Bobby Betray: The Bobby Flay Cheater Scandal

bobby flay cheater

SHOCKER — Bobby Flay (cheater) got a divorce for the third time. He allegedly had a three-year affair with his assistant Elyse Tirrell, 28.

Tirrell, who gives new meaning to “Throwdown with Bobby Flay,” used to be a hostess in one of his restaurants.

For those not in the know, Flay is a celebrity leprechaun chef who saturated the market with his product endorsements.

Flay’s wife, Stephanie March, reportedly sensed something was off. According to one of her friends, PageSix.com reports:

“Elyse had always seemed so nervous when Stephanie came to one of the restaurants, and Stephanie, not knowing what was happening, went out of her way to compliment her and try to make her more comfortable. Elyse had even been to Stephanie’s home when she was there — and when she wasn’t.”

Oh, we’ve been there Stephanie.

Making nice with the affair partner, putting them at ease because gosh, they seem so uncomfortable around you! Of course, having no idea that the weirdness is because they’re fucking your spouse. Yeah… I paid the bar tab for one…

Anyway, Blobby Lay. Did anyone NOT know this guy was a total douche? I’m sorry for Stephanie March (and best of luck enforcing your prenup or overturning it, or whatever you’re trying to do to get money off the sorry bastard), but seriously he oozes smarm like he was piping it through a pastry bag.

He’s a creepy ginger-headed man who has singlehandedly put me off Greek yogurt. When he folds fruit into Fage? (Shudder)

Did anyone like this guy?

Except my cheater ex who loved Bobby Flay. (Yeah, there’s a sign. Takes a douche to know a douche.)

Cue beady-eyed sex possum Dean McDermott, who would like to give Flay some relationship advice.

McDermott told the New York Daily News:

“He needs to make some get out of jail meals for her. I would hope that they would be able to work things out because I was fortunate enough to be on that side of things working out.”

Yeah, what kind of meal says: “I’m sorry I fucked my assistant for three years”? Grilled hot dogs?

My best guess is Flay is preparing appetizer courses for his next chump…

I fell over laughing. . . Blobby Lay! I love these unexpected gems. I mean, who says that? And it’s so damn funny. Already thinking of a name change for STBX. Too bad not still married to the 1st X – his last name was Rucker. But, really, she had me at celebrity leprechaun, too. I’ve never watched him, but in the pic he really looks smarmy.

I wonder if it is common for that scenario to play out…i.e. the uncomfortable OW/OM and unknowing chump. It is a point to ponder as I wonder if the discomfort I saw with my ex and another man at one point was about this. Not that it really matters anymore. It is just a reminder the tip of the iceberg was just that, the tip. I feel bad for Stephanie in this. Hope she gets justice or close to it financially.

You’re right DM, there is a relation to the whole OW feels uncomfortable. I didn’t really process it, but yes. My X had one of his other women over with a “group” of friends, probably so I couldn’t single her out in hind sight. Everyone was polite to me and made eye contact except her. Always thought that was weird, the way she acted so quiet.

All these stories of OW/OM watching the children, chatting up the wife/husband, are 50 shades of fucked-up. To what level of cruelty would you have to descend to allow your AP intimate access to your spouse and children? These cheaters should all be neutered and spayed so that they can’t pass on any more mean-genes.

I didn’t think I’d have much to comment on in a post about Bobby Flay. But there’s the nerve -OUCH- my husband introduced OW and her family to my children as “a friend” and “training partner” and then we had family dinners, planned vacations together. It adds an extra serving of humiliation to the whole nightmare. No, in retrospect it was cramming shit down my throat like a fucking pate-bound goose.

No kids for those two disordered wing nuts!!! She’s 52 anyway which would give advanced maternal age a whole new meaning.

Opposite problem. OWhore was creepy-needy, coming to sit close next to me at an event where there were maybe 15 empty chairs on either side of me, Wrote to Fucktard how much she enjoyed seeing the two of us (yes, me and Fucktard) together (it was ‘therapeutic’), grilled him about my life, etc.

No shame, no guilt, just disordered attempts to ooze into my life (just like slime)

Oh, there’s another piece of my life that I didn’t want to examine. Once the spackle fell off of everything and I could see more clearly, I got to replay every awkward situation I’d ever been in with other women. My gut knew something was wrong, but my head didn’t conceive of the possibility of him cheating, so out came the spackle. I couldn’t figure out why so many of his coworkers were so rude to me. I’m now pretty sure my that at least 4 women I met who were friends with him, but not me, were sleeping with him. Good times!

Good question, DM.

It reminds me that the summer before Dday, when I thought that something odd was going on, STBX told me that we were invited to a birthday bash at OW’s house. He brought, symbolically enough, sausages from the butcher’s to grill. OW was having a heck of a time with her second-hand, POS gas grill. These sausages were real bratwurst, and they needed to be cooked thoroughly.

STBX came up and asked me to give OW some help with the sausages, as she was having trouble. This was practically in front of her. She shot him a look filled with daggers, and was really uncomfortable with me there. I assumed it was because STBX had inferred she didn’t know what she was doing.

In retrospect, I realize that she was uncomfortable around me because she’d been fucking my husband, and she was pissed off at STBX because she fancied herself as a good cook, and she was jealous that STBX used to praise my culinary skills all the time (much of his Facebook page was devoted to what I’d cooked for dinner).

Interestingly enough, STBX now complains about everything I fix, but he’s eating his meals out of a can (Beefaroni? Spaghetios?–that’s grown-up food?) or out of a box (Kraft Macaroni and Cheese!) or Schmoopie fixes him something. 😛

This is all to familiar to me too. I just wasn’t looking for problems then. At a Christmas party I noticed X and ho worker (now wife-tress) having an animated intimate conversation, later that evening she tried to sit next to me but fell on me in her drunken stupor saying “ya know, you’re all right!” Then she disappeared, passed out in her truck. As we were driving home I told x I think she has a crush on you…he didnt respond… When I look back now, I can clearly see he was playing both of us and eating cake.

The soul-sucking narcissistic spawn of phlegm is her problem now and even though she clearly was interfering and not respecting our marriage, I cannot help but feel sorry for her because she believes he is wonderful and she believes he loves her. She has a teenage daughter that lives with them who trusts what he appears to be too. It is just terribly sad and unfair this monster can ruin so many lives and somehow always lands on his feet.

Sadly, DM, I’m raising my hand, too. I heard all about first OW and how she resembled a “soft ball player and not feminine like you, TBJ”. Deflection, anyone?

So I met her and her 7 year chump of a boyfriend (poor guy, they’re still together after the affair was vehemently denied) at a wedding with STBX. They awkwardly avoided each other for the first hour then finally gave up, there are only so many places to hide at a barn wedding, and things got weeeeird. STBX got hammered out of his mind and his party guy alter ego arrived and he avoided dancing with me at all costs by acting like a fool on the dance floor-he’s SUCH a fun guy!!!! Then she came to sit with me and share how she and her boyfriend fought at a wedding the weekend before. DON’T CARE!!!!!!

I knew the moment I saw her something wasn’t right. 6 months later…obsessive phone calls, texts and all kinds of extra time away from our house. Good luck to her boyfriend. I got rid of my narc, I hope he follows the same path.

I also knew something was seriously wrong with OW, the whole nervous thing, like I was going to bite her head off. Weirdly, though, the one time X invited her to our house, she acted like she owned the place and began lecturing our teenaged daughter about wearing running shorts in front of X (hypocritical Jesus cheater). Of course, I immediately shut that shit down and she turned into meek church mouse, her favorite role. She always gave off this very weird vibe, but I never tried to comfort her because, from the beginning, she creeped me out.

X kept trying to pretend nothing was going on and, while I did not trust OW, I did trust X. Surely he would never bring that crazy into our life! Well, of course he woud and he did. Long after X dumped crazy church lady, she continued to stalk me and my kids. So not only did X betray us, he endangered our safety. Fun times. Not.

Oh God – this same thing happened to me. Since this was my (x) BFF, I could never figure out why she wouldn’t look me in the eyes properly, like normal people and always seemed uncomfortable around me. I thought she was just painfully shy, and my mom was like that so I figured she was just insecure. I spent many nights with her at her home – just the 2 of us, as we showed dogs together – and even at the shows she couldn’t look me in the eye. I will forever NEVER trust somebody who won’t do that and gives off strong vibes about how uncomfortable they are. Red Flag warning for sure. Yep – she kept up the act for 3 full years. Whore.

OW felt uncomfortable around me as well. XH had her come over and babysit one of the few times I asked HIM to watch the kids, and OW couldn’t get out the door fast enough once I got home. When I mentioned it to XH, he said, “You’re imagining it.”

She got divorced/is getting divorced too! Sounds like it was cheating… but not on her end.

“The famous cook also tells Redbook how she balances out her famous persona when she’s at home. “I think it can be hard for any man to sometimes be upstaged by his wife,” she says. “So when I’m home, I work very hard to be Todd’s wife and Jade’s mother. I have no problem going back to those traditional roles. I try to be Giada, the young girl that he met 20 years ago and fell in love with. All men want to be treated like kings in a relationship, and I think if women don’t indulge that sometimes, their men are likely to stray and look for someone who can give that to them.

I love the Barefoot Contessa. I love her relationship with her husband. Those two appear to genuinely love each other.

I Imagine someone her employee handles all of these requests and it might be she would not have seen it until it made the news. I give her the benefit of the doubt simply because she and her husband adore each other. What a wonderful couple. If I ever find out differently I will be heartbroken.
BTW, Flay has a gazillion restaurants, a cooking show and does ads. When does he find the time to cheat? It just goes to show, scuzzy is as scuzzy does. Cheaters can always find the time.

I don’t want to be braggy, but cooking and baking is kind of my thing. When D-Day happened, I had no appetite but had to keep cooking for the children, and I was too shell-shocked to be unkind to ex. He continued as always to rave about my scratch made dinners, in particular a pot of pork chile verde that came out pretty great. He said,

“Darling, this is DELICIOUS.” And I walked over and hissed quietly, “I’m not your darling anymore. Enjoy that chile verde, you’re never getting it,or me again.”

He still finished it. Hope he’s enjoying his Bachelor Chow.

When my daughter started going over to her fathers for visitation she started to ask me to send her stuff to eat because Tweeny doesnt know how to cook… And her father is worse. On the occasions that i made cookies / muffins i would send her some in her back pack… Come to find out her father would take them and eat every single one.
Its amazing that once that viagra wears off their other primal urges kick in… So he hates my fucking guts… But loves my cookies. He has gained a terrible amount of weight… Moobs to boot. Must suck to get hot cheetos for dinner. I hope his triglycerides are on jammer level.

http://www.everseradio.com/top-five-female-politicians-caught-up-in-sex-scandals/

A couple women here seem to have survived sex scandals: Helen Chenoweth, and Nikki Haley.

Outside of politics, many female OWs are revered: Angelina Jolie comes to mind, as well as Alicia Keys, J-Lo. There was Ingrid Bergman–the cheater herself. Let’s see–Meg Ryan and Madonna are rumored to have been cheaters, as well. And Whoopi Goldberg. All seem to be doing quite well.

Lordy, the list of famous OW and female cheaters is endless!

Here’s some interesting commentary:
http://jezebel.com/5303121/where-are-the-female-philanderers

There are many theories about why more powerful women don’t get caught up in cheating scandals–one is that a lot of men don’t find powerful women to be a turn-on. Or, that women are much more discreet (less stupid about cheating?)

Still, to the point, if a female cheater or OW loses her job? I won’t cry for her any more than I did for John Edwards or Anthony Weiner.

You all just don’t understand — when Cheaters get married (multiple times) they expect their SPOUSE to act like a married person. Those social rules that govern marriage, why those are for OTHER people to follow. Not SPECIAL people like the serial cheaters. They must flit from AP to AP to AP to AP . . . to spread their special version of love, sleazy style, to all who want it. We also must not forget to wonder what the hell the AP is thinking about how SPECIAL they are when they know that Cheater is married, and yet they sneak around and even go to the marital home to cheat when the legal spouse is away. I mean, is that classy? Or what? Oh my gosh, there is just too much sparkle to go around this morning!

My other observation is that I cannot see anything remotely attractive about Flay or McDermott. I think when I know they are cheaters that my mental deflector goes on and all I see is a Giant Lounge Lizard slithering around looking Super Sleazy in all that he does.

OH KISMET! I was thinking of posting about this very thing in the forums! I had read an article wherein Stephanie March- http://www.stylebistro.com/Stephanie+March/lookbooks Um Hello Gorgeous- had spoken publicly about the affair, and Flay’s (UM Hello Toad) response was how gauche it was for March to speak publicly about private matters.

Two things-

Dear Booby- when you have your dick out at work with an employee, that’s not private anymore. It’s such a classic cheater Playbook move to call cheating at work a Private Matter to attempt the shameshift and blameshift your betrayed spouse. Emotionally abusing your spouse and exposing her to STDs is not your leprechaun birthright. You, sir, are an affront to honest Leprechauns and Hobbits everywhere.

Chumps Who ‘Let Yourself Go”- Take a hard look at the three people in this Bermuda Triangle. Do you see it now? When your spouse tells you he or she cheated because you have a combover, a muffin top, a pound cake, an entire wedding cake, you aren’t Halle Berry or you put too many cheeses in the lasagna, look here. You could have been Halle Berry, you could have been Stephanie March. You could have climbed Kilimanjaro eating only freeze dried beet leathers, whitened your teeth, or gotten a hair transplant, and it still won’t give a cheater a soul transplant! Cheaters gonna cheat. It’s what they do, and they like it. You are not responsible for the character defects of another person, and being prettier/better/richer is not the answer.

I still have a ways to go however the control he had no longer exists and the pain he caused with the sadistic discard is gone. I just spent three nights away and had no anxiety. I have a LIFE finally!! It gets better!!!!! I have plans with someone I met, tomorrow!! I will take things slow but I now put my trust in myself.

Yay, Donna! I slide back and forth, but the best part is knowing that I am responsible only for me and the children, and I no longer have to live by his stupid rules and wants.I love that you have your mojo back!

Today I worked all morning in my home office.On the weekend. Because I wanted to, and I like my job. In the past, I would have had 315 pounds of resentment lumbering past my office door with raised eyebrows every hour on the hour. It wouldn’t matter if his plan was 4 hours of video games, the point was I should be doing things that benefit and entertain him. And he was stupid enough to not realize my making 150% of what he did benefited him, He was definitely a minimum effort and no more type!

But now I can do whatever the hell I want or need to do without tapdancing like a mind controlled ingenue for a scrap of attention. I don’t need the attention. It feels good,

I have to admit, I thought at the time it was beautiful, and so thoughtful….

I’m a history freak, and wanted to share with you that Bobby’s last name – Flay – meant an ancient procedure of torture (and ultimately death). To Flay someone was to take off a victim’s skin – while they’re still alive.

Hats off to the person at the *Daily News* who thought to ask Dean McDouchebag for his advice about recovering from infidelity. A+ sense of snark there, my friend. Well played.

Although I LOVE the food at his restaurant at the Borgata in Atlantic City (Bobby Flay Steak…you could have a field day with that one, CL!), I, too, have always gotten a creeper/jerk vibe from him. I’m wondering if his first two marriages dissolved for similar issues? If so, Stephanie had at least some heads up of what she was taking on.

I don’t get the same vibe from Alton, he seems like a more legit family guy. As for Bourdain I don’t know…he was married before for a long time to his first wife and that marriage seemed to dissolve as he was finding fame so who knows…

I thought Flay was pretty pompous, but I ended up enjoying a cooking show series he had that was all about brunches from around the world-he would occasionally mention and then make a type of food that Stephanie enjoyed as part of the brunch (implying he frequently made brunch for her while she slept in). How despicable that he could carry on an affair with a woman who must be close in age to his daughter (oh, wait, that’s what depraved cheaters do….)

Also, I don’t know how I missed this, but Bill Murray cheated on his wife too? (and then the OW he married eventually divorced him). I also learned recently my co-worker is “dating” a man she kept describing as “unavailable.” Finally I pressed her for more details and it turns out he’s married.

There’s a synonym for the UBT: “unavailable” means “married.” And “dating” in Cheaterspeak means “f***ing someone who is ‘unavailable'” (married). And Lucky, how can she “date” if a guy is “unavailable”? Oh, wait. He’s not “unavailable” for cheating. He’s unavailable for marriage because he’s…married.

I almost said, ” yeah, he favors my son at that age.” I swallowed a big shit sandwich that day. I dont have any proof, but i will always believe that child is his even though he denies that as well.

I have empathy for Stephanie March as a fellow chump…I just can’t help but also see her in a similar light that I see my cheater XH’s past and current girlfriends who knew/know about his cheating but believe they are that special one, and that his ex-wife (chumpy moi) was just so “crazy” and bitchy that it drove him to cheat.

Oh my God YOU TOO! I didn’t care for him before that and couldn’t stand him afterwards. Even the xH (I remember watching that episode at MIL’s (is it xMIL if she died before I knew he was cheating?) with him) couldn’t stand him after that – you don’t disrespect an Iron Chef, particularly by putting your filthy feet on a cooking surface.

Although I did like that show when he went up against chefs to try to outdo their signature dishes. Because I think except for one show, he failed miserably EVERY TIME. I liked seeing him lose because he always seemed so smug.

Ooh, this one struck a nerve, and I had a field day explaining this to my daughter.

Some background: when I was four years old, I really, REALLY wanted some Dr. Seuss books. My parents got them for me – I think it was some mail order thing where you get four books at a time.

I remember that two of that first batch of books were The Cat In The Hat and Green Eggs and Ham. And I remember being VERY anxious after reading those two.

Why? Because both books were about kids (or whatever those things are in Green Eggs and Ham) saying no and being ignored.

I was a picky eater as a kid, so Green Eggs and Ham was the worse of the two. The guy doesn’t want Sam’s “food”! Leave him alone! But that thing just keeps pushing, until finally he eats that crap at the end (did he really like it? Or was he just broken down? Or faking it to get him off his back?)

What kind of sick book teaches kids that NO doesn’t mean NO?!?

So 20+ years later, and I have kids, and they get copies of those two books (as “gifts” – I wouldn’t buy them that!). I could never bring myself to read them to them (xH must have until they could read on their own).

So now, my daughter’s in high school, and near her school is a university that was having some sort of Dr. Seuss day festival. I launched into a rant – no means no, Dr. Seuss was a cheater.

She got weird looks when this was discussed in her classes (I forget which one brought up Dr. Seuss, at high school no less) and they told her she was reading too much into it.

Well, live through cheating, and you start reading a lot into lots of things.

I remember a show of Montel Williams or Dr. Phil or someone of that type. Anyway, the show featured serial predators (rapists, murderers, child abusers, etc). One guy described that a method he used to pick victims was how hard it was for him to change a No to a Yes. The example he used was offering to help someone carry groceries from their car . The lady first said No, but he kept pursuing it. Instead of getting mad and saying Piss off buddy, I said no the person gave in after five or six attempts and said yes. That was the victim he picked. Scary stuff.

Though he devoted most of his life to writing children’s books, Geisel had no children of his own. He would say, when asked about this, “You have ’em; I’ll entertain ’em.”

I laughed out loud this morning as well. A few weeks ago I saw Bobby Flay at a restaurant here in Los Angeles. I fantasized taking a photo with him and posting it because my STBchefX worked for him long ago and thought he was a talentless douche and I thought it would be fun to get the rise. Now I regret not asking for the photo – the irony is killing me. This was before this news hit and wouldn’tchaknow my douche’s OW was also the 28-yr old hostess at his restaurant! Chef = Narcissist. Now, he’s never admitted cheating, but I found the evidence and don’t need him to admit it to know. Sadly, those super chump things flood back … the day I worked there and she had a breakdown mouthing “I can’t do this anymore” and when I asked FW what was wrong he said “Don’t worry about it” (I actually thought about comforting her). A party thrown at the restaurant and her skimpy outfit and fuck me pumps and me in full gaslight mode thinking, “There’s no way, she’s a kid, he’s a grown man” but I felt like shit for some reason. Yes, I had my own DDay when I saw the phone records and her tweets but he still has not confessed. This way his narctitude is served – he can look like the good, honest guy and he keeps her in the pick me dance (I’d say poor girl but she’s an ass) because she can’t go public 1.5 years after he’s moved out. Sure he wines and dines her and makes her feel like she’s the one. But wasn’t she there when he was doing that to me? Doesn’t she see her future? You can have him and all his douchedom!! Every day I am one step closer to Meh! Thanks all!!

Thank you for the tremendously beneficial belly laughs today, CL. It is cathartic to laugh over the utter ridiculousness of it all.

I have despised Flay for years and refer to him as an evil ginger. My mom watches his brunch show every morning.
Now there is even more reason to hate that Evil Ginger.
What is wrong with society that SO many people find this type of behavior acceptable.
As far as Ina, I love her and watched her for many years. I fashioned my relationship with the x wasband like her and Jeff. Boy was I wrong. This past week, I have had a really hard time even watching Ina, because I feel that I live in such chaos since the discard and it is so remote that I will ever have my own home again thanks to a douche, oh and I loved to cook, but now, I see no reason… too many calories and my efforts are just not appreciated.
Wow, I am an angry bitter bunny this week!
Poor Stephanie, I really hope she makes out well in the divorce and that the evil ginger has to pay and pay…
gaaaahhh!

I hate cooking shows so there is no loss in it for me…my singular awks meeting with OW was at deadHusbands military retirement ceremony/party. She brought a fake date to throw off suspicion, but she walked up to me, looked me straight in the eye and said how nice it was to meet me. I would love to see her again so I could punch her in the face.

And I love that she walks around on planet earth KNOWING that I KNOW what a piece of shit she is…she may put on a show for others, but I know the truth

wishing I could think if an insult as good as “Spawn of Phlegm” to put here

How about a little more name play? Bobby Flaytio, or, especially for Lovedajackass, Bobby Bray.

I think I mentioned this once before, but my sister is friends with the (an??) ex-wife of Marc “How to Cook Everything” Bittman.

It turns out, he’s more like, “How to Screw Everything” (and cheat your wife out of support when you’re a millionaire celebrity chef…)

What is it with fame & cheating? Which is cart; which, horse? Which is chicken; which–egg?

“Yeah, what kind of meal says “I’m sorry I fucked my assistant for three years”? ”

Maybe it takes a veterinarian to see it, but I think his dick on a plate would pair well with a nice Tempranillo.

I loved Stephanie March on Law & Order – SVU and could not believe she was the cheated upon spouse of Funny Face Flay. I love Anthony Bourdain (I would be very disappointed if I discovered he was a cheater) and I like watching Martha (Stewart) because she went to jail – and thrived. She’s gangster. The rest of the “cooking show people” I can take or leave. I never liked Bobby Flay – I thought he was a jerk. Some members of Cheater McTurdstain’s family like Bobby, however. Go figure. Stephanie needs to talk to Ivana “Don’t Get Mad, Get Everything” Trump. She, too, had a pre-nup but ended up getting more than was in the pre-nup through a legal challenge. I’m not a Trump fan at all, but “the Dick-Head” (also known as “the Donald”) publicly humiliated her (remember the affair discovery when he had Marla at the same hotel on the floor above where he and Ivana and the children were staying on vacation? What a pig – and I offer an apology to actual pigs everywhere for the comparison) and she classily fought him and won quite the settlement. Shades of our dear Roberta. Marla thought she was special – until The Dickhead showed her that she wasn’t.

Someone once penned a quote in the comments that said “the mills of the Gods grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly fine.” It will be interesting to see how things work out for Ms. Elyse. He’s been seeing her for three years and she would still be, what CL so affectionately refers to as, “a side dish fuck” if Stephanie had not found about them and filed for divorce. How does that make you special, unless you mean special like someone people should avoid.

I hate these cheaters and their cheatees.They make my ass hurt.

I have no idea who these people are, but the whole AP meet the wife- jokes on her! stuff is demented.

Sounds like most have been there, done that. For me it was with his co worker fuck buddy. She would never make eye contact, ignore me or simply talk THROUGH me. I was even asked by asshole to contact many times when we were in Europe to help facilitate her fucking vacation. Gads. The joke WAS me and I never even knew. These people suck.

statements like “he needs to make her some ‘get out of jail meals” are a big part of the reason that I get so fucking angry at cheaters that I want to tie them to a stake and take a flame thrower to them…

THIS IS NOT A JOKE YOU CHEATING FUCKS PEOPLE COMMIT SUICIDE BECAUSE OF THIS SHIT

Phew, thanks, I feel better…

thanks ANC, I fear I come across as a bit of a freak sometimes – I really do have a great sense of humour (and perhaps a healthy ego haha) – and I can laugh about the insanity of it all sometimes… But something about cheater joking about cheating… I just find it so tone-deaf and offensive.

Oh and no one needs to worry about me – I don’t even OWN a flame thrower, and it turns out you can’t rent them. (ummmm, I was asking for a friend…)

Jobin, you are not a freak. I was that “friend” wanting the flame thrower for a very long time.

Its because they really do NOT give a fuck – and this shows, in spades, that behaviour.
I wouldn’t say you were a freak – I’d say you’re getting righteously pissed off because of their shit behaviour.

I read something that made me really think about what my x did to me for probably 20 out of 22 years. ” Don’t expect her to play her part, if you have other women auditioning for her role.” Sums up the whole spackle, skein of fuckupedness, lying, manipulating, blameshifting and gaslighting that took place in my life. And dammit I didn’t even consciously know I was going out for the part.
