I mentioned the following situation in another thread but got no response to my last question, so I am reposting it here. Maybe I got no response because there is really no answer to this difficult situation. Anyway, if anyone here has an answer to my question or any suggestion, it would be greatly appreciated.
SITUATION IN QUESTION:
My friend, who is in the processing of becoming Catholic, fell into temptation and met a married woman who was in the process of divorce. He got her pregnant and then, after she had a divorce, married her, and is living with her. He knew all along the Church's teaching on divorce and remarriage but did it anyway. Well, now he wants to set things straight and at least stop living in the same apartment as her since he knows she is not really his wife. However, he is anable to leave because he can't afford another apartment for himself (he is paying the rent on this apartment since she is not working and he is also in $50, 000 debt). So, it looks as if he's stuck living with her until he can at least lower his debt by half - which means it could take 2 years of his living with her.
I am afraid, however, that the longer he lives with her, the more he is putting himself in temptation. And, as time goes on, the more it will be difficult to move out because the devil will make sure that there will be situations that arise that will complicate matters and make it harder to leave. Also there is a chance that the longer he stays he will grow to love her more and then not want to leave.
(NOTE: Even when he moves out, he would still have to have contact with her because they have a child together and he wants to see his child on a daily basis if possible)
QUESTION:
Does anyone here have any advice as to how a man can leave an adulterous relationship when he can't even afford to move out and pay for a separate apartment for himself?
