I have mixed feelings here. I know that she's sick but I also don't know what her chances of survival are. If they are low, then I'd say if you can tolerate him and have a fairly happy home for the children since they are young, then stay together. But if it's not a happy home, then it's not good for the children to stay together just because of her illness. This is something that no one can decide for her - it has to be Elizabeth's decision. God Bless her and her family

She should have left him years ago. This is not the first time he has done this. In the 2004 campaign he was always ignoring her in public, while she looked on adoringly. Elizabeth Edwards has incredibly low self esteem. She also needs massive amounts of therapy. She needs to blame her husband instead of calling Rielle Hunter" pathetic." Not classy, Elizabeth.
-
What's ALSO "not classy" is persons like you wanting someone else to act as you would - or perhaps as you WANT TO, but can't, so find fault in others for the fault you perceive that you share... You don't see that she has PLENTY of self esteem, enough so that regardless of what her husband does, it does not put a frame around her. She's a separate entity and so can go on in her life without reactive reference to his acts. So far as "therapy" I'd suggest that this 5/6/09 ananymous writer may, herself, need it, based on the venomous attack she's making on Elizabeth- now that was pathetic. No worry. Elizabeth will be just fine, thank you, regardless of you or of her husband.

She should just let him have that jerk. She can do better, and maybe Ms. Hunter will one day know what it is like when he goes out on her at a drop of a hat.
-
Why doesn't the insider speak about what the obamas' are doing embarrassing the country, instead you talk about Gov.Palins daughter and ex boyfriend, you want them to be quite and raise their baby then quit talking about them, I used to love your show but now you show your true colors. You are not neutral in your reporting too far left for me!!
-
Her health is fragile and she does not need any more unnecessary stress than she is already going through. All of the public should extend some common courtesy and let her live the rest of her life as peacefully as possible!
-
poor woman she has 2 young kids,battling cancer,cheating husband,cheating husband she does not need ,but at least with him home she will be able to get some emotional support raising those young kids and in her fight against cancer.
-
Elizabeth oughtta LEAVE j. edwards!!
he is just another DIRTY democratic politician that cannot keep his promise all Elizabeth wanted was for him too remain faithfull'.
he is ABSOLTELY UGLY in my opinion and too do this too her while she has cancer is DISGRACEFULL.!! -
Look i know what it is like for my husband to cheat,but there is something that happen to them they lost a child some couple never last i don't know what it is like to loose a child but for them it must have been hard they have over come alot of thing like cancer and child lost so there are bond to be bumps along the way they can get thought is i believe in that they are good for each other and to many women leave there men for a lot lessso i pray they get thour it
-
I too have extremely mixed feelings. She said a couple of years ago that the doctors had told her five years. Assuming he learns how to behave himself, I think she needs him for the children and for her to lean on. However, to this time he has been an inadequate support and she needs a strong one. May she have peace and strength in her life.

goo kha

he teaching her she has to let him go and be shur that helth is most important for her especialy for right now

Elizabeth Edwards is a beautiful woman.
-
No, if you still love your husband you can work this out. Divorce doesn't solve anything it compounds the problem. (I know and am sorry I left). If you have other children with John Edwards hang in there and make it work. There is no excuse or reason for infidelity and he who reaches outside of marriage is low but a marriage is worth the price to save. May God give you the strength to forgive and do whatever is in your heart that is best for your family
-
I think she should leave him ONLY if it serves her better. If she needs his money, his help with the kids, etc. then he should stay and live like he is married and work hard for her. Otherwise she should dump him!
-
Why should she leave him. She has incurable cancer and her children have to deal with that let alone breaking up the family. She is doing what she can for her children and I guess at this point in time John isn't the issue!
-
I think it should be her decision alone. She is living on borrowed time, I think it's too late to fix things, however, if she can deal with it, she will have fewer things to be concerned about later. That, and she would probably want the man she loes to be at her side.
-
Its too bad that this happened to her. What a beautiful and gracious lady she is. It sickens me to see these nice looking politicians who have wonderful wives behind them, making them look good, being there with them no matter what, go sneaking around with some other woman. Are there any men out there that's heard of the words "self-control". I think its a farce that they're "wired" to be unfaithful. I think some stupid man made that up along the way just so he'd have an excuse to fool around. With all the stuff that Elizabeth has been through - well I just can't believe that the man who supposedly loved her so much betrayed her. He and Eliot Spitzer - and other men like them - are cut from the same cloth. These men don't realize how lucky they are to have women like they're married to until they've done the dirty little deed, they got found out and then its too late. I hope Elizabeth kicks him to the curb. He truly deserves it.
-
Let him suffer with the humiliation from her & his family. My own husband left me when he thought I was going to die - 38 years ago! I call him A$$H@LE number 1. She should live out the rest of her life with strength.
-
The Insider should be ashamed of yourselves..hunting out the Sister of the Woman..please. Get back to talking to STARS.. not the sisters or friends of nobodies.
-
It doesn't matter what WE think ...it's HER decision!! Leave her alone and let BOTH John and she live this the way THEY chose. What in heavens name has come over this country that NEWS media hass nothing better to do than to pit people against this DEAR lady!!!
Just be QUIET and mind your own business...report the decaying government that is happening before our very eyes.. the individual FREEDOMS that are being torn away....BIG GOVERNMENT takling over our lives!!!..... not the Edwards marriage!! -

She is terminal, the ONLY reason to stay. I have lost total respect for John Edwards. But she is a strong woman and she dedicates her life to her kids. Sad that he has taken the rest of their years together away.
-
John Edwards comes across as a lying, cheating, insincere hound dog. He's probably still lying to his wife.
-
Nobody can walk in others shoes. At this time, I would not want
to break up the family, which seems to be his choice, since she knew
about it before he ran for office. He seems like a player to me, but
maybe it was a one time thing, wanting to be with someone healthy for
a while, doesn't mean he doesn't love her. She looks so needy, I
wouldn't want to look at that everyday. I think it is wrong for her to
go public, no matter what anyone already knows. Seems like
making the circuit takes a lot of strength, which supposedly she
doesn't have. I would not want to waste whatever time I have doing
this. Take the time to tell her family why she loves them & what
they mean to her, or get out. I think she has lost lots of support in
the choices she has made. Isn't this going to be nice for her kids
to have access to later on? She is still alive, so live. -
You will never know until you walk in her shoes. Would you cut off your best friend for deceiving you, NO. They have too much history and life together to call it quits. Until Liz knows this is it, she will KNOW
-
He may have been good to her in the past, as he should, but he can't be trusted. Lied more than once to her. I can almost bet he has done it before with other women.
Elizabeth deserves more. -
some of these womens are so weak they do not fight back.and always forgive there lover for this mess.
-
I LOVE THE INSIDER FOR CONTRIBUTING SUCH MATTERS, THE GREATEST OF ALL THIS MATTER IS LOVE & UNDERSTANDING, IF THEY HAVE THIS, THEY CAN HANDLE IT ON THEIR OWN. I WISH THEM GOOD LUCK.
-
SHE DON'T HAVE TO LEAVE HER HUSBAND, IF JOHN REGRETS THEN SHE HAS TO FORGIVE (IF BOTH OF THEM KNOWS GODS WORDS THEN FORGIVE AND FORGET). I GUESS PEOPLE SHOULD STUDY THE WORD OF GOD SO THAT THEY DON'T HAVE TO AGREE OF LEAVING THEIR HUSBANDS.
-
I don't tell adults what to do. I may "suggest" but as I don't know all that is in another's mind, I can't dictate to him or her. So far, she has chosen not to leave him. Therefore, my answer is "No, she should not leave him." Why? Because, #1, she should be trut to herself and "herself" has chosen to stay. Also, because she has a markedly shortened life expectancy and the children will, one too-soon day, have just a father It's best to raise tham and it's best for The children do not need to have yet another life-wreck to deal with, to have as part of their life memory, that "mommy and daddy were divorced." Had he beaten her or something, then, a resounding "Yes" but not just over an affair. When a woman is married and has children, it's no longer just about her. I admire her and really respect her for the self-esteem she has demonstrated in NOT leaving him. His acts don't define her, so a reaction, in the form of leaving him, was not necessary. Only a woman who really doubted herself would have to leave him in this specific circumstance. Those of you who pound on her for not leaving him are just doing further damage to her. Shame on you!!
-
yea without sin cast the first stone.....i don't see many humans hunting stones. Only God can Judge anyone. Like she said, she stayed because she loved her husband. We all make mistakes. Billy Graham said " you cant alter, go back or change the past. It makes us who we are today. Ask yourself, would I cheat if I could get away with it??? If you even had to think about it, then you've how can you say yes. OH and she has cancer and doesn't know how much longer she will live, let her live in love and peace
-
I can't believe I actually supported him in 2004 when he was originally running for president. His wife is battling cancer and he has an affair. What a jerk!
-
if she can forgive and learn to trust him,only God can help her to do that don't rely on yourself along because this is a heart-breaker most of the time deep inside we know something is going on don't want to see it no trust or forgiveness no more love
-
I don't think she should live her husband. The fact that her husband is the father of this girl, whose mother didn't have any morals to prevent her from getting involved with a married man, shouldn't affect her marriage. She already accepted the fact her husband had an affair and she should move on with her life.
-
She shouldn't leave him. The fact that her husband is the father of this baby girl, whose mother didn't have any morals to prevent her from getting involved with a married man, shouldn't change anything. Mrs. Edwards already knew about the affair and she decided to stay with him. She should move on with her live. She should try to work things out for her kids' sake.
-
Absolutely not! I am convinced the mistress had everything figured out. At this point in time women know what to do to prevent a pregnancy from an affair. I know mistakes happen and I don't believe in abortion, however this woman's behavior and everything she has said and her actions make me think that she wanted to have a child and what could be better than having the baby with a wealthy well know politician. I hope Mrs. Edwards stays with her husband and tries to move on.
-
He started all this when he knew she had cancer.. I think he is a very selfish person to do this to Elizabeth at this time in her life. I feel sorry for Elizabeth and their oldest daughter.. I doubt if his oldest daughter has any respect for him. How sad to have a father like him....
-
elizabeth said the baby is not part of her life,but if she stay the baby will be part of her life,and she don't need to be reminded of that.she needs to focus on her health and children.and JOHN shame on you,do you have a HEART.
-
liz,let john go,you find out he's a lady's man,maybe RIELLE HUNTER will find out he's a MAN'S MAN;S.
-
The guy is a dirtbag. The lowest of the lowest. Sure glad he didn't get to be President. Elizabeth, what does it take for you to leave? Split the money and go, NOW. Have respect for yourself, he obviously didn't have respect for you
-
John Edwards is nothing but a "Scumbag". He lied to his wife about the relationship and to the public. In addition, he denied that it was his baby. He carried on an affair and had a baby with another woman while she is seeking treatment with Cancer. What a "Scumbag" this person is. I wonder if he still believes in the TWO America's with his stupid $200. haircut.
-
John Edwards is nothing but a True American, "Scumbag". If she does not get rid of him, than there is something wrong with Elizabeth Edwards... What a Scumbag John Edwards has become....!
