Did she know, and believe it harmless fun for a man with power who really, really liked having his ego stroked?
Let me tell you a story. This is all 100 % true. When I played Everquest......
If someone goes to a strip club once for a bachelor party or some type of guys night out... and gets a really hot lap dance, then goes home and makes passionate love to his wife... That's not cheating.
But if someone goes to a strip club weekly, spending the grocery money... I'd say there's a problem.
Wiener had 6 of these online flings? Was it taking away from time at work? Was it taking away from time at home? Was he looking to take if farther?
He didn't break the law, but it's hard to say if he broke is vows.
I didn't hear him say she was aware of any of this and not bothered by it. Those would have been the first words out of my mouth in that situation, provided that was the case. And didn't he say he "let her down," or some such?
Also I find pornography, topless bars etc to be a similar breach.
I recognize that others might have a different opinion, and that's fine. But I believe people who do this are weakening/damaging the most important human relationship they can have.
Would he then be - in my estimation, you don't do anything behind your partner's back that you wouldn't feel perfectly comfortable doing in front of their face. Is that naive?

Sorry, its not a black and white issue to me, it comes down to how one defines 'cheating.' Having a physical sexual relationship outside of your marriage is serious and may warrant divorce. I don't believe 'sexting' rises to that level, but that is me.
That's not naive. That's a big part of how I define "cheating"; if you have to hide it, it is. To me, fidelity is about loyalty, not sex. If you have put something else above your spouse and your marriage, whatever it is, you have cheated; you have betrayed the trust your spouse has held in you and broken your vows of marriage. In this case, it doesn't seem like there was much going on beyond exchanging pictures; it's somewhere between pornography and adultery, and much much closer to the former.
Hence the part about being between him and his wife.. Why would hear anything about it?? What part of 'None of your Business.' do you not understand?? Neither him or his wife should have to say anything to you for you to hear..
You don't see liberals demanding an explinantion from Ensign or Gov. Sanford about their affairs.. Hell, Sanford used tax payer money to fly to another country and see his.. Why is it that republicans don't seem to worried about such things when it is involves a republican.. Did you hear anything from them?? Or did you even ask??
Weiner said he didn't cheat. Agree, or disagree?
A relationship where emotional and/or physical bonds with other people is encouraged/permitted/etc. doesn't seem like much of a relationship to me.
Remind me not to marry you.
Not to worry, I have 39 years of marriage under my belt, so I have a different perspective than you.
(Besides, I could never marry a Glenn Beck fan, but I digress.)
