Doing that once is nothing, but doing that three or more times is being, at best, a cad. After the first time he knew that she was not into that and yet he insisted that she go to these places. At best it shows that he was putting base desires ahead of his wife's feelings. To me this together with the statement made by Jeri Ryan's mother reveals a worse character flaw. Sharon Zimmermann stated, "Jeri Lynn told me that she was tired of being told what to eat, how to sit, what to wear, tired of being criticized about her physical appearance and told to exercise." His need to control her to the point that he drove her away is scary. It seems emotionally abusive. It makes me wonder if the reason he took her to those clubs was to try to make her do something she did not want. To me, needing to control someone like that is far worse than wanting to have sex in a public place. Also, he could not in good faith say that these were not embarrassing revelations. Many Illinois republicans are quite conservative concerning sexual values. He has to know this would not be received well and that the sexual nature of these allegations would embarrass many of his supporters, even if he was not personally embarrassed. He gambled that he could weather this storm, a gamble that the republicans might not have wanted to take if they had know before the primary.

When they said that they had the records sealed for their son's sake, I wondered if it was perhaps that their son wet the bed or had some other problem, and the Ryans were each dissatisfied with how the other wanted to deal with it.

Yeah, the controlling thing is more of a concern, but we already knew about it, I thought.

With regards to the kid, there's still part of the records that remains sealed, that I gather is actually about him. But the stuff that just came public, had been sealed on the basis of embarrassing to daddy => traumatic to son.
