Forgiving a Spouse

Re: Forgiving a Spouse

If there are no kids involved, I ll ask for divorce. Before divorce i ll give him few zor-daar thappars across his face.

If there are kids involved, then no divorce, few zor-daar thappars, and I and kids move out and live separately.

If ALLAH can forgive mistakes then why can't we, just saying.

But that doesn't mean the wife shouldn't pull out some heavy duty chiters for his face.

Re: Forgiving a Spouse

From an Islamic perspective that cannot be classified as 'cheating' so I'm not sure if there is anything to technically 'forgive.' But I would still feel no less cheated/deceived and would react the same way = leave.

I'm willing to give a lot in a spousal relationship and in return, I'm expecting a deep bond. If he can relegate me to the position of an alternate and offer part-time companionship at best and part-time fatherhood at best to children (if there are any) then that is not something I can ever be OK with. Furthermore, I don't think I could respect someone who introduces petty feelings of jealousy, competition, negativity etc. in a relationship which should be based on honor and commitment. But these are slightly secondary to the main reason: I simply don't have the ability to share my partner, whether it's a matter of one day or a chunk of my life-time. It's yukky too.

I'm just human and from the perspective of many people, my limits of how much mistreatment I can take from others happen to be very narrow and shallow.

Re: Forgiving a Spouse

I would never forget such a thing and neither could I forgive it... If God forbid there were kids involved then I'd let them choose thier own fate... if they were old enough to make a decision.... if not then I would let her keep the kids and leave.

What I could never do is kill the spouse ,maybe her lover, but that might be the gut reaction, probably not the right thing but hence why I would never even dream of such a scenario... it's just too damn dangerous to even contemplate.

If I was the wife then again i'd be tempted to kill the scumbag but if kids were involved I might think twice for thier sake...

This is a hypothetical question. I was talking about my hypothetical husband’s hypothetical affair.

Re: Forgiving a Spouse

Such a good idea. Yeah he deseve's it. Forgive but don't forget and then I always hear Once a Cheater Always a Cheater so it's like a gamble.

Re: Forgiving a Spouse

Wait why do you want to kill bill the other wife?

Re: Forgiving a Spouse

Have an affair so she can leave u and u have chance to marry a different girl? So what about getting into an argument knowing that women always bring up u did this and that to me at this and that time what if u bring up the affair again not give him a chance to ever get past it. Say I forgive but secretly don't?

Re: Forgiving a Spouse

I dont know what I would do. Im not sure as Ive never been there. Who knows what would cross my mind.

I do know I would want to take my time to think about my next steps. No sudden moves out of anger.

Re: Forgiving a Spouse

it depends on what kind of spouse he was

if he was kind, caring, loving, respectful towards those that i cared for most then i would forgive and forget

i feel like when affairs as a result of a moment of weakness happen, it's the mistake of both spouses. maybe it's a sexless marriage. but if everything else is good then i see it as something that can be forgiven.

have to be in the situation to give an honest answer
