Every relationship requires trust to grow and be sustained. For trust to be established, partners involved must be loyal to each other, where such is lacking the relationship is bound to hit the rock. In this post, the relationship herein referred to is limited to marriage alone.
Infidelity - What is your view on infidelity? What would you consider infidelity? Would you stay with someone who has been unfaithful to you? Why?
Infidelity is the breach of trust or commitment in marriage, romantic or sexual relationship. A situation whereby one of the partners becomes unfaithful to the other in keeping the vows they both made to each other from the beginning of the relationship, is what I perceive to be infidelity.
Infidelity could be described in different ways in a committed relationship. When two partners are in a committed relationship it means they are responsible for each other both emotionally, sexually and financially.
Both partners are bound to communicate to each other concerning their needs. When it is not so it is questionable. When one partner fails to reach out to the other partner but relates to a third party for their emotional, sexual or financial need, I consider this as infidelity.
There are different scenarios that may lead to infertility, some may be a one time affair as a result of some mistake whether avoidable or unavoidable, as no one is above that. If this is the case I may consider to forgive and stay, if I truly love the person.
But the question is; “someone who has been unfaithful”. Which connotes it's part of the person. It's a continuous act which has been going on in the past and still continues in present time. A habitual unfaithful partner is usually an unrepentant person. One who enjoys the act and expects the other partner to live with it. As such, I can't stay with such a person.
The reason is simple: It's pointless wasting time with someone who isn't committed to the love we share, who doesn't value me. Most importantly, I value my worth and peace of mind and can't afford to trade it for anyone or anything. So, to save myself some mental, emotional and/or psychological stress it's better I honorably walk away in peace and in a piece.
Infidelity is a sign of irresponsibility and breach of trust. A partner who is involved in such an act does not value the other partner or the relationship. Staying with an unfaithful partner is like one gradually digging one's early grave because aside from the emotional trauma, one is likely to also contract STI( Sexually Transmitted Infection). Hence, calling it a quit is the best decision.
