If my hubby cheated on me but wanted to stop cheating and stay together, I would. . .until our children were grown and then I'd be gone.

that depends on if I could take care of myself or not,if I have money and job at that moment,I'l just let him go. once he cheated on me ,he's always do.

Don't you think divorce is a stupid and harsh step? Whats the point of going for it just for cheating as marriage cant be such a cheap commodity where one can discard it and dump it without finding the reason!One must reason with him/herself and find what was missing and what made other one to do that and I can tell you if one look deep in him/herself and come up the level of his/her spouse they will get an answer and their will be a better chance of making out of their marriage.

I think you are not taking my response in the spirit in which its been written. No I am not saying the its the fault of a non cheaters that spouse cheats, what I am saying if such thing has happened then one should re look at him/herself and find the answer and i believe one gets the right answer. In your's case urs husband been a compulsive cheater and his case is different. I was talking about some one who happened to cheat on his/her spouse and that singular act of waywardness doesnt amount to divorce.

I hope you are not saying it is the noncheaters fault that the cheater cheats? First of all my ex-husband cheated because he was/is immature and selfish. He did not cheat once with one woman but repeatedly with multiple women. It was not because he was "lacking" at home because believe me he was "getting it" at home also. That is what put me at risk but thank God I did not receive a deadly incurable disease from him. By the way he cheated with young girls mostly (16-18 years old when we were both 23-25 years old).

marriage is a sacred thing.
it binds 2 people into one
resolve your problem without divorce, if it still can be done.
hear what he has to say, what his reason an and all.
i think divorce should be your last resort.
especially when u already got children

When a spouse cheats (women cheat also its not just the men) they are putting thier partner (thier spouse) at a tremendous risk of STD's including aids and I don't care how carefull you are there is still risk nothing is 100% except abstinance. Not only that they have breached a trust within the marriage that will never be the same again. Yes some couples are able to get past this and heal their marriage but for me I got a divorce because I could never trust him again.

Yes, if my husband cheated on me it would be an instant divorce. There would be NO second chances. The reason for this being, things would never be the same. From then on, everytime he tried to be loving towards me, I would be thinking about what he did and it would drive me crazy. Adultery is the one thing the Bible says is an acceptable grounds for a divorce.

I would not want a divorce, but trust is so necessary to love. Without trust there can be no love. I can't imagine life without him, but if he were to do that, he would not be the man I married. Fortunately, I do trust him, immeasurably.

I've had that happened and I left them right away. When I had the money I then got the divorce.
