[CatWoman]

I posted this thread on Friday: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10025527460

I just read that the fiancee found out about the breakup via that FB post.

Mark Sanford sure treats the people he claims he cares about like sh*t:

Mark Sanford's Fiancee Found Out About Split From Facebook Post

The former fiancee of Rep. Mark Sanford (R-S.C.) found out the engagement was off the same way the rest of the world did: by reading a lengthy Facebook post written by Sanford.

"I learned it from the press today," Maria Belen Chapur told The New York Times. Chapur was in Paris, where she had been vacationing with Sanford, where the two had discussed the plans to set a date for their marriage, capping a long and tumultuous relationship that began as an extramarital affair.

After a week together Chapur described as like a "honeymoon," she pressed Sanford on a wedding date. "I had a spectacular week, you know I love you, but I don’t want to continue in the category of mistress, and if we continue like this I continue in that category, and I can’t bear it anymore. It has been really painful to me," she said she told him. Sanford is said to have replied, "24 months. If not I’ll say goodbye and I will look for you in 24 months."

On Friday afternoon, Sanford delivered his full reply in a 2,346-word post. "I cannot do this anymore," Sanford wrote, "No relationship can stand forever this tension of being forced to pick between the one you love and your own son or daughter, and for this reason Belen and I have decided to call off the engagement."

Chapur revealed on Saturday that the affair that captured national attention and stymied Sanford's political career had been deteriorating amid disagreements over their wedding date and the status of Sanford's divorce from Jenny Sanford. The Times reports that Chapur had asked for their split to be made public, and the abrupt Facebook post was certainly that.

1. Guess he prefers to climb a tree and tell a lie when the truth would sound better on the ground.

It does not seem the two were in accord with each other. Moral of the story, don't 💑 your soul mate.
I think her status has gone up. Kick the zero to the curb and get herself a hero.

2. He's a narcissistic prick

It's all about him for that entitled asshole. His children will deliver his karma.

3. can't wait for his defenders to show up

they've certainly shown up on the Huffington Post comments.

What justification they are using? But.......Clinton! John Edwards!!!

6. That's pathetic

At least they faced their consequences - this one expected things to fall into place like some fugging fairy tale.
Infidelity and divorce are messy - especially when there are kids involved. He's a complete fool - how do you defend this selfish prick who climbed his ladder on his wife's money and then expected her to be nice about his very public infidelity.

7. found this juicy tidbit on Raw Story (re: the divorce)

Wonkette’s Kaili Joy Gray obtained the family court hearing transcript that includes details about the divorce between South Carolina Representative Mark Sanford (R) and his ex-wife, Jenny.

According to Gray, the 79-page transcript details how Sanford attempted to avoid paying college tuition for his son, Marshall, claiming that “I’m renowned for being cheap. I want you to keep in mind again, how [Jenny] knows I’m cheap. Anybody out there knows I’m cheap.” When Jenny attempted to collect tuition money, he claimed to be “really squeezed for cash” after losing his job as governor of South Carolina.

The court documents acquired by Wonkette also shed light on some of the more bizarre details of the Sanford’s divorce settlement — foremost among them, that “the parties agree that…no airplanes will be flown at children.” Jenny’s attorney, Deena S. McRackan, had her describe an photograph taken at the Coosaw air strip.

“This is a game of chicken on the Coosaw air strip,” she said. “And it is Mark Sanford with a pack of children. And the plane is a Mooney. They fly 175 to 200 miles per hour and they fly straight at the children. And the game is to see who can stand up the longest.”

As Gray noted, “the plane flown at children was no toy plane. It was an actual plane, owned and operated by John, another member of the Sanford clan, whom Mark described as the ‘crazy cousin with an airplane.’”

Another revelation was that after a second child drowned in the pool at Coosaw Plantation, Sanford’s brother Billy told the family that he had accidentally allowed liability insurance on the property to lapse. “I had every expectation that we would have had liability insurance. It turns out the week — one week prior to this horrific and very sad incident at the farm, my brother let it lapse, unbeknownst to any of the other siblings,” Sanford said.

Jenny was concerned that after the divorce, as a part-owner, she would be liable for that death, or for any future ones. As all of the financial burden of raising the children was on her, she wanted “to make sure that if there is any liability that arises from activities there, that nothing can come back after me and the assets that I have for me and my children, or in any way harm my ability to raise those children sufficiently going forward.”
