So much for morals!!

I got a mail which had the pics of star couples. One of the pictures stood out as I was scrolling down. I told my friend to have a look at the pic and started laughing. “What’s there to laugh?” she asked me.”They look like a father and daughter. Do they look like a couple?” I quipped. “He’s not as old as he looks” she retorted. “It’s all because of money. He was already married, had kids and knowingly why should this actress marry him?” I shot back. She asked me,” Do you there’s something called love?”. I was in no mood to give in and asked her why the actress should fall in love with a married man. She defended herself by replying he may not be happy with his family life. Hearing this I stopped the argument. Because I felt I had won the argument as she had brought an assumption to the equation that the married life of the guy might be not so happy.
Even if we consider the assumption valid, why should one fall in love with a man who’s married but not happy though. Probably the actress capitalized on the fact that he’s unhappy with his family life.
But whatever might be the reason both the actress and the producer were at fault. Being a married man he should not have married her. He could have tried to sort out his issues with his family. No marriage is perfect. Every marriage will throw some problems and one should show maturity in handling such things. How can these cases are termed love. I could not understand my friend’s reasoning. How could there be any justification for the act of a guy who ditched his wife for marrying a glamorous star or for that matter the actress who marries a man who’s already married and has kids.
Probably I am not keeping up with the changing times!!
