Perhaps even yet the Lord God of Heaven’s Armies will have mercy on the remnant of his people. -Amos 5:15, NLT I am a firm believer that injustice must first be acknowledged before we can heal from it. This step is often skipped in … Continue reading "Skipping over the injustice part"
“I never intended to hurt you,” says Cheater. Did you get this line (or a version of it) from your Cheater? These disordered freaks actually think this makes things better. They say this as a way to get a “pass” of sorts for their nasty, wicked behavior. They are–again–protecting themselves at the cost of caring … Continue reading "Cheater-Speak: “I never intended to hurt you.”"
Ever have your Cheater offer to end the affair on their own? I mean that they offer to tell the Affair Partner privately–without you–that it is over. That offer is not worth much. You are taking the word of a liar who has demonstrated a willingness and ability to carry on a double-life. “Receipts” are … Continue reading "Gonna end it on own, really?!"
But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God. -John 3:21, NIV Graphic pictures of compromising behavior seems to be almost needed to convince some pastors and Christians that a spouse is violating their … Continue reading "HUNDREDS of texts is NOT innocent!"
Faithful Spouse: Who is he then? Cheater: A friend. Can’t I have friends? This is a common cheater ploy. They attempt to minimize the nature of their relationship with the affair partner.

When does it cross the line?"
When the Lord began to speak by Hosea, the Lord said to Hosea: “Go, take yourself a wife of harlotry And children of harlotry, For the land has committed great harlotry By departing from the Lord.” – Hosea 1:2, NKJV What strikes me as in the last post is how biblically educated men can miss how this was a very special call upon … Continue reading "Hosea Exception, NOT Rule!"
He went on: “What comes out of a person is what defiles them. For it is from within, out of a person’s heart, that evil thoughts come—sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery…. -Mark 7:20-22a, NIV Cheating does not “just happen.” Even those cheating events that happen with alcohol involved are evidence of what is already in the … Continue reading "Decisions made to cheat"
What It Means When Your Husband Lies To You
“I won’t judge. But by the grace of God, there go I, too!” says Cheater apologist. This sounds so good and high minded. The person saying such things comes across as a super Christian.

They are treating … Continue reading "“But for the grace of God, there go I, too!” Hogwash"
