PSA: If the cheater did not come clean on their own…

“Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.”

-Matthew 10:16, KJV

If a cheater did not come clean on their own, the chances of true repentance diminish greatly.

I would warn you to be prepared for either anger over discovery or a slew of false promises. They may even tear up to manipulate your pity in an effort to avoid taking responsibility.

Please be careful.

All cheaters are liars. They manipulate. One of their most powerful weapon is your commitment to the marriage. They clearly are NOT committed to the marriage as God intended.

Such cheaters may ask how you know:

I would NOT recommend disclosing everything as then you may never discover if they are just talking about remorse as opposed to actually living in repentance.

The important piece of information is NOT how you figured out that they were cheating. At least, it is an unimportant piece of information for a person truly remorseful and repentant for cheating.

For someone desiring to continue the cheating, how you figured out is a key piece of information for them in order to continue manipulating you and others.

A cheater looking for this information is signaling a strong commitment to continuing in sin. It speaks volumes about their character or actually, their lack of character. Beware!

  1. Hi DM.

    It is true that the cheater almost never repents when discovered, at least most of the time. But I’ve heard so many Christians tell faithful spouses that they should pray for their love ones to repent, that it is their duty to keep the marriage because it is a covenant and they can never break a covenant, and more importantly is not their spouses it is the devil that have them slaved to sin so they have to continue praying, making war for their souls and eventually they’ll come back in repentance, if you ever divorce it is because you don’t believe God is capable of restore the marriage, because “God is in the restoring business”, and you promise to be in the marriage no matter what.
