Yet he uses women for sex....women he has no interest in otherwise. When I question this I am told I am being moralistic. <BR/><BR/>I don't know who is worse...the guy..or the women who allow themselves to be in these situations!<BR/><BR/>Please tell the cottage couple I wish them all the happiness in the world and am praying for them!

I was still an undergraduate at Boston College! Despite the fact that we were getting married for the 'right' reasons in the 'right' way, many of my family members were less than optimistic (my family is not Catholic). It's sad how pessimistic peoples' views have become in regards to marriage. We've been happily married for nearly three years, and we're still looking forward to spending a lifetime together. We only wish we had gotten married sooner!Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15127599879087722419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20534374.post-87985868634217878272007-05-29T08:24:00.000-07:002007-05-29T08:24:00.000-07:00But Tom does say:‘It doesn’t affect anybody but me...But Tom does say:<BR/>‘It doesn’t affect anybody but me anyway, so why is it a big deal?’ <BR/><BR/>Excuse me, but I think it affects Bridget and the child tremendously, and also all the young fans that see that its OK for their role model to impregnate his long-term girlfriend and just walk away.<BR/><BR/>If you read the entire DETAILS article, the tone of it is that Tom is most interested in the superficial (like meeting "cool" people) and being a celebrity. He does not even mention the mother of his child.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20534374.post-34931747597502163642007-05-29T08:09:00.000-07:002007-05-29T08:09:00.000-07:00Thank you for the correction- I've edited the post...Thank you for the correction- I've edited the post to reflect the correction.M.
