I am not one of those guys who thinks men get shafted in these situations, necessarily. I have just seen too many situations where a cheated-upon spouse was no great prize, and while the dynamics make them theoretically more sympathetic, in fact it doesn’t work out that way in many instances.
Adultery is wrong, I agree. All I am saying is we can’t look at a situation and let conventional roles determine the facts. I know some spouses of both sexes who got walked out on and based on info I knew about their marriage, I didn’t find them sympathetic at all.
I don’t think that was being done in the case of mel gibson, there have been far too many stories about his womanizing. I’m sorry, but if you have kids, that’s just indefensible.
