Some people mistake kindness for weakness!

Karate is a very fluid art. How can a person be very skilled at karate and not be able to learn a few dance moves without stepping all over his partner's feet? That just doesn't ring true, especially when he knows his wife loves to dance.

Liked the storyline, but very weak story,

Really? By that logic if some guys were to beat up Ant in an alley, then Brooke would go and fcuk those other guys, because then they would have proven themselves to be stronger than Ant? Or if Ant were to lose some martial arts competition would she go and sleep with the competitor? This just condones whorish behavior from characterless and entitled women

Wrongful discharge!!!!! Bring on the lawsuit.

I do not see this as a reconciliation story; this is the Caveman Saves the Day variety of LW. I like it but in my experience narcs double down. The wisdom about "nice guys" is useful, although I do not believe it coming from a therapist because they are all parasites.

Sue the company. Kick the bitch to the curb!

A decent story, but some niggles.

Minor ones:

As already pointed out, anybody who succeeds at a martial art (karate, judo, etc.) is going to be a good dancer as well.

Unless there is an MIT in the UK, he couldn't have earned "a first." That simply isn't a US academic term; "departmental honors," "cum laude," "magna cum laude," or "summa cum laude" would be listed.

Major ones (I know that I'm just agreeing with previous commenters) :

In the US, Brooke would file a lawsuit for wrongful termination. Heck, she's in a law firm!

The therapist sounds like she or he (I'm not clear on that) has read too much evolutionary psychology.

Wife is a whore. Dump the slut

The second she defended the asshat over her husband, the husband should have took off his wedding ring, took her hand, looked her in the eye, gave her the ring, and said, "I won't tolerate your blatant disrespect any longer. Have a nice life, Brooke. I'll contact my lawyer in the morning", then walked away holding his head high. However, since this is RAAC land, I suppose it could have been worse. At least there was no physical intimacy (other than the close dancing) so it's passable.
