Status Updates From Marriage Undercover: Thrivi...

They're really pushing the idea that men and women can never just be friends which

That's gross man

You're gross

I'm not convinced Dr Don is a doctor

See he's conflating adultery in media with casual sex in media is what's happening

These people have such a weird relationship w Gd

Okay so she did actually have sex with this guy.

I'd have liked if she'd made that clear before the halfway point of the book but I'm glad she clarified.

And the reason she had to clarify is because she seems to think finding a guy attractive while being friends with him counts as cheating on your spouse.

Which it doesn't.

I'm gonna be real man if your partner confesses to an affair and your biggest concern is that she might be pregnant with absolutely 0 signs that she might be

You're a freak

Idk who told Leo and this lady that "women use both sides of their brains simultaneously whereas men tend to only use one side" but that's literally not true.

Like that's factually incorrect

Also this just seems like such an exhausting miserable way to live your life

She's now blaming a demon for her affair.

I need this lady to tell me specifically what she did

Because she keeps talking about "soulical adultry" and I need to know if she actually cheated on her husband or if she just had sexual thoughts w a close male friend

Like literally no source on the claim that 80% of married women are imagining someone other than their partner when they have sex with their partner

That's awesome. I love to just Make Up Numbers

They also just make up statistics

That's so awesome

My favourite thing about this kind of person is that if they don't like the actual statistics they just go "but if you count (thing that is objectively different) the number is really much higher" and like

Yeah

I mean this is an absolutely damning critique of Christian culture and how it affects straight people but idk why she's blaming this on anything but the actual culture that produced it

Also divorce rates are DOWN and the association for the protection of children and families is not a reliable source

Looking at porn on the internet and cheating on your partner are two different things actually

Cheating on your partner is still extremely frowned upon actually

Western society actually does not encourage infidelity

Like that's just A Lie

Yeah man so this sounds like maybe you should've just gotten a divorce

See I also want these details bc these people are very weird so I want to know if she even had like an actual real affair Or if she just had vaguely romantic feelings towards a close male friend

"I saw the hurt in their eyes"

I'm just confused about why her parents care that she cheated on her husband

Like

Hello??? Am I crazy???

Sorry if you're not getting a divorce and you're not telling your kids that your partner cheated on you

Why the fuck are you telling your parents

Look man you don't have to tell everyone your parent had an affair if you don't want to and you don't have to get a divorce if you don't want to this is just an insane way to talk about both of those things I think

Calling sleeping in separate beds for one night after an affair divorce culture is crazy

Just really weird to call some random ass minister and not like a qualified relationship counselor I think

Stop doing bolder inline quotations of your own lines from literally a paragraph ago it's so obnoxious aaaaaaaaaa

The way cishet people talk about developing romantic feelings sounds insane to me

Like sorry you don't know how to be attracted to someone without acting on it but that's a you problem

This interspersing of random quotes from the test into the text itself but in bold this time the way some magazines do it really annoying

I'm still waiting for her to describe the adultery that took place bc it's either going to be a real actual affair or it's going to be that she had a close male friend and is involved in a community that considers that to be adultery

There is no in between here

Personally I think sometimes one forward is too many forwards for a book so this book having TWO forwards is bonkers
