      You can term this abuse if you want, but I see this as appropriate consequences for a hurtful act IMO. If you don’t like that don’t cheat.

        Revenge porn and recording someone having sex without consent is a crime regardless of what that person has done to you to hurt your feelings.

          Revenge porn

          explain what revenge porn is, and why you think this is revenge porn.

          EDIT for viewers at home :

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revenge_porn

          Revenge porn is the distribution of sexually explicit images or videos of individuals without their consent

          it may shock some of you to know that evidence for divorce proceedings is not distrobution.

            Explain to me why you’re clipping my comment out of context to try to make a point.

              because you’re bending over backwards to frame someone abusing someone else in a legal system as being the victim.

                She was the victim in the case of her husband recording her without her consent. And he’s the victim in the case of their marriage breaking because of infidelity.

                One wrong doesn’t justify another wrong.

                Let me ask you - how far do you think he should be allowed to break the law in order to deliver punishment to his wife by his own hand?

                  … This is the societal compromise, you get evidence that someone cheated on you instead of murdering them.

                    I’m asking you how far do you think he should be allowed to break the law in order to deliver punishment to his wife for cheating?

                    You really think murder is justified in the case of cheating?

          Sure, I guess. I suppose it is also illegal for me to beat the shit out of someone who tried to mug me. It’s against the rules for a kid bullied in school to fight back. Certain actions invite harsh consequences. Doesn’t mean it’s not an entirely appropriate consequence to suffer for having cheated on someone.

          People don’t learn their lessons without consequences. And anyone who would violate someone’s trust like that certainly has a lesson that needs learning. I don’t get why you’re defending a cheater here, it is a very immature position to take in this situation and such an obvious and reasonable consequence for this person.

            Because people are justifying abuse when it’s very rarely, if ever, justified.

            One person’s actions don’t justify your abusive actions regardless of how hurt you are.

            Cheaters make terrible decisions that hurt their partners. I’m not defending that. But that’s independent of these revenge fantasies you all are coming up with for her.

            She was punished by the courts as was he for their separate actions.

              So if someone raped my daughter, you would defend that rapist from me trying to break every bone in their body?

              If yes, something is deeply wrong with you.

              If not, then we agree that sometimes consequences beyond what the law prescribes are appropriate. We just disagree where the line is, and it makes your reasoning pretty hollow.

                  How is it a false equivalence? One person broke a rule and might receive legal consequences, and the act certainly merits something more severe than that. Do you not think the legal consequences are not enough in that case? Because following your logic here, you would defend that rapist.

                  Again the only difference is where you draw the line, and that defeats the moral purity of your terrible argument. Abusers deserve the abuse they receive. End of fucking story.
