Adultery












I think “each to their own” especially on the idea of adultery. Sometimes it’s worse than others. I think if someone is married with children and have a life and family, and a partner cheats, then I think that that is terrible, as its not only one person who will be getting hurt, it will destroy an entire family and destroys childrens lives.When reading the articles it opened my eyes about the concept of adultry. They all say that there are always two sides to every story, but in the case of an affair, there are three, and when you read all the points of view, it makes it easier to sympathize and form an opinion on the matter. This article has given four sides on the idea of the topic ‘an affair‘; the wife- the victim, the husband-betraying, the mistress-the cause and a man who will not leave his wife or have an affair - the door mat. They each give their opinions and emotions about the affair, and the events surrounding it. However, adultry has been accepted for hundreds of years, for example Henry 8th with his many wives and mistresses, famously known “Bowlin Sisters" Religion has banished the acceptance of betrayal, especially in Christianity and Islam, but the fact that it still occurs is relevant.



The worse part on the idea of adultry is betrayl. I think that if someone is not happy, then they should try resolving their problems in the marriage, but if they cannot they simply should separate and not lie or deceive, however, that is easier said than done. I do not think that most people cheat because they want to hurt their partner, I think it’s a simple fact that they can. Take Ashley Cole for example: he cheated on his wife but still, she took him back so therefore , adultry is not an issue for some, where as for many strong people, it is the end of the marriage and the final source of closure.
