Re: How Many Second Chances Should A Cheater Get

For me, I suppose the 'second chance' would be the 'yer outta here' chance.  

 

But for somebody else - it's totally not for me to say or judge.

 

So far, so good on the 'been cheated on' deal for me.   It's always hard to say until it happens to you, I suppose.   I'm not really an extreme thinker at all so I would have to wait and see, with every circumstance considered.  Smiley Happy

Re: How Many Second Chances Should A Cheater Get

They've been married something like 36 years. I'm not convinced Ozzy is still all there. Not trying to be mean, but he did have brain damage from all the drugs. I also wonder just what it is he is doing, lol. Maybe not what we think as "cheating". 

 

I find it almost odder when people divorce after being married so long and later in life. Of course Sharon is younger. That's easy for me to say because it hasn't happened to me, but it seems it might be easier to forgive. And also, not like it never happened before. Not making excuses but a long marriage has ups and downs, and health and mental health issues sometimes. I believe Ozzy fell off the wagon, so I'm sure that didn't help his decision making.

Don't you only get 1 second chance?  then it's a third chance and a fourth chance, etc.  Woman LOL

Re: How Many Second Chances Should A Cheater Get

Depends on the couple. Since we're talking about Ozzy and Sharon; they've both cheated. One of them can't say "oh you're horrible" without looking in the mirror and seeing themself. Perhaps that's why they're still together; they're both guilty of the same thing. 

 

Plus money and fame; if you're going to stay with a cheater, better to have it than not.

I read last week Ozzy was back with the hairdresser.  Sharon is usually a straight shooter on The Talk.  I've not heard her say they were back together.  She's inferred the opposite.

I think it's up to each person to decide for themselves, and other than that, it's not my business if I'm not in the person in the relationship with the cheater.

Re: How Many Second Chances Should A Cheater Get

Some people have an open marriage, and some spouses tolerate philandering.

 

That's not for me but what other people do is their business, not mine.
