Did Paula Broadwell’s Cuckolded Husband Write a Letter to Chuck Klosterman in the The New York Times?

By Taylor Berman
November 9, 2012

In the July 13th edition of Klosterman’s The Ethicist advice column for the New York Times, an anonymous reader wrote in seeking advice about an affair his wife was having with a “government executive” whose job “is seen worldwide as a demonstration of American leadership.” The anonymous reader went on to praise the government executive as “gracious” and “absolutely the right person for the job.” He then asked if he should acknowledge the affair or let it continue until the project succeeds. Sounds like the government executive could hold a position like, say, the director of the CIA, right? In other words, did Paula Broadwell’s husband know about her affair with David Petraeus and then turn to, of all people, Chuck Klosterman for advice? Maybe!

Let’s look at the facts. The reader says he’s “watched the affair intensify over the last year,” which matches the Wall Street Journal’s timeline of the affair (August 2011 until “several months ago”). It also makes sense that Broadwell’s husband would have some idea about the affair considering she apparently was always off jogging with Petraeus, not to mention the fact that she’s spent a good deal of her career worshipping/writing “fan fiction” about the former general.

MY WIFE’S LOVER

My wife is having an affair with a government executive. His role is to manage a project whose progress is seen worldwide as a demonstration of American leadership. (This might seem hyperbolic, but it is not an exaggeration.) I have met with him on several occasions, and he has been gracious. (I doubt if he is aware of my knowledge.) I have watched the affair intensify over the last year, and I have also benefited from his generosity. He is engaged in work that I am passionate about and is absolutely the right person for the job. I strongly feel that exposing the affair will create a major distraction that would adversely impact the success of an important effort. My issue: Should I acknowledge this affair and finally force closure? Should I suffer in silence for the next year or two for a project I feel must succeed? Should I be “true to my heart” and walk away from the entire miserable situation and put the episode behind me? NAME WITHHELD
