My position is this. Celibacy is infinitely preferable to polyamory. Both Nick and Aaron thought they were galaxy brains that got to double their access to pussy, when in fact they were both pea brains for pursuing this polyamory, let alone trying to make a public spectacle of it. Both are claiming the other was "gayer." Nick comes across as bisexual, whereas Aaron's apparent aversion to being licked and such implied to me that he was simply willing to tolerate the situation to have (what in his mind was) the alphachad status of banging two women. All parties played a stupid game and all parties won stupid prizes. Aaron's willingness to endure the situation, whether reluctantly or not, was INCREDIBLY poor judgment and that is the kind analysis. Nick's retardation was off the charts and dwarfs whatever role Aaron had in the matter.
Added in edit: Keep in mind that Aaron claims his handful of times doing the drugs was in a desire to not rock the boat, whereas Rackets clearly can never get enough substances. On the substance abuse front, Aaron does not have a problem, Nick clearly does.
Only Aaron somehow realized what the situation was doing to his life and managed to extricate himself.
Now Nick and the Aaron alogs try to play this all as a big Nick win, because "Nick managed to steal April".
But its the exact opposite. Aaron bailed, got a quick and clean divorce and thereby ended his involvement in that trainwreck, which was the best thing he could have done in that situation.
I really do not get how people can look at everything as it is now and think "Wow, that Nick guy surely showed it to the Aaron faggot!"
On one side we have: Nick stopped streaming, has to sell a house because the main house is being foreclosed on, lost his youtube career, lost all credibility and his "trad husband" persona was proven to be fraudulent in its entirety, still pending 2nd degree felony drug charges pending, had a young child test positive for cocaine metabolites, outed as a cuck, outed as a swinger, outed as a cheating scumbag who keeps a sidepiece. His life will never be the same and will likely spiral downward.
On the other side: Aaron who ... still got his show, which is still trending downwards the same way it has the past years, but he is still visible in public. Got rid of a drug addict wife in a clean divorce without giving up anything. Has a pending felony charge because Nick behaves like a retarded ex-girlfriend. He might get slapped with another minor fine, find himself another new Mrs. Imholte to bang and then move on with his life and disappear into obscurity.
There surely are no winners in this entire situation, but Aaron clearly managed to pull up just in time.
[EDIT] Aaron has also admitted his mistakes publicly and has done better, Nick is still trying to lie his way out of it.
