Falling in love with someone else's spouse

Disgusting behavior on the part of the Times. I can't say that surprises me in the least.

Interested to hear from the ex wife's side.

Thanks for the links!

I'm a little surprised at the responses on this page. Considering so many marriages end in divorce, I think many of us have had some experiences in this... That being said, I would never want my husband to live in misery, in love with another woman, only because he promised he would on a certain day many years ago. I think it would be awful to live with that kind of unhappiness. That being said, I think it takes s lot to fall in love. I personally don't believe you just "fall in love accidentally with someone else" I think that for this to occur, there's been a pattern of lying, dishonest behavior beforehand. I would only expect honesty from my husband. Vows are wonderful, but it's a reality that MANY people break them (if we can go based on the divorce rate). In many ways, breaking them because you've tried many things to work it out, or breaking them because you fell in love with someone else, the result is the same: divorce. I could argue that some people feel like going to counseling etc. is not worth it because they KNOW the relationship is unsalvageable. I agree with Deco that 6 months is peanuts and they certainly not martyrs for roughing it out for 6 months... I also believe that life is MUCH too short to be unhappy. Do what makes you happy and what your conscience can tolerate. I don't know, after spending 6 months watching being die on a almost a daily basis, I have much less patience for situations or people that make me unhappy.

The man said something, and I'm paraphrasing. about how he had to do a terrible thing in the least terrible way possible- and that would be by making this statement in the NYT. imho these people are narcissists and have the tact of gerbils.

I just think its funny that he's a soon to be CEO - why publish this when starting a new high profile job?

I'm sure they thought their love is SO special that it justified everything and was this magic pass, this secret inside information, this more special than anything ever existed love that just HAD to be shared. En masse.
