John Edwards Kicked Out, Marriage is Over
Although John and Elizabeth Edwards both told Oprah Winfrey during her May 7 broadcast that they are working to rebuild their shattered marriage, sources say their marriage is essentially over. According to the National Enquirer, Elizabeth kicked John out of the bedroom more than two years ago when he confessed to cheating on her, and the two are now living apart.
Edwards reportedly does spend some time at the couple's sprawling mansion for the sake of their two younger children, but he's not there full-time and they certainly do not share the same room when he is there.
While promoting her new book "Resilience", Elizabeth told Oprah that they are working to rebuild their marriage. Sources say, however, that the reality is much different and that she banished John from their bedroom when he admitted his affair with Rielle Hunter in December 2006. After publicly confessing the affair to ABC News after being caught red-handed by the National Enquirer in July 2008, Elizabeth is said to have thrown him out of their Chapel Hill, NC home.
The source revealed:
"After John was caught, Elizabeth told him to simply, 'Get out of the house!'"
Married in 1977, the couple are reportedly staying together for the sake of their children, but there really is no real marriage to speak of anymore.
The source added:
"John has no choice than to follow Elizabeth's lead. He has destroyed her by repeatedly lying to her, and his betrayal was so severe that there is no marriage to go back to.
They are staying together for the sake of their children and their reputations. But if things were different, and if Elizabeth wasn't sick, she would divorce him in a heartbeat."

JOHN EDWARDS
John Edwards hasn't the faintest idea of what the meaning of the word LOVE is. He's a two-timing snake who believes that sexual gratification is what LOVE is all about. He is not only a worthless human being; he's no good as a husband or father. In Elizabeth's condition, is it any wonder that she lives in HELL. SHE MUST KNOW THAT GOD HAS NOT FORSAKEN HE will give her the REAL LOVE that she needs. She will no longer feel alone. God will help her with her children. She and the children will remain in God's protection. I'm sure that she is in the prayers of thousands of people as well as my own. Five years from now, Elizabeth, you will be thanking God that you no longer need to worry about your tragic circumstances. MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU.
