Pride
July 5, 2009
I don’t agree with Ruth Marcus on very much, but on this, I think she has it right with her op-ed: Jenny Sanford, Role Model. Mrs. Sanford, wife of pathetic diarrhea-of-the-mouth Governor Mark Sanford, is neither playing the victim, nor enabling her husband’s disgressions. Although she’s left the door open to reconciliation, her pride and her basic sense of right and wrong, as well as caring about what her 4 boys see in the situation, have led her to leave Mark until he changes his scumbag ways.
In her statement about the situation, she spoke clearly and decisively about love, forgiveness, and commitment… while tacitly negating his blather about “soul mates”…
“I believe enduring love is primarily a commitment and an act of will, and for a marriage to be successful, that commitment must be reciprocal.”
Should she take him back? Not for me to say but I can’t help but hope that it’s her sense of character and love that is passed along to those boys.
Things that make you go “Hmmmm…”

G: Mia, when you grow up you’re going to have really big boobies. I’m not but you are because girls do and boys don’t”
M: Well, Daddy does..
