What would you do if your significant other was cheating on you? Would you leave them or would you try to work it out? This is the exact question host Bridget McManus tries to answer in this Q&A episode. But is she right or wrong? What would you do?
In this episode:
jerry jerry jerry!
Good job Bridge, and I wasn't thinking about the talk show host Jerry Springer, I was thinking when Geri on 3Way was fantasizing about "Rhonda Rapid Delivery." ;)
so no juggling, hu?
Simple, to the point advice, with a little bit of humor thrown in. Bridget pulls no punches, and I like that.
Hi friends, the advice given by the host Bridget McManus with respect to a situation in which your better half cheats you is really great.Though it is not easy to digest and forget the betrayal by your beloved ones, she is making us not give much importance to it. Even though she was humorous and bold in the video, I could see a faint pain in her eyes. This type of advice may be very useful in saving a relationship. Any how a different but great idea and ideal for tricky situations.
Good points Bridget. See you tomorrow. :-)
I caught my last two girlfriends cheating on me, and it sucked. Bridget's advice is spot on. Don't get violent and dramatic (i.e. sending deaththreats to you're gf/bf and/or the person they are cheating on you with....But who does that?!?! Hhahahahaha....heh) Take the high road and just leave, it's safer and chances are no restraining orders will be filed.
p.s. Karman is toast if she even thinks of cheating x.x. Not only will she have Bridget going John Rambo on her ass, she'll have a herd of pissed off AE members gunning for her as well.
Good advice. Be sure not to cut yourself, either! If you're in the money, maybe you should pay for their vasectomy. Nobody wants people like that reproducing!
I think Bridget's Not So Professional Advice is my favorite episode in The Jam...
Id leave them no questions asked. I like it though and I might just have to cut them next time I find out :).
I totally agree!!! That is just a deal breaker!!! Goes far beyond for better or for worse.
You go girl!!!! I might go the poison route though. lol just kidding. Remember Mrs. Bobbit? Just kidding again or am I....ha
I love the advice to just leave them. The cut them advice part was pretty funny but no one wants to be in jail over someone so glad you suggested not doing that but it was hilarious. Thanks for all the good videos.
That was great advice, who wants to be stuck in a relationship with a partner who obviously isn't happy? I too would opt for the poison, just kidding, but that's a funny way to say... Get rid of them!
The content of this episode is good enough for me. I think that Bridget takes each joke too far to be funny in my opinion. She uses the same joke too often that it quickly gets old for me.
HAHAHA...."If you cheat on me, I'll kill you"
Me and my husband say that to each other all the time. I think we're both half-serious.
Of course, the whole "leave-em" strategy only works if you're still young - once you have kids, it's a whole different ballgame.
Cut them? hahaha! That is great! I have to agree for myself personally, but I also feel that some relationships are stronger than adultery. Cheating is never a good thing. My wife's mother cheated on her father and it caused divorce, alcoholism, and food addiction to name a few things. Its always better to be honest and talk BEFORE you cheat. But I realize this is an idealistic view.
After reading the topic, I really was cruious about what advice she'd give. "Jerry! Jerry!" lol. You are so very funny! This is one of those situations that are pretty simple if you are the person outside looking in. I've heard of many people who have the hardest time breaking up with someone even though they were cheated. Sometimes, very few times, the cheater apologized and now they have a great marriage. Hmm... I honestly don't really know where I stand on this one. I think it depends on the situation.
I agree with you. If that person is cheating on you, they don't really care enough about you to remain faithful. In a marriage, it can have long-lasting consequences. I'm the result of the extra-marital affair of my mother, and it's not fun having brothers and sisters who are not really full-bloods - you don't belong anywhere and you're different and no one understands why because it's a big secret.
I don't think there's one right answer for everyone, because there's (sometimes) a lot of factors involved. Personally, though, I'd have to hurt someone.
This was my favorite episode of The Jam.I only wish it was longer so I could hear more of her advice/opinions.
I LOVE 'Bridget's Not So Professional Advice.' Cut them? Yeah, that would be my first instinct. Lol.
Get the hell out. You can't trust someone who has lied to you about something so significant. The only exception is if they come clean to you before you even suspect. Then, since they are being honest and apologetic, it may warrant giving the a (one) second chance. Beyond that they will lose respect for you and you're lost anyhow. Save yourself the agony and move on.
I have personally been through this situation and I think if you don't put too much emphasis on the situation then you are better able to deal with it.
I honestly don't know what I would do if my boyfriend cheated on me, I have often thought about this question. Kicking them to the curb is good advice and most likely what I'd do.
A great piece of advice Bridget. The cut them advice part was pretty funny but leave 'em also holds true too!!
I love your advice on if your spouse is cheating on you.Especially if what you shoudl do I think you were right when you mention kick them to the curb as if they do it once they will do it again.
I adore this blog so much. I agree with the relationship advice in this blog. No one should ever resort to violence. Why fight for something that obviously isn't healthy or good for either one of you? I never understood the whole point of cheating, but people still do it. If your significant other is cheating on you, let them go. Be the bigger person and walk away, because they obviously don't deserve you. Don't hesitate to give them the finger, because they at least deserve that.
Hahaha, while I may have been tempted to set fire to my spouse's car, your advice is correct. Resorting to violence will almost always end up biting you back in the rear end during the divorce proceeding.
You really will get caught if you resort to violence. You will spend time in jail and you will have to go to classes to talk about your violent urges. It's not fun. Leave them! Leave them fast because they will ruin your life if you don't! You will have no self esteem and be going to domestic violence classes for a really long time trying to tell other chicks in the same situation all about how you have no self esteem and you actively subconsciously seek out these losers!
Believe me from past experience it is way better to spend 1 week being sad or whatever about that person than to spend a couple of months in jail and or a restraining order because of that person. Just walk away plenty of people out there.
I completely agree and thanks for the not so typical try to work it out crap. It is better to just leave and stay away from them if they are cheating.
Finally, someone with some practical advice. Relationships are based on trust. No trust, no relationship. End of story.
Sometimes the answer is plain as day, and I thought it was funny that Bridget picked this question - but while she answered the way I think how most people would respond, I was reminded of her openmindedness when she did mention that some people are in open relationships.
It is a thought provoking question 'what would you do if your spouse cheat on you?' many women and men areliving with this question and fear.She is pretty frank in sharing her views.She is right that some men are having open illegal relationships.
I voted no for both choices . I didn’t find it either funny or relevant in any way , almost pointless .
Well I agree that leaving your partner is a good idea IF and ONLY if, you've already confronted them about it, have tried to work through it and restore what is worth restoring. Now, if they decide they don't want to put any effort into keeping your relationship and ending the other one, then you're left with one choice. Sadly, this is something I hear too often.
Cheating is absolutely wrong and I would never tolerate that in any of my relationships! Cheating is a disgrace to the person that is suffering from their partner cheating. I would never cheat on my spouse or boyfriend, it is completely wrong. But maybe a slip of exlax into some brownies couldn't hurt.
