I can understand sleeping with a married man. I can kind of understand getting any old dude to father your kid in a state of desperation, like TS Garp's mom. I can ever comprehend thinking about what you did, and justifying it as biology and circumstance and "we all make mistakes." All is fair in love and war. What I can't understand is writing about it and sharing it publicly. Whatever happened to shame? I'm beyond confused that so many people CLAPPED for it. Is it a brilliant piece of writing? Is it the height of confessional authentic honesty that will inspire others to never do this? Are readers RELATING to this (women, I presume?) I am forced to conclude 6.9K people on Medium find it relatable, readable, and are being supportive.
