Adultery is Biblical grounds for divorce. So is abandonment. Of course God would always prefer there to be repentance on the part of the adulterer to allow for forgiveness and healing that would lead to reconciliation, but this isn't always the case as you are seeing. My heart goes out to you, Honey, you've obviously been hurting for a long time. Now it's YOU'RE chance to take back the self respect that this man has no doubt been eroding from you over years of emotional abuse. I don't know if you have children or not, but if you do, they will eventually see a happier, more vibrant, more BEAUTIFUL mother, because she will be away from someone who is disrespecting her on a daily basis. God bless you, sweetheart!

first of all wat was u thinking the other 4 times? oh just give him another chance?
some say 3`s a charm , but not in this case!!
u shouldnt put up with this and once hes cheated on u wat makes u think that he wont do it again?
once a cheater always a cheater!!
u should have not gave him like 4 more chances
i say divorce him!! he shuldnt be cheating on u like that, that shows that hes not commited to having a real relationship
hes totally UNFAITHFUL! just liek that song by rihanna but in a guy version
if a guy is not treating u right u dont stay with him and get abused in any way being it verbally or physically etc,,,
so the bible would allow you to divorce him

Adultery is a sin, and your husband has committed it 5 times. Even though God hates divorce according to scripture, he is also a loving and compassionate God and I'm sure he will understand if you divorced your husband.
Cheers!

Yes. There is specific scripture in the Bible about this. I cannot remember the exact chapter and verse, but look it up in the index in the back (maybe look up divorce or adultery). According to the Bible, adultery is the only excusable reason for divorce. I'm so sorry for what you're going through. I'll keep you in my prayers.

In most religions cheating is wrong. Is it OK to divorce though.
Do you love him? Can you leave the relationship without hate? Are you in physical or mental harm?
If you still love him you need to find out why and resolve those issues before you leave.
If you hate him you also need to find out why and resolve those issues before you leave.
If there is no love there is no marriage. If you leave without malaise there is no sin.
If you are being harmed in any way he has broken the oath of marriage and can be left.
Good luck.

Good god woman! Grow a backbone and dump the womanizer. How can you love when it's obvious you can't trust?
Is god okay with it? Would god be okay with you continuing to be in a loveless relationship where you are obviously not honored and respected? Would god respect you under these circumstances?

50% of Americans are divorced and live happy lives. God only wants you to be happy. That man will go to hell for all of the adultry. He broke a commandment...that means that you can divorce him...I think God will forgive you.

Tough one.
God does allow divorce out of the coldness of peoples hearts. I think as long as you try to sort things out first and you feel it's right with God and there is no way the situation can be fixed - I think it is okay. But honestly try to fix the problem - don't just "walk out."

Yes I would say He is. A writ of divorce is not against the Bible. If your husband is like you say, I would say do it. God knows how you have or have not tried to make things work and knows your heart.
