If you want to save your marriage after infidelity, the secret is forgiveness. And it seems that the wife of a trapped Chilean miner is prepared to do just that.
The Herald Sun is reporting: "Yonni Barrios' wife, Marta Salinas, and his [ secret ] lover, Susana Valenzuela, were both holding vigils for him outside the mine.
"Ms Salinas, 56, was stunned and horrified when she heard Ms Valenzuela shouting his name amid a crowd of miners' loved ones.
"However, she is determined not to give up her man to her love rival.
Three reasons to forgive and save your marriage
Before I refer to the article, let’s be clear on one thing — infidelity is the symptom of a larger problem. And this is an important reason to look both inward and at the marriage.
Three reasons to stay:
1) If you don’t solve the problem that was at the root of the infidelity it may manifest itself in other ways and even other relationships.
2) Forgiveness saves your health. Angry, bitter women determined to “get even” will find that hostility is a predictor of heart attacks — as I have documented in previous articles.
3) When children are involved, you may wish to put aside the hurt, and take some time to consider how divorce will affect them.

This is RIDICULOUS. I would just get whatever money his insurance gives me and divorce him. Infidelity for 5 years can never be forgiven. He obviously does not respect her or love her, and to have him in the family will only teach the children that women are to be disrespected. He's lucky he didn't get a stick of dynamite shot down the food and water hole.
