I'm The Other Woman & I need your advice!

[nighthawk]

I can think of no excuse, angle, or side, anyone could take and make cheating ok, justifiable nor forgivable!

A man was married to a woman who was diagnosed as severely mentally ill after their marriage. Wife spent years in and out of (mostly in) mental hospitals. For religious and moral reasons husband did not wish to divorce his wife because she tried her best to be a good wife (when she could) and he truly cared about her. But he did sometimes cheat on her when she was committed for long periods of time.

I cannot judge this. I won't say it was right - but I don't believe it would have been more moral to divorce her, or to go most of his adult life without sex either.

Am I supposed to feel like he's a better person for not divorcing her, he just cheated? Give me a break, his morals are so good it kept him from divorcing her, so, it's ok if he cheats? No way! He cheated! That's like asking me if it's ok to beat your wife as long as you don't kill her!
