The typical divorcee who feels that "entitlement" to be a stay at home home mom taking care of the kids being her only responsibility. Typical "loser" soccer mom type. Reality check....they should get divorced and the kids shouls go with the father, the parent who can actually support the childen, both emotionally and.....and..... financially. Let's get rid of these moms who's only experience is in babysitting. We (us dads) can do it all, we don't need any financial support, we can take care of our children emotionally, financially and socially. Get rid of the "deadbeat mom". -Kevin Dowd Plainsboro, NJ She was probably a rotten wife and thought of the kids and herself as the "family", excluding her husband.

If he were fooling around with any and every thing is one thing, loving another and saying publicly he is going to try to fall back in love with his wife , is a slap in the face to her ! Glad she is not all pained and pious next to his side but OMG , take him back into her life as a loving hubby is ridulous and just not possible . When I had to face a cheating husband privately , was bad enough and with one who had to gall to say "those women meant nothing to me , I love you " I just could not stand to look at him and even after 23 years feel nothing for him , no way can they get it back so do not even try!

Sure, he's the one that went outside the marriage and that's a sin, but she needs to do at least some self-analysis to see what she brought to the table. If the tone of this statement is representative of their personal life, I begin to understand why he was looking for warmth, affection, and some escapist fun.

She has been humiliated. How could she go ANYWHERE with him, without crude, funny, or hurtful remarks coming out? My only concern is for their 4 boys~~it's difficult when you find out that your dad loves another woman. It would be the same if the roles were reversed. However, children are resilient!! Jenny, neither YOU or Mark, are good role models right now. This is just my 50 cents worth. And who am I to judge??? Observations from one that is tired of all the hoopla on Mark Sandfor and Michael Jackson!!!

As the kid's say we're over it. Spend some time talking to each other not the press. Mrs. Sanford why do you want a man who readily admits his mistress is his "soul mate", is beyond me. How much clearer does he have to be, that you are second best? He is staying with you, if he stays, out of duty, NOT LOVE. Your boys can survive divorce better than a loveless marriage where the parents are at each other's throats, or walking on eggshells until the next Maria comes along. To Maria, just beware, the man who marries his mistress leave a job opening ! Both of you shut up already. As the kid's say we're over it. Spend some time talking to each other not the press.

His actions may not have been right in that he should have told his wife that he loves somebody else and go through the necessary steps to resolve the marriage. To quote the bible in trying to make things right, patronizing her own husband with these statements, putting him down and making him look like a fool is wrong. Basically what she does is making herself look great. What do we know what happened in this marriage all along that made her husband go astray. Mr. Sandord is a grown up man.

I am from North Carolina and everytime this lady makes a statement I personally feel more for Mark Sanford than I do for her. She is really working to build herself up to look like a glowing saint here rather than give her family the dignity and privacy to work through this very personal matter. Ms. Sanford, a part of me wonders why Governor Sanford does not focus his attention on himself and his sons, whom I am certain he must love, and let you go about living your own life OUT OF THE PUBLIC EYE! Though I am quite certain all of us feel sorry for the betrayal anyone would feel in such a circumstance, you are showing very little class and dignity with your public self-righteous attitude and statements.

She should only take him back if there is, beyond sheer commitment that will likely not last, love in his heart for her, that will be enduring.
