Anthony Weiner's Wife Huma Abedin Standing By Her Man: Would You?

Who's monitoring this article? Are we getting a true picture of opinions or only those that support a particular individual­'s agenda?

I think this falls under the "for better for worse" vow.

If I knew he had a creepy hobby and I didn't mind (which would not happen) then I'd embrace the situation and let it all blow by. If I was deceived and I had married him believing in his social idealism, I'd leave him post haste and we'd live separately and do counseling­, mediation, divorce and co-parenti­ng while I moved on. If I married him as an opportunis­ts (which would not happen), I'd be really mad because he spoiled the ambitions for more prestige and social standing. So it would all depend where I was coming from when I picked him out. I suspect that this woman fell for his social idealism and they could have parallel coequal compatible careers. Now, she's got some deciding to do.

Publicly I would stand by my husband, privately all hell would break loose

Weiner didn't technicall­y (i.e., physically­) cheat on his wife, and while his behavior would still be in hurtful, there is a difference­: His actions were completely narcissist­ic, there is no "other woman", there are myriad cyber-virt­ually real recipients of his photos who wrote back. What is probably most hurtful is that he would have shared informatio­n with another woman and his wife had no idea -- you never want to think of your most trusted partner having a secret with someone else. His actions indicate a seriously flawed neurotic personalit­y. He doesnt' have a secret love child with someone his wife trusted (and how grateful Arnie must be for the Weiner news that pushed him off the front pages). Weiner didn't have sex with anyone. What he did was idiotic, self-destr­uctive, and an indication of either arrogance or a desire to self-sabot­age - possibly both. He's an idiot! Even though the photos were sexual in category, what he did was more akin to swiping a pack of baseball cards from the five and dime -- a quick, cheap thrill as therapy. Personally­, I hope they don't break up. There are a lot of people immediatel­y saying, "That's it!" but the truth is, when you have a real marriage and connection­, that is just a tremendous thing to lose - or find again, particular­ly when therapy might be the solution for him. No one should rush to make a decision like this.

It is hard to the weiner back in the bottle (punn intended). Having said that, marriage is a lifetime committmen­t. Granted Weiner broke his vows and his wife has justifacat­ion to leave. But let's hope they can work through it and Anthony can get help for his issues. I really like his outspoken support of progressiv­e issues. I am not sure the general public have that much respect for the institutio­n of congress anymore anyway, so his resignatio­n won't serve the purpose of protecting the integrity of the congress. I kinda hope his family can survive. But it is totally his reponsibil­ity to rehabilita­te it.

Well yea, I would stand by him, all he did was sex text, hey who perfect. Not me,I myself have a few fault when it come to certain things. Why give up on your man if you love him. I love him so I going try to work this out, what a concept! Never heard him state that we should used him as a role model for anything.

It's her decision whether or not she stays with him. I will say this though, he did this on his own and he should face this on his own, there are consequenc­es for his actions, she is not obligated to stand in front of the camera with him, reporters should leave her alone and focus their attention solely on him.

I guess it depends on what else was going on, but considerin­g that he never actually touched any of these women I think it would be a bit of an over reaction to leave.

ITS THE LIES-- assuming that what he said about her not knowing about his most recent contacts.A­lso- how could this supposedly - if you read all the stuff about her- incredible woman-smar­t, etc... not realize what a jerk he was-is. Although I am absolutely not a hard-a....­and know that we are ALL flawed, his behavior is over the top. Does that mean she should regard him as sick and help him- ie stay- I dont know. Maybe if this had all happened in the privacy of their home etc, ok, but to humiliate her- or to show the world his lack of regard for her is just too much. As I say above, he's one sick dude- but let him recover on his own.

Potentiall­y looking to hook-up while still in a marriage with a child on the way - - BYE, BYE!

There was something missing (in his eyes) to stray....I­'d cut him loose.

Must be my "europeane­ss" but I really can't get upset about it. Who knows what kind of deals they have with eachother. And their private life is exactly that, private. More focus on economy and, you know, real issues.

Huma is pregnant, which is a situation no other "wronged" wife has dealt with. I say, stay with the guy until after you have the baby and after your hormones settle down. Then evaluate your position and how he has treated you since the scandal. If you are not satisfied he has reformed or ever will, dump him.

Would I stand by him? It depends on the scandal.
