South Carolina governor, John Sanford, who supposedly was on a trip to the Appalachians but could not be found, surfaced and admitted that he was crying for 5 days in Buenos Aires at the prospect of the end of his friendship-turned-affair and return home to his wife and family. Well, don't cry for me, Argentina!!
I am SO sick of this story - Bill Clinton looks into a camera and says he did not have sex with that woman, Miss Lewinsky, and lies. John Edwards cheats and lies. Newt Gingrich, JFK, Kwame Kilpatrick, Eliot Spitzer, to name a FEW of the politicians who are lying cheaters and who are so VERY apologetic after they get caught. I admit to wondering if they are sorry-sorry, or sorry they got caught.
Governor Sanford's story made me laugh out loud, so much so that I choked on my tea. It made me laugh because my Spousal Unit did the same thing, albeit it was a woman from another South American country. He never would have admitted it if I hadn't found emails between the two. Then came the 'it was nothing' explanation followed by the "I thought it would make me feel better" line. (He said it didn't.)
The sense of entitlement baffles me. Marriages have hills and valleys, in fact I remember the 'for better of worse' part of the vows. I know for a fact that there were times when I wanted out, as I know he did. But I took that vow seriously and tried to work out communication problems. He said, and I quote, "I don't think getting help will help." Wait, let me needlepoint that on a pillow. Why not, if one is so unhappy, speak up, try counseling, or if not that, step out of the marriage, and THEN go have your little affair. Why does it always have to be cheating? And then lying, followed by the truth and the pitiful crying? Is this a genetic male thing? God really knew what He was doing when he gave me daughters!!
