But that doesn’t detract from how annoying and out of touch she is online as well. Just can’t imagine anyone is buying it.

I knew him and Kristen to be cordial. Very confuse as to what happened there.

I don't think it's hard to figure out. They were definitely friendly coparents. Lots of photos of them together, and Mark and Kristen's boyfriend together, and they even all traveled together. Right up until the time Mark started dating Anna. Based on how shitty she is to Kristen, her ex-husband and her ex's fiance online, I can't even imagine how much worse she is in private. If two divorced people coparent well until a new partner is in the picture, the new partner is more than likely the problem.

One could argue Kristen was terrible and bad at boundary settings like Anna’s ex fiancée wrote about into the podcast. I think she’s likely terrible, but food for thought.

Kristen and Mark were chasing D list fame with her blog. But I think Kristen started getting really uncomfortable with some of the big names she rubbed shoulders with, like the Duck Dynasty folks. I recall how out of place she looked on the-I kid you not-camouflage- "red" carpet at the premiere of the new Duck Dynasty season.

They had a nice house but Kristen was always doing renovations and must have been exhausting to live with. She once described taking out a support wall as a small project. There were a ton of pages about her blog on the Get Off My Internet snark boards.

“Special undergarments” is a term I will never unhear.

Happy vtines from a couple who couldn’t be less annoying if they tried.

Looks like the Howertons 2.0 spent the weekend skiing in Park City instead of going to his oldest daughter's family weekend at her college campus. Kristen and all the other kids were there and the boyfriend was in pictures she posted too. I get being busy or work stuff but he was just on another vacation? I really don't think Mark has any relationship with his kids at this point. Very sad. Especially for a marriage and family therapist.

This is really sad because I knew Mark when he lived out here and he was a fairly attentive dad for most of their childhoods. Poor India, but maybe good that she was spared having to deal with Anna? Kristen's boyfriend seems like a cool guy. I saw him at a play our kids were all in.

I really hope Marks kids don’t follow Mark or Anna and see all that he does for his step kids, while he’s noticeably absent in their lives. I only knew him peripherally but echo what was said above, he seemed very involved and present in his kids lives. I also hope Anna’s ex’s fiancee doesn’t follow her either because she incessantly talks about him on podcasts, posts, etc. Like girl move on!

On the latest poorly edited podcast Anna was on she goes on to just TRASH Tim yet again, making him forgetting to get her a bday present the reason for her divorce… completely leaving out the fact that she cheated for a while. How does she live with herself lying while putting “one of her best friends” (ex) down.

“I am just so happy.. (with a man who left his kids so I don’t have to deal with them or his ex wife)”

completely leaving out the fact that she cheated

I’m honestly curious about that part. Did Tim find out, and was that why they split? Anna doesn't seem like the kind of person who would leave without something else lined up. Did she leave for the guy she was cheating with and then it didn’t work out?

And the way she talks about Mark being the prize just feels over the top. Her ex seems attractive and successful, and the Mark and Dooce thing was pretty public. I don't know any of them and heard about it. It is so odd to act like this is some dream relationship with a guy who cheated with his wife's friend and is a deadbeat dad and most people know about both of those things. Maybe she's hoping to find an audience that doesn't know.

To my knowledge, yes she did stay with the guy she cheated on Tim with. The guy she dated prior to the fling with Craig. It’s also been highly debated if she actually left. Her ex husband actually sued her (aka filed for divorce) and moved out. So I think her being the leaver is a bit of an exaggeration.

Wow. Not a shred of self awareness or humility. I hope one of these bogus podcasts asks her flat out about infidelity.

What’s with the chugging water during these solo videos? Is it an attempt to seem less rehearsed? It is so distracting and strange

Mark is more attractive in person; on film he looks really kind of goofy. In person, he is much more confident and personable.

I was thinking the same? I’ve gotta hand it to her in that she’s tried to switch up her solo talking to the camera vibes, when I feel like maybe just stopping that altogether may garner better results. The tidbit about a clients oral sex behavior caused me to gasp, though I know nothing is off limits.
