He liked to touch things that didn’t belong to him - in other words, he cheated on his wife, Eleanor.
In 1918, long before he became president, FDR was caught in a web of lies when Eleanor found a stash of love letters. The letters were between him and a woman named Lucy Mercer, whom FDR had hired to be his wife’s secretary in 1916.
Promising never to see her again, as well as sleep in a separate bed from then on, FDR convinced Eleanor to stay with him.
However, he didn’t stay away from for Mercer for long, and continued the affair until he died in 1945.
Mercer was actually at his side when he passed, a fact hidden from the public for some time. Eleanor had already discovered that the two were in cahoots again, and was decidedly not present at the time of his death.
