Would it be better if she was forced to lose primary custody and not see her kids half the time? I believe a child needs both parents, but there is some nuance when one parent has been the primary parent all along.


While she comes from money, she was mostly illiquid, and he was working 24-7 to support that lifestyle. I am familiar with that NY finance lifestyle and you can’t have it both ways. If you want the country house, private school and nice apartment then your husband is mostly absent unless you have generational wealthy to use. It’s not surprising he was mostly absent. I highly doubt she ever offered to return to work so he could scale back and spend time with the kids. She instead probably wanted that Colony Club membership more. Then they get divorced and it makes sense she continued on as the primary and really only true parent.

IMHO the gentlemanly thing to do wasn’t for him to leave her AND take her kids half the time while he was at it. He probably thought he was choosing the lesser of two evils.

I’ve known plenty of these NY women and they are vapid, shallow and their main priority is the lifestyle and social life. I’d be shocked if she’s not similar.

this is the best comment in this thread and as a Native New yorker this is so true.

Your average person can easily fall for her story. If you have any experience with her world then you can poke many holes in her story.

Also everyone on the internet claims the guy is a narcissist with a personality disorder. No way. Any man with a personality disorder/narcissist would be speaking out to the media and relishing in the drama. Instead he’s been quiet with the exception of one statement that said very little. That’s not how a narcissist responds to conflict.

You’re very naive about narcissism and personality disorders.

Wouldn’t a narcissist go nuts in a divorce? It doesn’t seem common to to MIA and leave the ex-spouse alone. I thought they like conflict, no?

Yes.By making the legal process as awful as possible. It's not always about stalking and harassing.

Doesn’t sound like he did this.

Yes he did. He put Belle Burden through the wringer financially and backed off only at the last minute.

Yes. He chose to litigate and only settled at the 11th hour before the trial began. I am betting he settled because he knew a trial would not be favorable to him but he dragged it out as long as possible because he is psycho. It’s text book actually.

I think he was terrible/selfish/personality disordered for not wanting custody but I do agree that it seems her life essentially revolved around her children and the upper class lifestyle she enjoyed, without accounting for the fact that the type of husband to provide that lifestyle would have to be away from home so much and that that was a risky situation. I think he probably wanted to be away and at work regardless of whether she wanted to pitch in and have a career of her own but she sure seems like the type that didn't want to work and believed women should be SAHMs.

She grew up extremely privileged and had an excellent education so she's not a terrible writer, but is she smart? No.

Generally people that are into being mothers don’t ship their kids off to boarding school and let them quarantine with another family during covid. This lady is dull and helpless. And her writing sucks — I don’t know what kind of crap y’all read that you think this was a good book.

Someone’s clearly clueless about wealthy families.

On the contrary, I’m aware of how wealthy families generally have bad parents.

Anonymous wrote:The author wrote a NYT Modern Love column 5 years ago about the abrupt demise of her marriage and how her husband immediately walked out after his affair was discovered and told her to keep the kids and everything else. Now she’s written a book about her experience. It’s generating buzz because she’s from an elite old-money New York family. I can somewhat understand dumping a spouse cold turkey but who leaves their kids?

Would be great for the kids to tell their version events. Their dad seems like a dick.

It’s true that it’s common for very wealthy families in New York to live like this and frankly, it’s terrible. The kids are all messed up and there is rampant substance abuse and infidelity. Just because it’s common doesn’t mean that it means she actually is a great mother.
