his a ungrateful son of a bitch

"You owe me." That was her motive. He owed her, Betty felt.

hell hath no wrath like a woman scorned...i still don't agree with the way she's doing this 'cause I'd just forget about the loser but to each her own I guess.

You know I don't agree with the way Betty handled it, but you can understand where she is coming from. So many women give up their dreams by holding down jobs, putting their husbands through school. And once they finaly make it big. The husband trades in the wife for a younger woman and the younger woman ripes the benefits of the big house, the status, etc.. and its just not right. You hear of this sort of thing happening a lot. Just toss out the wife out like she is yesterdays news.

@JennieRose8 16 years is really long time they were with one,another.I think being with someone so long its hard to move on.Would of been good if she seen a doctor to help her cope,and handle what was happening.

Ok she was angry, BUT she shouldn't have hurt her kids. She should have thought of them first!

[The40ounceBMX]

She dipped her potato chip in the pool then ate it.

HUH?

[kittylover62]

What a waste of perfectly good cake! T.T

[brandi17able]

@xterranissan2000 The real Dan Broderick was involved with Linda for years while he was married. Betty went to his office to surprise him for his birthday and found both he and Linda out celebrating. He told Betty she was crazy and imagining things about him and "Office girl " Linda. He only left Betty when Linda gave him an ultimatum.

I believe her antics drove him more towards Linda and proved how unstable she is. She made him not want or be attracted to her anymore..
