The recent and long overdue admission by John Edwards to fathering a baby with mistress Rielle Hunter has certainly come at a high price, especially in light of his lack of integrity, honesty, and humility about his infidelity. While I do believe that we can repair many issues in our marriages (including affairs), this can only be accomplished if the culpable party is truly honest.
