Besides Christie Brinkley (and her extenuating, melodramatic circumstances)
And now, LeAnn Rimes (is that how you spell it?) What other celebrity women have cheated on their husbands? And if a queer woman is in a het marriage, and she decides she wants out of the marriage, but her husband doesn't want out of the marriage yet and refuses to sign the papers...is this woman 'allowed' to follow her queerness and sleep with women? Is that considered 'cheating'? Dylan |

I am surprised that you are under the impression that a woman needs her husband to sign divorce papers to get one. Maybe this still happens in Texas, who knows. As to other celebrity women, just of the top of my head, Susan Sarandon. But what does this really prove? |

1. Ahhhhhhhh, thanks. I don't watch The Larry.
2. UGH with the stereotyping. Yeah, I agree...speaking in terms of stereotypes would totally diminish the actual situation. 2a) on a side note, I DO believe in some differences I didn't used to believe in...but I'm still totally agreeing with what you've said here. 3. Oh, I know...I was agreeing with you too. It's so annoying. 4. I agree. 5. Good points...thanks for the perspective Dylan Quote:

women are property and need papers signed to be released? i don't think that is how legal separation works.
so are we only worried about celebrity cheating? because i thought this thread was simply about infidelity. shrugs. anyhoo, here you go: Denise Richards (not only did she cheat, she screwed her bff's hubby) Britney Spears (poor poor Justin Timberlake) Madonna (poor multiple men) Meg Ryan (Antonio Banderas must have been worth it he's got hot machismo) Anne Heche (wtf who cheats on Ellen?) Debra Lafave (with a student no less) Mary Kay Laterneau (poor boy) |

Ok, so what about sleeping around during that 2 year separation...'cuz technically One is still married, and One's partner is not agreeing to One's sleeping with others. Is that cheating. And seriously, I had no idea any of these women had cheated. Well, I miggggght remember something about Denise Richards, but I thought she divorced that fucknut because he's such a fucknut. I don't remember knowing it was a cheating issue. Who's Mary Kay Laterneau? She's a celebrity? What's she been in? Who's Debra Lafave? I thought Anne Heche just went crazy and winded up in someone's back yard. She cheated too? Meg Ryan cheated? She is/was married? I do know who Madonna and Britney are, but didn't know they cheated. Interesting, Dylan |

As for sleeping around during separation? That is usually between a couple and can be very subjective depending on the lunacy of one or the other. When I divorced, sleeping around like a whore in a Navy port was fine. So yeah. If you don't have a tv use your google powers. Just because the Reverend doesn't know about it doesn't mean it didn't happen. |

As a woman who has been through a nasty divorce, one that YOU would qualify in the CANNOT dept. I know for a fact you are wrong. Perhaps when you actually go through one we can exchange logic and facts, till then I would really appreciate you not using your misogynist condescending tone on me, thanks. PS: You also added; "In some states, a divorce isn't finalized for two years if one party refuses to sign the papers." And that is why there is such a thing as a legal separation, until such papers are finalized. |

i thought this thread was about lying cheating sacks of shit, which has shit to do with gender..?
(unless of course it's a MAN who thinks cheating is a means to navigating his manhood--i've absolutely seen that behavior/justification.) |

Yes, sex addicts need help. Are Tiger Woods or Sandra Bullocks' husband sex addicts? I doubt it. So why do they hold this up as their recovery plan? Because we like our celebrity spokespeople to be squeeky clean and this is all they need to do, come clean seek professional help and *poof they're cured and better in our eyes, right? Rather than call a spade a spade, you cheated, you got caught, that wasn't your original agreement--they turn it into a "medical" problem and that absolves them. The "they" is publicists.
Cheating is cheating--if you suddenly want to run around on your spouse, significant other, girlfriend, boyfriend best be up front and have that talk WAY before another pops into the picture. As others have said polyamory and open relationships are not about cheating or taking advantage of another person. It takes hard work to have these kind of relationships. The "one and only" concept works for many and monogomany as polyamory are valid expressions of ones preference for relationships. The holier than thou attitude--I could not stand someone else touching the one I love, or I give them my all and could not share them--interesting commentar y but certainly a little laced with unconscious condescension. Is monogamy an idea that is fading? I think yes and no, I think lots of people leave relationships immediately after finding a passing fling and they are sorry but the damage is done. Trust is broken and it's incredibly hard to get that back and forgive and forget. I see lots of people think that the goal is monogamy rather than the goal is a healty relationship. I don't think polyamory is for everyone--it takes a lot of work. But think about what you truly want--is dating where you should really be rather than focusing on one person. Dating is for trying on people, trying on relationships--so insisting that the person you're dating should be mongamous with you--that's called a relationship not dating. Is staying in a relationship with one person until you find the next one healthy? That reminds me of high school relationships--don't break up with one until you've hooked the next one. As if being alone a milisecond isn't possibly the healthiest thing you could do for yourself and ultimately the next relationship. Rope-- |

As to butch femme communities, I think if a butch, FTM, person of masculine persuasion is cheated on they get the same sympathy and sense of outrage as when it happens to a femme. I do not see butches being held to higher standards when it comes to cheating, relationships, etc. There are of course instances of friends taking sides, etc which happens in any community. As to celebrities, I don't much care. I didn't think you did either, but you keep bringing them up. Oh and as to my little "tutorial" yeah most butches and femmes are women. When you keep talking about how bad men have it and keep ignoring what women have to say here and in other discussions it's pretty offensive to some of us. Cheating is cheating no matter which gender does it.

I am very monogamous and definitely feel I am wired that way. I do think though there are probably some unrealistic expectations that go along with it for many people. However, I don't see how people who cheat or have a problem with honesty or communication would be successful at poly relationships either. You have to be honest and communicate well to have successful poly relationships as much or more than with a successful monogamous one because there are more individuals or potentially more individuals involved.

What you said was offensive in the extreme. Women DIE in the U.S. every year after they have been accused of infidelity. It's not OK to just not include this fact in the conversation. Why is that so often the case -- that dead and beaten women go uncounted? Why is it not appalling when we do that? Or why, when we notice that we have done it, do we not take a long pause and think about it? It's not what i expect to encounter here. The fact is that misogyny in our community is a huge problem, and this illustrates it. You KNOW the history of women, but you choose to dole out stereotypes of what people say about men vs what we say about women on an issue that has a bloody past and present for women? You KNOW, but you just don't want to mention that side of it? Please, spare me the stereotypes. i couldn't care less about your anecdotal observations about people's reactions to celebrities. i do take note that you can't be bothered to acknowledge the brutal facts of life as a woman in this culture. Once again, Dylan, your misogyny is showing. Feel what you feel. But this isn't the place to bring it. It's hostile as hell to bring it here. |

Martina,
I was specifically talking about celebrities. It started with Jet's comment about how much Sandy didn't deserve "this". I don't know how much more clear I could have made that. Should I now put a disclaimer in all of my posts? That turned to butch-femme couples. And somewhere in there, someone (Superfemme?) made a "never" comment Which led to me asking about queers (specifically queer women, but it could have been reversed to include queer men) who are married, but for whatever reason don't feel they can divorce sleeping with other partners. Because I don't believe in "all" or "never" statements. I see in this thread a number of people discussing infidelity in many forms. I was specifically talking about celebrities, and since I don't much care for celebrities, I tried to turn the convo to b-fers. SPECIFICALLY. Sorry I wasn't more clear in stating I was NOT talking about the entire history of women, or even women in general. I'll be sure to be more clear next time I decide to discuss celebrity cheaters.

When women cheat (or even just date more than one person) they are deemed whore, slut, man eater, cheap, loose and so forth. Men normally get a wink and a pat on the back. Stud muffins. (Unless they are high profile and claiming family values, or just being two faced douche bags) So your point of acceptability is moot, IMO. Cheating, lying, and hiding things from ones partner? Not nice. No matter who you are. |

There is a very big difference across cultures concerning infidelity and women (or pre-marital, usually arranged, sex). And I do agree with how women get labeled as whore, slut, etc. if they cheat or have sex with more than one partner. That is a double standard, as well.
The whole idea that men will cheat and that is what to expect makes me very angry. It fits right into the ignorance around sexual addiction and how it can destroy lives. And cheating isn't the only variable in which it can become a problem. There are young men that use street viagra that have no problems getting it up or sustaining an erection..... this is a serious problem as this drugs have serious side effects and are not made to be used like this. Why the hell I am even trying to have a serious discussion about this, I have no idea. However, women have sexual addictions as well and forfuckingsake.... that does have relevance here!! So does fidelity. |

The same cannot be said for birth control, the morning after pill, etc. I've yet to hear of a flacid penis be a pre-existing condition, or beating ones wife be a pre-existing condition. I HAVE heard of childbirth and being a victim of DV justified as reason to deny health coverage. I guess my point is that double standards run rampant, but not usually in the favor of women. Dylan using married queers who are divorcing is almost comical considering the incredibly small percentage of queers who are allowed to get married and how very new it is. |
