Since I haven’t started a new relationship without ending my marriage, I don’t know what I would say under the circumstances. I think it’s fine for him to give more accurate facts, if the other writer’s claims were incorrect. I also think it’s disingenuous for him to say he never considered anyone would find his actions inappropriate.
Thanks.
“I think it’s fine for him to give more accurate facts, if the other writer’s claims were incorrect.”
Indeed, he did.
“I also think it’s disingenuous for him to say he never considered anyone would find his actions inappropriate.”
So, if I understand you correctly, he did well by responding, whereas his statement about becoming engaged before formally divorced is your concern and prompted the “wounded naif” accusation.
Upon review, in my view, I disagree with your accusation that “the wounded naif act was a little weak.”
Appreciate the exchange.
