Miss Soulmate probably decided to hit the road.

[KC Burke]

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

[afraidfortherepublic]

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.

[CaptainK]

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

[Paradox]

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

"Sex, the dumbest force in the Universe."

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

[dennisw]

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

[Prospero]

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

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

Juvenile.

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!

What a shock. /s

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

'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,

Such poetry. Lemme guess .... he's a politician?!?!

GOOD GRIEF.

[elpadre]

long engagement - is she presently in this country?

[Vendome]

“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,’ ”.

Yeah, it was probably a very exciting relationship when it was ilicit.

Now, that you tried to make it regular it probably lost its luster and attractions.

[MasterGunner01]

And why, exactly, should I care what Mark Sanford and his Argentine mistress do? He's toast politically, divorced, disgraced, and now without a soul-mate. Poor, poor Mark — I guess it sucks to be you?

[twister881]

Next, Sanford will be picked up in L’Enfant Plaza soliciting homo sex. That, or the live boy / dead girl in his bed option.

[Joe 6-pack]

"No relationship can stand forever this tension of being forced to pick between the one you love and your own son..."

This is taking the reboot meme entirely too far...

[Pollster1]

Why do I get the feeling that the GOP insiders are grooming this loser for the 2020 election (after 2016’s loss by Romney, Bush, Christie, or whatever RINO they decide we should be compelled to support in two years). If he didn’t keep his word to his wife, I’m not trusting him to keep his word to me or to our country.

[Nevadan]

Re: ‘’No relationship can stand forever this tension of being forced to pick between the one you love and your own son or daughter”

This IS the problem with this narcissist. He has thought all along that he should be able to put his bimbo girlfriend whom he loves ahead of his children. She and his sex life have been the priority in his life. His children are much farther down on the list.

[greene66]

I have such a low opinion of this guy. He might share most of my political views, but I find him a really sickeningly pathetic character. Can never forget his press conferences, in which he came across not as a man, but as some kind of self-absorbed, emo-type teenage girl. Really made my skin crawl.
