out of respect

[K4D]

Well, I will say that everyone deserves a second chance, and a 3rd chance and a 4th chance, etc. The reason I say that is because of what you yourself pointed out. The oath we took. For better or for worse, in sickness and in health, til death do us part.

I'd say that grants extra chances if you agreed to take that oath. Now that doesn't mean that separation can't play into the picture until someone cleans up their act. But if you married for life, which I think is the only kind of marriage there is, then yes, everyone deserves second chances as none of us are perfect. Most of the time, we are where we are because of our own mistakes. I know I am. But I also know my W made mistakes. And I have forgiven her and I want to be forgiven also and given another chance.

Do I think that I am owed it? Yes, because of the oath we took. Just like she is owed it and I have given it and will always continue to give it. On top of that I have worked to make big changes. And I do think that should always be taken into account after you have taken the oath for life. But I am not in charge of this world, nor would I want that responsibility. I'd rather God handle that one.

Thats just my 2 cents,
