DPM Joyce finally resigned, undoubtedly under much pressure. He really thought he was going to ride it out.

While I was in England I read about the actor Ewan McGregor who left his wife of 22 years for a young actress he met doing a film. This actress (OW) has now left Ewan McGregor because she says she's tired of being called a home-wrecker!

I have two things to say about this:
1          Good for the people who don't think it's ok to break up families.
2         How about apologizing for what you did?
I don't think she learned anything from this experience. I suspect that similar to many of our H's OWomen - they just get smarter at it. Next time, she'll pretend that she doesn't want to wreck his home, and then he'll be all defensive of her whenever anyone accuses her of knowingly going out with a married man.

The thing that stands out about all of these affairs is they don't end happily.

Does anyone here imagine the DPM (former) will be happy with his 33 year old affair partner and new baby now he is 50 years old? 

I feel for his wife who gave him 30 years of her life and four beautiful girls.  Fortunately they have not featured in the media, so that's a blessing. 

If ANY of these situations ended well, we would all feel better but I have never found one that did have a 'happily ever after' scenario.

This was not an article about MLC in any way, but there was one person featured in it that just screamed out MLCer at me:

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/04/technology/dorm-living-grown-ups-san-francisco.html

Look for the section 'I was looking for more meaning.'

So this woman loses her job on the East Coast, divorces her husband, suddenly moves to San Francisco to live in a tiny dorm room in a bad neighborhood in San Francisco sharing the bed with her flea-ridden dog (see it scratching itself in the photo), claiming she doesn't want responsibility and prefers to make ramen (can we say college student diet?) and paint! And note how she is dressed, a tank top reading "Love is Free" and ripped jeans. And behind her bed is a huge amount of skin care products. She's happy to not have to go out and buy tinfoil when it runs out because she is sick of the responsibility for a home. I am guessing this woman is stuck in about 1994-2000 time period. I mean she even has the whole Marcia Clark from the OJ Simpson trial hairstyle look and her childhood teddy bear on the bed.

It's all in the eyes of the women in your article GIG - sad

Update on the  now EX deputy PM here in Australia -He resigned as DPM and has commented to the press he doesn't think he is the father of the AP's child as he was away on business for several weeks when she conceived.  AP's ex fiance was contacted and he isn't the father either as they broke up in 2016 according to him.  So looks like the woman was also unfaithful to Deputy PM as well.  This story is the gift that just keeps on giving

Ex DPM says he is going to love the child anyway - get me a  bucket - NOW!!

I feel a Jerry Springer DNA test coming up.

[Treasur]

Good Lord...it's like an MLC/ow playbook 
I am full of admiration for the dignity of his W and compassion for her and her daughters. I can't imagine how more rubbish I would feel if I was going through my own experience AND watching it play out in the international media.

Morte...I think your karma bus needs to nip over to Oz!

[Savoir Faire]

Treasur, I think the karma bus will get here soon enough!

One of the other female members of parliament has urged the press to stop hounding ex DPM as he is 'acting erratically' and she is worried about his mental health. 

They had better get used to erratic behavior, as all MLCers act this way.  It's the most erratic mental dis-ease without going into total psychosis.  Most people could never ac t like a MLCer as they wold ave a breakdown,  thank goodness for the fog.

Ben Affleck:
Article reporting he looks disheveled, bizarre comment, “groggy”:

Article reporting he misses his old life, not as 🤔🙄 “happy as he seems”:

The pair, though no longer together, seem to have the co-parenting thing down pat. They even go on vacations together, which is cool. Though maybe not if you’re Shookus. In Touch tapped a source (where do they find them?) who said, “She thought Ben was over Jennifer, because he truly convinced her that was the case. Now she’s telling friends that she knows ‘his heart isn’t with me.’”

Anthony Lapaglia:

And Anthony LaPaglia, 58, has been spotted looking a little worse for wear as he ran errands with Alexandra Henkel, 28, in Los Angeles on Thursday.

The Adelaide-born actor appeared dishevelled in a black Adidas hoodie, matching basketball shorts and green walking shoes

Look at these photos. These men all have the same uncanny look — one my ex also shares.
