Well SubAtomic, hopefully, if you ever do get married, it won't happen to you. It was one of the most painful experiences, up to that point in my life, that I had ever experienced. Finding out your wife, who you trusted and were faithful to, and would die for, cheated on you, was intensely painful. I would compare it to a woman being raped. We made the best of it and the marriage survived a long time after that, but I thought about it everyday of my life for about 10 years. I still loved her, but it was never the same after that. And the marriage finally succombed to a merciful death. Maybe this guy doesn't love his wife, like I loved mine.
I still can't be with another man's wife. It goes against everything I believe. That being said, now that I am divorced, fornication with another single person is the only way I fly and I hope to be soaring soon again in SJ.
I think you made the right decision in not pursuing her. To be honest, she is the one who made the bigger mistake. She is the one who was married and made promises she obviously chose not to keep.
Forget about it. Life is short bro, have some fun....(with single women hopefully)
