I may be in a bit too into zombies. My first thought was of “Zombieland”:

Everyone has to deal with infidelity in a way with which they’re comfortable. I will say, though, that until you’ve faced it personally in a long-term relationship involving kids, family, and various other sunk costs it’s hard to predict how you will react, mainly because discovering an affair is a sudden, jolting,…

We persist in problematizing and morally censuring those involved in extramarital relationships, when the real problem—monogamy itself—goes unchallenged.

Posing a huge lie to someone you love may be common, but it is still despicable. My hope is that people aspire to be honest with the people they love, rather than humiliate them behind their backs.

This is why I will never get married. Fuck that and fuck the BS that men bring into their relationships.

Yes but dumb people take that as an ok people are doing this and its exciting “I MUST DO THIS TOO”. I’ve never watched this show and hate anything that has to do with affairs.

This show is fucking garbage. Normalizing affairs and making them look ok IS NOT OK. They are hurtful and traumatic. Yeah some relationships are complicated but if BOTH partners agree with the extra person(s) involved thats ok because BOTH consented. BUT when one does it behind your back and says nothing THAT IS NOT…

This is faulty logic. Murders have always been a thing but it doesn’t mean you should do it. If you’re bored after 30 years of marriage and your partner isn’t ok with you getting tail on the side or has an expectation of monogamy, then get a divorce instead of thinking your own needs are higher than everyone else.

I also liked how individual narratives stressed that person’s relative lack of agency: when he tells the story, she is much more forward than he is, and he is almost seduced. When she tells the story, it’s the reverse — it makes it seem like he wanted it more than her. I like this emphasis on the self-serving function…

This is what happens when people badly want to normalize something in order to shift guilt off themselves. Next we will hear from evolutionary psychology pundits on how it is natural for people (men) to cheat due to wanting to lay their seed in the wombs of as many women as possible.

But then you are just trying to avoid the inevitable and adding betrayal on top. If you are that detached from your partner, then you need to end it like adults. Running from a “difficult conversation” is very unfair to the person you are married to.

The affair is both their responsibility. How he wrecks his family is his responsibility.

This is a very problematic topic. For example, if you have two people who both agree that they will marry but will be comfortable with some straying within some specific parameters, then hey! Go for it! I do believe that traditional marriage isn’t necessarily a one-size-fits-all thing.

I am so fucking ancient. I’m off to yell at clouds.

I find taunting fathers by having sex with their daughters to be exemplary of the worst mysoginst mindsets. Women are objects that men trade between them, and they lose value somehow when other people have sex with them.

I wonder what the age range of the users of that app is, likely has an impact on the result.

She is lovely. The dress is atrocious.

I have a child. I’m still 100% committed to my dogs. If they needed to be destroyed because they were psychologically damaged, I would not drop them off at a shelter. I would have the maturity and courage to hold them while they were put to sleep.

I was pregnant with our second child and deeply in love. By this point we had been together for 7 years and married for 2. I thought he was the best thing that ever happened to me, I finally felt like I had a home with love and stability. At the time, our 1 year old was in daycare and I was attending classes during…
