Would the "evolved" Stern still be married to Alison?

Howard has turned into the opposite of what he once was. Instead of living in his basement, he is out starfucking any chance he gets, etc. If they didn't get divorced, is this Howard what Alison wanted?

[Snotty]

No......She'd be done with ass by now.....

[Rob0729]

The evolved Howard is all about the Hampton/Hollywood lifestyle. From what I can tell, Allison is happy being the suburban housewife living a more quite life. So he would still be miserable with her. Besides, she isn't young or pretty enough for Howard. Wait until Beth totally hits the wall and see how fast he goes running.

One mistake, he's not out star fucking every chance. His wife is out star fucking every chance she gets while Howard is home jerking it to baby sitter porn on his ipad mini.

True, my mistake. Just take away the word "out". He is starfucking every chance he gets.

[Quite Frankly]

Can you imagine what party guests actually say behind Howard's back at those heavy-hitter events he and the Horse get invited to every once in a while?

Please, let some bitter unemployed L.A. actor/cocktail server audio or videotape these utterances and release them to Perez or TMZ...please!

That's a really good question. If you go by the story that Alison was tired of Howard living in the basement or the studio only, then you would think the answer would a resounding YES! But I don't believe that was Alison's problem with Howard. Not the main one at least. I don't buy for a second that Howard did not get caught cheating by Alison. The rubber story is a nice cover up but I'm sure she either had a PI catch him or she just didn't need any real proof to know he was, it was just over.

Now if they had made it through and never divorced Howard would not have become Hampton's Howie. I'm sure that's all 100% Beth's doing. Red carpets and all of that would still be out of Alison's reach as Howard wouldn't be going either. He'd still be hiding from her and the kids, it would just be in a much nicer basement.

allison never came off as a social climbing star fucker, so no.

[tHISisKiSSeL]

allison didn't want to become famous.

[BethSucks]

Alison wouldn't be content posing for his photoshopped foolishness and attending vapid red carpet events. She actually wanted a life with substance and meaning.

Even people who didn't graduate "cum laude" in Psychology from CUNY know that "evolved" people sometimes get divorced. However, no person who can claim to be even slightly psychologically "evolved" would ever:

Become less honest and more sensitive to criticism or to humor at his expense.

Proclaim humility, honesty, and integrity as his principal values and maintain, as his closest friends, obnoxious fuckheads who perpetually exhibit the antithesis of any of those values, like Ross Zapin and Ralph Cirella.

Continually preach one thing to others and then do the exact opposite.

Goof on religion and then resort to praying when he's desperate.

Give a flying fuck about celebrity gossip or befriending high-profile celebrities.

Start wearing "designer" clothes and $10,000 watches in his late 50s.

Pay his long-time employees comparative pennies.

Blow off their weddings and funerals.

Regularly attend red carpets, movie premiers, Hamptons high society events, and celebrity (stranger) funerals.

Marry any broad whose most fundamental values (Catholicism and Pro-Life) directly contradict his (agnosticism and Pro-Choice).

Take seriously (let alone marry) any broad who lives for celebrity gossip and shopping for designer shoes and handbags and who used a computer for a full decade to shop and read celebrity gossip and never found any need to even learn how to just save a document in Word.

Take up a new artistic hobby, buy top-of-the-line equipment, hire a coach, and immediately proclaim himself a "talent" in that skill while churning out laughably bad "art."

Spend even a minute of his life tweeting out "modelling" pictures of his wife or
pictures of any of the other minutia in his life.

Employ a 'round the clock looks management team.

Brag about how "lucky" he is to have such great hair from underneath a laughably obvious hair hat.

Dress up for formal dinners at home with the wife in front of the "help."

Obviously Beth is a huge influence on Howard. It goes a long way to explaining how different Howard is now from when he was first married. But his therapy is also significant factor. If he had stayed with Allison and kept up with the therapy all this time, I'm not sure he would still be the basement-loving hermit he once was. He's always denied cheating on Allison. I tend to believe him. But we really don't know. He may just have been a bad husband by keeping to himself too often. I think he's more attentive now. So he would probably be a better husband to Allison now than he was back then.
