Silly_Girl Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Oh my but does not that prove the lengths of decpetion involved in affairs? Some people can even fool the media. Unbelievable.
Summer Breeze Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 I could care about them. I was using an example of something I read. You should read some about glen cambells wife and his fight right now. He is going on tour!! He does have a hard time remembering all his words sometimes. I do know. I know because the tabloids would have a field day if either one of these women were playing around. Ohhh like Tiger Woods. Now that man can compartmentalize. A spectacular wife and children at home and he went out schlubbing with anyone and then happily crawed into bed with his gorgeous wife. They didn't have a field day till they found out. It's all nice and quiet until it isn't. They looked every inch the perfect couple and no one would have ever suspected. I hope Glen's wife treats him like gold and I have no reason to think she isn't but I also won't blindly believe what I'm being fed. I'll assume it's the truth but I won't get all high and mighty and put anyone on a pedestal from what's fed to me in the press.
David Cain Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 It was actually my late husband who discussed this with me when we were first married 33 years ago. If this is an attempt to justify having an affair, it's a feeble one. You never stated this earlier in the thread until you were "confronted" about it. And even if that conversation did happen, why would you even follow along with it while he has a terminal illness? And wasn't your affair partner married with a family?
Silly_Girl Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 So in a nutshell, you will classify everyone as behaving poorly rather than all being well and happy? Maybe that is why you have chosen such a path? It's normal in your world, frame of mind? Hey do me a favour- show where she said those things?
NoIDidn't Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 This is off-topic, but I'm confused why some posters are attacking kristi for posting what she feels about celebrities and acting as if she even said she knew them personally. It doesn't seem like there is anything to argue about. The number of times a celebrity OW is praised as if the OW here knew them personally isn't dissected as much. Kristi is posting about the substance of the articles, not the people personally.
Silly_Girl Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 I know these women are not out running around playing footsie with another man while their husbands suffer.

We know, until we know differently. Maybe Kristi has posts elsewhere where she's predicted who cheats and who doesn't.

Maybe Kristi has posts elsewhere where she's predicted who cheats and who doesn't. Its silly to dissect someone's posts based on something that you yourself don't know either. I'm thinking that if she said something you actually disagree with on the topic, talk about that. But saying she doesn't know the people in the tabloids? Duh? Isn't that the case for most of us here? It only makes those doing it look like they are looking for something to argue about. I'm done with the subject. Kristi was more on topic with her opinions about what she read than those that attacked her for not knowing the people personally. Of course, this is JMHO.
Silly_Girl Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 It's a recurring theme on the board. Someone talks about their situation and is scolded for not knowing something 'less they see it with their own eyes and hear it with their own ears. Then the next person says they know exactly what's going to happen next despite never even having met any of the parties. Kristi was mocking Gentle Girl using 'slebs as an example to shame Gentle Girl about her relationship, but what can she know of those people? Nowt really, so it's unfair and mean, in my view. That's the relevance, NID.
123321 Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 If this is an attempt to justify having an affair, it's a feeble one. If this is an attempt to justify <bad behavior>, it's a feeble one. See how that works? There are a ton of ways to destroy a relationship but people get hung up on this one as if it's magical. Why not the outrage at withholding sex or constant public ridicule or any number of things people do that destroy the relationship?
Gentlegirl Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 They are posting here to "get us". We are the bad ones, they are the good ones.

There are a ton of ways to destroy a relationship but people get hung up on this one as if it's magical. Why not the outrage at withholding sex or constant public ridicule or any number of things people do that destroy the relationship? Pretty sure that people do get p*ssed when their SO witholds sex or mocks their partner. It's a relationship killer and it isn't treated as a positive thing, as far as I'm aware. As for the drama around affairs. Simple. It doesn't solve any problems in the actual relationship, and it makes the WS's self-entitlement issues crystal clear. Anyone here think differently? "Baaaww, she doesn't have sex with me anymore so I'm going to sleep around." Same logic that kids like to use. They are posting here to "get us". We are the bad ones, they are the good ones. I agree with that. Mindless demonisation doesn't solve anything.

Why not the outrage at withholding sex or constant public ridicule or any number of things people do that destroy the relationship? But people doing those things in their relationships is nobody's business but their own. See how that works? Allow people to destroy their relationships without jumping in and helping accelerate it. That they are destroying their relationship is not our business as we shouldn't even be party to it. Knowing that someone is destroying their relationship is not a justification for getting involved in the mess. As many here can testify, it will likely become something regretted.
Silly_Girl Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 Thank you noididn't. I seem to have a target. I feel as if I'm at a turkey shoot. Oh love, I was not mocking nor was I shaming. you all were making it out to be just grand that she went into the arms of another since her husband was ill and even grander that they had this discussion first. I was merely giving my thoughts on it. That I do not see it as grandiose and I used two examples of women who I thought were behaving exemplerary in this situation. I was giving my viewpoint. Shame, where do you see shame? Were you projecting? I was merely giving my thoughts too. Same thing.
waytogo Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 I just read the most touching article about glen cambell and his wife and his stuggle with alzheimers. She loves that man and is caring for him. The article was so heartfelt and I thought yup she would not be out running around ****ing someone else while he is home. I guess it takes a certain personality to be able to compartmentalize like that when one you are supposed to love is suffereing from a terrible disease and you are out partying it up with other men. I am happy glen has such a strong woman by his side that she is there, with him fully and not just thinking with her vajayjay. I wonder if christopher reeves wife was ****ing around. I doubt it. She had heart and compassion and was not that selfish, she stood by him. Respectfully Kristi, I don't see a comparison to Glen Campbell or Christopher Reeves to GG's sitch. GC can still tour. CR and his W could still have a baby, the natural way. CR could discuss raising the baby and all other aspects of their lives. If GC can still tour, he and his W can still interact as parties who still know each other. I do hope there is a medical breakthru for GC before he hits the decline where that is no longer possible. GG's H was past being able to interact or know her or able to be concerned of her decisions anymore. I believe there is a big difference.
Gentlegirl Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 I was merely giving my thoughts too. Same thing. I do believe that there are some people on here who feel that their mission is to teach , preach and judge the sinners of the world. They do tend to forget that Jesus was loving and saved a prostitute from being stoned to death."Let he who is without sin........ There is the odd one and very odd at that who reeks of venom and bitterness.... also here to get at the"fallen" ones. Some are having an identity crisis. I find the cornball crude manner some have of expressing their thoughts, to be quite abusive and calculated to offend. Have a good day, Gentlegirl.

He also told the prostitute to go forth and sin no more. He is loving toward all (we are more than blessed), but that does not give us a license to do it until we get sick of it and not expect any consequences. I don't know you situation or who you are talking about, but what I bolded is often not fully quoted. There is another portion to that scripture. You know...context and all.
waytogo Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 You know something? I've going to take a different angle and see where it ends up. Nowhere good probably. If you read this David, here's the deal. I'd like to converse with you. Unlike most of the other posters here, I'm going to show you a higher level of respect and civility. Why? Because I expect the same level from you in return. Sounds fair right? Why are you still posting on this thread? What do you stand to gain? I'm going to beat him to the punch. A typical JohnMKain, MHarris, JasonT, DKain response would be, "Why are you here? What do stand to gain? Not my words, just a prediction of what would have been expected from him. Now if any of his 4 personas or possibly a 5th is going to reply, he may just come up with something less predictable than all his former posts.

He's never had so much attention...
waytogo Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 Waffles & Silly, you 2 are killing me I confess, I missed the JMK connection. The rest? all on this thread alone? After multiple abuses that would only mean banned? There was no missing it!
Waffles Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 Are you his PR officer? He's never had so much attention... He doesn't need a PR officer. PR officers need him. I'd be curious to see his reply to my questions...

I wonder if he's been banned once again and mods are checking IP's at this point. If so, he may be looking for a local library to access and register as yet a new ID to say the same things as all previous posts.

Bored at work. I finished my work load a couple of hours early. This fills up some spare time. I don't gain anything. But you didn't give me a very detailed answer to my questions. Why do keep on talking to the posters here? What do you want them to say? Since Gentlegirl had the strength to share her story, why don't you do the same? You know, my husband had an affair too, so I'm not completely ignorant on this subject. I know how much it can hurt. Da'am. I left a chance for originality but we still got the predicted. *sigh*Patience...let's see where this goes. Edited July 22, 2011 by Waffles
