These tit-for-tat letters are doing the most because they always start off like this: Wife cheats on husband, husband asks for divorce and wife wants to work it out. Or...husband cheats on his wife with his wife's mother or sister, wife goes berserk and all of a sudden his conscience eats at him so he wants to make it right with his wife. The common denominator in this letter is that BOTH of them cheated. Yes, BOTH are guilty of the same indiscretion so there's no need for either of them to be upset with each other. Yes, the husband cheated first and he was at fault, but the wife sunk to his level because she did the same thing out of spite. Because he cheated on his wife, she wanted him to hurt like she hurts. Just because one spouse cheats, it doesn't give the other spouse a pass to do the same, because (s)he's no better than their (wo)man. Someone has to be the better person and do one of two things: Try & get past the hurt or cut the relationship loose. Everyone that's read my stance on these Strawberry Letters knows my stance so I don't need to reiterate it. Once infidelity happens, it's tough to regain that trust because you can never look at him/her the same way. As a matter of fact, some people take cheating so seriously that if you cheat once, you're gone. No apologies, nothing. It's going to take God, and possibly counseling for them to get over their hurt because after all, both of them did each other foul so it's hard to say who's at fault because again, even though the husband cheated first, the wife was no better because she committed the same transgression.
