Bad move, brother:
Jude Law and Sienna Miller have been seen in public together for the first time since the Cold Mountain actor confessing to having an affair with his children's nanny last month. The couple, who have been meeting in private in a bid to salvage their engagement, took a walk across London's Hampstead Heath yesterday in a public show of unity. A friend of Miller's tells British newspaper The Sun, "Sienna hasn't totally forgiven Jude but she is doing her best to work things out with him. She really loves him and is devastated by his betrayal. He has been doing everything in his power to convince her he made a stupid mistake and it won't happen again."
What's the point? Here's a hint, Jude: she's never going to forgive you. Oh, she may say she forgives you, after months and possibly years of groveling, sleeping on the couch, and enduring countless (perfectly justifiable) screeds about your no good, cheating ass. But she never will. Somewhere, in the recesses of her consciousness, the fact that you nailed the nanny on a pool table will always be lurking about. It'll be on the tip of her tongue every time you have an argument, and never far from her mind the next time you do a location shoot with Scarlett Johansson.
It would be bad enough if they weren't celebrities, but if Law and Miller do end up together, every article about them from now until the day they die - even if it happens while blasting across the alkali flats in a jet-powered, monkey-navigated rocketcar - will contain a footnote about Law boning the babysitter back in 'Aught-Five.
Even yours truly still gets grief from The Wife about shit I did ten years ago. I'm not saying it's undeserved (heh), but catching hell for drunken displays of verbal idiocy is one thing, I can't imagine the fallout from getting caught with another woman.
Assuming I survived the incident at all, that is.
"once a cheater, always a cheater"
Now, come on, there can be exceptions, right? Extenuating... oh, nevermind.
But, Pete's right, that relationship is burnt, and Jude needs to move on.
So, whose kid is it anyway? His? Hers? Theirs?
Sienna Miller is HOT-T-T-T though...he's smart to try and weasel his way back in.
And you think it's tough getting shit about stuff you did ten years ago, I regularly get punched at 4 a.m. for stuff I do in my wifes DREAMS. Yeah....real fair.
She needs to take the advice of the guys who wrote the book, He's Just Not That Into You and "Don't waste the pretty". The woman is beautiful, young, rich and has a career most twenty somethings would kill for. Why is she wasting her time with an overrated, sexually ambiguous, gotta-prove-I'm-a-man horndog who is willing to jeopardize his children's emotional security by boinking their nanny?! Sienna, for Christ's sake, dump his sorry ass! Even Tom Cruise would be a step up.
If they aren't married, he didn't commit adultery. I'm not say that justifies cheating on a significant other who is less than a spouse. But, they aren't married. He didn't break any law. And he didn't break any vows.
Course, on the flip side, if someone is boning the baby sitter you really ought to consider how committed to the idea of getting married in the first place. Once a cheater, always a cheater. So the perspective Mrs. Jude Law would be wise to cut her losses. Because if she marries him and he cheats again, it's not like she didn't get fair warning that he is an unfaithful scum bag. Caveat emptor, and all that.
