I'm glad that you agree that there may be more to the story, but when you say that Thurston is the "villain" in this story, you don't seem to acknowledge that there may be another side.
Finally, I'm not trying to find fault in Kim's statements. I'm simply not convinced that it reveals all the relevant facts in this story. My attitude about Thurston's alleged cheating is very much like a jury: "innocent until proven guilty." But I doubt that any of us will ever have enough "evidence" to reach a fair "verdict." If I had some way of knowing that Thurston simply got bored of Kim and decided to sleep with someone new, then I would lose a lot of respect for him.

Look Thurston, it's your ex-wife you've left for sway, not me.
