I like Bowersox, the subway girl. - Dr.Vermin Mar 4, 11:48 3
- I like the chick that looks like the young Ally Sheedy & Ana Paquin hybrid -- nm - Jovian Mar 4, 11:57 1
  - Speaking of fun names, her name is Siobhan Magnus -- nm - con_carne Mar 4, 11:58
- "Not right for this competition" keeps popping into my head, but if I saw her on the street, I'd tip her. *shrug* -- nm - con_carne Mar 4, 11:51
boston.com Love Letters: Should I See the Evidence? - Diva Mar 4, 11:48 30
- So she wants permission to monitor his emails? Um, which one. I have at least 7 email addys I could use. Why should I tell you what/where - MojaveMeg Mar 4, 11:56
- first of all, don't try to blame the other woman. secondly, i think she does have a right to see the emails - Andie Mar 4, 11:56 11
  - Yes, it's a strange thing to even care about the other woman. Who cares if she knew what she was doing or not. It's up to the husband. She's not - pmb Mar 4, 12:10 2
    - this happens *all the time* though. and it makes no sense, and yet, a little sense. - TFox Mar 4, 12:12 1
      - No, I think it's fine to think the other woman is a bitch and deserves blame too, I just can't see spending time worrying about how much blame she - pmb Mar 4, 12:16
  - Right, she wasn't the married one in the equation. -- nm - Ender Mar 4, 11:57 7
    - I disagree strongly. Burglary is still a crime even if the front door was left wide open. -- nm - Max Mar 4, 12:11 6
      - [deleted] 5
        
        (I'm just making the analogy that if the other woman knew he was married, she too was doing something as wrong as he was.) - Max Mar 4, 12:16
        
        step out of the terminology for a second - if I walk onto private property and remove something without authority, is it legal because there was no - Max Mar 4, 12:13 3
        
        it's theft but it's not burglary -- nm - 16 & pixie Mar 4, 12:15 1

- eh, that's just Stacy cheating. -- nm - Max Mar 4, 11:53 1
  - Right. Actual cheating involves penetration. -- nm - David Mar 4, 12:07
- you can make a serious attempt if you want to but i says the trust bond is irreparably broken - 16 & pixie Mar 4, 11:53 9
  - Maybe I'm reading it wrong, but I don't see where they've had contact after he told her not to contact him again. -- nm - Inigo Mar 4, 11:58 8
    - That's what I'm reading. She wants permission to read his future emails. -- nm - MojaveMeg Mar 4, 11:59
    - i don't think it says she has, i think she wants to see the old emails, she wants to know if what he confessed to is the whole truth. -- nm - Andie Mar 4, 11:59 6
      - Although, I think what she really wants is the whole truth, meaning something consistent and logical. - TFox Mar 4, 12:02 5
        
        i agree, but she's trying to figure out how to feel convinced that she's got that, so she can deal with the facts. -- nm - Andie Mar 4, 12:03 4
        
        right. and reading the e-mails would do that, but would also hurt *a lot*. a really honest conversation might do it also. -- nm - TFox Mar 4, 12:05 3
        
        He should lay it all out and let her know that she can read the emails if she chooses to. It's up to her if she wants to, but she should understand - pmb Mar 4, 12:08 2
        
        The question really has nothing to do with what he should do. It's what she should do. -- nm - mara Mar 4, 12:12 1
        
        I guess what I'm saying is that's what she should require. -- nm - pmb Mar 4, 12:14
- Trust comes with time. The guy didn't boink anyone. Give him a long leash. Either he'll earn the trust or he'll hang himself with it -- nm - oblique Mar 4, 11:52
- to bad you can't get a brain transfer at marriage -- nm - Danedukenuuk Mar 4, 11:52
- Short answer: her gut is pretty much on point and there is no reason why he shouldn't share those e-mails with her if she really wants to see them. -- nm - TFox Mar 4, 11:51 1
  - This is true. If he's serious about making it right, he should let her see whatever she wants to see -- nm - oblique Mar 4, 11:54
- "I want to know what truly happened." They never met. Verify that and move on. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Mar 4, 11:51
Looks like the IW execs who got fired by Activision are taking legal action -- (link) - eag Mar 4, 11:47 3
- And maybe those IW execs were talking to EA -- (link) - eag Mar 4, 11:49

        What I mean is the premise that peole will be talking about Avatar 15 years from now does not give it weight in the Oscar race. -- nm - Spawn Mar 4, 12:09 3

Inigo; with the next International update, Avatar's international take alone puts it #1 overall - Will Hunting Mar 4, 11:39 6

    - From what I have read, skaters kick ass on the show. - Spawn Mar 4, 11:44 11
      - The dancers (even if it's a different kind of dance) and skaters and the like have a huge advantage. Just their experience learning choreography is a - pmb Mar 4, 11:49 1
