Criminal History
Can a second marriage succeed if both parties
cheated on their spouse in the first marriage?
Alex
Alex, is there honor among thieves? That is what
you are asking.
There is an honesty to ending a marriage when you don't love your
spouse and don't believe the marriage should continue. Divorce may not
be a pleasant thing under those circumstances, but at least it is an
honest thing. There is a creepy, under-the-rock, loathsome quality when
someone breaks the vow of fidelity while holding to the convenience
of the marriage.
That's what occurs when you start a new relationship before ending
the previous one. You crave assurances the cheater won't cheat on you,
but there is no assurance of that. It's hard to live in the present
while watching your back.
