How’s Dave Grohl’s Forgiveness Campaign Going?

I wonder how Dave Grohl’s forgiveness campaign is going? It’s been nearly a month since he dropped the bombshell via Instagram that he’d fathered a child outside his marriage. Remember how he was going to “do everything” to regain his wife and daughters’ trust and “earn their forgiveness.” Beginning with staying in his new daughter’s life and supporting her too. Because… shit sandwiches for you, cake for Dave.
So, how’s that repentance thing going?
I’m guessing about as well as O.J. Simpons’s quest to find the real killer. On the unicorn column of This Cheating Will Make Our Marriage Stronger! Grohl canceled his music tours and went Halloween shopping with his daughter. Shown above with a skeleton he will shove in a closet and later introduce via Instagram, he seems to be making a day of it.
On the Dave Grohl Forgiveness Flop side of things, he’s not wearing a wedding ring. And neither is Jordyn Blum, who reportedly doesn’t trust him. What? You don’t trust the guy with a divorce lawyer, Jordan? Just because he pays someone a legal retainer doesn’t mean he doesn’t love you.
I hope you’ve lawyered up Jordan, to return the sentiment.
Not feeling the sorry.
You know what also doesn’t feel sorry to me? This doofus Corey Taylor, of Slipknot out there promoting the get over it narrative.
Would you take life advice from this mook?
Corey Taylor is asking music fans to extend some grace to Dave Grohl amid news that he welcomed a child outside his marriage.
Days after Grohl, 55, made the announcement in a candid statement on Instagram, Taylor, 50, addressed the controversy on the Sept. 25 edition of the Your Mom’s House podcast, hosted by Tom Segura and his wife, Christina Pazsitzky.
“It’s so messy, 100% messy. I know Dave Grohl. He is one of the nicest people on the planet,” said the Slipknot frontman.
Hey, grace, people! Who among us hasn’t fathered an extra child or two?
Taylor said that “mistakes were made” and believes that the Foo Fighters rocker shared the news publicly on Sept. 10, “because he wanted to get ahead of it.”
Nothing says accountability like passive voice sentence construction.
“You know, I will say this: Obviously, it’s very irresponsible. I know there are a lot of disappointed fans out there because of the image that he has developed,” continued Taylor. “But I have to remind people that we’re not perfect. He was one of the last people to really have that image.”
Yes, the real jerk is you, adoring public. You expected perfection. We’re not perfect! Must I remind you?! Dicks will wander.
Noting that his opinion may be “very controversial,” Taylor added, “This happening does not mean he’s not a nice person because I happen to know him as a person. It means he’s got f—ing issues and he f—ed up. He’s not perfect. It is going to be very difficult for his family.”
Taylor said he “won’t make any assumptions” about Grohl’s secret baby revelation and hopes the news won’t be the “one thing that defines him.”
Fortunately, I had “I am not defined by my relationships” on my Stupid Shit Cheaters Say bingo card. Along with “no one is perfect” and “mistakes were made.”
It’s not fair to define Dave Grohl by his extra daughter. I prefer to define him by his faux Family Is Meaningful bullshit. Dave’s been trading on that narrative of reformed bad boy who is a committed family man.
The New York Post reports on what a shitty boyfriend Dave Grohl was. How he ghosted Jordyn Blum when they were dating, but then had an epiphany when his bandmate died of an overdose, and called her up:
“I thought, ‘I’m not waiting one more minute because life’s too f—ing short, man. It’s too delicate,’” he explained. “The day we got home I called her up and she said, ‘Wow, I never thought I’d hear from you again.’ So I took her to a restaurant right next door to here. And that was that.”
The “I’ve seen the light” schtick is growing old. Life is too fucking short, it’s too delicate to spend with a fuckwit, Jordyn. Call a lawyer and tell me what Dave Grohl’s forgiveness quest looks like then.
“He is a nice guy” unless you are his wife or a family member. (((headdesk)))
They said that about Bernie Madoff too. Such a nice guy!
‘Nice’ guys are almost always anything but.
That’s a good signal to drop that trash into the nearest bin.
While still married I once got a phone call from XFW’s co-worker who proceeded to tell me how nice and warm and helpful FW was to everyone. My first gut reaction was that she had me mixed up with some other guy’s wife.
I hate the phrase. Soo many people have said that to me, as in, “But X always seemed like such a nice guy.”
As if the surface stuff is what counts. Nope.
I think a better measure of basic intelligence than the Wechsler Scale or Mensa Standard IQ test is if someone can tell the difference between “personality” and character.
This ☝️.
It’s funny isn’t it, the word (and concept) of what constitutes ‘good character’ isn’t part of mainstream discourse, nor an aspiration in popular culture.
I think that’s because it’s amorphous, subtle, hard to ‘parade’ around or tik tok tize
It doesn’t take pretty selfies.
Thinkers in ethics, morals or religion, from previous centuries spent far more care on the question of “good character”.
“Personality” on the other hand is easy to fake and is a sort of modern day lazy anthropological short hand – “oh hey he’s a great guy, he brought everyone a latte/spare brontosaurus bone”
I’d even go so far as to say that some actively dislike the types of personalities that go in tandem with good character. I remember some grandiose narcissist I worked with as an intern who got drunk at some work event and made a standup routine of mocking other coworkers. He managed to target the only decent people in that company (I felt bad to be left off the list frankly but that’s because he later hit on me). He disparaged them all as spooky, geeky and boring. Of course what he didn’t factor is that normal people tend to freeze up or become watchful and reserved around flaming narcissists.
I noticed this too.
He’s nice to me-eeeeee (me, me, me, me), ergo he is nice.
Abusive people are selective in who they abuse. Intimate partners often bearing the brunt.
They’re not stupid. You on the other hand Taylor, really are….

F***, you’re good. Dorothy Parker walks among us 🙂
And, regarding the second part of the story, fans of minor UK act ‘Half Man Half Biscuit’ might find themselves humming ‘who the f****** hell are Slipknot?’. Here you go. It’s really, brilliantly, bad. And by bad, I mean…bad.

Half Man Half Biscuit may not be famous but they’re not minor. If they were good enough for John Peel …..
I hate how he used his little girl in this shopping excursion, I think she’s 10, to try to rehab his image as a family man – this kid should be kept OUT of the limelight during this whole process. That he would use his little girl like that shows again what a SHIT HEEL Dave Grohl really is.
Well, no.
Family are handy props to wheel out to show people he’s really a nice guy- a great dad, even!
Come on- how can he be a creep?
He has this beautiful child!!
He’s a dad!!!!
He’s a freaking rockstar!!!!!!
I’m a Catholic and I love that! I haven’t heard it before but I have heard of Half Man Half Biscuit because I was a punk back in the late 70s/early 80s and I used to listen to the late John Peel’s radio show. He played all the punk, indie and obscure bands like this, that the mainstream radio stations didn’t play! Another crowd with a silly name I remember form John Peel was “Red Lorry Yellow Lorry”! Try saying that with a few pints down yer neck! Or even sober!
As for Dave Grohl, he’s just another bog-standard lying, devious cheat who’s been caught and is trying to save face! I hope his Missus RINSES him for every penny, but God help his poor children- all of them!
I love listening to some of the recordings of John Peel, they brought a unique sound to songs.
“In relation to me getting out of bed?” HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

(I put a link in to the tune the first time I tried to post this, but it hung up, so you’ll have to find 1/2 M 1/2 B’s brilliance on Youtube yourself).
It was all just image is what this episode reveals… of course, it defines him… it revealed who he really is… not “nice” in truth but a lying Cheater!
So true and that he’s cheated on just about every woman he’s been involved with. I don’t know what his wife has put up with for the last 20 years or so but he has a bad track record before that. And any guy who hires a lawyer BEFORE he disclosed his out of wedlock child, does NOT have his wife and kids’ interests at heart.
Right? And he likely told his wife that he hired a lawyer to protect their family from Trollop, and he told Trollop he hired a lawyer to protect Trollop from his wife.
I would not be a bit surprised. He can’t keep that going for long though as he’s such a public figure. But I don’t doubt he has a story for everyone!
I don’t really know anything about Dave Grohl other than this latest catastrophe of his and all the news about him that’s emerged from it. Apparently he has cheated on just about every woman he’s ever dated or married. Over and over. This is not a one off (although having the baby probably is but….when you keep screwing around it’s bound to happen at some point). This is NOT a nice man or a good family man, he’s a shit heel. Just like this shit heel Corey that’s sticking up for him. Man…buy a comb and some soap.
Why don’t these idiots get fixed.
I don’t think anything sharp comes near their man parts, LOLOLOL!!!! He really should have got a vasectomy long ago if he still wants to look for strange. But for some guys it’s a sign of virility and I frequently think when a child is born, whether to a male or female FW….that on some level they wanted to give their lover a child (or prove they still could) or have their lover’s child. I think biological urges to breed are far stronger unconsciously than most people realize.
I knew there was something weird about Grohl- he just seemed a little too good to be true in my mind- something didn’t sit right.
Taylor is just another teenager who never grew up- it’s all goooood maaaaan….until it happens to him, the loser.
I know it’s obvious but….I’ll be Captain Obvious for a moment. It’s bad enough to have ANY kind of affair. But having a child with an AP has GOT to be the end for most people because you are ALWAYS going to be involved with that AP even if you just send money and don’t actually involve yourself with the child. Kids create permanent involvement with someone outside your marriage. I don’t think most people can overcome that, nor should they. None of us wish ill on what we used to call a “love child” or any child, but it does create that permanent connection with an AP. A constant reminder of what you did.
I am.one of CL’s many male chump lurkers and occasional posters, for whom your assessment of the devastating effect of having to live with the reality of a baby conceived during an affair is an endless nightmare, not just in the present moment and the foreseeable future but in any reckoning of the past.
My RN wife’s very carefully hidden affair which resulted in the birth of her surgeon AP’s child was conducted in great secrecy in its various iterations over what I now know was several decades. Regardless of the fact that I knew nothing of her infidelity it created a changed dynamic in our relationship and in how she viewed and treated me, how could it not have?
She truly believed that he loved her in the same way she had fallen hard for him.and she pined to be with him and wished intensely that he would connect with the young child, my son, for whom he had zero interest. I guess I can be very grateful at least for that.
However, it inevitably diminished our relationship and resulted in some decisions that seemed strange at the time but now in hindsight are very clearly affair related.When we moved to a larger home in a different area of the immense metropolis of LA, it was I now see was to a house very conveniently located just one street over from where AP lived.
Without being aware of it at the time, it is obvious that I was plan B while my wife sought kibbles from the AP for whom she had this intense desire .and enduring connection through the youngster that he steadfastly ignored. I think that in her mind she lived in an alternative reality of a parallel marriage that didn’t really exist but involved her, the AP and bany.makes three.
The price she paid wss sordid furtive sex in the hospital on call room office and later in his private practice on the examination room table.
The price I paid wss a loss of any understanding of the reality of my.marriage until my wife’s confession two years ago.
I am sure I am still.in shock and unsure how to.proceed given our advanced age.
My wife has shown me the journals from when she sought professional help from a psychiatrist to understand why she did what she did and he told her not to tell.me especially since a child wss involved. when I was very ill with colon cancer she lovingly nursed me back to health and when I had a heart attack she nursed me through recovery from that surgery. So I told my wife I will stay on condition that she tell the rest of the family all of what she had done outside of our marriage, starting with our son, the child from her affair. She complied, and that has wrought havoc in its own way of course. My wife is not a unicorn nevertheless, I have offered her Grace and I try to forgive.
Hi WaitedFarTooLong:
For me, it would have been impossible to forgive her for what she did to my son. She was willing to continue a sexual relationship with a man who treated his bio son like shit. And apparently would have happily dumped said son’s real father, you, should the good doctor have given any indication that he would leave his wife for her. That would have completely uprooted your son’s life.
Finding out in adulthood that your beloved father has no biological relationship to you, nor your paternal grandparents, cousins, uncles, aunts, etc…has got to be extremely destabilizing and painful…and also for the relatives impacted. Perhaps they are like you, loving and ethical, and got over the fact that your son has no bio relationship to them, but even in that best case scenario there is a lot of pain and soul-searching…
I agree with the other posters about giving leaving a good hard look. You don’t say anything about her deep, heartfelt remorse and steps she has taken to make amends to you and your son and change herself so she is fit for purpose as a wife and mother. I’m glad she was a good nurse to you during your illnesses…but I’d ask if you feel truly loved by her? Because you deserve that. You deserve a woman who looks at you with love and loves your character and soul. And is honest. And has your back. That is not guaranteed to any of us, but in staying with your wife, isn’t it a guarantee of not having it? You picked the name Waitedfartoolong, which may be speaking to a longing you have to have done things differently. But you can still decide to do things differently and forge a life free of the craziness a cheater always bestows.
I’m in the process of freeing my life from a liar, so I am speaking to myself as much as you. I should have left earlier, says me now and pretty much everyone at Chump Nation. I wish us both luck…and I wish us both happiness…in your case, with whatever final decision you make about your marriage.
My poor dear man, I just want to give you a hug. I am so touched by your story and what a strong, brave, wonderful man you really are. Your wife is a fool, she’s a fool. She’s been a fool for years. She doesn’t have psychological problems, she’s a damn fool. She had a wonderful guy and a great marriage right there in front of her and she threw it away emotionally and sexually for a guy who does not care about her or the child she created. And yet you are there. I hope you don’t mind if I seem to go a bit off track here but I like to use movies for analogies because people can pick up the meaning faster, I think anyway. Have you ever seen Gone with the Wind? Long movie, but a great one – my point here is that Scarlett pines after Ashley, stupid ASSLEY as I think of him, for many years, even all through the Civil War, all through his marriage and having a baby, all through HER marriage and a child….instead of being thankful for the incredible Rhett Butler who saved her life and other people’s several times and showed her nothing but kindness and love and patience….she kept minimizing and devaluing him – and he was hunk – for stupid ASSLEY. Holey moley!!!! And why? The woman who wrote this novel, wrote it at least in part about herself and there are women like this – they will pine for one asshole for years, even decades, when he would not cross the street for them…unless there was a mattress there….and they ignore the wonderful man they do have, and they are all FOOLS who deserve neither, frankly. They don’t deserve the blessings of life they’ve received that have eluded so many others and yet….they don’t prize what they have. Maybe because it seemed to easy for them and they need to go for something hard and remote and something that’s an illusion. Who can say? But if you can take the time and it won’t hurt you too much, you might watch Gone with the Wind to see how far someone can carry romantic delusions.
As for you, my dear, well, you’re not gonna like what I’m gonna say, but…what the hell. I’m of advanced age too and I’ve had cancer as well, so I know some of what you’ve experienced and I have some of these concerns about age and just letting this be. But maybe you SHOULDN’T let this be and maybe you should NOT continue to be Plan B. Because it appears that’s what you’ve been all through your marriage and you didn’t know. I’m not saying she doesn’t care for you, she may have feelings for you, but they are not the proper feelings one should have towards a romantic partner and husband. I don’t think you should extend either forgiveness or grace here. Lying to you about your son is one of the most horrible things I truly think one person can do to another. I mean that.
I would suggest that you at least consider leaving and seeing what it might be like to be on your own for a while. It might actually be good for both of you because….she’s taken you for granted so much, and she might take your forgiveness and grace for granted too. Even at an advanced age, and many of the people here are in their 60s, 70s, – you don’t have to put up with a relationship that is not acceptable to you or where you have not been treated with love, respect and fairness. DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY – don’t do what you think is the “right” thing. Put yourself first now and try to be happy in whatever years God gives you. You don’t need to do anything else for this woman, she doesn’t deserve it frankly. I’m sure on some level she knows that too.
Good luck, and please write in occasionally and let us know how you’re doing or if you need some camaraderie or a boost. It’s a great community!
I second everything Mehitable says here!
My heart goes out to you. I’m just so sorry this has all happened to you, and I understand that there’s no obvious right path through these complexities. And I’ll add, you sound like a wise, kind, and sensitive person.
He really does, he sounds like a great guy. What a fool this woman is.
The comments to the People article– which seem to be a measure of Grohl’s and Taylor’s waning relevance because there are relatively few– are about half and half sulky “don’t be judgy!” and “cheating is no biggie!” snipes (and most of those likely written by interns working for Grohl’s publicists) and things like this:
There’s a lot of Ponderosa between “we’re not perfect” and what Dave did to his family. Apologizing for him makes you look like a douchebag.
She wouldn’t look at him twice if he wasn’t rich but old guy wants to believe it’s his body she’s after, not his money.
Yeah- you say he’s nice to you!!? Look at his character! Totally destroyed his entire family and the bond they had with his careless actions! Ugh! His poor wife. She is now changed forever and will walk around with this scar forever.
I don’t think many folks even therapists recognize that for most folks these scars are permanent.
They totally are, especially for the kids because these are the things that form their view of life, relationships, marriage, stability, permanence, commitment, etc. How do you teach your kids the discipline and responsibility to get through life successfully when you don’t have it yourself?
“lot of Ponderosa” HAhahaaa!
And for the umpteenth time, “perfect” is not the standard. Decent is the standard.
Yes, I thought that comment (by a guy btw) had a zingy level of clever. And yeah, “perfect” always strikes me as a blatant red herring in most arguments. I think it especially blindsides people who don’t even have the word in their lexicons so they get stumped just trying to wrap their heads around the construct. It’s as if the other person in the disagreement had just thrown the curve of demanding a solution to a mystery in physics. Er, whuh? Dark matter?
“Decent is the standard.”
Wish I had a cheerleader emoji
I love that Post article! The writer is nails it. He was even a piece of shit when “wooing” her. Reminds me of how I know so clearly see the beginning of my relationship with my ex, thanks to Chumplady and all this community. Treated me like shit, then did the sad sausage and came back when he decided I would do. (Left when he could do “better”. ) He ghosted her until he was feeling all needy from his friend dying, he wanted someone to comfort him and maybe take care of him so he didn’t die. He needed a NANNY, a MOM, and so he called her. Gross.
Standard for these losers- they don’t want a partner in life- they want a mummy bang maid and a couple of kids for the look at my cute accessories factor.
Horrible people.
Dave’s looking good these days…,
Got that old man look down to a tee.
Yup….I’m amazed at some of these really old guys – like Pacino and DeNiro – becoming fathers at really really old ages, like your kid is NEVER going to know you when you’re not looking like the Mummy and using a walker. Never going to have you grow older with them, see them graduate, go through life, get married, have kids.. Maybe they’re all senile and got baby trapped but there comes a time when you really have to say….could I have that in a bag, please.
Yeah… but Virility, look how manly I am blah blah blah…😐😆
HAhaaHA! I assume you’re referring to the skeleton.
I’d prefer the skeleton- much better standards and far superior morals- and least you can see what you’re getting with him.
Am chuckling!
Cheating is truly a point of no return. It’s exactly like abuse. That’s also no return. And creating a second family on top of that? What a spectacularly big ego he has to just assume that his efforts to do whatever shitty repair he thinks he needs to do will grant him forgiveness yet again. I will never listen to his music again. He is a fucking douche bag, just like all of the other cheating, lying deceiving douche bags.
Classic splitting, “nice guy, family man” vs. unfaithful, cheating husband. The good and bad. I am going to let you in on a little secret Dave and Corey. There is a profession called counseling and it is there to assist you in getting over your issues, to acknowledge and work through things you do not like about yourself to become congruent, and to take ownership of your life and how you want to live it. Past experiences are not an excuse to hurt and harm others.
Also, who want to be known as nice? Good and kind are stronger adjectives; nice is boring, passive, and superficial.
Truly good and kind is way better.
The problem is they want to be known for being good and kind, but they also want the lust and excitement. “What to do, what to do 🤔 ” “Oh, I will just lead a secret life.”
Wait then nice/superficial is what they are after. It just hit me that is what you meant. Slow today.
Amen. Somewhere I have an article on nice vs. kind.
I have a question: where is that bingo card I keep hearing about? I really want to see one!
That bingo card comment is hysterical!! Sums up so much.
Scoop out a bucket of water from a mountain stream. Delicious!
Now drop a turd in it.
“But the water is fantastic!”
So I took her to a restaurant right next door to here.
Yeah, god forbid you would actually bother to walk or drive somewhere. He couldn’t be arsed to put forth any effort at all. 🤮 I bet she had to meet him there.
I think Dave is kind of motivated by his new hit song: “There goes my wallet….watch it fly away….”
Monkey Wrench is about his cheating and divorce from his first wife, guess he was a monkey wrench again.
That title now looks a lot like ‘dupers delight’ to me. He knew he was monkey branching but spun it with a clever cam for those who don’t know what this is or about cheating…
My Dx? Sociopathic doesn’t seem a stretch lol 🙊🙉🙈
Unlike the pictures Tracy showed, most of the media coverage includes still pictures and video of the young daughter. If Grohl wanted to give her a bit of normalcy after upending her world, he could have switched out his look (and hat), worn sunglasses, and gone incognito. He didn’t, and sooner or later his daughter will realize he used her for a photo op. One that will cause talk yet again when his children’s and wife’s schoolmates and social circles see the new media coverage. And he must have known that going sans wedding ring would generate more coverage and questions about his marriage, which makes me wonder if he weaponized his daddy-daughter outing in his marriage and possible divorce negotiations.
I think it’s just terrible that he’s doing obviously staged photo-ops with his young daughter. This guy is a fucking pig.
Oh but “Such a GOOD father” 🤢
Help me understand: what do the courts believe a young girl like Grohl’s daughter should believe and accept in this situation: that it is OK that her dad had another baby with another woman and didn’t tell her? That she needs to pretend it doesn’t matter, and she doesn’t mind? . Or that she really shouldn’t care and it shouldn’t matter to her, because it has nothing to do with her relationship with her dad? Or that it really isn’t a big deal, and it’s ok for men to do that? Really, what exactly are we asking these girls to do? Gaslighting children, who look to adults to tell them what’s what, is the worst.
The System, including the courts, do what they always do to people – from 8 to 80…..THEY LIE TO THEM AND THEY ENCOURAGE EVERYONE ELSE TO LIE. Our whole System is based on an intricate network of lies that those who are or would be in power, fight to maintain. They need to keep us under control and keep the lid on and we all have to play nice, otherwise we might get up and kick somebody’s ass and…well….that would so tragic.
Especially with people like Grohl and religious leaders, who profess to be faithful and/or pious, it seems to be the hypocrisy that bothers people, perhaps more than the cheating.
Like chumps, a cheater’s family, friends, acquaintances and the wider public may find it hard to believe that a person who seemed upstanding or even OK commits infidelity, martial theft, and more. There’s cognitive dissonance when the person characterized as a good guy –perhaps for no more than saying “hello” in the hallway or being nice to his dog–is suddenly revealed as not so nice. Maybe that’s why people make excuses, including seeing it as a single mistaken action, when even a single sexual encounter is the result of a multitude of choices.
There was so much coverage critical of Grohl, which was heartening, but there are still lots of cheater apologists like Taylor.
I saw this comment by Beth over at the People article, who defended Grohl in multiple comments and lashed out as his critics: “People heal from the loss of a loved one via death every day, yet u cant heal from cheating aka a meaningless phsyical act?!” She followed up with this gem: “Cheating doesn’t totally destroy a family. Thats a ridiculous notion that a 1 time physical act, NOT emotional destroyed everything prior to it. If u throw things away based on one mistake, u shouldn’t be in any relationships cuz those are people that cant deal with life, forgiveness, or compromise.”
Sad to see viewpoints like that.
Ah, the one-time physical act defense rears it’s ugly head. The physical act of betrayal is painful, but in the end it is the thousand lies that accompany betrayal that delivers the death blow.
Well someone needs to clue Beth in…..there’s a kid here and that’s a lifetime attachment for EVERYONE that his wife and 3 existing kids did NOT sign up for and I’m sure don’t want. Maybe Beth is a groupie.
Quite the little philosopher, this Beth. Unfortunately, this is exactly the sort of DARVO blithering idiot you encounter if you go to marriage counseling after being cheated on.
“Especially with people like Grohl and religious leaders, who profess to be faithful and/or pious, it seems to be the hypocrisy that bothers people, perhaps more than the cheating.”
True. I mean if you know someone is a liar/fraud you can be cautious in your dealings, whether friend, or spouse. No one likes being duped.
Fuck Corey Taylor and idiots like him who don’t like being smacked by the reality stick and shafted dry by the long dick of consequence.
He, Old Mate Grohl and countless others are spineless cowards who happen to play music – not our finest examples of humanity who must be forgiven just because it’s THEM.
The only thing they’re sorry about is getting busted- me, me, my feelings, what about meeeeee…….🙄
One former couple friend in church, told me how my now XH cheaters girlfriend was really nice. I told them I was really nice too. They seemed to enjoy how outgoing and nice my X was too while I am reserved and certainly not fun going through the end of my life as i knew it. That is so hurtful as these liars put on a show for the world when you know the inside abuse. But IMO, if Jordyn is not making any moves towards lawyering up and taking care of her side of the equation, then she is a volunteer for this sandwich as well as more to come in the sister wife raising sister kids commune to one wonderful guy.
😆 This clown literally said “mistakes were made.” The bingo card is getting awfully full.
This Taylor guy looks like he’s a few minutes away from pulling his hair up into a manbun again once the photo session ends.
Dave Grohl’s photo reveals he should be wearing a bra when he’s got on a thin tee shirt.
Such sterling examples of American manhood are they that they even mindfuck on the behalf of other fuckwits. The Brotherhood clearly means a lot to them, but the women in their lives, not so much.
I hope she divorces him and makes it as hard on him as possible.
He may very well be nice, as in superficially pleasant. That’s not a sign of good character. It’s about image.
What he isn’t, however, is genuinely kind or principled in his dealings with others. That’s what matters in a person, not how pleasant they seem on the surface.
Being a good, decent person means you have to be unpleasant at times, such as when dealing with assholes like Dave Grohl. You have to shoot down their entitlement, resist their mindfuckery, and tell them the unpleasant truth. This will be seen as not “nice” by many people.
I do not trust people who are widely seen as “nice.” It really means they don’t stand up against unprincipled behavior when they see it.
He may very well be nice, as in superficially pleasant. That’s not a sign of good character. It’s about image….
…I do not trust people who are widely seen as “nice.” It really means they don’t stand up against unprincipled behavior when they see it.
Exactly! I’m so glad you wrote it so clearly!
I got the “I know I cheated but I need some time so I’m going to visit my dad” lie when at the time I could still check his phone and then when I saw that he had called a divorce lawyer, I called their office and asked if I could make an appointment, gave them my name, and the receptionist said, “Oh…I don’t think we can see you, it would be a conflict” Well I knew right then that the cheater had lied again and retained him. SO…I got the best lawyer I could find who knew how to deal with sociopathic narcissists, filed, and served him when he got back from being with his “dad” who didn’t know he was supposed to lie about his 60 yr old son’s whereabouts. GET A LAWYER. Go no contact. Best advice ever. 30 wasted years.

How did you find this lawyer? I filed just before COVID, and as a result went through multiple lawyers. This is what I tried to find, and none of them were. How did you do this?
I had a friend who was a lawyer and she recommended the one she used for HER divorce from a narcissist, someone who understood their disordered brain, I would normally have preferred a female, but this guy was amazing. He helped me stay strong and not be bullied. He retired right after finishing my case. Now that I know what I know. I would ask the lawyers if they can deal with high conflict divorces and if they know the work of Bill Eddy. Otherwise you’ll get someone who will believe the narc’s lies and that is not good. Good luck!
Asking if they know Bill Eddy is a great tip. I did ask them if they were familiar/experienced with high conflict cases and narcissists, and all said yes. They all said they were familiar and experienced with another specific to me legal/financial issue, and again all said yes. Turns out they were not. Fortunately, my divorce is final, and he was so disordered that I was granted sole custody and decision-making, no contact with child. The price was no alimony and no child support.
Oh no! I’m glad you got the kids away from him that way, but you deserved the support. You shouldn’t have had to negotiate. I did an emergency support order the same time i filed, it was granted, and he really had no choice after that. I had great legal advice, I wish everyone did. Maybe cos my dad was a lawyer, I don’t know, but I was able to help my own case and I could talk the talk.
If I think about this, I think about those 3 kids he already has. What a giant bowl of shit soup for them. I’m sure going to high school when your dad is all over the news for fucking around is a super fun experience. Just dandy. “I’m gonna work my way back to my kids …after I publicly humiliate them in service of my public image. Spare me.
Please, we all know what “nice guy” means. It means you’re a passive aggressive conflict avoidant phony.
My ex had a PhD in it so I know all about it. “But I’m a nice guy” was his go to for all kinds of shitty boundaries. Well that and “I’m just not good at relationships”. Well yeah, phonies with poor boundaries don’t usually have successful relationships.
Ms Blum should be rid of this douchebag.
