the idea of her misery, though, and I do wish those who choose to reveal this about themselves would not do it on DU.

Melania has various duties like any wife (she made a deal to support him, knowing what he was, that she is apparently honoring as much as her unhappiness allows), mother, relative and first lady, and walking away for good may not seem that right or easy from inside. Itm, she clearly does a lot of little walking aways in between duties to support.

No one talks about Princess Diana with this kind of malice, btw. Even if there are a lot of differences in personality, there are also a lot of parallels in their marriage traps and unhappiness. Does anyone imagine Diana was romantically in love with that boring older royal with whom she had not one thought in common, or that she was unaware that he was involved in a long-term relationship with another woman who did?
