(11,101 posts)I can honestly say that I do not judge situations that I know nothing about. And since I know nothing about what goes on in the houses of people I have never met, I simply don't judge personal behavior regarding who cheated on whom or who was at fault in a divorce or anything like that. I wasn't in the bedroom with them. I have no idea who the "good guy" is. A woman runs off and leaves her husband and kids. I could say "what an asshole", but maybe her husband has berated her daily for the last 20 years. Maybe I should applaud her for leaving. My position is, I don't have any idea what goes on in someone else's house, so I choose not to form an opinion. Now if there are facts involved, like domestic violence or some other criminal act or a public statement that is clearly a lie, then, yes, I will judge that behavior. Things I know I can judge. I'm not pulling a Jesus here. I'm not telling you or anyone else not to judge John Edwards for his sex life. It's a free country, sort of. I just pointed out why I don't.
