31"It has been said, 'Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.'[f] 32But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, causes her to become an adulteress, and anyone who marries the divorced woman commits adultery.

- Matthew 5: 31-32

I think that adultery in this case means obsessive and numerous cheating. If you find that your husband committed adultery but has repented against it, then you should always forgive. Divorce shouldn't be an excuse to solve or run away from problems. A marriage should always be reconciled before any other action is done. People make mistakes.

To forgive? Perhaps, it works for those who believe in God (no offence to Christianity). How about those who don't belive in religion? At least, it doesn't work for me. I can't forgive my girl if she commits such a 'mistake'. Yes, people all make some mistakes and we should learn to forgive. But something are unforgivable.

So is it a worse offence for a woman to commit adultery than a man?
Is it harder for a man to forgive than a woman?
I have heard that a man can sleep with anyone but a woman must have some connection? Is this true?

Dodger, You have been talking with my ex, obviously, LOL.

I am not a woman, but answer: No.

I think a man that is a real man of integrity and trust worthy, is loyal to his one wife,
However, the wife must learn to be the delightful and pleasurable person to come home to, every day.
Perhaps you as a man know it, some times, as the marriage goes south; I used to have pleasure discovering the longest farther way home.

It doesn’t matter whether you are a man or a woman. If you do not want to get cheated on, then you won’t do it to others either, and worse, even try to justify it.


Adept Kung asked: "Is there any one word that could guide a person throughout life?"
The Master replied: "How about 'shu': never impose on others what you would not choose for yourself?"

No matter men or women, they are unforgivable if they commit adultery. Both parties should be loyal to their marriage. If you require your wife or husband to be loyal to not do any damage to your marriage. First, you should be strict with yourself, being loyal to your wife or husband.

It is equally unacceptable for men or women to commit adultery, or equally acceptable, depending on your attitude. What is not acceptable is different rules for men and women.... and that does seem to be a problem in many societies.

To me adultery is very forgiveable if it is not persistent. If my wife committed adultery I have not actually been hurt - my pride might be hurt and my feelings of possession and rights might be offended, and my wife might be behaving negatively towards me in other ways, but the actual adultery does not directly harm me. We are all human and we all make mistakes. In a civilised society we should learn to forgive (as much as possible). Although I am not a Christian, I support the Christian idea of forgiving and of 'turning the other cheek'. (Which means NOT taking revenge).

What I find least forgivable is the use of prostitutes by married persons.

Paul, I can't agree with you. Adultary is unforgivable and it is sure to hurt others. Don't forget you swear in front of God that you will love him/her forever. Love means that you shouldn't do anything harmful to him/her. Love means loyalty. BTW, finding prostutues is definitely unforgivable.
