It sounds as if she is staying with him. She keeps talking about healing her family. I of course am a firm believer that people are wired to behave one way or another. There are people like myself who could never and would never cheat on a mate, while others can and do. I believe if a person can cheat once, they’ll cheat again, so hopefully she knows what she is getting herself into by staying with him.

He lied about the affair, lied about money spent within the affair…he lives on betrayal. I wouldn’t want to be married to a man like that.

Powerful men with extraordinary wives like (think Clinton, Spitzer and SO many more) always seem to do something horrific to humiliate themselves and thereby bring the woman down.

Jenny Sanford is the First Lady of my adopted state. She has always put her family and children first. The fact that she has moved out of the Governor’s mansion shows that she is very much her own person. She has never relied on her husband to make critical decisions for her and that made her an asset to South Carolina. I have always admired the fact that she knew and spoke her own mind. At this point it would be far too early to predict if that future will include Mark Sanford. I admire her for not standing up for her man in this time of turmoil.

Jenny Sanford needs time out of the public spotlight to explore her options without undue influence. She is the only person who is able to weigh the advantages or disadvantages of staying married to her present husband. 

I wish Ms. Sanford and her children the best. It is never easy to start over, but to have to pick up the pieces as a result of such a public situation must be very daunting. Whatever her ultimate conclusion regarding her marriage, I hope she is allowed the privacy and time she needs to arrive at it. Good luck to her.

Her husband has made so much of his affair and is so "in your face" about it…true love etc. accounts for everybody’s understanding in his opinion. He has publically humiliated his wife, and saying he will try to fall in love with her again was the final insult. Good for her leaving, and hope she stays left and does not even attempt a reconciliation, as he has even further proved that he is dishonest.

Mr Fiscal Conservative Family Values…. Used a state airplane for private use and cheated on his wife…. isn’t that ‘special’.

Good for you Jenny. I don’t agree with the whole ‘stay together for the children’ theory. She would have shown her 4 boys it was ok to publicly humiliate, cheat on and lie to your wife and mother of your children. If she divorces him, she will be the real promter of ‘family values’. be strong Jenny. Show your boys that hurtful behavior in not acceptable.

this is gossip not news …. comon Wow - U can do better than this ….

I wouldn’t dream of telling Jenny Sanford what to do. Quite simply, I’m not in her shoes and the answers are never as easy for those who are in these situations as they are for those who aren’t. However, it was nice for a change that we didn’t see her doing the “stand by your man” thing when the man in question certainly doesn’t deserve it. I wish her and her sons all the best. She seems like a strong woman and I’m sure she’ll come through this.

How different the world would be if Hillary, Jackie, or poor Elizabeth Edwards would have walked out on their cheating husbands.

I say congratulations to Jenny for having the courage to walk out on her cheating husband. At least she isn’t dying of cancer. 

I have no idea what she "should" do. not for me to say. I’d guess if she’s moving out now, after several weeks, that her husband hasn’t given up his "soul mate".

Hard to go back to a man that has publicly annouced that the othe woman is his soul mate. WTF!  How can you even begin to have a marital relationship with the man if you know he’d rather be with his soul mate.  I would kick him to the curb and make sure that his political career is no more and disgrace him as much as possible.  I would raise my kids to know the man that you originally fell in love with, and that you respected that man, but the man that he became is not one that you would have choosen.  Its hard to bash the father of your children bc you never know if one of them will take that as a personal attack on them.  So she will have to walk a fine line.  But the kids will be her primary concern and making sure that they stay as stable during this process as possible. I did love that she had the support of what looked like her girlfriends. 

I’m still waiting for the GOP to kick Ensign to the street.  What that idiot did in NV is much worst than what Sanford did.  Ensign used public fund as well as his own to finance and maintain his extra marital affair.  He and his thugs at C Street House should all be exposed, but it won’t happen.  They are too powerful a DC institution.

This lady has handled this situation with class from the start, I was so impressed she did not stand by his side when he admitted his affair to the press like so many other political wives. If she leaves I say more power to her. This is one classy woman and I have much respect for her.
