Big surprise, after she quickly headed of to France with her ex!

I was misled also, seeing the foto with her husband.

I wonder how she found it so quick if that was the case. We all noticed her coldness immediately after she was freed. Maybe her mother quickly gave her the low-down on him. Thats unfortunate after all he did for her while she was hostage. If anyone watch the documentary he kept on fighting for her.

I'm sure she heard the rumours on the radio. Between Caracol and RCN, they can be worse the National Enquirer.

Here is what he said a few days ago.

-----------------------
Dijo que no descartaba que su esposa hubiera oido por la radio en la selva versiones sobre que él estaba saliendo con otra mujer.

"Fue un chisme que me inventaron... chismes hay los que usted quiera. Y ella allá en la selva debió enterarse", dijo.

Añadió que tomó "con beneficio de inventario" el frío saludo que recibió de Betancourt a su llegada desde la selva al aeropuerto de Bogotá el miércoles pasado.

"Claro que hubiera preferido que hubiera sido un poco mas cariñosa conmigo, no tan fría, pero es que un secuestro es una cosa muy complicada y uno no puede calcular el amor de esa manera", dijo.

El cautiverio y el sufrimiento, dijo Lecompte, "ya terminó. Ver a Ingrid feliz me hace feliz. Pero no hay felicidad completa porque en este momento quisiera estar con ella...estoy confundido, no sé qué pensar".

I can't believe he talked about it on the radio or wherever... I would definitely not be talking about that with the press. It makes him look kind of pathetic. I guess it was kind of obvious to everyone though. Just the fact that he is not with her in France. I wonder if Larry King will ask her about it.

Really, it's almost impossible for a relationship to survive a blow like that, marriage or no. It was like she was dead for 6 years. Plus her kids are from a previous marriage so they don't even have that as a tie to keep them together. Whether he was faithful or no, her feelings for him are not going to be the same, and vice-versa.

you guys!!!

in his own way, her husband dealt with his pain in probably the only way he could. "if you can't be with the one you love, honey, love the one you're with" just knowing that his wife was undoubtedly being violated horribly in the selva must have been real heavy.....

i just wish them both all the best to reclaim, each, his/her own life as best they can.

I feel for him. I mean, he was put in a very difficult situation because even if the marriage was practically over before she was kidnapped, it's not like he could restart his life on his own or with someone else. He was damned if he didn't do anything for Ingrid and he was damned if he did, if he moved to a different country or if he stayed in Colombia trying to get her freedom, if he filed for divorce or not, if he dated someone else or not. That is just a horrible situation for anybody, especially not knowing if she was alive or not or if she was ever going to be set free.

I'm pretty sure he tried to get himself ready for this but the way she has handled it is not the right way for sure.

I totally agree with Diana.
