Jenny Sanford, the wife of South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, told Vogue magazine that finding out about her husband’s affair with an Argentine woman felt like “punches to the gut.”
Sanford, 47, has remained relatively quiet since her husband’s infidelity became public in June, but in an in-depth interview in the magazine’s latest issue, she pulls no punches of her own about her feelings.
Sanford and her four sons, ranging in age from 10 to 17, have moved out of the governor’s mansion and into the family’s home in Sullivan’s Island. She has been praised for her reaction to the affair, in contrast to other political spouses in similar situations who put on a brave front in public to stand by their men

Really? Who'd have thunk it....
Cheer up Sanford. You could have been Mrs. Edwards.
If he doesn't give up his Argentine infatuation and beg forgiveness from this good woman, he's a bigger fool than I already think. He's throwing away a gem.
She sounds a little sexist to me. I know plenty of women who have gotten to mid-life only to become casual lesbians. It’s not a guy only thing.
I don’t understand why people who want to screw around get married in the first place. If you want to do that, just don’t get married.
Exactly right. She should not take him back until he brings the fruit of Godly repentance. Should he show any unfaithfulness of any kind, she would have Biblical grounds for divorce.
She has my prayers, and he my imprecatory prayers.
Now who says that Vogue doesn’t give its spotlight to Republicans. Here they are giving lots of publicity to Sanford.
While I don’t know all the circumstances that led up to his infidelity, it is apparent to me that Governor Sanford is a putz.
That's called fornication and an Adulteration of Marriage. Most folks don't understand that such poisons the future possibilities of a happy committed relationship. The price paid for abstaining is worth it in every regard.
Especially in terms of Legacy and Grand Children:)
Only thing is, the mistress won't want him now that he's damaged goods. LOL on him.

In my first marriage, I had lots of women hit on me. I would not partake since I was married, but I mistakenly interpreted it that they would be available IF I was single. So divorced my wife and all the available women evaporated.
I still regret dumping my first wife, even 28 years later.

It may be a little like people who really aren’t going to work out purchasing a gym membership.
“If he doesn’t give up his Argentine infatuation and beg forgiveness from this good woman, he’s a bigger fool than I already think. He’s throwing away a gem.”
Maybe the Agentine infatuation is a more valuable gem.
No one deserves to be treated as she was. No one.
I don’t have a great deal of sympathy for her, since she knew about this all along and enabled it.
“...male politicians become blinded...”
I heard it could do that.
“Maybe the Agentine infatuation is a more valuable gem.”
No more than a cheap knock-off if she knowingly had a long-term affair with a married man. No excuse. None.
Colonel, USAFR
At least some GOP wives don’t put up with this crap unlike the dem wives
