South Carolina first lady Jenny Sanford recalls how she made the "leap of faith" to marry husband Gov. Mark Sanford even though the groom refused to promise to be faithful, insisting that the clause be removed from their wedding vows.

"It bothered me to some extent, but ... we were very young, we were in love," she said in an exclusive interview with Barbara Walters to air on "20/20" Friday. "I questioned it, but I got past it ... along with other doubts that I had."

Sanford and her marriage were thrust into the national spotlight in June 2009 when her husband admitted that he had been secretly visiting his longtime lover in Argentina instead of hiking the Appalachian Trail, as he had told his staff.

Wait seriously lady? Are you seriously saying that it only bothered you a bit? Cause if I was marrying a girl and she told me that... Brakes are getting slammed on.

Newsflash boys and girls, if someone refuses to promise to be faithful... They're not gonna be!

I gotta give Sanford points for honesty though, at least he didn't promise something he had no intention of delivering. Still this is someone you definitely check the fine print with.

Nah the wife dude. She's the one who agreed to marry him even though he didn't vow to be faithful.

The polyamorous have rules, they just define cheating differently. :razz: Really, this is bizarre.
It's not that I'm unforgiving, it's that most of the people who wrong me are unrepentant assholes.

She knew why he took those out from the vows. She KNEW he was cheating, no matter how badly she wanted to deny it. She knew, and she never did anything about it.

Stupid bitch. no pity here
