Is it not a viable possibility that one can become vain/proud of how they look? EVEN starting as early as childhood?
I personally knew, and still know of many youth where they simply "choose" to idolize how they looked, compared to other children... because of the attention they gain from the opposite sex... envy from the less attractive kids ...and begin to live their lives on a "pedestal" of their own.
Just look at the generation of this day and age for example. Its on the TV... at the nightclubs...everywhere!
Why does it have to be something "other" than simply....choice?
Even I was that way ..at one point. But like everyone else. I Chose it. I Chose to believe the Lie that was being whispered in my ear...and agreed with it...

I dont know what i said exactly to imply a Snap Judgement.
I just find it a little odd that ppl want to ignore the possibility that evil spirits may be a cause. And that we either choose to listen, or Not to listen to them.
No one needs to have a degree in counselling or psychology to determine that much.
Just gotta read the Good Word ^^
And why do ppl think so Highly of Psychology anyway? Dont you know that the majority of them recommend Buddhist Meditation techniques to resolve ones issues?

Okay.
Regarding the OPs First marriage. She said..
Doesn't it sound like she was depressed?
So she had an affair because she was depressed. And who caused the depression? (in the Bigger picture?).
Well...the devil right?
So then... to me...it seems like an evil spirit (the devil) caused her to commit adultery , right?
I've not mentioned anything about Possession so far. I've only been implying Influence.
And ill say it again. I believe we can ALL be Influenced by evil spirits. Christian or not.

Usually people that have a problem with promiscuity have had an issue in their childhood. And it also usually has to do with the relationship with their father. It seems that the OP doesn't have self esteem or she would not be needing all this attention that she is craving. There just seems to be something deeper there that she hasn't shared yet. JMO
Bad childhood, daddy issues, and low self esteem?
No, those are lame liberal excuses.
The issue here is pure selfishness.
Unloving responses on such a subject and someone having the confidence to be open about it, is not particularly helpful. I get that maybe you have an issue with being cheated on, however it's not the most important thing in regards to breakdown of a relationship, it's a symptom of a deeper issue. The relationship breaker is often the insecurity that 'already existed', or that grows with the mistakes, partially of the affect on self and partner of such things, but these can be resolved if there is a spiritual ground of understanding and remorse to do so, which is what we are supposed to inspire.
If you only look at the surface and respond to that, and ignore the fact that someone has the courage to confess their sins here, when you probably would not do such a thing, then how is that particularly helpful? Best to say nothing really than try to push people into guilt. As I was saying about distortions in what love is, and being loving is, you seem to be showing an example of that. Change your tune or say nothing at all.
I say this in peace, rather than looking for an emotionally driven reaction.
