Eh. I'm happy for her--sounds like she can go out and enjoy her fame and explore her sexuality etc etc. It sounds like they'll be amicable co-parents, and they have plenty of resources. Plus, she already travels all the time I'm sure the kids are used to an unusual schedule. He might also find someone he's a better match with, and if their daughters wind up with additional loving supportive adults in their lives that's a win in my book.

Her last special definitely wasn’t great. Still love the first two. She’s so crass and it works so well. Sad for them. I hope for the sake of the kids it really is amicable.

The last special was cringy. Unfortunately, the rules are different for men and women. The jokes she made, I don’t know a single man who would not feel emasculated and hurt by them. It was a lot and not even that funny. I say that as someone who can watch her other two specials over and over.

+1000

We are in this phase right now and it is the most disconnected we've been as a couple in 10+ years. And we spent much of Covid working from home and spending almost 24/7 with each other (which is a different problem). But if one of us were traveling constantly, working weird hours, etc., I just don't know how you find space for each other. It's already so hard with really small kids who just take so much of you and jobs in mid-career and elderly parents who need more too. It's really hard. I'm with other PPs that I feel bad for them and wish them the best.

Her last standup was not funny. I’m sad for them.

Uh his family is wealthy and he has a Harvard MBA, right? I think he’ll be okay.

I’m sad for them though. But I’m sure it’s for the best.

Did you watch the stand up? She didn't have an affair-- she talked about how she almost did.


I did. I meant joking about thinking about having affairs etc.

It kind of sucks when you can see a marriage fall apart in each successive comedy special. She’s very funny but I found her last special kind of meh and I think this is sad in light of the content of the special. Not even the stuff about wanting to cheat (tho not great either) but all the stuff about what a good deal her husband got with her, getting married and having a kid literally right before her career totally took off. In retrospect it sounds like she’s making arguments both for and against her marriage. I guess now we know which side won.

I guess when most of your latest comedy special is about having an affair that’s what happens.

He is going to get off his butt and get a job again… since he won’t get any of her money due to the prenup his family made her sign.
