So, Silda Made Him Do It?
As I have been watching and listening to all the media reactions to Elliot Spitzer and his wife Silda, I have been both amazed and intrigued at all the differing opinions being expressed, and at some of the blaming.
Just like I said would happen, last week, some people are putting the blame on Silda. I was particularly surprised about the remarksw Dr. Laura made. She said that when ever a man strays, he is not getting what he needs from his wife.
Putting her judgement on Silda, without knowing what was really going on in the relationship. I don’t know what’s going on either, and maybe I am wrong, but I whole heartedly DISAGREE with Dr Laura.
When do we stop making anyone who does wrong the victim, and insist that they take responsibility for their own actions, their own decisions, and their own life?
Silda may have been a neglectful wife, or she may have been a wonderful wife……but that has absolutely nothing to do with why her husband…..the man who pledged to be faithful to her, was not only unfaithful, but used a prostitute. Having sex with a prostitute is not only stupid, it’s dangerous. He put himself and his family in danger of getting sick (disease from sexual contact).
He spent money (probably not just his own money either !) , and lots of it…..for some sexual (I think it’s more like sick) fun!
And this is Silda’s fault how????
Give me a break!
Dr. Laura, you need to reevaluate your understanding of people, and begin to insist that they take resonsibility for their own decisions and actions.

gasp! someone take responsibility for their own actions! hehe
there’s common sense, did you know this man spent thousands on prostitutes, I mean thousands! I disagree with miss dr lady too but come on….over 10 years of prostitutes and his wife didn’t know? wake up and smell the cheap perfume! It takes two to tangle…it’s both their faults if you ask opinionated me ;p
Ok, enough of that….I’m just visiting from MW blog group and making some rounds and checking out new blogs. Never saw one that devoted things just to the topics of marriages. This is a great idea! It’s kind of an Everybody Loves Raymond in blogland
I’m off to read some more!
