Who else think cheating politicians wives standing by their side at the podium make women look stupid?
Even when Bill Clinton cheated on Hillary Clinton, she was always at his side on the podium. Now, with this type Spiztcher cheated on his wife with a call girl. Yet, she still stood by his side on the podium while apoligized for his actions. Am I alone in thinking what do women look like idiots for standing by their cheating husbands when they should have to face the shame alone?
I agree that it makes women look pathetic, but you have to consider that Spiztcher is worth around 500 million dollars. Do you think his wife really wants to walk away from that with her three kids?
She should though, she has a Harvard law degree so she could definitely support herself. He doesn’t deserve her presence.
They ain’t dumb…Hillary stayed cos she needed the public boost so she could attempt to become president for the yanks.
All the others stay for the money, they secretly think they’re husbands are morons…but the money’s good.
They do it for many reasons: money, security, kids, glamour, status and plain old love. I don’t agree with anyone cheating, husband or wife, but people make mistakes. Some bigger than others. I think if she really loves her husband and forgives him for his infidelity, then more power to them. I wish them well. Infidelity in a marriage is difficult to get through. I know from personal experience. My marriage didn’t make it. I hope it works out for them regardless of what the media and public feel about their situation. They are the only two who can decide to work it out. Saying marriage takes work is the understatement of the century…and he just made it twice as hard.
I actually have mixed opinons about this one:
1. Men are sexually weak, and I think all presidents screw around and give into temptation. Some just don’t get caught. When a man doesn’t care enough about his marriage, then I don’t expect the wife to, either – especially if she can put up with his garbage long enough to profit from the marriage.
2. I also wonder why any woman would stand by a cheater. Especially a cheater who spent tens of thousands of $$$$ to go out of his way for sex. I would not want to be the laughing stock beside that kind of a cheater.
If the guys did not have so much $$$$$ (and ultimately so much power), these women wouldn’t have anything to do with them in the first place. A poor guy acting in such a fashion would be left on his own.
They are probably just as shallow as their husbands,
I wouldn’t stand by his side. I’d be pissed as hell and wouldn’t want to see him.
Things will be changing in the next decade, I can almost promise it.
And you’re right to a degree. I wouldn’t say it makes them look “stupid” but it does make them look like they’re ok with being walked all over and maybe some are.
I agree with Snarky.
oh oh oh, I do I do. For the life of me I don’t understand it. Since when are you strong for letting someone treat you like crap. Oh and I do believe she knew that her husband was cheating on her before this scandal broke out. It takes a real woman to not allow anyone to disrespect her.
As a feminist, I respect both a man and woman’s choice on what they want to do about their relationship: continue it, discontinue it, or work on it. It’s not up to me to judge other men and women and tell them how they should live… I don’t tell men and women how many kids to have, or if they should use contraception, or who they should sleep with.
The easy thing to do is cut and run, the hard thing is to stay and face the public, and try to work things out for the sake of your family. I think it’s disgusting that these women are being criticized for not running away and doing the easy thing. I also think it’s nasty how people are mocking these women and saying the only reason a woman would stay with a cheater is for money or status or power. Maybe the women are in shock, they aren’t going to rush out and end a long-term relationship without figuring out what to do next, and they may actually have feelings for their partner! Not everyone breaks up when a partner is unfaithful. That’s such a simplistic attitude. The women and their families in these cases are the victims, yet they’re being trashed for not running away. If they did run, I’m sure they’d be called selfish irresponsible witches.
Well to give the women their due, they’re in SHOCK and no fit state to make a major decision, like whether to stand by him or not. A good kick, though. . . . . And they always look rather sick and unhappy. Heard discussion on it today on NPR, by ex wife of NJ gov who said she did it so her daughter wouldn’t say, it was the worst day of my father’s life and you weren’t there.
Personally I don’t see it. But probably have to BE there (in that situation), and probably all HIS advisors are saying you HAVE to be there.
And I bet you wouldn’t see a man there in the same situation?!
