Okay, here is the deal. The guy lied to her to get what he wanted and now he wants her shit that she worked for. Him being gay or not is irrelevant. He lied and went back on his word. That goes against all codes Homo or Hetero. You don't treat people that way.

She knew that dude was a homosexual. She just didnt want to admit it like so many other women who are desperate for a good man. She was a 40 something who was thrilled that a 20 something was attracted to her. Thats all.

well, I don't doubt that I wouldn't be pissed but I do question the manner she is handling it. Why date then marry a man who says he doesn't know if he's gay or not. shrug


I don't think Terry is completely a victim.....hell she got a book and a movie out of it and from I understand, she's writing about all the drama as well. She's at least gotten her $$ worth out of it. (i'm being an ass wink)

hmph! I'm not steamed for her at at all. Actually, you look at her face and you can see her pain and its pretty sad. More or less, I say that it's shame that any body can get used like that.
