Good for her. Or as my Grandmother would say "Good riddance to bad rubbish"

I feel so badly for Jenny. He totally destroyed her heart. I saw her in the Barbara Walters inteview and she was totally defensive but she had tears in her eyes.

Maybe he did and maybe he didn't. After such a breach of trust, her trust in him may just be so irrepairably shattered that no amount of "fighting" on his behalf would have helped.

He has been an embarrassment to the state of SC. I do admire her though. She didn't stand by him and try to cover up for him. She did what was best for her family not her husbands political career.

That's true. Especially since, in public, he apologized to his mistress before his wife.

When your husband tells the whole world that another woman is his 'soul mate' I don't see how the marriage could ever be repaired. JMO

I agree with the "good for her". She sounds like an amazingly intelligent woman.

Agree. I couldn't get past that either.

Yup yup. I've been in her shoes, and no amount of grovelling or fighting was going to fix what he'd done.

Wonder if he's going to go running to Miss Argentina now. I wish I could tell Mark Sanford that when a woman gets between his wife and kids, she doesn't really love him. We've seen it a million times. It just proves that they both (Mark and lover) don't respect what should have been sacred.

Well, it sounds like they both deserve each other!

Good for her. I'm sure it was hard, but I really think she did the best thing for herself & her kids.

Yes--good for her
Maybe some other women will have the courage to follow in her foot steps. Too many men get away with their actions when the wives 'stand by their man'---they don't deserve it.

I believe infidelity in a marriage can be survived successfully and can make a marriage better. But only if both spouses work on it and make the effort. Standing by your man is not bad, if he proves himself worthy of being stood by.

Sure. My parents marriage survived a stint that makes Tiger Woods look like an amateur. Took a lot of hard work on both their parts. I believe they are stronger now than ever, but it wasn't easy.

IMO, the minute he cheats he proves himself unworthy.
