If one of the parties is unwilling to work it out or doesn't want to give up "the other person", then I believe that other party is free to divorce.
Abuse - - 'nuff said.

Amen. Sometimes a husband and wife can navigate through an adultery. People are human and mistakes are made. A lot of times both had a part to play in an adultery situation. It can be ended and forgiven.
I'd also like to state that I believe that actual adultery is the grounds for divorce. Not adultery of the heart. Adultery of the heart is a lust that is present but technically unfulfilled. For example, if one finds that their spouse has been reading romance novels or looking at adult material I don't think it's grounds for divorce. Just my opinion.
Abuse... I believe it can be ended and forgiven but if perpetuated I'd advise the abused party to leave.
