Language evolves with a purpose. Regress and it just shows regressive tendencies, although must admit there comes a point where it just becomes extremely funny.0 -

Who are they to offer it?
It was you who started going on about Christian forgiveness in the first place!...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

Am i perfect myself?
I do not judge peoples morals or how they live their life.
I have my opinions on their behaviour but it is not my right to voice them to appear superior
You do judge other people, and you've posted judgments about other people here on MSE before....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

I've never considered having to choose between them. They both cause hurt and shock, and knock the equilibrium of the marriage right off course.
However, after what happened in our situation, I sometimes think it would have been easier to get over it if he had had a one night stand with someone he didn't care about and would never see again.I haven't bogged off yet, and I ain't no babe

Looks like you making a judgment on someone's behaviour, perfect or not....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0
