Looking at this from a different angle. How do you know this wife is not the one asking or begging him to stay? It happens you know. The spouse doesn't like a change in their partner, maybe a part of them they didn't know existed or possibly kept hidden, keeping that person from being themselves for many years. One day they come out of the closet or make a discovery that brings the individual happiness and the spouse is shocked and upset. The shock and upset is understandable, finding out a secret, which was either purposely hidden, or was not. Sometimes someone discovers something new about themselves later, which wasn't a lie. It was just a undiscovered truth. Something that completes them, makes them feel whole, where otherwise they did not. The spouse doesnt care in the least though, he or she just want things back to the way they want them to fill thier own want. I am speculating, but the wife may be the one wanting to stay married, but want her partner to be who she desires. Is it not possible, for the spouse to be the selfish one, wanting the person not to be themselves, but who they want them to be? THe question is if this were the case scenerio, who is really at biggest fault? The spouse who ends up cheating, because they are not accepted for who they are, or the spouse who insists on staying married and who also insisted their partner be not authenic to thier own inner self to please them? Basically the spouse who can not accept the change is asking that person to live a lie. Sometimes spouses want you to be what they want, and they also want you to stay at any cost, whether their partner is happy or not. When someone begs you to stay but wants you to change yourself? It becomes I cant live with you or without you. THere are always so many factors that play out in peoples lives. Its never as black and white as people like to make it.
