There is no formula for a "doomed" relationship.

Maybe they were trying to work things out. Just because you wouldn't do that doesn't mean that other couples wouldn't.

I also don't believe in the "once a cheater, always a cheater" mentality that some folks do.

Wtf? Anytime a spouse cheats on their spouse, the marriage is usually damaged.

Dumb question.

Learn to use common sense people.

Most marriages are doomed.

Statistical fact.

I would say that a woman who is knowingly with a man who cheats, knows that he is a player, and ignores it, so is actually MORE likely to stay permanently married to the douche because she chooses to be co-dependant and spineless.

9 months in, you're supposed to be all lovey-dovey, the honeymoon phase, if you will.

Doesn't bode well if you're looking/cheating at that stage of a marriage.

It's up to the people in the marriage to decide, and no one else. The whole idea that an act of extramarital sex should instantly mean the end of the marriage is a rather American notion, and a fairly recent one at that. In Europe and elsewhere, infidelity is more likely to be viewed as a problem to be worked through, as with any marital problem. Sometimes people can work through it, and sometimes they can't. Personally I wish more people in our culture would try to work through it, and I would never criticize anyone for successfully doing so. Good for them.

I bet the majority of marriages would end in this situation, but there is no rule that says it must end. Especially when evaluating it through such generalizations.

A lot of couples can get beyond an instance of cheating, and rebuild the trust in their relationship. Many cannot too. It is situation specific.
