I interpreted the - not caring much - as something more meaningful than simply looking the other way. Looking the other way never occurred to me - because it's not something I'd do if my man cheated - there'd be hell to pay - big time. If I were the li'l mister, I'd gone straight to the media, ruined his chances for President, and gladly accepted spousal support. I don't take crap from my men. The worst thing you can do to a guy, besides cutting off his junk, is hitting him in the wallet. Men hate paying out to their ex's.

I wasn't trying to shift blame, I just noted her response, prior to it being revealed that the good governor has had this affair going on for years.

Why do women stay with men like this? Is it because they've grown accustomed to their living standards and just look the other way to keep the status quo?

Do women look the other way when they are financially dependent upon a man?
