Open marriages are so stupid. Like, if you want an open relationship, I think that's weird, I think it probably won't work out, but you do you. But exclusivity is one of the big elements of a marriage, so an open marriage is just an extra layer of stupid on top.
When what used to be a legal reason for divorce (adultery), is now lauded as “cool” you have to question everything else you were sold as “cool”. They just play the Overton window and keep pushing.
I mean, marriage is also supposed to be until death, and we got rid of that more than half a century ago.
Its being a meaningless thing ever since, beyond government benefits. Getting mad about the stupidity now is like complaining about a cut on your thigh while your diabetic foot is rotting off.
In my time in the military I saw cheaters, cheatees, when a relationship changes over long distance, when a relationship changes on moving somewhere new, and only once I saw an “open marriage” it fell apart within a year and it was because the military spouse came back to a pregnant woman.
I feel bad for him. Did he do it all to himself? Of course. However, you'd think that submersing yourself in the right wing online culture, even to grift, would have some of that rub off onto you. I think he may just have been lonely and willing to do anything to get a woman.
Apparently open relationships and “sex work” quantify a healthy marriage nowadays, don’t you dare check back on these couples in 5 years.
Isn't the average under $50/month?
I know that at one point, the lifetime average account earning was around $500.

Remember, though, the slippery slope isn't real.
And don't you dare look at history and make any comparisons.

Is that what turned him super lefty?
Depressing, but it sounds like he did it to himself.

No, he turned left a few years ago. He turns into the avatar of soy when he does debates. Idk how he was ever right wing
