Quick, Chicken Little, grab your teflon umbrella! The sky is falling! |
For the wife and kids- yes. The dude can lie in the mess he created. Lying is never the right route. At its core- cheating is lying. Be a man and end things before you get to the point you'll cheat. It's pathetic. |
Uh, not sure you get what's going on in this thread. There are people suggesting folks who make the mistake of having an affair should maybe kill themselves. Is that your position? |
My position is that the PP was over the top. Hence the chicken little reference. If my position was supportive of people choosing to kill themselves after choosing to have an affair, then I would have said so. Hope that clears up your apparent confusion. |
It didn't. You just wanted to make a chicken little joke? Was that the main thing? Or did you have any other meaningful point? |
Men are as faithful as their options. |
NP-since when did posts on DCUM all have to be meaningful? Seriously are you the PP's editor? |
It's consistent. Cheating and suicide are both selfish acts. No one should be surprised. I feel bad for the kids - whether or not the cheater commits suicide, I can't see how any spouse could forgive and forget knowing the whole world is aware. I hear that family lawyers are saying it's like Christmas in July.
But I am glad that AM is going down. |
Only for a certain time, like up to two years. |
+1. no excuse for the cheaters, but its sad and pathetic how people are taking enjoyment in all of this. |
Agreed. |
Have either of you checked the list for your spouse? I felt the same. Then I checked this list. Found his name. ![]() 37M people...That's a lot. A lot of people are hurting from this. |
I think its strange how everyone here is pointing to the suicides as if they are the pubilc's fault for eating this up. The hackers released the data. And frankly, while I understand suicide is tricky business, to me it feels extremely selfish and cruel to the cheated upon spouse to cheat and then kill yourself. You basically put them in a situation where they have to feel guilty about you dying after you cheated. While I think its a tragedy, I don't know how much compassion I can muster for this. |
I can see why someone would cheat on you. You are sick. Someone killed themselves b/c people like you feel so hurt someone cheated on you. You need a lot of self reflection. |
seems a lot were in sexless Marriages for years...personally can't blame them! Maybe the spouse shares some of the blame! And who did they cheat with??? Lotsa women also in sexless or abusive marriages who stay for the kids....and now nosy puritanical busybodies, some who've never had a decent sex life, are passing judgement??? |
