Imo
Some people only discover the problem is them after repeatedly making the same mistakes. They have to fail at making themselves feel better with a fresh new shiny toy several times before they go.....what if the problem is me?

I just don’t think the number matters unless you were looking for a good gauge of cognitive dissonance, in which case I think the number is very relevant.

H has an old employee who is having a MLC....she’s currently on her 7th engagement in about 4 years, she’s never had one survive all the way to the marriage finish line....but remains undaunted.
3 weeks from meeting to engagement on the latest and greatest. 🤷‍♀️

At least to me, the number matters. I'll explain. Tons of different women equal just that, tons of different women. No emotional attachment, no forming a lasting relationship.

2 or 3 or 4 OW/OM, or new woman/men (if the couple is long separated or divorced) with whom the MCLer forms a proper relationship is one more problem. More hurt, more issues, more people.

Your husband's colleague is different than Mr J, seems more like a single guy I know that is at the end of Replay.

Mr J spend 10 years with OW2. In 13 years there has been 3 women, the latest very recent. No one sees anything wrong with 3 women in 13 years, especially when one of them lasted 10 years.

He will never discover the problem. The number of women in 13 years is perfectly normal.

The subject got off track.
SS, can you explain ,why mlc will say this? Are most still in the fog with the comment of saying "There is too much damage" ? If they are in the fog, how  can they possibly know this? they really dont consider themselves in an affair or doing anything wrong?  if they are out of the fog , then i can understand this statement being said.

A quote from a recovered MLCer: 
"From my experience if my H had let me go a long time ago, and stop pressuring me, begging, and pleading and just let go I possibly would have experienced my awakening sooner than I did."
