Probably less than half of it

“Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’”

-Matthew 7:23, NIV

One of the hardest things about moving on is accepting that you will probably know less than half of what actually happened.

This gap of information–whatever the percentage–can keep faithful spouses stuck. Please do not let it do that to you.

Whether they cheated with one or twenty other partners, the fact is that they broke the marriage covenant. You are free to divorce and move forward minus one adulterous abuser (see Mt. 19:9).

The reality is Cheaters often have cultivated a double life. This double life is dark and probably deep. And God may be protecting you by not allowing you to plumb that life’s complete depths.

In fact, you might have gotten surprise from your Cheater when you confronted them. You see, they likely had gotten away with cheating for some time without your notice. They arrogantly thought this would always be the case.

You don’t have to have all the gory details to know this person is harmful for you, and you need to get away from them. And… it is okay to grieve not knowing as well.
