Affairs With Married People: Where Does The Majority Of The Blame Lie?

If you are a UK resident who follows the news intently, or even a Twitter user anywhere in the world, then I am sure you would have by now come across the revelation that Manchester United’s midfielder Ryan Giggs was the infamous footballer who took out a £50,000 injunction, to prevent being unveiled as the “family man” who had a 6-month long affair with former Big Brother contestant, Imogen Thomas.

A couple of days back I was reading a magazine interview with Imogen’s older sister, when she was asked whether she felt disappointed in her sister; her answer not only made me angry but shake my head in disgust at how ignorant some women can be.

Not only did she answer that she was disappointed in Ryan Giggs as opposed to her sister, but she was also adamant in her belief that her sister had done nothing wrong by having an affair with a married man for six months because (in her own words); “…he should have known better. He’s the one with responsibilities” (sic).

That statement got me so angry I just wished she was in front of my face to give her an almighty back-hand. I know it takes two to tango, but personally I don’t feel the tiniest bit sorry for Imogen with regards to all the negative press and death threats she is currently receiving- she messed up big time by dealing with a married man, especially as she knew he was married.

Recently, even I have come to realise personally that no matter how strongly you may feel about someone, it is definitely not worth destroying a family over.

Hence, all the recent news concerning infidelity has left me wanting to pose this question to you guys- if you found out your HUSBAND/WIFE (not boyfriend or girlfriend people, we’re talking the real deal here) was having an affair, who would you let rip at first; your spouse, the person they were cheating with, or even yourself (for maybe not spending enough time with your spouse, and not being as attentive as you could possibly have been)?
