Mistresses and Affairs

I read the Rielle Hunter full interview for GQ magazine just now. The whole 10-page article gave me mixed feelings. At one point, I felt sorry that she's this woman who's blinded by the affair and would do and say anything for her man. Pages after, I was outraged by what she's saying about Mrs. Edwards. Then I go back to pity and start all over again.

There should be a guide book for mistresses on how they should deal with the wife issue. Rule number 1 - Never bad mouth the wife in public, unless she is this evil, devil-worshiping villain the people sees. Rule number 2 - Being humble and apologetic wouldn't hurt.

Ms. Hunter was never apologetic in her tone. She was blasting Mrs. Edwards for how she treated John and etc. She said she wasn't a home-wrecker, that they had problems even before she was in the picture. Maybe so, but they also weren't divorced yet then. So there's also a reason why they were still together.

She also seems blinded by her own delusions of some sort. That's my take on her. Or maybe I'm biased because I don't like mistresses who think they can flaunt their affairs.

What's the point in all these? I don't know. All I know is I'm one of those people who upon reading her story did not like her or will ever do.
