Second only to the New York Times for being last to figure out what's going on Planet Earth, the Cable News Network is not exactly known for breaking cultural news or actually telling us anything we don't already know. So it's no surprise that they've taken to publishing Oprah.com's columns on their website in lieu of doing their own fact-finding...
...and the results are predictable.
Among the shock revelations:
"It's not about blaming the wife. It can't be. I mean, cheating is ridiculous. It's wrong. And you can't justify it,"
Okay so far...
What's the number one reason men cheat? Ninety-two percent of men said it wasn't primarily about the sex.
"The majority said it was an emotional disconnection, specifically a
sense of feeling underappreciated. A lack of thoughtful gestures..."
Like BJ's and letting him film your threesome.
Josh says he cheated on his wife, Jennifer, because he felt
underappreciated at home and started feeling insecure. "That insecurity
was really the catalyst," he says. "I didn't feel comfortable going to
the one person in the world I should be going to, which is my wife."
We're sorry, but you were insecure? And Oprah is letting this guy get a free ride?! We're sorely disappointed.
Men have a winning mentality.
Except when they're cheating losers.
"Does he have ownership in the team? It looks like that. But as long as
they're in the game, even to the very end, they'll watch. Once it's a
blowout and they know their team can't win, television goes off. And
what a lot of men will say to me through this research is, 'I just felt
like I couldn't win.'"
A sports metaphor for talking about men? Please, go on for a few more paragraphs like this, it isn't tiresome or cliche at all...
For the first five years of his marriage,
AJ says things were rocky with his wife, Janet. "We got to the point
where we were really living in separate parts of the house. I went
downstairs every time I came home from work..."
The Oprah guru goes on to say AJ eventually cheated on his wife. Honestly, we're not sure the word "cheated" is appropriate, though technically correct, in this case. You were living in separate wings of the house? Unless AJ is a cover for "William J. Clinton," we're pretty sure this guy's marriage was going to end anyway...
But maybe you have a different opinion. Hating on CNN and this stupid story? Not debatable, sorry.
