John Edwards Cheating On Cancer Stricken Wife?

The National Enquirer is reporting that John Edwards recently broke off an affair he had been having with a woman for the past 18 months. The woman worked on Edwards' campaign and was with him as he traveled across the country.

All of this information comes from a friend of the woman. I say friend, but really at this point, I don;t think they are friends. The National Enquirer has seen e-mails from the "other woman" to the friend in which she did confess to the affair and the she was in love with John Edwards but it was difficult because of his wife and kids.

The friend added that "The affair started about 18 months ago, when they met at a bar, sparks flew immediately. "

She never expected it would turn sexual since John is married and is running for President. But it soon did — and she fell for him."

In one e-mail, the "other woman" wrote: "Last night and this a.m., he actually has amazed me. He is a great man. My heart is loud and my head is silenced."

Disclosed her friend: "She initially confided in a few of her closest pals that she was sleeping with 'a married man named John.' "It became clear the married man was John Edwards. They got together whenever they could, mostly at hotels where Edwards and his campaign staff stayed."

The woman later spelled it out in a phone call to her pal and talked openly about having an affair with Edwards. The friend says the woman told her that she "had a crush on John. One thing led to another, and they soon ended up in bed together. But she knew there was no way he was going to leave Elizabeth Edwards, a wife battling cancer."

Because of the situation with Elizabeth Edwards and the return of her cancer, John and the "other woman" decided to end it because they were feeling guilty.

Hey. It shouldn't take the return of his wife's cancer to make you feel guilty.
