Anyone read the article on the couple who broke up both marriages and announced their own marriage in NY Times?

trashy, trashy, trashy. The moral of the story is that you can put lipstick on a pig, but you still have a pig!

I was watching the Today show this morning and when they showed that they were going to have these two people on, I changed the channel. AWFUL.

I saw a little bit on MSNBC/Morning Joe this morning and it was like gawking at a car accident, at first I was staring at it and then I shook my head and said what am I doing and changed the channel!

Definitely twisted! But remember, as long as they are happy, that's what's important! I don't think when you meet your maker he/she says, well you caused a lot of pain and heartache, but that doesn't matter because you made yourself happy!

If that were the case, there is a lot of bad behavior that could be justified in the world.

"We've had a lot of people tell us how brave we are to do this."

I don't think it's bravery, hun. It's actually the easy way out.

Maybe trying to save your marriage and raise your kids in a healthy environment would have been brave.

It's amazing what people will do once they have moral support from others... groupthink! If this other person thinks it's ok, it must be. Now you get validation from a handful of insane outsiders, and voila, no remorse.

.

There is nothing "brave" about shagging a married man and destroying the lives of 2 families of children in pursuit of some nookie. Nothing "brave" about adultery. It is cruel, putrid dishonesty and thoughtlessness. The children of these 2 scumbags will never be the same.

Also, since they both endorse adultery, they can both expect affairs in their own future. 95% of affairs ever make it to marriage, 70% of those end in divorce under 5 years for the very reasons that made the affair possible: dishonesty, thoughtlessness and selfishness.

trashy, trashy, trashy...

What they have taught their children is that anything is justified in the pursuit of happiness. What will she tell her daughter when she comes home and says giving blow jobs on the bus "makes her happy?" What will she tell her son when he says heroin "makes him happy?"

She won't be able to say a word... Not a word.

They have taught these kids that anything is justified and that it is ok to lie and cheat and take your panties off with married men. What great role models... sick

Oh my!
Imagine sometime in the future when one of them meets yet another person they tell "I am in love with you." to.
Just imagine.
How civilized and brave would that be for the other?

LOL.

Sigh.

"Dear, I've decided to be brave and leave you for yet another partner I've fallen in love with. Please accept these divorce papers as my last brave gesture to you.

It's too bad you were not brave enough to find another lover before I did. Maybe you will find one soon, and can display your bravery by abandoning them also."

What incredible garbage these two are. I do hope the media follows them and researches them as there fantasy decompensates over the next few years. But will there next failure in marriage make the Today Show?
How pathetic that this is prime media news eiter in writing or in digital video.

Guess the WH must have been concerned about his image, day late and a dollar short! The WW is still sticking by the whole media roll-out...gross!

That second link is great! The BH mentions that it wasn't all so on the up and up as whitewashed.
I guess waywards really truly believe the fairy tales they tell and convince each other that if no one knows the truth...it doesn't exist.


In wayward logic......if no one sees them 'doing it' with each other while married to another.....they can rewrite to make their relationship more romantic and less horrible.

I love it! Well the part about how the xWH actually is second-guessing his choice to reveal his "love" to the world in that article.

Of course we know there was no sex before the affairage right? (wink wink).

And notice those sweet, poor kids in the pic. Not one of them is smiling, and the older girl seems to have a scowl on her face. I feel those poor kids were forced to even be there. It just is a very sad photograph.

I sure hope the dad (xh) takes his xWW to court over the fact nobody asked him if he would want his poor children's photos in the pathetic article.

It's so funny. The XWH is now worried this might hurt his career. I bet they just had their first fight! He regrets the article, she-beast does not. I guess the horey-mooon is over.

Bravo to the xBH who said this about his xww's trashy article:


Her ex-husband, unsurprisingly, feels differently. "People lie and cheat and steal all the time. That's a fact of life. But rarely does a national news organization give them an unverified megaphone to whitewash it," Bob Ennis told Bercovici on Tuesday. He said he wasn't "contacted or interviewed or given any opportunity to opine on any of it, including having my 7-year-old daughter's picture in the paper."

Ennis, described by Bercovici as "a media executive who has held high-level jobs at IAC and News Corp.," continued: "The idea that they'd fact-check a style story � I don't think that's incumbent on them. But there's a difference between that and publishing a choreographed, self-serving piece of revisionist history for two people who are both members of the media industry."
