Even if that was true, why would it be so bad?
Is it worse than one spouse taking another back for financial security, for the sake of the children, for religious reasons? Why is ambition worse?
I mean it is often judged that way here, but I thought America celebrated all of the above?

Not making this European vs American - I think we should value ambition and success more in this country. But to suggest she was somehow freeloading, just because she chose to remain in a relationship is very harsh. She's an intelligent, ambitious person, so who cares whether it was a hormonal decision, a romantic one or a business transaction. Do you really want a President who will turn his/ her back on duty for "love" like King Edward VIII?
