South Carolina first lady Jenny Sanford says she tried many times to reconcile with Gov. Mark Sanford after his affair with an Argentine mistress he famously called his "soul mate." Ultimately, the first lady filed for divorce.
The decision revealed Friday came two days after state lawmakers stopped short of recommending her husband's removal from office for a top-secret June rendezvous with Maria Belen Chapur.
Jenny Sanford, a former Wall Street executive who helped launch her husband's political career, said Friday their 20-year marriage could not be repaired.
"I am still dedicated to keeping the process that lies ahead peaceful for our family," she said in a brief statement.

How Much Money Can Tiger Woods's Wife, Elin, Expexct to Take back to Sweeden in case of a Divorce?
Many industry insiders and pro golfers are talking about all the money that Elin can stand to make in the case of a divorce. In addition, she can take her kids to Sweden. Tiger would still have to pay child support and alimony. She may be trying to reconcile or give her husband a second chance. Is she doing the Jenny Sanford's thing?
We all know that Tiger may have had a prenuptial. We also know that he made lots of money from his Tiger Inc and product endorsement. Elin can have half of what he made during the duration of the marriage. That would be a huge junk of cash.
After trying hard to make it the accident look like a crash, Tiger finally broke down and confessed. He wrote about his sins, transgressions and infidelity on www.tigerwoods.com.
Has he done enough to ask for forgiveness in the light of all the women he had extramarital relationships with?

The Other Woman, OW, In Movies and Real Life: The Home Wrecker, the Man Stealer or the One who is not good enough to Loved Exclusively
The Other Woman, OW, In Movies and Real Life: The Home Wrecker, the Man Stealer or the One who is not good enough to Loved Exclusively
What are the images of the other woman in your head? They may not be what you thought. What are the images of the other man in your head? The calculating predator who moves in on happily coupled men. Our society usually talks about the other woman as the mistress, the jewelry, diamond-draped female who is wearing the latest fashion and driving the latest car model. The other woman can be the office sexpot who is always too close to your guy at the company's functions, party and celebration. The other woman has been a staple of movies, novels, tabloids, blogs and history books. Who does not remember Emma in Madame Bovary? Who can forget about Eliot Spitzer's hotel call girl, J.F.K's Marilyn Monroe purring "Happy Birthday, Mr. President? It was a well-publicized rumor.
The idea of borrowing or stealing another woman's man is unthinkable for most people. Believe it or not, the OW remains an object of fascination all throughout history. The questions that many researchers, ministers and pastors are asking are as follows: Why does she do it? Is it just because she can? Is it a question of power? Does she want to get caught? How does it feel to be her?
The other woman learns to inflict damage on herself, her kids, partner. In all, she is destroying her own life and future. The other woman has stories of heartbreak. They rattle other women's life and social positions.
Some good examples from our contemporaries:
Camilla Parker Bowles, in 1975, was with Prince Charles during his marriage to Di. This was one of the most recent and famous cases of other woman of mystery.
It has been rumored that these people started as such:
Liz Taylor and Richard Burton; Marla Maples & Donald Trump; Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt; Ali Macgraw and Steve McQueen; Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott; Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart, Cindy and John McCain; Abbie Cornish and Ryan Phyillippe, Ingrid Bergman and Roberto Rossellini.

Audition: Star Jones Filed for Divorce from Banker Husband; Barbara Walters Had illicit Affair with Married Brooke
In Walters' new memoir, "Audition," she discusses how Jones wouldn't acknowledge her gastric bypass surgery on the air. She also writes about Jones' lavish wedding, which wound up alienating viewers as Jones accepted gifts in return for promotion.
"It is a sad day when an icon like Barbara Walters, in the sunset of her life, is reduced to publicly branding herself as an adulterer, humiliating an innocent family with accounts of her illicit affair and speaking negatively against me all for the sake of selling a book. It speaks to her true character," Jones told Us Weekly magazine.
Jones' publicist, Brad Zeifman, said Jones wouldn't comment further.
Walters reveals in the book that she had a past affair with married U.S. Sen. Edward Brooke that lasted several years in the 1970s.
The details about Jones are less juicy, but shed light on what happened behind the scenes on "The View" when Jones refused to publicly acknowledge the gastric bypass surgery she had in 2003.
Walters says Jones, who'd dropped 160 pounds in three years, changed her mind after telling Walters she'd talk about the procedure on the program. Walters says she didn't want to be the "poster child" for the procedure.
"I understood that, but it put us all in a terrible position," Walters writes. "It meant we virtually had to lie for Star, especially when she said again and again on the air that her weight loss was due primarily to portion control and Pilates. ... Joy (Behar), in particular, resented having to go along with the lie that implied that all one needed to do was sit-ups and ingest one cookie instead of two."
Jones confirmed her surgery last year in a first-person essay in Glamour magazine. She said she "was scared of what people might think," and "ashamed at not being able to get (herself) under control without this procedure."

What's Up with Divorce These Days? How to Survive Divorce Without Anger and with Money in your Bank Account
How to Survive Divorce Without Anger and with Money in your Bank Account
(by Ronald Dobbs, edited by jjc)
There is no doubt that divorce is a messy business. Unfortunately, most couples do their best to make it even messier. Unlike a wedding, you will be going through a range of negative emotions during a divorce. It may seem as if there is no end in sight. That is what I found out after 18 years of marriage. My ex-wife decided to call it quits. She was ready to meet other people and start her new life as soon as she could. Even before we could sort out the whole mess, bills, debt, child custody with child support, she was ready to start a new life with a new man on the ruins of our relationship.
But divorce does not need to be too stressful. The divorcing couple may take a few steps back and look at the positives of the relationship: the good years they had, the travel they did together, the beautiful kids they brought to the world, and so many other memories. While the credit card debt and mortgage loans may not be all fun, the joy of buying a first home and a second one can be counted as pleasurable moments during the span of the marriage. No matter how soon the divorce takes place, joint decisions will have to be made if the divorcing couple had children.
In my own case, I have found it easier to have an amicable divorce by having a lawyer work out the terms of the divorce settlement. Dueling lawyers have a tendency to pit you against the parent of your kids. For the right fees, they are able to do anything you ask of them. While going through the charged emotions and anger, you may have cause more damage in a short time than in all of your years of being married. What any party should do is to concentrate on the positive and look at the larger picture. Disregard any third party such as a new partner or family member who may want to butt in. On some occasions, children may want to take sides and cause all kinds of trouble. The divorce is not happening between you and all these people. It is happening between you and your ex. Eventually, these people will get over it. They have no vested interests as the two of you do.
Be willing to divide the community property. Everything must be divided 50-50. Inheritance and large gifts will be exempt. If any of the parties have received some inheritance or some personal gifts, then they stay with the recipient. House, cars, and furniture can be equally divided.
Charged with negative emotions, most divorcing couples may want to resort to a sort of legal arms race. Avoid it at all course! In the end, it will hurt both of you. Accepting to negotiate a settlement is a much cheaper way to go about things. This way, more money will be left in your pocket.
What kind of attitudes to sport after the divorce?
Be ready to tackle and solve the issues. Use enough goodwill. Now that you are engaged in the raising of your kids, just know that you will someday need her to do you a favor. Be considerate and offer to help. By definition, you have the first right of refusal when it comes to childcare. Before your ex decides to drop the kids with a family member or friend, he/she must be offered the opportunity to have them. As much as possible, put the bad blood behind you. Focus on the kids who may go through their own range of emotions. Many issues will come up. You will have to deal with discipline, teenage romances, disappointing report cards, cell phone use, bills, curfews, illness and hospitalization. Conserve your energy to deal with those important issues.
Remember that no matter what you may have been told, going through a divorce is a life-changing event. Do not try to resist change. It must take place. All you have to do is to go with the flow. Now get ready to rebuild and get on with your life. After all, until you go through a divorce, you may never know that you can survive it. The range of emotions may cloud your mind for some time. Take some time off to figure out the constructive steps you must take from now on.
