Yeah, disgusting.
Yeah, wife gone, family gone, career gone, reputation gone, future gone.
Consider: when one gets this far down the road to ruin for matters of sex, one is sick. It is likely another sort of addiction.
I am in no way defending him. But the likely fact is, he needs help - serious, psychiatric help.
I will not be cluck-clucking about this.

(111,277 posts)Addictive behavior can take many forms and what the addict is focused on is that little rush of happy chemicals in his brain. He'll compulsively chase it while he loses everything in his life. It happens with gamblers, also, they're not after the money, they're after the next rush of winning.
When Weiner didn't stop after losing his office, we had to know something was wrong. I just hope Huma leaves him enough money for the inpatient therapy he's going to need.
This has gone far beyond "case of arrested development, he needs to grow up" and into obviously compulsive behavior. He needs the kind of help nobody at DU can give him.

Having said that, I feel sorry for him and his wife. Any addictive and self-destructive disorder is not worthy of ridicule.

The Weiner family photo album must be loaded with vacation and holiday crotch shots.
