When I read the post, I thought to myself that he should just leave his wife as this is the kind of betrayal that’s up there with infidelity cuz your spouse’s trust is not only broken but came with public humiliation. But kids always complicate the situation. To persevere or divorce is a question only your friend can answer. He has to ask himself if he can ever respect and trust his wife again let alone love her. And if he thinks there’s hope, then he needs to set boundaries and she’ll have to work hard to win his trust again and she’ll have to change herself.

I usually agree with your advice RV, but not this! How can you advocate divorce after one incident - seriously, it’s not a game here! She is not good at filling in forms, and is not responsible. She phoned the police because of a domestic argument which resulted in husband getting arrested. Those are NOT reasons to get divorced!

1. She can learn responsibility

2. She can learn to fill in forms

3. She needs to learn how to handle arguments, and perhaps more importantly, the fact that her izzat lies with her husband, and vice versa.

I’m not justifying her reactions in any way; she was wrong to involve the police and should have dealt with it differently. But to say she should get divorced after one argument is ridiculous!
