Global 2012: Would you forgive a cheater?
Kristen Stewart at Hollywood Life Magazine’s 7th Annual Breakthrough Awards English actor Robert Pattinson at the Twilight premiere. November 2008 (Photo credit: Wikipedia)For the past couple of days, fans of Twilight stars 22-year-old Kristen Stewart and 26-year-old Robert Pattinson were shocked by Stewart's revelation that she had cheated on Pattinson. Reports reveal that Stewart had a fling with 41-year-old director Rupert Sanders, who was her director in Snow White and the Huntsman. Sanders is married to a 33-year-old model named Liberty Ross and they have two children, a seven-year-old daughter and a five-year-old son. Both Stewart and Sanders issued public apologies for their fling. The "cheating scandal" taints the idyllic notions of fans who have been rooting for the Stewart-Pattinson match since the two were paired up in the first installment of the Twilight franchise.In a People article written by Alison Schwartz and Julie Jordan, Stewart said, "I'm deeply sorry for the hurt and embarrassment I've caused to those close to me and everyone this has affected. This momentary indiscretion has jeopardized the most important thing in my life, the person I love and respect the most, Rob. I love him, I love him, I'm so sorry."
Some reports allege that Stewart and Sanders had no other choice but to come clean when, on July 24, Us magazine released some exclusive photos of Stewart and Sanders' engaging in a "makeout session." According to the article, "Kristen Stewart's Cheating Scandal: A Timeline of Events" written by Us writer Nicole Eggenberger, it seemed as if Stewart and sanders "couldn't get enough" of each other.
Pattinson was devastated by Stewart's infidelity. Reports say he has left the home he shared with Stewart and has gone into temporary seclusion. Despite what has happened, there are still those who believe that Pattinson will forgive Stewart and their relationship will recover from her fling.
The Pattinson-Stewart-Sanders scenario doesn't just happen in Hollywood. It happens to everyone else, too. In fact, the Yahoo! Philippines SHE staff got hold of three men who have been cheated on by their wives. The three men also have one thing in common. They all forgave their wives' infidelity and took them back.
Francis (not his real name), 38, a doctor, says he forgave his wife because he still loved her despite her mistakes. "Even if she had an affair, I still didn't stop loving her. Of course, when I took her back, I told her I'd leave if it happened again. Once is more than enough. It was a good thing that we didn't have kids yet when it happened," he related.
For his part, Jeff (not his real name), a 29-year-old ad executive, chose to take back his wife because he knew she was sorry for what she had done. "I appreciated the fact that she was the one who came clean about what happened. It took some time for me to trust her again. But it's been three years since her affair and we're okay now," he said.
Brian (not his real name), 35, an architect, said that he and his wife split up briefly and then got back together only after they went through marriage counseling. "There were some issues that she had that she had to deal with first before we decided to get back together," he explained. "When we were back together, the two of us put in more effort to communicate and nurture our relationship. Other than that, it's all still a gamble. I guess I still had enough love for her to forgive her for it."

Global 2012: Kristen Stewart betrays Team Edward
Kristen Stewart of "Twilight" fame plays on the vampire mystique at the 82nd Academy Awards, March 7, in Hollywood, Calif. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)We are shocked SHOCKED at the tawdry flameout of Kristen Stewart, 22, and Robert Pattinson. The highest paid actress in the world kissed her married "Snow White and the Huntsman" director Rupert Sanders, 41, and the paparazzi snapped it up. We feel Pattinson's pain. Stewart's pain. Hey, we even feel the pain of the director, suddenly stepping into the "Twilight" cast in the home-wrecker role. Still, most of the ire is directed at Stewart as Team Edward fumbles at the finish line, apparently on the verge of proposing. There are few clearer ways to express that a relationship is over than to kiss another man (or woman). It's the coward's way out, but it's a way out.
This is the star's "Scarlet Letter" moment, what Melissa Silverstein at IndieWire candidly calls "the public shaming of Kristen Stewart." But before we get celebrity gossip whiplash, let's pause to remember that Kstew and RPats are media constructs — brands traded like margarine on the cover of Us Weekly, People, or the National Enquirer. The "Twilight" duo's coupledom is as material as John Travolta's marriage. Oops! Followed by belated revelations that Travolta had a long-term relationship with a man. Tell me: Who in the offices of Us Weekly didn't know that already? (I worked there for 11 years — trust me on this one.) Or the fairytale romance of TomKat that was more of a boardroom contract servicing the Tom Cruise brand. To me, the question in that case is why Katie Holmes made the deal with the devil (OK, money is part of it for sure).
The role of America's supernaturally strung-out sweetheart never sat easily on Stewart — and it's that sense of unease that was so perfect for the teen grunge goddess Bella Swan. Given the chance, Stewart made dark indie movies on the side. In "The Runaways," she played rock rebel Joan Jett — and kissed co-star Dakota Fanning. In the quirky "Welcome to the Rileys," she starred opposite James Gandolfini and Melissa Leo as a New Orleans runaway lap-dancer that the couple tries to tame and adopt after their own daughter dies tragically. In both these box office flops, Stewart was drawn to kohl-eyed outsiders whose inner rage clawed at the delicate external beauty.
While Stewart may be romantically linked to Sanders, his direction of her in "Snow White and the Huntsman" (now sequel-bound) was no smoking gun. The smoky fable had the unflattering effect of showcasing co-star Charlize Theron's ample talents. Stewart's not a still beauty or a Jennifer Lawrence action heroine of laser focus. Her line readings when Snow White rallies the troops of dwarves and warriors at the movie's climax presents an awkward imitation of a St. Crispin's Day speech. She seems to leave the would-be warriors more stupefied than inspired although, perhaps I am projecting my own stupefaction there.
"The Hunger Games" connection: Katniss and Peeta forever
Stewart found herself in a position parallel to Katniss vis a vis Peeta from the rival, supernatural-free saga, "The Hunger Games." My 13-year-old daughter -- and guru in all things "Twilight" and HG — shared this insight with me. In "The Hunger Games," Woody Harrelson's cynical Haymitch Abernathy makes it clear to Katniss (Lawrence) that creating the illusion of a romance with Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) will save her life,and possibly Peeta's too. The moment Katniss places her hand in Peeta's atop their flaming chariot during the games' opening ceremony, she comes closer to survival and further from her true feelings. This is doubly complicated because Peeta has always carried a torch for Katniss, while her hometown hero Gale Hawthorne (Liam Hemsworth) witnesses this betrayal on TV surrounded by their families.
Clearly, it's messier when there are real beating hearts off-screen. Stewart's apparent shame, Pattinson's embarrassment, director Sander's guilt are all to some degree real, however cushioned by paychecks we will most likely never experience. Whatever Stewart's true feelings, and I can't venture a guess, it was immensely good for the franchise that she and Pattinson had a romance that went beyond the screen and spilled onto exotic beaches around the globe and splashed across the covers of endless tabloids.
