My wife would be very forgiving and loving and understanding, in accordance with 1 Cor 13, Matthew 18:22, etc., for any of the three. ... Um. ... I think.

I am NOT a woman, however, FWIT my observation has been that most men (especially saved men) who have an affair, have one with someone less attractive than their wife.
I hadn't really noticed with others. Definitely the character of the "other" woman is lacking if not looks. I wouldn't have called my ex saved when he had the affair.. first came the backsliding, partying..then the woman with the lifestyle.
However, I will always feel for those going through adultery/divorce... that pain of rejection is horrible. You really do turn it all inward and pick yourself apart...I remember thinking of being married for 14 years and you get comfortable and secure with your mate.. I know that I lost 25lbs the first month, and did a total make over.. crazy things that fill your head. I assume it is only normal though and every woman who goes through it experiences the same feelings.
Interesting how scandal hits politicians and the ministry in the same fashion. In light of the latest snafu in the North East among Governors, in the past also affecting the ministery, etc., I have a question.
Ladies, what is worse...
...to discover that your husband has been involved in a long affair with one person?
...to discover that your husband has been involved with one or more prostitutes spending thousands of dollars, etc.
...to discover that your husband is gay and the fact that he has a steady...um...guy?
I know these are all bad from a man's perspective and but for the Grace of God goeth lots and lots more of us...
Which one is the worst or rank them and WHY? Just curious...
All of these have the same potential consequence if one is in ministry or a public office. The wife loses her husband and means of viable support in one full swoop.
She who likely gave up everything else to help him build his church or get to that political office. All to be swept into the dust....
There needs to be insurance against cheating husbands for wives whose livelihood bites the dust when their husbands do.

I'm not sure which one would be worse, but for me, on #2 and 3 there's a big ICK factor!
I've always thought it would be easier to forgive if it were something casual or unplanned as opposed to a longterm affair, but I don't know. I hope I never have to find out.

What good is ALIMONY if one's ex-husband no longer has a church or political office? Especially if this was a lifetime endeaver?
I would think that losing the position of pastor's wife or governor's wife would pale in comparison to other concerns. And if she was just in a supportive position anyway, then she would be free to pursue her own interests.
If politics are the dream, then what's to stop her from being in the political arena?
As for being a pastor's wife, well, that may be over and done with, but there are many places to apply that experience in a different way.
I don't see how it's the End.
...or, do you mean as the ex-husband's source of income?
