You know what they say: A setback is a setup for a big comeback. And how about this comeback by Nina and Earl Thomas? I’m never one to judge a couple’s missteps or disconnects because we all have them. For you or me, we may have a fight with our significant other over something that happened months ago. Or maybe you didn’t take out the trash and the stress of the current societal situation sent your partner off the deep end. For Earl Thomas and his wife Nina, it’s that she, with the help of two friends, apparently caught Earl and his brother having sex with other women in bed together. Two sides of the same coin, really. If you had to select the situation from a drop-down menu on a website about your relationship isses, both would be listed as “A Fight”. That’s what matters.
And nothing tugs at the ol’ “my bad for pulling a gun on you even though you probably shouldn’t have had that group sex soiree with your brother” heart strings more than a diamond and gold locket with a photo of Earl and his dad. Earl is clearly a man who values family that’s definitely a touching photo. Maybe it even reminds Earl of a time that he and Pops got together to act out the Urban Dictionary definition of “Eiffel Tower” at a family outing.
So hopefully we can all move forward now that this situation has been remedied. No one got shot, Earl Thomas got a lovely chain, Earl’s brother got to reenact the Step Brothers “Did we just become best friends?” scene with his cherished sibling while raw dogging some girls, they’re all richer for the experience.
It’s time for us all to move on. Especially you, Mark Ingram:
