[quote=Scarlett]Exactly, totally agree. Scum. I can understand, especially for famous guys for whom the opportunities and temptations abund, sexual infidelity. Everybody makes mistakes and power is a tremendous afrodisiac. But this huge lie for SO MANY YEARS, how could he look himself in the mirror day after day? how could he then look at his wife, and at the maid, and the children he had from them? Worse than scum. I wonder why he didn’t make a clean break and why didn’t the maid leave – with a lot of child support of course. Let’s say he didn’t want to leave his family for a lot of reasons. Why he kept the maid there with the child? I am sure he could have found her a stable nice job, or hell, no job, just give her plenty of money to support herself and her kids somewhere else in a nice place. We don’t know all the details, but I wonder about her character too. Or maybe she was too naive or ignorant about what she could do and didn’t want any legal trouble.[/quote]
I think the level and degree of deceipt is what makes this so exceptionally disgusting. It just violates every vow imaginable in a marriage, much less relationship in general. While the sexual indiscretions can be forgiven, the years of lying while the maid and child still in the home is beyond reproach. That kind of betrayal is painful. A tryst is one thing. But to continue a lie right under her nose the whole time is the ultimate disrespect.
