I won't engage in pointless spurious gossip about mistresses or cheating.

Bill did fine as President, in spite of his endless scandals.

In what universe Bill and Hillary's marriage defined as a good marriage?

The are upholding the "till death do us part" portion. Also, when push comes to shove, they relentlessly back each other.

They also have a mutual respect for each other's intelligence and skills. They've always been partners of mind.

Even if Bill and Hill had an open marriage, that would never constitute a good marriage. He probably had more affairs than JFK.

He will probably trade her in for number 4 soon enough.

He's way too old & fat for that. He scored the prize with Melania. Not gonna get something more enviable now.

There are different ways to have a good marriage. I'd like to think it involves fidelity. But for some people that's not necessarily the case and you can have a strong and happy marriage even if one of the partners has affairs or a long standing mistress.

Ashley is a blessing and a light on the horizon.

No one gives Joe and his children grace for the trauma they endured when they lost his/their wife/mother son/brother.
Everyone reacts to trauma in a different way.
May you never experience this personally.

Please. He trades them in after a certain point. Happens all the time. He's the same jerk he was when he did it the first and second time. Just watch.

My family did and reacted way differently than Biden. Kids became first, last and only priority. Later on, my dad was still able to have a massively important career in his field notwithstanding. When I first met Hunter 20 or so years ago I just felt sorry for him. Never met his older brother but I don’t think their father’s path was the best one for them.

Their father never cared about them, hence the result. The outcome would be totally different if the father was involved. They have access to the best therapists and psychologists in the country. My spouse lost their mom when all kids were young and all grew up to be successful adults without any drug addiction.

Why don't you just ignore this thread if you don't care? People obviously care. Once family reflects a lot on the personality and people want to know about the person running the country beyond what media portrait.
