I notice that in recent years, there have been a few scandals involving high-profile celebrities' affairs. First was former US President Bill Clinton with White House intern Monica Lewinsky, then David Beckham with Rebecca Loos, and the most recent one was Jude Law and his children's nanny Daisy Wright.
What struck me was not the affairs. Afterall, I was told that 9 out of 10 men will stray. My friends all said that one can only trust a guy 90%, the other 10% should just ignore and shut both eyes. What I am concerned about is that if those Other Women did not spill the beans and tell all in the first place, would anyone ever find out? What is the purpose of all these "kissing and telling" anyway?
Perhaps these women were bitter over being dumped so casually so wanted to bank on the celebrity status of the men, thus decided to disclose all skeletons in the men's closets to make a quick buck and gain attention to themselves. Afterall the best news to sell are those of celebrities' dirty laundry. That is why I really pity those in the entertainment industy. It is not enough that they make mistakes like any other human, but to have everyone scrutinize their private lives and "tsk tsking" them? It is other people's private affairs, so I do not think they like the media to blow up everything when they are already hurt enough.
I feel that those women who were involved in the matter should not kiss and tell. Do they not feel ashamed being the Other Woman and breaking up the couple in the first place already? Would it be helping their case by splashing all the "sensational" news out? It would not make a guy go back to them and would only cause hurt to others. Besides even if the guy dumped his wife / fiancee / girlfriend for the Other Woman, can she feel secure with him? Afterall, if he can leave someone for her, who is to say he will not leave her for yet another woman?
I always feel a woman shall always maintain her dignity and not be involved with a man who is already attached or married. I have been in the position where I had to try to hold on to my guy with the suspicion of another woman, so I know exactly what the feeling is like. You would not want your own family broken up, so do not do the same to others. If things blow out of proportion, chances are you will not be able to live with yourself and your conscience will never be at rest. It is just not worth it being the Other Woman.

9 out of 10? That's a bit high no?
Every blog has its day
POST NO. 1: THE MEANING OF A BLOG ------ It's difficult to discern true emotion over the Internet, ... In a one-week span, he described in detail a 45-minute tour of Newport Beach's new Mormon temple and a 27-mile bicycle tour of Costa Mesa.
Hi, you got a neat blog here! I've already bookmarked it.
I have a hunter site/blog. It covers all hunter related stuff.
Come and check it out if you get time :-)
well... it takes 2 to tango.
ultimately, if both parties are able to take the "affair" in the right spirit (i.e. irresponsible fling) then who's to say what's right and what's wrong?
it's only when non-players try to play that it gets dirty and complicated!
cheerios!

Ole Wolvie : The 9 out of 10 is what I have been told. Not sure if it is really true though, although I do believe that a lot of men can't really be trusted 100%.
Anonymous 1 and 3 : Thanks for yuor vote of confidence! Will check out the sites.
Anonymous 2 : You may be right in the sense that if both parties take the fling in the right spirit, then things can still go smoothly. But in all honesty, who will not be hurt to find out your partner has been cheating on you?
