How Not To Fck Up Your Marriage – James Sexton

Okay, on this platform, let’s include every person each user has ever slept with, or once fantasized about sleeping with. 2. Let’s give you, the user, the ability to communicate with each and every one of them, both publicly and privately. 3. There will be other people on the service, too, people you know (family, friends, close coworkers), sort-of strangers (not-so-close coworkers or people you met briefly at a party but might find interesting to learn more about), and total strangers, so that when you do communicate with people you once had or have long maintained a sexual interest in, you have plausible deniability.

(“Why did I ‘like’ the picture of her in a bikini? Fifty other people liked that picture! And I was mostly ‘liking’ the Hawaiian setting!”) As a bonus, businesses will advertise on this service, so when your spouse asks why you’re using it so much, you can say, “I’m reading reviews for pool cleaning services!” You can say you’re checking on your pension pot while actually checking out your prom date from twenty years ago and seeing how her boobs appear to be holding up.

4. You have the ability to post photos of yourself, showing this other person (or persons) what you’ve been up to … 5. … but not in a candid, unfiltered way that captures your bad side, your blemishes, spinach between your teeth, etc. No, you’ll get to curate which pictures you display, and of course you’ll post only those in which you look good, where you’re doing interesting things, and which show as much or little of your outside life (spouse, kids) as you wish to share.

Want to show you’re a family person? You can do that! Want to keep this intriguing person (or persons) from knowing for sure that you’re married? You can do that! You’re the curator. Obscuring the fact of a so-called, alleged spouse is easy-peasy. What’s just outside the frame? Your real life! Yeah, no one has to see that. 6.

You can flirt with this person (ex-girlfriend, ex-boyfriend, potentially- fun-to-sleep-with person) in so many ways—micro-interactions known as “commenting on her status,” “commenting on his photo,” or simply “liking” his witty posts or posting items on your own page that comport with his or her interests and/or political perspective, etc. Again, there’s plausible deniability up the wazoo because it’s not just a bald-faced one-on-one encounter (we’ll add that feature in a minute).

It’s as if you’re in a crowded bar, and you have absolute freedom to stare at this person, or whisper something to him, or compliment her— and it’s totally cool because there are other people in the bar. What could possibly go wrong? 7.

Photo by Rory Lewis JAMES J. SEXTON is a divorce lawyer. He lives in New York City. He wakes up every day at four a.m. OceanofPDF.com “Nobody knows the dark side of marriage like a divorce lawyer, and James Sexton is a good one. In this engaging, wry, and illuminating book, Sexton shares his legal war stories and dispenses some no-nonsense relationship advice for anybody thinking about getting married or hoping to stay that way.

It’s an entertaining dose of tough love from a man who knows what he’s talking about.” —Tom Perrotta, author of Little Children and Mrs. Fletcher “Divorce is common, obviously, but how many people make the logical projection that seeds of thousands of future divorces are being planted and nurtured right now? How many couples recognize themselves as the misery farmers? While there’s still time to stop themselves?

James J. Sexton has a useful vantage point, blunt advice, and enough grisly stories to make self- help entertaining—unless, I suppose, the marriage he’s describing is yours.” —Carolyn Hax, nationally syndicated advice columnist for The Washington Post “Here are three things I did while I read this book: laughed, cringed, and scribbled a whole slew of notes in the margins …. James Sexton delivers frank, no-holds-barred advice, gleaned from the front lines of divorce. The real trick, though, is how he does it with so much love ….

This is a book teeming with hope.” —Grant Ginder, author of The People We Hate at the Wedding “Wryly written with plenty of candid wit and straightforward opinions … Sexton’s enthusiasm and affinity for marriage stories is evident throughout as he examines issues such as honesty, sex negotiations, infidelity, long- term relationship ‘slippage,’ and that stinging realization that ‘what’s fun when you’re dating is a pain in the ass when you’re married’ …

sage counsel to help readers better navigate the trajectories of their own relationships.” —Kirkus Reviews “James J. Sexton’s book is a delightful surprise. Sexton is not offering the usual how-to-have-a-happy-marriage book, but rather a how-not-to-divorce book …. Sexton doesn’t judge.
