This picture particularly bothered me. How can he look at her so lovingly when he has been having an affair behind her back? What gut wrenching feelings Sandra must have felt, learning from her agent, that her husband had been cheating on her. If my husband ever did that, I would be sick to my stomach. I hope she leaves him, for good.
What a jerk! I guess he was just "doing a Tiger". Boys, keep your pants zipped once you are married. Mel Gibson is another one that has disappointed me.
It's not only the guys who are at issue here, the females who knowingly go after married men are just as despicable. Those women want the publicity and instant fame that they will get by exposing the cheating males. They don't care about the children they are hurting, they are slime. They don't care about destroying a family, destroying our societies very moral fabric. But it takes two to tango, both parties are equally guilty.
I have no respect for Hillary Clinton because she stayed with Bill, and it made her weak. She had a chance to make a forceful statement for women, to show leadership by refusing to put up with being made to look like a fool. She caved. She put her political ambitions before all else.
You don't have to be famous to have a failed marriage, it's just that the eyes of the world are on the famous people. They send a very negative message about marriage. Most people go to work, come home, cook supper and help the kids with their homework. We might not have any glamour in our lives, but we have stability, love and dependability.
No woman should stay in an abusive relationship, and that includes husbands cheating on their wives. Get out while you can Sandra, he's not worth it! If he has done it once, you can bet he will do it again. You will never be able to trust him ever again. Cheating is not cool, it's destructive .

How about the ones that have a kid with their mistress while pretending to be a 'family man' and a 'Christian'. They are the absolute worst!!!
We don't know the details of the "hollywood" relationship. Sandra is a successful person with a strong brand recognition.
I have read an article recently, movie production(s) and political campaigns share the same quicksand, pitfalls.
Not an excuse but similar interpersonal dynamics take place when people are joined at hip for months at a time and careers, millions at stake.
Long hours, stress, family not close, shared on a mutual goal in making a movie and winning a campaign. Both requiring working collaboratively together.
I don't think their is a statistical gender problem of male infidelity. These examples reinforce male-female dynamic.
In France a news report both French Pres/wife are having affairs. The Italian PM is potrayed as a verile playboy. The norms we accept may be less rigid in some countries, high profile position.
Trying to keep in mind the history (workforce changes), dynamics of the male-female relationship.
I agree with your concern of trust and self-respect.
There is, I think, something to be said about those who stick together through the toughest times.
I wouldn't blame anyone for leaving a relationship after infidelity. However, through personal life experience, I have been also been witness to marriage survival - not only just survival, but one that has gone on to thrive - and personally, I think it takes a lot of courage for a man or woman to stand up and fight for their marriage.
Notwithstanding Hillary, but CanadianSense has a point - we don't know the details of Sandra and Jesse, and maybe we shouldn't.
In the face of everyone telling you to give up, or walk away, I don't think it is a sign of weakness to stand up and say, 'Hell no, this is not happening and I am not becoming a statistic.'
I firmly believe that there are those out there who will never change - once a cheater, always a cheater. But there are also those who can change - they just have to want to.
Marriage is not always a cake-walk. Sometimes you have to decide to love a person, even if they don't deserve it. And sometimes you have to allow yourself to be loved, even when you don't think you're worthy.
John Edwards, for example, is total slime. Not only did he cheat, he cheated on his cancer-stricken wife, and he fathered a child. Then, to compound his slimy behaviour, he denied that the child was his and later admitted that the child was his. His wife, as far as I am concerned, is as low as he is. She stayed with him and stood by him even though she was the cuckolded wife. Now she has given him the boot but is also suing the guy who had the tape of John and his paramour. I have no respect for Elizabeth Edwards. None. And, I have to wonder how come she's still living - three years ago, she was at death's door and she sure looks healthy to me. And she has the energy to sue the other guy? The two of them are bottom-feeders.
As for Jesse James - never liked the guy. He reminds me of an unwashed beer-swilling fat boy who wears a t-shirt that says 'no fat chicks allowed'. But, unfortunately, there are women out there who are slutty and stupid enough to do the mambo with guys like him.
I agree except for one point - you should have included married women, too!
When my husband was still in the navy, a lot of the guys did their best to life up to the sailor stereotype, with a girl at every port. A lot of their wives were just as bad. Heck, one woman - who's husband was one of the few who *didn't* cheat on his wife - actually had her boyfriend move into their PMQ with her and their 5 yr old son while her husband was at sea for months at a time! Her husband found out when he came back and divorced her, but he was totally devasted.
Then there was the guy who's ship didn't sail when it was supposed to, so he came home - and found his wife already in bed with her boyfriend.
From what I've seen, cheating is every bit a gal thing as it is a guy thing.
