I mean, I get it. I can try to put myself in his shoes. It can’t be fun to get away with lying and cheating on your wife for four years, and then she has the nerve to speak up about what you’ve done.

But as I told him in an email earlier today, “the word you’re looking for is ‘consequences.’”

This was right after I reminded him that “defamation” is defined as “the act of communicating false statements about a person that injure the reputation of that person.”

Key word: false.

If you can’t tell me where the lie is, well.
