Why You Should Forgive Your Unfaithful Parent
Your friends won’t be perfect
It’s easy to hold onto militant and unforgiving policies on infidelity when you’re young and haven’t yet been, say, married for 15 years. But you’ll quickly find that life makes it very hard to remain so militant. You’ll have a best friend who sleeps with a married man because she claims she loves him. Are you cutting out that best friend? Since you, apparently, cut out cheaters. One of your siblings may have an affair. Will you stop speaking to her? You’ll see: staying mad at every single person who has a slight transgression just isn’t sustainable.
