What a pitiful lack of self respect Mrs. Clinton and Mrs. Edwards must have that they enable their husbands to abuse them in public. Shameful.
I applaud the Japanese wife who assaulted her philandering politician husband as he was making his mea culpa for infidelity in front of the press. If more politicians’ wives did that, there would be less of this gross hypocrisy on the national stage.

I find myself agreeing on one level with you but not on another.

I feel too many men and women throw marriages away because of infidelity or other relationship issues and are not prepared to work through it.

Of course if the infidelity/or other problems continues then this is different but I find the modern attitude of one mistake and out hard to take also the attitude that a women who continues to live with her husband who has had an affair or done other things disrespecting herself and her gender and shows weakness on her behalf - maybe sometimes this is true but in many cases this is simply not the full story.

Somehow I see it sometimes as strength because she may well have had to fight like crazy to keep him because despite his floars she loves him, he may well have wanted to go but she fought and fought and showed him how deep her love and commitment was that he knew whatever he may feel about her at present or the infatuation and supposed love for his mistress he will never get that loyalty and love elsewhere.

She may well have to continue to fight and show immense strength whilst emotionally inside being in pieces. On the outside to keep her man she has to be his best friend, wife, and lover to him without bitterness and rancor, yes let him know she is hurt and will remain so deep inside for sometime but move on from there and not bring it up every 5 mintues because that would only eventually lead to him wanting out if that continued.

Far from weakness the wife or girlfriend that wants her husband/partner to stay after such incidents IMHO is a strong women who earns my respect not my criticism.
