AceShowbiz - Anna Duggar is reportedly not going to leave her husband Josh Duggar though he admitted he was cheating on her. According to PEOPLE, the mother of four even partially takes the blame for her husband's infidelity.
"Anna will not leave him," says a source close to the family. "As with her in-laws, she is turning more to her faith than ever. She and Josh are probably praying around the clock right now, I would assume."
The source even says that "on some level" Anna tries to "absorb some of the blame." Regarding what Anna is going to do, the source explains, "Maybe not publicly, ever, but privately, there will be some suggestion of whether or not she should have been more aware of the pressures Josh was under, of the issues he was facing, and how she could have better counseled him or helped him."
Anna's decision is allegedly because "she is fully and permanently committed to her marriage and her children. And she'll have the support of Jim Bob and Michelle and everyone else in their circle in terms of staying with him and making this work," says the source. "Divorce is not even something that will be discussed."
Meanwhile, the "19 Kids and Counting" family members are reportedly shocked after Josh confirmed that he paid some subscriptions on infidelity website Ashley Madison. A Duggar family insider tells PEOPLE, "We're all hunkered down over here. It's just a mess, it's a whole mess. We don't even know what the truth is anymore. It's insane."
"I would assume he feels like his life is ruined. It will be such a steep and practically impossible climb to come back from this," says the insider. The family can hardly look at Josh in the same way following sex-related scandals involving him. "It's like he's a completely different person from who they thought he was," the insider continues.
Nevertheless, they attempt to recall any good things about him. "They're still trying to reconcile all that they know is good about Josh, whom they will always love and adore, with what they've learned now," the insider adds.
