Does hanging in there after an affair ever make sense?
When a relationship has been hit by infidelity, the first response is usually an explosion of anger. Someone gets thrown out. Or someone moves out. Horrible things are said. Dire words are spoken about how the relationship is over. Often, lawyers are consulted.
But then another stage is soon reached. The stay or go decision becomes real, and the question arises, What should I do with this relationship?

The meaning of your pre-wedding gollywobbles
Seventy-thousand people are going to be married this week. Another 77,000 next week. Every week in fact. And almost every one of them is going to be nervous as hell. If you’re a bride or groom to be, or a friend of one, you know exactly what I’m talking about.
