Wronged Wife of Chilean Miner Out-Classes Jenny Sanford

"Wronged Wife of Chilean Miner Out-Classes Jenny Sanford" Maybe author Bonnie Goldstein did not write the title of this article, but the comparison of two victims (of cheating spouses) is odious. Neither woman sought the attention she received and grading their reactions to public embarassment and humiliation reveals more about the author than she may realize.

When you give up 20 something years (quarter century) of your life to someone, it's not easy when they suddenly decide to find someone else. My advice to the wife, per any Chilean laws, do not divorce him until he reaps the monetary benefits he may gain from his experiences. And go for your due!

i admire the wife for her respect not to cause a stink about the misstress being present..to me she thought about the happiness of all the other wives,family amd friends...not being selfish deserves a mighty,mighty courage person..I hope the wife will have a more happy life which i'm sure its in store for her.....BLESS HER

Divorce has been legal in Chile since President Ricardo Lagos signed the bill authorizing it on 7 May 2004. It is still not easy to do, and can take one or three years depending on circumstances.

MARTA SALINAS INDEED IS A CLASSY LADY ! BEING EXCEPTIONALLY INTELLIGENT, SHE KNOWS WHEN TO REMAIN AND WHEN TO BACK OFF. THIS LADY IS TO BE ONE OF THE MOST ADMIRTED OF ALL PERSONS CONCERNING THIS SITUATION, AND WILL INDEED WALK AWAY FROM IT ALL WITH HALF OF EVERYTHING HER HUSBAND HAD. THE HUSBAND THEN WILL HAVE TO SHARE HIS HALF WITH THE MISTRESS HE HAS HANGING ON HIS ARM.

Marta Salinas is truly a lady, but still Yonni's wife.....and should be entitled to half of anything he makes on any of the deals that come out of this experience. Then she can give him her blessings to go live with his mistress while she comfortable goes on with her life.

Class? Grace? Decorum? Why should anyone (male or female) remain silent and kind after their spouse has betrayed them in the worst way possible. I've never been in such a relationship, and really don't want to hear about other people's sex/love lives. However I wouldn't praise (or condemn) the spouse who either quietly accepts their cheating spouse's behavior or takes them to the cleaners and publicly humiliates them (or rather allows the light to shin on the cheater's humiliating behavior). The filandering spouse is the one who is wrong.....period. The spouse, as long as they aren't committing crimes, is entitled to behave however they wish. Judging THEM, for better or worse, is the sport of paparazzi, blogging pointless fools, and those jealous of even the negative spotlight. And it most certainly isn't journalism of any ilk.

I feel badly for her and hope that God recompenses her with whatever is right.

Comments Chuck Colson about the way the miners treated each other with such respect and as the reporter Goldstein put it the group outcome was the complete opposite of "Lord of the Flies." Under the cloud of eminent death, (and I paraphrase Colson) " This is a slap in the face to Darwinianslike Steven Hawkings' theory of the dominate gene, or survival of the fittest." Incidentally, once again, our Creator God; the God of Jesus Christ; the one to whom the miners were praying,(most with were Catholic), must be the one that saved them since they were praying to Him. Men like Senor Barrios, will have to answer for their unfaithfulness, but Senora Barrios kept her part of the marriage contract, keeping herself only unto her husband and forsaking all others.
