I am a decent guy, never cheated in the slightest, yet like many guys, I have trouble even getting a date, or finding a relationship with a woman who doesn't complain about the simplest thing. I get yelled at for not doing the dishes or taking out the trash.
Yet Weiner can manage to be in a sexting relationship, sending and receiving nude pics, yet his wife stands by him proudly, supporting him every step of the way. I could never even imagine doing something like that, let alone deserving to get away with it.
Life just isn't fair.

Does anyone think that were his career to go into the toilet, she'd dump him like yesterday's newspaper?

I don't feel bad for his wife - or question her choices. For women - matters of the heart are never easy choices.
But every day, intelligent, beautiful, accomplished women who don't really know THEMSELVES and their own flaws - get sucked into a relationship with their EQUAL ENERGY.
The first time she forgave him - that was love. Was she the victim of the bad behavior in the relationship? Who knows.
But a second time?
She no longer gets to complain or be upset. She's volunteering.
And for the record - the first time he imploded? Well - to his wife - My friend: What you permit you promote.
So OP - maybe it speaks to the quality of person you are that you draw to yourself women with high expectations. P.S. Holding the door open for your date/girlfriend/wife goes a lot of way towards getting you out of the dog house when you don't put your glass in the dishwasher (clean as you go). At least that's the way it works in my house.
