Do you think it's right for a married man to divorce his wife for another woman?

Answer 1

I think everyone has the right to happiness in life.

If he is happier now (even in dealing with the ex-wife and all) then it was worth it to him.

We live for a short time on this little planet. Everyone deserves to be happy. If the marriage was blissful, this could not have happened. Obviously it could not have been.

As for the ex-wife, she now knows this man no longer loved her the way he once did, and she is free to find a greater love, too.

It'd be nice if every marriage was a lifetime fairy tale, but that's simply not the case. It would be great if everyone chose the perfect mate for themselves the first time and lived happily ever after...but guess what?

It's simply not so.

If someone leaves for someone else, can you even imagine how strong these feelings must be? To know all the difficulties that inevitably follow such a decision, and then to still want to follow through with it...there must be some very strong forces at work.

I'm very happy with the wife I have, and I'm confident she's happy with me too. But for those who are unhappy or have made a mistake or grown in a different direction than their partner...I only wish that they find the happiness everyone in life deserves.

Answer 2

The problem with leaving one woman for another is that the new relationship starts off in the worst possible way. There will always be a suspicion that the same thing can happen again. Of course you have to wonder how happy the person was in the marriage that he left. People don't usually leave a marriage for no reason. If his marriage had problems then he should have gone to counseling with his wife instead of looking elsewhere for love.
It is actually possible for someone to have crisis and fall into an affair without much thought given to the consequences. The proverbial "mid-life crisis" It can be a case where a spouse holds something inside for long enough and and the right person comes along and acts as a catalyst that bring these emotions out. Then an affair begins and quickly spins out of control.
It's a tragedy when this happens because the marriage explodes and everyone it touches gets hurt.
The answer to your question is that it is not right, it's not fair, and the sad truth is that it happens more then you can possibly imagine. If this is happening to you then find a therapist for yourself as soon as possible. The next sad step will be to get a lawyer.

Answer 3

If the married couple is in love and he breaks off for another woman that would be concidered cheating in a way, but if the second woman has a strronger bond than the married couple than i suppose it would be ok, but only if the married couple would be seperating for problems between themselves already. Otherwise sadly the 2nd woman would have to wait or find another love..sorry♥

Answer 4

It may not be right, but it's very very common. Life cannot always be fair, lines between right and wrong are not always clearly marked. People get married and get divorced regardless of who is waiting in the wings.
If the marriage is over, then it's over. We only live once, no reason to make ourselves and our spouses miserable. Best for both sides to move on with their lives and find a more suitable companion.

Answer 5

No. Because the reason IS the other woman and NOT his wife. That's always a bad reason to separate. The reason for divorce needs to come from withIN the relationship, not outside it.

Answer 6

One would think that the other woman (or other man if the case was reversed) could never fully trust the divorcee. (He/She has already left one marriage. Why wouldn't he/she leave again).

I think I heard a statistic one time. Over 90% of marriages that occur when a man/woman leaves a marriage for someone else end in a divorce for the second marriage.

Answer 7

He should have been out of that relationship before he started the current one. What I want to know is, how in the world will you ever trust a guy who left his wife for another woman?

Answer 8

He would be only damaging himself and others. He isn't ready for marriage if he could do this as well. He would be going down a chain of ex- wives if he continues as well. I think that the only way you should get divorced is if the relationship just can't survive not because you see someone else there. Your dating days are over so get over it. He needs to grow up and take control of his responsibility.

Answer 9

It's good that he got out of the marriage, but it is silly that he jumped right back in. This would suggest that he too has problems. Bad judgment in women, time in starting a marriage from dating, and no telling what else. This is basically like computer concepts, which is crap in, crap out, meaning if you are crazy enough to bring crap into your life, you will get crap out of your life. Had he seriously dated her, and the new woman, he would not be so antsy to get marriage, but really learn who he with before taking that step.

Answer 10

Actually yes. People rant and rave that it isn't right to have affairs, but how many women out there really look at how they treat their husbands?

I was married for 15 years, and my husband was a cheater. In the end, I had to really look at myself and how I was behaving in the marriage. I didn't treat him like he was #1.

I was obsessed with my work, would stay long after quitting time, rarely cooking dinner or cleaning up the house. I treated my boss way better than my husband (minus the sex, of course) and in the end, my husband strayed.

Hindsight being what it is, I can see that if I would've treated my husband at the time better, he wouldn't have strayed. I think he was justified in finding what it is that he wanted and needed. And shame on me for not seeing it sooner.

I am remarried, and have my priorities straight. My current husband won't stray, because he is taken care of.....

(actually, it's even in the bible that if a wife doesn't care for her husband, he should find another wife...for all of you out there rolling your eyes and quotting the bible about adultry)...
