You’re going to be fine. I’ll keep you in my daily prayers. I think the Lord has some wonderful graces in store for you. The best is yet to come.
 
He’s not and “OP” he’s a child of God asking for advice. I’ve never seen such a cold and dehumanizing label attached to someone in pain before. You’d better take that to prayer.
 
OP means Original Poster. I think you’re minimizing this sin. I’m even angry with the OP, and I’m not married to him! You might like to emphasize God’s mercy and that’s fine, but in order for the OP to really advance, he’s going to have to empathize with his wife. That means feeling a fraction of the pain he has caused her. How else can he not commit this sin again?

Forgiveness is not the step his wife is on, I can guarantee you.
 
Sounds like his post struck a nerve with you. I wonder why you’re so angry. I think some fusion is at work here.

We’re not angry with him: the issue is that you’re saying his wife will have no problem forgiving him. That’s both ridiculous and dangerous.

That’s when one’s personal baggage gets brought into another’s crisis. It’s quite a selfish practice among those in helping/ministry professions and must be avoided. Basically, the supposed helper makes the situation about their past hurts ratchets than offering real help. That always robs the person needing help from getting it.
 
I seem to remember him being the odject of anger on this thread. That’s strange considering he’s simply asking for advice. Free-floating anger is never good.
 
Go to confession. Your sins will all be washed away and you’ll right with God.
 
I do appreciate the efforts of law enforcement and the FBI’s effort to stop the horrible scourge of human trafficking.
 
Thank you all and it’s clear that God is in all of you. I’m still not home. The local paper and television station have put my picture up along with the other men arrested. I’m praying for them too. And for my wife and kids. I’m going to the kids school to talk with their counselors about what I can do to help them and if they can help in any way. I find out tomorrow if I get to keep my job. I’m going into the church Wednesday to speak with my Priest. I’m supposed to start teaching a class to the after confirmation group on the YouCat Wednesday night so I need to see how Father wants me to proceed. God bless you all.

I did simply give him advice, until you started saying that what he did wasn’t a big deal, which is both objectively BS and potentially misguiding. I’m not trying to make him feel bad: I commend him for his repentance and his willingness to make things better. When I pointed out the seriousness of what he did, it was for your benefit, because you’re operating under the gravely mistaken impression that being taken in by the FBI while attempting to commit adultery with a prostitute is no biggie (WHICH IT IS).

I’m sure he’ll be fine if he has good people in his life.
 
Surely all of us can do without you calling my opinion “BS”.

I think all of us could do without you saying misleading things to a guy who’s in a bad situation. His wife already kicked him out of the house: she’s almost certainly not going to forget about this in a few weeks, especially considering the fact that she’s been publicly embarrassed.

I think we’re quite done. Let us be at peace. God bless you.

I’m praying for you everyday at 3:00pm. You have wonderful things ahead of you in life and the troubles now will slowly fade into the past. God does not remember our mistakes and in the scheme of his plan they are like a vapor vanishing at sunrise.
