I don't mean to be a dick, but idk how some of these dudes can live with themselves. If my wife cheated on me, I could give a flying frick how long I'd been away or about our commitment to God. I'm divorcing her and she's not getting a fricking dime. I can't imagine letting myself get run all over by a cheating woman like that. I have too much pride.

our commitment to God

I completely understand your viewpoint here. To me it's all about your personal situation, which is unique and has unique differences for every person.

I guess for me, I took my vows seriously when we got married, the whole better or worse thing, and other than illness, nothing is worse than an unfaithful spouse. And Scripture gave me the right to divorce because of the unfaithfulness.

However, I chose to wait it out, as my personal commitment to God was my overriding factor. My wife obviously didn't share that, and that was her personal decision.

If that means she ran all over me because I didn't run to a divorce lawyer than so be it.

22 years removed from that, and I can still hold my head high that I did what I personally felt was the right thing to do. It's also why I can talk about it in person and on here.

I do agree, everyone has to asses their personal situation and do what they think is best. This was how I handled it, and I don't regret it a bit.
