If you were the Ian Somerhalder, the Husband of Actress Nikki Reed and you have two kids with her and you were tired of your marriage to her, which of these two options would you choose?
1) Stay loyal to your Actress Wife Nikki Reed
or
2) Begin having a secret affair with her married best friend Actress Haylie Duff. In this situation, Haylie Duff will divorce her husband, and then the both of you secretly plot to gaslight the shit out of Nikki Reed so that she can get institutionalized so that after you divorce Nikki Reed, you can marry Haylie Duff, and then it will be easier for both you and Haylie Duff to have Nikki Reed's Parental rights taken away, so that Haylie Duff can legally adopt the two kids that you have with Nikki Reed as her own and Haylie becomes their mother now and she is no longer the stepmother anymore.
