could be. Do you know for sure he is telling the truth? No you don't. Nobody just comes out and admits something when nobody is asking. He was either forced out or wanted out and this gives him an excuse.
Neither of those make sense.
1) IF the Administration wanted him out Obama would simply has asked for his resignation and then announced that Patraeus left for "personal reasons" or to "Pursue other things". There was no need to create a story like this.
2) IF Petraues wanted out he could have simply resigned and stated one of those reasons above - why would he bring trouble to his marriage by saying something like he did?
The ONLY reason someone would admit to an affair is because he HAD AN AFFAIR and word of it was about to come out somehow anyway.
As I said, maybe his mistress was a spy and had tried to blackmail him - and Patraeus, rather than submit to that, simply came clean.

David, we want you to resign.
Hell no I won't, I'm going to testify about what your screw up in Benghazi next week.
If you do that, we'll leak this extemely damning information. Or, we can keep it quiet but you're going to have to admit to having an affair, the details, we'll keep quiet.
Ok.
Depends on the details of the affair. If he was dressing up in womens clothes and diapers with 16 year old girls....

Dumb theory that makes no sense.
"If you do that, we'll leak this extemely damning information. Or, we can keep it quiet but you're going to have to admit to having an affair, the details, we'll keep quiet." - what the HECK does THAT mean?

Better to have the dam leak a little, then to burst all at once.
Well I said before the election that Patreus was going to step down after the election. My Crystal ball is working very well. Benghazi was a CIA operation and he was in charge of the CIA, he has to fall on the sword.

I'm not going through every page for the math, but it sounds to me that the VAST majority of people, for one reason or another, feel there is more to this resignation then an affair.
CIA Director David Petraeus Resigns Effective Immediately
He is going to testify before the Congressional hearing on Benghazi next week, and is now conveniently no longer under the thumb of the president to remain silent.
I find it interesting that the president of the United States can engage in sexual activity with an intern and he doesn't have to resign but the CIA head does. I find that a bit of a disconnect.
He resigned voluntarily.
