[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sadly, I kind of agree. I would still be furious if my DH cheated on me, but if I were 40 pounds heavier, didn't care what I looked like and had completely lost all semblance of my former self, I would have to admit to myself that an affair wouldn't be a big surprise. Men are men. [/quote]

I don't think Petreus's wife "lost all semblance of her former self."  She is a talented, high-powered career woman who has her own life, goals, achievements, etc.  She has hardly given up on herself or on life. Apparently the general grew up to be a lying, cheating bastard and somehow she managed to avoid having an affair even though he clearly wasn't the "catch" she married. [/quote]

Um, have you looked at her pictures?  She looks exactly the before picture on the makeover shows.  She does not look like someone who has a great attitude.  Maybe she's smart, but I have a feeling she is where she is because she was a great organizer and a general's wife.

"You have a feeling"?  I hope that you are not in charge of performance reviews where you work because generally a person's competence at work is determined by more than "I feel like they aren't good at their job."  FWIW, she looks like a lot of 60 year old women to me.  She isn't grossly obese or unkempt, just a little frumpy and prone to wearing boxy suits.  A good marriage is based on shared interests, years of personal memories, and a genuine like of the person's personality.  I do not see how she is to blame if the only piece of evidence you are claiming is her less than hideous appearance. [/quote]
