Politics as Usual..

Of course by now, we’ve all heard of the John Edwards story and all of the fall out. A wife who has passed away, children in mourning and a husband without a wife. Of course by now, we’ve all created our own opinions. Of course by now, we can guess which side those opinions are swayed towards.

How about looking at life from a different perspective for once.

No. we are not John Edwards, the politician, supporter.
No. we are not John Edwards, decision maker, supporter.

We are however John Edwards, man in a relationship supporter.

Let’s look at some of the story. A man is in a relationship, fact. The woman that he is in a relationship with wasn’t attending to his needs, fact. Now, basic logic, regardless of creed, gender or preference is that if one is not happy in their relationship, they will assuredly find it elsewhere.

It’s no different than you at home. You’re not happy with the way your relationship has progressed. You’re not happy with the direction of the relationship. You’re not happy with the sex life of the current relationship. It’s only natural that you take a outward look at ways to be happy.

Sure, he may have been selfish.
Sure, his timing may be abhorrent.

But…

The obvious fact of the situation, is that he isn’t as big a villain as we’d like to make him out to be. He’s a man that made a bad decision at a bad time. Just like some of us have.


So I ask RR readers, what are your thoughts on this situation? Were his actions warranted?
