Eliot Spitzer and his wife Silda Wall-Spitzer celebrated their 21st wedding anniversary Friday with a smile. The Daily News pens the dramatic line, "Seven months since he ripped a hole in her heart and left her with little to do but cry." But the paper says that Silda has made her peace with Eliot's very public transgressions and is planning to stay with her husband. On their first anniversary to fall since Spitzer's downfall in March, a friend of the couple's said to the News, "I'm sure it will be a little strange. Things have certainly changed since their last one." The two were spotted having breakfast at a Madison Avenue deli, not all that far from where they married at the Central Park Boathouse in 1987. After breakfast, the couple headed off to their farm upstate to celebrate in private, as they've mostly remained in the months since the scandal broke.

Nice to see some still look at marriage as a commitment worthy of fighting for. Can not say it will be easy for either but Silda deserves some props for making the attempt. Not sure if my wife would stick it out and not sure I would be worthy of her commitment to even try should I be such as arse as Eliot was.
I for one hope it works out because that is what we get married for. Somehow he paid and is still paying for this moronic indiscretion. All can never be right about this but they can bury the hatchet in the end if he remains a good and decent husband and father till death this time.
If not she is a MILF!
Good to see she lost the scarf...She must have
read Gothamist and taken my advice.
Good for them. I liked Spitzer and I wish he would run for AG and get rid of corrupted Cuomo.
Now that these understanding and forgiving wives have come around, they can get jiggy with the Clintons.
Who would let a hooker scandal get in the way

What I do for Love.
Spitzer is the F'n MAN! I like that guy.
Yup, Eliot's da man.
Lest we forget, Eliot was preaching about the woes to come on Wall Street way back in February:
"...Several years ago, state attorneys general and others involved in consumer protection began to notice a marked increase in a range of predatory lending practices by mortgage lenders. Some were misrepresenting the terms of loans, making loans without regard to consumers' ability to repay, making loans with deceptive "teaser" rates that later ballooned astronomically, packing loans with undisclosed charges and fees, or even paying illegal kickbacks. These and other practices, we noticed, were having a devastating effect on home buyers. In addition, the widespread nature of these practices, if left unchecked, threatened our financial markets.
Even though predatory lending was becoming a national problem, the Bush administration looked the other way and did nothing to protect American homeowners. In fact, the government chose instead to align itself with the banks that were victimizing consumers...."

I think the people like guys that fall, pay their dues, and get back up and rise to the occasion. Spitzers problems don't change the fact that he was still trying to help all of us by serving the public in the best way possible (sans hookers). I got nothing wrong with the guy making a mistake and hopefully learning from it. I hope he and his wife make it cause he's a lucky SOB that she took him back.
ps, she is hot.
I giver her credit for not bludegoning him in his sleep.
