Regardless it’s out of your control.

I have listened to this this afternoon. So that's it then, just have to accept that how it is and they can treat anybody just the way they want and use the reason that they are acting on emotions?

I'm not being harsh, and I can perfectly understand that is exactly what's happening but I can't accept, for some reason, that they are willing to destroy other people's lives in the way that they do. It's awful and because they are women, it's acceptable?

I don't suppose we blokes can do anything about it apart from try to pick up our shattered lives and go on the best we can.

I'm probably speaking wrongly here, but I would absolutely never go out to knowingly destroy somebody else's life, especially the person who I'm married to and have had a good relationship with for 19 years. To lie, deceive and steal for one purpose - sex, basically - is an awful thing to do to somebody that you have told that you love, even up to the week before she left, just to give me the impression things were fine? Please correct me if I'm wrong here (I probably am.... :-) )
