Oh, that's nonsense. No one here knows the entire backstory and only rarely does someone cheat on their partner even though everything is going great in the relationship. Often people just grow apart and then live next to each other for years, that's just how it is. With children, many pull themselves together again, without children this "obligation" is missing and then one of the two simply looks for something exciting on the side. Looking for blame in that is stupid. But it is also very difficult to prove the separation year in the shared house, especially if one does not even want the divorce. Then a drunk evening of weakness is enough and the separation year is over and starts again at zero...
