Nelson says it's irrelevant that Tim and Michelle didn't sleep together. What do you think?

I tend to agree. It's about intimacy, not necessarily physical.

I think Nelson needs to remember his own part in all this. So he's angry... get over it! Michelle forgave him a whole lot more than this!

I agree with you both. He can't all of sudden be the wronged man...he started this.

I think they are both guilty. But it could make their marriage stronger in the end.

I think they are both guilty but Harry is "in your face" guilty. I'm not sure many women would have let him off as easily as Michelle has.

Michelle says she's forgiven, but she doesn't act like it.

She's forgave but not forgot!

They are both very guilty, but Michelle chose to stay with him rather than booting him out and taking him to the cleaners. However, to me whether she slept with him or not is irrelevant, Michelle was emotionally unfaithful to him for over a year. I would find that more personally devastating than the act of intercourse. But as I say they both carry a lot of blame and Harry started this!

The way I see it, Nelson is having his cake and eating it; he gets to stay friends with his occasional lover and has access to their daughter. Meanwhile, poor Michelle gets her nose rubbed in it every time Nelson takes Kate for the day.

Fair point. It seems they are two people living together but mainly leading seperate lives.
