Lines and Perimeters with Respect to Others

~Beth Corbin

You know I am a very positive individual and believe in respecting others.  I would never purposely disrespect anyone, but I will walk away and be done with people who continually disrespect and take advantage of others. 

Cheaters are not worth your time or energy and if they cheated on someone in the past, chances are they will cheat on you in the end.  If a couple is separated or going through a divorce and that divorce is not final-- stay away from him!

You are messing up any chance of them reconciling if that chance is viable.  Even if you are not sleeping with him, that wife will think you are when you are over there consoling him.  Be respectful by staying out of it, if the divorce is not final!

On the Red Road there are just certain things you do and don’t do out of respect.  I am Shawnee and follow the ways of the women which means I will not disrespect a woman by having a relationship with her man. 

As I was taught by my elders, women and men do not need to be confiding in each other and discussing intimate, private or sensitive details about themselves to members of the opposite sex, unless they are very close or have the hopes of getting to know them better for a future relationship.

Those that cross that line end up opening a door that can lead to being unfaithful to their spouse.  Being unfaithful is not just having sex according to the elders.  It is also not standing up for your loved one, disrespecting him/her by sharing intimate details with someone besides you.  This causes a faulty foundation and your relationship will lose trust and possibly crumble. 

If all women would follow this; there would be no cheating.  Our lives are all about respecting the things God breathed life into: plants, animals, people... Through this respect we learn to love and understand those around us. 

I am not saying you are not allowed friends of the opposite sex; there are lines and perimeters making those friendships not have the depth you have with your spouse.
