Sacrificing for Love

Tweet

How much or at what length would you go through in sacrificing your own liberies just for the one you love? Situation: My friend's wife of 8 years went to work in another country while he stayed here so both of them can support their family's needs better. Everything worked for the best up until 10 months of working elsewhere that his wife, maybe of loneliness or seeing a financial support started having affair with her boss. She told her husband about it, reasoned out and assured that she's doing these to support their family more, that when she gets home her affair will end, or he (my friend) could even have a chance to join up with her later. While my friend out of his love to his wife and their family, accepted the situation and prayed for the best that everything will workout fine as she assured. Up until, his wife got a chance to come home for Christmas, but with her boss tagging along. His wife gave instructions to him and her relatives on how to "play out" their predicament. So the complications started. She introduced her husband (my friend) as her best cousin friend, her relatives played along too. So her husband now has to act as if he's just a cousin, while the wife and her boss stayed during the Christmas season. Most of the time spent was with her boss rather than her husband. Going to places enjoying the holiday with the husband tagging along but with limited chance for them (his wife) to show affection. Well, everyone got their "reward" and was given some cash gifts, including the husband and their family. After the season they (his wife and boss) went back to start work again. But still the wife give support to her husband and their family. My question is this: Should the husband behaved as he was told and sacrifice his liberties or should he exercised his "authority" over the situation, let heaven be the judge, even if bad events result even if his wife will loose her job or their relationship ends?
