Logic would tell me that if Newt cheated on wife #1 and wife #2

then that would make one think that he has cheated or is cheating on #3.
So it seems that would be a fair question.
Also, his cheating did not confine itself to the next Mrs. Gingrich.

So he says he's cured.

Of course he's also a dick who has said plenty of times that people need to do says and ignore what he does.

If it is both, who in the world could look at that surgically mired face with lust?

it astounds me that wife #2 was the object of Newt's cheating on wife #1 and is surprised??? that he he cheated on her with wife #3....

So....

unless wife#3 is naive then she can expect, anticipate, count-on, predict, prognosticate, hypothesize etc., that Newt IS CHEATING ON HER NOW...

It doesn't matter either way. He goes around preaching against marriage equality based on his "traditional values" nonsense. I'd love for someone to tell him to face that a monogamous gay marriage is more meaningful and morally sound than the sham he has been living in a good deal of his life. I'd bet he'd blow a gasket so big, his heart would explode.

I think the only thing stopping him from cheating again is that wife #3 has him on a very short leash--evidently he has to check in with her and can't spend the night without her. I'd be suspicious too if I was in her place (and I thank God I am not in her place).

He probably has a substansial porn habit and the occasional all-nude "threaputic" prostate massage but I am not certain he is conducting an affair.

I think it is pretty clear that Newt wanted the respectability of marriage for professional reasons but doens't want his professional life to interfere with his personal pleasures and he found (finally) someone as shallow, ambitious, and power hungry as himself in wife #3. She doesn't care if he fucks goats and children as long as he keeps her in the manner in which she demands and has come accustomed to.
