Re: Infidelity
With all due respect, where does accountability fit into your reasoning?
When you're married, you become responsible to your mate for the commitments you've made. So when a person chooses to have an affair, they have made a conscious and intentional decision to betray their partner's trust and break their marriage vows.
Your wife compromised her standards and got her emotional and/or sexual needs met from someone other than you – and she, and she alone, is accountable for her actions. No excuses.
Nevertheless, I will say this. While you're not responsible for your wife's affair, or even her happiness, you both bear equal responsibility for the state of your marriage before the affair.
