This will be unpopular.

I don’t care that she was with someone other than her “sort of” husband (she has filed for divorce.) I can’t be married under the terms of anything called a “Christian Wedding” where I would have to file anything, so all you moralizers can stick your love for the State which apparently is superior to that of your alleged “God” where the sun doesn’t shine. Get back to me when you demand the State accept an agreement — including the terms for dissolution if indeed anything other than death is “good enough” — the particular faith in question requires to perform the ceremony (as they and the two parties freely choose, within very broad guidelines — such as “no more than two” if you wish) but until then you’re a damned hypocrite to file with the state in the first place, so by the definition you accepted in doing that once you file for divorce any alleged commitment you had is gone, finito, kaput. You are now negotiating who gets what between material assets and, if there are children, who’s going to care for them on what schedule and who will pay the cost of that (imputed, inflated or otherwise), not whether your “commitment” is done. Once that petition is filed if you want to sleep with other people have at it; you’ve declared your union kaput and your Church agreed to that definition of same when the officiant, Priest, Pastor or whoever signed the original marriage certificate from the State. In so-signing said officiant in their capacity was fully aware and confirmed as legally and ecuminically valid that all one of you had to do was declare you no longer wanted to be married, file a sworn document to that effect with the court and it will inevitably be so even if the other party objects!
