People still resort to infidelity as the excuse, often unconscious, to end a difficult relationship. Many couples, however, choose to stay together after one or both has been unfaithful. So the big question I invite you to ponder is this: can a committed relationship fully recover after infidelity, without long-term costs?

What has changed so dramatically in the last few years is the number of men and women who enter committed relationships after meeting their partner online.
