The Senators wife who said publically that if her husband did what Clinton did, she would not forgive, she would go Lorena Bobbitt on him.

Well surpise surprise! her husband was at that same time going to brothels in New Orleans, and now is a client of the DC Madam.

She was on TV today publically forgiving him.

He got his Senate seat preaching anti-gay, christian, abstancance and even got his seat by calling for another Senator to step down for a similar scandal

I don't understand this type of hypocracy

It just goes to show that you never know what you will do until Infidelity happens in your marriage. Like many here, I always said I would boot my husband out. Actually, I did on D-day, but then tried to save the marriage.

Also the man has 4 kids. His wife has a family to try to keep together. So that may be a big part of it.

Help me understand why you are here gloating about this woman's misfortune? Do you know how painful and traumatic adultery is?

How can you criticize her for the same, cruel thing YOU are doing?

Hopefully you can show this woman a little compassion. No one deserves to be a victim of adultery.

If I'm reading this right, you are wondering why she would say that she would do a Lorena Bobbit on him if he cheated. I saw where she also said something just staying around long enough for the alimony to kick in.

But that is what most women would say BEFORE adultery.
She is perfectly normal.

I'm sure he has apologized profusely, and she is just like the rest of us, wants to try to save the marriage.

I guess I was appalled by people like her and her husband back during the Clinton Scandal. I think I am more mad at her husband obviously. I don't wish this woman harm, but a part of me thinks they shouldn't have been throwing so many stones when they were living in a big glass house!

I am appalled that you would complain about her "lack of compassion" after you have gloated about her tragedy. What about your own lack of compassion?

Jeeze Mel, I have been reading on this sight for years, and I guess I feel like I know the people here well, even though you don't know me. I never expected that YOU would jump on the attack so strongly. I just noticed that when this type of story is in the news some one almost always comments, I noticed that this one didn't get the attention that the others have. I wondered if this sight was slightly partisan.

Don't know if I understand why you are taking this so hard Mel. News items like this that are good examples of infidelity are often brought up and discussed.

I didn't see the comment as gloating.

It's a common theme though. We say we'd never allow something like this to happen to ourselves... it happens... we react totally different than we thought we would.

This isn't a political website, but a marriage website. I doubt anyone gloated about it because that would be cruel and uncompassionate on a forum that focuses on adultery. I have no idea who she is, but if she is a victim of adultery, she does not deserve to be slimed.

Where is your "compassion" for her?

You are right sundog. Most people say they would kick a WS to the curb. Most don't.

It is very offensive to see anyone getting kicked while they are down for partisan political reasons. I might not have the same politics as Hillary Clinton but I would never kick her while she was down or gloat over her mistfortune.
