So if you come home and find your spouse sneaking cigarettes, you can divorce them? Sorry, but all concupiscence is addiction. It doesn’t absolve spouses from the need to be forgiving. Likewise, one person’s foibles are another person’s abuse; notions like “emotionally abusive” are far too vague. Unless the adultery, abuse or addiction are so severe that they impair the union (i.e., physical abuse, unrepentant or continuing adultery, drug addiction so severe it destroys the security of the marriage, etc.), you can’t simply say, “Hey, your spouse disqualified the marriage on this grounds! Bye Bye!”
