“I cheated as a cry for help,” says Cheater.
“This will just make us better in the end, and you’ll thank me in the end,” says Cheater.
A cheater claiming that the cheating will make the marriage better is a very delusion character, indeed!
The sad thing is some pastors and therapists will agree with the delusional cheater or even feed us this idea. It is sick and not in touch with reality.
You do not strengthen a relationship by obliterating its foundation–namely, trust.
A building isn’t stronger or better after the dynamite has blasted away its foundation. In fact, anything built on that obliterated foundation is doom to collapse. That is the practical reality of what happens to a marriage ravaged by adultery or infidelity in general.
The marriage’s foundation of trust is totally obliterated when a spouse cheats. Trust is totally destroyed by this behavior.
Cheating never makes a marriage better. It destroys. Only a person who is committed to living lies and in denial will support this idea.
