I don't know about every relationship, but I know about mine. It did ruin mine. We grew apart, he cheated, and now I can't get over it. We were supposed to be apart for only three months, and it ended up being five. I found out the night he joined me in Indiana that he was cheating on me, which he still denies to this day. Then he got a job as a manager somewhere, and was in an "innappropriate relationship" with an employee, and then began a relationship with another employee. I call the first an innappropriate relationship because he didn't sleep with her or do anything physical, but there was emotional cheating. The second relationship with an employee was so "serious" that he asked for a divorce. During all of this, I was having health problems, a pregnancy scare, and my grandmother passed away.
For whatever reason, he decided he wanted to stay and we agreed to try to work things out. It's been a year, and I can't get past it. He won't apologize and he hasn't changed, and I just feel uglier and emptier every day. I don't think we will ever get "us' back...And it breaks my heart more and more every day.

I don't know you or all of your situations, but I do know that love and hard work can make things better. I have been in a relationship that was sort of the same. I told my husband that we needed to either move forward or that I was going to move on alone. Marriage is hard work, I know from experience. I don't know that I would keep putting myself throught the pain though.
When I asked my grandparents how they lasted 50 years of marriage my grandpa said, "she made it work!" and she said "We just weren't both out of love at the same time." (He was an alcoholic and she a mother to his 7 children for 15 of those years.)
If you want to talk I am here to try and help.
