But yes, love should take precedence over pride. But that shouldn't be a license for one to forsake those wedding vows he or she took. I know that I would have a hard time forgiving my wife if she were cheating; so why she she have an easy time forgiving me? This is hypothetical, of course- I'm already divorced. But it wasn't because of infidelity on either of our parts. |
