Dina Matos McGreevey Says She Thought Their Marriage Was Solid, Had No Idea He Was Gay

Quote "The sex was good." Dina Matos McGreevey

The wife of former New Jersey governor James E. McGreevey describes him in her upcoming memoir as self-absorbed and controlling, and says that, among other demands, he insisted she move out of the governor's mansion before his official resignation so she wouldn't "look like white trash."

The descriptions appear in Dina Matos McGreevey's book "Silent Partner: A Memoir of My Marriage," scheduled to hit bookstores May 1. A copy of the book was obtained by the New York Daily News.

Matos McGreevey wrote that her husband offered only an indifferent apology days after he appeared on national television in Aug. 2004 and announced "I am a gay American" and said he would resign.

Before that appearance, she wrote, McGreevey told her, "You have to pull yourself together. You have to be Jackie Kennedy today," and repeatedly told her what to say and how to act in the aftermath of his admission.

Matos McGreevey also wrote that she thought their marriage was solid Ñ "The sex was good," she writes Ñ and had worries only about her husband's secretive calls and visits to his first wife and daughter Ñ until he summoned her to the governor's mansion three days before he told the world he was gay.

Matos McGreevey wrote that her husband said he was being blackmailed by aide Golan Cipel and that he had had a relationship with Cipel that was "not sexual ... but sexual."
