I cannot imagine being a child going through the most painful situation of my life and knowing that every friend, teacher, coach knows exactly what I’m going through and how my mom feels about it. This is a shitty way for any parent to deal with this, no matter if they were in the right in their marriage.

this is likely an unpopular opinion, but i hate when people compare divorce/betrayal to death.
i have been cheated on and went through a divorce, and i also lost my brother.
both suck. divorce and betrayal are *extremely hard* but it’s not comparable to death.
finding out my ex husband was someone else was devastating. but it has nothing on the doctors telling me my brother was dead.
at the time my brother passed, one of my friends found out her bf was cheating on her and she kept comparing our grief, saying we relate to the loss of something.
yes, you do lose who you thought that person was, but they’re not dead. you know they’re physically here on this earth. yes, they are a crappy person, but they’re physically here and alive. you can be hurt by someone and it doesn’t need to be compared to literal death for others to understand your hurt.

Is the article incomplete? It just ends mid sentence?

I don’t know the story but now I’m worried for this woman, given that men are murdering their partners in droves for speaking about them.

Unpopular opinion but as she has school age children this should all be done and talked about privately.

I feel poorly for her kids. Go ahead and downvote me but as a child of divorce with a mom who also couldn’t get a handle on her emotions enough to self-regulate and handle things privately, who needed to drag my dad through the mud to anyone who listened (I can’t even imagine that being millions and millions of people knowing my business vs my community), seeing both parents disrespect each other like that was devastating. Who are her kids supposed to turn to if their dad has a double life and mommy is online posting videos of herself sobbing and crashing out? she shouldn’t be online saying she wishes he was “just gay”. Log off. Take your kids to therapy. maybe *go* to therapy.

Why do people talk about this shit publicly when they have young children. It’s gross.

I was not expecting to open this thread and see so much criticism of Jen, yet virtually none of him.

Say it with me, “Women are not responsible for men’s misdeeds. No one is owed secrecy by the one they’ve wronged.” Say it until it sinks in.
Sure her kids are going to be affected by this. They were already affected though by their dad taking an axe to their family and their mom’s happiness. She was funding his double life while he took all his non-working time to cheat. She is allowed to be mad and to talk about it!

these comments are insane if he didnt want this to harm his children he shouldn’t have cheated, end of discussion lol

Honestly, I think there’s just too many ‘famous’ people now. We need to dial it back.

It’s the second time I see a headline referencing this woman and her ex husband where I spend a good 5 minutes not understanding how I missed those news about Lewis Hamilton.
Very ootl.

Why are people are criticising Jen?
He cheated.
She was the breadwinner taking care of other people. Literally. He wasn’t working the entire time.
While she was working at a hospital, he lived a double life with someone else.
And, it was revealed when she became the #1 NYT Best Seller.
But. No. Everyone is criticising her.
inmyanonera on
So many comments here criticizing her. Wow.
Let’s all get this straight. I’m ALL for cheaters and losers like her husband being called out. Let’s stop letting them hide and have the privilege of privacy for their disgusting actions. You chose this. Now live with it.

Who is this person and why does anyone care?

He deserves to be dragged. Jeeze if I didn’t have to work and had a cushy life funded for me I’d never step out and would be the best partner!!

WAIT the other person is 56? Man I need her to be a new real housewife.
QueenOfPurple on
That is awful. I’m glad she is speaking out so others know they aren’t alone and this is not their fault. So many awful partners rely on people’s silence about their terrible action.
