There is one thing I simply can not understand.  This morning while driving to work I was thinking about the recent John Edwards “scandal” and I had the same thought that I usually do in situations like that…..why’d she tell?  What satisfaction did she receive from it?

I was in undergrad during the Clinton scandal and one of my professors was from a  very conservative, very STRICT and GOVERNMENT RUN country.  Once he began class by talking about the story and saying “Why she tell?  In my country….she tell….she disappear.  Nobody find her.  Not her mother.  Not her father.  Not God.”

I really don’t think John’s little issue is anyone’s business except for he and Elizabeth.  I really don’t care that he had an affair.  But I can’t help but wonder, if you’re going to cheat then why tell it later on?  I’ve been an “other woman” before and I can honestly say that there was not one single time that I even thought about telling.  Why?  For what purpose?  What satisfaction do you get at the end of the day?

I know that some women do it in hopes of breaking up the marriage so that they can have a relationship with the man.  But when you know that won’t be happening (cause it’s obvious at this point that John ain’t leaving Elizabeth)…….why tell?

I would love for a woman that has told to explain to me why she did it.
