Influential men who cheat on their wives

BO is no more moral than MLK and some others.
It wouldn't surprise me one bit if he has cheated in the past.
Politicians are a special brand of people.

If he did I could no doubt separate that from his politics.

What say you bhm? Does a woman need to suck it up and deal with her mans philandering ways if he's important just for the greater good? And does their infidelity make you lose respect for them and their cause? Lmks.

i don't see how a woman ignoring her husband's cheating ways can be for the greater good. what about the damage it does the their relationship, physically, emotionally, even medically (diseases)? what about the damage it does to his family? what good is that leader to other people if he can't keep his family straight? and more importantly, what about the damage it does to the woman? that often gets lost

yes, their infidelity makes me lose respect for them. part of it is putting them so high on a pedestal that we forget that they are human with human fallacies. i remember being really upset when i found out that mlk cheated...i thought he was so above that.

if barack ever cheated on michelle, i would be devastated.

i haven't read that thread yet, but i'm about to

This what I'm saying. Like I kinda find it strange how people expect women to just put on a smile through some bullsh*t. Like I think Eddie Long is still married. False perceptions are so important to some people.

This thread has so many facets to it.

It's not black and white
