It’s ragebait for people who think porking rights should be exclusive by default. And by that I mean nasty horrible idiots. Abolish marriage!
Passerby6497@lemmy.world 2 hours ago
Toxic polyamory is just as bad as toxic monogamy. If people want to be exclusive they should be exclusive. If your partner wants to be exclusive and you don’t, and you choose to cheat, you’re still a piece of shit.
MotoAsh@lemmy.world 7 hours ago
Uhhh, if you donpt like marriage, how about don’t get married?! This isn’t rocket science… They both got married. They both signed the social contract that by default means exclusivity, regardless of what you think.

I'm all for people being able to bone other consenting adults, married or not, but these two clearly think that cheating is bad. If they had open relationships, then why would they care if they were seen together?

The problem isn’t the lack of monogamy, it’s the violation of your partner(‘)(s)(’) trust.

Do I need to know who that is? I tried looking up the name but all I can find is gossipy yelling about the two of them and Coldplay so apparently this seems to be some big deal but in general I don’t think it should be the public’s concern if someone has an affair (exceptions apply).

What’s weird is that when these videos first started popping up is that every one of them talked about “Astronomer CEO”. I couldn’t understand how they knew he was a CEO or why he was an astronomer. It turns out that Astronomer is a “DataOps platform built on Apache Airflow”. That’s even an area I know a fair amount about, and I’d never even heard of them. It’s strange that it wasn’t just “cheating couple caught on kiss cam”, but instead immediately it was “Astronomer CEO”.

Their reactions to being on the big screen which instigated Chris Martin’s live commentary is what’s causing this video to go viral.
The point being if they hadn’t had this reaction to getting caught, Chris Martin wouldn’t have commented, and the video probably never would’ve taken off or even posted outside of someones private story.
If someone is having an affair, and having an affair in a public place, and the affair is between the CEO and the lead person at the company who knows better than to instigate this type of relationship (the head of HR), this is a hilarious way to get caught.

I really hate their friends in the video. They’re all aware their friends are piece of shit cheaters, and they find it funny. “Haha we’re taking part in destroying a woman’s life by helping her husband cheat, hilarious!”

In balance of power. Since he is the CEO he holds a position of authority over her. She could very well be in a position where she fearful of retaliation if she doesn’t except his advances. I’m not saying that’s the case here, but there is a chance it could be.

When I last read the story he was confirmed to be married but nobody knew anything about her. That’s why
Taldan@lemmy.world 9 hours ago
That’s the CEO and CPO, not her friends. She was recently promoted, possibly related to things like this
She’s making tens of thousands more per year to be complicit. I’ve seen people do much worse for much less money

Being partner in crime is a bonding experience if you do something that is morally right against a superior enemy. Not a group of guys ganging up on a women.

Not if the friend is wrong. If they’re really wrong then, I’ll try to talk them out of it. If they’re really really wrong, then I’ll stop being their friend.
I don’t like this kind of in-group/out-group clannish mentality – that “right” is whatever the in-group decides, with no greater thought to what’s like actually the best thing for everyone, whether they’re in the group or not.

People who think ducking other people and require porking excludivity rights and that violating that egregious agreement is to be understood as “cheating” and that jt “destroys your life” are THE PROBLEM. Big capital P PROBLEM and please all of you duck off into the Sun already you medieval, knuckle-dragging, fairy tale believing, immature, uptight, toxic, purita-totalitarian, well poisonning, abscess-filled, fun preventers and your ball breaking accomplices!
Salamanderwizard@lemmy.world 7 hours ago
That’s a lot of mouth diarrhea to say you’re a piece of shit who doesn’t respect your partners wishes for monogamy.
SinAdjetivos@lemmy.world 8 hours ago
“Cheating” isn’t just violating “porking exclusivity rights”, it’s breaking whatever the commitments and promises you have made to others within that relationship.
I agree completely that the institutions of marriage and default of hard monogamy are a “Big capital P PROBLEM”, but only because it prevents thinking and talking about what those commitments should be between the individuals within those relationships. Which inevitably ends up causing harm because it allows for the incredibly immature stance of “all relationships should be {like this}” without considering the wants and needs of those involved.
The problem with the couple above is that they are clearly, and publicly, being caught in the act of breaking the terms of some such personal agreement, however unspoken, and that makes one or both of them a lying, two face, cowardly, immature, piece of shit regardless of any overarching discussion about monogamy, but what else should you expect from a CEO?
The key takeaway is that your message will not land with anyone and will be counterproductive because you are conflating being a dishonest douchenozzle with general non-monogamy and people will resent you and your underlying message, however valid, because of it.

danc4498@lemmy.world 14 hours ago
It’s not a big deal, just a fun story that blew up. Guy pops up on Jumbotron, looks horrified cause he knew he was cheating. Lead singer even comments on the fact that they’re having an affair. Turns out he was a CEO and that was his secretary (tail as old as time). Internet loves it.
Chaotic_Altruist@lemmy.zip 13 hours ago
It’s not his secretary, she’s his chief of human resources. It’s essentially her entire job to prevent these kinds of relationships. there are likely legal ramifications and the company is gonna take a hit regardless.
But that’s not the issue so much as the fact that the CEO then turns to social media to give the most vague apology ever and then starts attacking the general public because a “private moment became public without my consent”. He literally brought his side piece to a public event with cameras broadcasting across the nation and blames everyone else that he got caught.
It’s honestly pretty scandalous on it’s own, but his reaction is what makes it so delicious.
Taldan@lemmy.world 9 hours ago

No it wasn’t. She’s the CPO, Chief People Officer. Basically head of HR. Where did you get the idea she was a secretary?

Chaotic_Altruist@lemmy.zip 13 hours ago
CEO cheats with his human resources chief and blames the general public for it. That HR chief has likely fired people for similar relationships within the company. Says the public is at fault for violating his privacy at a public event. Everyone is pissed for some reason or another.
Could have just cheated with anyone else and it would have been a personal matter, but the situation and his reaction have been pretty bad.
