Some things are just unforgivable.
For Demi Moore, husband Ashton Kutcher's one-night stand with Sara Leal on their sixth wedding anniversary turned out to be a hurt that she couldn't overcome -- leading to her painful decision (announced Thursday) to call it quits on their marriage of six years.
"The final straw with Sara Leal has just been too humiliating for Demi to get over," a source close to the former couple tells Us Weekly. The Two and a Half Men star, 33, had sex with San Diego party girl Leal, 22, in the wee hours of Sept. 24 in his hotel suite. As Leal explained to Us, Kutcher claimed at the time that he and Moore, 49, were already separated.

Margin Call actress Moore "just couldn't look at Ashton the same way and the marriage... completely unraveled," the pal explains. "She still loves Ashton but feels he went too far and disrespected her and their marriage in a way that can't be taken back."
Three other factors? Rumer, 23, Scout, 20, and Tallulah, 17, her daughters with second husband Bruce Willis. "She wants to set an example for her daughters and this was just something she could not rationalize to them or to herself."

And, indeed, she tried with months of counseling and heart-to-hearts with friends. "She really tried everything she could to forgive him and accept his apologies," the pal says. "At the end of the day, the public humiliation and the example she was setting by staying in the marriage just wasn't the right thing for her."

17Oh come on ! She I 20 years older than him,she should have expect it! Plus if it was the night of their anniversary why she was not with her husband?
the age difference does not work its to many years and men dont mature like women do sorry for her it hurts but she is doing the right thing for her girls and it will happen again
time for them to both move on......
This is why "open" marriages (relationships) as they supposedly had, don't work. You open that door and there's no turning back. She cut off her nose to spite her face.
That's weak..sorry.
Demi Moore has been married twice before so in a Biblical sense is no angel herself. Ashton getting some tail on the side was always on the cards (I wouldn't be surprised if this wasn't his first fling). Idle moralizing aside, it is unnatural to expect a handsome young man to be faithful to a woman nearly a generation older, who has also made it clear that she is not going to bear him children. Millenia of evolution demand that he plant his seed elsewhere.
Any man who cheats with low lifes like h00k ers and trash like that, is no real man. It shows he's week. Good for Demi. I am glad she respects herself enough to kick the loser to the curb. I never could stand him anyway.
Good for u Demi!! Kick the cheating bastard to the curb and move on!!
Hey Ashton you've been punked, as reported in the Daily Mail, not only did you have an open marriage, Demi is into girls.
Good for Ashton, no real man should stay married to a feminist anyway. Bravo!
Not only is Ashton at fault here - I will always remember Sara Leal as a woman with no decency. Fancy allowing yourself to get involved with a married man then boasting about it. She should be ashamed of herself for ruining a marriage...as should Ashton. If he wanted to leave, just leave, don't humiliate the person who said they would love you for the rest of their life!!!
I agree! She's definitely doing the right thing. He knew if he cheated on Demi, the girl would run to the press but he did it anyway and apparently told her "I did good" the morning after?!. He completely disrespected Demi and I hope no one ever believes his lies again.
i can understand her inability to want to go on with this man. my ex-husband,yrs ago, cheated on me, twice that i finally found out about. it's just too disgusting to think of being with someone after that, and he's a loser anyway. she's never been one of my favorites, but i just think she has to be able to do better than him.
This was never going to work. In fact, it's amazing the farce lasted as long as it did. Note to old broads: Cougar-ing is for one nighters... NOT marriage.
Good for u demi..Yes it not acceptable..How can one still trust a cheater spouse..
Demi you can do alot better go back to Bruce and Kutcher you have ruined Two and Half Men.
I just don't like Ashton anymore, he's a useless piece of shyt as far as I'm concerned!
