Just finished reading The Bell Jar - I hate Ted Hughes
I just finished reading the bell jar and went down a rabbit hole because I wanted to find out what happened in Plath's life, I knew about her death through popular culture but in an effort to know more, I found out that this man called Ted Hughes:
- Cheated on Sylvia with a married woman
- Hit her and caused her miscarriage (as she wrote in her letters to her therapist)
- Abandoned their two kids and left Sylvia alone in London to pursue this married woman
- Tried to blame the anti-depressants prescribed by Sylvia's doctor to remove blame from himself for her death
- Didn't even marry the woman he cheated on Sylvia with, had a child with her, moved her to the house he bought WITH SYLVIA, where this new woman used HER things
- Treated the new woman like a housekeeper, and surprise surprise, CHEATED ON HER TWICE, once with a married woman and once with a nurse 20 years younger than him
- This new woman also k worded herself and her 4-year old kid with Hughes as she was unhappy of the way he treated her and refused to marry her.
- His son with Sylvia, also k worded himself.
I'm sorry, but I genuinely despise this philandering, evil, demon of a man. The amount of pain and violence he unleashed on the ecosystem around him is enraging me. I hope he is currently burning in hell. Apologies if I come across as too emotional, but this triggered me. He was an awful human being.
