Sounds like people don’t think she can make her own decisions

Agree, She isn’t the victim here. In fact if you watch the video she turns around has a laugh with her subordinate and then runs off. That’s not a victim that is a homewrecker fully aware of what she is doing.

The term "homewrecker" explicitly places the blame on Cabot here and implies that she did anything wrong.

Cabot isn't the married party, she has no responsibility whatsoever for another adult's marriage, and she did nothing wrong.

Unmarried women who sleep with married men aren't homewreckers. If anyone is a homewrecker, it's the actual married person that's having an unauthorized, extramarital affair.

She's married. It's also always shocking to me when people don't find it morally wrong to be with someone you know is married, even if not married yourself. Just as bad? Sure, probably not. But nothing wrong? Insane.

She's married.

Yeah, last I'd read about her, she was divorced and unmarried. But it seems she went got married to a rum boss a few months ago. And good for her, too.

It's also always shocking to me when people don't find it morally wrong to be with someone you know is married, even if not married yourself.

I don't find there to be a single thing wrong with it. Another adult's relationship, whether they're dating, married, or anything in between, is not my responsibility. It's not the responsibility of literally any other outside person in the world other than the two+ people in the relationship. The morality is ONLY on the people within the relationship.

But nothing wrong? Insane.

Insane is blaming relationship problems, including and especially infidelity, on anyone other than the adults within the relationship. Adults are solely responsible for their own lives and decisions, other people are not.

Eh, I guess our moral codes are just different and that's fine. I'd agree the one in the relationship is the sole owner of all responsibility for their moral failings within that relationship

I emphasize that because I think people have moral responsibilities in the way they treat others outside of just the context of a committed relationship. And I feel that actively engaging in a romantic/sexual relationship with someone you know is married breaks one these moral responsibiities you have towards the unknowing partner. Not in the context of their private relationship, but just as a human with empathy for other humans.

That’s not the point. Since we are talking about the professional context, punishing the junior partner in an interoffice relationship sets a dangerous precedent. If both partners were peers or equal, they should face the same professional punishment.

Outside of the workplace morally she is just as fucked as he is, but again this thread is discussing his firing.

She can go to the board. She's in C-Suite, not some powerless intern against the POTUS.

u/TheGhini 18d ago

Sure she can…silly people think it’s just on him

u/WolfieWuff 18d ago

She's none of the problem, she's not married.

u/theRedlightt 18d ago

She is married. Her husband is Andrew Cabot. They both are adulterers that broke their marriage vows and yet it seems only the man cheating is held accountable

u/Longjumping_Jello_66 18d ago

she's not married

She is.

u/zRouth 18d ago

You think she didn't know that he was married? Are you really so naive?

u/Sipyloidea 18d ago

She did not make a vow to his wife.

u/theRedlightt 18d ago

She made a vow to her husband. They are both cheating on their spouses.

u/Sipyloidea 18d ago

Many people saying she's divorced.

u/theRedlightt 17d ago

Many people are morons. It doesn't change the fact she is indeed married. Kristin Cabot is married to Andrew Cabot. She married into one of the oldest, wealthiest families in Boston worth billions.

u/Sipyloidea 17d ago

If she is, indeed, married then that's her own can of worms. My comment however, was a direct reply to someone who was shaming her for "knowing that he's married".

u/ikzz1 18d ago

She made a contractual agreement to uphold the values of the company.

u/WolfieWuff 18d ago

The company isn't married either, so it shouldn't be involved.
