Madame On the Street: Is Cheating Grounds for Immediate Divorce?

October 24th, 2011 - By Veronica Wells

In most marriage vows couples pledge to be together until death. But situations and circumstances can change all of that. First on the list of obstsacles is infidelity. If you found out your spouse had cheated would that be the end of your union, no discussion? Or would you try to work it out? We asked this question to a few people on the streets of New York. See what they had to say.

    Most of the people on this video who said, absolutely yes, or absolutely no, appear to be very young.  When I was young, I would have left the marriage in a minute.  I know this, because I did.  As I’ve gotten older and learned a little more about life, I’ve come to believe that decision has to be made on a case by case basis.  Some people are habitual cheaters and will never be satisfied with one person unless they become physically unable to cheat.  If someone has a history of cheating, then yeah, it’s probably best to let them go.  But if a marriage has been generally satisfying, the person who cheated…a real helpmate in the relationship and had been faithful previously, then it would be worth it to try to work things out, as painful as that might be.

    Infidelity is biblical grounds for immediate divorce, but the quality of the marriage should be evaluated by the couples involved, on a case by case basis.  For example, if a wife or husband found out that their spouse of sixteen years cheated…someone who had always been faithful, loving and a benefit to the marriage and household, then they may want to try to determine why it happened now, and work through it.   Of course, that will only work if the person who cheated permanently ends the extramarital affair, and makes the effort to rebuild trust.  But if the cheater has done so habitually throughout the marriage, or hasn’t really brought much to the marriage table and then cheats, it would be understandable if the betrayed spouse chose to move on without them.
