Tiger the 'sex addict'

"I did not have sexual relations with that woman. Oh, apart from that one, and that one. And, oh darn it, ok, hands up, I'm a sex addict. Yeah that must be it.

"I'm not a man who simply doesn't think the rules apply to me (although I've admitted that I don't think they do). Nor that I didn't think my wife would ever seriously leave me (taking my kids whom I don't deserve with her). Nor that I thought I was such a massive star my sponsors wouldn't forgive me screwing hookers behind my wife's back left right and centre. I also think that by regurgitating a PR speech I've practised a thousand times in front of the mirror will pretty much get things back on track."

Seriously Tiger, there's nothing more you can say. We get it, you're sorry. You're sorry you were caught and your bubble burst.

People make mistakes - it's human nature- but mistakes on 'Tiger scale'? There are men who think it's ok to cheat - who get off on the secrecy, the excitement of being with someone but their partner - and there are men who don't. I've got to say I think that changing the fabric of your morals in your 30s is akin to the ease of changing your skin or eye colour.

Call me a skeptic but I've heard that speech before from an ex who couldn't keep his dick in his pants. That lasted 15 minutes too. I mean his fidelity. There's no such thing as sex addiction. Just dickheadism.

And yes, women cheat too.

Getting jiggy in the new age

It all starts pretty innocently - an email here, a text there. Before you know it your spectacles are steaming up and your messages are filling with asterisks (if you believe The Sun).
We're talking about getting jiggy the new-age way.
A recent poll questioned nearly 1,500 men and women folk and found that morality on this form of 'cheating' divides nowhere near the middle.
57% of guys claimed having sexy time with another person on text did NOT constitute as cheating, while 86% of women said they thought that shit was unacceptable in a caring, sharing, respectful etc. etc. relationship.
1 in 3 women said they'd consider dumping their partners ass if he par-took in such cheatery, whilst the men claimed they'd be far more relaxed about it all - with only 1 in 6 men saying it would end in breakup if they caught their other-half out.
Funny isn't it - I wonder if these stats reflect what would really happen. What's for sure is that women see the 'emotional' cheat just as important as the physical. That if a man could engage in sexy texts with someone else, the trust and connection between them would break.
The fact the guys mostly claimed they'd forgive and forget in such a situation is interesting - perhaps I've always just been with guys who would give me a good deal of a hard time for looking sideways at another guy (present company excluded). Or perhaps they're giving it Billy big nuts, secretly knowing sexy texting just ain't that good an idea.
What staggered me is only 59% of all of those asked said they thought that actually PHYSICALLY kissing someone else would constitute as cheating. I hope none of them are my boyfriend.

The Fynl GdBi

Recently, a best friend of mine was told by her partner of a year that it was over between them. No biggie. We’re all adults here.

It was 3 days after her birthday.

And it was by email.

Now, in fairness the fucktard in question blamed everything on himself, and even more impressively, recognised that his fucktardedness was only amplified by the fact he’d done such a thing in such an unbelievably cowardly way.

It seems it’s more common than you’d think, this email dumping business. Here’s a site dedicated to such personality imbalances. This is part of a personal favourite:

“i wish you would have given me a reason to be mad at you or hate you.
it would be so much easier then.
but you didn't. you were so good to me.
and i know i'll never find that again
i wish i could say i wanted someone else or something tangible but all i have is a
want of something i don't know i'll ever get
i'm so fucking sorry baby.
i feel so stupid
i'm sorry”

It makes you wonder if these misguided individuals actually think they’re better able to express the complications of the inner workings of their brains by text, but the lack of empathy for another’s feelings on receiving such a patronising load of old rubbish by email in working hours is just breathtaking.

Modern technology has given those with even an inkling of cowardliness an easy way out – a text, an email, a web announcement.

The basic of all human interaction seems to fly out the window when the subject matter is something a half Mars Bar away of what we call ‘sticky’.

How you behave behind the wall of modern technology is the real personality test
