A Marriage Lost. Lies, distortions, and selective memory are part of many disintegrating relationships. But the conflict style that Shannon describes here is unique, as gender theory allows Jamie to escalate even the most mundane disagreement into preposterous accusations of transphobic bigotry.

Talk about checking every box in terms of the negative stereotypes. Just shows that they exist did a reason.

Sounds like both of them are emotionally stunted kidults, and they managed to make that work for themselves until the husband decided to troon out.

This might not be popular opinion, but I can only muster up so much sympathy for the wife. This guy had to be a walking red flag the entire time and she either ignored it or didn’t pick up on it.

Oh, and those 30 and 40 something childless weirdos who are described in the review as being in a form of eternal adolescence with their heavy interest in video games, D and D, comics, and collecting action figures?

These are why Disney and other forms of what used to be thought of as kids entertainment have started appealing to the woke crowd. They tend to have more disposable income than many people with actual children and make their own purchasing decisions.

You're not wrong. She was happy enough to go along with it, until it became a little too all consuming. Your husband asked to fuck while watching tranny porn and that didn't throw up some red flags?
