I first would like to say this is a horrible way to treat anybody and hope that Neha Rastogi gets all the support she needs to deal with this situation.
That being said, does even the spousal abuse have to be related to software in Silicon Valley? Just listening to the video was so surreal. Lots of spouses fight over things but what a "bug" is or is not? It's just crazy that this is what came out of Silicon Valley.
- maerF0x0 10y agoCouples mostly fight over inane things. I only read 1/2 the article but it sounds like they're both quite sick. Him a seemingly sociopath (as many CEOs are) and her some kind of dependence disorder (codependence?) . Why in the world would she bail out someone who has abused her? They both need treatment.
- aanm1988 10y agoNo, she needs help. He needs to get tossed in jail.
- maerF0x0 10y agoJail will be part of his recovery (as long as he isnt badly beaten or raped). But I also think he deserves mental health care. Counseling or something.
- valuearb 10y agoBeaten or raped? He got 30 days in Silicon Valley jail not prison. He will likely get put in special custody with benefits, and probably get out early, maybe within a week or two. He will learn nothing from this, and is likely even angrier at his wife. He will get joint custody and find ways to torture her emotionally.
- maerF0x0 10y ago30 days is part of a bigger picture. You sound very angry about this situation.
- valuearb 10y agoWhy would she bail him out? They have kids, he has the money, she still loved him and hoped he would now change, etc. People make decisions based on hope all the time.
- bobwaycott 10y agoFuck, mate. You really don't understand the world of abuse.
- maerF0x0 10y agoactually i was abused. So i understand more than nothing.
- bobwaycott 10y agoThen it's pretty incomprehensible that you'd label a victim of abuse as "sick".
- maerF0x0 10y agopeople who know anything about abuse realize that there's almost always enablement on the victims behalf for abuse to continue beyond a very small number of instances. Think of the alcoholic's spouse. The spouse often makes excuses for the alcoholic, often struggles to ensure the finances remain in order, that the alcoholic's responsibilities are taken care of when they're drunk etc. In this case it sounds like codependence. She was afraid and unable to do what she must to avoid the abuse from her spouse . Yes, she's a victim in the initial case(s) but subsequent cases it begs what is out of order in her that she didnt leave, didnt value her and her child enough to seek the health and safety ? Thats the sick part. A healthy person wouldnt take that abuse.
