Hotel in the French Quarter: $250. Fancy jewelry: $1000. Selling cheating wife's stuff while she is out of town: Priceless.

Some Apples get rotten.

So are all Apples bad because of that? Or should we now start calling Apples Oranges because some Apples get rotten?

Of course not.

What would kids think of Marriage seeing something public and pathetic like this. Not to mention the 45% divorce rate.

But heaven forbid a same sex couple would get married, that would be the end.

And this is what your rant is really about now isn't it?

SimpleLife · Apr 13, 2005, 08:46 PM

The guy reacts like a total jerk.

Seems like a good reason for the wife to run to someone else.

Good for her.

Or the husband could be totally nice and loyal, and finally just couldn't take it anymore and went nuts.

i agree with you

whats better? parents or f*cked up parents or living in a orphanage?

or grow up fine, and then have your president send you to war for no reason and die.

these people need to find a cause more worthy of their time

Sosa · Apr 13, 2005, 09:32 PM

This is the kind of low class crap you see in those morning talk shows. If the wife is cheating she is betraying the marriage. Depending on the situation, some emotional response may be excusable. However, selling her stuff in public is cheap.

I actually think what he is doing is worse than cheating! I can deal with cheating, but when you mess with my property I'm going for your neck!

Oh, and he is also publicizing the whole torpid affair. This is definitely worse.

I think this makes the guy look horrible too. I actually think what he is doing is worse than cheating! I can deal with cheating, but when you mess with my property I'm going for your neck!

So material things are more important than honesty and treating people the right way?

But technically she is not doing anything to her husband. She is out having an affair, which only indirectly affects him. He has confiscated her property. Affairs happen all the time. Some couples have sex with others on purpose. Stealing your partner's property and selling it in public with aim of creating embarrasment is not common.

It does appear worse to me.

No I would say it directly effects him. Such things leave scars that stay there for decades.

Material things can be replaced. Emotional scars don't heal that quickly.

Ya she cheats on so according to the bible I guess it is ok to steal and sell stolen property.

Nope, not at all.

I haven't said either party wasn't at fault.

Obviously they both are.

I hope you didn't hurt your knee.

And stop being such a fanboy with all your "waah I hate religion" crybabying.

Agreed about emotial scars. However it should be forseeable to partners today that your signifcant other may cheat on you in someway. You can precuations against this, like not believing anyone is perfect or free from temptation, or perhaps accepting extramarital sex. Then you can decrease your emotional attachment, become more stoic, and less likely to suffer emotional injury.

I'm not sure emotional injuries are a direct effect, but this analysis seems complicated. Property can be seen as an extension of your person (your labor) but your wife is not your property any longer.

On the other hand, It is not forseeable that your partner will attempt to humiliate you with your own property. You can't really prepare for this, as partnerships imply sharing property.

I don't think anyone would have any emotional scares by having their husband publicly rob them.

Neither person in this case is right.

I don't think any one is worse than the other.

However, it could be said, had she not cheated, she would have still had her stuff.

reap and sow and stuff.

Of course he will get payed back too.

Expect a big brick in his car window I am sure.

Ever see War of the Roses?

Severed Hand of Skywalker · Apr 13, 2005, 09:53 PM

What a wonderful example to set for others and children. This is what Marriage is all about.

If they do something to do public revenge is totally mature and justified.

So lets think about it.

Would you feel worse if

A. You were cheated on by someone you obviously love and care for.
B. You cheated on someone that obviously loves and cares for you and you no you did bad, and that persons sells a bunch of your stuff.

While I would be pissed that I had my stuff sold, I really don't see any emotional scars being left.

Unless of course I had emotional attachments to inanimate objects.

And if that is the case, I would say having them sold is the least of your problems.

I agree they are bad. And no, this isn't what marriage is about.

Must you always be such an exaggerating drama queen?

Severed Hand of Skywalker · Apr 13, 2005, 09:59 PM

This man is a total loser and a drama queen. No wonder she is cheating on him, I wouldn't want to be so worthless either.

Well that says a lot about you then I guess.

If you don't like a person, leave. Don't stay with them and cheat.

That just makes you the bad one.

Having your wife cheat on you is embarrassing and since she's doing it with another person, it's public as well. What goes around, comes around.

OreoCookie · Apr 14, 2005, 05:37 AM

You don't make stuff like this public. Having your wife cheat on you is obviously not a pleasant experience, but making it public is pathetic.

SimpleLife · Apr 14, 2005, 07:01 AM

I might add that:

1) he seemed to have been all for the "b-curious" experience (he got pictures) but now that he seems to not be part of it, it is not OK anymore?

2) For some men, Manhood is more important than anything else; the less secure they are in their gender identity, the more the drama. His wife goes away with another woman, his life is ruined. Yeah, right.

3) The most upsetting part of this is the emphasis of his action; going on eBay, he could just have sold the jewels. But that was not enough; she has to lose face: the tape of her message (from the answering machine) to him is for sale!

4) There is so much organisation in his revenge and it is going so overboard, I can't believe this was not noticeable before; I am certain she noticed some of that.

5) She cheated, there is no excuse for that, unless they agreed to some openess in their mariage a priori. Otherwise, mature adults can get to the same conclusion; their mariage was a mistake so far, and unless they want to work at it together, they should do what civilized people do: agree on the disagreement and part ways.

Zimphire · Apr 14, 2005, 07:03 AM

Simple while I agree with #1, his wife didn't go away with a woman. That was another incident.

She took off with another guy.

Not that it makes any different. Cheating is cheating.

Of course it is.

BUt that still does not justify such an extreme reaction. The guy has issues and needs help.

Zimphire · Apr 14, 2005, 07:14 AM

Well I would have to see the whole history of events between the two to judge that.

OreoCookie · Apr 14, 2005, 08:40 AM

You don't need to know the whole history to know what he does is immature and childish.

andi*pandi · Apr 14, 2005, 08:46 AM

folks, we only have his word for it that a) he even has a wife, and b) she's off cheating. If a) she's going to come back from her business trip and find all her stuff missing, cue righteous indignation; or b) he has no wife, he had a friend pose for pictures, it's all a farce.

This isn't like the guy who sold his ex's wedding dress--that was truly funny.

sanity assassin · Apr 14, 2005, 08:47 AM

Don't you love the whole Christian ethic of not pointing the figure at others? You know, the whole not judging others, highlighting their faults, etc.

Or maybe I'm confusing that with Islam, or Buddhism.

To me there is a difference between pointing a fault out to someone and judging them on it.

I would like for someone to highlight my faults...maybe it would make me a better person.

For a Christian, you are supposed to be forthright in telling ppl when they are messing up, but at the same time not judge them based on that.

The non-judging part is real hard at times.

I'm not married yet though.

Exactly. All I see here from certain Christians, are the pointing out a person's faults to everyone but the actual person concerned, the complete opposite of what you're saying.

By all means tell someone when they are at fault, and don't judge, but what do you call this when a Christian gossips about someone to the point they are judging them?

Not very Christian in my book.

Well yeah thats not something that a Christian, or anyone for that matter, should practice.

If I have a problem with someone, I try to confront them and not go around behind their back about it.

I am not sure how you feel about Christians, but I'll tell you this, anyone who claims to be free of sin and thinks they are perfect is dead wrong. I am a Christian and I'll be the first to tell you; I am far from perfect. But I strive to be a better person today than I was yesterday.
