When the mind allows guilt to take over, it will tear down
relationships, especially if the partner fails to come to terms and
agreement with self. To determine if your mind is full of guilt you
must ask your self-questions. What did you do so wrong that would
offend your partner that cannot be forgiving?
Guilt can break the mind down to the
point of no return. Guilt is more than a mistake made; rather it is a
violation against rights, humanity, belief, tradition, standards, and
love.
When a person fails in a relationship,
they may feel a measure of guilt. Thus, confronting the problem now can
remove the guilt and make the relationship work. When people confront
their problems, it often leads to workable agreements. When
procrastination, or else lying to cover the wrong continues the mind
consumes itself with emotions based on guilt.
Guilt occurs when conscious actions or
thoughts interfere with someone else’s rights, or else against the own
person’s beliefs. Mistakes leading to guilt depend on the situation,
but for the most part wrongs can lead to right if humanity exists.
If a person commits adultery, thus the
problem is solvable if the person acted out of emotion, rather than
thought and commits to restoring trust. Of course, actions, effort,
behaviors and habits must show the mate that the mistake will never
occur again. It depends on the mate but some will forgive, while others
may take the insult of the partner letting them know their worth in the
relationship to heart and may decide separation and/or divorce is the
way out. Adultery is stating to the mate that you have no worth. If the
mate decides to forgive, thus you must do your part and allow the guilt
to turn into effort to restore trust. You will need consideration,
loyalty, compassion, honesty, and may even need to tell your every move
for a while during the course of restore. A person with true remorse
will work hard, regardless of what he/she needs to do to restore trust.
If a person violates the right of the
partner, thus, it depends on the magnitude of violation, but in most
instances, it is workable. People act out of emotions and impulses at
times, and will often act out of lust occasionally. When the emotions,
impulses and desires take control (depending on the length of time
control is enforced), the person may do things he or she ordinarily
would not do.
Thus, adultery is a justifiable reason
to divorce or separate from the spouse, but looking at the entirety of
the circumstance can help a person decide. Was the spouse enticed by
another individual to commit the act, while the spouse was feeling
vulnerable? Still, vulnerability is no excuse on the spouse’s part, but
if enticement is the case, then two people wronged you. Was the other
person in the act deceived? Did your mate lead the person to believe
that he/she was not in a commitment?
Examining the entirety of the act can
help the mate determine the direction the relationship is heading, and
help the other partner decide what he/she needs to do to make things
right again.
Divorce is an attack on the emotions,
since a trigger hits the heart and emotions and creates pain, sorrow,
hurt, sadness, et cetera. Divorce is showing a disregard for the
marriage arrangement unless true reasons for divorce are evident. Thus,
divorce should only be considered if the mate commits adultery, abuses
the partner, or fails to commit in the relationship arrangement, and/or
if death occurs.
If you are in a relationship and your
mate committed an insulting act against you, such as adultery. Thus,
considering the entirety will help you make a wise decision. If another
person enticed your mate on vulnerable grounds, thus consider your
partner by asking what were, you thinking at the time. If your mate
responds by saying I wasn’t thinking, thus you can ask, what makes me
think it won’t happen again? If your mate is sincerely sorry, he/she
will let you know by words, action, emotions, thoughts, and tone spoken.
