I’ll never understand how this dude just speaks this story with such ease without any acknowledgment on his part. Just sick.
Exactly 😢
Wow. This episode is again on OWN tv. I’ve seen it several times and used to sympathize with Mark. My eyes have been opened - he’s obviously agreed to the extensive 20/20 interview to promote his damn book. He’s a sociopath who hasn’t taken responsibility for HIS actions as a cheat and liar. He’s very good at deflecting and leading us to believe that his wife was crazy and his girlfriend was a saint. And he’s of course the victim of circumstance? WOW. The balls.
He believes he didn’t do any harm to his wife …. Very sick
I understand you, however when someone stops loving you. You don’t do the things Jenair did.
@@camillevote7901. He was trying to be honest with her and was trying to let her down easy when someone stops loving you. You can’t make them Love you. The thing she did was just unfathomable.
After 8 years together, my husband and I got pregnant. We had a son. Two years later I found an old phone that he used. Not sure what told me to check it. I found out that during my pregnancy and even shortly after my son was born, he had been with 21 different women. I went crazy. I did not hurt him although I wanted to. I blamed myself for years until I accepted that he has a problem and I finally left him. As a person, you have to know when to close a chapter. People will only do to you what you allow them to do.
Damn 21 women that's absurd
Yea but women who know and act like they don't know also have problems
I wish the best to you & your kid,
You will never be the same person & it will be hard to trust another man. Take your time to heal, love yourself before you get involved with anyone else. ❤️ from TX
Does he not know that just ONE of those women could have been a psycho and killed you, him, or BOTH of y’all. It’s happened plenty of times. Men are sick selfish bastards. No need to lock it down and be a damn dog cheating with any and every one. And then he could have given you a sexually transmitted disease! Smh. Instead of communicating, men run elsewhere when unhappy. And even though they cheat left and right, they wouldn’t dare leave their wife for the other woman in most cases. So why cheat in the first place??? Marriage isn’t just about sex! It’s about sex, vision, understanding, compromise, encouragement and support. It’s a foundation in which no one should be able to destroy. Sex includes soul ties and all kinds of stuff smh
@@keluvnme if a man or woman has not been shown real love..how can he or she show it? Its really sad because in your response...you are implying you are an expert on love. Really? Then please teach the world rather than trying to tell it off. We all fall short hun.
Jennair’s story sounds like mine . Married 24 years , hubby begins affair with co-worker , I find her in our bedroom. No , I didn’t kill anyone , or threaten, etc. instead I had a major nervous breakdown . That was 17 ye@rs ago. They’re married and seem very happy but he has encountered serious health problems. He sees our grandson often . I’m So glad I didn’t kill anyone because I’d be sitting in jail for the rest of my life . I had a few nice relationships but chose not to get married again . Our son took it hard and got involved in drugs . Extra-marital affairs cause much damage . And the affairs continue because the law allows it and there is no financial loss in the divorce , blaming the abandoned spouse as someone who failed in their job. It’s a twisted situation and I pray for anyone who endures it. My friends and family helped me recover. It took ’ about 18 months .
Happened to me to, after 34 yrs of THE Happiest Marriage, he left for a co-worker. Can't believe they're still together 3 yrs later. I'm still in shock. Recover? I'll never recover from this. He turned off his entire family like a water tap: no contact w/ siblings, cousins, his friends since kindergarten, nothing. Everyone in shock. I never knew that Mid-life crisis in males could cause such destruction. Give a male everything they ask for & want in life, they'll just find something different they want. My Successful, Hard Working & Happy Grown Sons are what keeps me going thru an unending nightmare of humiliation + the Corrupt NY Judges & Lawyers who profit from this SHAM called "family law".
You had the strength and enough about yourself to move on and find happiness. Unlike the woman in this case who was so weak and had such little about herself that she couldn't live without this guy and accept him being happy with someone else, couldn't move on and have a life of her own, to hell with their children. I can see why her husband cheated and wanted someone else.
In north carolina you can sue the other woman for alienation of affection
I was wed 38 years to a serial cheater. I suspected it for years. I finally divorced him at age 60. He told me before he passed on that he had had a woman problem almost since we wed. We stayed friends. I found out later he'd been seeing one of my friends for what was years most likey. I had a dream about it and then asked her and she said yes. Life goes on and I'll be 79 in two days. I never married again. I'm staying with my oldest daughter now. I believe in forgiveness but I can't forget always. God rest his soul.
@@HelenTudor-Douglas I am glad to hear that you have sons who are part of your life. Unfortunately no one can ever predict how life turns out. We can guess, hope , work hard but life can be unfair. Sometimes people meet other people and their mental state completely changes to the point that they aren't logical. I hope that you find peace in your heart and find meaningful ways to enjoy life.
He’s talking about it as if he’s telling a blockbuster movie storyline, not one tear, not the slightest sense of sadness. Two lives wasted over this sleezeball...
And he destroyed two families
This guy shouldn’t have been allowed to tell most of the story. He’s a good for nothing, self-centered man who ruined two marriages and takes no blame (even though he insincerely says he does). He actually says in the end how he doesn’t forgive his deceased wife for the murder, not her suicide-a woman he was married to for 24 yrs-but wrote a sweet goodbye letter to Meredith, a woman he barely knew. 😑 what a piece of garbage.
Hes retelling this story like its a charming fairystory where he is the prince & these women were just a side bar to his amazing life. He acts like hes being interviewed after producing his memoir. Totally inappropriate.
I completely agree with you!
@@user-wickedflower agree 🤮🤮
Yup- he's a Narcissist- he had a hard on just because she was young and successful- he is a scumbag and so was Meredith-
Bsangel - she’s a murderer and you blame him for the whole thing. Really? I’ve been cheated on do you think it would ever cross my mind to take a life. No. Just divorce him what’s so hard about it. He got to tell the story because he didn’t murder anyone. Got it
This guy is In love with himself. 🤮
True to both of your comments, Keara and Wray, very true.
Most hybrid men idolize themselves.
He's lazy, let's the women pick him & do all the work.
Nothing wrong with that
Big time!!!
“Baby oh baby what have you done?” He yells to the dead body of his wife. You were leaving your 24 year marriage for a younger woman you knew for 2 months. NOW your wife is your baby again? Actually he’s probably lying about saying that too.
66voldemort....that is what I thought. He was lying.
Something is really off about him.
Yeah, he's way too calm & emotionless about it all. Total robot. I honestly thought he'd end up being the killer when this started just by his demeanor. The two women he supposedly loved are dead violently with him as the centerpiece & a year later he's THIS detached from it? Yeah, psychopath.
How were you able to watch the rest of the show ? It stops after part 3
Marcia Young
The full episode is available on Hulu. That’s where I watched it.
This wasn’t his first indiscretion.....it’s written all over him!!! Now trying to profit via media and a book deal?? Sitting in front of the house where they both died!!! Opportunist....Judgement day will be harsh....
Very harsh.
He's a horrible person
Ok-I am confused. He is talking about his wife like he was madly in love with her. SMH!! He is just pissing me off
She was self centered but uzed her charm and wit to such an extent to get whatever she wanted. She could perceive as a princess. How could he resist the good qualities. She had it. He couldn't understand the consequences of being with someone like that. I think she could have been a closet narcissist doing well with proper support. Money. Too. They liked money. Who knows how they think. They werent very committed seriously. They were having fun like kids. Where were their thick sped glasses?
@@candysubstance1633 You call someone working at Taco Bell a princess?
@@davidyatesmckay Huh?
He loves her. Marriage is complicated. People make mistake but I believe that he loves his wife deeply.
If he loved her he wouldn't have had an affair behind her back and plan to leave her for his mistress. A one night stand can be classified as a mistake but a long term affair is no mistake (a mistake is something you do once not repeatedly).
He seems like a narcissist.
He attractive. I m more surprised that he didnt cheat Jennair until now.
@@OctPSfever hes quite average and even if he was good looking, you're implying it would be understandable if he cheated before this??? 👌
@@davidyatesmckay I disagree completely. Anyone can kill anyone. People who have very low impulse control is probably the #1 cause of murder. I'm quite certain you can push someone who doesn't have a personality disorder to kill. Many people have a threshold of what they're willing to endure without seeking revenge. The only thing that stops them is criminal penalty. Get them to the point where they don't care about criminal penalty and bam - you have a killer.
Wray Rae yes!! Thank you.
Bonzi Buddy I disagree. No matter what, I would never kill another human being. I will try to get revenge in different ways but not murder the person. She was obviously evil in her own way.
Lesson ladies -- don't mess with married men. It can be deadly.
cindy pattana Married or Unmarried, people are sick. Man and Woman need to know their worth and don’t look to someone else to make you WHOLE!!
So true. There is a book called The Muderer Next Door about this exact topic.
Nyamah Chernogod oh shut the hell up with your WHOLE BS!! Try being with a man most of your life and giving him everything as he does the same for you, only to have a slut take him away and live your life with him. When you are married, the two become ONE. That is what marriage symbolizes. If you don’t like it then you can stay WHOLE all by yourself!!
@@starstruckstar2597 MY X HUSBAND HAD A CHILD WITH MY COUSIN ( and yes I will stay by myself I like me
@@NBC09 YOUR EXACTLY RIGHT 😇
He killed them. He should have ended the relationship immediately his wife found out. He was selfish
DO YOU OWN A SUSHI BAR WHERE I CAN DRINK A SHOT OF AGUA
Anthony Osazuwa NO HE SHOULD NEVER OF CHEATED...HE SHOULD OF DIVORCED HER FIRST.....INSTEAD HE WANTED TO FXUCK AROUND...AND SEE IF IT WAS WORTH IT OR IF IT WOULD LAST....BEFORE LEAVING HIS WIFE......HE IS A SICKENING P. O.S just like ALL ADULTERERS AND CHEATERS....SELFISH, ENTITLED ,and ONLY CARE ABOUT THEIR OWN HAPPINESS AND FEELINGS.....,,
or he should have not had a physical relationship and got divorced when he figured out he was not into his wife
Yes and being coward is his personality. 1. he could not ask her wife to hang out first and waited for long time 2. could not say lets divorce right away even though he had chances.
@@ticos2082lol😂
Wow he spends 18 years with that woman you would think that he will show a little more emotion but he was cold as ice What a psychopath .😨
the psychopath is the murderer, not him. no wonder he left her.
@@canuckrs6973 Spoken like a true psychopath
@@canuckrs6973 Yeah I agree. There some seriously anti male people in this comment section. Would they feel the same way if the roles were reversed? No they would have every excuse imaginable. Disturbing really.
More than 18 years, 28 total. They started dating in 1990, married in 1993 till 2018.
@@canuckrs6973 No, the murderer wasn't a psychopath, because such persons have shallow emotions. She was deeply wounded by the betrayal and in a vm she left for her neighbor she did a "bad bad thing." Her journals and recordings are in a pod cast with that title.
After hearing this entire story, what woman would want to get involved with him? Ugh....
A lot of desperate ones, unfortunately
Plenty, unfortunately!
@@Rosary716 Desperate Idiots, that's who!
He didn’t deserve his wife !! She gave him all her life
Kevwe Tony really ? So you think that she took away his happiness ? He cheated on her, he lied to her , he traded her for a younger woman , he left her for a woman he just met . When he’s been married to her for 24 years been with him since she was 16 years old . Of course she wasn’t going to let him go ! She should have not kill the other woman I agree with that but , that lady new he was married and so was she ! The only bastard in this story is her husband He’s a total POS !
What's wrong with having fun and keeping your marriage alive.. what a creep..
Maribella Rami Kevwe Tony ignore this guy! He goes around arguing with people for the sake of arguing. Don’t waste your time!!
They all deserved each other
Many woman have been cheated on, so have many men, it does not justify murder. She was crazy to do what she did. I think he would of been better off not meeting either one of them.
Guy shows no grief.So in love with himself
Yep. If there was justice in the world he'd be dead and she would have gone off into the sunset with everything.
ESH. Mark should have been honest from the beginning. Meredith shouldn't have pursued a married man, and Jennair should not have.... killed someone.
Meredith is less at fault. He's the married man who didn't do the adult thing and end the relationship on good terms.
NeoGeo12 if your married or even in a committed relationship you should not persue anyone but at the same time if you know someone is married or in a committed relationship you should not persue them.
Aniii x it's not just men women do it too, he was wrong but at the same time you should not entertain a married person men or women.
*+NeoGeo12* No Meredith was a skank too and from what I understand she was married herself.
Meredith was married also.
Mark Gerardot strikes me as being a "face man", all flash and little substance. He cannot seem to process that it was his adultery that set this in motion. He essentially traded Jennair in for a younger woman.
He is a textbook narcissist.
Sort of like Betty Broderick ' husband, he should have been murdered too.
@Kay Tee Still, she didn't have to KILL the other woman. Plenty of us have gone through cheating and divorce, but we don't kill anybody!
@Chipmonk That still DOESN'T justify her killing the other woman! She should've left and moved on. Many of us have been there- you don't kill.
@@lioness7582 No, he shouldn't have! Having an affair does not justify killing someone.
This guy is so full of himself. It's hard to stomach listening to him
Dear ABC we don't need the background music. Makes it really disrespectful and like its straight up entertainment. People have died.
@M Detlef eff off weirdo
@M Detlef LMFAO!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Still entertainment, dead people are still dead, music or not. Use subtitles and put YOUR ENTERTAINMENT on mute.
It's a cool song at the beginning, it sounds like Dido
The wife should have just said "Ok." Got an attorney, moved, started a new life of rejuvenation without such a selfish jerk in her daily life. She would have gotten clarity and the narc would have lost his 'audience' (her), while she thanked the stars above for the blessing in disguise. His side chick was as wicked as him. The wife needed someone (family/friend) to take her out of the vicinity so she could have clarity.
The scumbags getting their jollies off of betraying her deserved each other!
I’d love to see you just saying OK after your husband betrayed you like that
He’s says it like he’s the star of a play, ....

I know eg! Gagonk head
The Betty Broderick saga on speed. Unlike Broderick whose deterioration from jilted wife to enraged killer took years, Jennair went from loving spouse to suicidal-killer from 0 to 100 in a flash. Undoubtedly, her trying to be party to every intimate detail of her husband's affair accelerated everything. I have a great deal of sympathy for Jennair up until she pulled the trigger. Having your entire life turned upside because of the selfishness and immaturity of someone you viewed as your closest friend and the love of your life. That's brutal. Still, Jennair's obsession to listen in on her husband trading her in for a younger model was a bad path to go down on. Without children or a career and alone in a new area, Jennair had little to occupy her mind or time when her husband blew-up her life. It led her to a very dark place.
Dont start this series..they dont give you the ending..ABC sucks!

Agreed
The man has an affair with the younger woman. His wife founds out and murders the woman and commits suicide :(
There's a link in description for full episode
It's on the app. I don't know why they don't say that...
I hate to say it, but Mark’s great “new romance” was nothing but a cliche. He’s a middle aged dude who fell for a woman nearly young enough to be his daughter. Worse, he treated his wife like an old pair of shoes to be discarded once he found a new, trendier version. His selfishness ruined so many people’s lives. Thankfully they had no kids that would be forced to live with this. He might have emerged from this blameless in the eyes of the law, but he certainly is no victim.
When he interviewed in Denver and something told him not to take the job - that something was his “little” head. He knew better and now two talented women are dead.
Wray Rae NEVER, EVER. If I were that miserable I would end my own life and leave everyone else alive & well.
I got pulled into the middle of an extremely nasty custody dispute that played out over several years. It also got quite personal.
Another client actually asked me if I was interested in having the problem parent “taken out.” I couldn’t believe my ears. The whole point of the dispute was the welfare of those kids. Having one of their parents killed was going to help those kids how?
When I thought about it later I realized that it could very well have been a set up.
Anyway, as I get older I find myself less & less able to understand how some people think.
She wasn't young enough to be his daughter do the math. She was just younger
Meredith is just as much to blame. She was married, too, and old enough to know better.
@@emilymayer5500 Sometimes married people look for other married people so they don't go too far....Feeling they both have something to loose they tend to not expect more than what it is...An affair.
Unless you have walked a mile in Jennairs shoes, you'll never understand what she went through. My sympathy goes to her. Mark on the other hand, can go to hell.
What the Hell ever. If it were She that wanted out and fell in love all the Women would be calling him controlling and possessive. Give me a break. Women initiate breakups 80 percent of the time. It happens. You move on. Life is hard sometimes. You don't MURDER someone . Give me A break. You can go to Hell is more like it
@@joshuaclayton6907 - But it wasn't her, was it? Yours is a typical male response/excuse, and as evidenced in this particular case, what caused all the mayhem.
@@elmhaven Women instigate divorce 80 percent of the time and take the house, kids and half the money. She was so pathetically insecure and frightened of losing him that not once in 24 years did She compliment him positively. Wow. She was Trying to keep him down and make him doubt himself so he wouldn't leave her. That's Abuse. Anyone on the planet that would have recording devices planted on me 24/7 deserves to get dumped on her ass. I literally have zero empathy for her whatsoever. Literally none. She's A wicked Woman. She pushed him away with her controlling bullshit then She definitely lost her looks too. Like he said not once in 24 years did She ever admit that She was wrong about anything. That tells me She's STUCK as A person and was trying to keep him stuck and miserable too. Only miserable people aren't happy for someone else's success. This breakup would have been the best thing that ever happened to Her but instead like the malicious Winch that She Is, She murdered Meredith.
Bitterness isn't the answer. Doing what they did is extremely selfish and disgusting but how can you defend a murderer?
@@MsBombastix Go back a read my comment again. I said I understood it, nowhere did I defend it.

@@anitaknight3915 yes where is part 2?
I found out my husband at the time was exchanging texts with a co worker, and with another co worker. I confronted him about it and he denied it all. Two months later I decided I had enough and told him I was done. Two months after that he got an STD after a trip to Vegas. I’ve been officially divorced for three months now. It’s been the hardest thing I’ve had to go through but the easiest decision I ever made.
Good form you! I’m impressed you made the swift decision to end a toxic marriage.
I think you’re brave. Keep your head up and live your own life.
Meredith Chapman had a tall, handsome, successful, and supportive husband. That wasn't good enough for her. She still cheated on him with a lesser man. I don't think Mark would have lasted very long. As soon as another man showed her attention, she would have traded him in. Too bad Jennair didn't just let karma happen on its own.
He was looking for an affair, he gives off bad vibes.
It's the hurt, the pain, the sadness, the anger...you can't control when you find the person you shared half your life with and find them in bed with another person. It crashes your heart from the inside out and sadly it causes tragedy for others.
My heart bleeds for Jennair. She didn’t deserve that betrayal
Why? She didn't love her husband. She took so much time and energy on DESTROYING him! I bet if a wealthy guy had shown up on her door step she wouldn't have thought twice on leaving her husband, she was sooo concerned about her finances Her husband didn't know that he was in an stagnant relationship until he met Meredith. Jennair didnt work on getting her relationship back on track, HE DID. Instead from the get go she used her time and energy on planning how to destroy him. She was a conniving woman that didn't like to loose, they mentioned in the video that she ALWAYS had to get the last word, and look she did until the end! I wish for him to find happiness , Mark deserves it. I truly wish him well.
Wray Rae had her husband not committed adultery, she wouldn’t have killed anyone. Thanks

@@keyake11 I actually PAID ATTENTION to the video, what she wrote, her actions, what people said about her and their marriage. So simple to my brain to get the kind of human being that she was.

@@keyake11 Wow, the population of the world would be waaaay lower if every human being that had a fling or cheated would be killed.

BEFORE YOU BECOME A MOTH YOU HAVE TO BECOME A BUTTERFLY
He didn't murder anyone, murdering over someone cheatings shows that you are a crazy nut. Being married and having sex with a married man shows that you are trash. You put absolutely no blame on either of those women.
Because he is man so it’s acceptable in society
"They grew up together and matured together"
Yeah, I don't think he did. Committing adultery despite being married for 18 years!
They were married for 24 1/2 years.
I feel sorry for his wife, she did nothing wrong and still she had her heart ripped out, women are sensitive, I can picture her crying on her bed questioning herself even though she was not the problem,
Like me. Suicidal. Dehumanized. Have become recluse. Everyone is so concerned about me. I don't see why, must be something wrong with me. He lied said he was happy, that i was perfect. But if that were true...... he wouldn't have.
@@WillBlindYouWithLight I'm so very sorry. I hope you are ok
He really gives me the creeps.
This guy should have NEVER gotten into a relationship outside of his marriage in the first place. He should have recognized he was no longer happy in his life as a married man and ended it with as much respect as possible. No other woman should’ve been involved. Imagine the outcome if he would’ve went about it that way instead of months of lies, manipulation, and deceit.
I found out about my husband's affair with his married coworker while I was on my family vacation. I had zero clue it had been going on. Business trips, travel, "late" at work or "helping my dad." Nope. An affair.
I thought that was Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka, in the thumbnail.

His wife and mistress are both dead. But yet he’s alive, living, and able to still live his life without anyone bothering him.
And happy to retell the story....this is sooooooo gross.
And he wrote a book
He's a malignant narcissist. Plain and simple.
The way he talks about both of them, this guy is disgusting. Living a double life loving them both. They both deserved better
No the wife deserved better! I don't care about Meredith-
The most dangerous place you can insert yourself is in someone else's marriage. Meridith wanted this woman's husband and she got him plus everything that came along with him...including a batshit crazy wife.

Why is all the blame on the wife? Not on the people who cheated
The husband left his wife, because he met a younger woman, with a successful career. He is a narcissist, who is all about power, prestige, status and wealth. It seems as if, these days all men focus on is what a woman does for work. This is what the 🌎 world and relationship have boiled down to? This 🌎 world! Oh dear! 🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂. Cheers mates!
True!!
I don’t blame her you don’t cheat a woman, you just don’t. He thought he was smart that everyone else he just sorry for realizing later that he wasn’t. I hate cheaters...
This comment section is the exact opposite of comment sections where an emotionally unstable man killed his cheating wife and all the women there say that she isn't at fault for cheating and he could just leave instead of killing whereas it's the opposite here and everyone blames the guy still.
Ironic
That man is a narcissist
When Narcissists Collide...
I get how this could have happened!!! Took the prime years of Jenair, trading in for younger woman in her prime!! Terrifying for the one abandoned.
I’ve watched this episode twice but even the first time I saw this, he sure kept throwing his wife under the bus. Like he forgot why his wife was so upset and losing her mind. He betrayed her from the moment he had lust for the other woman and it wasn’t the other woman’s fault either. It was his own doing and because he started an affair and told his wife he’s in love with another woman, is deeper than a heartbreak. It’s your soulmate leaving your side that has been by you always. You don’t see it coming and it can shock the life out of someone who never thought in a million years, the love of your life stopped having love for you. He is that guy who traded his wife for a younger woman. If he already did stop loving her before he met the other woman, he should have respected his wife and waited till after their divorce instead of making his wife know he’s already moved on and is in love with someone else. That’s a huge slap in the face for anyone to do that to their spouse or in any kind of relationship. Some people just can’t be alone and start a new relationship with someone else before the furniture is split, and the ink is dry. He seem to make it all his wife’s fault and still made her look bad after her death. He only regretted after she was dead and looked like a victim, “I’ll be ok, I’m coping each day, I feel bad, I should have or haven’t…” all kinds of “poor me” attitude about him. His wife and his new girlfriend didn’t deserve it. He walked both of them right his drama and looked what happened. Very sad all around.
He belongs in prison. It's his fault. He took a vow. She took a vow. The mistress took a vow, and so did her (husband... The only one I feel bad for.
When it comes to marriage, cheating should carry a life sentence.
Marriage... official or ceremonial?
The government should not be involved. 😔
Karma, moral of the story is dont cheat!
I saw this escalating from a mile away. It's sad the man lacked such situational awareness for those he cared about the most.
I think it turned out pretty well for those he cared about the most... AKA: himself

Seriously the biggest creep I have ever seen. Why is he even writing a book because everyone is going to absolutely always hate him.
Nah, he'll attract a "certain" type of woman. He's definitely a narcissist and most likely a sociopath. A woman with a poor sense of identity that loves being manipulated will be in his arms before you can blink. Very Sad.
Gosh these 20/20 specials are so addicting as I’m cramming for a work thing
Poor Jennair!! Clearly, the profound betrayal from the man that she committed her life to for 26 years completely made her lose her sanity. I HATE cheaters, they destroy so many lives because of their selfishness. Disgusting the way society is so flippant about cheating and divorce nowadays. Quality people mean their wedding vows and hold it as something deeply sacred. The level of pain and despair this woman must have been feeling to drive a normal woman to murder a home wrecker and take her own life? Soul shattering.
@@davidyatesmckay I'm not condoning murder whatsoever. My point was that a normal, stable woman could commit such a heinous crime of passion is a direct example of how infidelity can devastate someone to the brink of insanity. Is often taken so lightly in today's society and victims of affairs are told to just accept it and get over it. Some people truly mean their wedding vows on a deeper level than others, so it affects people differently.
You’d probably kill someone over jealousy…. You’re defending murder. Yikes. Not a cute look.

Lol
Prob bc that man stressed her
Maritza Piccarillo 🤣🤣🤣 never heard that one. Interesting.
Don't all white women.
@@lndingalle9605 No they don't lmao.
It’s so crazy seeing this because I worked with Jennair in South Carolina a year before this happened. She seemed so nice and normal 🙀 she worked there for almost 2 months and she had to leave because her husband was making her leave to move
Oh wow 😳
When you think you know someone!
Wow she could’ve kept her job and lived in South Carolina, get a divorce and Move on!
So sad 😭
@@cr8zystar282 Her husband gaslighted her and denied his relationship with Meredith. Then said he wanted to go to marriage counseling because he wasn't sure it would work with Meredith-after Jennair found out by bugging them.
She likely was normal and nice until her husband cheated on her. She went over the edge. Extreme stress brings out the worst in people.
They both deceived their spouses. Even worst, when his wife of 30 plus years needed his support morally and perhaps financially. These two deserve each other. The day they both suffer their own karma is the day they both made for themselves.
It’s not fair talking about Jennair when she’s not here to defend herself.
There are two big no-no’s in life #1 is murder and #2 is taking another woman’s man. If you break rule #2, then be ready for rule # 1 to be broken as well. Hell have no fury like a woman scorned. #mistressfreezone
Or taking another guys girl. Men are pretty brutal when crossed too.
Aaaaand she’s dead. So being scorned worked out well for her, huh? Lmao Mark will go on to have another (probably healthy) relationship meanwhile Jennair is dead in the ground bc she didn’t have self love to know she was enough on her own. Smh
@@worldtravelerforever Assholes
like Mark aren't capable
of healthy relationships.
A woman can't "take" a man who doesn't want to be taken.
Haven’t have I watched this already ?
When he said “I have to work for this person” it came back to me.
I feel bad for this lady. I wish she would’ve had support to help her get through this. She wouldn’t have gone this far.
Diana I do too. No matter how many people said she’s a psycho for doing what she did, still I truly feel sorry and sad for her. She gave her husband her youth and beauty only to have him traded her in for a younger version.
I know all too well the pain of infidelity I know it doesn't give anyone the right to kill another but I know the deep unbearable pain you go thru can put thoughts like that in your head and for a brief moment you actually feel some relief. Unfortunately this "man" handled EVERYTHING wrong. It's obvious he didn't have it in him to be with someone who was struggling professionally. He wanted to be rid of his wife and she was not given the time to take it in. What many women gave difficulty with is finding out the man did not love them as we loved them and are able to so cold heartedly toss us out in a way we never could do to them.
Gone Girl easily and eerily comes to mind. Educated couple both good looking, both career-oriented and both wealthy.
But behind the perfect veneer they had, there was a lot of darkness, hardships, manipulation, sorrow and the facade cracked to reveal their flaws to a deadly extent.
Fiction overpowered reality.
Money was always a problem. I bet they had more money than I will ever see in my lifetime and I work my butt off at 53. People never have enough money no matter how much they have.
It's uncanny how much this woman, Jennair, resembles Sigourney Weaver. (I'm also wondering why she was named after luxury kitchen appliances. I can't get that out of my head.) When the voicemail (or taped recording) of her speaking to her husband is played, it's sad to hear how much pain she was in, and how alone she felt.
People who have affairs are so selfish! They hurt so many people. I'd be interested in hearing from Meredith's husband. I wish that he would speak out. I wonder what Mark's motivation is in doing this - catharsis/ remorse, trying to reach those that will no longer speak to him, or just the financial incentive from prime time interviews, book deal offers, and the possibility of selling film rights.
I CAN HEAR A CROW IN MY CLOSET WHISPERING TO ME "LETS ORDER A PIZZA"
If someone cheats on you, they are the one in the wrong, they lack loyalty, commitment and bare human decency, and morals. It’s not your fault. The best thing to do is leave that person and let them continue their life, most likely they will continue to cheat on those that they’re with, but that shouldn’t keep you up at night. Karma will work on them. Trust God to lead your footsteps. The hardest thing to do is leave, but it’ll all work out; it’s necessary and worth it.
it’s so easy to say she could’ve just left and whatnot because that’s how your other people is wired, but some people coudn’t handle the pain of betrayal and the pain itself. And this guy is an a-hole.
He said we talked about having a family but there was really no plan. What little we know of Jennair does it seem like she wouldn't have a plan if indeed both of them wanted a family. I have a feeling he didn't want to have kids.
You have to be an absolute loser to have an affair. If you’ll betray your other half then you’ll betray anyone. People are disgusting.
Says a lot about who has been grieving when mark enjoys the media attention and the husband of chapman is just dead silent
The quiet shy ones that turn out bad.
When you jump into an already established marriage, you don't know which part you will end up with because the marriage was meant for 2. So Meredith got the "til death do us part, part. But she got her wish to be part of someone's marriage.
What is the song on the opening of this episode? I've looked everywhere and can't find anything about it! Please help
Jenni Monhollen I cant find it either!
Damn. I was a sophomore at UD at this time. Never heard about this.. crazy stuff.
My ‘BFF’ from the time I was 17 years old was a couple. They were together almost 40 years, I was with her up until she died. I was the only one she wanted around her (female-wise.) Loyalty means something. If you can look in the mirror after you’ve messed with a married human being (no matter what comes from their end) you need therapy.
Why did they make the wife out to be crazy? She was depressed! It was his fault! She should have got him! There is no way it was her fault. And, what is wrong with putting devices in his clothes if you think he is cheating. I think she was very smart, except for not taking him. Now, he will write a book, make a movie about it and live on. Sad!!!!
Stop depending on others to create your happiness ' They can only add to your joy in life
They should never be your life because you will end up living their life instead of having a life of your own that they can share with you.
I wish she would have known just how much she could have experienced joy without him
God rest her soul .
Mary Lee Huh? It was a 20 year marriage, of course you’re going to be bonded. She was betrayed. I have no idea what you’re even talking about.
Oh shut your stupid mouth!! I hate comments like yours!! Go back to your basement with your cat.
@@3saphires1garnet15
She made his happiness her world instead of finding happiness from within first , You make your own happiness others can only add to it .
LET'S ALL DANCE, SHIIIT NIGGAS
Starstruck 15 your comment wasn’t necessary . I find it offensive .
Get a divorce FIRST if you need to change partners. If you have wondering eyes while your still married, get a marriage counselor -
"Wow she's so articulate i got to work for this person"....um thats the translation of "shes pretty and young I want to date her" who ever says that line of being articulate and working for this person it's usually the person who is hiring will say they want that person to work for them. Odd.
In all fairness I'd probably think something like that ...but I recognize how odd that is and in conjunction with his other odd behaviors I totally agree with you
HOW can he even show his face rt now?
Maybe we need to start making cheating illegal and this kind of thing wouldn't happen. Men cheat, even though it causes so much damage. Women have no recourse because it's not illegal, but then they get arrested for keying his car.
FLdancer00 Meh, rape is illegal and they still do it. As if laws ever stopped it.
This man is going to write a book if he hasn’t already
@Zoozooshi Crazy I wasn't suggesting it to curb crime but thanks for the sarcasm.
I suggested so at least women would have a legal recourse to get justice vs. shooting and killing the other woman.
Women cheat as well .... just as this story also showed .
In India adultery was illegal now they have changed it 🙄it really must be illegal
Instead of part 2 they starting from scratch.
I can't find the end, did you see it?
@@fiercest_calm no they only went to part 3 but someone left a link in the comment section of part 3 I'm going to check it out now
@@marissabones Thanks!
Is it bad that I sympathize more with the killer
The husband and the mistress, are responsible for the sad end.
So many women get cheated on, most don't murder. It's not normal. The husband it mostly to blame for the situation because he broke a promise but the ultimate end is a result of the wife. We should be stable enough to handle heartbreak without killing. It's not normal or remotely acceptable.
Jammzy I’m disturbed by the amount of people who are forgetting that Jennair MURDERED the side chick... cheating is wrong and the situation was born from cheating but DAMN. Cheating and MURDER are not on the same level! Last time I checked we don’t sentence people to death for cheating in this country! I feel bad for the wife but damn unless you’re defending yourself or someone else there is NEVER a good reason to KILL someone!
@@Alexandra_K_ I know...it's insane but I don't think most of them mean it and those that do have probably been cheated on. I know people and have who have been the side piece. I don't approve but if they were killed, I would be sad...I think that's normal...lol
EVERYONE are responsible for their own actions. Relationships are complicated. Sometimes he's a shithead, sometimes she is. Move on with your lives.
@@davidyatesmckay I Maybe if they were in the situation they would have common sense. If their friend or family member was the victim/mistress, they wouldn't feel the same way. It's almost as if they don't understand the seriousness or finality of death. The wife was not justified in killing her but I can understand her wanting her dead. I can't understand these strangers wanting her dead. ...
I wish people could end their marriages 1st before getting involved in a relationship. Go to counseling and give your marriage a shot. Before you replace your mate with a newer model. Put yourself in the mates shoes how would you feel if instead of you finding a prettier, younger mate, but she or he did. Would you still be ok, with that choice? Because I promise you, you will still have problems. Trading out your mate for a younger model does not make problems go away.
Does anyone know the name of the first song playing? Or who sings it.
ABC, thank you for the videos. Would you please share the opinions on the format, ie, how the commentator looks at someone else, etc.
Song - dangerous light by becky shaheen
Jovanni Vasquez thank you. I was wondering
Danke😊
Me too
Thank you
I came here JUST FOR THE NAME OF THE SONG!! THANNNK YOOOU!!
Does anyone know the song or artist playing at the beginning of this episode? It’s hauntingly beautiful.
Dangerous Light by Becky Shaheen
@@peeweesmellyrat thanks that's what I came her for too 😅
Something no one else thinks about is children born from affairs. I watched a documentary on it, and it sucks. People dont think about anyone, including the lives they bring into this world.
What was the documentary called?
We have a term for this kind of guy in my country “greasy man”
You broke her, dude.
So, her parents named her after a brand of kitchen appliances?
Anyone knows the name of song at the start?
what is this song; waiting in the wings, whispering pretty things, had a hold of his heart
Yeah let’s fire the abc news you tube uploader, hire someone who can count. Part I, followed by part II, followed by part III..
It's on their app and website. I don't know y they don't say that. They always do it this way
Roxanna Zales , is there a part 4 ?? What happened who dies?
@@102create it's on the app, I watched the whole thing. Go to the website or get the app and search "the affair." The wife kills the mistress and herself.
sorry feminism but you cant just keep getting ppl fired
LOOK WENCH, YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL ONLY FROM THAT ANGLE
Selfish Petty Man hurt his wife to no end... He's Major Responsible for the terrible conclusions!
Mark Gerardot you make people Sickkkk, each time I listen the song in the background I remember Jennair & her suffering, If I was in your place I would not agree to appear in any video & would put my face in the toilette have some "Manly Dignity"
Does anyone know what song is playing at 1:30?? The song is so fitting
