[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I never thought Eliren was owed an apology. She owes LVP an apology.[/quote]

And if you don't want to be offended by someone discussing your affair, then don't have one.  [/quote]

Agree! She was uncomfortable? Wonder how her and Vince's spouses felt.[/quote]

I don't disagree that cheating is wrong, and if Eileen's or Vince's ex characterized the start of their relationship that way - as "the affair" - I couldn't fault them. But LVP has no dog in this fight, is not friends with either of their exes, and is supposedly Eileen's friend. It's just bad manners for her to characterize their relationship as an affair on TV when she met Eileen years afterward, and Eileen and Vince are still together 10+ years later, and their relationship has resulted in a child that can hear it described this way. If you were friends with someone who had been an alcoholic 20 years ago, before you met them, would you phrase a question "so is that when you became a drunk?" Just because it's true doesn't mean it's polite, kind, or appropriate for a friend to say aloud. [/quote]

Absolutely agree!  I thought Eileen was well within her rights to tell LVP how offensive her aggressive questioning was.  LVP knew *exactly* what she was doing - trying to get a reaction out of Eileen - and she succeeded.  As far as I'm concerned, when Eileen first confronted LVP at that dinner, and told her she was offended by the intrusive questions, LVP should have sincerely apologized, then and there.  But instead, she took her usual passive-aggressive stance and made Eileen look like she was in the wrong.  Classic LVP - never admit fault.  Never apologize (sincerely, at least).

That said... I do also agree with other PPs who said Eileen should have shut down that line of questioning ASAP, right as it was happening.  She wasn't under any obligation to answer LVP.  However, because I'm someone who constantly plays the "I should have said ---" game, I can completely understand how she didn't react quickly enough to do that.  She was just trying to be polite and have a conversation with LVP and it got intrusive before she knew what was happening.

The thing that annoys me about LVP is that she's always playing those games with people; asking questions that are none of her business, and then feigning surprise when she gets an angry reaction.  She's very, very clever and I really doubt I'd ever be able to fully trust someone like that.  [/quote]
