Related: About this forumLooks like Dr.Broadwell is keeping his wife Paula
Do you think he's STUPID!!! .We don't know what kind of marriage they have maybe he was once out there and she caught him creeping . Or just maybe they have an open marriage remember she was always away from home going on book tours while he was home with the two boys. Or maybe she told her husband she had an affair before everybody else knew. http://scallywagandvagabond.com/2012/11/paula-broadwell-david-petraeus-mistress-turns-up-in-public-with-husband/

(75,480 posts)What went on between her and Petraeus really only involves those involved in those marriages. If there was no security breaches, and that's all we need to concern ourselves about, then we have no business in their respective marriages. However, I've got to admit that the voyeuristic aspects of this is tempting.

(8,084 posts)divorce in two years is worth the wait
who knows
Marriage is private, unpredictable, complicated, and only between the two people in the marriage.
Or she is about to be super rich and he might as well ride that gravy train everywhere it goes

(3,333 posts)Were I in his situation, the divorce papers would already be filed. Actually would have been filed the moment the affair became obvious.

(86 posts)Let he who is without sin throw the first stone. Leave it alone. Damn, investigate over classified info etc. Leave the marriage B.S. alone. This is the kind of crap Repukes thrive on.

(117 posts)Try to keep things as normal as possible for the kids.
And when things quiet down in a couple of months, slowly start separating and gently break it to the little ones.
Those boys are traumatized enough as it is.

(11,479 posts)I thought she should have respected herself enough to kick him out when she was humiliated in front of whole country. Showed me marriage was a sham staying together for power.
I think she is ok but I sort of lost my respect when she didnt leave him.

I have friends who have gone through the same thing. on the husband's end and on the wife's side. It is never easy but some people try to work it out. Some do end up divorcing as being together was worse for everyone involved, including the children.
