Actual article: https://www.elle.com/life-love/opinions-features/a44007231/anna-marie-tendler-petunia-essay/ Has anyone else been feeling badly for her? It seems like John Mulaney cheated on her. Such a bummer because I really like his standup, but I hate cheating even more. |
I do feel bad for her. I don’t think Mulaney was in his right mind when he left her…addiction is crazy. |
I think both suffered from mental health problems and that was a bad combo. |
He was really, really sick when he cheated on her. I watched his new special and he talks about it. He didn't talk about her, if I remember, but he describes his addiction pretty candidly. Very sad for everyone involved. |
Don't most people cheat at some point or other? |
Absolutely not. Plenty of people would just never hurt someone like that. But this is a thing that bad people say to get away with being bad. |
It's sad all around. Didn't he mention, maybe in standup or maybe in interviews?, how they were happy as a couple without kids? Then he's with another woman and she's pregnant almost immediately? I had the impression that some of his fans were put off by that circumstance. I do realize he was extremely addicted and sick, but I also question the choices of someone who wants to be with an addict who's clearly doing things, and making his own choices, under the influence of drugs. |
Not in my family on my mother's side or father's side, not any of their friends. One of their very close work friends cheated on his wife and they divorced. Not any of my or my husband's married friends. Not anyone in DH's family (I just asked him). So, no? |
+1. I feel bad for her, but I also think they enabled each other and he wouldn't have gotten better with her. |
She needs to move past this. It's getting pathetic |
It's quite comical that you believe this to be true. |
Here’s what I think happened. He was spinning out into addiction and they separated. She assumed they would eventually reconcile, but they didn’t. She’s used this opportunity to pint him as a villain and her as a victim and influencer. I’ve found her smear campaign distasteful, especially making a huge fuss out of freezing her eggs despite previously not wanting kids, and acting like John having a kid in a subsequent relationship is some kind of high betrayal. |
How on earth does this person/story get published in a national magazine? Rich white lady breakup dog therapy is really a worthy thing? Seriously, how did this happen? Is her dad a publicist? Was there a journalist deal to get us the dirty laundry on mulvaney and she said only if you will publish this story on my dog bond? I really want to know how a person like this gets ink??!! So many writers/reporters out there busting their butts with unique stories and somehow she is more relevant for having a famous ex boyfriend who dumped her from rehab? I don’t get it. |
Ok I loved this article and I hate dogs |
Uh... no. Is this really what some people believe? What a ridiculous self-serving lie. What if I said "Don't most people hit their spouses at some point or another?" or "Don't most people secretly run up massive credit card bills and not tell their spouse until they are so deep in debt that it has destroyed their credit and joint financial stability?" It actually is possible to just choose not to hurt the people you love and have pledged fidelity to. |
