Your husband, Anthony Weiner , took responsibility for his sexually "inappropriate" relationships with six young women today, but he still wouldn't commit to getting psychological help! That's nuts!
Huma -- I need to point out to you that while your New York Congressman husband confessed that he has a "weakness," and that his twitpic-ing photos of his erection was "a destructive thing to do," he still thinks that he can control himself, from now on. Don't you think that's more than a little unrealistic?
If he couldn't control himself for the past three years even after he married wonderful you, last July, then why does he think he can suddenly beat his demons on his own now? And Huma, why would you even trust him after learning what he has kept hidden from you all this time?
Huma -- your man has a serious feeling of inadequacy, according to psychotherapist, Dr. Gilda Carle, of Dr.Gilda.com. "This doesn't have anything to do with sex, it was about getting a sense of power," she explains. "Talking, Facebooking and tweeting with young, pretty women made him feel like a big shot."
Anthony Weiner's real problem was that he felt inadequate inside -- like the skinny, gawky, nerdy guy he once was , says Dr. Carle. "Then he got into a position of political power, and suddenly women were flocking all over him, but he still felt inadequate. Communicating with these other women though would give him a feeling of power, that boosted his self-esteem."
And then Huma, he got addicted to this high he was getting from flirting with the kind of women -- young and pretty -- that he never thought would pay any attention to him before he was a bigwig.
You -- you have to get him to actually dig into why he feels so negatively about himself or he will never overcome his addiction. And if he can't quit his urge to show off his genitals to strange women, then he can never have a truly loving relationship with you.

Anthony Weiner Twitter Photo Scandal: Congressman Breaks His Silence
Only then will he learn his lesson ......A regular American would loose everything if this was done on company time or from a company computer or phone..The Congressman is a 24/7 employee of the people ...what he did was un becoming of a congressman...and showed poor judgment and restraint. How do we know this same Poor Judgment and restraint doesn't or didn't effect his work on the hill. The whole of the American people will be effected by his decision making which is clearly one of self gratification.
All we can do is keep her in our thoughts and prayers as she struggles to climb back up the slippery slope she is on.
Chin up, Bonnie!
Resignation first. Who cares second.
At any rate, I was questioning the assumption that this was power-related instead of sexual. It's a common argument.
We really need to stop being so presumptuous about people and what allegedly ails them.
If they wanted to have an open marriage (which I don't recommend) fine.
But why did he get married if he still wanted to fool around?
(Yes, I know the answer.)
If he married, fooled around, got caught, and tried to lie his way out of it....he is responsible for his own actions.
He could have told his wife he "needed" her, especially before they got married.
And she could have decided if she wanted to marry him and/or leave him alone with his "weiner" and temptation.
She is NOT the cause of his weakness.
Therapy is for the little guys who do dirty, not the political supermen.
As far as I am concerned, he should go.
He is a liar, deceiver, and hypocrite.
But he is not my problem.
********If I had voted for him, I would vote him out in the next primaries.
