For long time readers, it’s no secret that my divorce from my ex-wife was protracted and far less than amicable. In fact, it was so nasty that at one point after a particularly brutal all day hearing complete with vicious gay bashing by opposing counsel, I took a full bottle of xanax, prompting a visit to the ERA, etc. But, compared to the McGreevey-Matos divorce, mine more and more looks like an absolute walk in the park. The latest news from both the New Jersey Star Ledger (http://www.nj.com/news/ledger/index.ssf?/base/news-13/1205732150247650.xml&coll=1) and 365gay.com (http://www.365gay.com/Newscon08/03/031708mcg2.htm) is that former aide (pictured above) to James E. McGreevey said yesterday that he had three-way sexual trysts on a regular basis with McGreevey and his wife before they occupied the governor's mansion, challenging Dina Matos McGreevey's assertion that she was naive about her husband's sexual exploits. It increasingly sounds that McGreevey’s former wife may not necessarily be the innocent victim she wants to appear to be in the couple’s custody dispute over their daughter. However, that by no means indicates that I condone McGreeveys apparent constant cheating on his wife (I think he is VERY sleazy). Now it looks like both of them were into kinky stuff. Sadly, as long as being homosexual bears a stigma in society and religious denominations and individuals feel forced to marry and try to conform, stories like this one will continue to take place, albeit not in quite as sensational or bizarre a manner. Here are highlights from the Star-Ledger:
Pedersen described the encounters during an interview with The Star-Ledger. He said he wanted to rebut the innocent image that Matos McGreevey has projected -- both during the couple's ongoing divorce battle and in interviews she gave after New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer submitted his resignation last week in a sex scandal. He said he also was incensed by her por trayal of herself as an unsuspecting wife in her book: "Silent Partner: A Memoir of My Marriage" "I wanted to get this out now because it was so offensive to me that she goes on television playing the victim," Pedersen said. "She's trying to make this a payday for herself. She should have told the truth about the three of us." Peder sen did not say if he was gay or bi sexual and only described having contact with Matos McGreevey during the trysts. He also said he never knew for sure if McGreevey was gay.
His assertions mark the latest broadside in a particularly public and searing divorce case that has brought back to life the seamy personal issues that erupted when McGreevey resigned almost four years ago. Matos McGreevey alleges the onetime Woodbridge mayor duped her into marriage in 2000 to further his political career, and that she had no clue about his sexual preference until just before he resigned in August 2004, when he announced he was gay and had an affair with an aide.

Former New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey said Monday he and his wife and a male aide engaged in sexual threesomes, contradicting a denial issued hours earlier by his estranged wife. In an e-mail to The Associated Press, the nation's first openly gay governor said published reports by former campaign aide Teddy Pedersen were true.
