Does affair change who other person was?

I am reading a lot about how an affair changes the spouse of an AP - but what about them? I hear a lot about how they are no longer the person you married - but I am beginning to realize "THIS IS the person I married" but I did not see it.... your take? IS the person who had affair just the real person coming out? Or did the person change along the way?
