        JackDawson always shoots on the back - oblique Dec 10, 11:17
    - hehe -- nm - oblique Dec 10, 11:15
i have a question - why do people get *angrier* with the person their SO cheated with, than the SO themself? - El Fandie Dec 10, 11:08 22
- I think it is instinct, they are territorial and have an inate instinct to drive off the intruder -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Dec 10, 11:18
- I have enough rage to take it out on both--but the SO is easier to get to. -- nm - Amy Dec 10, 11:13
- To blame your SO is to put some blame on yourself for having somehow failed them or made a mistake by choosing them in the first place. - Mop Dec 10, 11:12 4
  - this trend of individual responsiblity for the SO cheating on you is a little disturbing -- nm - kare Dec 10, 11:14 3
    - I don't know how common it is, but if someone blames the "alien" rather than the SO, this is why I think it is. -- nm - Mop Dec 10, 11:15 2
      - I don't believe it's accurate or logical, but in such situations, few things are logical. Things get emotional and illogical quickly. -- nm - Mop Dec 10, 11:16 1
        
        fair enough -- nm - kare Dec 10, 11:17
- I was equally upset at both of them. - kelly Dec 10, 11:12 1
  - IT WAS JUST THAT ONE TIME AND WILL SAID YOU'D BE OK WITH IT!!!!! -- nm - Dano Dec 10, 11:24
- Depends on who the dude is. When I was cheated on, I never knew the guy and based on the situation, I couldn't blame anyone but her. - Name Withheld By Request Dec 10, 11:11
- Because I can work out the issues with the SO. The other asshole knew she was taken and shouldn't have done anything -- nm - Mr. Havens Dec 10, 11:10 2
  - not speaking of a specific case, but who is to say WHAT the other person knows? and, that person has no commitment to you, but your SO does. -- nm - El Fandie Dec 10, 11:11 1
    - In my case specifically, the other person very much knew she and I had been dating for a very long time - Mr. Havens Dec 10, 11:14
- This worked out great for me with my first girlfriend. I think it's because the emotion is less complicated, so easier to act out upon at first. - TFox Dec 10, 11:10
- transference/denial is easier. -- nm - mafic Dec 10, 11:10
- Because blaming the third person doesn't reflect on you - they're just some stranger who came in and wrecked your perfect relationship. - Roger More Dec 10, 11:09 1
  - [deleted]
- I am an equal opportunity blamer/beat er upper in this regard - maybe it is lack of focus? - Epiphany Dec 10, 11:09
- i know! i think it's easier, frankly. a little bit of blissful ignorance. "my SO would never do that if it wasn't for that evil tempter/temptress." -- nm - kare Dec 10, 11:09
- Territorialism. Attack the invader. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 10, 11:08

  - *phew* -- nm - znufrii Dec 10, 11:09
Google published their year end Zeitgeist. Not sure if we saw it before. Winner is... -- (link) - oblique Dec 10, 11:07 4
- No. NO, dammit! I knew someone would post this! This is NOT Google's top searches of 2008, God dammit! - Mop Dec 10, 11:08 3
  - I've got issues. I need help. -- nm - Mop Dec 10, 11:12
  - I didn't say top searches. I said Zeitgeist. *slap* -- nm - oblique Dec 10, 11:09 1
    - My frustration is more with the media who is claiming otherwise. - Mop Dec 10, 11:10

I'm not sure in which direction to make this analogy, so I'll just pick one: Twilight is the Jack Johnson of books. -- nm - TFox Dec 10, 11:05

  - Can't seem to make links work. - Old Antarctic Explorer Dec 10, 11:04 2
    - my bad, sorry. - Old Antarctic Explorer Dec 10, 11:07
    - the link goes in the Optional Link URL box. The title for the link is optional (although confusingly not designated as such). -- nm - Beryllium Dec 10, 11:05
I've heard this story before from Reed Hastings (Netflix CEO) but I've always liked it -- (link) - oblique Dec 10, 10:59 3
- What a sweet story. -- nm - Mop Dec 10, 11:04
- that's cool. one thing i saw like this was when i was in library school the dean came into one of the classrooms and saw a spill... - x Dec 10, 11:02 1
  - nice. That's almost unbelievable. -- nm - Don Homer Dec 10, 11:02

Amy: he called his own mom Mrs. Lastname? wow. -- nm - loosilu Dec 10, 10:56 2
- "Mrs. Feeney taught her son about wine." Ugh, the third person thing, too. -- nm - Amy Dec 10, 10:58 1
  - wow, that's creepily fascinating. -- nm - loosilu Dec 10, 10:58
The free agents I'd want the Orioles to get are Adam Dunn and Ben Sheets. -- nm - Inigo Dec 10, 10:54 2
- Inigo, are you from MD? - MDH Dec 10, 11:05
- I could see those being ok. Sheets is scary b/c you don't have the pitching depth to cover his likely injuries. - TFox Dec 10, 10:57
[deleted] 52
- Happened to me, and yes, I found out. -- nm - MDH Dec 10, 11:10
- Nope. Obey The Bro Code. -- nm - Shaun Dec 10, 11:06
- kissed someone once (he was a good friend, but i obviously knew his long term girlfriend.) -- nm - El Fandie Dec 10, 11:05
- Would it be a problem if I did this with a coworker post breakup while we still have a vendor relationship with the ex? - Max Dec 10, 11:03 3
  - [deleted] 1
    - Max is a photocopier salesman. "We made 34,127 copies month and I banged your girlfriend 8 times." - Max Dec 10, 11:09
  - you have the best job -- nm - oblique Dec 10, 11:04
- In college I had a one-night~ish stand with my then roommate's ex-girlfriend. - JaxSean Dec 10, 11:01
- [deleted] 2

      - YSMM! -- nm - Mr. Havens Dec 10, 11:02
- Of course not. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Dec 10, 10:59

  - oh god. a friend of mine has a vegas story like this. - mafic Dec 10, 11:07 1
    - Neechay. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 10, 11:13
  - How the "first meeting" go then? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 10, 11:01 4
    - Oh god, a day later I saw them leaving her room together (we lived in the same dorm, across the hall). Shock and awe. -- nm - Amy Dec 10, 11:02 3
      - oh my. did you ever tell her? -- nm - kare Dec 10, 11:03 2
        
        (never mind. second answer. definitely a she-didn't-need-to-know.) -- nm - kare Dec 10, 11:04 1
        
        oh wait. he was already dating her?! god i'm slow. - kare Dec 10, 11:08

  - bah, totally your fault. friend code! you don't go there! ;) -- nm - kare Dec 10, 10:57 8
    - get express permission first - it is the code -- nm - Epiphany Dec 10, 10:58
    - But *she* started it. "Oh, hey, you want to go to the movies?" - oblique Dec 10, 10:58 6
      - even still. I'm just sayin - bah - it's the in past. now you know - Epiphany Dec 10, 10:59 5

  - Think mellow, weed, and no shoes. -- nm - Mop Dec 10, 11:14
  - Curious George soundtrack -- nm - oblique Dec 10, 10:59 1
    - [deleted]
  - crappy singer, though slightly better (if being better than 0 means anything) than John Mayer. -- nm - Don Homer Dec 10, 10:57 2
    - Better than John Mayer. That is faint praise indeed -- nm - Mr. Havens Dec 10, 11:00
    - Oh, I wouldn't say that. It's hard to throw under Jack Johnson. Mayer tops him on guitar skill alone. -- nm - TFox Dec 10, 10:58
  - mediocre kings d-man. -- nm - mafic Dec 10, 10:56
- If I'm being honest, this fact always makes me embarrassed for you. -- nm - TFox Dec 10, 10:54 3
