I am glad you mentioned this. My husband and I were discussing this the other day and minus the child molestation, this is the same thing many married people choose to do everyday...Married and have affairs with other women/men. What about people who do not acknowledge or follow any religion and just sleep around??? I know it does not hold the same stigma, but it is definitely something to consider. I am not going to condone what happened there, but I definitely try to be open-minded about different cultures/religions etc.
