Huma Told Weiner To Pack It In, Couple Finally Seen Together In Supermarket
Noticeably absent from the Anthony Weiner resignation press conference/circus yesterday was his pregnant wife Huma Abedin, who is reportedly "beyond numb - frozen and angry," a source tells the Daily News. As Weiner was heckled by Howard Stern's sidekick Benjy ("Goodbye, perv!" and "Are you seven inches?" were among his taunts before he was escorted out), the disgraced politician stood alone onstage. As the Post's Andrea Peyser notes, "There were no porn stars, strippers, or high-school-age groupies on hand to cushion his fall. His parents were no-shows, as was his brother. Mentor Chuck Schumer was too busy." And his wife remains out of the public eye, though sources say she told her husband to quit.

"What broke him is Huma," a source tells the Daily News. "She said she can't see him continuing." Abedin stayed at the couple's apartment in Forest Hills as Weiner resigned in the Brooklyn Senior Center. Another source tells the News, "I wouldn't read anything into her not being there. She does not like the spotlight under happy circumstances. She's an intensely private person and this is something that is shocking."

After the press conference, Weiner returned home briefly, then left with Abedin carrying overnight bags. It's believed they were headed to the Hamptons, as the two were later spotted at the King Kullen supermarket in Manorville, LI, on one of the main roads to the Hamptons. One supermarket witness tells the Post Weiner was seen with the brim of his baseball cap low over his head, singing along to a '50s doo-wop song on the radio. Abedin was reportedly "all smiles. She didn't look upset or anything." But when Weiner realized he was recognized, the witness says he "stopped his warbling" and "gave me a look as if to say, 'What do you want from me?' " Naturally, the Post has creepy video of the couple shopping.

1. Hope it's true.
If she can forgive him, she's a better woman than I.

4. It's a tuff decision in the wife's case.
Do you toss him out on his...ear and never see him again
or

do you stay married so you can torture him every day about his betrayal,
and when the kid is born always say
"Your father, the no good cheating bastard"

or

do you do a Bobbit?

Decisions decisions decisions.

35. There is another possibility...
that she was already aware of his extracurricular activities (or even condoned them as long as they remained private) and had come to peace with them in some way. I mean who knows what goes on in their neighbor's (or congressperson's) marriage?

I'm more sexually-liberated than most people admittedly; in her shoes though, I might be infuriated over the recklessness of it (Let's be frank. He was more-or-less begging to be caught what with how brazenly he was carrying on.) but I doubt I'd ever divorce a loved spouse over that.

2. "A source tells." "Another source tells."
Edited on Fri Jun-17-11 03:31 PM by JackRiddler
You tell me what's done more damage to Huma Abedin: the exchange of some pixels between Weiner and strangers, or the thousands of moralists now presuming to speak for her, or to pretend to be inside her brain -- long as the sourcing remains anonymous!

8. The fact that her husband was having such relationships with other women.
Any married guy with any sense knows that.

What others are saying or doing is nothing. She now has to determine if she can really trust the man who is the father of her unborn child. She has to wonder if there is another shoe to fall ... a woman he did have sex with.

All of the rest of it is just noise.

11. I know sometimes I wonder if it was
marriage of convenience since she is gone so much and he needed wife for politics. Maybe she wanted a baby. You just never know. She might not care if he fools around so long as he doesn't get caught...she is probably pissed at that.

Crap I remember rumors during Hillary campaign about Huma and Hillary...you just never know....now don't hate me for remembering the rumors. It's probably not true.

12. Ahhhh...
....the old defense of cheating politicians that we like --- 'we don't know if they had an open marriage'.


That shit is laughable on its face as it happens everytime some pol gets caught - again, if it is a pol we like.



All that said - if I was Wiener, I would be more concerned about Hillary's reaction. If she is unhappy, he can kiss his political career good bye.

28. Who says I like Weiner? I like almost none of these people.
Long as it involves consensual and non-criminal relationships, whether or not they cheat is none of my concern. The only exception is for "family values" poseurs and closeted gays who vote against gay rights, a la Craig.

I don't care to defend Weiner's pixellating around. (For god's sake, talk about boring! Not even actual sex!) And that is because it doesn't matter.

His voting record on legislation matters. His political statements matter, to some extent.

In fact, not only does his pixellating with women he never even met NOT matter, it is actively irresponsible to care.

The entire country was held hostage for two years while we waited for a resolution of the Clinton-Lewinsky matter. That was just sick. That's what our "history" will be, that's what we'll be handing down to the future generations when they ask: "What the fuck were these morons talking about, while they were laying waste to the earth?"

15. You PREEND to know ... you said, its just "some pixels"!!!!
That is YOU claiming to know how his wife would feel.

I'm trying to think of any married couple I know in which this behavior would have been something they agreed was OK. I've got lots of married friends, been married for 21 years ... can't think of one.

You said .... "just some pixels". That is YOUR version of what she thinks this is about. No??

And given that, I can only conclude that either (a) you are not married, or (b) you and your wife are sending sex videos to a web site for extra cash on the side.

I might be wrong on B.

Oh ... you know his wife is a Muslim, right? They tend to be rather reserved in the area of sexual promiscuity. But hey, maybe she is the exception, supports his sending dick pics to women she does not know about ... could happen.

30. "Just some pixels" is not what I think his wife thinks...
It's what it physically was. She can think whatever she likes, and you know what? I don't care. It doesn't matter to me.

How did Weiner vote on the PATRIOT Act renewal? That's the kind of question he (and pretty much every other so-called representativs) should have to answer for. Distracting ourselves with talk of his dick pictures is a kind of crime we commit on ourselves!

10. Good question.
Edited on Fri Jun-17-11 03:48 PM by sabrina 1
I would definitely say the moralists claiming they care about her. Like Hillary, she probably feels it's no one's business but hers.

Hillary obviously was right about the 'vast rightwing conspiracy' and stayed with her husband, not giving them another victory.

Apparently the American people feel the same way. As of a few days ago, Rep. Weiner was more popular than the President AND Congress.

The fact that anyone could approve of the prying and snooping and stalking of public officials he was subjected to because he had the guts to go after Republicans, is exactly what is wrong with this country.

As for cheating spouses, it's my business unless it's my spouse. A simple concept lost even on some democrats.

14. Can DU not
let anything go? You all act like the right wing media. For God's sake allow this couple to heal. You keep obsessing on sex just like the media. You won't be happy until the marriage is no longer. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm, wonder what is going on in your marriage that we want disclosed. Don't give me this crap I am not a political official, that is so self rightious. You preach, you condemn, you best be practing what you preach with honesty.

I have been trying since this started to say exactly what you just said. But some seem to believe that we have a right to involve ourselves in other people's sex lives. That is NOT me as I thought I had made clear, over and over again.

23. Weiner created this mess, no one else.
I did not want him to resign. But the notion that he was forced out is silly.

The entire situation is of his making. If he was not doing this rather stupid thing, the "stalkers" would have had nothing to chase him on.

He KNEW this was a bad idea.

Oh ... and how to you stalk an idoit who is sending such picture to people he does not know personally? Did he not think they would show those to others?

You do not need stalkers to find what is sitting in plain sight.

27. Stalkers knew nothing about him when they began stalking
him. We are talking about Brietbart here, who needs nothing to spread smears and lies about liberals. He lucked out when Weiner hit the wrong button, but they HAD intended to lie regardless, as they did about Shirley Sherrod and the many innocent workers at ACORN.

If they had found nothing, they would invented it, that is what they do. Such as O'Keefe trying to lure a CNN onto a boat, to 'prove she was a slut' or whatever. Had the reporter not been warned by one of O'Keefe's 'associates', after she realized how far this creep was willing to go, who knows what might have resulted from his little stunt.

Did Van Jones give them anything to smear him with? No, he didn't have to, he was targeted because he went after Glenn Beck's advertisers, and once again, sadly, with the help of Democrats, we lost a really good environmentalist because Dems refuse to stand up these creeps for some reason.

Weiner did nothing that should require stepping down adn the public agrees. He was spied on, stalked, harassed and his wife insulted, slandered all over the internet long before they knew anything about his personal sex life. It's a real shame to see people allow these criminals off the hook for their actions. I just don't get it. Many innocent people have seriously harmed by them, two are suing because it is the only hope they have of restoring their reputations, destroyed wrongfully by these thugs.

I will keep my focus on the real criminals, you are free to blame others for what they do. I hope soon they will cross a line, as O'Keefe has now on several occasions to the point where they are put out of business permanently. But it won't be any thanks to the media or the Dem leadership who appear to have their priorities a bit mixed up.

13. I hope they can make it.
However, if Huma can't forgive him, it would be understandable. I hope Weiner realizes what a huge mistake he's made, makes amends and turns over a new leaf. None of us are perfect. However, his wife and child deserved more respect and consideration. I'm glad that Weiner is taking the time to work on his marriage and family. Politics will still be there when all is said and done. I still believe he has a political future.

17. My warped, fragile little mind is having a hard time getting past this thread title.
At the end of the day, we don't really know what kind of marriage they have. I've always thought that maybe Bill Clinton had "permission". For all we know, Anthony was allowed to have little cyber trists while she was out of the country. I'm just speculating of course, so don't think I'm claiming there is any fact to any of that.

20. Make him cancel hisTweet account, cancel Facebook account
and cancel cell phone text message function. If he wants to regain her trust he needs to give up those communication functions, and just use a landline and cell phone. If she is computer savvy she can track his emails if she does not trust him. Tough spot to be in.

You pass judgement by remote control.

Meanwhile this government has been burning and dismembering thousands of children by remote control, for many years, but no one ever had to resign because of that!

43. Their Business
Apparently most of this sexting happened before their relationship. Some of it afterwards. What happened while the man was single and with other women (real or virtually) is not his current lady's business!

If he's searching for "something else" while he's with her, well that must be upsetting. However, it's nobody's business and I still say "come back Anthony"!
