Infidelity: Love vs respect

Posted by Ria, 31 Aug

infidelity in relationshipsMost people believe that when a person has an affair, they have fallen out of love. Not necessarily so. However, if both of you had signed up for a monogamous relationship, then cheating does mean one thing for sure … the cheating spouse has NO RESPECT for the relationship!

If you ever found yourself in such a position, what would you rather deal with... Knowing a person cheated because they fell out of love or that they are still in love with you but cheated anyways? Would you sacrifice respect for love?

    I've read in countless places that there's a bit of a misconception about people who cheat: only a small percentage of the time was it a completely compulsive move with no strings attached. Many affairs, especially ones from married couples, usually start out emotional and then become physical, and there's usually a lot building up to it in the beginning. In my opinion...I don't really know. If I were married I could see where the hard decision comes in because if I choose to walk away then many things we built would fall apart. Maybe if I loved that person enough I would be able to eventually forgive them on some level...so I don't know. Everyone is different. I don't think all cheating is black and white.

    As a marriage counselor, I have found out that if they cheated, then the love was probably never mutual in the first place so there was no love or respect even before the marriage.
