JESSE JAMES new memoir, American Outlaw, was released this week and in it he spills all his life misgivings. One subject he won’t broach? He and SANDRA BULLOCK‘s adopted baby, Louis. He says it’s just too painful that she has full custody now. But what about Sandy? Well, he had some very nice and honest revelations about why his marriage crumbled.

So why did he choose to cheat on his wife with numerous women?

“You’re trapped, I thought suddenly. It came out of nowhere, but you’re trapped pretty good, aren’t you? Before I met Sandy, I’d romanticized the stable, calm married life: the idea of me finally growing up. But now I missed… talking shit, cracking jokes with my no-good friends. Too many people knew me now. I couldn’t escape…Mentally at a loss, desperate for something to make me feel like I had some sense of freedom, I ran through the list of things I could do to assert independence over my life. Infidelity, unfortunately, was at the top of my list.”

Ugh. What a child, right? James then goes on to say he was never shown real love as a child so when Sandra fell in love with him he rejected her affection by sabotaging the relationship.

What do you think? Clever excuses for infidelity or has this experience forced him to be more introspective? Wouldn’t you hate to be his new girlfriend? Ugh.
