Reply to comment by bgoug in I’m Online Therapist, Claudia Delgado, LCSW. I work with Women that are having an Affair - Emotional or Physical. AMA. by Claudia-Delgado-LCSW

I can’t disclose this information due to confidentiality and I can add that abuse is not the only reason it would not be safe to disclose affair. An example I can give is if partner is suicidal.

But there are many reasons. Sometimes it has to do with timing as well.

How many of those reasons do you believe to be morally justifiable?

All I can say is there are lots of gray in these situations as there are many different beliefs. This includes culture, religion and upbringing. An answer for one would not fit an answer for another.

I don’t believe culture, religion, or upbringing should ever be an excuse to betray the person you’ve committed yourself to and possibly made vows to. You’re doing good work, therapy is so important, but please remember that

This is way too black and white. I think as a therapist she's better suited to determine that her personal beliefs have no place in how she treats her patients.
