What do you think of "bigwigs" who run companies that cheat on their wives or husbans.. I don't want to point my finger at any one person or any one gender.. We all know it happens. I have known of it happening where I worked between our boss and an employee.. He had 2 children and a wife. I only learned of the facts after I was no longer there, thank God. Have you ever known bosses to wield their power to have hidden affairs with employees? What is your opinion of the infidelity to spouses such as this?

I really hate these kind of people. I am a wife, myself, and if i get to learn my husband is cheating on me I will really explode like a volcano and end the relationship right there and then. These kind of people who practice infidelity are not contented to try one flesh that they have to taste other flavours just for the sake of bodily pleasure.

sad to say, not as many women..or men.. have the courage to walk away from their cheating spouse ..they are afraid of winging it alone..They don't have enough self confidence to believe they are worth more then their cheating spouse is doing to them.

I have and I find I have absolutely no respect especially when they make their foolish acts public and whether he is a boss or not he certainly should not be doing that. But hey it happens and well they simply should be ashamed of themselves as if they are not happy at home, it would be much more respectful to let the wife go and not hurt her terrible later.

I know what you mean.. and I think both parties in such a situation should be ashamed of themselves.

I don't know for sure if any of my bosses have ever cheated but I have suspected a couple of them of cheating. I think it is very disrespectful regardless of who the person is. I would feel very uncomfortable around a boss and the employee if I knew they were cheating.

I remember confronting the person I heard was cheating and tellng her .. that he and she should be ashamed... The boss was married and had little children. Wealth gave him a ticket to hell, I suppose?

they are jerks, most of them use thier power in a company to get what they want, and the ones who they cheat with figure its towards their benfit or just scared to say no

Usually if a person has money and is found to be cheating that way; more then likely he/she is also cheating and doing wrong somewhere else too..The power of money .. seems it covers a multitude of sins in the business world..sigh!

We may not know the reasons that a boss is cheating on their spouse. it is not our place to judge them on this.If the cheating is done in the workplace, it can make it more difficult to ignore.

I think it's our duty to the other to say something of decency and morality.. To say it's not our place.. that's just sending a signal to the cheater that you are in accord..

I dislike and hate those individuals who cheat with their partners. But we should not judge them by it alone, there are so many factors why they do it. Even if i hate them, they have to be respected. they are people too who makes mistakes every now and then

Sorry..no respect for a man or woman who cheats and makes a front to their spouse as if they are not.

Some people in positions of power or authority end up with an extreme sense of entitlement. Think about the athletes, celebrities and more that we hear about who cheat with a huge number of partners. They believe themselves to be important and entitled to have whatever and whomever they want. Cheating on a spouse is a deal breaker in my books... I don't care if the person is unemployed or running a Fortune 500 company. I have no respect for anyone that does it and I don't think there is ever an excuse that is good enough to justify it.

I don't think they're very professional, as a boss they should set an example and it really annoys me to see bosses who do this as if it was me they would fire me for personal reasons without actually having a right. Where as when a boss does it, not a normal employ it sends out a message which is utterly wrong. My current boss (female) she likes to use my Illness against me, as if I don't cover shifts that other people let her down on my own shifts are effected. Oddly enough she doesn't take action against the one's who let her down as she knows they'll work out as they don't actually care about the job. It's a shame I can't just find another job easily, would be great to get away from her but at the end of the day I am happy to have the job.

Hello Joey sorry to hear that you have such a vindictive boss. IT's terrible when bosses let their power go to their head and begin to walk around like they can do what they want.. Eventually..their meanness and wrongnesss will come back to kick them and they will see how wrong they were..

No, I haven't. I only heard similar situations from others. Boss or not, I think they must not cheat on their spouses. I guess a divorce or separation would do rather than continue with a bad marriage and put the rest of the family in shame, worse in a public scandal.

Sometimes the cheater won't grant the other a divorce as he/she doesn't want to give up what they have jointly through marriage..or risk having to pay out for alimony or child support..it's sad ..and what's worse many times they walk around like they are God's gift to the world.. Ideal boss of the year..yet .so much is going on behind the public eye!
