Extra-Marital Affair & Suffering

A lady friend of mine whose spouse derailed from their marriage and nearly ended up in a divorce. When he decided to hold on to the proceeding due to custodial right of his child and the alimonyarrangement, his mistress was impatient to get him out of his existing marriage. Out of a sudden, from a sweet and understanding companion, she has became aggressive and abusive, constantly harassing my friend's husband and family with the objective that he quickly resolve the marriage. My friend's husband finally woke our from his dream to realise that this woman was definitely not the one he wanted to spend his life with. This woman even got her ex-boyfriend to confront my friend's husband leaving him with bruises and pain. Although my friend's husband regretted his deed and decided to leave his woman, she is not letting him off, threatening to kill herself or cause harm to his family. I could imagine the suffering that my friend, her husband and family are going through now, and all this because of 'Lust". Buddha has reminded us in the third of the five percepts the danger of sexual misconduct. We are digging our own graves if we choose to ignore.
