Does anyone believe in the sanctity of marriage anymore? Seriously, people left and right are cheating on each other, physically and emotionally, and it disgusts me.
Ok first, I'm (mostly) referring to Hollywood and the realm of public personalities. Every day there's a story/release of the dirty sext sent (Tiger), mistress/artist (snort) defends her position (Jessie James), love child and the campaign affair details (Edwards) (umm, love child? since when is an affair love?), or a declaration of your soul mate after 20 years of marriage (SC governor).
The mistress/boy toy can claim they didn't know person was married, but we all know that's bull shit. The paparazzi follows down to C-list stars, there is no such thing as a secret. Everyone's guilty in this, and the only thing the media does is pour kerosene on the fire, encourages book deals left and right and creates an even bigger media storm. I get scandals sell and are riveting, but why is there even a scandal in the first place?
The whole situation is wrong and unfair to everyone, not just those directly involved in the affair. What about the people left in the wake of destruction? The wronged spouse, the children placed on opposing battle sides, the extended family, business partners and mutual friends? What about them? Who picks up their pieces? And then the guilty party makes a heartfelt apology to all those they wronged, but they can shut it. You knew what you were doing, you wanted to know what you cold get away with. You knew you were/are still married, you said those vows at some point in time.
I know there are good people out there, who don't stray. And there are great marriages that stay true to their vows because they mean them. But they don't get publicity. Instead, we hear dirty details and the stuff that makes our tongues wag. All the while, wanting to vomit at the same time.
