MSN Columnist: Wife cheating-- what did YOU do wrong?

	Anonymous User writes " Advice columnist gives sh*tty advice to men regarding how to deal with infidelity. I have a hard time imagining her advising a woman "I am not blaming the victim here — fidelity is a choice — but there probably are things you can do to lessen the chance your [husband] will cheat again."... and then run on into a litany of potentially wifely obligations that she ought to entertain (doing dishes, shining his shoes).

I sent her this....

My retort (Score:2) by Clancy (long_ponytail@yahoo.com) on 03:46 PM March 11th, 2005 EST (#2) I just left my comment in the little window at the bottom of the *cough* advice column. The only possible reason I could conceive that you would write such "advice" is so that you can assuage the guilt that you feel from having your own affair. The next time I think that my wife isn't paying me enough attention, or giving me the sex I think I deserve, I will have a fling with the nearest willing participant and say with authority that I was under Doctor's orders.

how odd... (Score:1) by bukowski on 10:35 AM March 12th, 2005 EST (#3) "This is not to say you should become hyper-vigilant, constantly blaming and smothering her. If you torture your wife with constant reminders of her guilt, this, too, will erode the marriage." wtf....This paragraph is right after she was blaming the husband for the wife cheating. Up until this point where would he ever get the idea that she was saying to constantly torture her with blame and reminding her of her guilt? It was all things he did wrong up to this point. How odd.
