Tori’s Marriage-Saving Pregnancy

tori-spelling-3Hey everybody! Celebrity unicorns Tori Spelling and serial cheat Dean McDermott are expecting their fifth child. People magazine broke the story with the headline “Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott on Saving Their Marriage After Infidelity: ‘We Had to Start Over'”

Yes, it’s all about starting over. Those first four children? They were just practice children. And that kid from his other marriage? That one doesn’t count at all. THIS kid is the magic kid who will make Dean keep it in his pants. Chumps know how pregnancy keeps men faithful. Fetuses have superpowers.

See Dean petting that stuffed lizard? Babies are just like stuffed lizards. Watch me cradle this lizard. Am I doing it right? You can trust me with a lizard!  He is one with the lizard. Totally method. As his children wander away from him, except for that defiant kid whose face says, “Seriously? This guy?”

Hey, it’s different this time.

“We worked really hard!” chirps Tori as if she were decorating a cupcake. “I found my voice.”

That was the problem — Tori Spelling never had a presence before. Shy, retiring, shrinking violet Tori Spelling.

Dean: “Love conquers all. That’s what this pregnancy says about our relationship — it’s everlasting.”

Tori: “It’s really different than the other pregnancies! We just got lost after the first one. It just happens!”

Dean: “For this pregnancy, I feel more mature. I feel more present.”

Tori (interrupting): “HE’S BEEN SO NUTURING!”

“I’m really excited about this pregnancy,” shrugs Dean, while looking at his hands. Can you feel the excitement? This is his face after he delivers that line. >>>screen-shot-2016-10-06-at-6-53-08-am

#WTF #Hopecandyispaying

I’m trying to imagine the new reality TV series that’s going to come from this. Diapering With The Stars?

“I feel like people take marriage too lightly in this day and age,” Tori tells People.

Some people think other people take reproduction too lightly. But whatever.

“Sometimes things happen in life and they’re mistakes, but love doesn’t just turn off. That’s not how our hearts work.”

I’m sure your first husband is intrigued by that statement. (To those just tuning in, Tori and Dean were married to other people when they fell terribly, hopelessly, forever in love.)

“I want our kids to know one day that we stuck it out and worked through it.”

Good luck, Tori. Your kids are the special kids who are worth sticking it out for, unlike your stepson, who I guess was just one of those life “mistakes.”

What other unicorn stratagems can you cycle through to keep that Canadian ham faithful? First there was the Tori penis tattoo. Failed. So you got new tattoos in Paris — Tout mon coeur, Tout ma vie. I hope any would-be OW reads French.

Children one-through-four flunked the Keep Daddy Faithful test. Let’s hope 5 is the magic number.

I’ve heard of Tori Spelling, but I don’t know this couple or him. That video made me quite uncomfortable. None of it seemed genuine. But he looked like a right misery-guts. The only smiles he made were fake ones for the camera – they were very awkward. As for Tori, it seemed like she was over-compensating, overly cheery. Doing all the talking for him, so it seemed. I know I could be very, very wrong here. They could be a wonderful couple, and the awkwardness was simply from having a camera in their face.

As for the awkward “you lessened your anger” – what’s the story there?!

Dean has the same miserable expression X had every day for the last couple years of our marriage.
Then X would look at me with Deans face and say you’re never happy. Huh? it never occurred to me then to tell X to look in the mirror. I was too busy being Tori. ha!

brit, our lives mirror each other’s life quite a bit. Without knowing the end was nigh, my ex whilst looking in my direction but not actually looking at me commented, “you will never be happy” and “not everyone has your standards, you know” !! Like you I should have told him to look in the mirror because he was the one always looking for a free vagina to fall into. I was too busy being what I thought was a good mum and wife, faithfully, hardworking and concerned for everyone else well being except my own. That won’t ever happen again because I love being free and I do take very good care of myself now.

Wait…they “got lost” after their first child, so they went and had THREE more?

And THEN they worked on their marriage somehow?

I understand there is never a perfect time to get pregnant, and plenty of unexpected pregnancies work out just fine… but c’mon!

Getting pregnant three separate times while you’re “lost.” These are LIVES you’re creating, here. Doesn’t that require at least some planning? And why not use contraception while you’re “lost”?

My ex and I were trying to get pregnant with our first child when she started cheating. I have no respect for that woman now, but we were both aware enough at the time to STOP trying to get pregnant while we “worked on our marriage” (aka, I work on whatever she claims is wrong while she fucks another woman’s fiancé).

Purposefully having three children while you are “lost” is not a good life strategy, for your life or for theirs.

JC – My wife was a serial cheater over a 20 year marriage. When it started has always been the moving target. I realize now my wife was certainly looking elsewhere and hoping to replace me long before my second child was conceived. Yet, she got pregnant again. I wonder why, now that it’s over. Accident? Wanted two instead of one? Need more child support in the case of divorce to keep the new house we bought? Knew I was a good provider and would always take care of them? It all seems so devious. Like we were just chess pieces in a game. She was playing God with our lives.

I should have known she was cheating. She lost interest in me almost overnight after two years of marriage (we had a beautiful one year old) and we had sex only eight times in during the entire year my second was conceived (1997) – and only once in the last two months of that year when she had to have become pregnant. Almost another immaculate conception. Why in the world was still there? To me, both of my kids are magic and I’m so grateful for them, but I’ll never understand the person with whom I created those lives.

Watching the video makes me want to vomit. There doesn’t seem to be any genuine remorse from him and they both just seem empty. It’s sad because I probably would have said those same empty lines that Tori said (minus the fact we did not have another pregnancy).

But you’re overlooking the fact that it’s most convenient to claim that you were lost AFTER the fact in order to manipulate the chump. It’s actually magical, exploratory, self-expressive ME time. “Lost” is how they minimize the adventure after they’ve been caught and have to dumb it down for the chump who couldn’t possibly understand such a high level of sophistication and rebellion against the “system.” Babies are an exciting invitation into self-actualization and a steady stream of attention…until they poop and scream and don’t pay ANY attention to the awesomeness cheater-parent is lavishing on the new bundle of joy. Then they start to transition from kibble-factory (“You’re positively glowing! She looks JUST like you!) to a never-ending demand on their time and attention, and we all know how much cheaters like expectations. They only feel lost once consequences start to creep into the periphery, and then cling to that raft until they land on Next Opportunity Island.

Free Vixen, I read this comment by you earlier today and you gave me an “a-ha” moment! Thank you. 🙂 My ex has called a time in our lives when I was pregnant his “lost time.” I totally accepted that a few years later when he called it that. We always joked it was his early mid-life crisis (he was around 31 when he put me thru hell for over a year when I was pregnant and after our daughter was born.) Didn’t even hear or Dean say that until you mentioned it. Total cheater talk. Another word or phrase that needs to be added to the Cheaters Handbook.

And regardless of whether their marriage is a continued success for the rest of their lives, or it’s not, that first child will someday come across this interview. I only hope that when they do, they see it when they have maturity and perspective, for otherwise, it is likely they will blame themselves somehow. It is very common for children to blame themselves in a separation.

ClaireS that is hilarious!! I wonder if the photographer consciously chose the reptilian phallic imagery.
The whole story is creepy and reeks of desperation and magical thinking. As though by making this story public, Tori thinks she can make baby 5 a cure for cheater husband, against all evidence. It sucks when publicity-hungry fading celebrities feel the need to air their infidelities in a magazine spread or TV show, and worse still when they involve their children. I hope baby 5 doesn’t get blamed when the inevitable split happens.

Anita, OMG. I didn’t find this site for a while. But I did find RIC. I never got to the “end product” aspiration. I focused on the Gottmans, who advocated letting the victim get it all out before any other conversation about the marriage. Now I think they’re more dangerous because they look slightly more humane than the others. Expert wolves in sheep’s clothing. JMO.

While Gottmans don’t treat PDs, they also don’t advertise that fact. And they seem to ignore that character and personality disorders are fairly common among cheaters, if not DSM-level (plenty are), then predators and aggressors who deploy tactics of abuse. I couldn’t bear the rest of it. Then I found Chump Lady on Huffington Post. Saved.

Anita, sorry if this has been asked and answered — how were you affected during your RIC phase? What made you stop? If it had been a possibility (don’t know) did you ever consider having a baby? Or, theoretically, would you have?

I think I’m on topic because the clichés I’m seeing, while reading up on these two, fit what I now call RIC’s Big Fat ICK Agenda. Tori pretzels. Dean blames bad sex life. Dean goes to sex rehab. They stay married, have three, now four, more kids. Dean says he’s not the only cheater in the world (normalize abuse, much?). Tori reports that he’s working hard on himself and their relationship. And on.

I’m not familiar with the Gottmans but I seriously think I became delusional when I was under the RIC umbrella. The turd was treating me like shit, and I was lapping it up like a dog and working even harder for his approval. I am disgusted I put up with that but I have a motto: You can’t change the past . so I don’t stress over it too much. I had a lot of people against me, and no one really for me. (Again, RIC advice, I kept it all to myself and put on a happy face to the world. Tori. Is that you? She’s doing the same thing. But she married a known cheater and so did he, so what can you expect?)

Hi, Claire S. Regarding the RIC effect on me, I bought into the whole He actually still loves you, he’s having a midlife crisis, he’s in a fog horseshit. And the You weren’t sexy enough whorseshit. I’m pretty sure I’m not sexy, lol, but that’s not what this is about.

The RIC has two main ideas I disagree with:

If you can get the cheater to have sex with you, it means they love you.

If you have children, he is cheating because you pay too much attention to the children.

Thankfully, I never bought into the paying too much attention to the children one. But the cheating did have a negative effect on my parenting ( due to anger, depression, focusing on his shit) and that is mainly what I hate him for.

He used the things I did under RIC to continue on with whore and treat me bad, mainly I think cause he’d gotten away with it for so long. He always got really pissed off and threatened to leave if I didn’t comply with what he wanted but I finally figured out that was a control tactic. His ass didn’t want to go anywhere. He was enjoying CAKE.

ClaireS… Continued.

Anyway, one day I just snapped and told him we were done. I really had a lot of time to observe him and was increasingly disgusted by what I saw. I didn’t plan to spend the rest of my life with a man who snuck around with a whore behind my back. A man who acted like a slimy whore had the same right to be in his life as his wife and the mother of his child. Fuck him. Fuck that skaggy slut too. Jokes on him, she didn’t want him either, she was just out for some attention to pump up her aging whore ego. She called me jealous and insecure but she was the jealous insecure one, not me

The final piece of the puzzle finally fell into place when I later discovered Chump Lady and her excellent article The Unified Theory of Cake. These fools will gorge on cake until they die.

My first thoughts were the same, the faces on her practice children aren’t happy, carefree children faces.
They look troubled, in ten years “practice” children will be adventurous teens now that will add some excitement to their lives. I bet Dean has the same excited expression as he does in this interview when telling everyone how excited he is about this “love conquers all” baby.
They want their kids to know they stuck it out? I think it’s more likely the kids will know they stuck it in.
I didn’t recognize happiness in any of their faces. It was an unhappy group of staged people trying to hard to appear happy.
My heart goes out to those children.

First thing I thought of after reading/watching this was a quote from a character in Richard Yates’ novel Revolutionary Road (later a film with DiCaprio and Winslet).

A couple in the 50’s struggling to keep it together amid unmet expectations, resentment, losing their identities in the banality of suburbia etc. Everyone thinks they’re crazy for wanting to pack up the family and move to Paris, except the mentally ill adult son of the local realtor, who applauds them for facing the emptiness and trying to address it.

Their plans crumble when wife gets pregnant with their third child and resentfully become resigned to their mundane lives. The mentally ill neighbor calls them out on it in a long condemnation speech to them. The chapter ends with:

“But John wasn’t finished yet. ‘Hey, I’m glad of one thing, though’ he said, stopping near the door and turning back, beginning to laugh again, and (his realtor mother) thought she would die as he extended a long yellow-stained index figure and pointed it at the slight mound of April’s pregnancy.

‘You know what I’m glad of? I’m glad I’m not gonna be that kid’. “

Oh gosh, I had forgotten that book. I’ve not seen the movie, but the book doesn’t end in a pleasant way. I seem to remember that they were both cheaters, were they not?

Was the whole move to Paris thing not portrayed as a crazy scheme by April, because she thought that they were better than everyone else, she thought they were different and superior, and she looked down on other people? That she had to find meaning through external things?

OCT,
I thought the “move to Paris” thing was about recovering the freedom, the lightness of being, chasing opportunity, rather than serving obligations of the “American dream”. But I followed that light in my 20’s rather than marry, have children, work full time and get a property mortgage, so maybe I’m just projecting like I did so well in my marriage? Aspects of that movie are ugly and lovely, the hope contrasting with the descent into entitlement portrayed. I saw it around my divorce being final, labeling the manipulative behaviors out loud made my friends uncomfortable. I watched it again a year or so ago, and saw more beauty in it.

If I remember correctly, Dean and his wife were in the process od adopting a baby and Tori would actually taunt Dean’s wife in the media. Also there was something about Tori demanding his wife not be allowed at some function/award show in Canada…of course she was shut down.

I remember watching an episode of their reality show several years and kids ago. Talk about unreality! Poor poor Tori. So now she is an expert about love! I CANNOT STAND IT! Dean is that typical cheater. Wish his penis would just fall off! The only people I feel for are those poor children. With all of daddy, Aaron Spelling’s, inheritance, Tori cannot buy love, no matter how many children she keeps having. Once a cheater, always a cheater. She just doesn’t want to admit it.

Back in my Oxygen/TLC watching days I caught a few of the shows of the first couple of seasons, Tori & Dean Inn Love. Not a proud admission on my part, but in my defense I would put the channel on as background noise while I did other things around the house. I didn’t know much about their relationship or that they were dual cheaters until much later. It was a typical “reality” show about not really much of anything other than a couple of people wrapped up in their own drama. When Dean’s cheating came out a couple of years ago I read an article and it seemed like Tori might be handling it less like a chump and more like a woman scorned who was having none of his lame excuses. Go Tori! But alas, just a short time later she made that soul depleting declaration, “his wandering penis actually helped strengthen our relationship.” No, Tori, No!

But I guess that makes for better television than she kicked his cheater ass out and then had to struggle with being a single mom like so many of the rest of us commoners. Truthfully, I’ve always felt that Dean looks like the type of guy that would rufie some young girl’s drink and drag her back behind an alley but then so do so many of these cheater-types. I just don’t get the appeal. This may be some kind of marketing ploy for a new show but the multiple kid thing has really been overdone, even with the added element of infidelity. Again, I find myself lamenting for these poor kids. It’s bad enough to have their childhoods splashed all over the media but add to that the paternal fuckwit and they have little chance of becoming well-balanced adults.

But Dean’s face in that screen shot says it all. He simply can’t contain his joy for child number 5 can he?

Very Hollywood. Very contrived. Very much positioning themselves to be perhaps the UN-Brangelina.

Just look at it as a Brand message, Tori and the dude being the Brand. Their Brand imploded with the karma bus. Their Brand has a terrific opportunity to rebuild in Hollywood as the UN-Brangelina. This offers both of them the possibility of new endorsements to elevate their Brand = $$$$$. I don’t think tori gets any inheritance $ so long as her mother is alive because her judgement is very poor.

Anyhow, I am analyzing this drivel in a different way. Where those clowns live is all about entertainment, building and audience and then profiting from popularity from the mass marketing via reality shows, speaking events, tv or movie role, etc…

As humans, the entire 3min video pitch was creepy because if you look at the kids, most kids don’t have filters, you know the entire spiel is Made For TV. I feel sorry for the kids. Dysfunction breeds dysfunction.

One thing I like about reading about celebrity cheaters is that it really breaks the myths about them. In movies, books, TV, etc cheaters are portrayed as glamorous, sexy, appealing, etc. In real life they are just scummy and gross, like these two. But, other than celebrities, cheaters are usually hidden and you can’t see how pathetic and disgusting they are. It is like a lesson in abnormal psychology. A train wreck.

I know that they’re a big joke (and if we don’t laugh then we’ll cry) but if you’re at all familiar with my posts on ChumpLady, you know that nothing infuriates me more than when children are mistreated and used as tools.

If your marriage is toxic, why do you want to bring a new person into it?

What happens if the stress of adding to a child to an already struggling marriage only hastens its demise? Do you resent the child for it?

What happens if your cheater keeps on cheating? Do you use the “for the children” excuse to stay in the marriage and therefore shrug off the burden of your poor choices on to their shoulders?

I hate how people are always quick to blame the media for social ills, but in this case, I wonder how much watching the shitshow that is Tori and Dean provides validation to chumps in Wreckonciliation.

Lulu, I agree, how are her practice children going to receive this added burden which will receive the attention they obviously are lacking? After their love child becomes more of a burden and attention hog, Dean and Tori will inevitably fall back into the same pattern of arguing, that poor baby will be the focus of their anger and resentment. Mom and Dad were “getting along” until Dad stuck it in.
Extremely pathetic couple. Isn’t it common knowledge you don’t bring a baby into the world to save your marriage. It’s clearly a recipe for disaster.

My grandmother had 11 children but that didn’t stop her husband from straying over and over again. Sometimes I think those kinds use pregnancy and children to keep you right where they want you, busy, dependent on them, and stuck. Who would leave with 11 children to raise all on their own?and then the abuse and entitlement ramps up.
Well, she did kick him out after several chances and a few more children, and went on to raise those children all on her own. The older kids helped her. Very few of those kids even recognized their father when he’d stroll back into town on occasion. He died alone in some dirty hotel room and she claimed his body cause no one else would, and had it buried in unconsecreted ground.
The kids and her struggled but had many happy memories and they all adored their mother and had great respect for her. Now when we talk about the family and growing up, the father is never mentioned. He is a non- entity in a very large happy family. His loss!
The point is, 5 or 11 babies does not change the shitty, disordered, character of a selfish, disconnected asshole! Good luck with that, Tori!

Crazy how people think having a child makes your relationship whole, or better somehow. Maybe that’s why my ex wanted to keep having babies. It was a huge burden on our relationship because it’s actual work, and my ex wanted me to baby him and ignore the kids’ needs. I have 4 children, and I believe (believe it or not) that 3 of them were orchestrated by him. 2 were the result of an odd condom mishap, and one was the result of pull-out failure after I strongly suggested we abstain because of how fertile I knew I was in that moment. He said to me, after 2 Ddays and just before our last accidental pregnancy, that he wanted to have another baby because it “brings us closer together”. I laughed in his face and told him how wrong he was and how vehemently against it I was at that time. Next thing you know, I’m pregnant. I know it’s a pretty rare and unbelievable thing, but, he actually trapped me.

What irritated me the most was Dean’s “Love conquers all” comment. Are we really supposed to believe that he loves her and that she still loves him? When my D-day hit the man I loved became a mirage and a stranger took his place. My devoted, conquering love for him vanished into thin air. When he continued to lie and cheat I knew it was never coming back.

Dean doesn’t have the look of love in his eyes for Tori or his children.
He looked bored and disinterested, even suffering through this interview.
I noticed not one of his children looked at him, or smiled, or ran up to give him a hug.
Sorry, but I didn’t feel the love connection in this family.
I imagine it was the same thing people were thinking when I was spackling,
sadly I see myself in Tori and I felt sick to my stomach. It was like watching myself with
cheater, the difference is I wasn’t pregnant, and only had one child who acted much like these kids when his father was around. I had people we know and even a couple strangers tell me X was indifferent towards me. I brushed all that off, made excuses, that they didn’t know him as well as I did.
Makes me cringe and want to hide under a rock.

What Dean really means is Tori’s money conquers all. He has 5 kids (4 with Tori and 1 with his former girlfriend), and this will be his 6th child. He loves the luxurious lifestyle, living in Beverly Hills, driving high end cars, going on lavish vacations and having nannies (at least 2) take care of his kids. He has no career, no money, no personality. How nice to be a man in his shoes huh? He is staying because what is his alternative? To lose his gravy train and sugarmomma. No way, he knows how to play his cards right. And if Tori wants a 6th child, then so be it! He’ll bend over backwards, because he’s a prostitute, salivating over her money and lifestyle.

I guess this is what happens when two cheaters/colluders get together.

I have four children and my ex cheated during all of my pregnancies and if that’s wasn’t enough of an insult, he made sure to really sweeten the deal by not even bothering with condoms. He never did, but damn. Not even during my pregnancies???

These one-track minds have absolutely no foresight or damns to give about anyone but themselves. Not even their own children can contain their self given right to pork anyone they want. Children won’t convince these empty souls to give anything up that they feel they have the right to do.

I don’t feel sorry for Tori, though, just the children involved. She got just exactly what she deserved for being a cheater AND for acting in collusion with a cheater. This should be added to yesterday’s Karma stories. Whore who cheats and fucks other women’s husbands got the male lot lizard gem featured above. Yeah, you enjoy that shit, Tori.

Just a couple of thoughts. A part of me thinks this is Tori’s way of saying, “See? I didn’t make a mistake! It wasn’t a mistake that both of us cheated on our spouses! This is tru wuv!!”

And the “lost” comment by Dean. My ex actually calls the over year period in time when I was pregnant, he was mean and cold to me, for sure having a major EA and I wouldn’t be surprised a PA, and going to Canada at least ten times for 100% naked lap dances (and probably more!) — he called this his “lost time.” Yeah, lost in the arms of OWomen and his penis probably got lost in a few vaginas and mouths.

And I forgot to also say that I INTENTIONALLY didn’t breed with him after our daughter was born. We were planning on having a total of three kids, but after what he put me through when I was pregnant, I was smart enough to stop having more kids. I love both of my kids to death and I have no doubt I would have loved another. But the presence of both of our kids changed him. After first was born, Jeffrey Dahmer was so jealous of his son and acted so strange. And of course how he treated me throughout my second pregnancy and even after our daughter was born. Total lying, cheating douchbag! Why would I set myself up for more treatment like that?

Exactly Martha! The difference is that you were smart and made an intelligent decision. If your husband is treating you like shit, why should we permit ourselves to get pregnant. We have a choice too in the matter. And I never understood women who quipped their husbands were beating them up, yet I found out year after year, that these women were getting pregnant and were popping out kids. If your husband is beating the crap out of you, you don’t have 3, 4, 5 kids after that. You leave. And yes, it is a decision to stay or leave. And if you can’t leave, then you don’t bring an innocent child in this mess.

I’m not so sure they have money problems. I’m starting to think they are very well off. The entire family -that is 6 people – all take these lavish vacations all the time, drive very high end cars, live in Beverly Hills in a very nice house. Also, her mother Candy is funding all of her expenses and Candy said that all of Tori’s kids are very well taken care of and always will be. If they didn’t have money, she wouldn’t be popping out a 5th child. A 40K amex bill and a 200K lien on a house is peanuts for a girl who is part of a millionaire family. I think those expenses are to throw us off her scent and to fool us into thinking she’s struggling financially. Someone who is as broke as she pretends to be, would be driving a shitty car, living in a crappy town and not going on vacations and driving these expensive cars, and least of all if you’re broke, you don’t have a 5th child. I think she’s VERY well off financially, and having her 5th child shows that beyond any doubt for me.

I thought her Mother cut her off financially? They’ve never had a great relationship, and Tori has spoken of the rift between them a lot (I recall an episode of one of their vapid ‘Tori & Dean’ shows where she mentioned the fact that her Mom doesn’t help her financially) So did that change? I was hoping not, because let’s face it, the idea of her Dad’s massive fortune definitely played a part in Dean’s, ahem, ‘love’ for her! I hate to be so shallow, and I’m certainly no Cindy Crawford myself, but Tori has a face like a melted welly, and one of the worst boob jobs ever performed!

She pays for everything, so therefore, she has a say in everything, and he just goes along with it. She’s calling the shots every step of the way with him. He’s miserable, has no career, no money, and no say. He cheated on her because he doesn’t want to be in this marriage, but likes the financial and luxurious perks he’s getting. And I’m shocked that with all the problems they have, that they are having a 5th child. Tori knows exactly what she is doing.

He has four LIVE children, his wife who is pregnant- to touch, hold, or pose beside, but some stylist or photographer decided:

Hey Dean, you are going to sit on the FLOOR, off to the side a bit, and pet a stuffed lizard.

Is that a wink wink, or just moronic Hollywood?

Looking at his ugly, smirking, crusty face makes me so happy I had the COURAGE to leave the X. He would have stayed with me and run me in the ground. I would weigh 300 lbs or 70 lbs and be haggard and sick. And after I collsaped to the floor, he would have stepped over me and partied on.

I also think Tori knows Dean is cheater, but she’s pushing her own agenda and doesn’t care. She always said she wanted to have a very big family. And maybe she has a number in her mind of the number of kids she wants to have and will keep popping out kids until she gets what she wants. And then will discard Dean.

I know a lot of women who stay with their husband, just so they can pop out the number of kids they want. And after they get what they want, they divorce the husband. At my former job, I know a woman who wanted to have 3 kids, it was her agenda. She got married, her husband was a total deadbeat, didn’t work, didn’t do anything, and after the moment she had 3 kids, she divorced her husband, because she had achieved her goal. Maybe Tori is doing the same thing, is using Dean as a sperm donor. He’s pretty much useless in every other way.

This is NOT a judgment on any one here, who has given a cheater a chance. But, I could never do it. There is no way.
I never did. Once I saw that text, that was it.

This is how life would be with me, once I knew someone cheated on me:

X: Can you pass me the potatoes?
ME: Why don’t you ask your whore to pass you the potatoes, you shit ass motherfucker?

X: Call 911! I am having a heart attack!!!
ME: Maybe the whore Ashley can call 911 for you.
(As I step over his convulsing body).

I NOT could control my rage or ever forget. I don’t know if I am obsessive, prideful or unforgiving or what it is…but I could not do it. We would not last 5 minutes.

He might think all was calm….but he would have to learn to sleep with one eye open, and I would hate his guts every second. Violence would break out at any moment, and I would hold nothing back. Someone would probably die.

I cannot fathom it…living with a man that you know has fucked another woman. Once you cross that line…the relationship is dead. I would live in a ditch first.

I remember on Mother’s Day (the D DAY) when he came to my mother’s house, and he emailed me before he came to the gate and said (did not ask me!)

“I am coming back to your house with you.”

I said, “No, you are not. What would we talk about…her pussy and your dick together?”

And I never changed my mind. I might miss him, but I will never change my mind.

3) He signed a postnup that was positively medieval
4) He wore a chastity belt, like a real one, that caused him pain and incontinence issues.

And even then I would still probably snarl at him everyday. It just would not work.

Betcha Candy has either written Tori out of her will or set up some kind of trust specifically for her grandkids that guarantees ol Dino can’t get his mitts on any part of that half billion he’s been sticking around for. When you look at Candy Spelling’s net worth it’s incomprehensible to the likes of ordinary folk. I think the lizard petter is just hoping MIL kicks it and actually bequeaths everything to her children. I’m pretty sure she knows from seeing the past decade string out on reality TV and the tabloids what an ass SIL is and like her deceased husband (who only got to see the start of this icky marriage ) will make sure he gets nothing.

I wonder if there is some sort of trust that will pay out $$$$ to each grandchild. So the more kids she has, the more revenue streams she will have for lack of better word. Tori and her mother have a notoriously bad relationship, and it would not surprise me if she was out of the will or getting limited resources or the like. But most people have a soft spot for the grandchildren. I have no idea how old Candy Spelling is, but I wonder if Tori keeps popping out kids, hoping they will be still be young enough when she dies that she can exert some kind of control over their inheritance and be able to reconfigure to get access to the money. I hope for the kids’ sake that Candy has a good lawyer and trustee who is not having any of that. Dean of course is just hanging around because he doesn’t have anything else to do/anywhere else to go.

There is a difference between having trappings of wealth and having actual wealth. You can have a nice house, a nice car, but not be liquid. These two have managed to string together a living doing something (not exactly sure what), so they may have cars and houses, but not actually have much cash in the bank. Now obviously you can liquidate assets, but for people like this who are all about appearances, they usually don’t want to do that.

Ding Ding. I would bet the farm “lizard petter” (that is good) is only hanging around because of the staggering amount of money the MIL has. I imagine he has a grimy Sunset Street lawyer working hard to figure out a way to get his dirty, cheater hands on it.
I always wondered why her father cut her off with the money. Many Jews will do that if you marry a non Jew. (Ask my sister how we know). But, he really did not help her….her father. If she did not need the money, I imagine she would not have to frantic do reality shows. And CL said above they have money problems.

Just like my dad made me sick when I caught him cheating on my mom when I was 14. I outed him. Unbeknownst to me, it wasn’t his first rodeo. Hence, 2nd dday.

I’m not proud of it, but I am proud of my mom for finding this site and modeling the ways of a sane, loving and SMART parent.

Thank you for writing in and giving us a glimpse of the “perspective of the kids” who certainly suffer right along with the chump. I’m so sorry for what you went through, but as a mom, it is so gratifying to me to hear that you have such great insight into what truly happened. I worry so much about my kids in all of this, but you give me hope that they will come out stronger and more clear of right/wrong. Congratulations to both you and your mom!!

(((Hugs)))

Thanks Chump Mama!

It will take time for your kids to see who is who in the relationship, for sure. It will come. Keep lines of communication WIDE open with your kids and let them know that despite the horrible things that are happening now, that you are there for them.

My mom suffered, a lot. I began asking questions when I was in middle school. Everything was answered in an age appropriate manner (she read A LOT of CL/CN). She never said bad things about him (and she had every right to do so) but she also never made any excuses for him either.

I’m 17. If he calls me, I answer. I started university this semester and I have things to do but he doesn’t understand. Or doesn’t care. He continues to be selfish and makes everything about himself. Who needs that? I sure don’t 🙂

Your children need one sane parent, as CL says here. If you model that, they will come out on the other side just like you have (or will be soon!).
