The Affair

[Poirot]

Opinions are divided as to who was most at fault for the sex romps between EJ and Abigail.
So.....who is more at fault, in your opinion? And you do not have to post if you would rather not. But do vote!

 

[KathyLu]

They were both consenting adults and it still takes two. At least Abigail didn't have a gun to her head. I voted equally at fault.

 

[redsquirrel]

Equally at fault for me, too. Even though Abby was the first to let EJ know she was ready, willing, and able.

 

[oldsoapie]

Equally at fault......for sure.

 

[Old Cowgirl]

Both! It takes two to tango but it only takes one to resist and cause it to not happen (not counting rape). Neither one of them resisted.

 

[Sher]

Unlike some other cases of so-called "making love", neither had a gun to their heads or a loved one in extreme danger they needed to save. I'd say it's a wash (or dirty laundry maybe).

[JasonDíSpeech]

I voted EJ, because the wording of "affair" and EJ was the one in a relationship. However, Abby definitely was interested in keeping things going for a few weeks there, moreso than EJ. I'd say the fault is 72-28% favouring EJ.

 

[SnowFox]

They are both at fault, and Sami has every right to be furious.

 

[Heather4CU]

Equally but since EJ was the one in a committed relationship, I think more of the onus was on him to refrain. And he did not.

 

[Soaphead]

Equal. One time or another both would pretend to "walk away" only to be "pulled back" and it didn't take much for either of them to turn their "we shouldn't's " to Let's do it.

 

[missharleyquinn]

Equal, as EJ was in a relationship and Abigail knew it.

 

[lovin_safe]

I voted equally....Junior should have never followed Abby to the cabin and when things got a little heated he should have left the building, he is a big strong boy now, and ran to his motorboat and headed back to Salem all by himself! Abby has a thing for forbidden fruit so to speak. So hopefully Abby has learned her lesson and will think twice before letting a man that is commitment to someone else take over her life! Because we all know "no one will find out how can they" famous last words of junior's!

 

[Daysdegrassi]

Both are wrong but I voted EJ. He was in the relationship, so I just think he should have been more responsible. Not that I care-anything to break up the crappy couple is fine with me.

 

[JasonDíSpeech]

The EJ/Abby affair was wonderful storytelling for a few reasons, in my opinion:
1) It kept Abby from Praising Dr Love for a few months;
2) It was really unexpected;
3) It was steamy in a mostly tasteful way;
4) It was and has never been proposed as a serious relationship (which would be ridiculous);
5) It provided great scenes with James Scott (EJ) without Sami Gene;
6) It hopefully will lead to some great character development with Abigail;
7) It will likely/hopefully lead to the end of the Golden Goose couple.

Who's to blame? Who cares!! It was wonderful!! LOL

 

[Heroic Muse]

I think they were both equally responsible, yet at times one or the other was more responsible for the continuation of the affair.

EJ didn't have to follow Abby to Horton Cabin and didn't have to respond to her flirting to him. Abby also could have stopped herself before it went any further, laughed it off with "Just kidding, I know we're just friends and I would never do that to Sami."

Abby didn't have to show up at the locker room or at the board room.

EJ didn't have to follow Abby to the supply closet or show up at the hospital when he knew she would be working there.

I've said it before in other threads: EJ has more experience with seduction, but Abby chose to sleep with him and to try to keep it going for a little bit afterwards. I think it became compulsive for her; I remember her asking herself, "What am I doing?" but that should have been a clue to get help rather than to let things just keep happening.

 

[guilty pleasure]

Definitely both of them equally. EJ was in a committed relationship and should have resisted. Abby knew he was in a committed relationship and should have resisted. If Abby didn't know EJ was in a relationship, that would be a different story. But when you are aware of that little tidbit, you are equally as wrong for initiating or agreeing to extraneous sexual acts... regardless of how "hot" they might be!

 

[TamiBelle]

They both are equals in this, she kept going back and he kept putting out.

 

[maxine]

It does not matter how it started but it does takes two to do IT. .... and EJ and Abby did IT together.:fan:

 

[Muzzaman]

Like others have said it takes two to tango and I'd like to add that it also takes two to play tongue hockey! Both are at fault.
