Message: [QUOTE="willtalk, post: 3118966, member: 1220"] While agreeing with you in principle, I do not in specifics. Each of has different crosses to bear in life and while we might justifiably judge an action, we should refrain from judging the individual. I myself can think of multiple scenarios with respect to Tyler's motivations. Emotional relationships are always tricky. It is difficult for outsiders to gage those dynamics. People can totally lose their sense of reason under certain circumstances. The heart wants what the heart wants. Of course, we should always be accountable for how ethically we handle our commitments. Still, in the end, I don't feel that the reasons you gave were justifiable causes, but rather just triggers for issues or personality traits that already existed. New Marriages and new jobs are things that people deal with all the time. Still, most functional people do not usually see them as hurdles rather opportunities. In Tyler's case, he screwed up both opportunities via a single action. As to his mother's illness, he is not a child and loss of parents is all part of life. While I can also understand ( via multiple scenario's ), and will not judge him, I'll reserve my sympathies for less entitled people facing much more critical problems. I suppose most people have no clue as to the problems some people face every day. [/QUOTE]
