The wife of Rep. Jeff Duncan, R-S.C., has filed for divorce, alleging he had at least one affair during their marriage.

In the Friday filing at a courthouse in Laurens County, Melody Duncan, who has three adult children with the congressman, accused her husband of having multiple extramarital affairs and leaving their home to live with another woman.

Duncan, who touts himself online as a "strong advocate for life and traditional family values," has been married to Melody since December 1988.

The filing, which came around noon on Friday, listed Duncan's paramour as Liz Williams, who is reportedly a lobbyist in the Washington, D.C. area.

Argh! Married 35 years and throw it all away! Why do men do this? Why do women do this? Why would a woman get involved with a man she knows is married? I truly dislike this promiscuous society where anything goes!

I can’t speak for all men, but many men are not affirmed at home and the women thinks her marriage is fine while the man suffers. When that happens, he’s going to be vulnerable to affirmations from the outside.

I’m not excusing him, but I know men are especially vulnerable to outside affirmations because they are often never affirmed during the normal course of their day and that leaves them vulnerable, especially if they are in Washington for weeks at a time and the wife doesn’t take the time to try and love her husband from a distance.

It’s often the same for the woman and the man is not affirming her attractiveness to him.

Exactly, why do people think they can work with the opposite sex, look your best, be on best behavior then come home and the spouses give each other the left overs. Both spouses working is why divorce is rampant but everyone thinks they can beat the odds. The risk isnt worth it.

DC is a disgusting place. No secret there.

Only a very strong person of morals can go there and not fall prey to what is considered routine in that place.

There was an article years ago, on Breitbart, about just how bad it was. One of their senior writers detailed going to an event with many members of Congress and some weren’t even shy about it. Hitting on his wife/girlfriend, right in front of him.

I witnessed an episode while working in Iraq with a member of Congress putting his hands on a State Dept staffer. She was not happy. Neither were the guys watching it happen, who were all within 6’ of her, as we were all engaged in a conversation. Most of us were familiar with her as we worked with her often due to her job. And she was considered one of the “cool ones”. Pretty sh*tty stuff. Nothing any of us could do.

I agree. It’s easier for both when their daily interactions with each other is limited. No long hours with each other.

But also remember to love your spouse. If you won’t love your spouse, it’s not reasonable to expect them to believe they are loved by you.

And this is bad when we’ve got a “president” who showers with little girls. Give it up RATS. Divorces happen. This is none of your damn business.

It happens everywhere. But yeah. It doesn't help that it's in D.C.

Back when I was in high school a quirky teacher told the “Social Studies” class that one definition of “Congress” was “sexual intercourse” and indeed that is one definition of “Congress”.

It takes many routes including the fornication with the lobbyists literal and figurative as well as the fornication of “We The People” with higher out of control spending and so on.

I had a college guy helping me on some work. He said his professor, a well-respected geologist that was head of the department, writing a book, etc. had a fling with a college girl.

Lost his job, book deal, wife and children. Was working a job in data entry somewhere.

Just crazy - all because of sex.

Forgetting where you parked your car is a mistake. Adultery is a sin.

FWIW, I looked at this guy’s voting record.

Jeff Duncan represents South Carolina’s 3rd congressional district.

He’s one of the most conservative members of congress.

He was reelected in 2022 with 97.6 percent of the vote in the general election.

Pretty impressive.

I hate to sound like a jerk but obviously “anything” doesn’t go which is why this adulterer is getting a divorce.
