was there a post about this back in june? i'm too dumb to find it with search

prestigious couple (she descended from cornelius vanderbilt; he went to yale law and runs arden asset mgmt). they met when he was senior associate to her junior at davis polk.

according to her op-ed, the husband just had an affair and bailed on her and 2 teenage daughters during covid, said it wasn't the life he wanted. anyway, pretty sad

I sometimes see him from afar in our shared city neighborhood. He looks familiar, his posture and gait, his sandy blonde hair and orange sneakers, and my heart leaps a little at the sight of him. But then I remember he is a stranger, and I walk on.

He doesn't think of you at all.

I wouldn't write an op-ed about my divorce but at the same time I sympathize with her based on it. Maybe she's just paid for superb PR but it's a better piece than most female divorcees could produce

he's a pretty good looking bro. and she said his left-handed hand-written markups were methodical and he could run multiple deals np. cherry on top, he is unemotional and reserved.

That is one unhappy looking dude, like he has steadily ground away at the prestigious, remunerative track but has finally realized the reward of fulfillment he was always deferring is never going to arrive. I used to see a lot of guys like that in IB and PE.

I can commiserate with him at some level, but I can’t respect anyone who blows up their personal life to exchange one woman for another. I’m sure his wife ran him up the wall at times, but a new woman isn’t going to be any different. I have no idea what his children are like, but at some point you have to stop living for yourself and start making choices about what’s best for them.

I question the intelligence of people who “seek fulfillment” in these fields. Like how can you not know that it’s just boring drudgery.

"When he walked into my office, shut the door and kissed me, I was done for."

This would be literal rape in 2023.

Ironically, it had been my husband’s steadiness that made me fall in love with him. We met at a corporate law firm where he was a senior associate, and I was a junior associate assigned to his group in my second year. He was a great lawyer with a quick mind, able to supervise a dozen deals at a time, thoughtful and methodical in his left-handed markups of legal documents.

The husband sounds like a huge asshole. Left his wife and three kids during the pandemic for a crazy 35 year old with BPD and two toddlers. Refused custody of his own kids but pwned his ex wife with their prenup and took half of her stuff but kept all of his own.
