When Kristen Stewart and Rupert Sanders had their affair, they hurt a whole lot of people besides just their significant others. Now, word on the street is that Kristen is racked with guilt over what happened to Sanders' two young children. Hmmm. Here's an idea: maybe DON'T cheat when there are kids involved.
Seriously, the truth about affairs is that when a married person has one, not only do they hurt their spouse, they also hurt the whole family. Any man who cheats and feels fine about what he is doing to his wife ought to look at his kids and think again.
Still, that is not Kristen's problem. That is all on Rupert.
We live with such a blame the woman mentality in this culture. No matter what happened, somehow it's the woman who is at fault. That isn't always true. In this case, Kristen wasn't the married one. Sure, she was committed, but she has no kids. She has no husband.
Rupert Sanders is the father of these kids and what he did to them is his own fault. KStew needs to worry more about her own life.
The fact is, when a person cheats, their entire family is the victim. It sort of makes cheating seem a little less alluring, no? What kind of person would purposely hurt or break up the family of a little child? But see, Stewart didn't do that. Sanders did.
The guilt makes sense. It shows she has a conscience. But the guilt isn't hers. As for men (and women) who cheat when they have kids, it's a very simple thing not to do. And yes, cheating hurts the kids. It hurts them terribly.
Anyone who believes otherwise is just fooling themselves.
Do you think KStew should feel bad?

Part of me thinks that she shouldn't feel bad because they aren't her kids and it's on him to take responsibility for his actions but at the same time if she knew that he had children before their little rendezvous then that's her fault too. I do think that she is getting the short end of the stick in this whole situation because it seems like a substantial amount of the blame is being put on her and nobody is really talking about him so much. I actually think it's a good sign that she feels bad about how their actions are affecting his wife and children because that shows that she's not a completely terrible person. She has feelings too and she's owning up to the fact that she made a mistake and that they hurt a lot of people with their actions. I commend her for trying to do the right thing after the fact.
Yes, I do...and the notion that its ALL the married persons fault shows this authors immaturity.
If someone is knocking at your front door wanting to come in when you know damn good and well they have a home to go to, you CAN and SHOULD tell them to get the hell away from you. Not saying it's all her fault....but yes, she does have some culpability too.
Kristen is getting 'most of the blame' mainly because
1) men have often been thought of as nothing but sex crazed idiots who can't help following where their peter leads them.
2) Kristen is the more famous of the two, not many people can name a producer right off the top of their heads. Then, there's that little Hollywoods top paid actress title hanging over her head. (Course that's probably history, now.)
3) He isn't even an American producer. He's British. Even now, most people wouldn't know his whole name.
Yes, she's young and being so, pretty self centered. So she'll screw up. But that doesn't make her less responsible for her behavior, esp when you consider she grew up in movies. She knows the score.
they both are just as wrong as the other, but don't act like kristen didn't know rupert was married with kids. they both knew and decided to fuck up together, he's a bad husband and dad and she's a whore who broke a heart....end of story
No they are both at fault her for cheating on Rob and him for messing around on his wife. Here is something they both need to do if you are not happy with the person you are with leave them before you go hook-up with someone new. You are FAMOUS YOU WILL GET FOUND OUT AND IT WILL BE ALL OVER THE PAPER AND NET!!!!!!! News Flash
Oh my goodness Liza Wood, aren't we just a bit judgmental? Don't call Kristen a whore, cause you never saw her take any money. But You seem to know so much about it, that maybe you are the WHORE. Leave Kristen alone, enough, is enough already, & we've all had enough, of your kind of GRAP MOUTH.
How about just don't cheat. Cheaters never prosper. Doesn't matter if you are famous or not, a parent, married or committed. Its worse when kids are involved but just not cheating saves a lot of pain for all people. Just be real and honest. It's prob just a publicity stunt anyway.
