Did it occur to you that she couldn't deliver such a line TO SOMEONE ELSES HUSBAND??
WOW, way to blame the victim in the tragedy.
In her interview with Oprah, She was inferring that she couldn't deliver "such a line" at all.
She is trying to portray herself as the victim while taking NO responsibility for issues in her marriage. Having cancer does not automatically make her a saint.
She is a mother AND a wife. She neglected her responsibilities to her husband.

Where is everyone reading her sex life because I didn't hear anytjing on Oprah about her not wanting sex before or after her cancer. Mabe I need to read what all of you have about her sex life, I guess I miss something.

In my opinion, once your husband ends up in bed with someone else, that sort of transcends whatever came before. Of course its a marriage, both people are at fault for some things but he went over the top. He should never have gotten married if he can't keep it in his pants around other women. This idea that men if not treated just right, have the justification to go out and sleep around because they are like animals and can't control themselves is stupid.
AND as for her making her cancer a big deal, maybe you missed his campaign rhetoric. He USED her cancer relapse to make him look like a really commited politician because in spite of his wife's condition he was going to campaign for the good of the country.
I just wonder where your point of view on this issue comes from?
I have NO sympathy for man or woman who step outside a marriage. They take the prize in being selfish and whatever else was wrong, is trumped by a move like that.
I am just thankful this man was not elected as president or vice president. We don't need someone with this kind of arogance and dishonesty in the White House.
Elizabeth Edwards is not receiving sympathy from the public (and her book isn't selling) because she refuses to accept ANY responsiblit for the issues that existed in her marriage that created a situation where her husband felt the need to step outside of the marriage for something that was lacking.
I believe her book is not selling because frankly, no one cares about the Edwards family. Yes, it's sad she has cancer, but millions of women who have far less monetary means are fighting the same battle. Yes, her husband cheated on her, but that's hardly news. Yes, she lost a son tragically, but that happens every day too.
She is just another person who for some reason, keeps putting herself into the public eye even when we're trying to move on. I doubt very highly that many of us even gave a thought to their situation because, while tragic, it certainly isn't unique. I just have a bad taste in my mouth, especially after seeing the Today show, that she is just another person who will use any excuse to continue making public appearances. John Edwards' political career is toast. Before the affair, it wasn't doing all that great anyway. If he weren't a previous VP candidate, she wouldn't have had any reason to write the book. No one going through anything similar is going to get anything more out of her book than they would meeting with a cancer survivor group in their own city. Not every story needs a book written about it. Either she's a narcissist or a glutton for punishment. Either way, she should be home, trying to rest and spending whatever time she has left with her kids. Further interviews talking about how great her cheating husband was for all the years before he cheated is just stupid and starting to get annoying. The goodwill she's experienced from most of America will begin to fade if she continues down that path and she genuinely seems like a nice lady.
heaven help us all and all the poor mods here when the "other"woman hits the talk circuits and the threads begin here. Hold on for the ride then.........
So the thought is she didn't keep him satisfied so he was justified?? Wow. Maybe he didn't keep her satisfied so she gave up? Or maybe the all the meds had side affects? Or maybe, with an a-hole for a husband, cancer and kids to raise she was depressed which can wreak havoc on ones libido? Or perhaps he made her feel inadequate? For all the blaming of her for his shortcomings, I'm not seeing any blame placed his direction for what are perceived as hers. Just a thought.

Let me see if I can remember...
For better, for worse, in sickness and in health.
I don't recall seeing anywhere that one partner gets to jump in someone elses bed when they get an inch that their spouse can't scratch.
In an odd way 'm not sure we are all just talking about Elizabeth Edwards but peoples ideas of cheating. Which seems to be interresting as a side note because I can't believe how many women seem to think the wife or husband is the fault and not the cheater.
