“In truth, he is lucky the young woman hasn’t broken down completely or, God forbid, taken her life under the weight of his poor handling. The pressure of fame alone is enough to destroy many, and to add marital troubles and public accusations to that is to hand her over to the wolves.”“We men all face challenges at home, every single one of us. But when such matters spill into the public, it only means one of two things: either pride has taken over wisdom, or the man has lost control of the situation. Whatever the case, Ned should have handled this privately. A man’s strength is not in how loudly he complains, but in how quietly he resolves.”“So, yes, I say it again! Ned should never have gone public. He should have shielded his wife, even if she erred, and dealt with her privately. To expose her weakness is to expose his own. Because a husband’s grace is tested most not when all is well, but when things fall apart. And in this case, both his silence and his strength would have served him and his name better.”
