Oksana Says Goodbye to Important Witness

Oksana Grigorieva is currently attending funeral services for a close friend of hers ... a friend who also happened to babysit for Oksana and Mel Gibson's daughter Lucia ... and may have had some critical information about Mel.
As we previously reported, the babysitter had claimed that she was at Mel's home on January 6th -- and allegedly heard the actor go crazy while Oksana was at her son's basketball game.

The woman -- who died after battling cancer -- claimed to have heard part of the explosive argument between Mel and Oksana later that day, but claims she left before any alleged blows were struck.

And ... we're told the babysitter never gave a sworn statement to police or the lawyers regarding the incident ... because she claimed she was sick and had other things on her mind.

5 Ways Relationships Are Ruined By Cheating

There are absolutely many ways cheating can ruin a relationship. Ways that can sometimes uneasy to detect other than not obvious ones lurking deep and waiting to strike when you least expect it. Cheating is no doubt under the greatest consideration when you are wary of the outcomes.

There are 5 ways relationships can be ruined thus you have to take them with utmost importance especially if you are cheating on your spouse now.

1) Cheating and lying comes hand in hand. With due time, cheating occurs in an attempt to take away the time you devote for your family or your relationship. Maintaining an affair is very hard and a lie is a big necessity to behold. When you lie especially when it’s frequent, you pave way for your spouse to know you are indeed cheating.

2) Cheating is expensive. In this recession, one cannot expect a less costly endeavor. The economy is more risky than before so don’t be certain of the current market we have right now. Money should stay with the household budget and savings plans. Otherwise, prepare for a more secured accounting of your budget. Money has to go somewhere and if your wife doesn’t know where it went then you should have an explanation better than donation excuses.

3) Losing focus. When the relationship isn’t clear anymore there might be something wrong with it. More likely, cheating is a culprit of the downturn. Of all the best things in life, it’s the only thing you’ll never have again so unique of its kind. A family you took care of so hard since the start. Cheating has been a distraction and it’s time to get back on focus before your spouse notices.

4) It hurts the people you love most in this world. Not only are you hurting your wife but, if you have children together, you are hurting your entire family. These are the people who love you no matter what. Adultery hurts them in more ways than you’ll ever know.

5) It makes your spouse feel like a second class citizen or as though he or she is somehow second best. The last thing you want to do is erode the self-confidence of the person you profess to love. Cheating does this and there is little that can be done to correct the problem. It just takes time.
