Chilean miner $100,000 website
Posted on 19. Oct, 2010 by Forest in General, Opinion
One of the recently saved Chilean miner’s caused massive controversy when he asked his wife and his mistress to be present when he was rescued. His wife did not attend so I guess it’s not a mutual act of infidelity and his marriage is quite probably on the rocks. I have no idea if his wife knew of the affair before the event but that’s not too important in this story. This is more a story of self respect as far as I am concerned and I am interested in the outcome.
A leading infidelity dating website that encourages people to have extramarital affairs is offering the cheating Chilean miner $100,000 to become their Spanish speaking spokesman. This would involve duties such as advertising, events blah blah blah….. I’ll be honest I don’t care really but the interesting part is that the contract would stipulate that he stays married to his wife. That is the part that interests me. Of course he has been unfaithful for a while now so I guess this would be no issue to him but I want to focus on his wife.
Chilean miner $100,000 website offer, how much should his wife get and should she even take it?
Now if a partner came to me and said “I’m cheating on you, I have been offered $100k to stay married to you a promote cheating” then of course I would do one of two things. Ask for a ton of cash or say “f**k off we are getting a divorce”.
She will no doubt be a minor (not miner) celebrity out of all this herself if she so wants. From a self respect she should tell him to take a hike but even a 25% cut could seriously improve her day to day life.
I have no idea what she should do and I am also not a reader of gossip magazines so I personally would not bash her self respect and would respect her even if she takes the cash. However the gossipers may not and this could be hard for her to handle and still feel good about herself. Plus her husband would get away with it and this would be a terrible message to people dealing with cheating partners…… Really tough one!
What should she do and how much should she ask for?

Ok let’s just stop being pretence and accept the fact that infidelity was and always will be with us. Now we can hope that one day we will all be faithful and happy but at this time, with everything that’s happening in the world I don’t think infidelity is the worse thing that could happen to you. It hurts but it’s not the end of the world and you do over come and as far as self respect goes that all depends on the person being cheated on. No one can make you feel bad if you don’t let them. So as far as I’m conerned she should balance everything out ( she’s living this situation nobody else) and do what is best for her and her kids and ask herself this question: Is living with this guy so bad that I couldn’t put up with gossip and have a better life in the mean time for me and my kids?
Nobody should judge anybody because if your not living the situation then you don’t have any idea about what goes on. We could talk about the moral thing to do but was he thinking in these terms when he was with his mistress, I doubt it very much. So do what do what’s best for you and yours and f…….. the rest.

Hey Sashel, I agree she shouldn’t be judged…. Logistically it would be good for her to get a cut of the cash…. However maybe someone else will offer her a good chunk of change for speaking up for Women’s rights in these situations, who knows what will happen. I just thought the situation was interesting.

How weird… if I were here I’d be inclined to say screw off, too, but some of that money could go a long way. Wonder how long the contract says they need to remain married?

Well in her favor she holds him by the balls right now so she may want to stay married so she can pull off the threat if he plays up at any point!

That’s VERY weird…..and what’s the conversion rate? The only reason I bet this guy won’t take the offer is he’ll be looking to land a bigger fish……maybe like with his mistress/wife – he thinks the grass is greener….

FYI, from Wikipedia:
The comma ( , ) is a punctuation mark. It has the same shape as an apostrophe or single closing quotation mark in many typefaces, but it differs from them in being placed on the baseline of the text. Some typefaces render it as a small line, slightly curved or straight, or with the appearance of a small filled-in number 9.
The comma is used in many contexts and languages, principally for separating things.

Oh, Hi, Greg,
Nice, to, see, you, around, these, parts, again, and, great, to, see, that, you, are, using, your, time, to, leave, some, nice, positive, comments,……
Yes my writing is not the best but i’m not a journalist or aspiring writer. Just some guy who writes about what he enjoys. The web gives me the freedom to do that and I am very thankful even if it clearly irks you
.
Have a nice day.

Having a bit of claustrophobia, this tragedy (the miner’s being trapped) had me really interested and I’m really thrilled that all the men were rescued and everyone survived. What a wonderful ending for what could have been so tragic. Now as for this guy with the wife and mistress… it’s really hard to tell without knowing more about the culture and the financial situation. Aren’t some cultures more open to the idea of having a wife and additional women on the side? I think most American women would tell him to hit the road since $100K isn’t worth that much money in America so they wouldn’t consider even half that to be worth the trouble of staying married to the guy. But if it’s normal for Chilean culture, and $100K is like $100 million, and she’s been putting up with it for years already then I say she should demand at least one third and also an end to the contract. You know like she could get divorced from him in five years. I don’t think she should have to agree to be married ’til death do us part.

That’s an interesting thought, she may have already known and may be fine with it already. Only problem is she refused to come to his rescue party so more is going on….. Who knows though and I guess it really is none of our business!

She should divorce him quickly! I mean, if he stopped committing adultery and wanted forgiveness that’s one thing. But he will be an active spokesperson for cheating! I don’t think this should tolerated, but then again, I have different values then others.
Personally, I couldn’t do it!

Hey Khaleef, the possibility of bagging $50k and having your cheating husband by the balls may be enough to keep her married to him just for the revenge factor!
I don’t do revenge much myself so if this is something she just found out I would likely divorce if I was her,
