It has been happening for decades - celebrities , powerful men making headlines around the world when their uncontrolled sexual behavior is exposed. Every time another scandal hits the news , I think of the wives of these men - how do they hold up? I truly admire their mental strength
Would you be able to do it? - to hold your head high and smile for the press when every sordid detail of his exploits is all over the news - day after day. Marriage for better or worse - would I be able to stand by him throughout all the shame and scandal? I don't know - would you?

I am glad my life isn't scrutinized under a microscope by the public eye like that - it would drive me batty. Along with the good, you also have to hear the bad - and although it's quite possible that not all of it is true, you may still hear it and then some. I don't know that I could just smile, be supportive and act like everything is ok - because it's not.

I really wonder just how many of those marriages will be able to recover.

@Kandae11 I recall an awful old country song, "Stand by Your Man."

i am never that kind of a woman. i can give up a relationship that easy if trust and honesty are broken.

Yes these women are really strong. I always think it is not a good idea to be the partner of celebrity.

That is true. But the scandal in very prominent person is three times more than ordinary people. Much pressure is upon them all around. For like us, we need to check and balance. I think the wife will somehow know if his husband is cheating on her

Everyone is different. I would leave, no questions asked. It would be painful if the love was strong for this person, but I would not stick around long enough to subject myself to more of it.

@Kandae11 Of course. Saving face over saving grace. They are digging their own grave.

@Kandae11 True. That´s why I think that both spouses have to behave well.

@marguicha Indeed they should- It is an awful shame for everyone involved - including children.

The question is were the wives totally ignorant of their husbands' activities and as long as discretion was observed, went along for the position and lifestyle. Dolores Hope was married to Bob Hope for like 70 years and knew he was a serial philanderer and put up with it in exchange for social position.

I am not a celebrity, but I have a husband who would not go into such scandals.

@Kandae11 Yes, that's it. Relationships keep firm when there is trust.
