I know it's the daily fail, and shouldn't really be surprised - but so tired of this shit. Man has affair and becomes a victim - being a cool, lefty, stand-up comic doesn't give you a pass. Woe is me. It strikes me that more and more men are using this 'disguise' - or even claiming they are a feminist - in order to behave in a shitty way. It's his ex wife I feel sorry for. Gives me Philip Schofield vibes.

Comedian Mark Watson's new memoir details how he cheated on his wife to avoid feeling like 'an average man suffering cliched failures'

And, in doing so, became the exact thing he claimed to fear being 🙄

All cheaters justify it by painting themselves as the victim. It's nothing new.

They do, I agree. It's just this left wing disguise - people wouldn't believe it.

I'm probably just projecting massively 🤣

There was a massive post on here earlier about this

Zero sympathy and fucks given to whinging man upset he had three year affair his wife only found out after birth of their second child

And then to paste his family in the press for publicity for his tour. His kids must be so proud.

All cheaters are liars, selfish, deceptive and dishonest. End of.

They also very rarely change, so will more than likely do it again.

And there is no difference between cheating men and cheating women.

Bloody hell 3yr affair is more like living a double life, his poor wife having to deal with all that right after having a baby, i hope it was her decision to divorce him.

Cheaters always try to justify their poor behaviour to pass blame somehow and play the victim for sympathy to minimise the fallout as if they weren't selfish cowards they'd have delt with the issues or left the relationship. As he is here blaming career slump, booze and affair for ego stroke, but it all upset him and was suicidal so let's draw a line under it and praise him for being brave and honest in his new book to help boost his career (and publically crap on people he hurt again) 🙄

Would be interesting to know what ex-wife & affair partner think of his version of events in book as I know my ex would paint a picture that wasn't accurate.

I'm also interested in his new partner's take on it all.

Presumably she can now read the gritty details about how he betrayed a woman he made vows to and had children with - for three years.

It amazes me that woman are still prepared to be with men like him.
