Megan Barry, the Mayor of Nashville, Should Have a Boyfriend On the Side
Nashville Mayor Megan Barry has publicly apologized for having an affair with the head of her security team. The security official, Sgt. Robert Forrest Jr. has abruptly resigned from his post.
Why did this make the news? Some speculate that the business trips they took were billed to the government and Megan may have paid Forrest overtime for their trysts. But that’s gossip. No charges have been filed and Mayor Megan Barry has denied any wrong-doing.
According to Newsweek, when Mayor Megan issued the public apology for the affair she said, ““God will forgive me, but the people of Nashville don’t have to…”
Although most people aren’t angry about her affair, she doesn’t need the public’s approval. Her admittance of her actions proves that she is a strong and proud woman and the fact that she does not plan to resign over this incident lets everyone know that she does not truly believe she did anything wrong in relation to her role as the Mayor.
She knows what she did. She did it with consent. She is only apologizing because certain members of society expect that a woman in a marriage should not have another lover. These certain members of society who hold this belief in turn hold others to that same standard when really, every powerful woman should have her choice of lovers and those who are devoted to offering her pleasure while she undertakes the arduous task of leadership.
Mayor Megan Barry needed a different type of love that her husband could not offer. She worked closely with a man who was charged with protecting her and it turns out that he was qualified to fulfill an additional need as well. Good for her!
For an affair to last longer than one night there has to be an element of appreciation and love. Women can and should be respected to make the choice to love more than one person. If love is offered to you by more than one person, why is it considered wrong to accept it? As humans, we have come into this life to experience love, to have adventures and to create. The concepts of monogamy and marriage are socially constructed, made up by men with the intention to control the actions of others.
Mayor Megan’s husband Bruce does not plan to file for a divorce. Perhaps they are operating under a Loving Female Led Relationship where he understands the intricate needs of the woman he married and he respects her wishes to receive love and pleasure from another man. This doesn’t make him weak or stupid, it demonstrates his dedication to supporting her desires as a woman and as a leader. More men should understand this.
Mayor Megan Barry is a community leader and she is under a vast amount of pressure and expectations. She should have a doting husband AND a kind boyfriend to offer her relief and pleasure anytime she wants it. No need to apologize.

The only questionable issue here is the billing. She or her lover should pay for their love affair. (The same applies for male leaders and managers. Whp paid, for instance, Monica Lewinsky and from what money? Did she do the job? The blow-job doesn’t count.)
I thought long and hard about this and your words Te-Erika and it’s made me realise just how right you are. As more and more women are taking the roles of leadership and leaders, both in society and in relationships, the support we as men give should include the supporting of their needs in every and whatever ways they need. As you rightly say the fact that the quite obviously amazing Mayor Megan Barry has a boyfriend/lover doesn’t make her husband weak or pathetic, or her a bad woman, it shows just want a strong and loving and truly supportive man and husband he is who obviously recognises his wife has needs that he can’t fulfill but totally supports his wife in finding the fulfillment she does need. As you rightly say she has no need to apologise to anyone, and I thank you for enlightening me with your words.
Thank You! I could not agree more, and fully support my wife’s decisions. If she chooses this option it only helps to solidify her authority and my beta status. A happy and fulfilled Wife should be of the utmost importance.
Would you be saying the same thing if the Mayor was a man cheating on his wife? If not, then this is hypocrisy! Not equality or love.
Yes, I would. I believe all leaders should have the choice to have comfort in the ways that they need.
If tax dollars were not involved, my only complaint would be if he reports to her. If so, there’s an unequal power dynamic, as he’s under some pressure to consent to keep his job. That can break policy, and sometimes the law, in many places.
She absolutely has nothing to apologize for. As we shift increasingly to a Female-led society, the reality of wives having “outside” sexual partners will lose shock value. We will all be better off when the term “cuckolded” becomes synonymous with “married.” A wife’s use of other males for sexual purposes should be universally accepted, and not just for wives in power positions like the Mayor.
I do agree that the possible abuse of taxpayer dollars should be investigated
