Shania Twain: I feel sorry for ex-husband and his affair 'mistake'
Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager weigh in on recent comments Shania Twain made on a podcast about her ex-husband's cheating scandal saying, "Do I hate my ex-husband for making a mistake? No. It’s his mistake. I'm so sad for him that he made such a great mistake. That's not my weight.”

Cheating is NOT a mistake, it's a CHOICE. They are choosing their own wants & needs over you, they are choosing another person over you. A mistake is not knowing you're doing something wrong, Cheaters know but just don't care. Stop calling it a "mistake".

Technically the choices we make can end up as mistakes. I'm sure we have all made some choices we realized were the wrong choice. I'm sure she was emotional and livid at the time it happened but now that she's in a better place and happy, she isn't taking it so personally anymore and seeing it as something he has to live with rather than something she has to live with.

I respect Shania, but she overcompensates for others' bad behavior. She tries to justify the situation by making excuses for their betrayal. Maybe, it saves her emotionally and softens the hurt. Her exes don't see their affair as a mistake - they relished in Shania's pain. No need to be charitable.

A mistake is stating, they were so wrong in choosing to cheat. Most of them believe it’s better with someone else. But what happen is they realize that can’t trust each other because they were willing to cheats. They live in misery and can’t trust one another and end up resenting each other. They want to cheat again . They live for a short thrill . When the ride is over, most of them l, realize it’s was a mistake and it’s too late. So yes mistake is perfect .
Who in the heck would cheat on Shania?? She’s the total package and truly loved her husband. What a betrayal of 2 people she loved.

Shania is too easy on her ex-husband and ex-best friend. She suffered terribly when the affair was discovered, damaging her health. The disrespect from her exes revealed how much they enjoyed her pain. Shania is in a great place now with her second husband and deservedly so. I'm happy she's moved on, but don't show compassion to those who lack a conscience.

Usually happens when kids are shared between parents. Especially in the public eye doesn’t look good to disparge the other parent. And Shania was right she wasn’t at fault, that Mutt didn’t have the balls to tell her the truth. That Anne Marie, Mutt’s assistant lied to her face in Shania’s own kitchen. After Shania asked her point blank. Fred had to be the one to tell her. After Fred noticed that Anne Marie was packing for a girls’ trip to a luxury spa. Fred hired private investigators and showed Shania all the receipts and photos from the spa appointments. Shania traded up Fred, who happens to be Anne Marie’s ex husband is gorgeous.

Your message about girls/women saying sorry all the time is SPOT ON. It's so culturally pervasive, I feel it's in our DNA. This inner dialogue needs to be addressed globally - we need to stop beating ourselves up unnecessarily.
The message of constantly apologizing is a good lesson. It can become a conversational habit but something to work towards not doing if an apology is not needed.

You don't get to talk about how long it takes for a person to grieve
She FEELS sorry FOR him, she isn't sorry. There is a big difference. She is not apologetic. She finds him pitiable. And that, he is. Happiness is the best revenge. 😊
Well of course it was sad because it lead to the end of their marriage of their relationship
I ...admittedly after some time ... have managed to adopt that exact same outlook on the people that cheated on me ... One of them admitted it to my face ... the other didn't ... Both for sure carry the weight of their ways.
Looks like we did not made it. That don't impress me much.
What Shania conveniently left out was he didn't want her touring all over the world if he made her a star. And she told him and agreed she wouldn't but didn't hold up her end of the deal. She admitted that she said she wouldn't. Well she toured all over the world and while she was gone he hooked up with her friend. She and everyone else blames him but her friend didn't know he was married to her? Never put any blame on the the other woman right. She didn't have anything to do with wrecking that home.
That isn't a mistake...that's an incredibly bad decision. A mistake is losing count and putting one too many eggs in your cake batter.

How is it obvious that Mutt still has feelings for Shania when he's still with the woman he dumped her to be with? Sounds more like he doesn't have feelings for her. If he did, he wouldn't have cheated or he would have tried to save the marriage instead of dumping her for the other woman.
She was probably upset at first but it's been so many years and she moved on.
I am sure everyone involved is doing just fine now. Nobody has a weight anymore. Which is the healthy route. And as far as Shania going easy on them, that’s what works for her, she’s moved on and not living in perpetual anger. Which is way better than being bitter and angry.
Mutt is a good name for him and he and the home-wrecker deserve each other. So glad Shania found a truly good man.
A person would have to be blind to cheat on SHANIA TWAIN.
If a woman say this it means she wants to get back to him.
Jenna going to a Toga party?
She has grown in herself and come out the other side a much stronger person. You can forgive someone but that doesn’t mean you have to trust them again or be anywhere near them ever. Shania, just remember if they do it with you, they’ll do it to you. Once a cheater probably gonna be a cheater again. I understand people are attracted to other people even if they’re married. It’s their ethics and morals and integrity that show their character on whether they act on that attraction or not. Most of the time it’s just momentary lost and it goes away. If it is a deep true love, you don’t need to cheat. You can be above board and honest with your current partner and break it off before you cheat. Cheating is the cowards way out. And I think sometimes they think they can have their cake and eat it too. Because you were the wage earner and doing very well at the time. He probably didn’t want to lose that. And it probably was partially a midlife crisis, heck my first husband start it is 24 years old. And we were about to become parents for the first and they just bought our first home. The thing about people that are always thinking the grass is greener on the other side of that fence, have no integrity.
As much as cheating feels like the worst betrayal, cheaters often realize they did make a serious mistake once it is too late. My guess is that her ex best friend and ex husband are unhappy, but stuck.
LET IT GO... stop talking about it.
There’s nothing wrong with sympathizing over poor circumstances; I feel sorry or sorrow for the misfortunes of others. I don’t take BS blames, but I’d like to think I’m never too big of a man to apologize, to empathize, to comfort. One of the absolute worst behavioral trait I’ve encountered comes from the self entitled who are too arrogant & don’t believe that they ever owe anyone an apology; especially when I can smack the taste out of their mouths on account of this dare to contraire. If I can apologize, I’m pretty sure they can find it in their hearts to apologize. The willingness to come to terms; the willingness not to take advantage of, or indulge upon, the kindnesses of others; of goodwill. That being considered this Slouch Twerp owes her an apology from the sounds & looks of it. That’s very sad for Shania, & I’m sorry for her misfortunes. I distinctly remember her being such a Strikingly Good Looking Woman growing up. She could’ve easily had any man she wanted. There certainly doesn’t appear to be anything uniquely pleasing about this fool; surely his mind is as bankrupt as his heart. It’s truly apparent that she could’ve done better. From a specimen such as this, we can only hope at this point that his falters were with another woman. ♦️♣️

Exactly, he did this not me. When my man cheated with the wife of one the couples in his friend’s circle from college I was like out of here. Mentally and emotionally disengaged. I am not a jealous person and do not believe in wasting my time on whatever this is. He , she blew up their friend’s group. He still lived with me for couple weeks after, on the couch. It was curious watching him navigate this with his family and friends. I am just a bystander now. They are all calling me saying are you done? 😂😂😂 oh for sure, no anger just moving on. The husband called me and asked how I could be so cool. I said bc I am not wasting my time on ppl who do not want or respect me. They lied to our faces. They are not worthy of being in my life. You cannot trust them. End of story. What happened to them. No idea. Don’t care.
It is not a MISTAKE. It was his choice. A choice that I'm sure he has regretted.
These two will manifest cheating with speaking about this often. Words and emotions are powerful! Shhhhh
