In reply to the discussion: Go to hell in a hand basket Weiner... [View all]VanillaRhapsody
(21,115 posts)150. I agree with you BUT!
it's their marriage and we don't know what THEIR rules of engagement are? They could both be sexting for all we know....perhaps she knew and looked the other way. He didn't actually have sex with anyone....perhaps she didn't consider that cheating...We don't know what the situation is. All we know is the person that knows him best has said she forgives him......
