I have had many friends also express dismay that his wife stood by his side. My response is that her pale and very sad expression certainly let the public see that she was one unhappy woman. Of course, we can't be sure for what reasons--i.e., her husband's betrayal, the embarrassment to the family or the impact this will have on his career and their future. I will only state that if I were Elliot, I would probably have prefered that my wife not be by my side if she appeared as dispirited as she did.
