I might be able to forgive an affair.

While the wife was going to thrift stores to pick up used clothing for their growing brood, he was spending thousands on a stripper (according to the stripper.)

I couldn't forgive the betrayal of an economic partnership.

Umm this sounds like a fabrication. Josh was repentant, (I guess) I'm wondering if the Bates family in Tennessee might take over the spot light in the coming months? They just had their 19th as well?

I find the Bates family more amusing and I like their music.

The guy's an idiot and a complete loser. He should just implode.

If his wife decides to keep him, she needs to put him on a short leash. He needs more supervision.

I just saw something that said that his wife is doing some soul searching to try to determine how she can change and become a better wife, because somehow it is her fault that he needs to do those things. She will never kick him to the curb because that crazy Christian cult they belong to has women convinced that they MUST have a man and MUST have bushels of kids, and anything wrong in the marriage is HER fault. And since none of them has anything much to do with anybody outside their own church and that group of friends, it is not likely that anybody with any sense can get through to her. Or any of them. How sad is that! Talk about brainwashing!

I have heard about some women swallowing that line, to the effect that if a husband strays, it's the wife's fault because she obviously failed him in some way.

Salesmanship?

It's part of their cult (Gothardism/ATI), which Anna Duggar grew up in, to blame the victim of cheating or abuse, especially if they are female.

The "counseling" worksheet they give sexual abuse victims is available here. It is truly disgusting.

I'm an atheist and know all about Ashley Madison. When I heard of it, I thought it was a travesty. My personal integrity and respect for DW made the very idea of that thing a travesty. My feelings about it have nothing to do with sin or god, as I believe in neither. It has to do with respect and love. Josh Duggar is a douchebag. He knows he can grovel and repent, and his Jesus will forgive him for practically anything. I have no such illusions.

Well he's apparently checked in to some sort of religious addiction treatment program where Jesus will heal him over the course of the next six months. In the meantime, his wife is stuck single parenting four kids, five and under. Douche bag is a good word for him.

He's worse than a douche bag.
He is an enema bag.
