Infidelity

  1. Candace,
    It sounds like you have a great moral compass. It is so sad that your friends think it is okay to have affairs with married men. The two people involved in an affair are only interested in themselves and not the damage they are causing to their friends and families. I am not sure that I could remain friends with someone like that.

    I am glad you have such a great marriage. My husband and I are celebrating our ten-year anniversary this year and are still doing good.

    Stay strong in your beliefs. Talk to you later.
    -Sarah

  2. Candace,
    I was very impressed with your video. I am glad that you are willing to share your thoughts and feelings about this topic.

    I am 25 years old and have been married to a wonderful man for 3 years now. It is hard for me to see so many people who have been married anywhere from 1 year to 25 years get a divorce due to an affair. I can't wrap my head around what would make someone do that. I could not live with myself if I betrayed that trust with my husband and I am sure he feels the same way.

    I remember telling him, before we got married, that cheating was the absolute worst thing he could do to me and I would never be able to get past that. My father cheated on my mother many years ago which broke up their marraige. This had a mojor impact on my life because I fould myself not able to trust anyone else much less a man. It took me until the age of 22 to be able to trust again. That is one of the reasons I married my husband, he was able to gain my trust.

    Anyway, enough of that. I just want to say great job on the post. I admire you stepping out like that and letting your feelings be know. Good luck this semester. I can't wait to see what else you have to blog about.

  3. Hi Candace - I am sure that you will touch a nerve with many people on this topic. I myself am divorced after 18 years, and I know many, many people who have been in this situation. You have no idea the effect that divorce has on you and the people around you until you have been through it. It takes its toll not just on everyone that is involved with the couple - friends and family. If people really understood that, they may think twice about making bad decisions. I admire your courage to speak out about this.
