In a very personal post on his Facebook detailing his latest spat with his former spouse, South Carolina Rep. Mark Sanford announced that he and his mistress turned fiancee, Maria Belen Chapur, a woman he once called his 'soul mate,' have called off their wedding plans.

''No relationship can stand forever this tension of being forced to pick between the one you love and your own son or daughter, and for this reason Belen and I have decided to call off the engagement,' Sanford wrote.

'Maybe there will be another chapter when waters calm with Jenny, but at this point the environment is not conducive to building anything given no one would want to be caught in the middle of what’s now happening,' he said, referring to accusations levied against him in court last month by his ex-wife.

Miss Soulmate probably decided to hit the road.

This guy needs a reality show like Honey Boo Boo not a seat in Congress.

The article fails to mention that Miss Soulmate was also married, although separated and was entertaining a longtime paramour (besides Mark) when the affair became public. In fact, I thinkit was her boyfriend who made the affair public in an attempt to win Miss Soulmate for him.

There is plenty of blame to go around.

Mark Sanford: STD chaser.

You have to wonder about a guy who posts about his private life on Facebook the way a 17 year old girl would.

To paraphrase another Freeper (whose name escapes me) when discussing the John Edwards fiasco:

"Sex, the dumbest force in the Universe."

Bingo!!!!

She rubbed his forehead with a dime and the word loser appeared.

Not to worry. DC is a non stop party on the taxpayers dime. He will have all kinds of young hot babes throwing themselves at him. To get a taste of that ultimate aphrodisiac called power.

In House of Cards (the documentary) Kevin Spacey ranks power as number one in DC. Above money and sex

No pressure, kids. But it’s all your fault.

I know, how about not airing your personal laundry on facebook.

Juvenile.

“You have to wonder about a guy who posts about his private life on Facebook the way a 17 year old girl would.”

You have to wonder about a piece of neo-Nazi trash like your New York senator, Schumer, who is trying to strip Americans of their 2nd amendment civil rights.

Now that’s a good one. LOL

"Sex, the dumbest force in the Universe."

That's genius.

From his Facebook post:
“Sanford said he had tried to turn the other cheek, as commanded in the Bible, but recently discovered that ‘I cannot do this anymore.’
‘In all life there comes a point wherein lines must be drawn in the way that we attempt to respond in ways that don’t invite more in the way of conflict and add more in the way of modeling Christ’s humility in giving in every instance.
‘I’ll never get that mix right, none of us do,’ he said, ‘but I believe it’s what we are to pursue in all of our responses to the inevitable reality of conflict in our lives.’

Wow! What a saint we have here! What humility and righteousness are in our very midst! (never-mind that he committed adultery, abandoned his vows to his wife and constituents, put his adulterous girlfriend ahead of his own children and continues to be excessively passive aggressive, blaming his wife for all the stress in his life.) What a gem!

LOL!!!!

[dfwgator]

What a shock. /s

If someone cheats on somebody with you, they are eventually going to cheat on you.

-— Wow! What a saint we have here! What humility and righteousness are in our very midst! -—

My guess is he’s trying to convince himself as much as anyone else.

He needs to hike all of the major US trails.
