WASHINGTON (AFP) - Hillary Clinton said in an soul baring interview aired Friday she never doubted her husbands Bill Clintons love for her, despite the former presidents affair with a White House intern.
The former first lady, locked in a tight battle for the Democratic presidential nomination with Barack Obama, candidly revealed her inner torment after the infidelity, first reported 10 years ago.
"I really had to dig down deep and think hard about what was right for me, what was right for my family," Clinton said on the Tyra Banks talk show on Fox television.
"I never doubted Bills love for me, ever, and I never doubted my faith and my commitment to our daughter and our extended family.
"But I had to decide what I ought to do, I think it is so important to be able to hear yourself at a moment when it is hard ... there are so many times when you really have to listen to yourself."
Asked by Banks whether she was embarrassed by Clintons relationship with Monica Lewinsky, which eventually led to his impeachment, she said "sure, all of that."
"The momentary feelings -- you are mad, you are really upset, you are disappointed, all of that goes through your mind.
"I have found you really shouldnt make decisions in the heat of those moments.
Clinton also said she was asked by other women "all the time" about what to do with unfaithful husbands.
"I say you have to be true to yourself, no one story is the same as any other story," she said.
"I dont know your reality. I cannot possibly substitute my judgment for yours, but what I can tell you is you must be true to yourself, you have to do what is right for you."
