Antilove is it really the best because to me i believe that he might change someday because the only thing that is permanent is change.Its so confusing because i dont know how long she can stand being a heartbroken woman.But i hope he realizes that he isn't doing the right and also to know how much his wife loves him

Love is important but it is blind if we don't open our eyes.

Love is truly blind and i reckon that is why she is not giving up on him even when he has been caught red-handed.Its a pity how people cant respect the fact that they are married and they choose to play games

Hi there, Loveworld That depends upon the situation. If they have kids, she should think about it a hundred times and if she indeed wants to divorce him and what about the kids? Is she willing to face the fact that her kids will grow up without father or can she support their earthly needs like clothing, shelter, food ,education, etc, etc. If they have no children, then, I must say that she should divorce him. What is the use of staying married with the person who isn't with her physically and betraying her trust while he is gone. Besides, he is already living with another woman , why keep on waiting for him and hoping to share a future with him? It is best if she moves on and finds her happiness, too. No use to stay with the man who only breaks your heart.

Generally, I would say that I would definitely divorce him especially since he is living with the other woman. In my eyes that is an affair rather than just cheating, to me cheating is a one night stand and an affair is something that has emotional attachment and lasts months / years. Even if I was benefiting financially from the marriage then I would probably still get a divorce because living with another woman while you are married will get you a big settlement.

Yes I most definitely would get a divorce immediately. There is no sense in staying under any circumstance. I have been in an unfaithful relationship before and I will not make that same mistake again. It is not worth the heartache and trouble. Once a cheater, always a cheater, in my eyes. Noone deserves to be treated like that. Some people would argue in staying if there are children, but that is not a good reason to get/stay married to someone. Children, even as infants, can sense trouble/tension in their environment and it is not healthy. It is better in the long run, for everyone, for the parents to go through a divorce, than for them to stay together in that sort of relationship. Kids don't need to be around fighting all the time, even if the fighting is passive; it's a lot of unnecessary stress and hurt. It is better if the parents are happy and separated than together and miserable. If people want to try counseling or try to work things out in whatever way; that's fine for them, but it's just not what I would do. I understand why someone would want to stay together for the kids, but if they don't take some serious steps in working out their problems and stopping this type of thing from happening again, then I don't think it's a smart thing to do.

well.. in my own opinion... i think your friend has to consider first is does your friend have any children? if yes.. i think she should consider her children s' well being because the one who will be greatly affected by the divorce are the children.. so i think she shouldn't.. and divorce is a process.. i think that she should talk things over with her husband and as much as possible to save their marriage.. but if worst comes to worst then i thnk the best person that would decide would be her..
