[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I think back to the stupidest thing I did in my 20s, and then imagine that thing being recorded and disseminated throughout the world, becoming infamous for it, that mistake following me for the rest of my days, it makes me sick.  She's a brave lady and I admire her for what she's made of her life in spite of it all.[/quote] this a hundred times over. Most of us even well into adulthood wouldn't be able to handle that level of intense scrutiny. I can't imagine and kudos to her for picking up the pieces and succumbing to suicide or depression. If she'd blown a random coworker or if she'd kept her yap shut none of this would have happened. [/quote]

Am I the only one who didn't do anything stupid in her 20's? When I think back, the big things that happened, were: I moved out of my parents house, I dumped a friend for being insensitive about 9/11, I broke up with a boy who wanted to get married while I didn't feel ready yet, I got someone fired (he deserved it, but I still feel bad), and I moved across the country from family.  None of these were bad choices. [/quote]

I highly doubt you were perfect in how you handled all the above decisions/actions, and at least from the outside looking in, you probably overstepped in a couple of those scenarios.

You're not perfect. You never were. You have absolutely made bad choices, just maybe on a different scale.

I have never had an affair with a married man. In college, I did fall in love with one of my professors (he was in a long term committed relationship, but not married, no kids). While I was still enrolled though no longer his student, he took on a sort of off-campus advisor position, that probably crossed some boundaries. Lunches/walks in parks, personal discussion, etc. It never went beyond that, but I still was naive and I regret getting involved. I don't feel proud about that.

No one deserves remotely the kind of lifelong extremely public attacks, bullying, and hate that Monica Lewinsky received. The impeachment squabbles were over the top, but it's insanely awful how little blame the men get for their roles. [/quote]
