Real world example of recovery after infidelity

A strong example of a couple forging the waters of negotiating a new monogamy agreement and healing after the pain and trauma of infidelity and betrayal: “I’m Married to a Sex Addict… But That’s Okay”

I followed the link back to her website, including her list of “21 Reasons Why I Stay Married to a Sex Addict”, which includes her embrace of codependence/co-addiction concepts and statements such as, “if I married an addict there is a reason why…. if I don’t discover what brought me to love an addict I am going to repeat the cycle over and over again”,

Her final reason for staying married:

“I stay married because I can. I own my life choices, I apologize to no one, and I choose to love and stay married to my sex addict husband. I am not desperate, needy, or weak, but a strong and confident woman….In the absence of popular support or understanding, I stand with my sex addict husband and will never give up.”

I’m especially interested in the opinion of colleagues in the vanguard of the first generation “trauma model” movement.
