Arnold Schwarzenegger cheated on his wife Maria Shriver. Then for more than a decade he hid the fact that he had fathered another woman's child. Would you forgive him?
According to a report from Forbes, 10 percent of women polled by iVillage say they would.
It seems for the women who might forgive the likes of Schwarzenegger, that money is likely at play. In order to keep peace in the (relatively well off) household, they would let bygones be bygones and get on with their lives. Hmmmm.
It's also kind of interesting to learn that single women found sexual indiscretions like sexting and fathering a child out of wedlock to be more forgivable than married women did. Well, duh!
Can you for one moment imagine Maria Shriver saying to Arnold Schwarzenegger, "It's okay, honey. I forgive you for screwing around with the housekeeper and getting her pregnant. Let's just all be one big happy family together. Now what can I get Mildred Baena and the love child you share for Christmas?"?
Doesn't seem all too likely, does it?
So Arnold Schwarzenegger had best not get his hopes up. The iVillage poll deemed only 10 percent of women would forgive him for his love child faux pas. He'd best set his sights on being a single man or hooking up with a porn star. That's usually the only kind of woman who'd take up with a well-known cheat.
What do you think? Is Maria Shriver in that 10 percent of women who forgive? Will she forgive Arnold Schwarzenegger? Doesn't seem all too likely, now does it?

Sorry but I'm one of the 10%. If Arnold beat Maria, he should be in prison. Ditto, if he abused her verbally, financially, or psychologically, then he should never be forgiven. But if the worst thing a man does is have sex with someone else--that's no big deal. The problem with Arnold--and Tiger and Jesse is that they had unprotected sex with other women. THAT is the unforgivable thing because unless they had those other women tested first, they exposed their wives to AIDS. That's what's unforgivable. Otherwise, it wouldn't be a problem for me. As for the "love child" as long as he had the money to support the child financially, and he didn't use mine, I'd have no problem with that either. And $ is no problem for Arnold. Women expect too much from men. All that should really matter is how a man treats you. Not what he does when he's not with you. Just saying
Arnold Schwarzenegger had a fling with his housekeeper (Mildred Baena).
Arnie makes the assumption that the child is his, as there are NO confirmed reports whether he has had a DNA paternity test to confirm that he is the biological father.
Furthermore he then (according to reports) decides to DECLARE that he fathered ANOTHER child with a lady called Tammy Tousignant’s (who was an air-hostess on his private plane). The woman had to take DNA paternity tests along with her son and husband (called Tom) to demonstrate to the media that Arnie Schwarzenegger was not the daddy!
Another true story: my friend was so sure he was the father of a baby until a DNA test from a proper paternity testing company called Future Genetics (http://futuregenetics.co.uk/shop/page/15?shop_param=).
Mr Schwarzenegger needs to be sure before claiming paternity of other peoples offspring.
In paraphrasing Spec-savers, I think Arnold Schwarzenegger should have gone to Future Genetics before making his paternity declarations... he could have avoided all this media frenzy.
Given that Arnie mistakenly thought he was the father of Tammy Tousignant’s son and without any DNA paternity test evidence related Mildred Baena’s son, how can he be so sure that he is the father of Baena's son?
Food for thought...
