I am honestly disgusted by women who stand by their man when they have cheated. It especially bothers me when it is women in public office, or the limelight. Hillary Clinton is no role model for young girls and neither is the more recent Mrs. Spitzer. I don't believe these women have any real self-esteem, or they wouldn't allow themselves to be degraded this way. What do you think?

I do tend to agree with you...to a certain degree. Yes, Bill Clinton and Gov. Spitzer did cheat on their wives, and being in the limelight makes it more unforgivable. But, we as people should forgive, no matter how badly we've been hurt. Of course, we shouldn't be made a fool of either. Every person-- man or woman-- has their own mind and makes their own decisions about whether to forgive or move on. You may not forgive your significant other for committing adultery, but that doesn't mean that it cannot or should not be forgiven. That's what makes us different; our opinions and preferences.
No one is perfect; that is why we are human. We all know right from wrong, but sometimes we make the wrong choices, and we have to face the consequences for those choices.

Thanks for responding. Being a Christian I do understand about forgiveness. As well I am a retired counselor. I have to consider both sides of it. I personally donot believe cheating is just a mistake. I believe it is a serious character defect. Most times it will happen again, because it's a part of who that man is. If a man truly respects his wife, he wouldn't even think about cheating on her. We are too tolerant of so called "Mistakes", just because we are human. Mt stance is, if you are "Humane" you wouldn't put another human being through that kind of mental and emotional torture. Cheating although a subtle form of abuse, is still abuse. I would forgive, but I would not continue living with a man with such weak morals. Sometimes we forget one of the 10 Commandments is thou shall not committ adultey!
God Bless, Hannah

I do believe that you have to look at both sides of the story. You can't just blanketly say that it is wrong for a women to stand by the "wrong men". I think that these women forgive and therefore can in good conscience stay with the men they married. What I don't understand is when it happens over and over again and they still stay with them. Now that is what I wouldn't be able to understand. It depends on each separate situation.
