I just needed to vent. It has nothing to do with skin color, opportunities, child prodigies, or if your mother nursed you. He made vows. He broke them....repeatedly....over a long period of time. The majority of married people keep their vows. He chose not to.....period. Just ventin' the victim talk. -Greg

The true indicator is whether he's sorry for what he did and how it affects people or that he's sorry he got caught. If the former, then I hope he earns his wife's love/respect and eventually the public's. Helluva way to grow up. -Greg

If you've never made bad decisions that hurt people you loved, just say so. |
