The Robsten sparkle has now officially faded. Robert Pattinson moved out of the Los Feliz home he shared with shunned starlet Kristen Stewart after the 22-year-old actress admitted to cheating with her Snow White and The Huntsman director, Rupert Sanders. Even after Stewart confronted her mistake with a public apology to her loved one, her efforts are proving ineffective as the couple has reportedly not spoken since the rumors surfaced. Now, unnamed sources are coming forward to defend the liaison as a harmless match of tonsil hockey.
If her affair with her 41-year-old married director wasn’t sexual, is this difference in action still too little, too late?
Side note – can I highlight that both Stewart and Sanders are being incredibly upfront and honest about their dalliance? This is almost unprecedented regarding Hollywood scandals. Who admits wrongdoing the day of and is willing to face their consequences in the public eye? They made a mistake – a bad one, but I can’t recall the last time a celebrity admitted to being imperfect.
But I digress…
In a way, could kissing be worse than having sex? Kissing could hold an emotional and intimate essence, whereas sex could be purely physical. Flipping the argument around, kissing is a common and harmless symbol of affection between good friends. However, with sex, many people end up emotionally involved with their partners or least require it before engaging in the act.
Kissing or sex – is the level of betrayal behind these actions different or do both symbolize a breach in trust?
Either way, Stewart feels awful for her mistake and is still attempting to make amends with Pattinson for her indiscretion. Could this damage control alleviate the emotional wounds that have already driven Pattinson away?
What is your take on the confirmed infidelity? Which is worse – kissing or sex, or are both equal violations?

She was attracted to her director and acted on it. You can’t act on everything you feel. She cheated, period, whether it was just kissing or sex.

@ShimmerBodyCream@xanga - LOL. He must be doing something right.
Personally, I don’t care who she lets in her breeches. I consider both infidelity. I’d be pissed if my husband did either with someone else.

who cares

Nah, she just feels awful that she got caught.

Anything that takes away from your relationship is cheating to me, be it emotional or physical. Attraction to other beings is natural but we have a brain & knowledge & she chose to act stupid. She’s sorry she got caught. If you “loved him” it wouldn’t have happened.

Kissing is just as bad as sex – she cheated, full stop. Rob is better off without her.

Look, I don’t care who Kristen Stewart is splitting her freshly-waxed vaj for….. she’s a skank and so is Pattinson (according the US Weekly, Pattinson cheated on his last girlfriend with Stewart… so this is something he richly deserves).
Stewart and whoever that dude is is only being “upfront” because the pictures caught them and left no room for deniability. Sorry, but nobody in this situation deserves any respect.

I wanna make some joke about how I guess having your Edward isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.. but I just feel bad for Robert Pattinson. Getting cheated on sucks, & to have most of America talking about it, spattering it all over the internet & the news, while your heart is breaking just seems awful.
guest
They don’t look like they’re very sorry in the pictures I’ve seen of them…

actually, to me cheating must entail sex, even though all other forms of physical or emotional intimacy are still betrayals. sex comes second only to actually falling in love with another person in terms of betrayal and unforgivability.
If it’s just as simple as making out, then most likely I will forgive my SO

If you participate in either a kiss or sex with someone else, and your spouse/significant other finds it unacceptable, I would consider both as forms of cheating. I wouldn’t consider either more severe than the other. Just because you admit to cheating, it does not make it more acceptable to me. I believe she made a dumb choice to act stupidly, and she only admitted to it because she was caught.
guest
Well, seeing as sex usually involves kissing as well…….. Either way, it’s wrong. If my boyfriend just kissed another girl, I would still be extremely pissed and break up with him because that is breaking my trust.
guest
obviously it was wrong and they only acted on it with an apology because it was so obvious that those pictures were real and were everywhere. he looks better looking than rob though.
but i think he should get more than what she is getting. he was married with children, that is much more than 2 kids in a relationship who (so ive heard) cheated on other people to be with each other too.

oh god… something makes me wish none of it ever happened and that robert would just take her back. DARNIT!
guest
Good job about being honest & upfront, but still shame on them for being unfaithful.
I was sad to hear this though. I’m not a fan or follower of them/Twilight, but I was happy that they were together.
guest
I think it was. Or wasn’t. Either way, the repercussions are dire. But, alternately, not dire. She should apologize. Or did already. Now it should be his turn. Or should it? The answer may surprise you. Or not surprise you. Maybe. Adventures in K-Stew.

I also agree that it was…uh…how should I put this….brave of them to just be honest about it. Even with pictures I’m pretty sure most other celebrities would’ve denied it and/or claimed the pictures were doctored.
