He was kissing her wearing his wedding band 6 years prior.

So what. Adults are allowed to be sexual. It's normal. Their marriage is not our business. Who knows what private arrangements either of them have in their marriages. Maybe his wife is aware -- very likely -- and is not mortified that her marriage is spread eagle, pun intended, on social media. Butt out and let people be normal sexual beings. So sick of this anti-sexuality attitude in America. It's bizarre.

Highly doubtful this was an open marriage or his wife had an inkling. Because if it was he wouldn’t have to take a leave of absence from work to go to counseling during the middle of the draft.

I love the folks, always men, who are like “the wife probably knows and is fine with it!”.

Newsflash: she didn’t and doesn’t, or did and doesn’t.

Those of us calling out betrayal as wrong aren’t anti-sex. We’re anti-@sshole.

It’s not anti-sex. It’s anti-lying.

He probably thinks "she never specifically said I couldn't so I did it anyway and just never told her..."

Who knows what he was thinking. But PP who is like “the wife probably knows and doesn’t care!” is either a cheater, involuntarily single, or a parasocial individual.

Women’s kinks are not being betrayed and publicly humiliated.

There is no such thing as an "open marriage" in the Catholic Church. Both coach Vrabel and Mrs. Russini claim to be devout Catholics, with Russini parading around with a giant cross above her exposed breasts in every photo and video hit she does.

Anti sexual has nothing to do with anti cheating.

News flash: None of us truly know what was going on behind closed doors at the Vrabel home. But we CAN deduce from the fact that he had been dating Russini for six years and they were both to known to show up at her annual party at the NFL draft or whenever. Not exactly on the DL!

It is entirely plausible that Mrs. Vrabel acknowledged the difficulty many long term relationships face and decided she did enjoy being Mrs. NFL head coach, but she doesn't want to be made a fool of in public and the press. Which is what Vrabel ended up doing to her, with his clearly nonchalant dating behavior with Russini.

Mrs. Vrabel has Mike by the balls and Mike knows it. Makes a lot of sense.

If she worked in his organization he wouldn't. But she doesn't. Her job is very different. I don't see why this is so hard to understand.

Exactly. People need to stop acting like poor her, fired because she's a helpless woman. She's a woman who was having an affair with the subject of her reporting. He wasn't. It's that simple.

Let me guess, you work for the government or government adjacent-industry in the DMV? You have no idea how tenuous it is to be a print journalist trying to make a living in the internet era.

So you think every female journalist is sleeping with her sources just to make a living?

She just had no other choice, right? She's the most injured party in all of this.

I actually think she hired the private detective that took the pics and knew the worst thing she could do to them was go public with the pics. Burn the house down as she leaves.

Why on earth would she release the pics and humiliate herself?

It’s the oldest storyline. Ruin the truck, throw the stuff in the yard. or plaster how horrible they are in the one spot both of their networks of personal and professional would see it.

Who else would care enough to do this? They aren’t yhst important. Those shots were taken from a roof with a long lens's. As others have said - infidelity happens -all-the-time.

No they aren't, but in the cutthroat world of today's modern journalism it is completely understandable to do what needs to be done to put food on the table.

Meh, I think you underestimate the allure of the affair piece of it. A lot of people find that once the excitement of sneaking around is gone, there isn't actually anything else there. Not all of them, of course, but I don't think they are "clearly" in love because it has lasted this long.

No, I'm sure both the affair and the public nature of it are both unbelievably humiliating and upsetting. Their kids are going to be surrounded by people (parents and kids) who know. That's awful.

Also, your post smacked a bit of victim blaming, so let's leave Mrs. Vrabel about of this, shall we? And no, I'm not a wife who has been cheated on but have some decency, that isn't a high bar.

As a mother, I would never do this. You don't burn a house down when you have kids in it.
