You may be...@Nerd Girl,<BR/>Hmm, a political wife oath? You may be onto something (smile). I agree that at a certain point and in situations like these--loyalty turns into complicity or at least gives the perception of such.<BR/><BR/>@Pjazzy,<BR/>All points of view are welcome here (smile). Disagreement just makes for a more interesting conversation.<BR/><BR/>While I agree that standing by someone doesn't always mean you condone their actions, it does make a statement and will often be interpreted as such. <BR/><BR/>Also, I think standing by your child and standing by your grown a$$ husband are two very different things (LOL). But then again, maybe Spitzer's mama should have been standing up there with him, since he's obviously got a lot of growing up to do . . .<BR/><BR/>When it comes to my own offspring, sure, I'd stand by him before a judge--one time. I'd even bail him out--one time. After that, all bets are off. This mama just don't play that. If you're not trying to learn from your mistakes and do better, all I can do is pray for you and hope one day you come to your senses. <BR/><BR/>Doesn't mean I'd ever stop loving him, but I really do feel if he's man enough (or bad enough or grown enough) to get into the mess by himself, he durn well oughta be man enough (or bad enough or grown enough) to take the punishment by himself. Why drag your mama (or anybody else you claim to love) into it, after the fact?<BR/><BR/>But getting back to the Spitzers--if the marriage is little more than a business enterprise, then I guess if nothing else, at least ole boy is consistent when it comes to his choice of women (smile).Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09792085144824685369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34223438.post-7308056186621090112008-03-15T10:02:00.000-05:002008-03-15T10:02:00.000-05:00I beg to differ, standing by someone does not mean...I beg to differ, standing by someone does not mean that you condone their behavior. For instance, if your child goes before the judge because they have broken the law, you will probably stand beside them while they are doled our their punishment although you do not condone their behavior. <BR/><BR/>We can never know what is going on behind the scenes. Some of these women probably already know about the affairs, hookers, etc. and the marriage is nothing more than a business enterprise for which she is paid handsomely to put up the facade of "standing by her man" when in actuality she is just fulfilling an agreed upon obligation. These women might not want to mess with their bottom line. Just a thought.pjazzyparhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02270767809180700095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34223438.post-66750278161958906602008-03-13T10:17:00.000-05:002008-03-13T10:17:00.000-05:00Oh, I so agree.

I think whatever decision these couples come to in the privacy of their homes should be respected - period.<BR/><BR/>How-so-never, I think that when you literally stand by someone, you are condoning their action. And that aint happening. Maybe political wives take some sort of oath the rest of us know nothing about . . .Nerd Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00926456048303081652noreply@blogger.com
