“He really liked how she looked in her Taco Bell uniform”- I’m sorry but 😂

merediths ex husband is just over here like 👀👀damn

I always advice women who get cheated on to remember Shania Twain. Her husband of 15 years cheated with Shania's best friend, and wanted to split up to start a relationship with her. Shania was devastated, and at one point begged her husband not to leave her. But he did and moved on with his mistress. What happened? Shortly after the divorce, Shania met this sexy Swiss-French hunk (a MAJOR upgrade from her ex) and they live together in paradise. The lesson here is if your husband wants to leave, let him. The sooner he leaves, the sooner you'll find your Swiss-French dreamboat.

Mark has become an advocate for mental health. Isn't that nice? Maybe he should become an advocate for not being a jerk, and sleeping around when you're married.

Jenair put all this effort into keeping a man who didn’t even want her. Ladies, it’s never worth it.

Girl you can’t fulfill everyone’s requests about a chair, lighting, all that. You could make videos in a box and I’m sure we’ll all listen

If he wants to leave, let him go. After my husband left I was in agony. My father had always been my rock and two years after my husband had left, my father died suddenly. My last conversation with my father was me still crying over my ex-husband. I realized I had spent two years surrounded by people who loved me, focused only on someone that didn’t. I learned not to waste our precious time on those who don’t love us. Just let that person go, let yourself grieve, and then let yourself heal.

My husband did the same thing to me. We married in college and after he was commissioned into the Air Force and became a fighter pilot, he changed drastically. He said I didn’t praise him enough, and that this person did. We were living overseas when he told me he had already begun divorce proceedings and I had to take my daughters and leave Germany immediately. I was devastated!! I went to talk to someone at the mental health clinic on base. I remember the doctor asked me if I was suicidal or homicidal and I told him that no man is worth going to jail or losing my life for.

Eurgh. He wrote a book. The only thing men have is the audacity.

That neighbor looked a little too excited to be interviewed for the news about a murder case.😂

My dad had an affair and left my mom after 25 years of marriage for a woman twenty years younger than him. He also would have my mom come over to "talk about things". She full-on thought that things would work out. I have zero sympathy for Mark. Watching my mom go through what my dad put her through was a nightmare. Anyone that can do that to someone they "love"...truly horrible people.

I hate that they call her “jealous “ no she was betrayed and heartbroken backstabbed …. She wasn’t jealous . Her whole life was destroyed . Mark deserves nothing . Jen and mark destroyed all their lives.

Mark didn’t have to cheat on his wife. Meredith didn’t have to start an affair with a married man. Janaire certainly didn’t have to kill Meredith. Humans make dumbass decisions every day

She must of been driving herself crazy listening to his recordings every night and having no one to talk to about it all...

If Jennair decided to kill someone, I'm not sure why her cheating husband wasn't number one on her list. Her killing the mistress and herself but leaving him alive is just bizarre.

Love that he couldn't be bothered to write a note for the wife he betrayed after her suicide but wrote one for his mistress.

can we just appreciate that kendall bought a whole chair for the background so we can see her pets 🥺

The best revenge you can give a mistress is to let her have him.

He cared so much about his wife's mental health that he had an affair while dragging her to another state, isolating her from everyone she knew, instead of talking to her and figuring things out like adults 🙄🙄🙄

This is hands down one of my biggest fears.... To be married and loyal to a man for 25 years and then once I am in my 50s he gets with someone half my age, and someone who could be our kids age pretty much. My dad did this to my mom... :/ & he abandoned me and my bro to live the lifestyle of a 20 something yr old... god I think about it all the time and I almost don't even want to date because I am so scared of that because I feel like I would lose my shit as well.

I'm just glad they were smart enough to not have children.. I can't imagine how this would have turned out with children in the middle

Imagine the sleep she was losing while she was messing with all those recordings. She truly went insane.

I’m not justifying murder by any means, but Mark and Meredith were clearly horrible people. Cheating is disgusting and really hurts and damages lives. Mark doing everything he did was disgusting and Meredith willingly getting with a married man WHILE also married omg 🙄

I wonder how Meredith’s ex husband felt when he first learned his ex wife was killed by the wife of the man she was having an affair with…..that’s pretty deep

I can’t imagine moving to a new place and not have a support system. Just to have your husband cheat on you and move on. That has to mess with your psyche

The weirdest thing about this is someone being turned on by a Taco Bell uniform

I never thought I’d hear of two people SO unlikeable that I’m siding with the killer. Wow.

I went through a divorce after my ex’s infidelity. We were married for 28 years, so it was very mentally taxing. It was one of the hardest things I’ve ever been through. I have never had mental health issues, but for 2-3 weeks after finding out about the infidelity I was on the brink of a mental breakdown. One of the contributing factors was lack of sleep. I hardly sleep for almost 3 weeks. I said things to him I’m not proud of. After starting medication to help sleep, I was better the next day. I think lack of sleep was probably one of her biggest issues. 😢

It's a shame that she couldn't transfer her pain into becoming a private investigator. She would have been great at that.

When Kendall is over 30 minutes!!😍❤️

My husband cheated on me. I did everything what Jenair did. From recording phone calls, confronting the mistress, confronting him. How he slapped me to go away as he didn't love me anymore. How the mistress told me not to bother her or them. How I thought I'd flash their story in social media. How I'd slap her in public, etc. But at the end, I left him. I didn't do anything to them. I didn't ask for alimony from husband. Now m happy on my own. I focus on myself how to improve myself. How to be more happy. I hvnt forgiven them but I want to be good myself. I don't care what they are upto now. M in peace now. 🙏

as someone who has been cheated on (and not murdered) i can honestly say the people saying they drove her to murder are crazy. she had the ability to let go and walk away and she chose to kill. they are all horrible people.

GIRL! Mark should not profit off these women and this tragedy. He’s so twisted

This seems like the plot of a Lifetime movie.

If Meredith’s neighbors claimed to have seen some strange and unfamiliar woman stalking her house wearing a trench coat, glasses, and wig, why did they not give Meredith the heads up? Or the police? It’s supposed to be a really, really nice area, I’m sure the crime rate is super low. Why did they not make anyone aware of this? Weird.

By him saying he can’t forgive Jen for what she did to Meredith shows that sadly he loved his mistress more than his wife of over 20 years. This makes me really sad for Jen and makes me empathetic towards how she felt when she killed Meredith. He really did make her do it.

The lesson my grandma taught me as a young girl: "Make sure another woman's tears are never on your shoulders"...according to her, nothing good can happen after that.

Mark was an ass for dragging her along to another state knowing he wanted to get to know Meredith better and losing interest in his wife. He should have broken it off while she was still in SC. Never right to kill someone but I can't imagine giving someone 20+ years to be thrown away like that. I'd go crazy too.

I’ve been cheated on and I can completely understand the feeling of being cheated on and losing what you feel is your life. I know what it feels like to have that much loathing for another woman so I can understand Jennair’s feelings, but it’s not right by any means

Mark was so selfish for letting his wife relocate to be with him, when he had clearly started an affair and had 2nd thoughts about their marriage. That was so conceited. She was alone, isolated from friends and the one person she trusted betrayed her.

Words to live by: Never, EVER, get involved with a married man. For probably five million very good reasons.

Meredith’s eyebrows are throwing me off

I tried to read his book, got half way through and wanted to throw it across the room. He's a narcissist. Really tried to play the victim role. Disgusting.

Jenair should have channeled her bad behavior into a career as a private investigator. 🙄

Ew I cannot stand when old men tell underage/super young girls that they are “so mature for their age” 🤢

Damn why can’t people just learn to divorce and move on instead of cheating. The cheater always gets caught eventually and it never ends well.

ALWAYS end one relationship before starting another.

This is such a sad story. The husband showed zero restraint and set zero boundaries with that younger women. He was completely selfish. He lied to his wife and showed total disrespect. Women who are being lied to and betrayed like this get obsessed with finding out the truth and get very vindictive. I’ve always thought there should be a hotel for women to go to when faced with situations like this. A place that provides emotional support. A place to protect them from themselves, just to let time pass away from the toxic situation. I would probably go crazy if my husband did the same to me and would probably need to fly to CA to be with my family and grieve with them.

Meredith's eyebrow are criminal.

The fact that they were living together and he was ''spending quality time'' with Jenaire right up until the end of his divorce, and that she got so upset about that condom leaves room to assume he was in an intimate relationship with both women at the same time and may not have been honest with them both. We only know his side of the story and I think there is more to it. All three made bad decisions.

it's amazing how the victim is portrayed so perfect...people don't understand just how it affects you until it happens to you...I choose to walk away and never look back.

Moral of the story is: WOMEN-- DONT GET WITH A MARRIED MAN!!!! Pretty simple 🤷🏻‍♀️

Trying hard to find sympathy for anyone in this case. Why any woman would think being with a cheater is some kind of prize is beyond me. These men ain't shit, ladies. Always remember that.

Jenere should have let her have Mark. That’s the worse things she could’ve done to her. He would have eventually cheated on her too.

Him becoming an advocate for mental health is a joke. Both women deserved better and I hope the families can heal . ❤

Some of my biggest takeaways from allll the true crime I’ve consumed over the years - you are risking your life if you cheat on your partner, have a relationship with a married person, or if you tell your partner you will take away their kids or ruin them financially if they leave you. It’s never worth it. Do things the right way if you want to live. 😅

mark seems like the kind of guy that would kiss himself in the mirror

Merediths ex was just chilling and should be a reminder to ya'll that if someone doesn't want you...MOVE ON

Honestly...It's really a shame she decided to kill Meredith and then herself..She really could have been quite the successful private investigator. You really have to admire her tenacity in all this. The lengths she went to uncover the truth without Mark knowing exactly how deeply she was digging is astonishing. Such a huge shame she didnt recognize her potential and what opportunities could have awaited her and this divorce as a blessing rather than the end of the world event. I definitely have sympathy for her. To many people end up dead because of affairs and love triangles...People really need to stop and think before playing with the feelings of others. Murder is never the answer...But there really needs to be accountability here for the ones doing the cheating.

My husband left me after nearly 30 years together for a younger woman😭 But it never occurred to me, to hurt either one of them!!!!!! I just don’t understand how you could do what she did. Yes I was angry, yes I was hurt, but to hurt one of them, no, not my style!!!

Jennair really worked harder than the FBI 👀

Never an excuse for murder. He is a scumbug. She was a homewrecker. All three of those facts can be true.

This is so sad. It's easy to see how you would lose your mind obsessing over two people's movements 24/7, especially when it's two people whose relationship is actively hurting you. I feel so bad for her - Mark played with her head and while I can't excuse murder, I can definitely sympathize with how much her mental health spiraled.

Ignorance is bliss. She found out too much about the affair. Hearing those conversations and seeing photos and seeing so much of their relationship must have been devastating causing an obsession and so on…..

No romance is worth all this death and destruction. It’s obsession and ego, not love.

My mama always said never let a man tell you more than once that he doesn’t want you. What I won’t do is go crazy over a man!

this made me re-feel the feelings i had when my ex-fiancé was cheating on me and i was trying to convince myself it wouldn't happen again while also going through his stuff and not trusting a word he said. god i don't miss that relationship lol

For 2 years my husband worked toward getting hired by Philips Medical and finally landed the position We moved to New Mexico from California and were buying our first home with our 2 little ones. Within 6 months he left for a woman he'd met, nine months later she left him.

Moral of the story - don’t cheat! Even if it doesn’t end up in murder, it still destroys lives

Seriously.. why don't people just get a divorce or wait until they finish with one relationship?? I'm someone who was cheated on after 17 years of marriage... just finish it.. don't douple dip!!!

Listening to Kendall say “Skipping kids is sometimes really tempting” while she’s in the hospital having her baby right now a year later 😍

My first marriage ended because my ex husband cheated on me after almost 7 years and I was devastated but I’ve been remarried to my second husband for over 10 years and sometimes you just find even happier. Moral of the story don’t screw someone else’s partner.

honestly my worst fear is to have the love of your life find someone “better”

This is a horrible horrible situation! I'm just glad they didn't have children together...that would have been so much worst..

This is probably not a popular opinion and forgive me please, but I honestly do feel really bad for Jenaire. It doesn’t justify her actions in anyway but I can absolutely see why she was driven as mad as she was to do this. I hope Mark takes accountability for this bc it is literally 100% all due to his actions.

You are a great storyteller. Unlike similar programs, you give the story the front seat, without your ego intruding. Your voice is beautiful, well-modulated, and - this sounds strange, but your language usage is perfect. I have listened to several others with similar programs to whom I wrote below, "could you see a dialect coach?" or "get help with your verb conjugation." You are perfect and ready to roll. Good even-handed conclusions, letting the audience know when something is your opinion as opposed to straight facts. The best in the business as far as I can tell. In this case? I think and anyone in a committed marriage who sneaks around behind their partner's back is at fault right upfront. If he had come back from his trip and told her he felt something for this new person and they had gone to counseling then, he would be off the hook. Sewing recording devices into clothing is a bit bizarre, but not really any worse than going off on a trip alone and deciding you can "fall in love" et. al and then come home to your wife and say nothing. Keep up the good work.

I disagree with the notion of Jennair's thinking that "if I can't have him, nobody can." I think it was simply and more accurately "I won't be wronged."

Entire time, I was thinking "Alright, which one of them is going to die?" Definitely didn't see that coming!!

This story is honestly so sad. No man is worth that much of your time, love or life. If you find yourself sewing listening devices into your man’s clothes… it’s time to cut your losses and move on.

“Skipping kids is sometimes pretty tempting.” lol 😂 if ya know you know. Love you Kendall 💕😘

The best revenge is to let the other woman keep his cheating and he'll probably cheat on his new woman eventually

Now Mark is in love with his writing coach because he thought of a clever sentence, so she patted him on the head and said "Who's a good boy. Yeesss.. Who's my good boy"!? He's not very complicated..

A major takeaway from this is to love yourself just as much as you love your partner. I get it, homewreckers and cheaters are horrible people, but let him/her go if they wanna leave.

Jennair's obsession with recording Mark's conversations escalates because the behaviour centers in her brain are rewarded every night with more content. It becomes an addiction then obsession which she can't control anymore. The writing was on the wall when she had them fake a happy marriage in exchange for signing divorce papers. Her attempts for control escalated until death.

Do the case of Tamala Horsford next. She was a black woman at a sleepover with all white women and ended up dead.

As someone who has been cheated on before, I can understand how the wife ended up snapping. It starts with a suspicion. Then the snooping. And if you don't catch yourself, you can fall into a full on downward spiral into crazy town. I personally thought about utilizing the spyware, recording devices, etc. It makes you feel crazy, and that can certainly lead to snapping. Luckily, I made the decision to just walk away. If they are cheating, it isn't worth your time, energy, freedom, or life. Now I am of the mindset that if I feel the urge to snoop, the relationship is probably over. This is an unnecessary tragedy. And I feel like all 3 of these people had their own roles in this happening. The husband is simply the only one left to take the fall. But they all played a part in this happening.

Don't get married if you cannot hold yourself from being with another person everytime. Just stay single so you can do whatever you want. For both genders: respect the life of other people ESPECIALLY if the person is already married, that is if you also respect the life that was given to you.

crazy that he is more sad and sorry about his mistress than his wife

Ladies no man is worth your life. SERIOUSLY!!!

Marriage is not for the weak at heart omg. That's so terrible the way it ended

You’re right, Sadie’s sweater is adorable. Your stuff is great Kendall, you don’t tell people what they should have in their homes. Loved the gold skull btw. ❤️

I'm so happy that he has to live with this his entire life!

Everyone in this story is guilty of something but Jennair is the only one responsible for the murder. Period.

A terrible relationship will leave you batshit cray, depressed, and insecure! And I’m speaking from experience. My daddy told me if you feel you have to go through his phone whatever you think is in there is in there, put it down and leave!

I admire how fair you are when you discuss cases like this. I can never do it. I have been watching you for years and have been angered by many cases but this one really got me to my core. I can never have any sympathy for any of them in this case but I hated the guy the most.

Background, lighting etc is secondary. We are here for your particular story telling talent, sensitivity and of course the pets! 💖

You know Mark was telling Jener he still loved her that whole time

We have to remember that not only did he cheat after 20 years, but also he gave her enough hope that the marriage would be stable that she sold the house and moved across the country, where she was in a place where the only people she knew where her husband and his mistress. It must have been so isolating and I’m not shocked that she went insane- it must have been all she could think about (I’m not excusing murder though)

She wasn’t angry and jealous she was in a tremendous amount of pain

I feel that Gener didn't really thought this through. Imagine how awkward the afterlife would be: these two women's ghosts living in the same house... Also I wanted to tell Kendall that you were right, I absolutely needed to see your dog's sweater ❤️
