It seems they both have different ideas about physical intimacy, so why stay? Is money worth years of being unloved and unhappy. It makes no sense to me. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] SCB@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago I don't think they're unloved. I genuinely think more politicians than you think have "arrangements." Even if not, infidelity happens, and I'm glad they worked through it permalink fedilink source parent [–] VR20X6@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 years ago (1 child) Cheating on his wife was reprehensible, but not really impeachment-worthy. Did it make any difference in his ability to govern? Nope. But sure, if it didn't happen in his second term, I'm not going to say you shouldn't have been allowed to consider it for whether or not you should vote for his reelection. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] voidMainVoid@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago Cheating on your wife isn't illegal, because we don't live in a theocracy. That's between him and his wife and maybe a marriage counselor. It has nothing to do with his office. permalink fedilink source parent
