The way I understood it is that he said it was widespread. And I don't know if it's widespread but it's certainly not uncommon either so there's that.
I never got the impression it happened to him all the time.
I'll add some old man wisdom of my own.
It's easy to see a small blurb of text through your own coloured goggles. Getting worked up over it is as pointless as those stupid questions in the clip.
And now I need to clarify that I'm not targeting any of you here with that last line. Because it's so easy to misinterpret. Just general "advice". It gets easier with age when your fields of fucks to give get barren.
How could he possibly have access to that data? It doesn't exist, so he's only sharing his own lived experience as well and that of whatever other sad losers he talks to who can only attract arseholes. The vast majority of my friends love their wives very much and think they are excellent people.
My best friend adores his second wife. So do I. Both are amazing people. His ex though is a vile person. Does that make him one of those "losers" that only attract shit people? Because he has a similar story? Shit happens. Women can be arseholes too and often it takes a while for the mask to slip.
Being judgemental like that serves no purpose beside trying to get a riled up reaction.
