Elizabeth: Affair Caused 'Excruciating Anguish'

0813edwards.jpg

John Edwards continues to endure a media thrashing as new reports claim that the former senator actually restarted his affair with Hunter after telling his wife about the tryst. His wife Elizabeth recently told People magazine about how she pushed John to come clean about his infidelity, how it caused "excruciating anguish" -- and why they haven't told the kids.

People's Sandra Sobieraj-Westfall tells "Extra" that the couple hasn't broken the news to their youngest tots, Emma Clair, 10 and Jack, 8 -- and that Elizabeth's decisions are "guided by the reality that her children will one day no longer have a mother."

"The truth is that people deal with the struggles that come at them as they come at them," Mrs. Edwards told "Extra" in 2006, when her breast cancer was in remission. "You can't control the timing."

Her profile and photos were found on the millionaire/celebs dating club “ AffluentMeet.com ”not long before! “She is very picky about guys,” according to officials of that site, “they have to be fertile douches or she won’t date them!”

i understand her point of view. Knowing that you don’t have much time to live you want to spend the time you have left with your family. On the otherhand she is in so much pain she needs to get away and live the time she has left w/ her children. I am 100% against infidelity especially if its ongoing infidelity, John is acting like he doesn’t care his wife is going thru breast cancer. She needs to leave him and enjoy her time w/ family members that do love her and her children. She needs to be away from the papparazzi and her husband especially. He is such a bastard and he needs to remember karma is three time as worse. Poor Elizabeth she’s getting the country’s sympathy but she doesn’t need that. She’s strong and i would definately be filling for divorce paper and securing my children’s future ut not sharing my bed w/ my cheating husband.
