I think it's a little tacky to say in public that you've been tempted to cheat on your husband several times (also, to say that the only thing holding you back is a "pact" is tacky and sort of redundant-- aren't marriage vows supposed to serve the same purpose?).

One would think so.

I don't think that's a fucked up view: I'd leave my husband if he cheated on me too. I'm not forgiving. And while I've never made a pact it might not be a bad idea just so he knows I'm really, really serious.

I don't think it's fucked up to take the position that adultery would end your marriage.

I do think it is fucked up to publicly acknowledge that you'd like to sleep with other men but you refrain only because you and your husband made an agreement that adultery would end the marriage. It's kind of like saying that you don't murder people because you don't want to go to jail and not because it is morally wrong to murder people.

I find cheating unforgiveable. I could never stay with someone who cheated on me, because the trust would be gone. I can totally understand her saying her marriage would be over if one of them committed adultry. However, her admitting that she wants to sleep other men was a really shitty thing to do. I mean it's one thing to think that and even tell your close friends, but don't tell millions of people that your tempted to cheat on your husband, but don't only because you made a deal. Tacky and insensitive. She really has a habit of putting her foot in her mouth. First, with the "woman's place" comments and now with this.

I don't find the view odd at all (I'd leave Batguy for adultery and he'd leave me if I cheated on him). I just find it an odd thing to make a pact about. Did they say "OK, if one of us cheats the marriage is over. Pinky Swear?"

And yeah, totally tacky to mention how often you're tempted (and also a little bizarre). I'm attracted to other men, but tempted to cheat? No. That seems to me like it should be an infrequent occurance, if it happens at all, in a reasonably stable marriage.

It could also be that she's just terribly inarticulate. But I'm going to go with odd, dysfunctional. Oh what the hell, neither of those things precludes being inarticulate. And let's through in stupid for good measure.

I agree with all of the above. I'm not married, but I can't imagine putting up with adultery. On the other hand, I wouldn't go around saying how tempted I was to cheat. How is that supposed to make your spouse feel? If you do have those feelings, keep it to yourself!

I think that is the reason behind the majority of dumb things she's said, including this. Believe it or not, I do kind of like her, but she doesn't strike me as the brightest crayon in the box. I could see her trying to say "Sure, sometimes I'm attracted to other guys, but I would never act on it, because I love my husband and don't want to jeopardize my marriage. We agreed that adultry is intolerable and that if one of us cheated the other would leave." Except, because she's not very articulate it comes out skewd and sounding like "We made a no adultry pact so even though I want to cheat on him I don't because then he'd bail."

She has made a career off of one good performance that seems like it was twenty years ago. Totally overrated. Talent and looks-wise. I have seen her face on alot of covers recently
I guess she has the lead role in another flop. When will Hollywood learn that she is not a leading actress.

Read a quote by her yesterday where she said she "doesn't know how realistic it is to expect people to commit to a relationship for life" (why'd you get married then, Kate?). Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but it seems awfully close to Jennifer Aniston's comment about who knows if there is such a thing as one great love in person's life (just a short year before her breakup)....

She's 26? Holy shit, I thought she was in her thirties! I can't believe she's younger than I am.

(Loved her one Oscar dress though-the creamy gold one, with the big lacey skirt. Soooo, 1930s!)

You must remember who this woman's mother is, and her stance on monogomy. Her mother has publicly stated ad nausium that she doesn't believe monogomy is natural (barring foxes, swans, French angel fish etc etc etc..because wow monogomy IS natural but for animals you know, go figure). Her mother obviously has a big impact on her therefore she's not going to have an issue with spouting her mother's ideology.

[girlfriday]

I have no problem with people who don't find monogamy natural, but I do wonder why she would marry if that's how she feels.
