Can marriage survive an extra-marital affair?

Dear Dr. Patty Ann,

Can my marriage survive the extra-marital affair, I just discovered, my husband had with his co-worker?

Extra Marital in Milwaukee,

Marriage CAN survive an extra-marital affair as long as 3 things take place:

1. Your husband MUST cut off all contact with the woman with whom he has had the affair -NO, they “cannot just be friends”.
2. You are both willing to completely re-commit to the relationship and understand the circumstances within the marriage that allowed the affair to develop.
3. You are truly willing to forgive his actions and not hold him hostage to the affair going forward.
