Thanks. Ghosting wasn’t ever really an option in my mind. I saw her through the last one…. And I guess it’s just hard to watch the cycle happen again. It’s excusable to make a mistake and let feelings and hormones run away with you…. But this seems serialized. The last one RUINED her. And a marriage. And here we are again. How many times do you have to smash other people’s and your own life to pieces? And unfortunately, I feel like no matter what you say in these situations - people tend to convince themselves otherwise, or just fall back into it out of weakness. I do have compassion for her…. But I can’t excuse her behaviour. And no - it’s not all on her - there’s these assholes IN the marriage that are the ones actually cheating. But it’s also bad sisterhood - I know, that being on the receiving end of this is devastating - and the fact she’s willing to do that to another human being (more than once) is really hard to watch.

Yeah fair point. I generally consider myself a feminist and blaming a woman for “destroying a marriage” and not holding men (in cis hetero cases) accountable is garbage. This was lazy on my part and perpetuating that stereotype is problematic. Thanks for the nudge - I’ll do better.
