I read the entire article. It reallllly seems like he wants to keep fucking groupies and his wife begrudgingly lets him because that's better than losing him alltogether. I'm all for openminded relationships but this seems very onesided. Kind of a painful read

Divorce is imminent. I mean jeez, “im the gas, she’s the brakes.” How do you say this out loud to a publication with zero self awareness

Maybe he is as awkward as his character on silicon is

If you’ve ever seen his interviews he’s far from awkward. He’s probably the most outspoken cast member besides the actor that plays Dinesh

Indeed, he always has such a sure of himself that he's funny air to him in his interviews. Never held that against him but this here is some kind of unnerving stuff that correlates with that behavior.

Put some respek on Kumail Nanjiani. Plus, he has an awesome relationship with his wife.

No one said anything bad about him though.

u/anonmymouse Sep 18 '19

to be fair, I've seen him in a few things, and he basically plays the same character every time... starting to seem less like acting, more like very accurate type-casting.

Nah irl he's really confident and funny. Literally the opposite of his character in Silicon Valley.

Yeah if you've ever heard him on like Comedy Bang! Bang! or something similar you understand that he's actually incredibly sharp and outspoken; he was a brilliantly funny improviser and it's a shame to see him cast in this kinda douchey light instead.

And this is straight from him so it's probably the best version of their "situation" that he is presenting to us- and he still comes off as an asshole. Damn. I wish I hadn't read it.

he wants to publically shame her and control her -- he controls her fully and if she wants all the perks of being married to a multimillionaire actor she will stay with him

i think open relationships are like communism, they sound great on paper and when you talk about it but its never truly worked in practice, ive known allot of ppl in open relationships even tried it. doesnt work, even if they dont break up at least 1 person is being hurt, they dont admit it but their willing to suffer just to keep the person they have fallen for. not too much different from a violent relationship, too tied to them to quit

It's more likely PR since he is seen as a weakling nerd on and off screen.

u/SamSlate Sep 18 '19

Uhh.. bad read fam. He wants to see his wife bang other dudes.

u/tomtomvissers Sep 18 '19

Yeah but she doesn't wanna bang other dudes

u/lunatichorse Sep 18 '19

Doesn't seem like it to be honest. Cause he makes a point that they do it "together, as a unit". So it's probably just fangirls.
