I'm gonna say this fits. x10.

(NSFW language)

All kidding aside, its actually very difficult to watch and I think there is something seriously mentally wrong with this woman.

That said...how this guy has the restraint he has, I don't advocate hitting a woman, but holy hell...this aint no woman.

and at "I'm sick of being your Cinderella!"

Ugh, I just watched that. I wish I hadn't. Please tell me that woman is in prison. :(

The father should also be in prison for allowing it to happen. Though I agree with what someone said earlier, she probably abuses him as well. This time it was just targeted elsewhere.

1 whole month in jail.

Ridiculous. Some people should be put down - that video easily puts her in that category.

Seems like this deserves Anonymous treatment. It's one of the most disturbing videos I've ever seen and I'm including Japanese porn and Daniel Pearl in this. Just sickening.

My mom lives across the street from a shrew. This woman is a teacher at a hoity toity private Catholic school, mother of two kids and married to a man we all feel very sorry for. She can be heard yelling at him and the kids often, especially in the summer when the windows are open. But here's the best part. She FREAKS out if somebody - ANYBODY - parks on the street in front of her house. She will come out of the house and ask you to move, she will leave notes, it's absolutely absurd.

The other night, my parents had a 40th birthday party for my sister. Knowing that a party was about to begin, I watched this woman rush out of her house, get into one of her cars, back out of her driveway and park it in front of her house so nobody else could park there. Unreal. I've never even heard of this being an issues with a human being, but man, it ticks her off.

"Judging" someone's choice of snack food is absolutely more acceptable than judging someone's worth/ability/fortitude/level of whatever because they chose to leave a toxic marriage. The snack food thing is completely trivial and effects no one in any meaningful way. It was hyperbole. I thought that was clear. I guess I'll spell it out better in the future

(I guess I should also apologize to anyone who likes Munchos more than Pringles that got offended.)

Don't mess with my Munchos. Seriously. That said, I did get that it was hyperbole. My point, more broadly, was that the limitation of discussion to trivialities is just that -- trivial. I see no reason why people cannot use their moral compass or judgment to assess what we think of a person by their intimate deeds and acts, especially when broadcast on a message board. It would seem to me that a dogmatic withholding of judgment is indicative of a sort of creeping and yet forced relativism into our discourse, and I don't agree with it.

As far as it affecting me, that is true. It generally doesn't. But I don't think that is relevant. We judge people by how they treat and affect others all the time. I'm certainly allowed to judge people, much like people are allowed to tell me to go eff the pooch. One thing I might quibble with: I'd be careful in characterizing my argument as simply stating that all divorce is about self-gratification. It isn't necessarily. It's one reason why I think divorce is abused in its modern form, but I certainly wouldn't argue that self-gratification is always a reason (primary or secondary) for divorce. I'm aware of that.

On a personal note, my brother and cousin are divorced. I've made it a point to come to terms with their decisions in a manner that I think is fair to all parties. Nobody has ever liked a scold or a ninny; in modern times, nobody likes to be a scold or a ninny. But I can't help but wonder if there isn't a sort of middle ground -- one that allows for a judgment against frivolous and selfish reasons for divorce while also permitting for compassion and understanding when all precautions have been taken going into the marriage and all attempts have been made to reconcile.

That's really my gig. I've taken a shot about divorce here at someone, and I'm not sure it was my place to do so. (Forget that, it wasn't.) That said, the ability to judge or discern a person's moral and ethical makeup from their behavior, both broadcast and in action, is also something I reserve the right to do.

Whew, thank goodness.

I'm sure it's not easy for you. Stay strong. You'll get through this.

Oh, I know. #### me, right? Especially when there are kids and quick and young weddings involved, and I'm involved as a sibling to one. I mean, it's never affected me or the SIL I built a relationship with over the years, nor my nieces and nephews. Seriously, I'm never going to have to worry about their custody battles and other arrangements -- everything down to gatherings, funerals, second weddings, second wives, step kids, etc. -- in my life. I mean, it all just magically sorts itself out, you know?

I'd faint elegantly away out of pleasure if I didn't come to terms with it, I'm sure. It'd be reality, too.

Amazing how no one realizes you are the real victim here.

Yep. I get it, and fully. Obviously it should go without saying that one should be there for their loved ones when going through a divorce. I take that as a given. But there's also problems with divorce people refuse to acknowledge. It seems to be a modern shibboleth that not only are divorcees deserving of compassion and love, but that they deserve a status of not being questioned nor judged at all when their dissolution or marriage affects many other people than just themselves.

If people can't get my broader point that divorce affects not just the parties involved, but everybody else, including their families that have spent time, effort, and energy to welcome non-blood relatives into their lives as a member of the family, then that's too bad, and would actually seem to be a quiver in my bow for the claim that divorcees and their relativist supporters are the self-involved ones. Other people have to come to terms with divorce and the parties involved if they want to function within families and friendly circles. That this might be a tricky concept to understand for some is surprising. I don't feel like I'm in the wrong here, nor am I being selfish about wondering and coming terms with other peoples' divorce and the relationships that were built through the marriage that is now dissolved by no choice of the other parties.

Snark and misattributed cries of "selfish" won't change that divorce affects a whole host of people at times. Ascribing selfishness to pragmatically self-involved concerns about basic family functions (not to mention basic family structures!) and events because of hostility subsequent to a divorce seems like a way to deflect blame and to blame the messenger about something that went wrong, especially when it's not the messenger's fault.

Maybe it ain't your message to send. I am a child of divorce I know very well the far reaching implications. However at the end of the day it was far better than learning that the man could cheat in the relationship, pretty much full time, and treat his family like a convenient place to hang rather than what an adult loving/commited relationship looks like.

I am sticking with get over yourself already. Worry less about the mote in your neighbors eye and more about the timber in yours.

This sounds a lot like one of my mother's neighbors. She doesn't live in New Mexico, does she?

No, this is Oregon, where street parking is very common. It's like she owns the street in front of her property. She's just....weird. However, she's not the ugliest shrew in the shrewery...decent legs. Butter face. Temperament is a definite turnoff.

I'm gonna say this fits. x10.

(NSFW language)

All kidding aside, its actually very difficult to watch and I think there is something seriously mentally wrong with this woman.

That said...how this guy has the restraint he has, I don't advocate hitting a woman, but holy hell...this aint no woman.

and at "I'm sick of being your Cinderella!"

Uhhhhhh...that was way more than a little painful to watch, I could only flip through about 4 mins of it. I guess you could call that restraint, but for him to subject his kids to that bile and abuse for how long he did in that video is the height of a coward. There is no way I could listen to any of my children in that much anguish from that wildebeast. I'd have to knock her out...self defense for them, right?

I agree. That's not restraint, that's irresponsible. By not confronting her, he's letting her do what she wants and is a big part of the problem.

But all his fans on Youtube will be thrilled!

one of my best friends is engaged to an absolute ####. my wife and i can not stand her. i haven't seen him since my ff draft last year.

Had the same thing. Had. Our group of friends have literally not heard from him since his wedding reception (and he's the godfather to one of our friend's son). Going on about 8 years now. I still hold out hope that he's going to divorce her one day and come back to us. He was cool as ####.
