[quote=Anonymous]The first time the scandal broke, she was fairly recently pregnant (first trimester) with their child. I cannot fault anyone in such a position for deciding to try to work through infidelity, it's an incredibly vulnerable time. So let's imagine they work through it, do marriage counseling, he does individual counseling, etc. And then he has a relapse a couple of years later and gets caught, they try again to work through it, but when it then happens again, she's done.

Imagine if he'd been an alcoholic instead of a sexting pervert (which I'm sure has been labeled an addiction by someone involved). She discovers his drinking problem, supports him as he gets help, he gets sober and things seem to be good. Then he has a relapse and starts drinking, which anyone who has been through recovery will tell you is almost inevitable as someone is coming to terms with their alcoholism. Given how utterly predictable a relapse was, she continues to support him in the hopes it will be the last time. But then he relapses again, and she realizes she can't live this life anymore, nor can she ask her child to do it. Would people condemn her for supporting him through his battle with alcohol like they have with the sexting?[/quote]
