Mr.
Lion Many of us have heard about the cheating scandal and impending divorce of supermodel
Christie Brinkley from her former husband,
Peter Cook. Cook cheated on the supermodel with an
18-year-old girl
he met at a toy shop. Once Brinkley found out, she filed for divorce and
destroyed him in court. He dusted it off and is now blaming the entire
divorce on her, saying she didn't give him enough attention when he was
working hard to provide for the family.
Is the guy for real?
Not only did he cheat on his wife and kids but he also had a $3000 a
month porn addiction. And now he's going to blame everything on his
wife. Wow. He's giving all the men out there a bad name. I can see
now why women end up hating men, because of idiots like him. Dude
needs to just pack his bags, shut the hell up and move on with his life
by hiding in some distant land, never to be heard from again.
I've
never been divorced but blaming your significant other for your own
problem is not a way to move on after a break up. I've had breakups
but not once did I blame everything on my SO. It seems like a childish
thing to do.
Could Peter Cook be right in saying he cheated because he didn't get enough attention from his wife?
Have you ever blamed a breakup on your significant other?

If his wife wasn't smokin' hot he might have SOME right to say she didn't pay enough attention, but, really, dude. You have kids you should be paying attention, too as well.Â
If he was unsatisfied with the relationship he should have left rather than cheated. Obviously, he's just making an ass of himself at this point.
As for blaming breakups on exes... yes, I've done that. I often realize after the initial anger that we both had parts in it, though.
Well there were probably other reasons for the divorce. It's human nature to blame others and give into lust D:.
I'm not sure what the $3000 porn addiction has to do with backing up your argument, but it sorta justifies his reason for cheating. If Brinks gave him attention, why would he have a $3000 porn addiction in the first place?
@supersteller@xanga - the porn addiction was after she had filed for divorce.. should have added that in there but i thought it was pretty clear my bad. Just showing he still needed the sex/urge even after he was cheating on her
Sounds like someone's in denial.
He has some wrong but theres a reason why people stray from their relationship. They weren't happy and they felt like they needed to explore. I'm not saying that hes right by trying to justify his wrongs by saying that bull but i do believe that theres a reason for his actions.
Perhaps their love languages are different & he couldn't see she loved him & that made him think she didn't love him.
However, I do think it's childish to blame your breakup on your former significant other. I've never done that but it has happened to me. Worst experience ever. lol. It's stupid 'cause it takes two & the things I got blamed for were just not in my control, like socioeconomic status. haha. SERIOUSLY. -_____-"
There is never an excuse for cheating. EVER.
wow the 18 year old does look pretty good. Can't believe she's only 18!
Well, anyway, most cheaters give that kinda reason. It's a reason probably only other cheaters could relate to.
Bottom line... You should never blame your actions on someone else.
It may be true, she possibly didn't give him the attention he needed. BUT it was still his decision to go outside of the marriage for that attention, instead of confronting his wife about it like a real man.
Have I ever blamed a break-up on an SO? Yes--when the new girlfriend of the guy I THOUGHT I was dating called and threatened me. I TOTALLY blamed him...
it could be, I guess so.
For this example, Peter Cook is full of crap. If he really did feel neglected, he should have talked to her. Did she not need to work as well? Don't blame it all on your SO. You decided to cheat. You could have talked to your SO first before resolving to cheat. I think it's childish and stupid. Pull your pants up and get the problem fixed before doing something stupid. Cheating on his wife with an 18 yr old spells out utterly disgusting. Finally, if you don't like the situation, then divorce/break up with your SO. Don't prolong your unhappiness.
I do think, however, that sometimes your SO can be the one who has caused problems. That doesn't mean that you shouldn't recognize your own mistakes.
His reason for cheating was invalid and stupid. If he felt like he wasn't getting enough attention or if he felt the relationship was not satisfying then maybe he should of talked about it and just seperated on decent terms. I have never blame a breakup entirely on my ex. When a relationship doesn't work it is usually due to both individual. It's nice too think well my SO was blah blah blah so it was his/her fault the relationship didn't work, but that is retarded. Relationship isn't one sided and if it was and you somehow were clueless then well that is a fault in the relationship too. So I will just end it with the obvious: relationships are complicated, but how you deal with it is what matters.
no, he was just an ass. he had a hot wife but even that wasn't enough. you don't need porn if you have a good woman. enough said.
This guy is lame!
::sigh::
another failed relationship because of a cheating son of a bitch
No because its always BOTH our faults
You cant just blame someone for EVERYTHING, we've help contribute to the problem to
That's why couples need to settle down and talk about their problems and learn how to address it
OR ELSE
the problem would just start to escalate, until you cant save the relationship anymore
theres always a reason why a relationship doesn't work and you can't blame it on one person.
all I can say is, he should've confronted and maybe left his wife if the attention means so much.
I can relate to why he might feel that way?
but theres no need to cheat.
divorce is common anyways,
Holy crap, that guy had some balls! I can't imagine trying to pin that kind of stuff on someone else.
If he was feeling neglected he needed to discuss that with his wife, not run out to plow an 18-yr old(sorry that was crude).
I think the explanation was reasonable but his actions weren't. When you are adults and married if attention or whatever the issue is the problem you talk with your spouse about it. Its called COMMUNICATION. I hate it when men or women cheat and try to feel sorry about it and use that as a justification. Yah it might be a valid reason but your decisions to cheat wasn't the right response. Because in the end you have self control over what you do as a person. Thats like when a rapist tries to defend himself and says, "I couldn't help but rape her she turned me on and I am a man." Yah maybe she did, but you being horny or even being at a desperate state justifies your actions. You might not be able to control your sex drive but you control your actions.
Everyone is accountable for their actions. Maybe Brinkley wasn't giving him enough attention, but its a big leap from talking with your wife about the problem and dealing with it and sticking your dick in someone else. Big difference.
Lack of communication, it seems. He could have addressed the issue, but I think he wanted to cheat on Christie and wanted to keep it a secret. If a man really loved a person;they would talk about it. I think he just wanted to cheat on her
Isn't this her fourth divorce? she lost my sympathy after the second. Clearly, she is doing something wrong. Guys are typically presented as the "bad guy" when things go sour and even more so when it heads to court, where an unfavorable outcome awaits - and not knowing the whole story because the media distorts/omits so much of the truth ---- I'm going to side with Cook. Someone commented that relationships aren't one sided, yet I'm sure it never occurred to her (and it's all the girls who are up in arms) that you're getting one side of the story? I don't presume to know it all, but four divorces? Really, four? One or two instances of a fail marriage, I might give her the benefit of the doubt... but four? either she's really unlucky or there's something hiding behind the dark side of the moon.
Four divorces... she really ought to just have a revolving door entrance to a vegas style quick action marriage followed by a revolving door exit with a divorce lawyer. While I'm at it, here's a preemptive relax ladies, no need to show off your feminine fangs and kitty claws, I was only [partially] kidding. This is slow for current events huh, this happened in like July(?) and it's just now up for discussion?
Well, the porn addiction really can't be blamed on lack of attention. I personally can attest to that. Someone I loved and paid extreme attention to, I discovered had a porn addiction, and he admitted it was not anything to do with me, or anything I was or was not doing. Seek counseling, do whatever it takes to fix it, and if not fixable you should end the marraige before starting new relationships. Consider your children and the havoc these things create in their lives.
Excuses excuses. Come on, the guy has a real problem I he's not owning up to it.
