Excuses of a cheater...

Ok, so yes...another rant about Kristen Stewart & Rob Pattinson estranged predicament...because like a lot of other folks, for some reason celebrity gossip highly entertaining. Man, I really need to get a life! But anyways, that's a completely different topic - back to the cheating girlfriend & heartbroken boyfriend.
So of course now the BIG topic of discussion is, will he take her back? Should he take her back? What other excuse can we come up with as to why Kristen cheated w/ that director...blah blah blah... I came across this on one of the many gossip-y cheesy websites (and no, that's not an insult) & it made me start to wonder, how many excuses have been made from a cheater? Are there like your go-to lines, like "It was an accident" or "somehow my pants fell down & ended up inside her?" weird...or are there actual legit excuses? Of course, key word here is "excuses". Well, on this particular site, the catchy headline was "Kristen was seduced by Rupert" or whatever his name is...BULLSHIT. Ok, maybe she was "seduced" but, isn't that what happens when flirting begins? It's not like this guy had control over her mind or forced her to do anything...they are both at fault.
Hold the phone! Why is it that Kristen gets all the heat but the MARRIED guy gets a small portion in a headline? He's married! I'm sorry, not that cheating is ok in any situation, but he's married - she isn't....ummm am I the only one who sees this? Anyways, this is all a very cliche situation....young, vulnerable actress, handsome & charming director/producer...and it really doesn't help that she was quoted not long before that she wished something would fuck up in her life or something along those lines. But again, why is it just her getting all the heat? Hey Rupert! You're MARRIED! And I don't want to hear the excuse of "well, we work so much together & a relationship is bound to form" blah, blah, blah...you have a choice. Yes, I agree that temptation may be more concentrated when working on a movie set, w/ the same people for an extended period of time, but that's no different than a normal, workaholic dad who doesn't come home until 9pm & leaves at the butt crack of dawn to get back to the office. Or someone in the military who is on active duty, out of the country...they have wives/husbands & children back home that worry everyday if they're going to come back...and they don't even get to speak to one another on a regular basis. Point being, temptation is everywhere. You choose whether to let in a snake or bash it over the head before it gets to the door. Does anyone remember the saying "don't shit where you eat?"
I don't think Kristen is a slut or whore or whatever else people are saying about her. Now, I will admit I think she is a complete dumbass...I mean, DAMN...you're dating Rob Pattinson!


What it must be like to be wealthy celebrity...ahhh....but back to Earth...shit happens. People make mistakes. Does this mean she gets a free pass? Um no. But I do think people need to back the hell up, especially since the majority of those involved in the gossip ring don't even know her personally & it's not like the first "cheating" scandal to happen in Hollywood, nor the last. I believe that yes, people can make a change in their life & right wrongs & all that...but cheating brings it to a new level. Trust has been broken. Once a cheater, always a cheater. How do you forgive? Considering this is the only option in which the Lord finds a divorce acceptable (no, that doesn't mean He wants you to get a divorce or advocates it), trusting a cheater is a pretty big thing to do. I don't think I could do it.
My ex-husband cheated on me with an employee of his - sent a picture of his penis to her on the night of our one year anniversary - classy huh? I fought for 4 months before I had to leave that house. I went back and forth with the idea of "omg, would God want me to do it this way?" or "a vow wasn't conditional, so I didn't say that I would love you - unless you cheat on me - so is it right for me to give up?". Finally, I figured God would kick me in the ass when it was time to go...and He did. They ended up pregnant...I was even willing to accept that baby as ours & no one would have to know, if that's what he wanted, to save our marriage & that I would have to forgive what he did. That just makes me crazy, but knowing he would still be working with this woman, how do you believe that the affair's over? And on top of that, being the one cheated on sucks....for many reasons...but it's embarassing. No, I didn't get a public apology over national TV from my ex-husband, hell he would still deny he did anything wrong, but never the less - still embarassing.
Looking back, I think I would have felt even more like a fool for staying with him. I also believe everything happens for a reason. As I said in my last rant, there is someone out there that wouldn't cheat on you in the first place. I know that's hard to believe, hell I'm still working on it.
All in all, there really is no good excuse for Kristen's actions so it's pointless to continue to search for one & play the "woe is me" angle. If he choses to take her back, that's his perogative, but she's owned up to it, for the most part, so quite trying to make lame excuses for her. Don't get me wrong, if there was a chance in hell that I would/could ever meet Rob & him fall madly in love with me, I'd say "move over Kristen"!, but that is just about as likely to happen when I wake up w/ blonde hair & big boobs ...which would be never. I'll still be crazy little Asian self.  They were very cute together & it's weird thinking of them being with someone else...maybe that's just the "Twi-hard" in me. But as the Twilight series comes to an end, maybe this to had an expiration date.
Enough of my random ranting - just stupid thoughts - & actually I wouldn't really care if I ever met Rob & him fall madly in love w/ me, it would just be cool to hang - he seems like a cool cat. I think I could hang with Kristen too - but I would have to apologize for drooling & staring off in a stupid daze while secretly hoping there wasn't competition...just saying.
