Would You Stay In The Relationship ?

[Scooter's Mom]

I cannot say how I would react. I hope I never have to find out.

But I do not judge either of them in this situation -- I just cannot as I do not know what has gone on between them. It seems such a private matter. My heart breaks for those involved.

Plus I read somewhere once -- "judge not lest you be judged".

I have firsthand knowledge of this type of situation. My theory then and my theory now is...

There was a reason you fell in love to begin with. With a little bit (or a lot) of work, you can find that reason again. It is altogether too easy to find those reasons with someone else - because it is easier than trying to fix a marriage (or a relationship) that is broken. Although both parties have to be amenable to fixing what is broken... one person can't do all the work.

That's just my theory. It doesn't apply to everyone. I just hold myself to that standard. When I married the 2nd time it was for life. Flaws and all. And there have been some doozy's.
