BellaOnline Forums Relationships Divorce Elizabeth Edwards

Does the fact that John Edwards has acknowledged he is the father of Rielle Hunter's daughter change your opinion about whether Elizabeth Edwards should file for divorce?

While everyone may have an opinion, it is my belief that unless you walk in someone else's shoes it is very difficult to judge whether or not another person should begin divorce proceedings.

I know the affair - and public humiliation would bother me tremendously. It would be a while before I could show my face in public and take "pity-stares", etc. Looking at newspapers, news and weekly trash tabloids would take all of my courage.

A baby? Something to forever remind me of what happened? Last straw! Not the child's fault at all - she did not ask to be born, but I know that would be what finally ended it.

Also - I realize that many of the men that commit adultery (and women do, as well)do it for their own gratification and it is not really a reflection on their spouse.........but it would still kill me inside.

If I had cancer - like Elizabeth Edwards - ??? I may change my mind then if I were scared enough and that would literally be hell on earth.

If I were healthy - it would be good riddance!

As much as I hate what happened, I do have to admit, if he is serious about being a real father to the child, then good for him for finally "manning up".
