Former SC Governor Mark Sanford Ends Engagement In Bizarre Facebook Post

Mark Sanford, the infamous former South Carolina governor, revealed via Facebook that he has called off his engagement to Maria Belen Chapur. Maria was Sanford’s mistress for a time afore the GOP Rep. revealed his affair and split from his wife to be with Chapur.

Sanford made national headlines five years ago after he vanished for several days and resurfaced anon after, admitting in tearful press conference that he’d peregrinated to Argentina to visit Chapur. Afore revealing his whereabouts and coming clean about his relationship with Chapur, an aide had told the press that Mark was hiking the Appalachian Trail. After promulgating his affair, Sanford revealed that he had utilized taxpayer mazuma to pay for a peregrination to Argentina to be with his now ex-fiancee. Mark and his ex-wife had been estranged when news of the scandal broke.

Mark promulgated the cessation of his relationship with Chapur, whom he refers to as Belen, on Friday in a lengthy post to his Facebook page. The 2,000+ word, highly personal post upbraided Sanford’s ex-wife Jenny, who he outwardly inculpated for the demise of his engagement due to an perpetual custody battle. “No relationship can stand sempiternally this tension of being coerced to pick between the one you dote and your own son or daughter, and for this reason Belen and I have decided to call off the engagement”, Mark verbalized in the post. “Maybe there will be another chapter when waters calm with Jenny, but at this point the environment is not conducive to building anything given no one would optate to be caught in the middle of what’s now transpiring.
Sanford’s post additionally addressed his ex-wife’s reprehension of him, going into great detail to elucidate categorical terms of the custody arrangement which Sanford ostensibly claims to paint him in a negative light. One supposed claim, that Jenny’s lawyers preclude him from consuming alcohol or illicit drugs in the presence of his children, was described by Mark as “really crazy”.

“Why would one throw out the desideratum for restraint if it were not a quandary – or if one did not optate to raise the specter of a quandary? On this one all I can ask is that you verbalize with anyone who has visually perceived or kenned me over my entire 54 years in the Low Country”, Sanford indited. “I have never taken any illicit drug in my life. I did not imbibe in high school or college and though I do imbibe now, my consumption is so constrained that my friends give me an arduous time about it. I will have but one potation or two when out at a gregarious occasion.”

In his verbalization, Mark did make a point to apperceive and appreciate Jenny as a mother, despite calling her out for sundry aspects of the custody battle and incriminating her for his recent split. “I believe these boys have a mom who dotes them and cares about them. I will never endeavor to detract from her or all the positive things she has done in her life, but having to go frequently to ask a former spouse when you can have time with a son is a recipe for conflict”, Sanford verbally expressed. “I hope and believe Jenny and I can find an incipient way.”

Mark’s rambling verbalization concluded with the congressman acknowledging the personal nature of the post and asking for privacy and prayers. “This posting has been most personal, but again given the gravity of what has been alleged I felt compelled to address it and the more immensely colossal context of where our family is and where we are headed. I ask for both your prayers and consideration in this process.”

Sanford, whose reputation and credibility was thought to have been all but eradicated in the ocular perceivers of South Carolinians, surprised many last year when he won the bid to become the next representative of South Carolina’s first congressional district. Mark was, at the time, facing trespassing charges from his ex-wife.

Mark Sanford currently lives in Charleston, SC.
