Governor of South Carolina’s Wife: “I Told Him Not to See That Woman”

Posted on June 28th, 2009 - By Bossip Staff

South Carolina’s Governor Mark Sanford has big balls. Not only did he have an affair with another woman, he actually had the nerve to ask his wife if he could go and see her after the affair was revealed. WTF?

South Carolina first lady Jenny Sanford sat in her oceanfront living room Friday, recalling how her husband repeatedly asked permission to visit his lover in the months after she discovered his affair.
“I said absolutely not. It’s one thing to forgive adultery; it’s another thing to condone it,” Jenny Sanford told The Associated Press during a 20-minute interview at the coastal home where she sought refuge with their four sons. They were her first extended comments on the affair.

She said that when her husband, Gov. Mark Sanford, inexplicably disappeared last week, she hoped he was hiking on the Appalachian Trail, as his staff told those who inquired about his absence. That he had dared to go to Argentina to see the other woman left her stunned.

“He was told in no uncertain terms not to see her,” she said in a strong, steady voice. “I was hoping he was on the Appalachian Trail. But I was not worried about his safety. I was hoping he was doing some real soul searching somewhere and devastated to find out it was Argentina. It’s tragic.”

The Sanfords had separated about two weeks ago. She said her husband told the family that he wanted some time away to work on writing a book and clear his head. The first lady said, “I had every hope he was not going to see her.”

“You would think that a father who didn’t have contact with his children, if he wanted those children, he would toe the line a little bit,” she said.

This kind of bullsh*t is why women take men to the cleaners. She has your kids, washes your dirty draws and puts up with your mess and you want her to accept your affair? SMH

I enjoy his music very much. It is wonderful. I find that lots of his fans on__ Richflirts.com __ club for professional athletes, movie stars and millionaires are talking about him. He is a talent.

His death does not mean that he has lost, he is the winner.I wish to express my deepest condolences and sadness at the passing of michael jackson.
mytoehurts 6/28/09, 10:37:AM

Kali's Finest 6/28/09, 10:39:AM

Sorry BOSSIP, but sometimes the PUSSY JUST GETS OLD!!!
GEE 6/28/09, 10:40:AM

Damn shame. Its my understanding that the wife is very rich and she’s running HIS career.

P**** is a powerful thang.
Que 6/28/09, 10:40:AM

Actually, their maid washed his dirty draws.
lol 6/28/09, 10:54:AM

@ Kali’s finest

U think the dick don’t get old? Don’t make me laugh. A man cums 100% of the time unless he holds back but a woman would be lucky if she cums 50% of the time and trust me she trying her endeavor best to do that, lol.

Most women get tired of the same old dick after the first couple years of marriage and for a lot of them sex is just another chore like dropping the kids to school or grocery shopping, so what is your point? Lol quick as she separated from him that should show you right there that she doesn’t mind leaving that old dick behind.
Angee 6/28/09, 10:55:AM

He let his little head do the thinking for him.
Black, Yet Never Incarcerated! 6/28/09, 11:03:AM

Pussy is a powerful thing only to weak minded fools.

Eventually Gov. Sanford will come to his senses and realize he threw away his reputation, marriage, children’s respect and self respect over some whore who lives 8,000 miles away and who is probably screwing one of the local guys on the regular while he is obsessing over their “hot” email correspondence. How can you be stupid enough to leave a paper trail like he did? The chick in Argentina and her local lover are probably lying in bed right now laughing themselves silly at how the stupid gringo made an ass of himself.

Considering what is at stake, I just don’t understand why these guys in high profile positions don’t understand that they must take extreme precautions if they are going to creep.
hhmmm 6/28/09, 11:10:AM

His wife has been the only woman to act with common sense.

I mean Eliot Spitzer’s wife was standing by him like an idiot.
Truth be told 6/28/09, 11:10:AM

This dude was wildin…IDK usually cheating men in power positions are a lil more discrete. LOL, who am I kidding, these fools be getting caught all the time, still don’t learn SMH.

Whenever things like this come to light I always remember something my aunt told me when i was 11 years, she said “A HARD DICK HAS NO CONSCIENCE”.

I always thought she was a lil out there but she put my lil young ass on to some game. As I got older I realized that this is certified.
Candid Canuck 6/28/09, 11:12:AM

@ BYNI!

“Considering what is at stake, I just don’t understand why these guys in high profile positions don’t understand that they must take extreme precautions if they are going to creep.”

cuz the headlines mean more than to harbour the guilt…….
Truth be told 6/28/09, 11:15:AM

@ Black, yet never incarcerated

Lol, its not his fault.

The Blood flow to his penis interfered with the blood flow to his brain…

this is a medical fact. LOL
Kami All Day 6/28/09, 11:18:AM

Yeah, pussy is powerful, but men are always easily persuaded. It doesnt matter if they had the best looking girl in the world.

Men are greedy, period.

Are all those boys in the picture his?

SMH

I feel sorry for them that this is the example of how a man’s actions should be.

And to the retard who said pussy gets old…we know from that statement that:

1) You are a little boy
2) Your mind is not yet mature enough to look past sex as being the sole importance in a relationship.
3) And you probably have never been in a relationship that meant something, period.

Too bad, so sad for you.

Hell, I would let him go see his lover in Argentina, NO PROBLEM!

I’m just taking every-blooclot-ting! Including the kids……

Tell her to take care of you.
DJ's MOM 6/28/09, 11:22:AM

Before I was married, I too would be judgmental about people that committed adultery. Then, I got married…
Butterscotch 6/28/09, 11:36:AM

@ Kami All Day

Yep, all those boys in the pic are his sons. His wife ran all his Senate and gubernatorial campaigns, and still had time to have 4 kids for him. And then he takes off to see his sidepiece on Father’s Day weekend?!?

I understand her wanting to salvage the marriage, but it takes two people to do that. Anybody who watched that press conference (where he apologized to the mistress BEFORE the wife and kids) knows he’s not trying to work things out with his wife.

Seems like her best option is to focus on her kids and divorce his self-involved ass. But she’s probably not quite ready to do that (emotionally, mentally).
lol 6/28/09, 11:40:AM

@ DJ’s Mom

Sounds like you stopped given the good good to DJs dad and he strayed or was it you who stepped out? Did your love life fizzle like most married folK? No need to answer if its too personal.
Kami All Day 6/28/09, 11:45:AM

@DJ’s MOM:

Well, maybe you should get a divorce then so your spouse wont believe that you are a honest, and loyal person.

This way you can save that hurt and pain you’d cause, as well as limit the amount of STD’s you may catch by sleeping with both parties.

The creep that you’re creeping on your spouse with is creeping also.
lol 6/28/09, 11:48:AM

@ Black,

he has four sons so all of them are not going to handle it the exactly the same way but the determining factor as to whether they will recognize that what their father did was wrong or just accept is as something natural is whether or not their mother stays. If she does, they will more than likely believe that this ok, or maybe not ok but not so bad cuz the family won’t break up because of it.
Kami All Day 6/28/09, 11:50:AM

@Butterscotch:

Sad, too. She did ALOT and them he goes out to find some other women who is pretty much a nice cum bucket. What, her tits are perkier? Her ass is more firm?

I’m sure Mrs. Sanford wasnt looking at a six-pack, with a 8 inch dick at night, neither.

But the kind of woman she is, the girl from Argentina is probably not. Most likely she is a young airhead who is used to luring men in (who are married with real obligations) to help her secure some financial stability.

Have fun taking care of a baby, Mr. Sanford. You left a real woman to take care of some young pussy.

Ah, men are dumb.
Kami All Day 6/28/09, 11:52:AM

SHAMAR FROM THE M-TOWN 6/28/09, 12:54:PM

point blank these so called first ladies are stuck up and dont do much when it cames to bedroom activties its not that the pussy or the dick is old these women are not freaking they man like they should. all these politicans thats cheating get caught when thay want to get caught. how you gone tell a man not to go see another women and she not handling her businessin the bedroom? everyone can tell that obama and his wife have a great sex life. these guys have all the money and all the power but cant git they wives to get freaky with them every once in a while.Everyone knows the old saying:What your woman at home wont do one in the streets will!
lol 6/28/09, 01:10:PM

@ DJ’s mom,

Yeah I know, DJ’s dad gat that average sex that most guys have but they just don’t know it. Every once in a while its great but most of the time its just alright so you not always that excited cause you know there’s no much mental work you gat to do to get ready to have sex with this dude and yall married now so he don’t fuck you like he trying to blow your mind every time like he used to.

And it wouldn’t even be so bad if he didn’t wanta sex all the time, if you could just suck his dick and he’d go away but men are so damn persistent. LOL. And they always want they dick sucked…so u give in, duck it real good for him and you think you’ve done your part and he’s gonna be satisfied with that but nope! He always wants you to suck it more, he always wanta fuck again. If you say no, you’re the bad guy, if you say yeah and you’re not that into it, you hurt his pride cause you’re not gonna put as much effort into faking it this time.

I bet it was you who fell off on the love making side…when its like that most women realize that they contributed to him going outside the marriage but is it really that bad cause atleast he doesn’t bother you as much right? lol.

Either way, DJ’s dad just not hitting it right on a consistent basis and that may have left the door open for you to seek out Mr. Joe Grinds to satisfy your own needs. Am I warm on this or completely cold?
lol 6/28/09, 01:13:PM

@ shamar

If a woman being stingy as possible with the sex or not giving a man any at all its because she doesn’t like sleeping with him. Period. All penises are not created equal.
jandsmama 6/28/09, 01:16:PM

@hhmmm
I agree. I have a lot of respect for how Mrs. Sanford is handling everything.
SHAMAR FROM THE M-TOWN 6/28/09, 01:29:PM

@lol didnt say she was stingy i said she not getting freaky. u rt all penies are not equal but she married that one. she should have been taken care of it regardless. i love women but they crazy sometimes. u dont want him of want to fuck him but they dont want nobody eles to do it. a real man not gone sit there for years gettng pussy once or twice a year he gone git something on the side . to all the young ladies out there i dont care how old you get do not stop fucking and sucking yo man HE WILL LEAVE YOU! when she first found out about that woman she should have been fucking that dude till his dick raw and keep that shit going on a regular basis i bet that dude would have really been on that hiking trail instead of out trying to git some
DJ's MOM 6/28/09, 01:55:PM

@lol – I got to go. LOL!
lol 6/28/09, 02:13:PM

@ Shamar,

i love women but they crazy sometimes. u dont want him of want to fuck him but they dont want nobody eles to do it.

I gatta cosign with this, makes no damn sense. If you ain’t willing to put in the work don’t get mad when dude strays. But as you can see from Dj’s mom’s post, she said she understands, she not trippin lol, even though she trying to get the hell out of town right now. I think I hit a lil too close to home but its all god mama, such is life.

The mistake we make as women sometimes is underestimating how important sex is first to us and to our husbands. We meet a guy who has an excellent personality, good character provider and everything but he’s wack in the sack so we say, Its ok, I can work with this…but they don’t realize that they’re stuck with that lame dick for life and not only that he wants you to worship his lame dick, lol. It sounds shallow to say marry if the sex is good but if it ain’t, please reconsider.
Freaks On Myspace 6/28/09, 02:18:PM

i dont care about him messing with another woman, just dont get MARRIED and do it. Be single, fuck all the girls you want, but you know…….they won’t elect you governor if you don’t have a family.
SHAMAR FROM THE M-TOWN 6/28/09, 02:34:PM

@lol i dont know why people think that sex is not a big part of a relationship. u rt i work with alot of women and i hear all the time i love him he a good provider he good with the kids but no matter what i do he cant fuck worth a damn thats why i got some dick in the side i just look and shake my head you got kids married this person and he cant satify you? now tell me who fault is that?
Nicole 6/28/09, 02:40:PM

@SHAMAR

I have to ask if you’re from Memphis, because your logic sounds like the bullshit the men are on here in Memphis. If you’re not from Memphis please let me know where, so I know never to move there and try to find a decent respectable man with integrity. People like you love to jump to conclusions, when ANY body with a brain knows that a woman can hang from chandeliers and do everything in her power to keep a man, and sometimes, IT JUST WONT WORK. Such a shame, you know nothing of what goes on in their bedroom but are quick to judge the woman.
Further, if a woman is not having sex with her man, there is something wrong there and she is likely feeling disconnected. Problems occur in marriages. Its THEIR job and vow before God that they would work on them…not fly to another country to release sexual frustration. Lastly, the lameness that is the line “what one woman wont do, another one will” ceases to have any relevancy once MARRIED. If he was so in need, then he should have been a man, wrapped up his marriage and then proceeded with his relationship with the other woman.
sweetga 6/28/09, 02:45:PM

THIS CHICK GOT A LITTLE SOUL IN HER TO. IF YOU NOTICE HE HAD TO DAMN LIE AND SAY HE WRITING A BOOK HE NEED TO CLEAR HIS HEAD. YEAH RIGHT!! HE’S AN IDIOT TO SHOW THAT TYPE OF EXAMPLE TO 4 BOYS. NOW HOW MUCH DO YOU WANT TO BET THAT AT LEAST ONE OF THOSE KIDS IS GONNA BE AFFECTED NEGATIVELY!!!IDIOT IDIOT IDIOT. BUT THESE POLITICIANS ALWAYS DOIN STUFF LIKE THIS AND HE JUST GOT CAUGHT> HE IS A DAMN IDIOT APOLOGIZING TO EVERYBODY. AND I HOPE SHE WAS WORTH IT WITH YOU SORRY AZZ!!!!
Butterscotch 6/28/09, 02:49:PM

@Freaks on Myspace

I have to agree with you. If you know you like a lot of variety, just don’t get married. Just stay single so you can have your lay of the land. Don’t get married and have four children with someone when you knew it wasn’t the right lifestyle for you…because 5 people’s lives have now been irrevocably changed because you could not be honest about what you really wanted. Something tells me this is not the first time he’s cheated…just the first time he’s gotten caught.

She can’t keep her man in check,(satisfied), that’s too bad…But na, Getting mad is a waste of good energy, throw him out like yesterday’s garbage and concentrate on raising your kids…

(when divorcing for adultery, be advised that you can sue in a court of law, for ‘alienation of affection’ and it is applicable to the party that causd the infidelity (the hubby and mistress)…

you get caught, you lose

best bet b an adult, if you don;t want to gbe married anymore, get a divorce, but this is ridiculous, like no one would find out…

STUPID MAN… lmao… I wonder if it was worth his career, marriage and relationship with his kids….

The things that happens when the little head thinks for the big one…

I agree. And the crazy thing is, one of two things will probably happen if he leaves his wife for good:

1) the mistress will no longer be excited by having a covert “boyfriend” that is married to someone else, prompting her to move on to her next mark; OR
2) he will get bored with the sidepiece, and do the same thing to her that he did to his wife

As for him creeping on Father’s Day weekend. That is very SAD and his reputation is done, all that right wing moral crap is done. He is just like more than 50% of the other people in high power in this country. I hope he realizes it wasn’t worth it as his world crumbles around him.

@ Slide, sounds like she was a good campaign manager, doesn’t mean she

was holding him down in the bedroom feel me.

You know as a man u need some good sex in your life to relieve the

tension. He could have hired a campaign manager once she take care of her

bedroom duties, instead he had to hire so Argentinian coochie.

All these independent working women need to realize all a nigga really

want from a woman is some good as nuckie on the regular. Everything else

a nigga could hire help for. Can’t ever slack on the bedroom duties. Soon

as you do, that nigga is outta there.

Oh yeah, pussy is a powerful thing known to topple governments and bring grown azz men to their knees.
What most men usually find alluring is the conquest of new pussy. But, do most of the women feel the same way ? probably not but, if most women thaught like most men no relationship would be safe.
