Men are Men...

...no matter the job. From ArcaMax News:

SOME FIREFIGHTERS LEFT WIVES

At least a dozen of New York's firefighters -- some assigned to look after Sept. 11 widows -- have left their wives for the World Trade Center widows, sources tell the New York Post.

Fire Department of New York spokesman David Billig would not comment and another FDNY official tells the Post, "It's a very sensitive topic."

"It's disgusting, heartbreaking what they've done," said Mary Koenig who claims her husband Gerry left her for a World Trade Center widow. Some psychologists tell the Post it is not surprising that married firefighters fell in love with some of the widows, it's all part of their "rescue fantasies."

Now, I can't say that a dozen is a big group considering the number of New York City firefighters - and I don't believe the women are blameless. Disintegrating marriages always make me sad. I can't imagine someone who has lost their husband wanting another woman to go through losing theirs. But that's just me.
