Is she standing by her man?
Just hours before his resignation press conference, Anthony Weiner and his pregnant wife Huma Abedin were spotted together outside their Brooklyn apartment.

Dressed in jeans, a blue shirt and a blazer, the stylish Huma covered her eyes with dark sunglasses as she and her husband, in casual pants and a button down shirt, entered their home. This is the first time the couple has been seen together since the scandal broke.
However, when Weiner resigned from his congressional seat on Thursday, he was alone. Unlike political wives Silda Spitzer, Dina McGreevy, Suzanne Thompson, and even Hillary Clinton, Huma was not standing by her man.
Huma also did not attend his first press conference on June 6 when he confessed that he had "inappropriate" relationships with at least six women.

Abedin is a senior advisor to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and she just returned this week from an overseas work trip where she was reportedly visited by her mother and brother. Reports stated that Weiner wanted to discuss his resignation in person with his wife before making a final decision.
Huma, 34, is widely respected in Washington, DC, and Weiner apologized to her twice in his resignation speech. He said his decision to resign was so "my wife and I can continue to heal from the damage I have caused," and at the close of his speech said she "stood with me this entire difficult period and to who I owe so very much."
Wiener told reporters at his first press conference that the state of their marriage was strong. "We have no intention of splitting over this," he said of his wife of 11 months. "We will weather this ... I love her, she loves me. My wife is a remarkable woman. She's not responsible for any of this."

Obviously not too smart to be getting husband suggestions from Hillary Clinton!

She's as dirty as he is for staying with him. Granted, she's not attractive at all, but why does she hate herself so much? Insecure women like her give all women a bad name. Run for hills, plain Jane, run!

Married only 11 months. She needs to cut her losses and run. Preg or not. Leave the pig.

I don't see why she would leave him. He didn't do anything really. Didn't actually cheat. I guess I could see a bunch of bored overweight housewives getting worked up over something like this but it's a non-issue. He flirted with women online. Wow.

That’s right because we all know only a bored, overweight woman would get upset that her husband sent boner photos to strange women.

I could see her being pissed but leaving him over that would just be dumb. He didn't actually DO anything with these online girls. So yes, leaving him would be the sort of thing an insecure, bored and overweight woman would do.

"to who I owe so very much"; oh yeah, she's playing the I've got the upper hand now card.
Think he was a Weiner before, just wait till she inflicts some womanly scorn on him.

Trollingmuch: I would agree with you if she weren't pregnant. But she is and I think that would complicate things for most women if they were in that position. What a mindf**k.

if she had limited means to support herself i would understand her staying but she is financially very well off with a family to support her emotionally. kick his azz to the curb.
