She sounds shady as hell too though, unfortunately. Even if her batshit-ness (installing spyware on her boyfriend’s computer) was fuelled by jealousy rather than being an abusive asshole. It’s hard to claim abuse and controlling ex boyfriend  when you also put spyware on his computer.

Just yesterday, I was very surprised to hear a couple of moms of my son’s friends casually admit to reading their teenage children’s texts, just for fun! To me, that seems like SUCH a breach of trust/invasion of privacy. I told them I felt like that would be the equivalent of my mom having picked up our basement phone…

she installed spyware on a computer she sold him... exactly. She sold him the computer because it already had spyware on it. She admits she didn’t take it off - she just claims she no longer had access to the spyware. Sure, champ. They both sound like lovely people.

I’ve dealt with infidelity, and I did not stoop to that level or even consider it. I suspect that the ex boyfriend is full of it, but all my sympathetic feelings left me when I saw that she was using spy ware.

Yes, cheating = AIDS and people with AIDS deserve to be spied on.

Asshole for cheating, sure, but also asshole for installing malware. They’re both assholes!

If you get to the point where you’re going to break up with someone over a concern of cheating, just break up with them. What, if you don’t find anything things will be perfect?

Ya, but if you’ve ever dealt with infidelity , you will do anything to know that shit

If you feel the need to install spyware, it’s time to break up. A lot of people fall into the trap of feeling proof is necessary, but it’s really not.

Reetz-Laiolo has been unable to provide any documents showing that they originated in his writings (often because the snippets do not actually exist in any of his writings). With regard to the few brief phrases or facts that do appear in his work in some form, these are not subject to copyright protection.

Can I ask if you’d be fine with a partner installing spyware on your computer? If that happened to you, how would you characterize it?

I’m with you on this one, invading someone’s privacy is gross even if that someone is doing gross things like cheating. They’re not married (I may give a pass to this if someone needed to collect evidence for divorce proceedings), fucking leave his ass and move on.

That is straight up abusive behavior.

Worse than a button that locks women in his office? That seems fairly damning.

Seriously, between her “bad” day and his “minor” injuries this is just an odd writeup. Unless there’s something else going on here that’s not being mentioned, this is way too glib. 

It seems odd to me that the Big Sean bit is such an emphasis as well. This is pretty serious, not the subject matter of a Twitter feud between exes.

Isn’t is Dorsey who had the bad day? You know, being assaulted and all? Am I missing crucial info here or is this all a weird tone for a article on domestic violence?

In front of the child? And it’s happened often enough that his instinct is to record it? Yeesh. I hope she gets some help and that he and the kid get out of there.

Domestic violence is never okay, and she should be held accountable for this.

thats a pretty bad take, dan.
