http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/12/opinion/12mcgreevey.htmlI hope Silda dumps Eliot fast and gets her own career going again. But I can see where in just a matter of hours of knowing about this, she may have not wanted to make an absolute decision yet. Maybe it's easier to stand quietly and go through the motions for a while than make statements or disappear and have the press hunting you down.
And she gave him some pretty tough looks in those press conferences which spoke volumes. She hasn't been going around saying how much she loves him or anything - more of a silent witness to all of this. It also makes it clear that this is about HER pain as much as HIS career.
