Today's Evil Beet Gossip

A-Rod Was Emotionally Cheating on Wife with Madonna

So now A-Rod’s wife is all like, “My husband didn’t have sex with Madonna, but he was in love with her.” Basically, The Sun says she’s denying that his affair with her was sexual, but basically accuses him of emotional cheating. Cynthia Rodriguez says she has copies of text messages sent between Madge and A-Rod, and a source says the messages “were instrumental in convincing her that he was besotted. The messages could be released if things get really ugly.” My British-to-Americanese translator thinks that “besotted” means “in love” or “crushing.” British readers, please correct me if I’m wrong.

A friend of Alex says he acted like a “smitten schoolboy” while exchanging text messages. Um, I love it when British newspapers make up quotes. Somehow I don’t think anyone who’s friends with Alex Rodriguez has ever used the term “smitten schoolboy” ever ever ever.

Is emotional cheating as bad as physical cheating?

IMHO, it’s worse.

This is gonna come back to haunt me, but I’d way rather have my boyfriend or husband get wasted one night and pork some random chick at a bar who he doesn’t care about than be secretly falling in love with another woman and not acting on it while it slowly chips away at your relationship and sense of self-worth.

I’m sure you guys have your own opinions.

  • We already knew A-Rod was a cheating hobag. I think his was just looking for an excuse. But, whatev. However, I don’t think endlessly talking to the press is her best idea ever.

  • Besotted: to intoxicate; to make stupid; to infatuate.

    I used to think so too about emot. cheating being worse than the phys., but I think both slowly and painfully kill the partner.

    Again, what a BEAUTIFUL tie. Damn! First Brinkley’s guy with the baby blue, and now Alex with the lavender. Note to self: all assholes have beautiful ties. Must stay away.

    Last thing. I just saw a picture of his kid and HOLY MAKREL that kid is ugly. Beauty obviously skips a generation.

  • Cheating is cheating…..you wouldn’t like any kind, Beet. Mercedes is right, both kill relationship.

  • I completly agree with you Beet. And Cynthia does too. It’s been pretty well know that he’s physically cheated on her forever but she’s only now taking stand when it’s emotional. Sad. All of it.

  • Besotted is more like obsessed than ‘in love with’ . You’d usually use it at the start of a relationship too.

    The Sun is a rag, I wouldn’t take too much of what they say litterally

  • What is IMHO???

    I don’t know Beet.. I’m very crazy when it comes to cheating.. Let’s say porn is cheating, to me.. So yeah, having my husband flirting with other women or even worse, having feelings for somebody else wouldn’t be good at all in my eyes.. I don’t know, i just wanna be the one and only for him.. Which is not gonna ever happen, cus you know how men are… But i would like to be the one and only, that’s for sure..

    Lol.. Sorry, i got you confused with my doctor for a sec.. ill shut up now.. lol

  • Tako…IMHO means in my humble opinion. And i agree w/ Beet that emotional cheating is a lot worse than just random sex. It takes a lot more for guys to get emotional attached to another woman. It also means alienating your current partner emotionally [and probably physically]. Sex is just sex, an hour tops and it’s over. Emotional cheating has a lot more effort invested in it.

  • Tako, IMHO= In My Honest Opinion

    And question for you: how do you manage to still stay in a marriage KNOWING that your husband is never gonna treat you /be satisfied by you 100%. I mean, you even said it yourself it’s “not gonna ever happen…” so why in the world would you get yourself into this position??? I’m not trying to be rude or anything, but is it just because your so scared of being alone that you’d rather settle for this messed up position than, I dunno, go somewhere by yourself?? I mean, whats the thinking behind it? ‘Well, even though he was staring at the grocery girls’ boobies, he did cuddle with me in bed last night, so I guess that makes it ok’??? I promise I’m not trying to be rude, it’s just that after dating lots of guys and realizing that EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM IS LIKE THAT, even the good little Christian boy who sits with you in church and still notices that hott huge-assed girl sitting a pew ahead but just pretends to not notice her b/c he’s w/ u, still they all have the same things running through their minds ALL THE FUCKIN TIME and getting married to such a jackass shows just how much you’re willing to disrespect yourself because it’s like telling him ” you know what? I know I’ll never have your 100%, but I’m such a loser I’ll settle for your 75% if only you’d marry me”.

    Ok, that was kinda harsh towards the end, I didn’t mean to be that blunt and rude, sorry, but I just really don’t understand this whole process. And I prmoise I”m not trying to pick on you or anythiing, you’re just a fellow Beeter and I’m not trying to attack you in any way, just wanna figure out why. WHY?????? WHY THE HELL WHY?????

    I guess I got you confused with my doctor, as well :)

    ps. this has nothing to do with what I wrote above, but your name has made me extremely hungry. I’m craving mexican food now (tacos) yummm

  • Yeah, besotted is more like smitten or infatuated.
    The Sun is hardly a newspaper. It’s more like toilet paper, except I wouldn’t even wipe my bum with it.

  • Well I’ll be odd man out. I don’t think there is such thing a thing as emotional cheating. If a mate is seriously investing their emotions into other greener pastures the relationship is over. It’s not possible to cheat (emotionally) on something that isn’t there anymore (emotion/love). Unless you’re in love with two people–which I never buy. Where as with sexual cheating– you know whether or not the person had feelings for their booty call– it still hurts to know that they chose to cheat on something (the emotional bond built in the relationship.) This is me trying to simplify my stance. MHO I find it easier to move on if I know the person moved on emotionally–that there isn’t anything there anymore (and who wants to hold on to that). Where as I hate to know a person sexual cheated (booty call) on our emotional bond–something still there. Harder to move on because you know it’s salvageable, but you feel betrayed. Again MHO.

  • every person that gets cheated, gets it for one or more reasons
    they are not innocents
    and the fact that this spouse spied on her man’s sms indicates she is deserving what she gets
    spying on other person’s mail or similar is a crime
    IMHO

  • According to a news report the bitch of a wife denied him access to his kid. He is finally allowed to see his kid when he is playing a game in Toronto this weekend I believe.

    I don’t care if he was just text messaging or actually sticking his dick in that Madonna man-woman. No mother should have the right to kidnap and hold a child as ransom from the father just because she isn’t getting exclusive control over his penis.
