Sorry to hear what you are going through. The Bible is not silent on this issue. In fact, it is one out of two biblical acceptable reasons for divorce as we're told in Matthew 5:32 and Matthew 19:9). I would consider marriage counseling and speaking with a pastor if you haven't already. But if you already have, and you truly do not believe he's going to change, then I believe it would be in your best interest to divorce him. But think and pray on this before making any quick decisions..especially if you two have children.
Children are more aware of what is going on than we give credit. So is it in the best interest of the children to remain in the current situation that appears to be unlikely to stop. Or is it better to remove from unhealthy situation. Which would help the children to develop better?
Why is having an affair the only reason God allows divorse? In my thinking it is because the affair causes a union between the married person and the one with whom having affair. Just like the marriage union.
The only reason for divorce is the situation you are in.Matt 5:32 I would suggest moving on. It will be very tough on children if there are children and you should seek Chistian counceling for them. They somehow will feel that it their fault and will need help to overcome that.
It is very sad to know that there are children involved, but you have to do what's best for yourself and your family. A situation like like will eventually take a toll on your emotional, mental, physical, and eventually your spiritual well being.
You need to do what is best for you and help you to grow spiritually. If you feel this situation will cause a burden in your spiritual growth, then by all means, you need to move on. He did it 4 times, it looks like there is no consideration for you or your children. You deserve unconditional and faithful love, which you will certainly get with the Lord.
