  • There was a non-trivial chance that OP could get battered or straight up murdered without any knowledge or consent able to be given if the husband were to ever find out. The other party took zero of the steps available to mitigate this possibility.

    There’s a non-trivial chance that this behavior puts their children in danger because the offending party is making risky decisions to cover up their indiscretion. It’s impossible to know.

    Maybe the “investigation” removed the woman into doing something unconscionable.

    In any number of imaginary situations, the OP took the morally correct approach and your approach could have gotten someone hurt or killed by inaction. It’s an incredibly morally ambiguous position to be put in and this guy did what he felt was right, it’s hard for me to pass that kind of judgement on him.

















  • To speculate wildly, that would make more sense than the disorders being a spectrum of one another.

    It’s important to think about this stuff with a scientific perspective as well. These theories to the underlying mechanism are working understandings based on available evidence. They’re far from being proven fact, or even consensus, and it’s entirely possible that there are confounding factors that aren’t being taken into account because of Donald Rumsfeld reasons. It might seem appealing to do, but connecting one working understanding to a second separate working understanding and then trying to synthesize novel conclusions from that doesn’t really work.

    We know a lot of the symptoms that present with both disorders, we know that the symptoms share a significant amount of overlap, we know that they co-present at a higher level than the baseline (if you have one you’re more likely to be a person who has the other compared to regular-brained people), so it’s highly likely that they have similar underlying physiology, but our understanding of that physiology isn’t anywhere near complete enough to make a definitive guess.
