Oh Silda, I know it's of little consolation, but the Hermes scarf was just lovely.

If my husband banged $4000 prossies, he would need a pair of prosthetic balls after I was done with him.
That being said, has anyone around here ever divorced or been a child of divorce? It's not as simple as tossing her teenaged daughters in a LV suitcase and heading for the Ritz. She seems to make informed, careful decisions based on what is best for her and her girls. My mom has had more divorces than I have stretch marks, and it's only strengthened my resolve not to do that shizz unless 100% necessary.
If she divorces him, she's gonna think about it and do it right, not start throwing his personal possessions out the window like a crazy person. I'm sure many people are angry to be denied their right to watch her flip the fuck out, and I'm just as sure that, when the cameras are gone, that's exactly what she's doing.

Look, if you're a guy like Spitzer, you're surrounded at all times by upper-class women. I think the fact that she was kind of trashy was the point. He wanted to bang some hot, trashy, young ass. Really not much more complicated than that.

In France he'd only have to quit if he were cheating on his hooker.
France OK: Wife --> Mistress --> Regular Hooker
France not OK: Wife --> Mistress --> Regular Hooker ---> Hooker

Before Spitz, in law school, Silda was married to some other guy. The marriage lasted 29 days. I'm in flyover country, and I can smell the burning rubber from here.

As my dyke roommate (from Chicago) asks "Is DC pussy so bad you got to import pussy from elsewhere?"

I think it's time for girls like Silda to have to read a "patients bill of rights" before they walk down that aisle. And maybe a new clause in the pre-nup about press conferences.

If there is any solution to global warming, it might be the stare of the political wife exemplified by the soon to be ex Mrs Spitzer.

Honestly, I wouldn't have shown up. There is NOTHING my husband could say or do that would convince me showing up would be the 'right' or 'best' thing to do. SCREW THAT. I would be at home (b/c I've already tossed his shit out on the street), lying in bed with a bottle of wine, crying and watching shitty daytime tv. And hoping public opinion forces him to escape to Amish country, where they may forgive him.
And maybe she did it for the kids. Who knows. But my mom stuck by my dad after his multiple affairs and it actually made me dislike her (the first time, I felt bad, but after that, christ). Maybe if anything the kids won't tolerate that shit in their relationships b/c they don't want to feel like their mom does.

I think it's so easy to judge women in this situation, but it's just so hard to know what is really going on there.

Abstract
One of the most reliable and perplexing findings from surveys of
sexual behavior is that men report substantially more sexual partners
than women do. We use data from national sex surveys and studies of
prostitutes and their clients in the United States to examine sampling
bias as an explanation for this disparity. We find that prostitute
women are underrepresented in the national surveys. Once their
undersampling and very high numbers of sexual partners are factored in,
the discrepancy disappears. Prostitution's role in the discrepancy is
not readily apparent because men are reluctant to acknowledge that
their reported partners include prostitutes. | |
