Marriage is serious business!
Well, it should be viewed that way, at least. How could one justify cheating on their spouse? What situation could possibly permit such an act as 'excusable?' On the other hand, depending on the situation, is it possible for a third party to find some sense of 'right' by knowingly getting involved with a married person? I'd like to hear some responses. It seems like a vague question now, but I'll go into detail a bit more pending the responses I get. |

adultery may be forgivable, but never justifiable. there is just no such thing as having a legitimate excuse for cheating imo. if you no longer have feelings for your significant other, deal with it or leave. if you have "needs" your significant other can't satisfy, suck it up or leave. if you are infatuated with someone other than your significant other, ignore the temptation or leave.
i'm aware there are many different situations in which one can possibly be placed, but none would justify physical cheating to me. i might forgive my spouse for cheating, just because i'm a forgiving person, but that doesn't necessarily mean i would stay with this person and/or accept that his act is justified or excusable. |

That's a very reasonable response, and I do agree with that 100%. But as stated in the thread, being in a deployed state, then having such a situation rear it's ugly head, moves this into the 'gray area.' |
