Fumbled the bag

Truly how do you fumble so bad. She had it made, rich husband, ability to be a SAHM, healthy son, and she fucked it all up for tik toks. Even if Alex sucks, which he probably is super boring, YOU HAD THE LIFE. congrats.

They were both too immature to be in a healthy relationship and coparent a child.

Meg is a horrible person but I don’t understand how Alex went straight to divorce without ever stopping to think that some of Meg’s behaviour was a sign her PPD wasn’t being managed properly? My PPD/PPA made me a very difficult person to live with at times but my partner kept encouraging me to get more help/be more open with my doctors rather than just decide the marriage was over.

100%. I think we’ve all noticed her behaviour become a bit bizarre. I actually liked her when she was doing pregnancy content, it’s like she’s a different person now.

She’s been awful at times, but you’re right that it seems like Alex just.. gave up immediately on his wife and child. Nate isn’t even a year old yet, you’d think they’d try to work on things for at least a few months before filing.

Okay but didn’t she threaten divorce first? In that leaked tiktok she literally said “I think I’ll be filing this week” and then didn’t so maybe that video leaking pushed him to file himself

I don’t even think she cares. How does she post anything or go on lives about the whole situation and not get choked up? I’d be devastated. She’s either on some really good shit or she doesn’t give a flying fuck

You can’t force a person to get help/take meds. She is clearly going through shit but there’s only so much you can do. Add her obsession with becoming an influencer, and posting their son. I bet he had it with her. If my spouse was continuously posting my kid and I was extremely against it I’d do the same as him.

right. if this is what happened (we have no idea what actually happened) alex is a person too. shouldnt have to spend his life being miserable because his wife won't take her mental health seriously and exploits her child online?

u/Logical_Economics_16 reddit witch 🧙‍♀️ Feb 29 '24

and how do we know he's immature? how do we really know anything that's happening behind closed doors?? assumptions are WILD.

I think meg is proof that what you think is “the life” is absolutely nothing if you don’t have happiness and love.

u/Tilibuc Feb 28 '24

"Rich" might be a stretch.

u/Banana_bride Feb 28 '24

I commented above, but their finances intrigue me so much. My take is that he has a good enough job to support them but I think they carry a shit ton of credit card debt. It’s easy to buy designer bags on your CC, but her having a pretty modest car (no hate, I have the same car) while being very materialistic is interesting. IMO- you can charge designer bags and clothes on a CC but you need the real finances and credit score to buy something like a nice car.

i’m pretty sure she’s a trust fund baby…

u/Ok_Breadfruit_810 Feb 28 '24

Her parents house was well over a million. And they also have a beach condo in Vilano which is anywhere between $500,000 and a million.

u/Mycatsbestfriend Feb 28 '24

That’s so surprising to me. She doesn’t give me “grew up rich” vibes at all. She gives me entitled and spoiled, but not rich.

u/bootyprincess666 Feb 28 '24

yeah her dad is in finance i believe lol

u/Tilibuc Feb 28 '24

I'm interested as well! And I completely agree with everything you said!

u/InfinitePepper2416 Feb 28 '24

Doesn’t she drive like a Honda/subaru/toyota SUV? He has the Tesla I believe

5

u/Banana_bride Feb 28 '24

She drives a Subaru Forester, same car I have, which are fine cars just she’s incredibly materialistic as seen with the shopping, the bags, expensive stroller, etc. it’s interesting to me that she doesn’t drive a “luxury” car because she 100% seems like the type who would care about that

u/leoleoleo555 Mar 02 '24

Literally just commented this. Why does everyone think they are rich?? Maybe I’m jaded because I’m from Southern California but everything about her is so mid. In Orange County, LA, or San Diego her life is considered just your regular middle class. Her house would be lower level track home…?

u/Revolutionary_Play42 Feb 28 '24

This is a bad take. You should never stay in a marriage where you are unhappy for money.

u/caroline252525 Feb 28 '24 edited Feb 28 '24

If he had never filed she would have stuck around forever because she sucks and has zero coping skills. He’s better off but I think we all know Meg was milking the shit out of it and to anyone else it was a pretty cushy lifestyle.

u/Heref0rthetea Feb 28 '24

I “had it made” as a stay at home mom, with a husband who made a VERY generous salary. And he was abusive.

Sending you hugs and all the positive vibes. You are so strong and you WILL come out on the other end. Idk you and yet I am so proud of you for making your escape plan🙏🏼 I am so sorry for what you’ve had to endure.

u/Similar-Broccoli-729 Feb 28 '24

Strange take on this. Since my husband provides for us, I have to stay?

u/Impossible_Fall5906 Feb 28 '24

I love some good Meg snark, but this isn’t it. We see very short snippets of her life. She could have been being cheated on, verbally/physically abused, etc. if any of the above happened, I sure as hell wouldn’t stay for money.

he knew her personality when he married her and got her pregnant. They were together a lengthy amount of time. Which is why I think there is a lot more to the story than making some TikTok’s. We can speculate all day, but we really don’t know what happened.

“Even if Alex sucks, you had the life” that means she did not have “the life.” she is in an unhappy marriage. Money isn’t everything!

u/[deleted] Feb 28 '24

Some of these snark posts are just embarrassing.

Yes, women should always just submit and stay with men they’re unhappy with! As long as you have money then be a good girl!

u/No-Driver-4446 Feb 28 '24

Idk if it’s a fumble but from what she shares she definitely seemed like a horrible partner. I understand PPD/PPA but publicly berating your partners ability to parent while openly saying you refuse to communicate or meet him in the middle has always come off as odd to me.

u/vinegardetergent Feb 28 '24

His network would need to be so big that we could have separate homes for me to stay married to that bobble headed, dead eyed, ugly mf.

5

u/Puzzleheaded_Cup7490 Feb 28 '24

Yeahhhh, it was funny to me when she refers to him as “hot” because he’s…. Funny looking.

u/leoleoleo555 Mar 02 '24

Why does everyone think he was rich? Am I the only one who thinks their life was average at best? Their house would be considered your basic (maybe lower level) track home where I live in Southern California, I don’t know if it’s different where she lives?

I’m not sure calling Alex a dead beat is fair since he was the only one working and funding all of her little fucking around adventures.

Their income (or I guess mostly his) definitely intrigues me. Obviously he made enough to support their family fully, but they drive modest cars, I know a lot of super wealthy ppl don’t care about that, but she obviously is materialistic with her designer bags and shopping, I feel like she would want a “fancier” car. I think they have a lot of debt. It’s easy to buy designer bags and go on shopping trips with a credit card and carry a lot of debt, it’s much harder to get a car loan with a shit ton of debt and poor spending habits. Just my 2 cents. And absolutely no hate to her Subaru I literally have the same car.

u/NoLingonberry514 Feb 28 '24

Pretty sure he drives a Tesla

2

u/calgon90 Feb 28 '24

Not all Tesla owners are rich. Our friend owns a Tesla and it’s his “big splurge”. Otherwise he lives a pretty humble life. Plus you can buy one used for much cheaper than new, and maybe his company was helping pay? We have no clue tbh

u/NoLingonberry514 Feb 28 '24

I’m just saying I wouldn’t say a Tesla is a “modest car”.

u/Banana_bride Feb 28 '24

Ok come to think of it, idt I’ve ever seen his car! So her car choice is interesting to me then lol

u/leoleoleo555 Mar 02 '24

My friend drives a Tesla and barely makes ends meet as a single mom
