Read this article. Does it make you angry? Or sad? I don't even know how to treat this subject. Women: Is it worse to think your husband left you for another man? Men: how about your wife leaving for another woman? I have no experience in this arena, but I'm seriously thinking about inviting this author on my radio show.

My heart goes out to all involved, especially their daughter. I do know what a controlling almost-ex-husband can be like, and I really think this is just so very, very difficult.

Men or women, gay or straight, it's just about treating your partner like A PERSON, not a rag doll to throw out when you are done with him/her!

McGreevey's Wife Tells All in New Book
By Associated Press
4/22/07

TRENTON, N.J. - The wife of former Gov. James E. McGreevey describes him in her upcoming memoir as self-absorbed and controlling and says that, among other demands, he insisted she move out of the governor's mansion before his official resignation.

The descriptions appear in Dina Matos McGreevey's book "Silent Partner: A Memoir of My Marriage," scheduled to hit bookstores May 1. A copy of the book was obtained by the New York Daily News.

Matos McGreevey wrote that her husband offered only an indifferent apology days after he appeared on national television in August 2004 and announced he would resign, saying: "I am a gay American."

Before that appearance, she wrote that McGreevey told her to compose herself, saying, "You have to be Jackie Kennedy today," and repeatedly told her what to say and how to act in the aftermath of his admission.
