Who knows what this couple is/has been going through?
We all understand that guys have needs. We all have needs, right? But he didn’t just cheat with his wife’s gf or someone at his office. He spent a fortune on prostitutes. I can’t imagine which is worse. I heard the other day that 20 percent of married individuals cheat. I’ve been severely tempted but realized that walking away from temptation is easier in the long run than walking away from your family, your friends, and your reputation.
It would be easy to say that the fact that Spitzer went to prostitutes showed that he was only looking for sex, not for love. But sex is one of the most complicated of all relationships, and I think he unintentionally fell in love/lust/infatuation with the hooker he repeatedly paid so much money to visit.
My, how the tables have been turned in the eyes of society. Now he has been driven from office in shame and she is the one who is on top of the world. (For a while she was probably as heavily Googled as Janet Jackson right after her wardrobe malfunction, or Britney Spears after she “inadvertently” opened her legs in front of a bazillion camera flashes while exiting her car.)
It isn’t that the world loves a slut any more than they love a slimeball. It’s just that inquiring minds always want to know, “What does she look like?”
I wish Spitzer and his family well. But I doubt that this story can ever have a happy ending.
