I will not ridicule you.

Quote From: jcs89115

I will probably get ridiculed for my comment.  I was married and I divorced my husband because of numerous affairs as well as violent behavior between the two of us.  I am a huge advocate of marriage and did everything in my power to make my marriage work.  I finally just came to the conclusion that we were oil and water.

 

My point is affairs happen because something is lacking in the relationship whether it is a sexual relationship or just a plain friendship.  I truly dont believe men or women go out to purposely hurt a loved one.   His choice was poor and I feel for his family.  Do I think he can be forgiven?  Well that depends if it only happened once and he realized he made a huge mistake then yes.  But if this has happened several times there is a problem.  I dont think they should stay married because of the kids.  But now days it seems it is too easy to just give up and divorce.  I think what he did was wrong but it all depends on his level of remorse whether or not he should be forgiven.  And family and friends need to stand behind the familys decision.  It is not for any one else to choose their fate.  It is so easy to judge and say what we would do if it ever happened to us.  A wise man said once It doesnt become real, until it becomes personal.  I heard that at a seminar from a Highway patrolman.  I have always kept that in the back of my mind.  And until you stand there and are faced with a similar situation you wont know what you would do.

 

I am looking forward to watching the show to see exactly how this man re-acts it should be rather interesting.

 

And I'd say sometimes affairs happen for the reasons you stated. But in other cases, I think men (or women) just can't resist temptation. I think sometimes it's just the nature of the human beast. But like DrP always says, you don't turn away from the spouse and go outside of the marriage looking for solace. I'd say it only makes things worse to do that.Best of luck to you.
