In reply to the discussion: Weiner admits to XXX online chats with woman for 6 months *after* resigning from Congress [View all]nil desperandum
(654 posts)I don't assume she's exactly like me because I won't stay with a spouse who makes plans to put a lover in a condo while arranging sex and sending pictures of their privates to the potential paramour....
I made my comments because of what Huma said :
"It took a lot of work and a whole lot of therapy to get to a place where I could forgive Anthony," Abedin said. "It was not an easy choice in any way, but I made the decision that it was worth staying in this marriage."
Those don't sound like the words of a woman who was "okay" with any of it or knew about any of it.....perhaps the person who doesn't understand this is you because you don't mind his politics you don't mind his bad behavior.
I like his politics too, but I would like someone I intend to vote for to speak honestly about his intentions. If his past is filled with lies to his family I am concerned his future might be filled with lies as well.
If that means you think I am on a high horse, then we will have to agree that we don't see eye to eye here. I'm not convincing you that I am not a moralizing prude, and you're not convincing me that a man whose actions put his wife into therapy in order to forgive him is worthy of a vote.
Thanks, for the education it's been fun.
