  • Our live caller explains he married the woman he had an affair with and feels a lot of regret and guilt. He isn't sure if he should stay married. Dr. Joe Beam explains this question is more theological in nature.
    At Marriage Helper, our philosophy and principle is to save the marriage, so that is the principle we help couples with. However, we understand the difficulty it is to be overwhelmed by guilt.

      it is typical male psychologie. They're doing their best for a woman as long as he doesn't have/ possess her completely. Once the woman is his completely they lose interest in chasing and doing his best and take her for granted. It is something biologically i think.

    What if the first wife is still hurting and has not moved on. There are consequences to our actions. No one gets away with anything. If the affair partner knew he was married and willingly helped him leave his wife, it’s even worse. It’s not about guilt, it’s about doing what is right. That guilt he feels is his conscious and you are trying to silence that with mental disputes. He is not suppose to be with this woman just like he feels. That second marriage doesn’t really count in the eyes of God. If a man commits adultery he destroys his own soul…

    Not good advice! The caller's new relationship was born out of lust, outside his then-current(first)-marriage to his first wife. Then he left his wife & married the other woman whom he committed adultery with. Obviously it would not last because it was born out of lust, infidelity, passion - that's why his affair-led marriage is emotionally over already! He deserves what he got!! The Marriage Helper gave him totally wrong advice!
    I sincerely hope his first wife gets a much better new husband than him, someone who will truly love her & be faithful to her all the days of her life.

    I have seen mostly women in this scenario. Divorce their husband, remarry, have a child, then regret and divorce again. Problem in western societies that I see, we have sent our elders to nursing homes and there is no one left in day to day life to teach younger people from their experiences and wisdom. Life is truly a spiritual battle and one must overcome childhood trauma, inner demons, hate and anger to avoid this vicious and perpetual cycle of misery.

      @@elikorn7418 I can't speak for their experiences, but I can validate what they said ("many women do want other women's husbands") --- they've actually done psychological studies on this now and proven it true. The core of the study found that as a whole, single women found men who they thought or were told are married as more attractive than men who are single.....As for the reasons WHY -- There are a few theories but their main belief is married men are an embodiment of what single women desire (commitment, security, marriage).....they don't always understand it, and ofc it doesn't make sense to take ANOTHER'S husband, but they believe this is the driving factor (it's the same for women who find dads out with their children attractive/appealing). There's also a smaller amount of these women who don't want the man necessarily, it's more about competition -- they want the ego boost of feeling better than the wife by winning her husbands love/attention.
      *I personally don't think I would have found a married man to be appealing, but I also married at 21. If I never married and/or only dated men who weren't interested in marriage, perhaps I would have been fascinated by the men who DID take vows (maybe at the very least looking for queues in their behavior so I could seek it?).....hard to say as I didn't walk that path. As a wife I want to judge these women, but I'm trying to be understanding.

    His problem is with himself. If he does go back to the first wife, it will only be the same song and dance. He needs to fix himself. There is something seriously wrong with him. I have a theory. I think he has a personality disorder and probably some trauma that he got some where along his life, wether it was from childhood (most likely) or afterwards. He wants the “perfect” (in his eyes) relationship. When he doesn’t get that/what he wants, it is easy for him to break up with someone. He is selfish and can’t he in a relationship because he can’t even understand or _love_ himself for that matter. How can you relate to another human being in a relationship/marriage if you can’t even relate to yourself.
    He needs to go to therapy to work on his issues and the marriage he is already in. Stop jumping from person to person and relationship to relationship. He made his bed, now lie in it.

    His advice is actually correct everyone! It’s not bad advice! All y’all saying it’s bad advice have probably been victim to a cheater 🤷🏼‍♀️ just saying. I’ve been victim to it too and I’ve never cheated. He probably shouldn’t have married his first wife but he did. The man said that bc the guy wasn’t emotionally mature enough to marry hence the affair. Also you can’t change the things already done. So to advise him to work on his marriage to the affair partner would be the best advice he can give him bc what can he change of fix with the first? Not a thing! Even if he left affair partner and stayed with first wife, y’all honestly think he could have become better and that the wife would ever let him live that down? Who would condone such a toxicity between two people? Not a good person, that’s who. Remember that it’s possible y’all are judging him based off of your own feelings, fears and projecting it out onto the comments. Don’t criticize him that way. And he knows more about the Bible than y’all do so to also be critical of him using the Bible to reference something is also wrong- especially bc all y’all are closed off and missed where he said “I cough every time I say minister” as if to joke and make light of his own guilt and past mistakes.
