I think she thinks you sound sexist because you seem unwilling to discuss cheating happens with both wives and husbands.
I've stayed out of this thread jes watchin the silly bickerin goin back an forth, I really don't see why some of the women folk are bent at the fact that men an women cheat an why it's bein hammered home so much, ok I understand that, both sexes cheat... but ummmm.... what's that got to do wit this particular thread bout cuckolds? Perhaps some direction in this thread to the OP topic is in order an enough of the silly fussin an what not.
To the OP, I git it, I understand what your sayin an I understand this particular thread is bout men who stay wit their wives after havin been cheated on, I don't find it sexiest... infact half the time I don't know what the word means but anyways. I've not been cheated on by my wife but have had it done wit girl friends an what not, some I stayed wit some I didn't, does it make a man any less of a man to stay wit a wife who cheated on em? No an I personnaly think it takes more of a man to stay wit a wife that cheated then to bail out cause the waters got rough, each to his own though.
The reason we are given the choice to divorce is because God said, we are a stiff necked people.
[BIBLE]Matthew 19:8[/BIBLE]
We demand it an God in His mercy gives it to us, but it's not sumthin He wants, it's not His wish that any marriage should break up because one fails. We are married to God in a sense right now, an boy howdy I'm glad He doesn't divorce us anytime we totally tank it. It's through His forgiveness that gives us the ability to forgive a spouse, sure trust is broken feelins are hurt the world goes to hell in a hand basket when sumthin like this happens, an if you maintain that you by yoursef could not er would not forgive a spouse for such a thin that's your buisness but bare in mind, if you don't forgive, neither will God. An if you hold onto such feelins of hurt etc were it to happen to you, then you'd not only hurt yoursef but all those round you as well. That's why we're sposed to let go of these sorta thins an give em to God.
[BIBLE]Matthew 6:14-15[/BIBLE]
Through all the hollarin goin on in here I really don't know what your lookin for as responses I've gotten lost through em all, but I think if'n I recall you said sumthin to the effect, how does one do it? How does a man stay wit a wife that has cheated. To me it's simple, he loves er enough to work through the difficulties, he relies on God to heal his hurt an to give em the ability to forgive his spouse. Is it his choice to bail out? Sure... but like I said it's not God's will for any marriage to end in divorce.
