And the kiss had an effect on him. I don't see how he could have avoided the situation ... other than not attending the party.<BR/><BR/>I think Sage handled the situation rather well. I'm not sure most men would have done likewise.<BR/><BR/>But you have a good point as well since I wonder what how us males would feel if this incident was about Sage's girlfriend at the time and not him. However, for me, if Sage's gf acted in the same way I'd just as easily say she did not cheat as well. But I'm not sure others would feel the same way. Perhaps an incident like this spotlights the double standard society still adheres too (even though it should know better).<BR/><BR/>Anyway, great point Murf.
