“When talking to police about the allegation, Curtin said, Labrie often sidetracked conversations to mention his accomplishments in school. He sent her his college essay, and at one point asked, “Do you know anything about me?”

It’s so weird how saying “I’m sorry” doesn’t magically negate years of violent abuse.

“I didn’t ask for a public apology—if I asked for one at all—but I think if he’s going to apologize, he should do it individually.”

“I don’t like the concept of monogamy, but I DO like letting my wife believe I do so she’ll be home with a hot dinner waiting for me at night, keeping the house clean and parenting my children so I have plenty of time and mental space to obsess about what else I deserve out of life.”

I dunno dude, maybe disclose this desire to your partner and let her determine whether she agrees that “the role we play together as parents feels more important than my splitting us up so that I can seek out potential pussy options”?

Just gross. I mean, this guy’s marriage is clearly all about him. Ugh. Not you know, him and his wife. Just a convenient arrangement for himself. Blegh.

“So eventually I came to the conclusion that I needed a side thing to be happy and signed up on Ashley Madison. I considered divorce but there really wasn’t massive personal discord. I mean, we don’t connect anymore, not in the same way, but we don’t hate each other. And ultimately the role we play together as parents…

I’m all for this guy trying to have a better sex life, but at the expense of betraying his wife? “And ultimately the role we play together as parents feels more important than my splitting us up so that I can seek out potential pussy options.” - Shouldn’t his wife have some say in this? If he thinks it’s ok to step…

This. You don’t “find yourself” being a piece of human garbage. It’s a conscious choice. He chose it. He’s not a victim of circumstance, and no external power kept him from doing the only moral thing: asking his wife for an open marriage and failing that, exiting his marriage.

‪I had an unexpected affair three years ago.

I do like that anyone who objects to infidelity was preemptively called a “hater,” though. Stay classy, Tracy.

Well, I know it’s going to be easy to criticize this guy and everything he did but, in fairness, I think he did a great job directing Argo.

I didn’t like any of this. As someone who has been cheated on multiple times, this made me queasy. I didn't like his answers or candor about it. No I will not "find myself in this situation someday", if I am with someone and want to be with someone else, I'll end my current relationship first cuz I'm not a fuckhead.

Everyone knows that gathering with friends while consuming wine should be a silent, joyless affair.

She just looks like the type of woman who would get mad at others for being happy while she’s trying to get her solitary drunk glower on.

Looks like the other women on board were traveling on the White Whine train.

Okay seriously I have been to Napa Valley and although I’ve never been on the wine train, literally every single place in Napa is white women getting drunk and being loud. Every where. Even French Laundry. And that place is hoity toity af.

HMMMM. I’m wondering why he is, as he said, okay with her doing “way, way more” for the household than he. Is he doing more paid work? While his partner seems to be okay with it, women can have a way of -how shall I put this?- settling.

Except those cans say “share with a showstopper”, not that she is one. She should go find one. At least her friend can share with her.

One of my students shaded the hell out of me this morning. I mentioned that we needed to start the quiz earlier because classes were shortened this week and this girl goes “Weird. Your class seemed longer than normal.”
