I speak from someone who is walking in similar shoes as Mrs Spitzer.. unless you have been there you wont know what you will do.. you can think you will do one thing but its a complicated and heart rending issue that is not as easy as it would seem..even more so when you are caught completely off guard.
She is not a fool by doing what she thought is right at that moment at that time.. don't forget there are many there advising her.. there may be much more to her appearance then you know and likely a lot that has to do with her daughters.. it seems to me anyone who can easily throw more stones at someone who is already in the most diffcult time of their lives and hasnt been there is the foolish one...
Wise words, OpMe. I know you speak from the heart & certainly, your recent experience. I am saddened and truly sorry for the anguish & difficult times you & your family have experienced. Along with so many others - my prayers are with you over the long haul. :blowkiss:
I think we all agree that Silda Spitzer was dealt a nasty, devastating & life-changing blow by her arrogant selfish husband. I don't believe anyone here, or even in the media, is throwing stones at her. Far from it. Any stones being lobbed - or critical words are solely directed at the ex-governor -
not his wife. Our hearts go out to her & her daughters.
The question was actually more on the lines of .. do you think she may have known about her husband's sexual encounters/exploits prior to this breaking news story?
Some of us are just expressing our opinions on whether or not she may have had prior knowledge of his activities. Certainly not an indictment of her or how she is handling herself during this crisis in her life. Absolutely, she was shell-shocked & devastated. We could all clearly read the pain & anguish on her face.
Just askin' ...
Was it devastation that her loved & trusted husband of 20 yrs had betrayed her with high priced prostitutes and possibly exposed her to any number of STDs?
Or could it have been Silda's worst fear realized - the devastation that her hypocritical husband's illegal sexual exploits & secrets had been exposed to the world in the worst way possible - and they were about to lose the political life & considerable clout & perks that they'd both worked so hard to achieve?
Or - some combination of both as "his risky irrational behavior" had just detrimentally affected every member of the Spitzer family ..?
Certainly many other schools of thought to ponder. As the women Spitzer pursued were high priced no-strings prostitutes - there's also a very good chance his wife never knew or suspected anything regarding his secret life.
What are your thoughts?
