His wife had already filed for divorce. Their marriage is effectively over, in the legal sense at least. And yes, I believed him. He was telling me the truth.
I would have asked him if he had decided that it was over between he and his wife. If he said yes, then I would have talked to him about making it final and stop betraying vows he had made.
As I mentioned, his wife filed for divorce. He has cut off all contact with the other woman and stopped betraying his vows in that manner.
Let me ask you: Do you think it's good to withold the truth of the gravity of their situations?
So you do think it's a good idea to withold the truth of the gravity of their situations?
People who are cheating on their spouses, or embezzling money, or beating their wives know they're doing wrong. I try to get them to see what they're doing to themselves RIGHT NOW, as human beings.
That usually works.
