Why did Bill Clinton get married if he did not possess the restraint not to have an affair?

Answer 1

To run for political office . . . . In the US it is very difficult to successfully run for a political office (especially a high political office) unless you're married.

That is something you will have to ask him. It is stated in many psychology texts that many times a man who is not brought with a father figure in the home and only by women, particularly many women may end up having serial partners or even sexual addictions problems. Bill was unfortunately raised without his father (who I believe died when he was very young) or any father figure for that matter. This is a question that I would love to ask MANY guys!!! I would say his affair is a lack of confidence!!! He might have thought at the time, that he did have the restraint he needed. After all, he was married a long time ago. Maybe he didn't realize how ugly Hillary would get. LOL I have no idea why people think other famous people such as a President is any different than the rest of us. Many marriages in politics are marriages of convenience and serve to empower the person running in senate or for presidency. Now Nancy Reagan did love her husband and was very loyal to him. The Kennedy men were extremely unfaithful to their wives, but, they were good men and JFK was a fantastic president. Cheating always brings a price ... Kenny paid for it, Clinton paid for it, etc. I had no problem with Bill Clinton cheating (knew he was just human) but had a problem with him glaring into the cameras and lying to the American people and putting the blame on Monica. Although not too bright, (Monica was old enough to know what she was getting into) he was not a man about owning up to his large part in their relationship and hung her out to dry. He did eventually tell his wife the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Refreshing isn't it! Marcy
