| Certain Truths Better Left Unsaid |
[Apr. 1st, 2008|10:12 pm] |
I just watched one of those reality tv shows called " A Moment of Truth" . I'm not sure if it's broadcast back home. But i sure know for one that it taught me or the viewers,hopefully, a rather important lesson. Today's participant was a married lady whom was asked a range of questions, varying from silly questions to really , really , really personal questions. And her family, including her husband , was there to be there watching her in the hot spot. And boy, was i traumatised watching. I mean, i reckon, this is the first episode out of the many that really affect me. I mean, gawd, i've never cried watching a reality tv show. Also, i'm pretty sure that many of you thinks that it is bullshit. But having to be put through in the hot seat where the viewers across U.S. and prolly more , as well as your family members, that's a lot of risk your putting yourself into.
Well, apparently the participant was a young blonde girl. Here are several superbly intimate questions that was asked to her. The game works like this, " before the question was asked, you have a choice to leave or stay. If you stay, you can't leave after hearing the question and if you lied you lost all the money that you have gained throughout the game"
One of the questions that was asked was this,
" Do you love one of your former boyfriends on your first wedding day?"
I'm sure the question was phrased differently, but this was the gist of the question. Mind you, I don't have a photographic memory.
Her Answer: Yes.
Husband's Expression: A sad expression. Ouch! If i'm the husband, i will be thinking " Here I am marrying you, committing my whole life being by your side, and your soul wasn't with me on that special day". That must have hurt. But hey, probably it's not a big deal now. It was two years ago anyways.
Another question was asked. This time, a special guest that was invited to the show asked her the question. And the special guest was none other than her ex-boyfriend ( and i'm assuming that it's the one that she was still in love with during her wedding day),
Q1 asked by ex-boyfriend : If I would ask you to get back with me, would you leave your current husband?
Her: She was on the verge of tears. Literally.
Husband: Waiting anxiously for the answer not wanting to save her.
Sister: SAVED HER BY PRESSING THE BUTTON! ( sidetrack: in the game , one of her family members could press the button once if they do not want her to answer the question or do not think they want to hear the answer. she will then asked another question which the family members do not have a control of).
And hell, she looked relieved. Like WTF! I would have guessed the answer.
Alternative question asked by the ex-boyfriend: Do you think I'm the man that you should be married to?
Her: Yes ( this time without a doubt or a pause!)
Husband: His expression was so pained yet trying to remain calm after hearing this. This is when my sympathy goes to him.
Hell girl, he's your ex-boyfriend for a reason. And your husband in your husband for a reason. To think you married someone whom you don't really want to, what the fuck are you thinking playing with the person's feelings and life? Marriage ain't a game gal. Definitely not a game.
And the bombshell of a question. Even after she already earned 100k this time, she still wanted to proceed with the question. I mean hell, your really greedy. Although she claims , she just wants to get some things out of her chest.
And this is the question that I started sobbing like a crybaby.
" Have you ever had any sexual relations with other person even after you are married"? ( It's not the question that i started to cry but her answer, Yep! you guys guess right)
Her: Yes.
Husband: Covering his face. Speechless. Not knowing what to say. Keep saying it's over.
I mean come on! Are those 'easy' money really worth it? Putting your relationships and the unity of your family at risk. Fuck! Even if I have such personal intimate secrets, I wouldn't tell a soul to my boyfriend or my husband. Not that I wanted to cheat on them, but hell, i rather treasure the relationship that I have and just not repeat the mistakes. So, getting the truth out of your chest seems comfortable? What about the pained expression or the position you put your closed ones in? Isn't that selfish in a way?
Oh well, that reality show definitely makes me think. I mean, I would really want to know as well the answer to this questions especially from my love one whom I've looked upon and given my heart to ya know?! It's pretty controversial when it comes to being honesty. Is there really a line that needs to be drawn when we brings up the issue of honesty? I really don't know. But it's pretty heartbreaking to see relationships destroyed just because of mistakes made in the past.
Oh, and the sadder note is: she lost the money to the game as well. Ouch! Karma. Hurts. Burnt. Apparently , she lied in the lie detector test on one of the questions posed to her. If i'm not wrong, the question was " Do you think your a good person". And her husband keeps saying no. But she said "yes" . lolol. and yup. her husband was right.that must have hurt eh?
I hope it's a lesson learnt .
Night :) |
