ExtraMArital Relationships

Extramarital affairs are on the rise worldwide and I think it's a clear manifestation of our moral decay and the total disregard of the sanctity of the marriage institution. It is so unfair to be in a relationship and to be cheated by somebody you love and trust. It's even worse when that relationship is a marriage, as opposed to boyfriend/girlfriend relationships. It shows total disrespect for you as a human being, friend, lover and wife. I'm so sorry for your friend whose husband is unfaithful; she doesn't deserve what she is going through and the fact that she even forgives the man just speaks volumes about her as a woman and wife. Any man (or woman) who dares to go behind a lover's back to engage in an extramarital relationship doesn't deserve a special place in the lover's heart, let alone in anybody's heart. Such a person is no different from a dog or a donkey. It's only dogs and donkeys that cannot control their bodily desires...a man/woman should be able to hold himself/herself in check, and when in need should always call upon his husband/wife to fulfill his/her needs. What also makes extramarital affairs common is that people do not fear God. Someone who fears and respects God can never engage in extramarital affairs, so it's also advisable to check a persons character before committing to a relationship. With HIV/AIDS around, one is left to wonder the kind of damage an unfaithful partner can bring upon his/her relationship!

I guess your friend loves her husband a lot. That's hard. The trust is lost and if that happened to me, the thought of the affair would always hunt me. I don't know if I would be able to live with a person who cheats on me, no matter how much I love that person. It's just so weird to have a set up like that.
