But Samuel replied,
“What is more pleasing to the Lord:
your burnt offerings and sacrifices
or your obedience to his voice?
Listen! Obedience is better than sacrifice,
and submission is better than offering the fat of rams.”
-I Samuel 15:22, NLT
Notice how swiftly Cheaters can turn responsibility for their cheating onto you, their victim!
They have an “emotional affair” and then claim that you are at fault for this as you did not give them enough emotional support. This was just “a cry for help” or a way to get your attention.
Would we give a wife-beater a pass for beating up their spouse and saying it was his way of getting her attention?! I hope not.
Whether it is physical or emotional violence, it is NOT okay! Cheaters do not get a pass for violating the trust of their spouse and then blaming their spouse for such treacherous violations.
