Author Wandaland Posted April 10, 2011 Author Share Posted April 10, 2011 Exactly, I just care about other people. My heart goes out to anyone who is being betrayed by their spouse, who is suppose to be loyal and trustworthy. Link to post Share on other sites

My heart goes out to anyone who is being betrayed by their spouse, who is suppose to be loyal and trustworthy. When dealing in grey areas like this how on earth can you care so much when... A) You dont know the people (BOTH) involved and..... B) You only have one half of a story at best. ..... I dont buy it. Admit it...you want to see a train wreck and its always best when its someone else. Thats people....thats why if theres an accident at the side of the raod traffic is backed up for hours. They all just gotta slow down and look and then get along their merry way. Edited April 11, 2011 by StoneCold Link to post Share on other sites

They all just gotta slow down and look and then get along their merry way. Can I ask you something SG? Do you personally know the people in this thread that feel the need to judge this man for his actions? Do you know the exact details of their stories, or lives. Why these LSers believe whatever they want to believe? Do you think that you have the right to judge these people's views, much in the same way that they have judged the MM's actions? Especially since you have always suggested that we keep an open mind and understand every angle of a story, the story here being their views and opinions. Not attacking you, just interested. Anyway, to stay on topic, I thought the article was fairly interesting. I suppose it is just one of the many complexities of human relationships, romantic or otherwise...

But really, nobody here can change the views of anybody else on this forum, correct? Would you agree that it is up to the individual to take the views and opinions gleaned from this site and use them for their own self improvement? Comments like this...

They all just gotta slow down and look and then get along their merry way. ...seem to contradict your own philosophy. You're also simplifying a complex issue(their views). Being overly dismissive and judgemental of either viewpoint is the antithesis if mutual understanding, right? On another note, this thread has become extremely off-topic, 16 pages of flame wars, and now we're dealing with armchair philosophy...

Really, I just think it stinks when someone is so obviously hurting another. BTW when there is a traffic accident I do look....at the car. I am very curious to see what got smashed, I don't look for smashed humans and would feel very deeply affected if I saw one. Link to post Share on other sites

As I said...just giving them a taste of their own in order to perhaps put things into perspective.....and sometimes you gotta push a bit. No nobody can change the views of others but I do think it would be helpful to see all sides which is something you dont really get around here.

That's funny, 'cause you only see one side, and that is the side where people can screw over whoever they want because there MUST be some sort of justifiable reason they are behaving in an anus-like manner. It could NEVER be merely due to the fact that they are behaving in such a manner because that's just who they are. "Screw everyone else, 'cause I want what I want when I want it."

If this thread is offensive to you, how about you just don't read it?

This thread started with an interview with a guy who cheats; it was started to incite a broad discussion about infidelity......a large part of that being the morality of infidelity. I agree that we can do without the venom but a subject like this tends to get charged and I would say we are right on topic. Link to post Share on other sites
