How is it an affair if he was separated from his wife?

This is front page news on NYTIMES.com (although it’s a small story, in the crawl). But, to date, the NY Times has not printed a single word, in it’s paper or on it’s website about Obama firing a federally protected Inspector General.

1. It’s an affair until they’re divorced.

2. The other woman was married to somebody else.

Sort of depends on the time line doesn't it. What caused the separation another woman?? Track records cause problems, ask newt.

Ya’ really need to ask that stupid question?

Just read the Bible... God says marriage is forever, if you happen to be separated, oh well, it’s still adultery.

For the life of me I cannot understand these stupid people who cheat on their wives...haven’t they any moral strength whatsoever??

That’s what I thought.....he was separated....so what’s the big deal???

Yeah, my divorce took 2 years. I started dating my current husband after my ex moved out (in with another woman) and I filed legal papers. I do not consider THAT an affair. However, if this woman was married and not separated, that is wrong.

How is it an affair if he was separated from his wife?

Two points - first, if he was separated but still married, it is still an affair. Second, it appears the woman involved was also married.

I'm glad he and his wife apparently worked it out, but this will still cause political headaches.
