I think love requires certain indulgence, but maybe Elton John can sing "sorry seems to be the hardest word" because he doesn't know that forgiveness is harder. But it's important ti know how to behave in this situation. Could you give some opinions?

I dont feel in this case it is easy to forgive...We mustn't do anything on which we have to repent later... Thats it...

Here is a very good excerpt from the book of Kuya Rene (a renowned psychic in the Philippines - www.renemariano.net Phil. tel. no. #632-8436346) on "Spiritual Reality" "When the one you love has sinned against you, be strong enough to accept his transgression. You may say this is easy to say than to do, but I tell you, anyone who wants to become a master of his/her destiny has to pass the difficult road. Do not forget, you are a sinner too. Strive hard to have an unonditional love for your partner instead of a conditional need and when you have done this, automatically, you will forgive and you will easily forget. However, if the sinning against you were persistent, forgive your partner and move away from that person. Between your emotional survival and your dear one, yours should be above that person."

It's a good idea. I see you're the most moderate here, and this behavior is really smart. Yes, the error is big, but the longtime happiness is bigger.

I cannot really imagine my husband being unfaithful to me but then again all wives do have that kind of illusion that their husbands would never look at another woman. If my husband stated dating another woman, things will really get very very rough. I would probably throw him out of the house. It will take a lot of time for me to forgive him that is for sure. Anyway, I hope and pry that he will not stray so I don't have to go through all the trouble of throwing him out. LOL

It's a tough situation and If I were in this kind of thing I think I will get mad and angry with my husband. It's true that it's really hard to forgive specially me I just don't forgive someone who had done some mistakes to me. I am the type of person that will return the things you did to me. For instance if I caught my husband dating another woman then I will do the same. In our situation right now he keeps on smoking and I don't tolerate that kind of act and I also keeps on telling him to stop it but he stubbornly doing that so to make him stop I try to smoke also and just like me he doesn't like me to smoke. And you know what it's working. He is not smoking these past few days because he doesn't like me to have a lung cancer. haha

If she sees for the first time she should wait till her nubby comes back home and ask who the lady was and several whats. Ir her husband explained it in the most positive way that there was nothing like as she was thinking, things should settle there itself and if there are black clouds on his face as the wife charges and if the wife does not lack anything of a woman she too should take similar stance. Or else I do not think any point why women suffer as men can go for different taste.

It's normal view, ur right. But I talk about a relation after marriage and there're many things should be counted on, such as finance, family, children. Thks for your opinion.

I would confront him then I would go from there. I doubt he could give me a good reason for doing this but I would still let him explain. Then I would put in my two cents. If he is cheating then I would have some very hard choices to make seeing how trust would be broken. It would be next to impossible to get past.

Well sometimes people go out just occasionally for some official work but if this is a regular practise of husband then ask him clearly. Secondly a man looks for pleasure outside when he is not receiving it at home. Just check yourself that you are providing enough happiness to your husband or not and if sure then definately confront the husband.

First she should confront the husband. But she should be well assured that the guy is really going out with other woman. Now see what he has to tell.

well ive been here before. i found out through a friend. but when i got home i comfronted her with it. but belive it or not we're still together i would confront him with it, he has to choice you or her. and if he choice you and then he need to reeran the truth from you. then i would both need to go to marriage concealing (spelled it wrong). but if he wants to be with you it take time for work on trust issue. he need to see it. but if he wants her, then cry your tears, and move on i know its hard to do. but he's not worth to fight for if he wants the other woman

i think the wife should go ask the husband first and ask her who the woman is but obviously i think the husband will be telling alibis and it's absolutely impossible for anyone to admit that he is cheating on the other. so i think if that plan doesn't work, i really think the "other woman" should be confronted or ask an investigator to go check on the husband.

I would definitely confront him immediately. If you think it is innocent then we can all go on with our lives. But if there is something more there then the relationship has to end. Once there is infidelity I think it gets easier to repeat.

It's hard to pretend you are okay after you saw it.But you must calm down and don't let the emotion take control.Speak heart to heart and listen his explanation.If there is nothing between them,just try to forget this case and tell him not to do that again.But,if there is a special relationship between them,ask him to choose.If he choose you,forgive him even it is hard to do and tell him stay away from her and not to do that again with others..
