That's awful. I hope she recovers as best she can. Nothing I'd want a person to go through.
Man that girl has been through a lot I feel like. She's such a different personality too. Hope she's okay.
I knew Aubrey was married, but I couldn’t name her husband if my life depended on it. I’m sorry he was in so much pain, and I hope Aubrey is okay.
Geez.. I swear to god if my obituary opens with Wife's Name's husband, I'd be pretty bummed.
Suicide, also. Dang.
If I were married to Plaza I'd want it mentioned every time.
Marrying my wife was the best decision I ever made. I would be happy if people continue to associate me with her in any context after my death regardless if I survive her or not.
In the end, am I gonna care?
If he hadn't been married to her, this article wouldn't even behave been written.

Why? I'm my wife's husband as much as I am anything else, and plenty of people refer to folks as "John's friend" or "Erin's husband" to identify them in context.
Also, would you have known who this was if they didn't? Some would for sure, but a lot of people who care about his films still might not have put the pieces together without Aubrey Plaza's name in there, so I don't see the issue.
I don’t disagree with it being there but it wouldn’t feel great to be the leading description. "Director, filmmaker, and husband of" would emphasize his accomplishments.
Meow that I think about it, Idk why we're debating a TMZ headline. Sorry and good day.

Your feelings are valid but the opposite view is also perfectly reasonable.
I would be proud of my wife for being so successful (or, I would have been while I was still alive).
There’s no shame in being in your partner’s shadow. It should be a source of pride and enjoyment instead.
To take an extreme example, look at Dolly Parton and her completely not-a-celebrity husband. Do you think that Dolly Parton’s husband is embarrassed that he isn’t famous or that he’s just thrilled to be married to Dolly Parton?
This is literally the first I've ever considered that fact that Dolly Parton might have a husband. She's such an icon that she practically transcends such mortal trivialities.

Well that’s fucking terrible
RIP. Depression takes the best people from us. I wish his friends and family peace and hope that they can grieve him.
