aka: fuck around & find out – fiduciary for dummies™
584 a.2d 69
(md. 1991)


filed under:
shit you’d think you wouldn’t have to explain in professional school but here tf we are…
[y’all too busy out here “networking?” lolllll k.]

facts:
husband + wife: “pls save our marriage”
therapist = “here to help 😇”
also therapist = “bet” → immediately slides into wife’s dms
husband still paying for couple’s counseling
while therapist is prepping for—
the bachelor: breach edition: collecting marital secrets + wife’s heart
zero disclosure, infinite cringe
loyalty = “nah”
ethics = ✌️

rule (aka fiduciary duty for ppl who were chronically absent during orientation)

undisclosed loyalty shift = fiduciary breach.
“but we didn’t fuck!” congrats, still illegal.
betrayal is the breach, my dude.
confidential info used for vibes or validation = intentional emotional distress

brah, this isn’t a frat—
it’s a fiduciary dipshit.

[yikes.]

issue:
can you play impartial party while actively plotting on a client’s spouse & still call it fiduciary duty?

holding:
court: lol girl no — ⚡ breach + iied ⚡
(no sex tape needed. just vibes, deceit, and a stupid amount of audacity)

🖤 that’s the starter pack. 🖤

2025 compare & contrast for the clowns
finance-adjacent pick-me. 🫡
risked. it. all. 🔥
🚗 cashping to hubby < 24 hrs post-ER
wifey photos looking like ☠️🔩⚡️🧟‍♂️
lol bringbring lol ft lol textextext
policies = poof

figgy in 1991: this is outrageous
ugly people in 2025: white-collar felony meets lifetime movie meets federal court.

LOL. nice move, babe. 🖤

court needed one private liaison to go defcon-1
but 2025’s giving:

  • 💰 digital money trail

  • 🩸 punching pregnant women

  • 📵 paid policy = block + vanish mode

  • 🧷 postpartum pingpingping “hiii”

  • 👶 a whole fucking baby

  • corporate = yeah lol girl no—“awkward, w/ ur legal hubby, am i right?!?”

  • are you dumb? short answer: absolutely.

final takeaway (aka stop playing with me):

fiduciary duty ≠ “lol but i’m like a cool girl.”
pick neutrality or pick the circus.
if you pick chaos, the law picks consequences. lol.

congrats on turning “awkward” into actionable.
