[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Her decision to move forward stoically without answers, without even talking to the OW DH, is very WASPy, but it could be something else. Many toxic people claim to "have no idea" why they were abadoned, but they were told why, and just would not accept it.

Publishing this article is not very WASPy, and it is smelling fishier to me the more I think on it. It makes him look bad, yes, but it makes her look bad too. Why would she do this thing her class has been raised not to do? Seems like an abuser's stance: I'll take you down WITH me.

Also I think she's overstating the abandonment of the kids. I would bet he still sees them, but declined to fight for custody of teens, set in their routines and a few years from independence. That's actually a fine fatherly decision. He also may not have been willing to fight on that point because he knew she'd get vicious and it would hurt the kids further.

[b]Total conjecture, but she might be the bad guy, I see plenty of red  flags, like it was an abuser/victim role reversal[/b][/quote]

This. First red flag is that she’s suggesting the guy is a sociopath. Well why did she marry him?

I’m married to a wealthy man who is quite evil and would fight me for custody. If we were to divorce I’d likely give up custody. I simply don’t have it in me to go to war with him. It’s not the best thing for the kids.  I’m a woman and can absolutely see man taking this approach. Your average well educated man with a solid career doesn’t just walk away from his kids for no reason. She’d either being dishonest about his involvement with the kids or [b]he gave up custody for legit reasons.[/b]

Unfortunately his legit reasons (not wanting to poke the toxic bear) failed to accomplish his desired goal — to make a smooth, gray-rock exit.  His fears of her ability to exact revenge proved legitimate — she did a number on his reputation via the NYT.  The publicity probably hangs over his new relationship still.  Mission accomplished.

DP. I don’t buy it. If she was truly that toxic where he felt he needed to gray-rock exit then he had a responsibility to his children not to leave them abandoned to their toxic mom. He’s an adult man and they are children. [/quote]

The results speak for themselves:  millions of non-celebrities get divorced but only this one manages to enlist the NYT in trashing her ex’s reputation.  Talk about not caring about their children — she creates a situation where forever they will live with public knowledge that their dad is supposedly an awful gold-digging narcissistic cheater.  Who tries to pull moves like that?  And why didn’t the NYT realize that there was no effective anonymity in what they were publishing?[/quote]

I wonder what prompted this spate of pro-husband spin posts. Fewer decent party invites this year?[/quote]
