The one thing I have had reinforced during this tumultuous time is that too many people in the world just want the quiet life and refuse to stand up for any kind of morality. I have lost count of the number of people who just "don't want to get involved," or "just don't talk about relationships anymore with x" despite me asking how they would feel in my situation. I have deleted these people from my life mainly - as far as I'm concerned they're accomplices in the destruction of my marriage.
Just the same as no-one bothering to ask the teenagers to stop graffiting the wall, or the litterbug to pick up their litter. Everyone is scared of the consequence of standing up for something that's right these days. And marriage has become a throw away commodity, just like a mobile phone that is designed to last only for a year, or a TV that is cheaper to trash and replace than repair.
I, too, have seen this. I find it disgusting. It has contributed to my own growth, however. I confront the people in the park not picking up after their dog, rudeness towards cashiers, but I still tattle on shoplifters. I am finally learning to stand up for myself as well and it all began with exposure of the affair!
