I understand the importance of “love thy neighbor as thyself” and the quality of Chesed. I think my question revolves around also establishing the quality of Gevurah and healthy boundaries. For example if you are interacting with a person with NPD- real narcissistic personality disorder. These people act like parasites, so if I were to look at nature, parasites have the function of helping species establish stronger defense mechanisms over time. A person with NPD will always say that you are selfish and wrong no matter what, so in this case would it be true to say that you could listen to them as Hashem speaking, to find the places where you are also narcissistic or the form in which you are selfish but to also accept them as a force that is helping you to establish boundaries? Is agreement always necessary or can the reverse be true? Or maybe both are true like I just presented?

At the time of this lesson, my husband is having an affair, it’s an emotional affair and they have been talking for over 2 years everyday and they also met once a month ago. She lives in another country. This is very difficult and I’m trying to love him and her as I would love myself but it’s really really difficult. He still wants to stay married but is still talking to her and is not willing to stop at this time. Are there any articles or any advice relevant to this topic that I could look at? Thank you.
