If you cannot work on the marriage or the women is a moron, staying married and cheating makes the most sense because divorce is disruptive to the family life and your bank account.

For me working on the marriage and not making the easy choice of cheating was something that I could not do.

Even though marriage is doomed, if you turned it into a job you like and really work at it - it can be salvaged.

The only way marriage can work is if a man respects the woman and she is a thinking woman and he wants to work on the marriage.

Philosophy is an attempt by man to find cause and effect. Religion has the same goal.
