OK, does anyone think Brad & Angelina will grow old together? Probably not, I think he's her 3rd husband or something? But Jenifer I'm thinking is more like an LBS, more faithful, loyal, dependable. I'm more into faithful, loyal, dependable people but I guess that's just me? Obviously a lot of WAS are not!!! Karen
I agree with you that adultery and divorce are awful, because they are inherently wrong. In most cases, the results are disastrous. However, I don't think it's the negative results that make it a bad choice, it's the moral case that make it wrong. Remember in DB they never say adultery is wrong, they just tell you to make yourself the better option.
However, in a small number of cases the WAS and the OP walk off into the sunset and the LBS can't seem to make themselves appear to be the "better" or "more attractive" option.
I think Brad and Angelina will make it to old age together. I still think it's wrong and ugly. But from a purely "human" individual hapiness index, Brad is happier with Angelina than with Jennifer.
John Mcain's current wife is his affair partner that he left his former wife for. They've been married for a long time.
If 65%-75% of marriages with affair partners fail, then 25-35% succeed.
The article I was referring to takes into account that sometimes, sin and the wrong choices, seem to bring us greater joy than obedience and faithfulness.
