Gov. Spitzer''''s wife

I would tend to agree, you have a life etc, BUT, that is a major violation. What if he brought home an STD and I do not mean Save the Date. That would not be okay at all.

My opinion on the news conference is that''s politics. Unfortunately, that''s just the way it goes. If you want to be successful in American politics nowadays you need to be married and at least appear stable. I agree with you cara bout Hil, hey maybe she told Bill she wouldn''t give him a divorce because she wanted to be President, haha. Anyway, if it were me personally it''d depend on whether or not I was in politics. Does that make sense? I mean, my husband cheating on me is completely unacceptable and in any normal situation if there were no kids I''d strongly consider divorce. If we had kids, well then I''d have to think longer about it. I know I''d be bitter and pretty cruel, so if he''d be willing to deal with what I''d put him through after then maybe we could stay together. Does that make sense?

I do not know. I have an issue with someone cheating, yes, but I also think this is SO much more than hubby dallying with a paralegal in his office. He is such a hypocrite and broke laws he was so tough about enforcing...I would lose even more respect for him than I would for just the cheating aspect. And how do you gain that trust and respect back when you have been maligned on such a large scale, and so publically?

I am sure people stay in marriages without love if there is a gain involved, but I would not live my life that way. I think you sell your soul that way and it is not going to be good in the long run, in my view.

PS...heard a comment by someone about this that you are not paying a prostitute for sex, you are paying her to leave after. To me, the reason some men go to "professionals" is they think there are not strings attached. Normally, a pro takes your money and does what you want. A mistress might make demands upon you or your time, and expect you to leave your wife.

I also heard a therapist discussing that many men want things that are distasteful and they cannot imagine their wife doing those things, they cannot view her in that manner or are unwilling to expect that of her, since it would be tough for them to reconcile that aspect with her being the mother of his kids or his partner outside the bedroom. Paying someone to do so is more about a business transaction, and you do not have to go to religious services with them or go to family dinners. I am NOT saying this justifies it, and a healthy view of sexuality with your lifemate should preclude that thinking, but it is an interesting phenomenon that is not uncommon among some men apparently.

Those women have status, power, and money because of their husband''s positions.

Actually both Silda Wall Spitzer and Hillary Clinton were corporate lawyers who made far more money than their husbands did in public service. Neither of them was a clinging vine.

You can be a clinging vine over more than just money.

If they are not clinging vines, what are they? Loving wives who forgive and forget? Would you forgive and forget? I hope not.
