Yes it showed me the only victim was the deceased wife. The OW was a horrible woman, and the husband who kept gaslighting her. If you listen to the last week of the tape it's apparent the wife is going through a nervous breakdown. Warning it's really difficult to listen to, but she talks about how horrible he is. Calls him a man child, and so on. What really floored me was how the OW kept pursuing her spouse after getting fired from her job. The wife telling the Ow's husband, and yet she kept doing her best to ruin this woman's life. It certainly shows there are many educated people that are truly stupid, and immoral. |

| Mark and Meredith were disgusting people. Jennair’s actions are not justified but they are understandable, she was treated extremely cruelly by her husband and his nasty girlfriend. I hope she is resting in peace. No sympathy for the cheaters. |

| I bet she’s been declining mentally for years and that’s why the marriage fell apart. |

I assume this is a troll but it’s not even a good troll. Not plausible. |

I agree. She could have easily have a great future, but when someone is having a break down they don't have the mental facilities to see that. I got his book from Kindle (free), and honestly not much he could really say that was bad about her. It seems like after the cheating is when she became obsessive with finding out if and when he was seeing the OW. He promised to go to counseling to work on the marriage, and yes she kept tabs on him to see if he was keeping his word. Which of course he wasn't. She was having health problems at the time, and scheduled to undergo a hysterectomy so a lot going on most didn't know. Another tidbit, he had cheated on her years earlier when he was overseas so he alone messed up the trust she had for him. At the end of the day, he wasn't a decent guy and she hung in there for whatever reason. |

No I think pp called it right from everything I've read. |

No there wasn't anything to point to that. Actually it seemed like his behavior, and poor judgement was always the problem. She had to be the parent in the relationship. He's on FB, and still doesn't have a real job with a real retirement. Whereas she was more grounded in finances. By all accounts their marriage was fairly decent until he met the OW. On his FB he had glowing compliments toward his wife. He couldn't rewrite that history. |

The wife was not a victim. Yes, being cheated on sucks- it’s also something many, if not most people experience at some point. You can move on. These women can’t now- the wife ended that chance for both of them. |

| ^ “Most” people do not experience cheating. You must associate with crappy people. The wife was most definitely a victim in this case - of her husband and the OW, who cares only about themselves. The OW was also a victim, but a much less sympathetic one. |

And who did the wife care about? She was not a victim. She was an idiot thinking her worth was attached to a piece of slime. She was the biggest idiot of the three of them. Who kills over a man? I wouldn't even quarrel with another woman over a man. That's not love: it's obsession. |

You have a REALLY odd way of looking at things. Bizarre. |

NP. What is bizarre about the above post? The poster is saying that the wife was the biggest idiot of the three because she could have taken the high road and bowed out gracefully when her husband’s shameful actions were revealed. But instead (1) she murdered the OW, (2) she killed herself, (3) all because of a dipsh*t man who probably didn’t really care about either one of them and went on to live the rest of his life repercussion-free. A smart woman would not have taken this as an affront to her, but rather seen this as a serious character flaw in him that she chooses not to tolerate. |

After reading this thread today I searched and listened to a couple of episodes of the podcast Bad Bad Thing. The final episode is an interview between the podcast host, a psychologist/psychotherapist and Mark Gerardot. It was very interesting and shed more light on things. Most noteworthy is that he clearly lives in serious grief over the events and has made an effort, at no benefit to himself (he hasn’t received any funds for his appearances and everything he receives from the book he wrote goes to charity) to raise awareness about suicide prevention and the impact on spousal mental health of infidelity. He’s released a lot of material Jennair left behind - a letter to her family and various recordings he made - revealing that she chose to kill Meredith and herself instead of him so that he would spend the rest of his life in pain over his actions. Apparently, he is.
Again I don’t condone Jennair’s actions. But she met him as a teenager and he and their marriage was her entire adult life. He lacked empathy in how he handled the situation in asking for a divorce - strung her along pretty cruelly - and she was suffering physical and mental health issues, was recently unemployed and consequently feeling devalued in general, and he’d moved her far from friends and family. It isn’t a surprise that she snapped and plotted the murder-suicide. |
