Do We Really Need a Support Group For Mistresses?

When people engage in extramarital affairs, they are, or should be, in agreement to share the ups and downs of the encounter(s). Of, course the married person in the relationship has more to lose than the other person unless the relationship is between two married people. There are always risks to considered when engaging in these affairs. Does anyone think about the problems that getting caught would cause? In my opinion, one should know that if I am caught cheating that things may go bad for me in hurry, and by engaging in the act I agree to accept what I deserve in the event that I am caught. There should not be any lying or covering because usually, if someone asks you if you are cheating  is probably because they have some form of evidence. One should just throw in the towel and admit defeat when that happens, but time and time again we see these celebrities lie until they are finally caught. The media are like mad killer bees in the fact that they will keep attacking until they get you. Give them a good trail and they will follow in until there is now where left to go. In the case with Tiger Woods, they dug up Tiger's entire black book. Now all of his mistresses are exposed to the media and critics.

Sarah Symonds, who has allegedly had a long term affair with TV Chef Gordon Ramsey has decided to form a support group for women who are outed when their celebrity partners are caught cheating. The support group is aptly named Mistress Anonymous. 

Presumably, the group offers more advice than the obvious “stop dating married men,” but so far Symonds is short on details and big on ambition.

“Ideally what I'd like to do is a TV special with all of Tiger's mistresses, where they could discuss the downside to being ‘the other woman,’ and whether he was good in bed.”

Sydmonds is trying to reach out to the women involved in Tiger Wood's scandal to help her get started and maybe land some TV deals. Why does a woman or a man for that matter need a support group. People enter into these relationships for a reason, and they stay in them for a reason, or until the cover is blown. There is only one way to resolve being in an affair, and that is to stop cold turkey. Even if the situation is complicated, and feelings are invested. There are many opportunities to get out until eventually someone gets caught. I say get out before you luck runs out, atone for the transgression and move on. Why do you need a support group for when the choices are so clear leave or stay. Another question that I just want to throw out there is why does bad behavior get rewarded with publishing and TV deals? Does anyone have any thoughts? I would like to get some opinions.

Bad behavior gets rewarded because drama sells. People like to see celebrities, and idols fail cause it makes them feel better about themselves. As far as Tiger goes, I think the best advise for him comes from Brit Hume......to become Christian and accept Jesus in his life....we all sin, it doesnt make cheating on youre wife o.k. at all! But when sincerely sorry, and wanting forgiveness Jesus forgives and will heal youre relationship and keeping the Lord in youre life will keep you on track as to not repeat past mistakes.

I can agree with that comment. But people seem to forget that celebrities are just normal people who get a lot of attention. They fall, fail, and sin just like the rest of us. Just because I see them on TV or hear them on the radio does not mean that they are special or perfect.
