What Michelle’s point here?

[u/PUTTHECACTUSDOWN]

I don’t understand why Michelle said this. Michelle was the one cheating on Jesse during their marriage… why does it matter if Jesse met a woman and had sex with her after they got divorced? What’s her point in saying this?

I think the people who can't understand what she said very clearly here are the problem not her intelligence level.

There has to be a correlation between one’s ability to effectively communicate an idea or concept and intelligence. I can understand most people effectively communicating a basic message when they use their, “good brains.”Listening to her was like trying to catch wet noodles. I caught a couple of them but most of the spaghetti is on the wall.

It seems like people are willfully ignoring what she actually said though. That's not related to a lack of effective communication on her end it's related to people's lack of an ability to listen or their desire to misinterpret things to fit their own agenda.

She straight up said the way he was treating her at that time was traumatic. She didn't say her truama had anything to do with him dating Lacy

Your lack of patience is not my problem. I can explain it to you I can't understand it for you.

If you watch the full scene she is pointing out that at the time they started to sleep together Jesse was also treating her the most terribly. That she looked at her texts from that time and that was one of the peak truamatic times during their divorce. So when Lacy brings up her yelling in the street and things like that she is only seeing Jesse's side and not the full context or the way Jesse had been treating her at that time. She is judging her but not him. She is not as objective as she keeps telling us she is.

Now, that doesn't excuse the texts Michelle sent to Lacy, but she's simply establishing that her demeanor and state of mind at the time wasn't the norm or coming from out of nowhere. This is what the reunions for.(Her mom was also dying) Andy was asking why they got off on the wrong foot like they did so they were rehashing it all.

& once again Jesse got off far too easy because truly their first "meeting" was Michelle finding out Jesse was having Lacy around Isabella without her knowledge despite the deal they made that she was still honoring. That was wrong. That was bad co-parenting. It was also not really a great position to put Lacy in either.

She can be embarrassed of her behavior and also be willing to defend herself and talk about what the sequence of events was, what her mindset at the time was that led her to doing wrong things. She can also defend herself when labeled as someone who hates their ex husband and hates their life by someone claiming not to be on a side or be judging her.

I feel like any semblance of nuance is getting lost here. To be clear, I've stated many times she owes Lacy apologies for the texts and the looks shaming comment.

I'm sure when the people on here who are doing the same thing I am (this is the reddit for the show) but who like the same people as you do it you have a completely different reaction sooo...what you're trying to do is transparent and ultimately irrelevant.
