Agreed. So she was lazy at times, didn’t wear makeup (horrors!), liked to fuck around with ‘art’, smoked pot, tried to get her troubled daughter help.

Fair enough. It’s just enraging that she says this stuff and some people will use it to say, ‘See! Dress in the wrong clothes and you’re asking for it!’

And? She’s telling women that wearing high heels or being drunk or dressing a certain way is inviting rape. She’s obviously thinking that these things can stop rape but she is wrong. Unfortunately she’s getting increasingly defensive and it’s disturbing. Perhaps she should instead listen to what people are trying to…

Every time Chrissie Hynde gets all butt hurt at the criticism of her statements she says, ‘But I’m only talking about my experience!’

Hahaha... I once, after a breakup, cut my very long hair very short. It was something along the lines of a bad Mia Farrow circa Rosemary’s Baby. When I went to the hairdresser the next day he said, “Well, I’ll do what I can.”

I grew out my bangs for a few years. Hated the way I looked. So I chopped them back in and have never looked back. My bangs rock.

Just read that story somewhere else. Cannot even believe people behave this way. Ok, I believe it but wow. Openly and without shame. Stupid fuckers.

And you’re making comments about obnoxious, self-righteous assholes? Huh.

You might be right. I just find she leaves a bad taste in my mouth. There’s something about her attitude that sets me off.

I agree. I don’t think I’ve heard of anyone going anything but batshit upon discovering. And while a few marriages limped along for a few years after almost all of them ended, either right away or after some time. It seems that old trust thing gets irrevocably destroyed and it’s near impossible to gt it back.

I’m so glad I’m not the only one thinking that. I was surprised by her picture because it was so fan girl-ish.

Everyone has to deal with infidelity in a way with which they’re comfortable. I will say, though, that until you’ve faced it personally in a long-term relationship involving kids, family, and various other sunk costs it’s hard to predict how you will react, mainly because discovering an affair is a sudden, jolting,…

Actually, they don’t. On average people live 3-5 years longer than 100 years ago, so statistically nothing.

I’m really happy to read how you handled it. You weren’t happy, you tried to do what you could to address the problems within the framework of the marriage and when it didn’t work you divorced respectfully. And I agree, I’d rather someone leave me than make a fool of my by cheating. Few things worse than being lied to…

Things are much better, thanks! It was the most horrible thing I’ve ever gone through, though, bar none, mainly because of the total mindfuck of realising that all those ‘happy’ times were taking place while he had a piece on the side, and that he blew of kid events to be with a side piece or didn’t get home in time…

Jezebel sure has a hard on for this show. Am I missing the advertorial tag?

Seriously? That was the dialogue? I might have to watch this for the unintentional laughs .

Enough with the Louis CK rumours. That was on Gawker and absolutely nowhere else. If I recall they took the story from some forum posting and through their amazing powers of deduction pinned it on CK. This is not some Cosby type rumour that’s been around for decades. This was one posting on a board somewhere.

You’re right, I misread your comment and thought you were pulling out the old ‘but people live longer’ argument.

I live in Europe and you’re wrong about France. While in some circles it’s considered ‘acceptable’ it’s the same as in certain circles in many countries. Divorcing due to infidelity is extremely common in France. There may be this myth about the French not caring about infidelity but they most definitely do.
