I am an extremely anti crab man. They go against my life imperative of putting one foot before the next and do not obey human convention. For this reason I will say In response to this video - to hell with this crab. I hope it gets sand in its eyes again. I really miss my wife.

[Arthur Wirtz Jr. @cigmanbodega]

@eurofootcom You just lost and your first reaction is to praise the man who constructed your downfall? Imagine. The cheek of this man. When my life left me for a woman, I tried to ruin her life, not sing her praises to the tabloids. What a weak mentality.

[Arthur Wirtz Jr. @cigmanbodega]

@BlackheartSora True. My life has blossomed since I decided to let the hatred in my heart go. I frequently visit “gay bars” now where I feel a sense of love that left me after my divorce. The idea of being mean to somebody for the way they present is so alien to me now.

@alandelmonte Food metaphors are honestly the way to get back into your exes heart. I’m not sure what it is, something biological within them maybe, but even my lesbian ex wife can’t seem to resist an aubergine pun. I’m seeing her later to eat fish sticks and watch young sheldon.

Me when my lesbian ex wife texts me to say she’s just unpacked the shopping and her gaze lingered on the cucumber for over seven seconds

@Polybius3000 @Okonkwo_Sports Are you sure? They’re the entry level books that if I was president all children under the age of 13 will have to have read. This “man” knows nothing about real literature and must be gatekept. I didn’t survive finnegan’s wake for him to go viral before me.

@KatieMiller @TheDemocrats My ex wife called me ugly and attached a photo in a popular mothers’ forum back in ‘03. When I went ice skating alone that night, a woman recognised me from said photo. She showed me and apologised that my wife couldn’t see beauty. I received no death threats, only a lesbian wife

In the inaugural election for my neighbourhood watch president, one candidate (voted trump) argued that if he were not elected, he would commit assault and be put in prison, obviously as a kind of threat. The town “bear” (gay man) pummelled him physically and he dropped out.

[Kelly @broadwaybabyto]

If you have to win an election to avoid ending up in prison, you’re not one of the good guys.

[Arthur Wirtz Jr. @cigmanbodega]

@ActualCorn Good. It serves to demonstrate that no matter how much work you do, if you are a bad human being, you will never be unanimously celebrated in death. I have been the bigger man all my life, have suffered immensely, yet I know when it’s all over, I’ll be looked upon kindly.

[Arthur Wirtz Jr. @cigmanbodega]

@TheeePinned That’s the thing with bad parents. As time passes, you realise that your child holds all the cards. Due to my commitments to my neighbourhood watch, I became distant from my children. I missed them so much, but they seemed relatively indifferent to my absence.

[Arthur Wirtz Jr. @cigmanbodega]

@allenanalysis JD sort of walked into that one. It upsets me how poor the insults are. As a man who went through a messy divorce, I can guarantee JD isn’t even eating with his wife/family. He’s probably spending Christmas curled up with Erika Kirk.

[Arthur Wirtz Jr. @cigmanbodega]

@BetterCallAlba I’ve quite literally never seen anyone with so little “aura” and stage presence. People get upset at LGBT being “thrown in their faces” (as the ex husband of a lesbian, I never cared about this) but the same people don’t get upset at this woman being foist upon them?

[Arthur Wirtz Jr. @cigmanbodega]

@RonFilipkowski The issue with trying to convince dumb people that things are going well is that you also inevitably look extremely dumb in doing so. Such a display of abject, performative stupidity has no place in present times, and I yearn for the day we can look back and scorn it.

[Arthur Wirtz Jr. @cigmanbodega]

@USA_Polling As much as I hate these fellows, I feel as if it’s wrong to laugh at them getting beaten up and losing. They knew the risks of getting involved in this and would’ve mentally prepared for these moments. I’d prefer it if they were mobbed in the street and heavily embarrassed.

[Arthur Wirtz Jr. @cigmanbodega]

I like this show, but it’s food for thought about my mental health. When I found out the lead was a lesbian woman, I gulped. I noticed that I was suppressing joy at the tragedy of the partner in episode 1, and am taking it to therapy. It’s great how media can touch blind spots.

When my therapist told me that I needed to view all others w/empathy, this is as close to the breaking point as it gets. Attempting to profit and grandstand post-affair is monstrous. At least when I developed small Twitter fame my lesbian exwife shrunk into the shadows.

Gwyneth Paltrow's decision to poke fun at the Coldplay kiss cam scandal is now being called out by the woman at the center it: ex-Astronomer HR chief Kristin Cabot.

“I was such a fan of her company [Goop] which seemed to be about uplifting women. And then she did this. I thought, ‘How dare she after the beating she got for all the conscious uncoupling stuff.’ What a hypocrite,” Cabot told The Times.

@berrysweetlady @WiscoSunflower How can you be so callous? This is a nice thing to do. If you were to bump into an unfriendly foe tomorrow, would you not want to have some degree of pre warning to prepare yourself? Why don’t I foist my hormonal teenage daughters upon you when they’re angtsy with no warning?

[Arthur Wirtz Jr. @cigmanbodega]

@KXNGAO People inherently struggle with subtext and nuance. In his own way, he was highlighting democratically how unhappy he was with everything. This is why I speak the way I speak. There is power in meaning. Do I need to say I moved on from my divorce? No. But I can imply it.

[Arthur Wirtz Jr. @cigmanbodega]

@Criminalsimpson This was me for a couple of years after my wife left me for a woman. But family, quitting drinking and moving forward gradually really changed me. Despite finding it difficult to watch Simpsons and see some of my past self in Homer, it's nice as a reminder of what I moved past.

[Arthur Wirtz Jr. @cigmanbodega]

@TheMMALawyer @LarAtLarian To be fair, it’s not designed to clear up, moreso just a PSA to advertise an AMA that will answer queries in more detail. However, when comparing with my divorce, I would’ve preferred my wife to simply tell me she was a lesbian rather than delaying to an AMA so you’re also right.

@myselfcoaching1 @OrevaZSN When I was in my wonder years during college, I had a friend called Marcus who lived on a farm and was seldom allowed out. He became addicted to weed and prescription drugs within the first year and engaged in homosexual practices despite being straight. Dropped out soon after.
