Elizabeth Edwards tells talk show host Oprah Winfrey that it's a "complicated question" if she still is in love with her husband, former presidential candidate and U.S. Sen John Edwards, after his admitted affair.

In an episode of "The Oprah Winfrey Show" to air Thursday, Winfrey asks Edwards, "Are you still in love with him?"

Edwards responds, "You know, that's a complicated question," in an excerpt provided in advance to The Associated Press by Harpo Productions.

Winfrey also asks Edwards, "Is it a day by day thing?" And Edwards says, "Neither one of us is out the door so I guess it's day by day, but maybe it's month by month."

The talk-show host visited the Edwards family at the Chapel Hill, N.C., home where the couple live with their children, Cate, Jack and Emma Claire. Winfrey interviewed Elizabeth Edwards about her relationship with her husband, his affair and her battle with terminal cancer. The interview will appear on Winfrey's television show and there will be a companion piece in the June issue of "O" magazine.

Edwards wrote in her new book that news of her husband's affair made her cry, scream and throw up in a bathroom. She told Winfrey she had asked her husband for one gift when they were married 31 years ago.

"I wanted him to be faithful to me," Edwards said. "It was enormously important to me."

Four, you forgot the fourth estate. The MSM knew and kept it hush hush during the scampaign to keep Edwards candidacy viable during the primary to keep Hillary in a 3 way fight.

I did completely gloss over the obvious.

Which did she do first; cry, scream, or throw up? If I were in her shoes, the first thing I'd have done was shoot Breck Boy.

PUT SOME ICE ON IT ELIZABETH. That she hasn’t dumped her cheating scumbag husband is pathetic.

Just read in a related story that they live in a 28,000 sq ft home. Not very green if you ask me.

Amen. Elizabeth Edwards should dump her cheating husband. Let him go to his mistress and marry her and stay with her and help her take care of their child.

"I hate to admit it, but I am not the best parent in my family.

she said, on the Oprah Winfrey Show, that it didn't mean anything to her whether or not the baby was Jon's... it had nothing to do with her, and even if he is the father, that fact would not touch her life... i found this odd... cold...
