David Boreanaz clearly believes in the power of positive thinking.
The actor, who came clean about cheating on wife Jaime Bergman with Rachel Uchitel in May 2010, tells TV Week that his affair has been "a bonding experience, in the long run."
"In a sacred ground like marriage, you find yourself out of it at certain times for reasons unknown that can be destructive," the 42-year-old actor explains. "There could be a demon that kind of comes out and overtakes you."
In any relationship, there are "fantastic" moments and "extremely rocky" moments, Boreanaz adds.

Shame on you, what alovely wife, do youknow what a male " ho" is.
Full of cr#2!
"There could be a demon that kind of comes out and overtakes you." What a load of hooey.
@Tracey Timmerman - I was thinking the same thing. What he should be talking about is how she gave him another chance. How she loved him enough to stay. How it was HER committment to the marriage - he wasn't committed since he went looking elsewhere - that is keeping that family together.
@Madison Fox - BINGO. I read that his first marriage ended because he cheated.
@Sara Peterson - it's hard to give the guy a break because he's talking about it like it was a good thing. Can you imagine being the wife, giving your husband another chance, and then hearing this?
Are you joking, DB?? Does her body language say it "strengthened" your marriage? Look at the picture. Her jaw is clenched really tightly, and she's holding her hands in front of her - with a LOT of tension in them. She looks like she's trying to break away from you. That doesn't look like a woman who agrees with you, pal.
Hope he got HIV-tested 'coz he's probably sloppy seconds with that nasty girl!
my mother always said, "a leopard never changes his spots"....best of luck jaime!
Why is Rachel Uchitel involved in so many of these extra-marital affairs???? This is the same woman that Tiger Woods cheated with!
You just dissed your wife again by bringing the affair up (again). Are you proud of it.
What about the other times you cheated on her, with someone other than Rachel Uchitel? Remember, someone was trying to "blackmail" you?
A demon that comes out and overtakes you? That's an interesting way of describing your d*ck.
I wonder about his opinion if his wife would have cheated on him?
Just another gal that will always have to wonder every time her man walks out the door or looks at another women. Whatever - good luck with it.
Contrary to popular belief, infidelity can be a forgiven sin, however opening your pie-hole and saying it's a "bonding experience" and it "strengthened my marriage" is BS! If anything it probably broke down his marriage. He's a very lucky man to be taken back by his wife.
