Whenever a long marriage ends in divorce, it's tragic no matter what the circumstances are. Even in cases of infidelity, where one side is clearly more at fault than the other, it's hardly as black and white as the public would like to think it was. Because we don't see the complex interactions of husband and wife on a daily basis, we put people into boxes and color them as "good"or "bad" because it makes it easier for us to understand their behavior. It also makes us feel like the good guys. If a man or a woman had an affair, then they must be evil, untrustworthy, narcissistic, etc. It's nonsense of course, but it's how most people think, sadly.
No, I'm not arguing for infidelity, and yes, I think it's morally wrong no matter what the case is. However, we are humans and sometimes we do wrong things. Let's remember the case of King David-who committed adultery and had the husband of the woman killed to cover it up. God was displeased, but still forgiving.
God is more forgiving than humans are. I'm guaranteeing you that there are people out there who think Jeff Bezos is human garbage who should be cleaned out in his divorce. Worse, there are people who think Bezos should be punished. If he (God forbid) gets cancer they'll call it karma. Think I'm kidding? Look what happened to Tiger Woods. Some people can't get over his scandal so they'll think anything bad that happens to him is deserved.
This story, and the reaction by the public, is just tragic all around.
