No worries about this astronut - she'll make lots of money on the book deal and inevitable made-for-TV movie. This will be after she makes a public tearful apology and tells us she's going to rehab for some addiction of course.
I'm sure her lawyer is roadmaping this out for her, after plea-bargaining the charges down.

Noodle said, " I think it is a brick wall of ugly reality...that previously sane, intelligent, disciplined, accomplished people act like PSYCHOS in affairs."
That describes me to a tee. Me too, lifechoice. At least, it describ ed me as I was during the affair. Thank you for being brave enough to admit it... {...and thank God I've been given the gift of rebuilding my integrity...}

WAT, I followed your link, read your words, and tried to post myself. To All: do you think it would be worth it to love-bomb the blog with our own comments on affairs, emotional and physical, and the insanity that accompanies them? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

No, I'm not coming out of MB retirement. But I knew there'd be a thread going about this, so consider this a "drive by" posting. The point about this woman's behavior being typical affair stuff is obvious to MB'ers. Hellllllooooooo Media and NASA!! Where have you been living, under a rock? I recommend each of you find a Blog discussing this story (search Google Blogs > astronaut + affair) and make a "contribution". Here's mine > Blog Comment. Look in the comments. WAT I'm new to this board, but I do also visit another infidelity site where this situation is being discussed. I also belong to a few personal interest, hobby-type boards and none of this has been mentioned at all. My H and I were discussing this mourning that unless a person's life is touched by infidelity it doesn't mean a whole lot to them. Think back to where we all were before infidelity touched us, would you even be giving this a second thought? I have to admit I would pass the story right up.

I KNEW there would be postings on this -- consider it another drive-by.
First of all, it wasn't an affair, it was an "inappropriate friendship." We've all seen enough of those on here. The MM did not break up his marriage over her, according to his family.
Secondly, even without this, the woman was apparently under an enormous amount of pressure in a high-stress job (about the highest imaginable) and three kids. Finally, she had a crack-up over a (quite possibly) unrequited crush.
But that does point out how much havoc can be caused by a one-sided emotional affair.
I feel bad for everyone involved. When she finally pulls herself together, she'll see how much she lost for so little.

And, by the way, I can easily see myself in her shoes. I came pretty close to some whacko stuff myself. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Plan B, for protecting me from myself!

Hi A.M. - have to disagree, though. Some news sources are quoting the OM's X-MIL as saying that Nowak and the OM "spent a lot of time together" and that Nowak "broke my daughter's heart". The OM was divorced in 2005 and the X-MIL made it sound like it was a direct result of this man's affair with Nowak. It sure sounded like an affair to me. His marriage ended because of it. More recently, the police were called to Nowak's house because neighbors heard what sounded like dishes smashing. Nowak and her husband separated a few weeks ago. I think this was just another workplace affair and the WW couldn't handle it when her OM started "cheating" on her. Mulan

WH cheated in corporate workplace for many years. He moved out and filed in summer 2008.

I read the other post on this subject, Mulan. I stand corrected. Apparently, my information was old or limited.
