| Why Do Disgraced Politicians' Wives Stand by their Side?
Posted: 9/17/2009 4:58:04 PM | Hillary still stayed with Slick Willie despite affairs with Paula Jones, Jennifer Flowers, and Monica Lewinsky. If she was an unknown, an average citizen, people would think "She's hanging in there? Where is her self respect?" They may think that about Hillary, but they also must realize she is staying to benefit her own political career. But behind closed doors in private, God only knows what she must have said to him.  | |

Posted: 9/17/2009 5:14:33 PM | [qoute]Can anyone explain to me the need or benefits or reasoning behind why the wives are dragged (or voluntarily appear) before the cameras?
Who said they drag their wives anywhere? Seems to me that most people have the option on how they wish to handle that which they face.
He created the mess on his own ....so why get (wife) involved. As far as I know, the wives don't make any impact on the outcome...these guys usually gets kicked out of office regardless.
LOL !! Wide Stance Craig didn't get kicked out of office. That would never happen here in Idaho. No one acknowledges that he is and has always been gay and that his marriage is and has always been one of convenience, but no one was going to kick him out of anything. That would have meant those who voted for him overlooked the obvious. (Not many get kicked out of office for indiscretions, that's a silly statement if you look historically at political figures in the US.) JMO | |

Posted: 9/17/2009 8:43:39 PM | why should they leave?
what would leaving do for them when they have everything they want?
in the beginning they appear hurt, betrayed and all that other good stuff but they're determined to get past it and they stay with him and punish him everyday.
you don't think they don't have some knock-down drag-out fights...
they're human, their just like any other american married couple but their richer for the most part and have servants, good schools for their kids, the best automobiles, drivers, hair stylists, people that design their clothes, bank accounts and shop wherever and whenever they want in the most exclusive stores ever ever ever...
i wouldn't leave either just because he stuck his d*ck in some dumb bit*h because look who ends up with it all in the end anyway.
it's the perfect way of shoving it in the whores face that she didn't get the man and the wife looks like the victim, the saint...
so really, i think it's a combination of a whole lot of stuff that she stands by her man.
women are like that ya know. | |

i'm not saying that they're right in what they do...
i'm just saying that people walk around everyday with the attitude that they don't care what anyone else thinks, they're going to do what they want to do anyway.
people always put on that front that they don't care what anyone says or how much they stare or are ridiculed....but it doesn't stop the fact that they're dying inside from they pain of it all.
people are motivated by many many things like fear, anger, betrayal, hatred, jealousy and a whole host of other reasons.
these things are great motivators as many times when something like this which is embarrassing and humiliating happens they react the only way they know how while others react the way they do because they have an agenda.
sometimes the wife has an inkling of what's going on and maybe by this becoming public, the burden is lifted off of her and now she's not the only one that knows and she no longer has to suspect anymore.
not just women but men as well do some weird stuff but then again, we're not in their shoes. | |

My sentiments exactly. The politics will go on as usual with or without the faithful lapdog by his side. Totally insulting to the public they want to impress to use this maneuver; like you Verity, I think less, not more, of both of them.
One woman who refused to do this was Giuliani’s wife when he began an affair while he was mayor of NYC; hell, Mrs. Giuliani would not even move out of the Mayoral Mansion……he had to leave. I just find it sad that people want others to display their personal problems publicly. Reeks of drama mongering...
Then again, I'm not fond of soap operas or slag mags either... but they're billion dollar industries so someone must be captivated by them. | |

Posted: 10/27/2009 3:56:02 PM | It is for political reasons why they stand their man.
1. It looks better politically if the wife stnads by him and forgives him.
2. It gives the politicians' wives more power.
3.A divorced politician wife would have to live a lower standard of life styles and all the glamour, dinners, parties, celeberties, extra money, gifts would be taken away form these women.
4.It is simple these women choose greed over principal , but that is the Washington lifestyle. | |

Posted: 10/27/2009 4:52:55 PM | Once someone has cheeted on me, that's basically it. I need to be able to trust the love of my life completely and there's just no way to really recover that trust after that. There would always be reason to doubt. Don't forget that when you're dealing with public figures, you've only got whatever they themselves want you to see plus whatever the media can get its hands on. I doubt that this has been the whole and complete story in very many such cases. I would imagine that one way or another, they pay a substantial price for such loyalty behind the scenes. Some people are so genuinely in love with their partner that they are willing to cope with the damage. It is possible, though it must be exceeding hard, to truly forgive such actions. There's also inertia to consider. Looking back on things, I probably stayed in my marriage about a year and a half longer than I ought to have just hoping that things would somehow improve again. It seemed better to pursue the happiness we once knew rather than give up the ghost and face single life's lonely hours again. Presumeably, these women are having similar thoughts. We're creatures of habit after all.
Add to that the shere sense of duty contained in any marriage seriously undertaken. To walk away from such a commitment, rather than sticking it out until death did us part, is a very hard thing to contemplate as it should be. A marriage is one of the most earnest commitments one can make and ought not to be easily tossed aside. In doing so, we have to face the horrid truth that we were ultimately wrong in one of life's most important choices. We have to publically admit that we were ultimately not strong, resourceful, rezilliant, loving enough to stay the corse we set for ourselves often despite the objections of those who we know best. Any way you slice it, that's a damned hard admition to make and a damned hard truth to come to grips with. The journey, if undertaken earnestly, changes the soul. I like to think that it has ultimately changed me for the better. I doubt that there would have been any other way in which an incureablely optimistic man like me could have so thoroughly faced the fact that we all ultimately have limitations of patience, compassion, optimism, and even love which sadly doesn't conquer all. As that final line in Coleridge's poem goes, I was left a sadder wiser man. I'm still very much hopeful that this wisdom will aid me in building a better relationship presuming God steers some special woman my way. However, there's a little less room left in me for the idealistic hope I once knew. Even when one feels there's no choice but to jump into the abiss of ending a marriage, it must still be a daunting prospect. I don't wonder that in such circumstances, particularly under public screwteny, one would hesitate and take stock before taking irrepreable action. | |

Well said hon, whether it be a politician or a Joe Blow or Josephine,as it's called ego,power and arm candy.
These relationships are built for the everything but not love of the true person,
only their bells and whistles. The substance in him and her is superficial and the act they both show.
And if one gets called on the rug, when the the show is over. Sound familiar? | |
