    I just realized that Mark Sanford must be an alien. Who wipes tears away from their eyes like that? Unless they're some sort of special "cheating on my wife was a lot of fun but this is super hard" tears. I'm guessing the latter. #cheating

    In a way that seems more dignified than our form of punishment, letting the media get their cat o' nine tails after them.

    What have I learned from Jenny Sanford? That some people just don't know when to quit. Oh... and never marry an ambitious politician with a massive ego and tiny...er... state.

    i really want to see the next "wronged political wife" say to the media, "he's a self-righteous douchebag" as explanation for their husband's affair. then follow that up with a guest spot on Ellen, and a romp through europe with bradley cooper.

    This piece is pretty blah but I think Jenny Stanford handled this whole thing in the best possible way. She tried to save her marriage but when she realized it wasn't possible she pretty much decided it was his problem. She has genuine grace and self-confidence.

    I see a bit of my mom in Jenny Sanford. My mom went through a shitty marriage for 20 years, but said she would do it all again because she got two good kids out of the deal. Although really, what else could she say? "I would have aborted you to get away from that asshole."

    But she also doesn't expect me to define my life through kids. She's even fine if I only give her grandkitties.

    @lalaland13: There is a big, big space between "I would have aborted you" and "I stayed in a shitty marriage for 20 years". Like, I'm going to divorce this jerk and raise my children in a happy environment.

    Smart, or smart and ambitious? Let's face it, she thought she was living the dream here. Found a powerful man, assisted him, perhaps with a belief her career in politics would eventually follow and then finds out that he never loved her. She's trying to see through the alternate lenses of objectivity (the politician's ego problem) and religion (counseling tells me it's just an addiction).

    I wouldn't call it grace, exactly, but I do think she has at least preserved a little dignity. And for that I am thankful.

    @Wannabeer: The dream is a powerful man who might eventually get you a career in politics? Is that because she's a woman or because she's the governor's wife because I wouldn't say that's the dream.

    @clevernamehere: Good point -- I meant that it was her dream. And my basis for that speculative conclusion is admittedly what I have read elsewhere about her being a kind of educated GOP rightist Christian. A woman like that might genuinely accept that her career would have to be, initially, on the sidelines while her husband prospered and her children were raised. Then, when all was right with the world, she could have her own.

    Sanford isn't the first politician to get addicted to something from South America that feels awesome at first but eventually becomes soul-sucking.

    I took something different from her remark about his obsession with his affair. My sister was in a terrible relationship - no abuse, but NOT a healthy one. It made her miserable probably half the time. It was totally out of character. Afterward her therapist told her the relationship was like an addiction because she was addicted to the way he made her feel, the drama, whatever. I get that with Sanford - the affair probably made him feel virile, young, etc. I don't think it was just about sex.

    "Instead, the greatest legacy I will leave in this world is the character of the children I, or we, leave behind."

    She's repeated the thing about the character of her children multiple times since the affair became public knowledge. And the more I hear it, the more I sense she's needling her husband for his obvious and now public character flaws. As if to say, my kids will not be the same.

    Midlife aging is different for narcissistic types than for people who don't need to be continually validated externally. Mark is worried about what his next job is. He worries about making money, running for office again, his legacy. I know my legacy is my children. I don't worry about that.

    Fixed.
