Charleston, SC - In a story that's becoming more Hollywood than South Carolina, Governor Sanford reveals new details to the associated press. 

For the first time he admits to having encounters with other women not just his Argentinean mistress though he says the others were nonsexual. He also confessed to meeting with Maria Chapur several more times then he'd previously stated, including rendezvous in New York. The new revelations are a surprise to marriage and sex therapist Susan Staub.

"Clearly when someone is talking about loving someone else it's an enormous challenge to repair a marriage," she said.

In the interview Sanford called Chapur his soul mate and says he's trying to fall back in love with wife Jenny. Staub says the governor’s admissions show a possible narcissistic tendency.

"Talk about what his wife and children think, get the focus off of him and get it to be in their shoes," she said.

Reconciliation she believes is possible but not easy. To start, she says it would require Sanford to cut ties with any of his affairs. As for his Political career, despite calls for resignation some experts don't believe he’ll step down; as for his long term in question.

"I can't imagine he'd be running for Sullivan's Island town council anytime soon, political careers in general go up the ladder and that's out of the question I think," Political Science Professor Dr. David Mann said.
