I'm not a Foo Fighters fan but I was a little shocked to hear this because he seems like a family man. He's been married for 23 years and has almost grown kids. Story. |

This makes me sad. I never would have thought he would --- but, Im not sure what I was basing that on really.

I’m a Nirvana fan, not Foo Fighter fan. I’ve listened to his book a few times. He definitely comes across as a huge family man. This shocks and saddens me.

I've always gotten a douchbag vibe from him so there was zero surprise for me.
This is hilarious.

He's trying to regain his wife and children's trust. Good luck with that.

What is it with men this age? Two friends' 20+ yr marriages have been blown up by the husbands. One couple is trying to put things back together. The other is irreparable. Both husbands were dealing with loss of a parent/close relative and their lack of ability to deal and resulting coping mechanism was a huge breach of trust.
The husbands don't know each other. Both marriages I would have said were strong and stable.

Once that trust is broken, it is so very difficult to put things back into any semblance of a healthy relationship. Without trust, love and desire for that person can shrivel and die. Or at least that has been my experience.

He's cultivated that cool dad vibe for a long time. It sucks that it turns out he's kind of a douche.

I am so disappointed. He genuinely seemed like he was a stand up guy, but it turns out he's just like so many other men. Is it really that hard to stay faithful? And to be so stupid as to have unprotected sex. Ugh.

Nothing surprises me really….but man, I loved Dave. When Taylor died my heart broke for Dave. What a life he lived, how sad. All of that. But dang it, this makes me sad and mad (haha).
I saw online his oldest deleted her social media. Poor thing.

We never know what goes on in a marriage and this doesn't change how I feel about him personally (which is, no type of way, he's ok I guess but I'm not a fan or according).
But if I was his wife, I can move on in time from the infidelity...but not another child. Someone would have to die. That's it for me, the line we cannot cross.

This surprises me though I don't know why. Men do it all the time. I will give him credit for acknowledging the child and being a father to her vs. pretending like she doesn't exist.

Im curious if his ackowledging this child is because he was about to be exposed or if he did it willingly. We will probably never know, but I am curious. |

I just read that he filed for divorce consulted a divorce attorney before the announcement came out so I guess that's that.

Now I’ve read that he had retained a divorce lawyer prior to his announcement. |

We just went to a Foo Fighters concert in August, and DH listens to them non-stop (in fact he was listening to Foo Fighters when I read the news on this board.) I've read Dave Grohl's book and liked it. I'm still going to scrapbook my concert photos, but it kinds of puts a cloud of ick over the whole event now.

He cheated on his first wife more than once. If this is the first time he's cheated in this marriage I'll eat my hat.

I dont particularly have opinions about most public figures, assuming their morals are not important to the job they are doing.
I dont think cheating makes him a bad person - it makes him a bad husband in my opinion, but only his wife's opinion matters.
