AP reports that the wife did not know about the affair.

the Jason Whitlock opinion I'm not sure I buy into. Does it then follow that divorcees who don't have custody of their children should refrain from starting new marriages and families? I had a short stint as a teacher and I came into contact with several such parents that could only be described as involved.
My whole thing is if he and his mistress were spending so much time together that people thought they were living together and his wife didn't notice then either 1) he had a history of being negligent/absent or 2) they had effectively separated (whether she knew the real reasons or not).
None of this is to condone the adultery or explain the affair but it's just that I find the jump from saying he was spending a lot of time with his new girlfriend to saying that he was a negligent father doesn't seem to be grounded in anything substantial that has come out.
Of course it is entirely plausible that Jason Whitlock, as a well-connected member of the media, has access to information that he can't just come out and say.
