LoveWins - my apologies. I'm happy that you're a happily married woman. I don't think too many women believe they have their husband trapped just because they have children. Most women who are mothers take their role very seriously and their marriage as a commitment on the parts of both husband and wife as father and mother. You didn't state how long you've been married or if you have children (they are not "kids"). Good for you for being able shower, re-do your make-up and look like a million dollars for your husband when he gets home from work. Some of don't have that luxury. We have children who also need some attention and we have a "family" and enjoy doing things as a family in the evenings and on weekends. My husband still adores me and tells me I'm beautiful after almost 24 years of marriage and three children, even though my make-up may not be perfect at 5:00 in the afternoon, and I don't have time or the money to go to the gym every day, get cosmetic upgrades, or whatever to look like I did 24 years ago. I keep myself looking good for myself, first of all. Not for anyone else, including my husband. If I look good for myself, I'll look good for him. The outward appearance is not always what is important. If you believe you have to make sure you are model-ready and willing when your husband comes home each day, what will your husband do if the day comes when you aren't? You sound like you have little self-respect. Your husband has taken it all away.

I thought it was VIRGINIA that was for lovers, not South Carolina! In any event, it's easy to confuse Appalachia with Argentina...they both have vast expanses of unexplored wilderness, like Sanford's soul. Here, this is a good lesson: http://www.zazzle.com/south_carolina_gov_mark_sanford_shirt-235949377168700857

Love Wins.. you are an idiot...
lets hope the relations you have with your husband last forever and he never has the need to look elsewhere for what you arent giving him at home..
4 sons and a woman by your side does not equal public humilation. whether you are getting love at home or not.Its a matter of respect. And now the tears and apologies start..
please...

Well, just because his wife told him to leave does not give him a license to cheat! bottom line. The flesh can be weak, and in his case it was. He should have taken that time to figure out what can he do to help get his marriage back on the right track. This just disgusts me! we give men so many excuses...it's ridiculous! they need to buck up, be a man and take responsibility for heavens sake.

Based on the comments from some of the women who posted on this site, I can see why your men would stray. Your bitterness and nastiness come through in writing, and I am sure it isn't any better in person. Respect people for being human and provide love and understanding. Mrs. Sanford threw out a threat to her husband and he reacted. She is upset because he seeked love? I imagine she married him because he was loving. His emails seem to reflect love more so than lust. When communication is cut, everything is lost.

This is only part of the emails though.. they have all of the emails downloadable over at http://jjpeg.com/file2018451.html if you want to see them, but WARNING: they're *really* cheesy haha.. they also have a video of Governor Sanford with the mistress last year at a gala (not holding hands or anything but together nonetheless) over at http://jjpeg.com/watch28015.htmlif anyone wants to see what she looks like
June 25th, 2009 11:46 AM
Lovewins - wasn't he seeing the other woman BEFORE his wife told him to leave? AND It does take both partners to make a RESPECTFUL relationship. I'm not having sex just to keep my man home, because if that's all our marriage is, HE can leave now! Sure men like sex, but so do I. But I also want love, respect and devotion.
June 25th, 2009 11:59 AM
Bottom Line. His wife is part of the multimillion dollar SKIL power tool empire. I would leave him in a heartbeat and go get myself a much younger man that looks even better on my arm.
June 25th, 2009 12:01 PM
I totally GET him and how much he loves Maria. Trust me, it CAN happen. I feel so sorry for him with the release of these very private emails. He loves her. So yeah, he's married and it is completely wrong to cheat. No matter how the wife spins it, there was something lacking at home that he had emotionally found with Maria FIRST before the sex. My heart goes out to him for allowing it to happen, but I am on HIS side. Yes, it's completely wrong, but you love whom you connect with. You just DO. He will honor the promise to his wife, but trust me, his heart belongs to Maria.

After being married to two cheaters....I can tell you it has nothing to do with who you are as a wife/mother. It has to do with who the man is and what his values are [or are not!]. I realize men seem to be more tempted with lust than women. It is a fact of life. This still does not give a man the license to cheat. It's all in where your values reside. I am a very attractive female who kept her looks well cared for, stood behind her husbands and was very kind and always there for them. It made no difference. True love values the other's feelings and takes those into consideration. Lust is a strong hold that usually takes most people over. I am not bitter...nor a man hater, but I sure do feel for the wife because this shatters a woman. May God stand behind her...and He will because any way you word it....cheating is cheating.

Hi LoveWins:
That's great you love you husband. Would it be o.k. to kiss your bare shoulders? No one else has to know ;^)
June 25th, 2009 12:29 PM
How dare you blame the innocent party in this fiasco! If it had been Mrs. Sanford who had an affair, I am sure she would get no sympathy at all.
June 25th, 2009 12:44 PM
JUST THE TRUTH: I'LL BET THE TRUTH WOULD BE A REVALATION FOR YOU GIRL. THE FACT IS ITS WOMEN WITH THIS KIND OF BELIEFS AND THINKING THAT SEND GUYS HUNTING. IF YOU COULD BEQUIET LONG ENOUGH TO LISTEN YOUR MAN IF YOU HAD ONE WOULD TELL YOU HE GOT MORE IN THE 8TH GRADE THAN YOU HAVE SUPPLIED IN THE LAST 10 YEARS

Men and women cheat because they, THEY, choose to do so. It is a choice. No one makes a person cheat...they choose that behavior. Infidelity happens in happy marriages and unhappy marriages. All it takes is opportunity, lack of boundaries and a whole lot of selfishness. And if the cheater, the other woman or even the nosy bystander wants to point the finger at the wife, let's just remember she was in the same marriage as her husband and I wonder just what all HE was doing to nurture a loving marriage. I wonder exactly how much HE confided in his wife about his unhappiness. There is always 2 sides to a story.
lovewins...I think it is quite laughable that you lump Mrs. Sanford in the same category as Kate Gosselin. While one has done her very best to keep this matter private with dignity and grace, the other has shouted it from the roof tops and to anyone who will listen. You don't have a clue what has gone on in the Sanford marriage. The fact that Mrs. Sanford asked her husband to move out, I would be questioning what HE did or was doing to merit this request especially given his idiotic, self-centered behavior over the past week.
And just in case you are wondering, or assuming yet again, I have not been betrayed in my 18 year marriage. I am just not naive enough or self-righteous enough to persume I know what has gone on in someone else's marriage.

Once an affair starts it is hard to stop it, so why start it? I feel sorry for the whole family because something like this destroys the family, and everyone is hurt. Where is the shame?

LoveWins -- your comments were fascinating. Funny thing -- first I thought you were a man, and I was miffed by your first posting. But then when I read all of your postings, I understood your position more fully, and I understood what you were trying to say. I would add to all of this: Each of us in a marriage, man and woman, needs to keep the romantic spark going. I would add to women -- don't get fat, stay in shape, and do keep yourself trim. Furthermore, read the book "French Women Don't Get Fat." I would add to men -- show your woman your love daily with words and actions. LoveWins does see some broad truths in human nature. They are facts. Readers, learn from LoveWIns instead of screeching.

Here in Europe these guys know that politicians are the bottom of the barrel. If they were such hot shit they'd have honest jobs. Europeans know that a politician lies, he cheats, has affairs, dirty business dealing and take bribes for big business. At least the dude wasn't trying to screw Sarah Palin or one of her daughters (knocked up or not)! One of the main things to look out for is some jerk waving the "I'm a christian" banner. What a loser!!!
June 25th, 2009 3:45 PM
The big hypocrite! This bum could be all over Bill Clinton, but now does the same things. He should resign in total disgrace. Oh, I'm sorry, he's a southern right-wing born again follower of Cheney and Rove so he can do no wrong. Yeah, Right.
June 25th, 2009 4:29 PM
it is just sickening, what he has done to his wife and boys! then in the emails, he MENTIONS his wife by name and quotes bible verses about "love"??? The final insult is that he says he didn't need love 15 years ago (e.g. the start of his political career) but DOES need it now? I feel so sorry for his younger than 15 year old boys who are now told they were conceived without any love!!! My spouse cheated 2x, but we've been able to move on. It is just horrendous!
June 25th, 2009 7:11 PM
You make it seem like it's the wife's fault he went out and did this. Stop blaming the victim. What kind of man would do so recklessly put his children under this kind of stress? He's just a selfish, immature guy. LoveWins, stop being an apologist for this man. I'm starting to wonder if maybe your current husband was once a cheater, you got him, and so now you defend Sanford?
June 25th, 2009 7:50 PM
The affair that Mark Sanford has been having in my opinion started 8 years ago, not just when he started having sexual relations with this woman. It was an affair of the heart!! That would almost be worse for me to accept that if he'd gone off with a prostitute. He fell in love with this woman. They were sharing things that he should have been sharing with his wife. Married men should NOT be communicating with other women on that level unless their wives know ALL about it. I'm not his judge or jury and I know God has already forgiven him so so do I. I will pray that he and his family will get through this somehow for the sake of those 4 beautiful boys.
June 25th, 2009 8:39 PM
Instead of condemning this man, you, especially LoveWins, are blaming the wife! Outrageous! You know NOTHING about their marital life, but hey, let's blame the wife, right?
Since LoveWins (LW) makes assumptions about people she doesn't know, I'm going to do the same with LW. I'm going to assume that LW is merely a trophy wife and has nothing else to offer to the relationship, which is why she speaks the way that she does. Most women I know are career-oriented AND run the house AND realize sex is just ONE component of a marriage and not all of it.
June 25th, 2009 9:51 PM
"Just the truth," when a hetersexual man cheats, he cheats with a woman. Sounds like women cheat, too.
June 25th, 2009 10:05 PM
It appears that many of you are blaming his wife. I guess it was Hillary's fault....also Jackie Kennedy's fault...etc. Get your heads out of the sand. Don't insult the poor wife. She has done nothing wrong. He and his mistress are the guilty parties. Forbidden sex in an exotic setting is so much more exciting than a roll in the hay with the mother of your four children.
