“I have a feeling being confronted with how gross and tawdry she looks doing this might be the only thing that gets through.”
R. Eric Thomas:
Hi Bryan! So this week’s letter was a bit of a challenge for me because mostly what I wanted to do was yell at everyone involved who was not the LW. It seems LW is in a tough spot. Did you agree with my advice?Uh, lol yeah—this situation is just Beyond, and I really feel for the LW.
How did you come up with that genius flyer idea? I do think something like that might put the fear of god in her…Well, passive-aggressive graphic design is my passion. In college I would make elaborate signs shaming my roommates for not doing the dishes. I was not popular but I was right. When it came to this letter, I puzzled with how to get results without further dragging LW into the mess. A Reynolds Pamphlet-esque strategy seemed a semi-graceful solution.
The gall of it all makes me worry about how this is going to impact this couple’s relationship—like, I would have a hard time looking at my partner the same if he was being so nonchalant about this.Oh yeah. While no one should have to answer for how their parents behave, the lack of urgency that the husband has is a real challenge. If I were LW, I’d start wondering what else he shrugs off and how we can be aligned. It’s definitely worth a conversation of its own.
