Off topic, but I still find it weird when things get framed this way. Was the partner raped or did they cheat? So strange to read about them being an inactive character as if they don’t have personal agency. That’s not a criticism of this post. It’s funny. It just reminded me of the particular phenomenon.

I do agree with you in the gist of it… something I find flat out stupid is how many people define the “homewrecker” as the outsider that was willing to have sex with a married adult. (hell some of the time they weren’t even aware that the person was married at the time). Don’t get me wrong, anyone who knowingly has sex with someone they are aware is in a committed relationship is still IMO 100% garbage of a human. But the actual blame for the marraige falling appart is the one who had trust to betray. I view that as the difference between stealing $20 from a stranger on the street, versus stealing $20 from a close friend or relative that absolutely trusts you.

The review is about the business (and apparently the owner), not about the wife in question.

I’m sure he handled the wife in a different way, on her social media or something.
