Self-Sabotage — Yeah, Right

OK, I will give Jesse James that he prob­a­bly did grow up under dif­fi­cult cir­cum­stances. How­ever, over the last many years he has lived a life that by all appear­ances offered tremen­dous oppor­tu­ni­ties to obtain the very best pro­fes­sional help for what­ever men­tal dif­fi­cul­ties this child­hood may have cre­ated. Based upon the reac­tion of his wife to his recently exposed behav­ior, I would have expected her to have been very sup­port­ive of his seek­ing such help. Yet he has obvi­ously not respected the rela­tion­ship he had with his wife.

Of course Jesse James is not the only male star who has cheated on his wife or part­ner. Other exam­ples have included Tiger Woods, Char­lie Sheen, Ethan Hawke, Jude Law, and Sean Penn. Nor is the behav­ior restricted to stars or other peo­ple of fame. No mat­ter the role in life they obvi­ously did not respected the rela­tion­ships they had with their wives.

A very high per­cent­age of men in rela­tion­ships will not respect that rela­tion­ship is a well known fact. But it seems that more and more, men are blam­ing their behav­ior on their treat­ment as chil­dren or on being “sex addicts”. Come on guys. This is get­ting old. You have been unfaith­ful to your com­mit­ment. Per­haps you do have rela­tion­ship issues, Per­haps you do have other men­tal issues that you need help with. Well; espe­cially those of you in extremely suc­cess­ful careers; if you are so sorry now that you have been caught, why the hell did you not seek help before? I think you were just too wrapped up in your­self. I think you were not really com­mit­ted to mak­ing your rela­tion­ship work. I think you should quit lying to your­self and every­body else and admit your were out for num­ber one.
