15 Suppose you see a brother or sister who has no food or clothing, 16 and you say, “Good-bye and have a good day; stay warm and eat well”—but then you don’t give that person any food or clothing. What good does that do?
-James 2:15-16, NLT
Financially Stuck
Some of us stay stuck with our Cheater, because we are financially vulnerable to them. Figuring how to meet our needs without our Cheater’s income is overwhelming.
I have sympathy for faithful spouses who can relate to this. It was part of my story as well. Thankfully, I had people who supported me through it all. It is possible to get unstuck!
This is another cruel aspect of dealing with a Cheater–i.e. some use their financial strength and security to cause you further distress:
They might be moving on as they can financially, whereas you are the one who is harmed by this the most being dependent on their income.
Some may even mock the faithful spouse in this awful predicament. Cheaters can be very cruel.
I want to encourage those of you who find yourself on the receiving end of such behavior. Life does get better sans Cheater. You CAN get out of this hole!
You may take significant hits to your quality of life and may struggle for some time rebuilding a life, but it is SO MUCH better without living in the contempt of a Cheater!
