Elizabeth Edwards

john edwards is a slug.

Oh my gosh! I'm sure there's plenty we don't know--and plenty we wish we didn't know. No matter what demons she may have herself (we all do), in my book, the woman's GOT to be a saint.

Think she would have left him had he been elected President?

Blatant lies and lies by ommission - UGH!

Thanks for starting the thread. I saw her on the front of People. She looks amazing after all that she has been through.

I don't know how her cancer is doing. Do you? I might have to google that and see.

Boy John Edwards sure pulled the wool over a lot of folks who thought him such a "nice" guy. He's cooked - I hope it was all worth it to him. Very sad.

I saw a news clip on CNN that said Elizabeth Edwards was in remission. With all the stress she has endured, remission seems like a miracle. I pray she stays well and raises her two children away from John Dog. If she were to pass away, I shudder to think of John raising those kids with his mistrss. I am sure EE shudders as well.

What is with the current trend of sneaking around? It's become a sport not only with famous people but right here in our back yard. I am in the dating world and I have busted THREE guys in the last year who claimed to be free but were not.

FYI to the attached women out there: If you suspect something is fishy with your mate, trust your gut. He might have been sniffing at my door. Two of the men are local. Send me a message if you want names.

The elaborate tricks John Edwards used to keep his affair secret?and why they failed. :roll:

IMO, we knew he had lied, right? But, denying his child? The most egregious act.

Totally! :angry:

Can't remember where I saw it, but someone was totally taking him to task for that. It's one thing to deny an affair, but something COMPLETELY different to outright deny your child - and do it on video WHERE THE KID WILL SEE IT LATER!

No she would have stayed I think. I'm not sure she is the one wanting this separation. I see her as a woman who would do anything to keep her family intact.
I wish her strength as this must be overly painful to be in the headlines daily.

I think she had had it.

Elizabeth Edwards's Breaking Point - Elizabeth Edwards, John Edwards : People.com

I don't know how this man sleeps at night. What a piece of human waste. He has no shame. I pray that Elizabeth's cancer stays at bay for 20 or more years and she moves on to find joy. I feel so bad for his children.

He's certainly killed any political future he might have - you can spin and bounce back from a lot of things, but cheating on your wife when she has cancer and then instututing a major cover-up and publicly denying your own flesh and blood tend to stick w/ voters. :angry:

I saw an interesting interview with the staffer that he had asked by Edwards to say he was the baby daddy, and the staffer's wife- sorry I can't remember their names, but he just wrote the tell all book about the Edwards.

Anyway, according the them, Elizabeth wasn't too great herself. Of course this doesn't mean that John is any less of a jerk, but this isn't the first time that I have heard that she isn't a saint. It sounds like she may have been right there with him in the coverup to make sure they kept on that road to the White House.

Oh, I don't think she is a saint - just that he crossed some lines voters won't forget.

Yep, I was going to say this. I read an article in New York Mag about how she constantly berated and belittled him and his staff.

I heard a little of this, also. What a shame. I wish them all well!!

Another case where I hope the kids have a chance, despite their parents.

Of course she is not a saint. Who is? I have heard a lot of comments about her personal ambition. I don't know who would want to be in the public eye. My thoughts for her are heartfelt and I bet her perspective on life has changed. No one deserves the treatment she has had. He really makes me sick. For him to show up Haiti the other day. I think he did it to divert the news that was coming out that day about his aide and his tell all. Enough of that. Thanks for listening. He just really bothers me.

My take on him, is he is scum of the worst kind.

Mrs. Edwards, has lost a child, had a husband cheat on her and has cancer, I figure she gets a break on any bad behavior on her part.

I watched the 20/20 interview with Andrew Young the author of the tell all and I did not get the impression, Elizabeth knew the entire truth until recently. She was told he had a one night fling and the baby was Andrew's.

The only people talking much about what happened is Andrew Young and his wife and the mistress Rielle Hunter.

Well, I think we are all responsible for our actions.

agree.

I wish happiness to the entire family once the scandal dies down. it is going to take a while. John's character is seriously damaged - beyond repair politically and publicly, forever, so he gets everyting he deserves and more. Elizabeth's character is really not the issue here - its hardly fair to dissect her in order to understand him or his actions. and we hardly know anything about their private lives or the whole of the situation. I still wish them all a chance at real happiness in the future. John included. my what a tangled web some humans can weave. but we're all just human.

Completely agree.

Scum, chum, all the same. Infidelity is an epidemic and it is so sad and so many people are hurt so unnecessarily. Man up and deal with marital problems before you mess around and hurt your family beyond repair. It has become so common as I have said so many times, it is in our back yard too. Being single in your 40's is scary and the pool of potential dates is polluted with dishonesty. Woman up is needed as well. Wish this wasn't the case, truly I do.

The women that will knowingly date a man that is in a committed relationship should get a scarlet letter. It reminds me of Tiger Woods's mistresses and having their faces imprinted on golf balls and kavetching about it!!! Puleeze! You play, you pay. What were these women thinking?? $$$$$$$ I want a set of Ho Balls to kick around. Get me a set with Tiger too! Get me a set with Rielle Hunter!!! And if they can be imprinted locally, I have some suggestions.

Someone asked me if Psycho Ex cheated on me. I felt strongly that he didn't physically cheat on me; however, with the lies and lies by omission, he absolutely cheated on my heart and on us.....emotional cheating sometimes can reach deeper chords than sexual cheating.

There are many levels to cheating, dishonesty, etc. Then, his ridiculous projection of his issues. He's probably reading this.......I sincerely (and, selfishly) wish you well and while I was happy when you entered my life; I was elated when you left.
