When we wrote Stand By Your Man? we got strong responses from moms ready to tackle the issue. Jennifer wrote: "Dump him. He really needs to be single if he wants to live a life of such selfishness. She really shouldn't give him another chance, because odds are, the dork will just do it again." Another mom sympathized: "She's got to be numb at this point. He's got a problem that's not going to just change. My thoughts are with his wife and daughters." Sugar Plum Fairy says: "Unfortunately, this is one more cheater to add to the long list of political cheaters. I probably would have to divorce him for my own sanity. Even God gives this way out for adultery."
Do you think she should leave him, or stay by his side?
I think she should leave.Think about if you gonna have sex with some one why would you pay for it? 4,000 especialy!!Its insulating for someone to do that to you!!And he has kids,didnt he ever think about them?!
As a woman who was raised under alcoholic parents, I can only speak from 20 yrs. of wasted life. I married an alcoholic and drug addict husband and stayed in a life destroying marriage for 20 years because I didn't believe or know that this wasn't normal. My husband gave me two STD's, once from my step-sister and another from a so called best friend. I was told by him that what he did was my fault and like an uninformed idiot I believed him all those years and became mentally ill and actually began to hurt myself, until a doctor at 1:00am in the morning said to me, "are you gonna let him kill you", at first I looked at her in total confusion because I knew I was the one hurting myself physically, when it suddenly dawned on me that I was allowing him to cause me to harm myself. It took 20 yrs. and one wonderfully intelligent Doctor who cared to make me see I was not responsible for his actions. I got the courage and actually did my own divorce. When I speak to young women now who are in abusive marriages I try to help them realize that it is not worth wasting your life with someone who is NOT GOING TO CHANGE and that it is not Their fault that a husband doesn't take his marriage vows seriously. I kept thinking that I was doing the right thing for my two son's, but looking back now I realize it was unhealty for my son's to be in this horribly unhappy situation and their father certainly wasn't setting a very good example for two boys about how to treat women. I hope my story will help young women and even women like Mrs. Spitzer at her age, that her husband is not going to change and she should get herself and her daughter's away from such a bad example and the hurt that follows his behavior!!
Kick him to the curb!
Time for the women to take over the world!
Hey, a beautiful woman like her, .....dump him and no doubt she will
have men dying to have a date with her.
He has sleeze written all over him!!!!
Dump the bastard who shamed his daughters.
I think that some men in their 40's begin to worry about their failing ability to achieve sexual bliss.
If they become aware of how easy it is to have no strings attached, it becomes an attractive option. If they find it gives them a second wind and there's no obligations
weighing on them, it's easy to see how someone might explore that possibility. Once experiencing
the power surge, it's easy to see how addicting it could be.
Why in the world would he fool around when he has someone like her at home? I think she should dump him, raise her kids and them meet someone who deserves someone like her.
My heart goes out to Mrs. Spitzer and her daughters. Personally, I would never trust this man again. Ultimately, the choice is hers. As a woman who has experienced betrayal by a man I trusted, I walked away and it was the best decision I have ever made. This may not work for her, but it's her life. We should respect whatever decision she decides to make.
No one can speak for her but if it was me, I think I would want to walk away with my children and save them from more embarrassment and criticism they are receiving from school, journalists and putting themselves through personally. I feel for these 4 women and I really wish he would pull his head out of his self-absorbed butt and see that he may have destroyed his daughters lives emotionally and their vision of men and relationships.
He needs his wife to stand beside him so the voters may forgive his crimes but this same story unfolds too often and we need to quit feeling sorry for the women who enable these men as well. We are enabling the lack of morals and values in our political leaders and encouraging dangerous and self indulgent behavior. What should our kids do but follow in these ICONS footsteps? I think he should be facing all of the same penalities any other civilian person would who committed this list of crimes, instead of using his resignation as a "time served" punishment. The people making these laws are not having to abide by them, they are not being disbarred for actions such as purgery and they will still live the sweet life after the smoke settles.
