Self-Help for the Wronged Woman

The New York Times' Maureen Dowd wrote a funny and instructive piece for women who find themselves married to adulterous male politicians (sure have been a lot of them lately; makes me wonder if female politicians are equally adulterous but smarter about not getting caught).

Some tips from Maureen:

"Skip the press conference, especially when your husband is copping to call girls, gay pickups in airport bathrooms or �tragic� and �forbidden� telenovela-style love stories. Stoicism at the skunk�s side is overrated and, as Larry Craig�s wife learned, sunglasses don�t help."

"High-powered women like Hillary, Elizabeth and Jenny who give up their careers to focus on their husbands� ambitions feel doubly betrayed. But it�s not your husband�s fault if you sacrifice more for the relationship than he does. Like an investor in a down market, you took a risk without a guarantee it would pay off. If you make your husband your career and you lose your husband, you lose your career, too."
