Is Donald Trump the virus or just the symptomatic resulting anal wart from the virus? |
I feel nothing but pain and sympathy for Nashville Mayor Megan Barry and her spouse Bruce Barry, a Professor at the Owen Graduate School of Management at Vanderbilt University.
Last July 2017, Megan and Bruce lost their only child, their 22-year old son Max Barry to a drug overdose. He had some history of struggle with drug addiction, and it is surely a devastating loss. We now know that Mayor Barry engaged in an affair with a close colleague that began in the Spring of 2017. Being a loving mother I am sure that she is bereft, and was likely already struggling with self-blame of perhaps not being sufficiently emotionally present, or perhaps being too distracted or self-involved, in the last year of her son's life. An apparently good woman made one dear mistake, at what in retrospect was the worst possible time in her life to do so. I have no doubt that error of morality and judgment haunts her. She and her husband have suffered more than a couple should ever have to, I see no need to add a public humiliation and shaming to their misery. |
You know..... our culture was heading this direction LONG before Donald Trump came on the scene. LONG before. Just head on over to the “relationship forum” to see how promiscuity and infidelity works. And, I doubt these folks are fans of President Trump. |
Well said. Sometimes when people go through tough times, they come out stronger. I hope that for her and her husband. |
The point went flying well above your head. Please consider thinking and reading more, overall. |
Humans as politicians! What a concept. |
I just learned that word the other day. |
Holy crap is that her son’s funeral? Not cool. |
FRS. Promiscuity and infidelity predate the founding of our nation. |
Finally a decent post by someone with normal human values. The rest of you: do you have any humanity left in you?? |
According to this timeline the affair started before her son's death. So it was not a grief response as the poster suggests. |
Please.... Buying the wrong kind of milk is a mistake. Leaving your gloves at work is a mistake. Nine trips with your lover is not "one dear mistake." It is systematic, willful deception of the people you supposedly love. It is not one "mistake". And I have no doubt that she was going through emotional hell even before her son died given his addiction, and perhaps that had a toll on her relationships at home. But spare me the notion that this affair, which went on for months, was "one dear mistake" |
Yet, you just made a comment about the president cheating multiple times. Seems you are concerned about it. |
Donald Trump is one of legions of men and women. I live in a typical Washington suburb, and affairs are common. One spouse blows up for a few days, leaves for a week, and they reconcile. Rinse and repeat until the next more interesting person comes into either of their lives. |
both of them should have been concentrating on getting their son treatment and saving his life rather than engaging in affairs. This was not a "mistake" but a deliberate action to escape from the responsibility of her only child. |
