Infidelity: Is It Really John Edwards’ Baby and Can You Forgive Cheating?
Q: Do you think John Edwards really is the dad of that woman’s baby? And do you think someone can be forgiven for something like that?
Mia: Well, if I were Elizabeth Edwards, I think John’s clothes would have been out the upstairs window a long time ago. But that’s the thing about marriage — you never know what’s happening inside someone else’s. So the truth is, some marriages survive infidelities, some don’t. And there really isn’t a right way to handle it.
Steve: I doubt we will ever see a paternity test. The decision to keep the marriage together has to be a joint effort and it appears Elizabeth is willing to give him a second chance and he’s willing to behave himself after realizing he was on an ego trip.
