Once upon a time, I had a very dear friend who lived nearby. We spent tons of time together, she and I, watching our children play and drinking wine (us, not our children. What kind of parents do you think we are, anyway?). Her husband traveled a lot for business and she and I got to be great friends.
One day I was driving home from work and happened to see something odd on her front lawn. It was the type of sign that a realtor puts in someone's yard when they are trying to sell their house. The sign wasn't there, but the sign holder was. So I went to my friend's house and asked 'what the fuck?' She wanted to tell me, but couldn't find the right words. It seems her husband was being transferred to another region, 6 hours away from where we lived, and she just didn't now how to tell me. We cried together, and drank more wine, because......wine. And when the day came for them to leave, we cried some more.
We've continued to keep in touch because we love each other, and not long after they moved, she called to tell me that she was expecting another baby. I was beyond thrilled for her. She called me not long after that to tell me that the baby she was carrying had Downs Syndrome. I was shocked and we talked at length. She said she and her husband had come to terms with it and that they would be fine.
Flash forward to just a few months after the baby was born. She discovered that her loving husband was actually a cheating bastard with an Ashley Madison account. And he had had that account for quite some time. He had set up dates all over the country, every time he would travel. He was getting busy all over the place and made full use of his Ashley Madison account. Needless to say she divorced his sorry ass and I can only hope he's nursing a scorching case of herpes. I also hope he's sweating his ass off over this scandal. He, and every man who cheats on his wife, deserves whatever shit that is about to hit his fan.
I have a huge problem with the invasion of privacy. I'm not going to defend anything or anybody. But how this is going down is equally as wrong as the horrible acts committed by the men and some women on that awful site.
ReplyDeleteThat being said, I hope some of the people revealed are politicians against gay marriage. That will make me equally satisfied as you will be at cheaters getting caught.
Looks like you're getting your wish .... not that he's a politician exactly but Josh Duggar was outspokenly anti gay marriage. I sure do feel sorry for his wife and four kids ...
DeleteAs a cheated on wife, I definitely share your sentiment. Let's not forget though that there are plenty of cheating women on that site (and elsewhere) as well. They deserve herpes too!!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you, although I'm usually all for protecting privacy etc, but if you get ousted for cheating then you shouldn't cheat in the first place. I just don't see the point of cheating. If you're unhappy with your partner/spouse, then leave, even if you have children. Far better to be honest than to lie and cheat. That's my opinion.
ReplyDeleteTWO WORDS- Josh Duggar.
ReplyDeletePeople who got caught cheating because of this are getting what they deserve. If you do the crime expect to do the time! Sooner or later they all get caught. Women and men too.
ReplyDeleteHuh. I agree and disagree. Anyone who cheats is a cheating scumbag for sure - BUT I also think don't think that exposing them is a healthy or productive way to deal with them (except for Josh Duggar, he deserves everything he gets). I'm torn because I think that a lot of people aren't cut out for monogamy, but society pressures them into settling down/doing the right thing, and this is the consequence. Plus, I think that cheating is often a symptom of a troubled relationship rather than the issue itself, so it's more complicated than straight up bad guys getting caught out.
