INFIDELITY

Blatantly portrayed on the silver screen and boob tube. Sensationalized in media print. But it's what sells tickets, newspapers, and best-selling novels. It makes hit TV shows and soap operas are one of the worst, but we still sit and watch. There can be no happy couples or monogamous relationships. Why? Because it is considered boring. Never could understand why spouses cheat and have only known a few people who have experienced such a betrayal of trust.

Mary was a student worker in the office last semester and now is volunteering a couple of hours every day to get some medical office experience to help in her pursuit of a medical assistant career. She is married with two young children.

Mary came to work Thursday and quickly disappeared, but her backpack was still on the floor. I was too busy to have observed anything out of the ordinary. Kept working and Pat told me what was wrong and that Mary was talking to one of the psych interns and would probably be a while. Mary found out her husband slept with her sister. I was taken aback as well as disgusted. Talk about a double whammy.

Now, how could that possibly be a forgivable offense? Like I said before, I just don't understand.

Please keep Mary in your prayers.

Mary married a jerk! What a sad story and a life very much in need of prayer and friends to support her through this.

It just shows the lie of what we are constantly bombarded with in the media. Infidelity, in all of its many maifestations, hurts people and ruins lives. We'll keep Mary in our prayers.
