Honest thoughtful answers only please (from men and women)... re: cheating, marriage and jehovahs witnesses?
Sorry, one important thing I left out when I posted this before, and may effect the answers given... these people are Jehovah's Witnesses...
If you suspected your husband of cheating, and are highly religious, and finally pressured him to admit he had an affair and he did a few days ago (what would you do)... he tells you about three women going back several years, the third he is still seeing for over a year. You both have one child together and have been married 16 years. Neither one of you have been getting along for a long time, and seem to not have much in common. The wife still loves the husband.... would you stay, what do you think most people would do? (a good friend of mine is dealig with this, and I don't know what to tell her...)
Thank you for responding... I'm just really struggling, and really don't know what to tell her. I care about them both.

For Jehovah Witnesses adultery is the only grounds for divorce. If the cheating has occurred three times and it is still on going then this person is not sorry for his actions and nether is he concerned with Jehovah's laws on marriage and fidelity. He's not going to stop cheating so I would advise the wife to get a divorce and move forward with her life. Jehovah will provide for her.

I'd still stick with My previous answer.
They both need to get down to the WHY of it and see if that WHY is solvable. If they haven't been getting along with each other, Why not, whats the problem.
As far as the Witness thing is concerned, are the women he's been seeing ALSO Witness's. Perhaps its something to do with the passion they bring him.
The one good part is that at least the problem is out in the open where they can deal with it. I'd guess that the last thing on his mind would be leaving her. All you can do at this point is be a good friend and let her talk and rant and rave and have some sort of outlet while she's trying to wrap her mind around the whole situation.
If I had more information on their actual day to day relationships, it would be a lot of help.

All you can really do for your friend is be there for her and be supportive. She will have to make her own decision on what is in her heart. Just be a good friend to her and listen when she talks. Avoid making comments about the husband, that could come back on you if she stays. Maybe the best recommendation you can give her is to seek counseling from a professional for either herself or if he will go with her for both of them. I am sure she is going through a lot, and will need a good friend like you. Best wishes.

Sounds like the marriage is over to me. That's what happens when sex is only for making babies. Sex is also to bring people closer to each other and God. Put out or get out.

Look religion has nothing to do with this He a damn cheater!!!!!!! Stop with the excuses...He didn't care about his religious beliefs when he was cheating Did he ???? No so hes a cheater and always will be

the religion part makes no difference ---it didn't keep him from cheating did it?
no, I wouldn't stay - I'd go get tested for STD's/AIDS and file for divorce...just like I did with my ex who lied and cheated several times --- you can love someone but you don't have to put up with their cheating --- in time your heart will mend and then you can move on

Sounds like he has already emotionally checked out. If he won't see marriage counseling then they should just get divorced.
