I have been pondering recently, the inequality of marriage, how women are often obligated to stay in a marriage gone sour, and suffer more social criticism as well as financial upheaval when they do leave a relationship. Men are often more financially independent, as well as less socially obligated to stay and care for their children, so they are often more free to leave their marriages. It isn't fair, but few things are.
That being said, Some women do get to make lemonade out of lemons.
Like our friend Jenny Sanford. Her ex Husband, Mark Sanford is the current Governor of South Carolina. She divorced him in March following his very public visit to his mistress in Argentina during which he claimed to be 'hiking the Appalachia trail'. After his affair was discovered, he did not apologize, but instead could not stop talking about his Argentinian Girlfriend.
Jenny Sanford is left with the couples 4 children to raise, and this Friday she is campaigning with Nikki Haley, who is a republican and will challenge Mark Sanford in a primary election later this year. I hope Nikki Haley wins.
