We are finally here at the finale for Push The Button. Here we discuss the support you give for the friend who looks crazy, stupid, or plain dumb based on your standards, when it comes to cheating or betrayal. We don't see support often being shown in moments where our own beliefs don't align with the choices being made. So we discuss what it looks like to support someone for something you disagree with.
Christal is more willing to sympathize here in this instance. Feeling like there has to be a shoulder to lean on for such a hard choice to stay with someone who betrays you. BJ, on the other hand, feels like you should have an understanding that this road is often less traveled. As well as taking full responsibility for the hard choice. Simply put...most of us, if not all of us, feel like we deserve more from our partners when it comes to infidelity. So to think that you should expect your support system to be dishonest with their beliefs just to support your decision is difficult to ask someone. And can sometimes create a tension amongst your support system, while the focus should be on your partner.
How would you handle an instance like this where the odds are against you...and the only person who may understand you is YOU? because even your partner is removed from what you feel simply because they are hurting from actually hurting you. Very tough conversation to have. tune in and let us know what you think!
