You started with one story line and then chose a rabbit hole and jumped deep into it without discovering the other aspects of it. I assume you know nothing about wizardliz and as a man, your inclination to defend him is understandable but why did you chose her as a yopic starter for instance? There are other celebrities you could choose over wizardliz, but why did you picked her? Did you picked her because of her influence on other women? The motive behind your post matters... just because wizardliz is popular and the unfortunate incident that took place with her... I'm seeing many people all of a sudden feeling entitled to talk about her incident just to gain clout? And you haven't even looked into all of the perspectives that being shared in her community. People aren't appalled by Landon because he cheated on somebody... but instead people are appalled by the fact that a woman who spent years in building herself and motivating other women to value themselves, got taken advantage of by a guy who was so insecure within himself that he saw wizardliz as some prize rather than a soulmate. People are appalled by the fact that Landon portrayed himself a "nice guy" wrote a book about his love for her and did so many such performative things to portray himself to be someone he's not. That's were the saying comes in, "a man could be dying and still be lying." I never heard about her before this controversy but when I heard about the news, he turned out to look like a devil in disguise of an angel. She was 4 months pregnant , and he went on making a fake snapchat acc behind her back and messaging a woman to sleep with him. And that woman exposed him to his wife. Your post of justifying cheating by claiming that we as creatures aren't inherently monogamous is the most disgusting hypocritical thing someone can do. We as public are used to hearing the news about celebrities and personas getting cheated on. Cheating isn't the first thing that appalled a lot of the people but the person whose name is landon pretended to be a lover, a ride or die all this time and then decided to betray her. Women are fearful of such nice guys who disguise themselves as the angel because they see successful women as nothing but a prize.

Why does exploring human nature suddenly turns to defending cheating? If you think that exploring human nature justifies infidelity then you have to prove that, I never said it. Then why did I write this post, Umm because I wanted to write, why did I chose her, it's simply because this incident gave me the idea, and as for Landon well you can say whatever about the guy it's not my concern

I never protected the man, where did I and yeah tbh there story is just like any other story, one in many. Infidelity and cheating are aspects of human nature. What I'm exploring here is truth from different aspects. It's not to invalidate someone's emotional experience but what I'm interested in is truth

And times have changed, people back then were primitive and weren't as moral or educated, so according to your stand point... cheating is primitive then. And the way wizardliz's story came as a warning for women to never chose a guy like landon because he's incompetent and failed as man. Being disgusted by someone cheating is the most sensible response the humans can have because only the retarded minds cheat. Only the deeply unsatisfied, incompetent and insecure people cheat.

You are the type of guy to say polygamy is natural... while what makes a person moee civilized is social education of morals and principles. And people who cheat have never reflected on their morals...

Yeah. I saw a lot of generalizations and flawed opinions along with general disillusionment with relationship and marriage so I thought I would rather share opinion and generate a more academic and intellectual discourse which is at least productive

so much of this cultural and religious which many do not wish to touch. I applaud you for confronting this.

Why does it become about cheating when I'm just literally describing the human nature and how infidelity works.
