True Christianity is adamantly against infidelity. It is one of the ten commandments, if that gives you a hint to its importance. The majority of modern Christian males, however, no long want to obey this commandment and will make attempts to find excuses. There are none - Christianity tells us that the unfaithful should actually be stoned to death!

Christians believe that God hates adultery. In Matthew 19, Jesus talks about marriage and in verse 9 says that fonication (including adultery) is the only ground for divorce (so forgiveness is not required, though one may choose to forgive). Adultery is forbidden in the ten commandments.

Divorce is not recommended except in the case of adultery (sermon on the mount ) and adultery is specificially prohibited in the ten commandments

Answer by  TruthIsNotRelative (43)

When interpreting Bible literally we can discern that according to Jesus infidelity is the only basis for divorce in view to remarrying. Still in the Sermon on the Mount he also encouraged people to show mercy where possible. For Corinthians Apostle Paul wrote that the love bears ALL THINGS.

Infidelity is a big deal in the Bible, and Jesus preached against it. But more importantly, Jesus requires Christians to forgive because forgiveness frees you from the trouble caused by another. Forgiveness is a gift and can't be earned. Talk with a reverend if you can't move past the problem.
