I am so curious about the author’s motivation for publishing this. She is so connected that I would have thought she would rather keep things private.

Way too googleable. Hard to believe there’s no revenge motive, since she portrays herself as pure as the driven snow. (And she lost 20 pounds of excess mom weight — yippie). Perhaps she thinks she is innocent of vengefulness because she goes easy on him. But really his reputation has been sullied. Which I am sure she is more than fine with.

I can't imagine putting such little effort into a post. Are you visiting from NYT marketing, trying to drum up a few clicks? Sad.

He left her and abandoned their kids-I’m not broken hearted abt his reputation being sullied.

[Anonymous]

I have a hard time believing that she, a lawyer, did not want *any* details from the other woman’s husband. Really? No curiosity there?

[Anonymous]

What a POS. Not even any interest in his children.

Belle Burden?
Is that a real name?

I think it's fascinating and took a lot of courage to share. Are you connected to the husband or something? Abandoning kids is trash.

The in-laws sound just as bad. If my one of my siblings ghosted their spouse and the spouse called me up for answers, Id be working to get to the bottom of it. Loving and supporting my siblings doesn't mean I follow their lead in mistreating their spouse and kids.

Similar. Completely blind-sided by an affair right when the pandemic started. It was absolutely brutal. Not being able to be near anyone, getting no comfort dealing with the scariness of March 2020 when all was unknown and faced with a stranger, a stranger I knew for 26 years and all that time was still sleeping with me, telling me he loved me and planning nice things.

Your brain just can’t compute that.

Yep. My MIL was a see u next Tuesday. Yet she called me when his brother’s wife had an affair and told me how she confronted her and she’s a POS—-but when it was her son that did it…oh there must have been something wrong. She was divorced from a cheating alcoholic who she shot a bullet over his head that went into a bedroom wall when my husband was 6 and then basically ignored him and his brother —-years later moved some greasy smoker bf into the house who she put in front of her kids….she plays the narcissistic martyr really well now that she’s 80.

Okay, lady.

I bet he had a coldness to him that she chose to ignore because he was a hot accomplished lawyer. Don’t blame her though, I would have ignored it too.
