Chilean Miner's Wife Speaks Out Against Mistress: I Have A Sense Of Decency
Marta Salinas, married to Chilean miner Yonni Barrios, chose not to be present at his rescue after learning that he has had a mistress, Susanna Valenzuela, for 10 years.
But it’s not only his extraction from the mine Marta missed, she has also refused to visit him at the hospital after watching his tearful reunion with Susanna on TV.
Marta speaks out on how she feels about him after this whole ordeal and it isn’t very nice.
“If he wants to see me or talk to me he can come find me,” Marta tells the Guardian. “I have his belongings and all these gifts people have sent him – he is welcome to have them.”
She also said that when she saw that her husband was safe, she did not feel “anything in particular.” She continues, “I’m glad I didn’t go to the mine, it was the correct decision. It would have been wrong if the two of us were there – I have children and grandchildren. That kind of situation wouldn’t have been good for my family, and my sons come first. He is crazy and cocky to think I would do such a thing. I have a sense of decency.”
Do you think she is right? Should she have gone?
Marta says she is not bitter. “This is historic but soon it will be over to the next thing. People move on – in a few years everyone will have forgotten about this. They think they will all be millionaires overnight but it’s not like that. Only the skillful ones will make something from this.”
I think Yonni may have a chance to make some cash. His story has dominated headlines and seems ripe for a made-for-TV movie.
Leave this story alone! The man deserves his privacy, and we don’t want to hear about it anyway.
I am very proud of this wife. She has class. The mistress showed nothing but stupidity by going there. The rescued minor didn’t even seem moved by the fact that she was there.
I agree with June, his wife showed class and restraint by not going to the site of the minors’ rescue and the mistress portrayed herself as trashy and with no self respect. I hate home-wreckers! There’s a such thing as divorce, people are shameless!
She is a wonderful strong women!!! 110% with June!
I think she showed her children and grandchildren that that kind of behavior should not be condoned or tolerated. I wouldn’t have gone either if the mistress was going to be there.
What do you mean leave the story alone and give him privacy. He does not want privacy. He invited both his mistress and his wife to greet him.
The guy is a loser! I hope she sues him for all she can!
Hey reporters: Slow news Day?? Now that they’re all safe- reporters are REALLY scraping the bottom of the barrel for stories related to this rescue.
MISTRESS SHOWED LOW CLASS BY GOING, WIFE WAS RIGHT BY NOT GOING.THE MINOR SHOWED NO RESPECT FOR HIS ENTIRE FAMILY BY HAVING HIS MISTRESS THERE. HIS WIFE AND CHILDREN SHOULD BE THE ONLY ONES INVITED.
The mistress has no class, not only for showing up, but, discussing the fact that she couldn’t wait to get him in bed. Thats why she is the mistress and not the wife.
