[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cant believe how liberal everyone is. What happened to the vow of marriage being sacred and the trust that goes along with that? Some of you are so cavalier about this, this is major its CHEATING ON HER HUSBAND!!

Last I checked that is pretty serious stuff.[/quote]

I'm the PP who advised OP to find some humility.  I don't think any of us are condoning cheating or taking it lightly.  I, for one, think faithfulness to one's spouse is sacred, and that's what guides [i]my[/i] choice to be faithful to my husband.  I also am someone whose husband was unfaithful.  I forgave him, but it was hard and it took YEARS.

But I also believe in fidelity to friends.  A good friend, who knows you, accepts you, stands by you is a gift.

For the record, I've been in OP's situation.  Very close friends with a couple and one of them confided to me that they were cheating.  Did it make me really sad?  Of course.  Did I worry for her husband (with whom I was friends first)?  Of course.  Did I think less of my friend?  Not really, because I know she has a lot of flaws!  It didn't change how much I love her or value her place in my life.

Life is complicated.[/quote]
