Eh, Laura and Sophia have known for decades that I post about my life here. I even [wrote a letter to Sophia](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/an-open-letter-to-my-daughter-sophia/918949) which compiled my more significant threads and posts about her and sent it to her for her to read during her August quarantine.

And I’m pretty sure she _didn’t_, as some of the links are still unclicked.

And your ex knows you’re talking about her affair, identifying her by name and location? Stay classy.

There may be some boundary issues here. I didn’t read all the links, but there is such a thing as oversharing with your child. I don’t know if you are intending to share this post with her, and hope you don’t. She doesn’t need to know the details of your relationship or your divorce.

Are we certain he’s using real names and locations?

All of his numerous posted photos here are at his Google account with his full name and a pic of himself. He’s told us what city he lives in many times. He seems compelled to dox himself, and his family by extension.

I think some people out there really do have amazing marriages, but it’s probably like 1 out of 6 or 8 marriages. Most of us in marriage just try to hang on.

In another thread, I think I made the point that marriage is way too easy to enter into and way too easy to get out of, even though it’s a financial mess. It ought to be more challenging to enter into a marital contract. Probably 9 of 10 couples, despite being very good people, have no idea what they’re getting into when they get married.
