if they were single someone would pressure them for marriage and thats not what their wanting.
yes the wife doesn't work, only him. I get the impression money is tight too. He doesn't make six figures or anything.
Stay at home moms and dads are at a disadvantage in this case
Its not so easy walking away from a marriage when you have no skills to support yourself. Even then re entering the work force people will start at low pay

I mean, I don't know if SHE wants to walk away, I don't know anything about her...

That's assuming the spouse is even aware of the infidelities.
The OP's question was why the cheater stays, not why the person being cheated on stays.
They get something out of having a spouse/long-term partner, get something out of having a piece on the side, and are unwilling to relinquish either if they don't have to.
My first love got married and is miserable. He contacted me several years later and wanted to meet up. I asked him why he didn't leave her and he said it would kill his mother.

Hah, seems likely.
When I was in between my previous relationship and meeting my now-husband, I was randomly contacted (thanks, facebook!) by a guy I'd dated when I was college age. After the usual "Hey, how's it going?" catching up, he got very, "Hey, next time you're in the area, let's meet up." THEN, it came out that he's married, and he went off on this "I'm so unhappily married, it's been a loveless marriage for five years," schtick.
Uh, sorry, no sympathy, you're talking to somebody who just got cheated on. I asked why he stayed, and it was the usual BS runaround. 'Bye, dude. Keep your own house in order. If you're not happy, it's on you todo something about it.
