I'd like to think people's attitude of infidelity being a fault in the marriage or in the betrayed spouse is just plain ignorance. The media, movies, books, Gossip and reality TV reinforce this perception. WS's use this perception to explain their affair and people relate to cuz they have seen it in a movie.
"Oh, His needs weren't being met...poor guy had to find a girlfriend. Just like Bridges of Madison Co!"
"Yeah, her H was a tyrant. She had to find Love somewhere. I saw it on Lifetime."
"WS and OW are really good people in a bad situation. Too bad it happened TO THEM" !!
We need a new thread on "dumb things people have said to me after exposure"!!!
"If you strike me down, I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine!" 1st thread
