Weiner’s Wife Is PREGNANT

[Segami]

:smoke: :smoke:


Their marriage has become the subject of intense speculation and scrutiny amid an embarrassing online sex scandal. Now, Representative Anthony D. Weiner and Huma Abedin are about to make news of a different kind: they are expecting their first child.

Ms. Abedin, 35, is in the early stages of pregnancy, according to three people with knowledge of the situation. The pregnancy, which the couple has disclosed to close friends and family, adds a new dimension to questions about the future of their marriage.

Mr. Weiner, 46, who has admitted to engaging in salacious online conversations with at least six women over the last few years, has declared that he and his wife have no intention of splitting up, even though some of the exchanges occurred during their marriage.

1. THEY have some serious decisions to make.

But none of it relates to his voting record.

[Segami]

6. I find his actions selfish for conducting himself in such a manner while his wife was pregnant.

[sabrina 1]

60. I think that's HER business! n/t

[PufPuf23]

66. Weiner posts are taking up way too much space at DU. But will comment.

Very much her business and, unlikely, but maybe she knew and did not care.

If she knew beforehand and was OK -- I could not live this --, fine.
Otherwise, I find Weiner creepy and far beyond my (what many would consider Atheist) limits would be able to maintain in a committed relationship, much less one with biological children.

This is my first Wiener post.

Weiner posts are taking up way too much space at DU.

62. I think she has some serious decisions to make.

2. Holy sh*t

Poor woman. I hope the stress doesn't harm her.

74. A healthy apple doesn't fall out of the tree

I'm sure that she will be just fine.

[krabigirl]

3. Not our business.

[Lionessa]

8. +10000

[Maat]

10. Well ...

I just send some healing consciousness their way (i.e. prayed), and wished them the best - in terms of getting through these challenging times.

[MrMickeysMom]

30. ditto!

[WinkyDink]

40. For Pete's sake. Is this your response to every single item of human interest?

[namahage]

48. No, just the ones whose last names don't rhyme with "Gobama."

Pretty obvious what the response would be then.

[Whisp]

58. if he is elected to do serious work in office then it's everyone's business

would rather be hearing important stuff than talking aobut his ugly dick, wouldn't you?

[JI7]

5. Congrats to them

[Taverner]

7. Fuckall, when it rains it pours no?

[KittyWampus]

9. Congratulations to Huma. I hope things work out for the best. Marriage isn't easy.

[Enrique]

11. i'm running out of ways to say who cares

who cares if Weiner's wife is pregnant? Who cares??????????

[mopinko]

13. +1

[seabeyond]

21. i feel empathy for a woman first time preg, early stages. i care. it matters. and as a dem i

would think that would be the natural way to go

[MrMickeysMom]

31. Don't look at me...

I was hoping that we could talk about the cost of health care...

[Bluebear]

36. You're all heart aren't you? You don't think she is devastated personally?

I don't think that Weiner's dalliances affect his ability to serve, but to say you don't care about the wife's sensibilities in this situation is cold, man.

[Enrique]

38. never mind

Good grief.

64. Do you think slamming her husband online will help

her mental health? We know nothing about their relationship. Not that that will stop people from judging it.

I hope they remain happily married and that they can get on with their lives without Peeping Toms peering in their windows, virtually or otherwise.

I also hope he remains in Congress and I feel certain the people of NY will reelect him as the American people tend to not particularly like witch hunts as the Clinton and Rangel episodes demonstrated.

If she loves her husband, nothing would hurt her more than to see some of the comments on the left about him.

[seabeyond]

71. do you think she is online to see what people are saying about her husband?

[Liberal_in_LA]

14. Lots of newsclippings to save for the child

[snooper2]

15. Now he's going to have another little weiner to worry about

:rofl:

[seabeyond]

16. fucker.... dont mess with preg women. fucker. nt

[ecstatic]

17. If true, he's done

There are levels of betrayal and being cheated on while pregnant ranks near the top (I think the top would be if one of his porn buddies announced that she is pregnant too).

[Segami]

24. Or under age. The little head told the big head what to do and he complied.

[Beacool]

45. When the little head does the thinking,

there´s never enough oxygen going to the big head.

:eyes:

[Cali_Democrat]

28. "being cheated on while pregnant"

Nonsense. Sending pictures of yourself over the net is not cheating on your spouse.

[Mojorabbit]

29. He had phone sex with one of the women

and I consider that cheating.

[ergot]

52. Would you do it with your spouse watching over your shoulder?

hm?

[nadinbrzezinski]

19. And this is my business exactly how?

[Kaleva]

69. Because you alone decided to make it your business.

[arcane1]

20. Has it been confirmed that they are not in an open relationship?

I assume most politicians are :shrug:

[seabeyond]

26. seeing how he promised he would stop this before marriage, and apologized to her for the pain he

caused her now, i would say....

no

[cbdo2007]

33. that's a PR move

I'm not guessing either way, but his speech was crafted by PR people to try to save his career. It wouldn't help his career to say he was in an open marriage.

[seabeyond]

34. so, you arent guessing, it is a fact, a pr move, though you dont know. i heard the words he says

if he is lying, own it. if it is his word, then there you go, what we have to go off of. you are guessing and stating it as a fact. i am listening to what he says

piss poor pr move if that was their choice.

[cbdo2007]

57. I didn't say it was a fact, these are all opinions here.

That's my opinion is that he has a team of 20 people who are formulating and crafting everything he does/says now so that he can keep his current job and get elected again.

[EFerrari]

27. I just don't understand how people think they can know what happens

in a marriage that they're not in. :shrug:

[Cali_Democrat]

22. Congratulations, Mrs. Weiner

[cherish44]

23. Well now we've all seen his dick and we know that it works too...

25. CNN: Weiner calls Bill Clinton

TRENDING: Weiner calls Bill Clinton

(CNN)- Embattled Democratic Rep. Anthony Weiner called former President Bill Clinton Monday to express regret for his actions, CNN has confirmed.

A source familiar with the call would not characterize it in more detail and called it a private conversation.

<...>

Weiner's wife, Huma Abedin, serves as Secretary Hillary Clinton's chief-of-staff and is well-liked in Democratic circles. The former president officiated at the couple's wedding, and he and the Secretary of State have been extremely close with Huma for years.

Democratic sources say Weiner has made many calls to colleagues and supporters over the last few days. At the same time, pressure has been building for the congressman to resign.

[marions ghost]

37. The Clintons

should be able to counsel them well... :evilgrin: I hope they help him hang on. But I would like to see his wife ask him to get into counseling immediately. Sex addiction can be helped. And contrary to logic, he can still be very much in love with his wife even while he goes in for online flashing.

[Beacool]

43. If this is true, I feel even worse for Huma.

It should have been such a happy time for her. Married almost a year and expecting her first child.

Why are so many men such JERKS???????

I wish her and the baby nothing but the best.

:(

[marlakay]

32. Like someone said on another blog

Times have changed and we have to realize everything we do online, all emails, etc are there forever even if deleted.

So unless society at large expects perfection from all of its people stuff will get out. As long as it doesnt affect the job i am ok with him staying. Now if he sits at his office on my dime and spent most of the day with it i would have a problem.

Same goes for repubs. The problem is basically with them that they vote and preach against the very thing they are doing.

[FLPanhandle]

35. I hope the kid takes after his wife

Especially hope it doesn't inherit Weiner's IQ

[Pisces]

42. I feel sick for her. The time in her life when she should be the happiest. Now

she has to deal with the public scrutiny and her emotions over this betrayal.

Keep your head up Huma, you will get through this terrible moment.

[seabeyond]

46. +1. nt

[Tx4obama]

59. I am sure she is not thin-skinned, especially after having to deal with all the rumors about her and

Hillary being lovers that have been around for years.

[dkf]

65. Can't believe you went there.

[Tx4obama]

67. Why not.

Most folks are acting like Huma is a naive wife that has thin-skin.
I think she is not.
She has had to deal with bad press in the past and I'm sure she learned from the experience.
I believe she will be just fine this time.

[IamK]

44. Who is the dad? This could get interesting.... n/t

[seabeyond]

47. really? you feel the need to diss this woman? what did she do to earn du's wrath?

disgusting.

[DevonRex]

50. WTF? That's uncalled for.

[Raine]

49. Poor woman having to deal with ugly scandal along with

something that would ordinarily be one of the happiest times of her life.

[Hamlette]

51. This shoud END all discussion of this

there is soon to be a third innocent involved in the media's need to talk about sex 24/7

give it up already.

[frylock]

54. weiner's not "innocent" by any stretch

[dsc]

55. the child is who the poster is referring to

[frylock]

68. you mean the fetus?

the poster referenced three innocent people; there's Huma, the fetus, and......?

[dsc]

70. they left off a comma

they meant there is a third, innocent involved. The fetus is the third person, and that third person is innocent not that there were three innocent people.

[frylock]

72. that makes even less sense..

this really isn't worth discussing. peace out.

[dsc]

77. actually it dawned on me that it is three

the woman sent the pic, the wife and the child.

[Iggo]

53. Yay! Babies! Yay! (n/t)

[Fleshdancer]

56. I wish nothing but the very best for her

It would be hard enough to deal with what her husband did, but adding the prego hormones and possible morning sickness at the same time??? That f'ing sucks! I don't care if she stays or goes. Either way, I hope she finds her happy.

[Tx4obama]

61. Congratulations Anthony and Huma :) n/t

[Horse with no Name]

73. Does capitalizing it make her more PREGNANT?

:shrug:

[crazyjoe]

75. This virtually guarantees another few days on the front pages.

He is done, he should resign asap. He can always get a great job as a lobbyist out of the spot light. And make more money too! He may need it for divorce court.

[tekisui]

76. Congrats to Mr. Weiner and his wife!
