7. She looks so much like me, and my husband is also a "superstar" in his field

I feel this big personal connection to the story. I can imagine her grief, rage and fear so clearly.

All of the stories keep going on and on about how beautiful the two other women are, so much younger....

Heartbreaking. I have no idea if she actually still cares about him anymore (at this stage of the game, so many of us older women remain in relationships because we're a good business match, mutually beneficial even if the love has died some). Whats even worse is if she was still 100% faithful, loving him completely and naive to his infidelities. And then this.

What horrible public exposure for two seemingly dedicated public servants.

Her humiliation however is so, so much worse. Shame on David Petraeus for his despicable conduct. Hugs to her. I can't imagine how she must feel - like Hillary and Bill.... ugh.
