He’s doing great. Past is all under the bridge. Married now for 19 years this coming Tuesday. Thanks for asking!

Very not nice. Shame on you. Do you think that if I dig hard enough I wouldn’t find something that you might be ashamed of? Please let it go and move into the present. I’d really appreciate it.

You’re right - what goes on between a husband and wife is private.

Which is why you don’t spew it all over the internet.  
**lorene** , the people in those threads didn’t _brag_ about it, and go on and on about how justified it was. And then whine about their privacy.

Any reason, five years later with her husband having forgiven her, that you feel the need to be the shame police?

I’d like to say though good for **MizGrand** if she got things sorted out. And hopefully she knows now that what goes on the internet is no longer private.

But that’s why people were reacting differently to different stories to affairs.

Yes, **Guin** , I realize that. I just figured that people gave her enough shit about it 5 years ago, 4 years ago, and 3 years ago. Can you please let me know when the statute of limitations runs out, because I think I missed that memo.

And now, no matter how this thread goes, you have your bases covered.

Oh please. I don’t give a shit what happens in this thread. But someone asked about the difference – I answered. If that’s trying to “cover my bases”, so be it.

There, now you’re all set.

People, we’ve gotten seriously off-topic here.

If you want to debate how you determine your own attitudes about whether/when/why/how/who to forgive/forget people who have posted about cheating on their SO’s, please start a new thread.

All in all not that much different than when you left, then.

Don’t you think it’s time you actually _tried_ that? 5 years is an awfully long time to hold that grudge.

**Cheshire Human** , apparently you missed my mod note. Let me repeat it.

I’ll admit that I failed to mention commenting on each other’s grudges or lack thereof – those are also off-topic. If you have a problem with another poster, take it to the Pit.
