Discussion: Although I'm cheating on my obese, sexually dysfunctional wife, my conscience is clear; I did not leave home.

Many couples in which one spouse is ill remain living together, sometimes for economic, social, or both reasons. Couples who had a good relationship before the illness usually stayed together and supported the sick spouse. The ill spouse usually knows and feels if their spouse is cheating on them. Infidelity is not just sexual infidelity, but also and especially emotional infidelity. The damage to the betrayed spouse is especially severe because he is helpless.

Recovery from addictions is usually associated with love and support. Without love, it is almost impossible to recover. (Also applies to same-sex couples)
