I had an affair with a woman at work. Now I am on the verge of losing my job. My wife and I have since reconcilled, now she heard from the Dr. she has an STD, HPV. I have repented however I am deeply condemend. I have had thoughts of suicide. I cannot get over this big sin I have committed. After 7 years of marriage I never thought I would ever cheat on her. We have two boys 6 and 4 years.....

Please pray for my wife and I

Drew and Alma

Andrew, I am sorry for your sin and that you must suffer its repercussions. Sin is sin afterall and it most certainly carries with it repercussions for which if we contemplated fully beforehand might help keep us on the straight and narrow.

It was once said by a wise christian who was witnessing the execution of some criminal. This wise man was approached by another nobleman who scoffed at the criminal that was to be executed saying, I'm glad I'm not a sinner like him, to which the wise man replied, "but for the grace of God so go I."

I think it fair to say that we are all sinners and worthy of the consequences of sin. If not for Jesus Christ paying the price for our sin we would all be condemned for our actions.

It is a good thing for you to repent. I will pray for your marriage and family's healing. Look to God for the healing. Look to Him for the strength to overcome all sorts of temptation. We should all pray for each other as we all face temptations but through Christ, we can find a way to escape.

In His name,
chestnutmare

This is a hard topic for me to address. My ex-husband cheated on me when we were married four years and I was pregnant. It took him another four years to confess. I did however forgive him and eventually trusted him again completely. That was not the reason for our divorce. But I cannot explain the despair that infidelity brings. You have done the hardest thing, repenting, asking for forgiveness and giving her whatever she needs to trust you again. Now is not the time to give up. You have been brave, don't take the cowards way out now. Be there for your wife and your children. This too shall pass. I will pray for your family to heal. Stay in the word and seek help when you need it. Taking your life would only compound your sin and ruin your families lives. Think of them now, not your own pain.
