If your husband cheats, it means he's desirable to other women. As long as he doesn't get her pregnant or spend money on her, it should boost your ego. Loving husbands can separate marriage from sex.

If your wife cheats, it's the ultimate betrayal. Not only is paternity now in doubt but women tend to develop feelings more quickly. There's a reason most women don't leave cheating husbands but most marriages where wives cheat crash and burn.

The mayor of Nashville should resign immediately. Any man would be pressured to do so.


Like, Trump?

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.


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.


You are full of shit, I bet you have a few dirty little secrets like everybody else.

Sorry but is this some sort of proxy thread for Trump's infidelity? It only seems to make him look worse.

Do the right thing, Nashville, drop-kick her butt right out for good at the voting booth since she will not resign. The swamp extends all the way to Tennessee, apparently.

SHE has not suffered like HE has suffered. Now he's been publicly cuckolded.

Wait, was the husband involved in an affair? Why is this plural? I believe she was the only cheater here. It appears the husband was concentrating on their son and family while his wife was out screwing her boy-toy

Have you walked a mile in Megan's or Barry's shoes? If not, please try not to judge. I have been married for 22 years, and have NEVER had an extramarital affair. Yet I could find it in my heart not to judge this woman when I wrote the post you responded to above.

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.


I did not suggest it was a grief response, as I said the affair began in the spring, and her son passed away over the summer. Spring always precedes summer.

However, I did mistakenly post those events occured in the same year, when actually the affair began the year before.

I agree with all of this. However, would you and the PP have said exactly the same thing had the mayor been Republican? Plenty of evidence on these forums suggest a hard NOPE. You're compassionate and forgiving - if the subject is a Democrat. No way if they're Republican.

I call that selective forgiveness.

Also, here's another cheater who calls an affair "a mistake." No, it's actually a series of hundreds, or thousands, of willful lies and deceptions.

Husband apparently staying, and they will work on their marriage... .Do you think it can ever be the same? Or salvageable? Out there so publicly ...


You dumb, typical Republican. Here she - and we know you’re mad because it’s a woman - admits her failure and takes responsibility. Trump lies his far-spreading ass off as his (3rd) wife hides after husband’s porn star fling whores out their affair and...crickets.

Republicans are disgusting people. ALL of them at this point.


Not the PP, but it's clear you're mad that a Democrat has (yet again) been caught in a sex scandal. Oh that you wish she was a Republican!
