If I were Maria, I'd slammed the door in his face and said "You Won't be back!!"

I know... lame.

I think it's far, far better to deal with the pain early on.

But it's not like Clint had over 100 sexual affairs did he? (that we know of)

He probably did, though. You ever see him back in the 70s? I am pretty he slept with whatever came his way.

We don't know how we'll respond to a certain stimulus until it happens, and even then our responses may differ from one occurrence to the next.

Bro, you have my utmost respect for wanting to honor your vows - don't get me wrong. I'm just saying that even Christ was tempted...and that we lower beings derive great pleasure from laughing at those who failed the test, possibly only to hide our discomfort at the realization that we may be next.
Phil,
I know never is a long time, but I would leave a relationship before I would cheat, and that is all there is to it. Don't think I haven't been tempted when I had six different women working for me. A couple of them almost rubbed it in my face, but I was always able to laugh it off and walk away, that is much easier the do the second and third time you do it..

I read a study that found, in this country, roughly 8-10% of all children have no actual genetic link with the purported genetic father. This doesn't include adoptions, sperm donation, or other assisted reproduction. That means that at least one father in twelve is unknowingly raising a child who doesn't belong to him.

So I guess it cuts both ways. And, given the proclivities of the Kennedys, I'm sure it's nothing that Maria Shriver had not seen before.

Well its pretty obvious why. With the internet, shows like TMZ and Access Hollywood around and 24 hour cable channels like E! that are devoted around celebrity gossip, its a lot harder for them to keep their private lives private.

The fact that there's hold industry devoted on digging up dirt on these people tells all you need to know.

I'm just amazed that Arnold was able to keep this a secret for so long. You'd think that his political opponents would've uncovered this a long time ago. And just imagine if Arnold had been eligible to run for President. Boy that would've been something to see this come out in the middle of an election year.

In general, I think it's best to come clean about infidelity, especially if you had a child with the person. Sooner or later, someone's going to find out what you did and the longer you keep it a secret, the worse off you'll be when the truth finally does come out.

I bet Eliot Spitzer is laughing right about now. "Hey Arnold, at least I slept with a girl who was hot. You slept with the housekeeper and even got her pregnant. Nice going."

Sleeping with a housekeeper is actually quite convenient and raises less suspicion. Besides, who said she can't be hot?!
