For most instances, the "walk a mile in their shoes" or "people are human, they make mistakes" should be used for rare instances, things that don't happen often. So many affairs happen for bullcrap reasons, those terms don't even apply anymore. An affair isn't just a "mistake", it's a situation created by people with BRAINS in their head to know what they're doing is wrong.
Those thoughts may seem harsh, but it's amazing what goes on in this country that doesn't have an real or serious consequences anymore! One of my bosses is going through a divorce - husband cheated on her with her (EX) best friend. There is proof, the husband and ex bf admitted it, etc. Would you believe adultery no longer matters to a judge in a divorce case? I know it USED to matter, that's what blows my mind. |
It has been a long time since most states required grounds for gramting a divorce. IMHO, I think that if people want a divorce, they should get one.
Are you saying that you want us to return to the days where one party must prove that they have been wronged in a public forum before a divorce can be granted?
No one, certainly not the court, is saying that infidelity is okay in your friend's case. Only that it probably doesn't help anyone involved to drag this type of dirty laundry into a public forum.
