Interesting that he chose to cheat on his wife or that he cheated with their housekeeper of twenty years?

It's all about the convenience. If it was my husband, I would wonder how long they had been having the affair. Did it last the whole time? Not that I want to know that about Arnold.

I think with my husband, Who brought his girlfriend to the house. Stupid me. It is a thrill to screw right under our noses with the thought they are taking a chance of getting caught and don't. I think they love the thrill oh it all. Forget how the betrayal breaks you in two.Sand some people only think of themselves and their thrills.

You too barb? My first husband did the same thing. He also gave her the family car to drive when her car broke down - apparently the fact that I had no car to get to the store was of no interest to him. I was taking care of his 3 sons too - what a guy!!!

Yeah I hadn't a clue . he cleaned me out before I even knew he was running around. I was dumb, I trusted him.He had all the money stocks and bonds taken out and put some where . he bought a house with her and put it in her name. She died of cancer , I don't wish that on anyone. She always wanted to be friends with me but I wouldn't have it. Sorry it happened to you too Linda. It is hard thing to go through, fining out he wasn't the man you thought he was. It does something to ya.

I don't think much of any man who can't be a man stand up and say I don't love you anymore. It would hurt but not as much as being made a fool of. Betrayal is the worst.

I sure hear that barb - being had is very damaging to one's self-esteem I think. I"m sorry you went through that too no woman should be betrayed like that. Well actually no man either I guess.

My husband hid every asset we had together - bought a lot that was way too expensive and couldn't pay it off - had me sign a continuing guarantee - and then sent them to collect from me when I had nothing. Boy - there are some real jerks out there - you know?

This is disgusting and yes I have been there to. My thinking is if women would have respect for woman this kinda thing wouldn't be able to happen. What kind of woman would sleep with another womans husband in her house is a pig no less than he! Betrayal like that will take alot to get past! I wish Maria strength. SHe will come out on the other side battered but better. I saw a picture of Arny posing with her and I think they said Maria's youngest son. What ever happened to the vows you promise to keep?

Yeah, whatever happened to vows.....

My favorite line from my ex, "children are resilant". Well he doesn't have a clue about their true feelings about anything.... Sad, very very sad.

I don't think of Maria Shriver as a victim....

...she had to have known that this worthless peice of shyte.....

...was cabable of womanizing....

...he was called on it....before they married.....

.......so...

...as sad as it is....for the kids...and that's all I care about....

Shriver and Arnold, in my opinion.....

...have been in cahoots...

...after all....

Rose taught the female clan of the Kennedy's......

...to just suck it up.................................

....to each his own...if that is what Maria was able to contend with....more power to her....no judgement towards her....

...but she should be far from ....pitied..............

Wow Bitemepa that was some harsh judgment on Maria which I strongly disagree. Yes she knew about Arnold's character and past flings more than likely she thought what was in the past was in the past. Even when Arnold was accused of groping and touching other women she defended him because she believed in him. No woman deserves the public humiliation that she is going through.

Two "responsible" adults here behaved in a most callous and reckless behavior which affected so many people i.e. their spouses, their children and also the child that became the result of their recklessness.

#9 patti22....do they all make a stupid a$$ statement right before they stick you in the back? LOL....My X said to me in this all gooey...fake....tone.....Find yourself! ....I was finding myself wanting to find myself smacking the crap out of him! I must say though we are somewhat friends....(well except when I am freaking out to him about our kids) he left for someone who was older...well now she is older and its's not so cute and I ask him, Hey! How's the old lady? He says yeah you're funny! and I'm not buying that Maria didn't have some ideas....woman know what is going on in their own house.

amzgrace - your husband told you to find yourself in response to his having had an affair? Wow - how's that for shifting responsibility?

yep and although I have forgiven him and we get along (from a distance) he still says dumb sh** ! But I can understand and relate to that BLINDNESS you force yourself into. Because she was so much older, they worked together and then started playing on the same softball team....LOL...I had just had my son, I just refused to believe that he would cheat with someone 13 years our senior.....went on for a year!!! =) And then ONE day...he left my house and she was waiting around the corner, I was waiting in the car when he got to it!
The look on his face still makes me laugh! People lie so much, they start to believe their own lies. I like what judge Judy yells at ppl....when you tell the truth you don't have to have a good memory!

Isn't that the truth!!
