Cheating Men Again

I suspect I should soon change the name of my blog and focus just on cheating men. I also suspect that over time, the blog would become quite boring. Once again, in the past week, we have seen Anthony Weiner take the news stage. It appears that he, for some years, communicated with and tweeted young women on the computer. I guess all would have been okay, except that he shared intimate pictures of his genitalia with these women.

Today we learned that his wife, Huma Abedin, an assistant to Hilary Clinton, is pregnant. Mr. Weiner and his lovely bride have only been married a little over a year, yet he has been doing this behavior on the internet for at least three years. The interesting question now is, should his wife stay with him (complicated by her pregnancy) or should she dump his ass. Media has all kinds of opinions as do most of us women. She has been compared to many other wives of cheaters, including Hilary Clinton, who has stayed with her man. The jury is still out on whether Maria (you know, Arnold's wife) will stay in the marriage or bail. She is consulting a divorce lawyer so I might assume she is not "standing by her man."

I have very different feelings about the actions of Schwarzenegger and Edwards over the actions of Cong. Weiner. I guess because I believe that many married men use the internet and availability of strangers to carry on fantasies of one sort or another. Typically, if done in moderation, no one gets hurt. However, when you have married men having affairs with other women and bearing their children, well, they've stepped over the line in my humble opinion. What are these so called intelligent men thinking? And, not to use protection??? Come on folks, these idiots are not hot-to-trot teenagers.

Schwarzenegger and Edwards were dogs period. They were married to educated, intelligent and caring women. Schwarzenegger actually carried on with a valued member of his household staff and kept the lie going for over a decade! Could Maria ever trust such a liar and cheater again?
He has humiliated his wife and children and all his apologies shouldn't get him anywhere but out the door for good. Edwards fathered a child during the time that his wife was fighting a valiant battle with cancer. Unfortunately, Elizabeth Edwards lost her battle with no thanks to Edwards. Can you imagine a woman going through such stress at a time that she needed care and empathy?

Weiner has a chance to be rehabilitated. His actions are no different that a compulsive gambler except that he should of had more control and discretion. It is incredulous to me that men can think only about their penis, with their penis instead of their brains. A politician, no less.
One beautiful woman who came forward to incriminate Weiner asked him time and time again if he was really Cong. Weiner! His ego was so great that he was pleased to tell these women that he was actually a member of Congress. Stupidity at its highest level.

Therefore, I think Huma, particularly since she is pregnant, should give Weiner a chance to get help and prove that he is a man who can put his wife, family and career ahead of his man parts. He should be monitored like a child who can't go to x-rated websites. His actions should be a open book to his wife and his feelings should be transparent. If he can do this, I think the marriage has a chance. If he strays again, family or not, Huma Abedin should show him the door.
