I rarely blog about Hollywood actors and their decadent lives, but I’ll make an exception today.
Knowing human nature the way I do (because I have one), I understand the tendency to be so self-absorbed you can’t see straight. For instance, women who have sex with other women’s husbands are profoundly self-absorbed on so many levels. I’ll elaborate.
I’m sure you’ve all heard that Hollywood rogue Jude Law cheated on his fiancée Sienna Miller with his children’s nanny, whether you wanted to hear it or not. It’s all over the place. Much to my chagrin, I read some of the stories. Law recently starred in a remake of the movie Alfie and ironically, his character was also a rogue. A few years ago Law and his ex-wife Sadie Frost (pictured) split up because he’d cheated on her. Frost had also gone through post-partum depression.
What I didn’t know was that Law cheated on Frost with not just any woman; he cheated on her with Sienna Miller.
I couldn’t care less who did what to whom, but I want you to see an age-old lesson emerging from this mess. If a man is willing to cheat on his wife with you or anybody, you are (should be) fully aware that he is not an honorable man. If he actually cheats on his wife with you, you’re not an honorable woman. There’s a reason the word ladies is in quotation marks.
Here is where you get it twisted. You have the nerve and indecency to be shocked when he cheats on you! These are your warped thoughts: 1) You believe there’s something inherently special about you that would cause him to change his ways; 2) You believe the reason he cheated on his wife is because she was an unlovable, controlling, castrating b**** while you, on the other hand, are loving and understanding. Tragic irony.
Evil and “un-Christian” as it may sound to some, I laugh out loud whenever I hear that a man was caught cheating on the woman he cheated on his wife with. I absolutely love it. For a heartbroken ex-wife, no other revenge is half as sweet.
The Message: to a roguish, unfaithful man, you are not special. You’re just a convenient and willing accomplice to his treachery. Whatever pain his wife went through when you slept with her husband, may the pain you feel when (not if) he cheats on you be a thousandfold.

I feel obliged to start by saying that the safest attitude for a redeemed sinner to have towards sin is that anyone is vulnerable to any temptation, no matter how repugnant it is today (Proverbs 16:18; 1 Corinthians 10:12).

LaShawn Barber reminds the ladies that it is bad form to sleep with another woman’s husband, steal him away and then expect monogamy from the bloke. Regarding the Jude Law, Sienna Miller, Sadie Frost and mystery nanny square (I was going to write triangle, but there are too many women involved), Barber is embarrassed that she evens knows details of the sordid story. How Law was married to Frost (two kids), made movie “Alfie” with Miller and had affair, left Frost and kids, got engaged to Miller and then had affair with children’s nanny. Having spent some time in a doctor’s office last week, I know the story too. […]
