Your Cheating Heart
On the heels of Elizabeth Edwards’ tell-all interview with Oprah, where she stated that it “wouldn’t matter” if John Edwards fathered a child with the other woman (we beg to differ), cheating has been on everyone’s brain. The Stage 4 breast cancer fighter said, “He made this one mistake, so do I throw out all the good stuff and say, ‘That doesn’t matter, only this matters?’” Tough call. Clearly every woman or man handles cheating differently, whether it’s a one-time indiscretion, an emotional affair or a full-blown relationship. Does John Edwards feel bad that his wife is the one answering and addressing questions for his mistakes? Em & Lo note that researchers studying cheating assumed that men would feel guiltier about emotional infidelity while women would feel guiltier about sexual infidelity. However, the research showed the exact opposite — you feel guilty about the thing that would hurt you the most. It’s a subject that everyone has their own opinions on, but judging by the ways the ladies of The View handled Ashley Madison ceo and cheating profiteer Noel Biderman, we’re guessing they’re not into the whole “bit on the side” thing that his site promotes.
