100% incorrect. Cheating has no impact on settlements.


In Louisiana, it's grounds for denial of alimony. Almost no one gets alimony, though, and I'm not aware that cheating plays any role beyond that. By the time a divorce actually gets to court, it's very typical that both sides have done something that could reasonably be called cheating, or at least provides evidence of it.

Even without fricking, it’s still going to be hurtful.

Things would never be the same again.

From a legal standpoint you might be correct.

Adultery is usually not looked upon favorably by most people, including judges. She might luck up and get a female judge with feminist leanings. He might luck up and get a male judge with a long and happy marriage.

You act like judges go by the letter of the law and never let their own thoughts inflence a judgement.

I'll say this straight up up. If you are an attorney. You're not a very good one.

In a divorce, he who strikes first is usually in the better position. Especially when they strike on a cheating spouse.

men and women can be friends and confide in each other without emotional cheating

Maybe so but rest assured if the man is straight he has at least entertained the idea in his mind of having intimate relations with the woman.

I will admit that unlike you, I am not a graduate of Joe's School of Flying, Lawyering, and Plumbing. Where you get a degree in all three simultaneously.

However, I know how it works through personal experience. People don't like cheaters. Even judges don't like them. I have been on both sides of the coin.

I forgave my ex-wife for it, so sure. I really couldn’t blame her though because I wasn’t making myself emotionally available to her. But out marriage was also pretty much down by that point and she was getting emotional support from a co-worker that had gone through a divorce.

Could you forgive "emotional cheating"?

Hypothetically lets say nothing physical happens but they start catching feels/having emotional conversations with someone else, could you move past that?


If there are conversations or text messages happening before or after hours, deleted call logs, deleted text messages, voice mails, or any type of deceptiveness --- it's dishonesty at best. And emotional cheating at worst. Plain and simple.

Looking "outside" of a relationship, whether long-term or marriage, is not the solution. It's an "easy" way out. Most "new" relationships are easy, fun, and exciting. Plus the added extra excitement of "not getting caught" only adds to the thrill of things. But even with those things, the "new" relationship will dull, fade, or die over time, because relationships (committed ones) are hard work.

I would start by looking inward first, and analyze my own behaviors. Then, step back and watch her behavior. If you pay close attention, you'll find out or see everything you need to know in personal and business relationships. Listen to what people say, but really watch what they do (or don't do).
