Guy Dumps Cheating Girlfriend ON AIR!

[srmom]

It's quite obvious that this young lady wasn't too concerned about privacy and discretion when she PUBLICLY disrespected herself, her partner and her relationship.

There is a huge difference between being seen kissing an old boyfriend in a bar by a friend of your boyfriend's and airing the entire sad event on radio.

If you listen to the broadcast, it's not clear WHAT she actually did other than kiss the guy, which, YES constitutes cheating, but IMO, does not constitute public humiliation and cruelty. She even tearfully says that she made a mistake. Wouldn't this confession and sorrow be better handled privately between the two?

If she had had sex in, say, a public venue and it had been taped and broadcast on youtube, then YES, publicly humiliate her because she has brought the thing to the public. But, from the recording, this doesn't seem to be the case - nor is there any indication that it was some on-going affair.

I just don't think these shock jock public humiliations are not a heatlhy thing in any way, and I wish the "market" for them was less, because IMO, it doesn't say much for the American public if hearing someone's private pain and agony aired to God knows whoever is entertaining. I think it is sick and sadistic.

Also, having been through alot of life and having seen many things - the "kissing" event over the length of a long relationship and marriage can be something that can be discussed, worked through and actually even strenghten the marriage. I've seen worse things gotten over, but this guy, who had spent 5 years in love with this woman, who seemingly loved him back, despite the indiscretion, has blown any chance he had to make things right. She certainly doesn't sound like a woman who didn't care.

Another thing, I believe that sometimes admitting to an indiscretion or mistake can be MORE harmful and actually MORE selfish than keeping it to yourself - sometimes, the, "I can't live with the guilt, so I had to tell you." is actually more painful to the other person, and as long as the indiscretion truly was a MISTAKE, not to be repeated, it is kinder to move on and not hurt your partner.

But, like I said, I've seen alot - I've been married for 25 years (thankfully never been in this situation) but I have plenty of friends who have and I've seen it go both ways.
