What About Brian - What About The Wedding...

Yesterday's episode got me to thinking about how the world of cheating is so bizarre. If you ask someone who has never cheated if they think they would ever cheat, the answer is always a resounding NO. But obviously there are plenty of male and female cheaters out in the world and at some point I'm sure they also believed they would never do such a thing. It all just gets so complicated.

There are the degrees of cheating:
1. The Affair
2. The One-night Stand
3. The Kiss, But No Sex
4. The Just-A-Kiss
5. The Flirting

Then there are levels of intention:
A. Totally planned (I've reserved a hotel room/I come over to your apt in the middle of the night)
B. Oops, it just happened (I've may have been thinking about it, but didn't plan on acting on it)
C. Drunken mistake

Then the excuses:
i. I'm in love with someone else
ii. I want out of this relationship but I'm a coward so I'll just cheat on you
iii. You weren't paying enough attention to me
iv. You cheated on me so it's payback time
v. I'm just a f-ed up person

These bizzles are not happy together

It's a good thing Marjorie didn't marry Adam, right? She's at stage 3Ai, which is absolutely not a good place to be at the night before you're supposed to get married. The thing is, Adam's a total asshole so you don't sympathize with him at all even though he's really the victim here. Plus, he kind of betrayed Brian in the first place when he put the moves on Marjorie even though Brian had already expressed his interest. So really, Brian has always been the victim and he shouldn't feel bad about being in love with Marjorie.
