Testimonies: Is there life after being cheated on

by Peggy Molloy

Created on: July 16, 2007   Last Updated: January 02, 2011

Infidelity murders marriage. Sure there's life, and abundant life afterwards...after the divorce court fees, the heartbreak of the children, the damage and hurt that can take years to heal, the inability to trust a partner again,...sure, go ahead, cheat!
It will be trivialized on television and in the movies, and your head can bounce back and forth to the new and "more vulgar than ever" music we hear. I believe this is called brainwashing but call it freedom if you like...

Actually, statistics show that money problems are the number one cause for divorce.
How we handle our money (power) and our sexuality (power) are probably related, I just don't have the clinical vernacular to do it.

Is is good or bad that women now behave as violently and aggressively as men? No longer the long-suffering, devoted wives, women can now go to Las Vegas for stud service as easily as men can go for their pleasurable pastimes.

Maybe it's a gene or something, that makes everybody different. I had a co-worker who thought maybe everyone who can be sexually loyal should be one one side of the country, while everyone who thinks monogamy is boring, why have quality and when you can have quantity, or they aren't happy unless they can break up someone else's relationship,...can move over to the other side of the country and stop getting these two basic types of people mixed up. Nothing is more expensive, emotionally or financially than a divorce, so my only question is, why wreck everyone else's life?
