Two wrongs do not make a right.
-Moms around the world
No one ever deserves the adulterous betrayal and discard.
Another way of saying this is to say that NOTHING justifies committing sins against another. I do not read the Bible ever giving us permission to sin.
Adultery is sin.
Discarding a faithful spouse after cheating on them is sin.
A conversation about what you did to “deserve” being sinned against is a study in stupidity, in my opinion. And I do not mean your stupidity but the stupidity of Christian leaders making such an inquisition.
I wonder:
What is it in their minds you must do to deserve the adulterous discard?
You nagged him to clean up his dirty clothes one too many times. Does that equal a free pass for an adulterous discard?
How long do you have to go without sex or how infrequent does the marital sex have to be to earn the faithful spouse this “prize?”
At what weight on the scale does that mean your spouse gets to discard you in an adulterous flurry?
How infrequent must the deep, emotional conversations need to be for a wife to get her own “adulterous discard” free pass?
I would like to know.
The reason being is how pastors and other Christian leaders like to ask about these matters after the adultery and discard. They are suggesting by such inquiry that the answers matter.
They do not.
At least, they do not as far as condemning the adulterous discard by the cheating partner is concerned.
I wished more pastors and Christian leaders understood this. Honestly, you do not need to know the conditions of the marriage to condemn the awful sins of an adulterous discard.
Wrong is wrong.
Anything else is just a lie. Never forget that!
