I just had to share this because it's eating me! Very shocked!
Watched this today show that talked about this website called http://www.ashleymadison.com.
The creators of this site actually say if your partner gains weight (or as they put it, gets fat) and/or their appearance dulls, it's not only alright to cheat on them but completely justified. There are almost 12 million members on this site! They had guys backing it up saying that if "I'm not attracted to my wife cause she's gotten fat or ugly, then I'm going to find someone that I am attracted to". I'm amazed! Wowzers!
This is seriously their AD. Unbelievable!

so how long have you been living under your rock?
just playin, but this website has been around for quite a while.
And gives you an idea of what marriage is all about these days.................................... lol0 -
Yeah, that's been around for quite some time.
Basically what the rest of the internet is doing, but they just come right out and say it.0 -
Yupp, nothing new. Although, I guess there is a market that would like fat women and will now not use this web site any longer ^^
I guess, at the end of the day, if your partner thinks they have the right to cheat, you have the right to call your relationship off...0 -
I doubt that an ad will push anyone over the edge. if someone's going to cheat, they'll cheat regardless.0
-
looks like a ad for a internet pron site or escort service0

:huh: I am shocked as well! WTF has this world come to?!?!0
-
Im not even mad.. this just makes me sad.0
-
Trust me, I live under no rock.
I just happened to see it on the show.0 -

There are already 12 million people using the site. They don't need to push anyone.0 -
wow seriously.. I am shocked and appalled by this. Where are peoples MORALS these days?!
I haven never ever heard of a website like this.0 -
you get married...(man or women) and then change dramatically? like in letting yourself go (get fat) and things change...life is short...why be unhappy?0

Hey that's Chris Farley

And yet this comes from a man. Why am I not surprised?0 -

come on...I said a man or a woman...dont be hatin...my remark was to both men and women0 -
And the difference between fat and beast would be? other than your maybe not quite as objective point of view?
On that point, I'd say the top one has had a bit of computer work done ^^
Anyway, yes it is sad that 12 mil ppl use this website already. But what do you expect from a society where everything has to be the biggest and the best and nothing is ever going to be good enough?0 -
Trust me, I live under no rock.
I just happened to see it on the show.
I second you. Just because you didn't know about it doesn't mean that you're living under a rock.
I'm appalled by this. Really, what are they going to come up next? The internet leaves me wondering.0 -
I'm not shocked at all. Considering it's a site designed around cheating spouses. I'm sure there's the equivalent one of brad pitt vs some gargoyle looking of a dude too.
Relax0 -
Unfortunately, some (many) people don't look at the institution of marriage the same way people used to. If the appearance changes, I'll trade her/him in on a newer, prettier model...like we do with our cars... because that's what's important? I agree, sad.0

How many times have I heard people on this website say the feel ugly or unattractive at the weight they are. Surely if you find yourself unnatractive why would you expect your SO to feel any differently. You can still love someone but if they change dramatically you may not find them attractive sexually anymore, (trust me I know first hand) and that can spell the end of a relationship. I am not endorsing cheating though. Cheating is a symptom not a remedy.0

I do agree with you. If someone is no longer attracted to their partner then they should leave. Not cheat.0 -

Seriously, Brad Pitt is not that great. Sheesh, LOL0 -
It's sad really. It's so easy to get married and just as easy to divorce. Nobody takes their vows seriously anymore.
My 6 yr anniversary is tomorrow. We've had our ups and downs. Like...bigtime. We've both put on weight. I'm on a mission to get healthy for myself and I'm determined to make it happen...with or without my husband.
That website is pretty sad. It's even more sad that they have 12 million people using it. But...I'm a believer in karma. What goes around, comes around. In due time....one way or another, it'll get back to them.
I never understood cheating. You're unhappy? You hate your life? Then leave your husband or wife? Either separate or get a divorce. What's the purpose of cheating? At least be the bigger person and admit when things are over. And leave. It's as simple as that.0 -

what if you have two young children...you and your spouse are still good parents but no sex spark remains....you want to stay together for the kids sake....cheating is worse than splitting and disrupting the kids life?0 -

IMO, what you're talking about isn't cheating. That's an open relationship. If you and your spouse have agreed that your relationship is over and you're basically roommates, I don't consider that cheating. Everyone's situation is different and if you two agree on this together, then that's up to you.
For me, I don't believe in staying together for the kids. My parents did that and finally split after 22 yrs when my sister and I were both in college. We heard every fight. We'd sit upstairs and cry listening to everything. We felt the tension at home and in publix. There was no benefit to them staying together for our sake.
People split up all the time. It disrupts everyone's lives. But sometimes it's for the better. Plain and simple. Nobody should live their lives unhappy. Kids are a lot smarter than we give them credit for.
Again, only my opinion on the matter. To each their own.0 -

Oh yeah, great morals to teach to your children. (sarcastic)0 -

Totally agree. I had to deal with the same thing with my parents. It was a relief when they finally split. Should have done it sooner.0 -
I remember when I first saw a commercial for this site, years ago. I was like "that CAN'T be a real thing" and went online to see for myself. Then my boyfriend saw the computer history. He was so pissed. :laugh:0
