I mean what in Gods name was her husband thinking of?? I guess all of us that have been in the same boat can completely be in solidarity. However I always figured being her would be at least a bit of protection against your husband cheating with a 20 year old

Fool of a man.

Why post this?
Are you saying less attractive, successful people deserve to be cheated on?
You also appear to be blaming the cheatee.
Bizarre logic.

OneTC · 20/06/2022 12:23

Yeah I don't think that's how being a cheating fucker really works

this. anyone can get cheated on

Its not about looks

ArtVandalay · 20/06/2022 12:23

So you’re saying attractive people don’t get cheated on? 🤔

Pollywoddles · 20/06/2022 12:24

Strange post. Are you saying that women that aren’t Shakira (and I presume you mean women who aren’t considered beautiful by those standards) have no hope of not having their partner cheat??

This is nothing to do with a woman’s appearance and everything to do with a man who couldn’t be faithful.

Bizarre.

Shgytfgtf111 · 20/06/2022 12:24

So its only us uglies that should be cheated on then I guess.

Willyoujustbequiet · 20/06/2022 12:25

It's not about her - it's about his character

I did think it was about me when my husband dumped me after 20 years for someone half my age yep!

A cheating bastard is a cheating bastard. It doesn't matter if his partner is beautiful, talented, and/or rich. He'll cheat anyway, it's nothing to do with her.

Mischance · 20/06/2022 12:29

Never heard of her - but she could be as beautiful as can be, but a complete pain to live with!

PetersRabbitt · 20/06/2022 12:29

To be honest I was surprised when Jennifer Anniston and Angelina got cheated on (by the same dick) so I lost hope then really 😂

Frolicinameadow · 20/06/2022 12:31

She’s added to the ranks of jlo, kardashians, Beyoncé and I’m sure many more.
I don’t think cheating is about how the person looks. Some people will always think the grass is greener and always be chasing “better” - whatever that means for them. Cheaters gonna cheat 🤷🏻‍♀️

LadyCampanulaTottington · 20/06/2022 12:31

Good lord, do you hate all women?

This has nothing, NOTHING, to do with her and everything to do with the behaviour and character of her husband.

Why do men get away with shite behaviour? Women like you.

He was thinking of his dick like every man who cheats. Being beautiful doesn't make you immune from ending up with the type of man who cheats, lots of very beautiful women (and men) get cheated on.

There's been a weird undertone on some of the cheating threads recently with advice to women to do them selves up so he realises what he's missing, I saw a reply on a different thread where he'd been caught, to work on making herself gorgeous and dump him, the OP hadn't said anything about not feeling confident in their appearance so it seemed odd that a few women were telling them to lose weight and get their hair done, nice clothes etc to teach their cheating husbands what they could lose. This thread has those vibes.

coffeecupsandfairylights · 20/06/2022 12:33

It has nothing to do with her looks and everything to do with the man being a lying fucker.

newnamethanks · 20/06/2022 12:33

You're falling for the Princess Di fallacy 'I am young and beautiful. She is not. I am safe'. That's not how it works I'm afraid. Cheaters will cheat no matter what. It's like gambling, they can't resist it.

SlashBeef · 20/06/2022 12:38

Maybe she's annoying as fuck to live with. Being beautiful doesn't make her immune to the shit bits of life.

Planterina22 · 20/06/2022 12:39

No what happens is they find someone young or someone naive or vulnerable that falls for their bullshit. Or someone as entitled as them. It’s not about her.

Actually all of your comments have helped me so thanks for them. You are right

Being cheated on has zero to do with a woman's attractiveness. It is about the person cheating and their personality/morals (for the most part).

Still doesn't excuse cheating though. And who hasn't heard of Shakira???

fghj149 · 20/06/2022 12:53

Cheaters will cheat whether you’re absolutely gorgeous or not

Lime37 · 20/06/2022 12:57

I genuinely don’t understand your post. her life style and his life style of touring and regime of being a sportsman they will have 2 very different parallel lives it always make me think people who say things like that as very shallow and think beauty is everything

DeepSeededUrbanDecay · 20/06/2022 12:59

I think he had cheated before and they worked things out iirc. Her ex Antonio de la Rua was a notorious cheater. He would bring women back to her house while she was on tour.
