I can't say definitively that I know that was the cause, but I don't think it's plausible wife #1 would be leaving him for greener pastures at that point in their lives. Not saying that's any more than speculation on my part, but that's what I thought at the time when he announced the divorce and the new chick. It was pretty shocking to me because of how supportive she seemed to be from how he talked about the marriage and her couple of appearances on the show. Meanwhile, he goes to work everyday surrounded by blonde co-eds who all think he's some kind of celebrity. I'd be more shocked if he wasn't cheating with some of them and then the egirl when she came into the picture later. Again, just speculation, and I'm not pretending I've got perfect clarity on what their relationships were. I was too young and stupid to not take it all at face value at the time.Wait was wife number 2 the reason wife number 1 wanted a divorce? As for Joel they did him dirty but I can't feel too sorry for him. Joel was an unhinged asshole especially on Twitter. He said Gavin should get his house broken into over a fight they had on guns. He's a crazy libertarian and Burnie is a SJW a conflict was inevitable.
I wasn't aware of the Gavin thing. I don't really care about rhetoric like that, though - they gave as good as they got. Gavin in particular once talked about how great it would be if all right-wingers died off so nobody would be around to oppose the gay utopia (I paraphrase; I couldn't give you an episode number, but I know it was in late 2013). He was comfortable enough flinging incendiary shit like that, so he's the last person I'd feel sorry for over catching some in return. (I assume the guy who actually did break into Gavin's house wasn't motivated by any particular loyalty to Joel or his politics.) Not to say Joel wasn't a crazy asshole - he was a lolbert clown - but unlike Joel and Kathleen, none of the rest of them got unceremoniously booted from the company they helped found over saying shitty things to each other.
I agree with you, though - the conflict was inevitable, and in the end, even if I'm more sympathetic to Joel, I don't really feel sorry for any of them. He was apparently fine with watching the company burn down around him until it affected him.
