This would be better if the red circle didn't cover the article dates.

Perpetual victim. Seen it. I call it Pretty Girl Syndrome.

"Everyone treats me like gold because I'm beautiful!"

And then she's shocked when anyone tells her to get bent.

Yeah, I'm going to go ahead and say that Elle Silver seems like a bitch you don't want to be with.

Fafo?

Vain Asylum sounds about right

Looks like there's some highly tarnished Silver available if anyone's interested.

Man, divorced women sure do have it rough

Did she write the "I cheated on my husband" article while still married to him? That's amazing

Ok just my opinion, so clearly there might be some flack from the community, but I am glad she writes articles like this. It seems to be her form of outlet to process her emotions, decisions and their consequences. I think that is what these articles are an account from a person who knows they are flawed, knows they do not make the right decisions but are making decisions that are against common sense and she is documenting it as she goes. It is fascinating and past the schadenfreude that her consequences have given, the handful of articles I have quickly glanced she seems to be brutality honest discussion about her decisions and her struggles with the consequences.

Just for some pretext here: I'm not trying to defend this woman because I know nothing about her.

That being said and just for everyone's information, there is a scenario in which what she said is logical and fair.

It used to be that women were not allowed to have careers and some people still choose to practice that. So the women agree when entering into the marriage that they'll be homemakers and the husband will earn money and take care of her. If the husband doesn't keep up his end of the duties in that arrangement and they wind up being divorced then she now has no means to provide for herself. This is why alimony was initially created, so that women who were forced (or in the modern day chose) to be homemakers weren't absolutely fucked in the case of divorce.

Again, I'm not saying that's what's happening here, I have no idea, but I just wanted to provide some potential context because I find a lot of talk about alimony and divorce online often just dumps on women as being greedy and that's just not fair in every situation.

I gotta say though, it sure looks that way in this situation, especially with her talking about cheating on her husband, but again, who knows, maybe he's not holding up his end, maybe he's physically or emotionally abusive, we just don't know.

You love to see it.
