Infidelity

The South Carolina governor has some more splaining to do.

by Tom Miller Jun 29, 7:00pm

Stop me if you've heard this one before. Here goes, there's a very charming governor. And one day, this man (an up-and-comer in his political party) decides to stray from his wife. Things were swimming right along and BAM he up and gets caught. This time around there were no hookers involved (nor any Arkansas highway patrolmen). There was just a guy who ditched his security detail, made up some cockamamie story about hiking, forgot to transfer power to his Lieutenant Governor and took the express train* to Argentina.

As you likely know, this guy's name is Mark Sanford. He's … Read More

adultery revenge

Spouses of unfaithful husbands and wives have used a bevy of retaliation methods to enact revenge on their spouse's lovers. Snow globes to the lover's head, per Richard Gere's character in Unfaithful. Penning bestselling memoirs, appearing on Oprah yet never calling a husband's mistress by name, per Elizabeth Edwards. Bob Rohrman, a minor Midwestern celebrity known for owning 26 car dealerships through Illinois and Indiana, has decided to use the legal system.

Rohrman is suing his wife Ronda's lover, a plastic surgeon. The auto magnate claims he and his third wife had been happily married since 2002 until the unnamed … Read More

Maria Belen Shapur and South Carolina governor already in hot water; e-mails don't help.

Following a long line of notable affairs—A-Rod and Madonna, Eliot Spitzer and an escort, and Jon and Kate's various trysts—South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford recently revealed he's been having an affair with a woman in Argentina.

Of course, this is after Gov. Sanford (previously only noteworthy for refusing Pres. Obama's stimulus funds) disappeared and then reappeared, claiming to have gone hiking on the Appalachian Trail. Unfortunately for the family-friendly governor, his cover story happened to highlight Naked Hiking Day. Man, some people just can't catch a break. Read: Why I Cheated

How much do you really need to know?

I still remember the day I walked into my house only to be confronted by my entire family staring at me like I was an alien as my mother shrieked through her tears, "Thank god you're home—I thought you were dead!!!"

Um, what?

Upon closer inspection, I noticed she was holding a familiar looking book. My journal. I was 17 and, like many teenagers, having a tough time of it. I didn't have anyone I particularly trusted to talk to about my life, so my journal was my confidant. I didn't need to filter my … Read More

According to a new study cited in The New York Times, infidelity is on the rise. The study also concluded that young women are closing the gap on what has largely been thought of as bad behavior for men—apparently, nearly as many women are cheating on their partners and spouses. This did not surprise me in the slightest—a large number of women I know in my age group have cheated on boyfriends. So why do women cheat? What are the circumstances that led to their infidelity? And how did they feel about it in the aftermath? After the jump, 13 … Read More

Kate Gosselin In Counseling

Jon and Kate Gosselin are seeing a marriage counselor, says The National Enquirer, and we can't say we blame them. How the couple managed to raise 8 children together without regular respites on a therapist's couch is beyond us. And plus, there's all those swirling rumors about Jon cheating on Kate with a 23-year-old and Kate getting cozy with her personal bodyguard. Heck, they should be seeing 3 marriage counselors by now.

Advice on how not to be, or date, an overlapper.

Woman and two guys

When I asked an old friend why she hadn't just broken up with her live-in boyfriend instead of beginning a messy affair with a married neighbor, she snapped, "Don't be stupid—nobody leaves a relationship without having another one in place."

Oh, please, I corrected her. Of course they do. People fall out of love or get angry and leave without a safety net all the time. But as I thought back, I realized that for as long as I knew her, she never had. Even when she pretty much hated the one she was with, she stuck it out until … Read More
