    The struggle as the one cheated on emotionally or physically is regaining trust. I was so trusting- with this man- it eats at my soul because I just cannot seem to get the trust back. I love him- just struggling with trusting again. I want my brain back-

    Same. Caught him talking to one woman. Took him back. Then I found out there were others he talked to. Don't know if there was anything physical because he refuses to be honest and transparent. Love him so much and trusted him blindy and it hurts that he could betray me with such ease.

    When there is no repentance and change, there is no way to salvage the marriage. I gave him 43 years and he kept being unfaithful. I decided it was time to end this mess and file for The voice this year. The papers are in the court and the end is just around the corner. He is deeply regretting what happened but there is no love or trust anymore. Make sure that when you do the ultimate betrayal you are ready to really really leave because otherwise the most deepest pain is what you're going to experience and the only thing comparable probably is the death of a child. Don't make the mistake of going into an illicit relationship and later regretting.

We are not taught how to do this incredibly important relationship, which impacts everyone around the marriage, couple and the family, and ultimately society.

    Why would a man make sacred vows to you if he is just going to break them? Too often, women are told to just deal with infidelity especially if "he only did it once" and to submit to abuse yet if a woman did anything wrong she would be in big trouble. I'm sorry but we as a society and as a church need to teach that adultery is wrong, not "Oh, it's OK. She'll stay with you, where's she gonna go. It was just a mistake."

    Well technically... (whether it's the husband or wife) that is cheated on, the offended party has biblical permission for divorce in this scenerio (and only in this scenario); but I'm not saying that the offended party SHOULD take this route, but that it's allowed in this one case. But whether it was the man or woman in the marriage, Christians should be consistent with this either way; adultery is equally sinful whether it's a husband or wife that commits it.

    Getting it out there in the open is important in the healing process. And, once you recover from it and can help others it shrinks the issue somewhat and makes it easier to let it go. You won’t heal from something unless you acknowledge it and work through the pain of it. I’ve been there so I understand them taking about it and trying to help others.

    It's great that they've been able to reconcile & works things through. However, I found this hard to watch. Whenever Mark (husband) would try to explain & talk through how he was feeling, Jill (wife) would constantly talk over him & shut him down. It makes me wonder if her lack of manners & willingness to not hear what her husband truly had to say was part of his "list". Perhaps what made him frustrated & to seek another relationship??
