Bill Clinton’s former presidency was irreparably damaged by his affair withMonica Lewinsky.
Hillary stood by her husband throughout the public scandal but, naturally, she acknowledged it wasn’t easy.
The former first lady is thankful for the army of friends who assembled around her.
And how Hillary’s friends provided comfort wasn’t much different than helping any ol' pal through hardship.
She admitted, “It was really hard.
And I was so supported by my friends.
My friends just rallied around,” (viaPolitico).
Her community of loved ones was vital.
Her friends distracted her with activities to overcome the scandal.
Just the kinds of things you do with your friends."
On top of working on her marriage, Hillary still had a job to do as the first lady.
Her governmental duties didn’t sleep and mental health days weren’t a thing back then.
“So it was very, very challenging.”
Hillary stayed with Bill despite the very valid excuse to cut her losses and leave.
It understandably left many of us wondering why the presidential candidate chose to stay.
Saying “I do” was not a frivolous thing for the couple.
The answers were always yes.
So I kept going," (viaSydney Morning Herald).
Hillary and Bill went through a lot of counseling to repair their relationship.
The Clintons have been married for decades, tying the knot on October 11, 1975.
Every marriage has its ups and downs but clearly, these two are in it for the long haul.
