New Scars from an Old Assault



February 16, 2019


How does one forgive a person that isn't remorseful for their actions? An even better question may be, why put up with someone that could care less that they've hurt you? To add insult to injury,  this person makes it loud and clear that they will continue their actions because they feel entitled. What is this action you ask? The action that I speak about is the act of infidelity in marriage.

Last week, my husband and I were watching the Oprah Winfrey Network as we awaited for Iyanla Vanzant's Fix My Life Show. We have been fans of this show since the first season, and we always engaged in intellectually stimulating conversations afterwards.  However, this time around, the fairly new show Love and Marriage: Huntsville caught our attention when the condescending words of Martell Hope grabbed our ear and made me gasp in horror. The level of disrespect towards his wife was unsettling and caused my blood to boil.

How does one choose to cheat on their wife and then tell her that it's her fault? What sort of marriage vows include the phrase feel free to go out and indulge in as many side chicks as possible any time your wife displeases you? Please share with us and our readers the occasion that this type of behavior is appropriate if you agree with this train of thought.

As the next episode of Love and Marriage: Huntsville is aired Saturday, February16th,  I have to ask myself if I'm ready to watch.  It is hard for me to witness any female get treated the way Mel Hope was treated last week. While she seemed to hold her own against the smug behavior of Mr. Martell Hope, it was still a weight that she never deserved to carry.  The episode definitely prompted my own husband to want to do a youtube show in the future about infidelity in marriage. As a man, he would definitely bring some balance to the conversation.

As always, we would love to here from you. If you haven't done so, take a look at the clip from Season 1, Episode 5 "Miami Vices" Love and Marriage: Huntsville by clicking here.  We welcome you to talk to us by telling us your thoughts below.  Don't forget to include any questions you would want us to include on our Marriage Infidelity youtube show in the comments.

I truly believe that there are so many wonderful marriages full of love, respect, and fidelity in the world.  One can only hope that Martell and Melody Hope find happiness together, or if divorce becomes their reality, the happiness is experienced with their next spouses.
