There is a lot of talk out there now about why women stay with men, especially those public figures that cheat. Just in case you have been in a coma over the last couple years here is a run down of cheating public figures, caught in sex scandals, whose wives have stood by them.
NY Gov Elliot Spitzer
Former Pres Bill Clinton
Senator Larry Craig
NJ Gov James McGreevey
Rep Gary Condit
Rep Randal Ankeney
Rep Mark Foley
CT Gov John G Rowland
Former NY Mayor Rudy Giuliani
Senator Bob Packwood
Senator Gary Hart
Congressman Bob Barr
* Just to name a few
However, the biggest story now is why their wives decided to stand beside them during these sex scandals. The reasons are simple family, money, power, duty/ obligation, low self esteem/ self worth & fame.
Family: Most have children and maybe still in love with their husbands.
Money: Some of these men are extremely wealthy and if they get a divorce the courts will probably be very generous and rule in their favor out of sympathy.
Power: These are very well connected and powerful men, some women are attracted to power.
Duty/ Obligation: Some of these women feel a since of duty not only to their family or mate, but to the state or people that look up to them. They want to send a false message of Hope "that everything is going to be alright".
Low Self-Esteem/ Self Worth: some women tend to marry men like their fathers, who were probably abusive and cheaters themselves. So they follow in that same destructive patterns in their relationships.
Fame: If there is a scandal now days. Shortly thereafter comes the book deals and Lifetime Movie.
So these women really have a lot to lose or gain. Depending on what their reasons for facing this kinda tragedy head on and in the public eye are.
