Weiner's Women: Wife "Feels Trapped In Marriage," Sext Partner Doesn't Regret Their Chats

The one player in former Congressman Anthony Weiner's downfall that everyone wants to hear from is his pregnant wife, Huma Abedin. But she has not been seen at any public appearances with Weiner—not at his Twitter crotch shot confession nor at his resignation, though she was spotted with him at a grocery store. Now, the Post reports she "feels hopelessly trapped in her marriage to the disgraced pol, whose online antics have completely disgusted her once-supportive family," according to a source. (The Post's sub-headline: "Huma feels cornered carrying Weiner bun.")

The source does not split hairs, "He could be having sex live on TV for the whole world to watch and she'd still feel like she'd have to stay with him for now." Additionally, the source claims that Abedin's Muslim family had initially supported Weiner because he said he was hacked, but the Post reports, "Nothing prepared the close-knit and devout Muslim family for the release of close-ups of Weiner's genitalia, which were unleashed online by radio shock jocks "Opie & Anthony" after one of his cybermistresses leaked it to the press." The source says, "No one in her family wants to put any pressure on her to make any decisions now when she is still in her first trimester."

Abedin probably has other stuff on her mind, like ignoring interviews that Weiner's sexting partners are giving. Gym teacher Traci Nobles told the Today show that she started chatting with him on Facebook after seeing him online and they also Skyped; Nobles says she doesn't regret it, "It was more than just sexual. We exchanged music or talked about life in general. It wasn't really personal as far as going into personal lives or that sort of thing." But their conversations were also sexual:

A source told the Daily News that Abedin is "frozen, beyond numb" over her husband's embarrassing transgressions, and another said, "She deserves better."

Tony has got to really going through penis-play withdrawal. You KNOW Huma Wiener isn’t getting affectionate these days...

I was hoping after he resigned this story would end.. but it won't. It just won't die and that's all we really want dear media.

Speak for yourself.

Oh, the tired "she deserves better" nonsense. It's not like the government assigned him to her. She chose him! She is an attractive, intelligent, successful woman, she could have had any number of normal, honorable, respectful men to chose from, instead, she chose this guy. First of all: a politician. Red flag, right there! Second, a sub-type of a PR fame-ball, as opposed to a hard-working lawmaker. Finally, I'm pretty sure that if you knew him personally at all, you would certainly get a hint of who he really is. Therefore, the conclusion is that this marriage was a cold calculated power move for her. She miscalculated. Oh, I'm sure she is in pain now, but not because she feels emotionally betrayed by "the love of her life", but because of the pain that comes with the realization that getting married and having a child is a much more serious matter than a career move.

Oh come on, you act like she knew about all of this when she married him. Spouses rarely suspect the man they fell in love with is a serial killer/pedophile/convict.

Quit blaming the poor woman.

Well said.

Her mentor is Hillary, his was Bill. That pretty much sums her decision making process in marital matters.

LazyNanny

Yes, I have to agree. She married a man in his mid-40s who never had a committed relationship, that is a major red flag for anyone.

He looks like he stepped straight out of a '30s era German propaganda leaflet.

The problem I have with this is just like the Tiger Woods thing - once a story like this breaks, all the whores crawl out of the woodwork looking for a payday, and they don't have to have a shred of proof for their faces to get on TV and a possible appearance fee. It blows my mind.
