Interesting CK... It will be even MORE interesting to hear from OIN, as he is a Police Officer and works in law enforcement as well...
Note : The argument that infidelity is an addiction isn't some wild claim. There have been scientific tests done on the brain to compare the brain chemistry of those having an affair with drug addicts, alcoholics etc... The patterns were the same in both samples...
I hear you... And yes I am in no way justifying or excusing the behaviour... I DO think reparations are in order... The reconcilliation process is part of that repair effort... Consider it public service...
My concern is more for the interloping third party.. particularly if they are single... Attacking a marriage that is in trouble is pretty much the same as pouring gasoline on a house fire... I would be the first one in line to lobby for a criminal law against violating a marriage like that...
But I am a bit more understanding when it comes to the wayward spouse.. most of my condemnation goes to the interloper that took advantage of someone at a troubled time.
Consider it the drug addict vs the drug pusher... I am more after the pusher than the addict.
I can forgive the addict, but I DO think the pusher belongs behind bars.
