I was just thinking of some of the stupid things my WH and first AP said to each other, and this is right up there. "God brought us together!"
They "found each other" on Facebook after 30 or so years. Considering the popularity of Facebook 10 years ago and the number of people on it, hardly an act of God, and certainly not fate.
Just a beautiful Sunday, thinking about the dumb things they said to each other to justify what they were doing. I wonder if he ever thinks back now and realizes how stupid it was.

Pretty sure God doesn't bring people together to cheat. 
OW posted some scrap after their A ended about if God brought you to it he will bring you through it. Same idea. No you idiot, He didn't bring to to a married father to cheat.
Facebook on the other hand does not care if yoh cheat.

My ex's AP was super religious. My ex was "trying" to end contact with her because "she wanted me to adopt her faith and I just couldn't do that." That was the only red flag he ever mentioned....
Guess he got over that one because now they're living together..

The princess did not say this to me directly, she wrote it in an email to assclown 7 years ago on Easter Sunday (I found her secret email and changed her password to lock her out! laugh
"As I sat in church today with TC and DD'S, I thanked God for bringing you back into my life"
I'm pretty sure God did not see it that way!

No. Don’t think so.
God clearly says the he will judge the adulterer and the sexually immoral.

What about resisting temptation? Aren't we all supposed to be focused on that?
Thank you everyone for your wisdom and healing.

Pretty much. They talked so much about God. God was guiding them, it was all God’s plan. Umm, no.

Twin Flames; Soulmates; Divine Intervention. Many people need to romance the hell out of meeting/being with their partner.
In all fairness, I'm sure I used the term 'soulmates' in my relationship with my wife.
I'm 100% sure that I have NOT used that term since 2009. Doesn't mean that I don't have a good marriage today; it just means that I grew up a lot in the last decade......

When people use God to justify their behavior then they are deluding themselves and using religion to justify their choices, and that just makes it worse.
Lie and cheat all you want but please don’t think God condones this.
That is as bad as blaming the betrayed spouse for the affair (imo).
Sometimes I think you meet people for a reason. Cheating is NOT a reason you meet someone. It’s not karma or a sign or whatever.
And BTW the loser you knew in High School is most likely the same loser today. Just older.
Survived two affairs and brink of Divorce. Happily reconciled. 12 years out from Dday. Reconciliation takes two committed people to be successful.

"Everything fell into place...like it was meant to be". These were the words my H told me on Dday regarding his A. These were the SAME words WE used to say when we felt Divine Intervention HELPED us in some way. My H told me that when all of these things just fell into place...like it was meant to be...that he felt God was CONDONING his A 
.
I lost my faith in God when my H said that to me 
. HOW COULD GOD DO THIS TO ME???!!! I got so ANGRY...at God!!!
After Dday...when my H was giving me his verbal timeline...I started to realize that things actually did NOT fall into place. There were roadblocks EVERYWHERE !!!
I then felt such SHAME and GUILT for believing that God would EVER condone any A 
. Thank God He forgave me and gave me another second chance 
.
A "perfect marriage" is just two imperfect people who refuse to give up on each other.
With God ALL things are possible (Matthew 19:26)
I AM happy again...It CAN happen!!!

That’s the other funny thing. She had no interest in him in high school or college, but when they reconnected her yearbook words meant so much more and she was so hoping he’d read into them and find her and rescue her. Talk about rewriting history.
Yeah, PSTI, I am not either and whenever WH talks to our son about God, I always wonder if he realizes how hypocritical it is.

Didn't he listen to his marriage vows? "He whom God has joined together, let no man put asunder." God himself would never tear someone's marriage apart.
I've heard about a lot of blame-shifting from WSs. Blaming God takes the cake.

Okay, I'm an atheist so take this with a grain of salt, but IIRC the popular religions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam) all have prescriptions against adultery. It's a sin in all three faiths - it's probably a sin in others as well.
God would not tempt people to sin/offend him.
That's the other guy they're thinking of, the one with the horns and pitchfork.
