In response to a man’s story of being cheated on and financially abandoned by his wife, one comment advised, “Forgive her, pray for her, dress neatly, call her and talk to her like a baby. She will change with time.”
While forgiveness and communication are important in any relationship, this advice dangerously overlooks the severity of betrayal and emotional abuse. It places the burden of change solely on the victim, suggesting that he must work harder to earn respect and faithfulness from someone who broke his trust.
