no one knows what goes on in a a marriage but those two people, everything else is judgement and speculation.

i have heard more than once of the wife insisting the husband move on when they are ill or dying. impending death does a lot of things to people´s minds....

"Edwards started having an affair in 2006. Elizabeth's cancer didn't come back until spring 2007. The affair had nothing to do with her cancer. He's just a douche."

Yup, just a good old garden variety douche. What an idiot. Knows he wants to run for president and has an affair anyway. Besides his wife, what a slap in the face to his staff and supporters. I used to like him. Not anymore.

I don't get the argument that it's understandable for someone to cheat when they find out their significant other has a deadly disease. I don't understand the impulse either, but an impulse is just that -- it doesn't have to be acted on. Besides, how goddamn self-centered is it to think, "Oh, my life has been turned upside-down, my spouse might die so I better go fuck somebody else" when the ill spouse is truly the one whose world has been turned upside down.

My dad cheated on my mom when I was 4; they divorced when I was 5. I have absolutely no tolerance for cheating, for any reason.

And these are people who stand up and proclaim the...

2008-09-18T18:09:00.000-07:00

And these are people who stand up and proclaim they're the best people to run our country. Sickening. I hope Elizabeth Edwards pulls through and dumps his sorry ass. She deserves better -- and so do their kids.

2008-09-18T17:05:00.000-07:00

"They have the nerve to complain about women being irrational and having PMS."

My friend's ex-husband used to furiously accuse her of being a jealous shrew for asking him if he was having an affair with a co-worker. During their divorce she was cleaning out their house and found out he had fathered a child with the woman years ago. Scum!

2008-09-18T15:59:00.000-07:00

Elizabeth Edwards knew about the affair as far back as 2006.

I knew someone whose husband abandoned her when she had breast cancer, but at least she was able to live out that last year knowing it was over and she could get on with the little time she had left.

He is a terrible slime and I knew it the second I ...

2008-09-18T15:57:00.000-07:00

He is a terrible slime and I knew it the second I saw him. I hope Elizabeth pulls through by some miracle and makes his life a living hell.

I am SICK AND TIRED of people making excuses for why men cheat. Oh they don't feel appreciated, blah blah blah. Fuck that. They have the nerve to complain about women being irrational and having PMS. How irrational and hormone-driven are THEY? Oh, they just couldn't help themselves.

Please.

2008-09-18T14:03:00.000-07:00

Oh, and by the way how sick also is the women who had the affair- speaking of how they would be together when she was gone and telling people EE gave off negative energy. Um, maybe cause she sensed you were effing her husband. Both these sociopaths deserve each other.

2008-09-18T13:58:00.000-07:00

I kind of get the feeling he would have cheated even if Elizabeth was not ill.

2008-09-18T13:51:00.000-07:00

JE doesn't deserve his wife. He's a selfish bastard.
I agree with Sylvia - CASTRATION!

I hope that EE can get through this difficult time with the love of her children and extended family. Even with all the drama surrounding her she is helping others by speaking out on health care reform. She made an appearance on Stand Up to Cancer with Lance Armstrong the other week too.

2008-09-18T13:47:00.000-07:00

daniel, i do get what you're saying...that in time of grief when you're world is upended you don't always make rational decisions. but i will always be on the side of the one scorned, particularly if she's suffered already w something like cancer. she could have cheated on him when their son died or when she was diagnosed, but she went above and beyond for him and he should have done the same for her.

2008-09-18T13:42:00.000-07:00

Mooshiki - No, criticize all you want I was just bringing up the fact that it may be misguided to judge what goes on in people heads during traumatic times since people that are in them rarely make level-headed decisions. Like I said before about when they thought she was going to die all rules kind of get thrown out the window (not because it's convenient but because people act out in different ways in traumatic times). Of course that all goes out the window if Paisley is right about the timeline. However anything that occurs after she recovers then he deserves all the slings and arrows one can provide.

What Ent and I differ on is the point that I feel that it is more forgivable when you are facing the loss of your spouse because you are reeling and just looking to hold on to anything (some people drink and some people go into darker waters), and he feels it is more forgivable if you are out on the town with friends and you see someone attractive and decide to cheat on your significant other based on that scenario.

As for Kris - I was just having a dialogue with people who were responding to me, so don't take it personal when I question your logic the way you questioned mine. Because you seemed to get offended by my words when I was attempting to state my point in response to your critique(in a friendly way, perhaps it came out wrong) I will just use your words to refute you. - "he's selfish and self centered. He should have thought of his wife, not himself." &
"Don't assume to know things about people."

2008-09-18T13:19:00.000-07:00

When Edwards gave his interview after the affair came out, he said that it happened while his wife was in remission (as if that made it better). Not on her deathbed.

Regardless, he's a self-serving creep and I hope he shuffles back to relative anonymity.

Bless you, Enty....a man with scruples!

2008-09-18T13:11:00.001-07:00

Daniel, please. He is soooo selfish and she is so unselfish. He continued to run for vice president when she found out she had cancer and then when it returned more seriously his campaign for presidency 4 years later forged on.That told me enough of his character. When your that sick you want your life partner with you in your final days not campaigning all over the country. Adding salt to the wound he got his tramp pregnant. Where is her peace? My heart breaks for this women who not only is facing death but that the man she shared her life with only loves himself.

2008-09-18T13:11:00.000-07:00

jj: I totally agree with you... Although most men are NOT this outrageously self-absorbed (thank God), there is a certain type of man who WILL behave this way if/when his wife becomes ill...and being famous/rich is NOT a prerequisite! Some just LEAVE their sick wives altogether - just when they need them the most. Personally, I don't buy into the psychobabble as to WHY these men do it, I just know they DO... I've seen this type "in action," and it's a wrenchingly painful thing to watch. In fact, I'd probably NEVER MARRY if I hadn't also known/witnessed many men who behaved downright heroically/selflessly under the exact same circumstances. (Total SWEETHEARTS.)

Too bad men don't come with a bar code on their forehead to let you know which is which. :0

Oh... I was about to mention ANOTHER politician who's already proved himself to be the "leave the sick/loyal wife" type, but that would be, ahem, inappropriate for this venue. :)

2008-09-18T13:01:00.000-07:00

But, in my mind there does not seem to be anything lower or more disgusting than doing something like that to the woman you have spent your life with, who gave birth to your children, and who has always been your biggest supporter while she is trying to fight for her life.

One of the women who gave birth to your children....

(Allegedly, of course.....)
