Reply to comment by jihadijohhn in Wife elopes with another man, husband marries her lover's wife as revenge by wewhomustnotbenamed

I know a couple of couples who did this. Cheaters broke up many moons ago. The cheatees are still together. The female cheater was such a pious twat. Just feel sorry for the kids involved in a very messy situation.

Just looked up pious because my definition was exact opposite of yours and here I am learning that you can use it sarcastically to mean the opposite (in a sense)

No. in context it means a holier than thou religious narcissist. Someone who espouses their own righteousness, forgives their own transgressions but hates those that don't make them feel like their faith is special. It's not a matter of sarcasm, it's just the fact that faith is a form of narcissism and so those most addicted to it are as hypocritical as you'd expect.

I couldn't encapsulate her better than that... Especially having espoused the sanctity of marriage a year previously.
