dont forget though the Stevens's have their kids to consider
So mby he didnt 'forgive' her as such, more to keep the family together?
I have no problem with Stevo forgiving her for what she had done to him, to their kids, to their family. But, what she had done is so much higher on the scale of negativity than what Carey did to him.
It is like forgiving someone for murder but not forgiving them for theft, it makes no sense. He has made him a scapegoat for all the problems because he wants to be with her. Life is so much easier when you have someone you are not attached to in order to blame.
If he is staying with his wife, for the kids, then they have to live in a happy family setting otherwise you are not doing the kids any favours. Kids know when the parents are miserable and they do not grow up happy kids. You can't be happy if you can't forgive and get over what happened.
I would never forgive my wife for a mistake like that, I just wouldn't take out all my hate on just the guy. They would both get the same treatment, in fact, I would hate her more than the guy because the guy has made no vows before god to be faithful, she would have.
Carey was an arse, he put his loins before a friendship but she put a whole lot more on the line than just a friendship.
