@ 76: I doubt very much that most people think the photos are more upsetting than the proposed affair (see #49). The affair would be patently unethical behavior (how exactly is the man "trapped"? the only justification the LW presents is her resentment at being passed over 14 years ago). The photos are just the bat-shit frosting on top.
If the LW's real concern was ethical she would have said so in hopes of finding an alternative solution, but she states plainly that the photos are essential to her own fantasy.

@ 61 is right.
There's no mention of kids. If the man unfortunate enough to be this asshole's "friend" is so unhappy in his "safe" marriage, he can do what adults do in civilized countries and GET THE FUCK OUT. He doesn't get a cheater pass, and the Lunatic Writing doesn't get to request one for him.

@1: There's no need to tie yourself into such contorted knots trying to rationalize the LW's behavior. She's dangerously fucking crazy, clearly bent on revenge for something that happened *fourteen years* ago, and if she convinces her idiot "friend" to fuck her, she's going to destroy his marriage. That should be obvious to anyone with a working cray-dar.

@8: The LW is describing their own specific situation. They're not under any obligation to neutralize the genders involved, and neither is anyone else that writes in.
@29: Or she could just do what grown-up, responsible adults do and get over her shit. I'd wager that most people have fantasized about a friend during sex or masturbation, and only someone who can't handle their shit, or who wants their friend to know, would have a difficult time keeping IRL and ITOM (in their own mind) segregated. It's not that hard.

There's a Greasemonkey script that allows you to hide specific commenters on Slog. It's very useful for hiding comments from registered trolls and it's also useful for hiding comments from insistent trollbaiters. They're free to express themselves and I'm free to ignore the fuck out of them.
@43: Recognizing that someone is damaged goods means it would be wise to steer clear of them until and unless they go get their goods repaired. It doesn't mean a license to continue to engage with them without having to treat them respectfully. IOW, just because someone appears to be broken doesn't mean it's okay to break them more. Doesn't sound like your ex understood that.
@48: When you have to try that hard to rationalize inconsistent or dishonest behavior, it's not open-mindededness, it's delusional. This isn't some epic long-distance star-crossed romance, he's just not that into her - or, apparently, much of anyone, unless he's busy building closets in that wilderness, something she doesn't appear to have considered.

"Lisa Biron, a New Hampshire lawyer who worked with an anti-gay Christian-right organization, has been found guilty of child pornography after she videotaped her own daughter having sex with two men on several occasions."
And it gets even worse, if you can believe it.
