I agree that it's questionable behavior, but divorce worthy? Not even close. I'm more of a fan of the concept of trying to repair and restore, even when something terrible like adultery has actually occurred.
I can see this causing an argument, though. For SURE.  My husband would be upset and embarrassed. No doubt. That's why I wouldn't do that to him and I question the motives of a woman who would. I also question the commitment of a man who would divorce for that alone. |
I am not joking. Pentecostals don't wear bikinis; at least not real Pentecostals. Why was she at a pool with someone other than her husband, and why dressed that way? What was her motivation?
Let's get real. No one, not even a good atheist, goes to the pool with someone other than their spouse dressed like that unless they have a motive that is not godly.
If I were her husband, I would believe the act constituted unfaithfulness (cheating). Her desire was not to him, it was to another.

Even if we can all agree it was inappropriate for her to be there, alone, with another man, we don't know that was actually the case.
We also don't know her and the guy were having a sexual affair

And I wonder at men who say they would have no problem with their wife leaving them at home in favor of going to a pool with another man clothed in nothing but a bikini.

Perhaps not, Charnock, but a wife not being a "real Pentecostal" isn't cause for divorce. Period.

I would hope my husband would make sure that was the case either through having a conversation with me or obtaining evidence of immorality before deciding that it constituted unfaithfulness.
Impropriety and immorality aren't one and the same.

To the rest of the world a bikini is what many women wear to go swimming...

Get a life Charnock! Not every one has sexual motivations in things they do! Although I have run across many UPCers that seem to think that! I guess they assume that everyone thinks like them.

It wouldn't matter to me if they were alone, or if they had sex. All that would matter is that she exposed herself to another man, in a calculated fashion.
