English term or phrase: you pursued it beyond the first dalliance
Testo teatrale americano (per la messa in scena e non per la pubblicazione). Dialogo tra due ospiti di una casa di riposo.

A: My wife and I were happy once. In fact, I was happy right up until the moment I cheated.
B: Without considering the consequences. Why do we do that, we men?
A: Because we’re weak and stupid.
B: There must be more to it than that.
A: No. We’re just plain weak and stupid.
B: But you pursued it beyond the first dalliance. You left your wife for another woman.

La mia proposta:

[...]
B: Ma tu hai proseguito oltre il primo flirt. Hai lasciato tua moglie per quella donna.

Cerco soluzioni migliori. Grazie.
