      - The thought of anyone suffering in an abusive relationship bothers me, but my suspicions about this individual are hard to ignore. -- nm - David Oct 18, 12:04 12
        
        There’s two things going on simultaneously which is what makes it harder to grok. Is there really abuse? And is this grift? I think it’s both by both. - Qale Oct 18, 14:25
        
        This sounds dangerously close to “they’re porn stars, they can’t be assaulted” logic. - Will Hunting Oct 18, 12:33 8

        It's more than she's lied about this multiple times for four years. So, she's the boy who cried wolf. -- nm - David Oct 18, 12:36 2
        
        “This” isn’t marriage. “This” is severe spousal abuse/control. Focus on the thing that matters. Not the incel-justification for why she deserves it -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 18, 13:27 1
        
        Dude, if you review literally every conversation about her, you'll notice that I believe nothing out of her mouth. - David Oct 18, 13:29
        
        I'm still saving most of my disdain for the people upset that Internet Lady wasn't actually in love with them. -- nm - Reagen Oct 18, 12:25 1
