OOO I love hot, controversial topics! Because there are so many obvious factors that people just don't bother to touch on. I think the majority of America has been in a cheating situation in one way or another, whether they've been cheated on, done the cheating, watched a parent cheat, been there for a bestie who's been cheated on, etc. etc. I'd like to think that the majority of the population knows and feels that cheating is wrong, but if that were the case, then why do 50% of women and 60% of men still do it? This just doesn't make sense to me. And then there are the schmucks who take them back. Yup, I said it. Schmucks. I've been one of these schmucks on more than one occasion so I can say that.
Sienna Miller is one of America's Crown Schmucks right now. She hasn't "confirmed" a reconciliation with Jude Law, but she's certainly allowing him to come close enough without clawing his eyeballs out. Especially after being publicly humiliated and made to look like a fool, you'd think that urge would never go away. At least for me, it wouldn't. I'm amazing at holding grudges, it's impressive how easily I can scrub people from my life. I felt so sorry for this girl and was actually pretty proud of her leaving his cheating ass the first time. He's pretty, I'm sure that wasn't an easy choice. If he does it again, I'll be damned if I give her a second thought of pity. This is part of why Sandra Bullock is my idol! Jesse cheated on her and she'd have NONE of it! As we say in Texas, (and we all know she's an implanted Texan! Yeehaw!) Adios, amigo! Sandy is HILARIOUS but she strikes me as the type of woman you just don't cross. I really wonder how the conversation went when she approached him with this bit of "news." Oh Em Gee... Fly. Wall. Pay lots of money.
Which brings me to my oh-so-popular, everyone-wants-to-know (insert sarcastic laughter here) opinion on cheating. I made the decisions to go back to these men after the fact because I felt in my heart that it was the right thing to do. There were a lot of factors that went into it for me, like how long we'd been together, if behaviors had been building up to it, blah blah blah. If they had done it again, the person I'd have had to hate for it would be me. My mama raised me right- fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. Bottom line- take a cheater back, accept the risk. If you get hurt again, it's your bad. I love love LOVE that line from Pay it Forward where Helen Hunt hides in her son's room after realizing her ex-husband is still an abusive prick. "I think I made a mistake!" with very obvious OOPS undertones! Not cheating by any means, but a very similar sensitive subject. We'll go there another day. She very clearly took responsibility for her choice and didn't look for sympathy from anyone. Take notes, people. Detailed ones. If you're gonna give bad behavior a second chance, do everyone a favor and learn to be strong enough to stand on your own two feet and make the tough decision when it happens again.
