At least that’s what he told his first two wives...

Maybe Newt learned from his mistakes. After all three times is a charm.

Time to open your heart; forgive and move on. It’s not healthy for you to hold grudges for another’s personal indiscretions for so long.

How do you know what he told his wife?

You’ve never heard of repentance? Our Lord has granted you the ability to read hearts and determine when sinners have demonstrated sufficient contrition?

In fact, you have absolutely no idea what told his wife or what their private conservations regarded.

My father was married five times to four different women (twice to my mother). He never once forgot his obligations to his children and never missed a payment of child support. He rarely visited his children from his marriage to my mother (5, three boys, two girls), mostly because my mother didn't want him around, and caused a scene when he did come for visits.

My mother painted a horrid picture of our father to her children in an attempt to sway their favor to her, and away from him. Most of what she told us was untrue. Because of this my siblings only made contact with our father when they needed financial help.

I decided that I wanted a relationship with my father, and to allow my children to have a relationship also. I put aside my father's faults, most of which had absolutely nothing to do with me, and developed that relationship. My wife, my children, and me spent as much time as we could getting to know him. While he was pained by the fact his other children wanted nothing to do with him, he greatly loved and enjoyed the time with his granchildren, my wife, and me. This would not have happened if I had never put aside what took place between him and my mother.

My father will have been gone for 5 years on 11/4/11, having died in a motorcycle accident at age 68. After his death my siblings only showed up to see what they might inherit, which was nothing. I live peacefully in the knowledge that we had a great relationship. My siblings are unable to say the same thing. To this day they remain angry at this man that they never knew.

My point is, what happens in the private lives of others and between others should not be used to judge them so harshly. Doing so only enhances the pain. There comes a time when one needs to put the past to rest. Those who are unable to do so will be the miserable ones.

And you bringing this up, is nothing but absolute speculation, which should be reserved orchestrated stupid television shows like Dr. Idiot, or Jerry Springer and his audience slackjawed morons.
