Last July 13th, Chuck Klosterman's Ethicist column responded to a very odd request for advice:

MY WIFE’S LOVER

My wife is having an affair with a government executive. His role is to manage a project whose progress is seen worldwide as a demonstration of American leadership. (This might seem hyperbolic, but it is not an exaggeration.) I have met with him on several occasions, and he has been gracious. (I doubt if he is aware of my knowledge.) I have watched the affair intensify over the last year, and I have also benefited from his generosity. He is engaged in work that I am passionate about and is absolutely the right person for the job. I strongly feel that exposing the affair will create a major distraction that would adversely impact the success of an important effort. My issue: Should I acknowledge this affair and finally force closure? Should I suffer in silence for the next year or two for a project I feel must succeed? Should I be “true to my heart” and walk away from the entire miserable situation and put the episode behind me? NAME WITHHELD

Perhaps July 13 is about the time her husband confronted her and forced her to end it, with an ultimately positive outcome for the household, which includes two young kids.

I believe that was debunked by a tweet from Klosterman earlier today.

He said they did some fact checking and it turns out, the person who wrote that letter is NOT the husband.

Considering their combined income, that’s pretty tame wheels.
(BMW 3 series and Nissan Pathfinder? I think?)
And being in Charlotte, it’s not like the house payment would be the killer numbers it would cost in NoVa.

Who is to say that the story was not planted by the CIA

The “ethicist” says the letter is NOT from Paula’s husband....LYING?? Only he knows because he would have the sender’s E-MAil ADDRESS!! So , Klosterman.....who is it? Or is it a MADE-UP LETTER???

[Ann Archy]

Wonder what “GENEROSITY” that he “benefitted” from is???

NO MAN writes like what’s written on the SIDEWALK.....a GIRL wrote that.....the heart is drawn by a female.
