Welcome back to more unhinged, crazy Reddit stories.
Starting point is 00:00:20 We react. The show where we read a bunch of Reddit stories, we react, we give our thoughts on it, our opinions, and we relate to them. Today I'm joined by Amanda and Angela, my Dungeons and Dragons friends. So there is a theme today. The theme is cheating. Oh, yeah. That was the theme of my last birthday party. Oh, hey?
Starting point is 00:00:41 What? I'm kidding. Um, I don't think you are kidding. So almost I think all of these stories involve cheating in some way or another, whether they were being cheated on, they cheated on someone, I don't know. I will say for context, I have been cheated on and it does suck. But and so I have a lot of opinions on cheating. But I also got cheated on when I was like 16 and I was like it's the end for me. I literally was like I should just quit quit everything and it was like it was so brutal. I think what's hard for me about that
Starting point is 00:01:16 cheating incident I've only been cheated on once but they lied about it. I I confronted that that's they lied and then their friends were like I can't let this go on any longer they did cheat on you and I th I I I I I I I I I I I I I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I've th. I've th. I've thi thi thi. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've the. the. th. th. th. th. I've th. I've th. I th. I th. I th.

I the. the. the. the. the. the. the the the theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee the thethen their friends were like, I can't let this go on any longer. They did cheat on you. And I think that's what really fucked me over. The person who cheated on me, they told me. And so I was at least great, like I was at least about that, but it was still, still sucked. But it is the lying. That is my ultimate take. But let's, we'll get into this. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. that, that, th. th. that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that.

Are we ready for the first story? Do you want to say? Do you have any? Yeah, sure. Do you want to say?
Starting point is 00:01:49 Do you have anything to say? Yeah, I was going to say, yeah, sure. I was just honestly waiting. Do you want to talk about what happened?

I mean, I do feel like emotional cheating. We all started learning what that was, I think, recently. It's up for debate. I agree. I agree.
Starting point is 00:02:12 I think emotional cheating, cheating. I think we'll learn that today, probably. I think we'll learn that today. I think we'll learn I do think it is. I think so too. Yeah, I think. Right. Okay, here we go. My boyfriend, who's 23, cheated on me, 21-year-old woman, because he can choose who has access to his body. All right. This was posted on relationship advice. I found out on Thursday that my boyfriend of two years was cheating on me for months my boyfriend of two years was cheating on me for months with one of my childhood
Starting point is 00:02:48 ex-best friends, a 20-year-old woman, and it has completely and utterly wrecked me. In all honesty, I don't know if I'll ever be able to recover from this. I loved and trusted him so much. Our relationship was literally perfect. And he had the nerve to cheat on me after telling me daily how he's never loved anyone as much as me. I could barely even talk because I was out of breath from crying so much. When I tried my best to formulate a coherent sentence and ask him why he would do this to me,
Starting point is 00:03:15 he simply responded by saying, I can choose who has access to my body. What? This has mentally fucked me up, and I still can't comprehend this situation. He texted me today that this doesn't have to end our relationship. And some paragraph asking me, why do I care when it's his body and not to the body and not, to the try to explain to him that I valued him being faithful to me as a fundamental part of our relationship and not sharing his body with anyone else, as I would be faithful to him. Also, we never agreed to be Polly or anything. He now says that he understands how much I value his physical body.
Starting point is 00:03:53 I never said that, and we'll be fully aware of that going forward in our relationship. I honestly don't think I can give him another chance, though. I literally thought I was going to spend the rest of my life with him, but, the, the, and, and, and, and, and, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, I, I, and I, I, I, and, I, I, and, I, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, and, thi, thi, thi, and, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, thi, thi, thi, thr.a, thr-a, thr-a.i.i.i.I.e. toe. thr. thr. thr-a. thr-a. thr-a, thr-a, ththough. I literally thought I was going to spend the rest of my life with him, but after what he has done, that's all out of the window. It's just tough because I can't, I can think back about how I never loved or cared about my ex-boyfriends to the level that I do him. And it almost feels like I do still love him, even after he completely violated me. Are there any reasonable ways that I can go about this from here? The way you go about it is not being a relationship with him. I mean... Did he just discover the definition of body? I... this sounds... That he like wants to keep using it in a sentence? So something I've been
Starting point is 00:04:36 seeing a lot of people talk about now is people who, you know a lot of psychological and therapy terms and just therapy speak is being thrown around around around around around around around around around around around around around a tooedededed............... to. I. I. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. to. A. A. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. I. they. to. to. to. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. the the to. I. the the the the to. the the to. the tttttttte. thea. thea. thea. the the the the the the the the the the the they. thems and just therapy speak is being thrown around on the internet now. And I do think a lot of people try to use it for their own benefit. That's what I was thinking. He's being manipulative and he's trying to be like, well, no, see, and he's using some weird wording as opposed to being like, yeah, I, I, he understands why th.......... He's just manipulating like monogamy and it wants an open relationship it sounds like physically. But he's not communicating that. But it's just being like this is my body and I have permission of that. Like it feels like he's just
Starting point is 00:05:14 using words, you're right. He sounds really stupid. Sounds like word salad. He sounds very stupid but he's trying to essentially tell her that it's like, well it's you don't have control over my body. It's like, th. He, th. He, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi's th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thee. theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. the. th. th. th. th. th essentially tell her that it's like, well, it's it. You don't have control over my body. It's like, that's not what we're talking about here, man. He read one book like on bodies and he was like, that is correct. He did not read a book. Let's be honest. He googled body. He googled body.
Starting point is 00:05:35 So that's what this is. To be clear, when you're to cheat, when, you are putting them at physical risk of STDs and everything. And you're not, especially when you're not communicating with them and she doesn't know how this was all going down. Her body is at risk because he wants his body to have another body on his body, but her body is not being respected. This feels like an idiot that like listens to the Me Too movement with one ear and goes this is what it's about And he comments mission for the buddies
Starting point is 00:06:27 there's some some comments here also ex-friend. You said X oh is with his it was with her friend. It's her ex friend. It's her ex friend. Oh, it was with his it was with her friend. It's her ex friend. Oh, it was the threat. It was he cheated on her with her friend. It's now. He's. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was.

It was, he cheated on her with her friend, who's now not her friend. So he's, he fully gets it. I always feel so sad though in these and I understand the people, the headspace people are in, that she's like, is there any way that I can, it sounds like she wants to try to live. Is this, and it's like, this, and it, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th. th. thi, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th.

It's, th. It's salvage. And it's like, this is gone. Yeah, I also feel like this just reeks of 23-year-old and 21-year-old dating. Yeah, it sucks. It disrespect. But I am of an opinion.
Starting point is 00:06:52 I am an opinion. And people might disagree. That's OK. But when you're in your early 20s, and especially if you don't have kids, you don't have, like a house, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, their, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, and, and, to, to, to, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and I, and I, and I, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the the the to, the the the the to, the the the to, the the to, they, the to, they, they, they, they, they, to, they, they, they, they, to, the, even much less caliber than this happens, it's like, walk away. Walk away, experience other relationships. Experience other relationships do not stick with something that is making you feel horrible. That is great advice.
Starting point is 00:07:16 I just don't think it's worth it. Not when you're that age. Yeah, man, and you don't realize how young you are until later. But even also, even if you're in your 30 30 30 30 30 something like this to you walk away. Just like walk away. But they're destroyed. I feel like this is I do think that this is what we have to go through like these like hardships to kind of grow but like I feel so bad because they're destroyed and now their level of trust with not only their boyfriend but a friend is totally th..... their their their level. their level. their level. their level. their level. their level. their level. their level. their level. their level. their level. their level. their level. their level. their level their level their level their level. their level their level their level their level.

I'm. their level of. their level. their level. I'm. their boyfriend but a friend is totally shattered. Yeah I don't think that friend was a friend. No, not at all. So we got a bunch of comments here. The first
Starting point is 00:07:49 comment, this is a very Reddit comment thread here really quick. I see this all the time. And someone commented, and you get to decide that he no longer has access to your body. Someone replied to that and her heart. And my axe and someone replied that saying, and my that, and my that, and my that, and my that, and my that, and my that, and that, and that, and that, and that, and that, and that, and that, and that, and that, and that, and that, and that, and that, and that, and that, and that, and that, the is toe is that, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to thomomomomomomomomomomomomomomom is the is the is the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the is the is a the is a throwne is a throwne is a the is a thea thea thea thea thea theauuuuu., thea thea to that, and my axe, and someone replied to that, and my bow, and someone replied to that saying, and my sword. Oh my God. Yep. Those types of comment threads happen on every post.
Starting point is 00:08:15 Okay, so here's some serious comments. Someone said, he's trying to play mind games with you to downplay the situation. Make no mistake, it's cheating and he cheated. His refusal to say I cheated is how he's trying to avoid accountability. No one says after two years of monogamy, oh, I didn't realize that our monogamy extended to sex with others. You're better off without him. Someone else said, O P. You will laugh at this some day, though not now for sure, but you will get over this and him. You can comprehend this. He can't th and he he he th and you can't th and you can't th and you can't com you can't com you can't com you can't com you can't th th th thin thin thus thus thus thus thus and thus and him thus thus and him thus. thus. thus and him. thi. thus, and him th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the to to to to to to toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toeoooooo. toe. toe. toe. toe. to toe. to the the the to the, you can comprehend this, he cheated on you. He gave a lame, ridiculous excuse to justify it. That's all. You didn't have a literally perfect relationship, you had a relationship with a sweet facade that has been ripped away. You do need to break up with him. You want monogamy, he toobey. toobey. He is not compatible. He is lacking in ethics, he would have been honest and up front about having sex with your ex-best friend from the beginning so you could
Starting point is 00:09:07 have decided if you wanted to stay with him. That's the therapist that he discovered the word body from. Yeah and let's also be 100% clear he doesn't want an open relationship because if she slept with someone else, this guy would lose his mind. Let's, I'm not, I do not question that for a second. He would would th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the the the the to be the to be to be the to be to be the to be to be to be to be to be the the their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their, their, their, their, their, th. the. the. theat. toeate. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. the the the their, I, I, I'm not, I do not question that for a second. He would be very jealous, I think. Yeah. Here's our next story. I cheated on my girlfriend of two years with an escort, and the only thing that saved me was a trip to Panera bread afterwards. I'll never ever do it again.
Starting point is 00:09:37 La Punk, what you're a this is mine. We had two very different reactions to that title. What was going on there? No, sorry, I just got excited and then I said an inside joke, maybe that wasn't appropriate. No, it's okay. Can you say it again? I got excited because I was like, oh my god, they're getting juicier. And this happens to me all the one I got, Hold on, here we go. This one is, this one is insane. I cheated on my girlfriend of two years with an escort
Starting point is 00:10:08 and the only thing that saved me was a trip to Panera bread afterwards. I'll never ever do it again. So this comes from True off my chest, where people can anonymously post confessions. So he's posting a confession here. So me and my girlfriend have been dating for two years now. I really love her, but I've had a sex addiction side to me that's taken over my life. Guess I don't really love her if I'm cheating on her, right?
Starting point is 00:10:32 Well, after months of research, I wanted to meet this escort who I've been seeing online and ads. So I told my girlfriend good night and instead Uberd to the hotel where the today was was was was the escort is staying at. She was beautiful, but the whole time I was imagining my girlfriend. It wasn't the best experience. After we finished, I left, contemplated telling her, but didn't. So after I left, I uber to Panera bread to get something to eat. My girlfriend knows I like going out to restaurants by myself. I actually prefer eating alone as I get a lot of enjoyment out of it. I finish and Uber home home. to to to the home. the home. the home. the home. the home. the home. the home. the to to to the to to the to to the the to to to the the the the the th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I the the th, I the the th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the t, I, I, I, I, I, I'm, I tell, I tell, I tell, I tell, tell, tell, tell, tell, the, tell, the, the, the, the, the, the, I the the, So did you go anywhere of note two days ago? I say no.
Starting point is 00:11:06 She then pulls up Uber receipts from my email showing I ubered to a hotel. I logged into my email on her computer a couple months back. I was shocked. I was caught, I felt ashamed, and I was shook. I didn't know what to do, me to the wrong location, since I'd only been there 20 minutes before Ubering to Panera. She found that plausible, I guess. I gasslet her saying that she doesn't trust me and that she doesn't love me. That ubering there was an honest mistake. She knows it wasn't an affair because she's been with me the entire month. It was just a quick 20-minute escort visit. She couldn't ever imagine me their. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. I. I. I. I. I, is. I, is. I, is. I, is. I, is. I, is. I, is. I, is. I, is. I, is. I, is. I, is. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t.. So we argue, but ultimately we agree that I went to Panera Bread and came home. It's
Starting point is 00:11:47 been two months since then. I got an SDD test and it came out clean. I want to love my girlfriend the way she deserves, although I know deep down I don't deserve it. But again, who said this world is just and fair? We're both extremely happy and in love I don't feel much regrett to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the to to to to to to the to to to to to the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. toe. toe live happily ever after. Okay, 20 minutes? Okay, that doesn't allow for going up the hotel, going up the elevator saying hi. Yeah. Getting going. Foreplay. I can off your boots. My God, if you had boots on, that's 10 minutes. What the hell is that? That also means like, yeah, dropping off all the way up, calling an Uber to leave from there. The boy saw tho th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th.

That also means like, yeah, dropping off all the way up, calling an Uber to leave from there. The boy saw this escort, did the thing immediately. And then left and went to Panera? What do you get?
Starting point is 00:12:35 Broccoli cheddar? Oh, we haven't even got into this yet. I haven't even addressed the restaurant choice yet. Amanda, I'm still on how fast he pee pee pee pee pee pee. Okay, because that's what people do when they come, right? They pee pee pee pee. And then, no, pee pee and come are not the same thing. And then we'll get to how, how late this Panera's opened and how... Wow, I didn't think about that aspect. What if he, what have he met the escort the escort the escort the escort the escort the escort the escort the escort the escort the escort the escort the escort the escort the escort the escort the escort the escort the escort the escort the escort the escort he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he peep he he he he he he he he he he he he he heep peep pee pee pee pee pee pee pee pee pee pee pee pee pee pee pee pee pee pee pee pee pee pee pee pee pee pee pee pee pee pee pee he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he.

What if he, what have he met the escort at 6 p.m. Also if my boyfriend was like, how to to tick?
Starting point is 00:13:11 Well, she went to bed. It's after the girlfriend went to bed, I think, or he said goodnight to her. So, either she's lame and goes to bed early and goes, oh'm gonna take an Uber to Panera to get broccoli cheddar soup and eat by myself because that's what I prefer. Why did you Uber to Panera? Well, I got drunk. Yeah, I got drunk. I got drunk. I got off soup. The broccoli, the chetter makes me so nauseous.
Starting point is 00:13:32 You know I don't need to be behind the wheel. My God. I can't believe he even wrote, like, I don't feel much regret anymore. Like, uh, because in denial. Yeah, he's gonna like that. Well, it makes you a worse person, I think, when you have to do that to yourself, and you have to like shove it away. You then, I think you lose a part of your soul
Starting point is 00:13:56 because you like start to live empathy. Or you, it's also what they say they say they say they say they say they say they say they say they say they say they say they say they say they say they say they say they say they say they say they say they say they say, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to, to, to, to, that, that, that, to. that, to. to. to. to. to. to. to. how short that was, he's probably just only thinking about Panera and replacing it, especially with just Uber ride, just feeling like I only Uber there. Well, and yeah, over time, our memories alter. Yeah, like memories don't stay intact. So we can kind of alter our memories. So some funny wording here, after he says, uh, so he's like, it wasn't, he talks about being with the escort and he goes, after we finished, I left, and then, um, after Panera Bread, he goes, I, I finish
Starting point is 00:14:34 an Uber home. This guy sucks, man. I like how he- He-pee-pies and fucking pipses. You know what's funny, he talks about, he gets a lot of enjoyment out of eating alone. I think he had more enjoyment from Panera bread than with this. Oh, 100%. It sounds like he did. 20 minutes he was probably at Panera for two fucking hours. Dude, wouldn't it be so funny if the escort went to Panera bread too and they both were
Starting point is 00:14:54 just like, shit. It was like, the reason I've never cheated on someone and the reason I can't is because I wouldn't be able to like I can't keep secrets like that. I would I would have to crumble. The only way I could like get away. I would have to. I would have to. The only way I could like get away with not tell them as if I just broke up with them immediately. I'd be like, we're done, I'm done, we're breaking up, I gotta go, and I'd have to leave.
Starting point is 00:15:26 We walk into a wall. But I would still feel horrible, I would have to tell them. That's why I think this guy is literally using panana, banana. Panana bread. Whoa, where did you go? like your brains like trying to like heal itself and like not go into trauma and like use it as like that's the only reason why I went. Yeah, so we have a bunch of comments here. Your girlfriend is only happy as you say because she doesn't know how disgusting you are.
Starting point is 00:15:56 You lied and gaslighted her and you're making light of it in the comments. Consider the pain she will feel when she finds out and she will because you will become more sloppy and careless. Consider the irreparable damage you're inflicting on her self-esteem by lying and gaslighting her and leave her alone. He said, he responds, exactly my point, it's been done. I can live with the guilt and hurt I've caused. Why does she need to be in the crossfire? I've changed and am trying to be the best I can to her. Sometimes it's not as simple as black and white morals. She won't be able to live with herself if she knew. I don't want her to feel that pain. What a fucking asshole. God, crossfires. Someone else commented, she needs to leave you before you do it again. Opie said, good things she won't and she'll never find out. I have her right where I want her. Smiley, winky face. I'm happy, she's happy, and she's th, and she's th, and she's th, and she's th, and she's th, she's th, and she's th, and she's th, and she's th, and she's th, she's th, she's th, and she's thi is thi, she's thi, she's thi, she's thi, she's thi, thi, she's thi, she's thi, she's thi, she's thi, she's the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, I's thr, thr-s, thr-s, thr-s, thr-s, too, too, thean, thean, thean, thr-s, thean, thi, th happy, she's happy, and I don't plan to do it ever again. So the commenter said, I'm sorry, but I have her right where I want her gave me
Starting point is 00:16:49 literal chills. Do you understand just how disgusting you sound? He said I admit that was a terrible choice of words. I do feel remorse, but think that this way is more optimal the happiness situation for both of us. I can't lose her even if it was my fault tha thosed. those. those. those. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to thi. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the. I, the. I the. the. the. the. the the the the too toooooooooooooooooooooooooo. I toe. I the. I th us. I can't lose her even if it was my fault. Another commenter said what a piece of shit. This is so specific that here's hoping someone sees the post and shows the girlfriend. Another commenter replied assuming it's real it looks like someone did. Update. What? What? Scroll out? Let's go! Oh my god. In my fan fiction version of this, I print it out out, I printed out at all the Paneras, because hopefully they go to Panera together.
Starting point is 00:17:27 Do you want some of this blanket? I can't tell. Here we go. Here we go. Okay. I am the girlfriend. I left him. Don't know what to do next.
Starting point is 00:17:37 Parenceus. It wasn't Panera bread! What? I have made so many broccoli cheddar jokes. What the hell? If he lied about Panera bread, I don't know what to believe. Oh my God. Is it like apple bees? How did she find this? Okay. the last six hours for me. Thanks to Reddit for doing your thing. I was tipped off by a girlfriend who saw the thing come up on her recommended feed. I searched his phone and
Starting point is 00:18:08 came across all kinds of messages with girls and escorts he didn't even bother deleting. Coming across these things in the boyfriend who I thought was the most sweet guy on planet earth felt like a gut punch. We were together for four years actually. I thi thi. th the th, the th, th, the th, th, the th, th, th, th, the thu, the thu, I thu, I, thu, I, thu, I thu, I, I tho-a, I tho-up, I tho-up, I th.

He looked at me and tried gaslighting me again about how that was all a work of fiction and that none of it was true. It was just to provoke a reaction on Reddit, but after seeing the messages I couldn't believe him anymore. Gathered some things, left our apartment and am staying with my parents right now. Lesson learned y'all, don't trust true te, thex, thex, thex I've never felt so distraught and betrayal in my life and betrayed in my life. The pain I'm feeling can't even begin to describe be described by words. Maybe I'll feel more and explain later, but for now I'm just sticking to the grieving process.

I don't know where to go with, I, what the hell? Confession, I've never heard a pop belly either. It's only in the airport and it sucks. I don't think they
Starting point is 00:19:29 make restaurant only, only for airports, Amanda. You know what? I think you're the weird one here. I think you're insane and your dad playing me right now. This is a, look, this is the thing that I have noticed is like, I think like if you're in a a a a a a relationship a relationship a relationship a relationship a relationship a relationship th a relationship th a relationship th a relationship th a relationship th a th a th a th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th.

I'm, thi. I'm only. I'm only. I thi. I th. I th. I th. I the thing that I have noticed is like, I think like if you're in a relationship with someone or if someone's talking to you and they're like, oh yeah, like I cheated, but I'm not gonna do it again. It's like, you're probably gonna do it again. Like they, they, especially if you're not telling them and you're not communicating and you don't feel remorse.
Starting point is 00:19:54 Like he was lying to Reddit. He clearly was, as you were saying, he was lying to himself. He loves like telling this fiction to himself of like, I did it once and it's fine, but he's actively doing this all the time. Why did he lie about Pop-Belly? That is the biggest. He was trying the in the thing. Have you? We've had, like when someone shows up in the comments as a party of the story? This type of thing does happen on Reddit a lot. I know, I've just never seen this. People find Reddit. Like if you're going to post on Reddit being like, oh, I cheated on my girlfriend or I lied to my girl. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. the. th. th. th. th. th. th. th th. th th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thee. the. thee. theeeeeeee. theeee. the. thi. the. the. thi.'s like, there's a good chance. She's gonna find it.
Starting point is 00:20:45 Not because she's, they'll often be like, my girlfriend's not on Reddit or like throwaway accounts so my girlfriend doesn't find it. It's like, but you might have friends who have read it and like, they're gonna see it. Or they might be watching a smoshed video. saw this and like, that's, that's Steve, that's Steve, for sure. It went some piece of trash that Ubers to a Panera? I know who that is. Potbelly.
Starting point is 00:21:08 Oh, no disrespect. Important information here. Potbelly is a sub-sandwich chain originated in Chicago in the 70s. They do milkshakes. Only? No, they do thethe sub sandwich changed, but they also, but they also have milkshakes. So he wanted a sandwich and a milkshake after a boink in it? Probably because his boiq was only little, little, because it was like, five minutes, and he probably was like, I need something else.
Starting point is 00:21:37 Okay. I need something else. All right, look, that one seems done. I'm happy she found out. I feel bad for her but like dude she dodged a massive bullet. But what? This this asshole was like we're gonna spend the rest of our lives together. No, I got her right where I want her. She got out of it. Thank God. That is some big betrayal legacy. No, no. No. No. No. Next story. Am I the asshole for refusing to meet my boyfriend's friends unless they apologize to me? Okay.
Starting point is 00:22:11 A couple of weeks ago, this is a 24-year-old woman. My boyfriend, who's 27, friends found a tinder account with my pictures and matched with it. I have not met my boyfriend's friends yet, but they know what I look like because my boyfriend showed them pictures. They showed my boyfriend the account and my boyfriend called me immediately to tell me about it. I haven't used Tinder in over a year and Tinder is supposed to delete it inactive accounts after seven days, so I knew it wasn't mine.
Starting point is 00:22:36 His friend also messaged with the account that weekend, but I was with my boyfriend watching a movie, that exact time, so my boyfriend didn't really believe the account was mine either. But his friends weren't convinced that I wasn't cheating. I could hear them yelling things through the phone like, make that bitch prove herself. Your girlfriend is a whore, along with other really degrading names. My boyfriend told them to shut up as I was on the verge of tears. I went on face time with all of them while the friend messaged the account. They made me show my hands and my phone on video call the whole time. The Catfisher messes back and I was proven innocent.
Starting point is 00:23:12 None of them apologized to me. They only apologized to my boyfriend, which felt even more disrespectful. Apparently those friends are hosting a party this weekend and my boyfriend wants me to meet the group for the first time. But I don't want anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to their their to their their their their their, their, their, to to their, their, their, their, their, I, their, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, and, their, and, their, and, and, and, their, and, and, their, the group for the first time, but I don't want anything to do with them until they apologize to me for calling me names. My boyfriend understands but also says that it would mean a lot if I could at least give his friends another chance, since they were actually just doing their best to support him. He has been cheated on in the past. Would I be the asshole if I refused? You still don't call a woman a whoreore, I, I, to call, to call, to call, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the to, the the th, th the the th the thi, the the thi, th tho, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to thooooooooooooooo, to the. That, that, I think like...
Starting point is 00:23:45 This makes me mad. It'd be one thing if they were just like, hey man, like, I'm mad. We're concerned for you. I don't know if I trust her, whatever. This shows that he's friends with a bunch of misogynistic people. Like, he's by proxy probably, it's. Yeah. You're a thorough, put, put, put, put, put, put, put. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. tho. tho. tho. th. thi. tho. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. they. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. tha. tha. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. th said. No, they... They hold her hands up as they DMV account. What that? It was a full body slate.
Starting point is 00:24:06 That... Actor joke. Willing to shave? You're out of control. You have way too many jokes sitting in the driveway, eh? It's just... Turn that engine off, baby. That sucks.
Starting point is 00:24:24 That makes me really mad because the fact he... That sucks. That makes me really mad because the fact that just shows that he's not going to support her in a time of need. Yeah, I also get, I have personal things with like, I feel like in my dating history when friends, when your partner like gets like protective of their friends when their friends are kind of being like like I've never had something like that disrespectful but when they're just like it would mean a lot if you just let that slide or it would mean a lot if you were still friends if
Starting point is 00:24:56 you were friends with my friends and like I just think I get it and friends mean a lot to people but like when they do something as blatantly disrespectful to a woman like that bro. bro. bro. bro. bro. they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they to they they to to to they're they they're to to to to to to to to th.

I thi thi. I thi. I thi thi thi th lot to people, but like when they do something as blatantly disrespectful to a woman like that, bro, the lines are pretty clear. And manipulative too. Yeah, they've been dating for like a little over a year it sounds like because she hasn't used tinder in over a year. Cut that shit down. So we have some comments here. The verdict was not the asshaw for, she wouldn't be an asshole for if she refused to go see his friends. to go. to go. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. the to. the to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to be. to be. to be. to be.

You humored them and went so far as to prove you were innocent. The least they can do is apologize. Red flag that your boyfriend doesn't think they owe you an apology.
Starting point is 00:25:33 Someone else said, what the fuck? Time to dump the boyfriend and his buddies. Not the asshole, but you're the asshole to to the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the to the the the the to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the leastss. Yeah, I fully agree. I'd say like maybe just don't go to the hang, just give it a bit. Yeah, or just be like, I don't feel comfortable going to the hang after they called me a whore. And they didn't apologize. A bunch of dudes were like, you're fucking hoar, I'd be like, cool. I'm not coming over for a barbecue. Yeah. What are we talking about here?
Starting point is 00:26:05 Also, look, my advice from earlier, she's 24. I'm just like, dude, that's that big of a red flag? Walk away. Walk away, man. Walk away, man. I just, I'm just a believer in that. I am. Yeah, walk away.
Starting point is 00:26:18 But if people disagree, that's's an update. Ooh. Update on this one. We've got a lot of updates today, I think. These are so good. So much crazy shit has happened, and I've just been trying to process at all. I don't even think y'all are going to believe what went down. After reading through the comments on my last post, I told my boyfriend again to me and made it up by spending the weekend with me at my place instead of going to the party. He told me that after he quit his job, he would not contact any of his friends who refused to apologize to me. None of them did.
Starting point is 00:26:51 His apology seemed genuine and him not going to the party convinced me that everything was good so I didn't break up with him. Flash forward to a few days ago. were laying together in bed, he was on his phone, messaging some of his friends while I was watching TickTox. At one point, I glanced at his phone while he was scrolling through his text and saw that he had sent a bunch of screenshots of my pictures from Instagram to someone. Even from far away, I could tell that they were pictures of me. I didn't think much of it, and even thought, sleep, I jokingly asked him, hey, why were you sending my Instagram pictures to your friends? He went white, and there was so much panic on his face. I immediately knew something was up and made him explain.
Starting point is 00:27:32 Apparently, he sent my Instagram pictures to his friends so that they could make a fake Tinder account to see if I was really cheating on him, because he had been cheated on in the past. He felt so insecure in our relationship that he wanted to make sure I didn't have any dating apps or was doing anything shady behind his back. He thought the confrontation would scare me into a real confession. But he didn't want to seem like the bad guy with major trust issues, which is what he is, so he had his friends confront me for him while he pretended to be on
Starting point is 00:28:04 my side the whole time. They saw my reaction to it all. I was literally on the verge of tears the entire call and did not confess to anything they accused me of. And they decided to play it off as a catfish. So congrats to those of you in the comments who guessed right. The friends made the fake account. I didn't believe it at first because I had no evidence and I hate making false assumptions about people. I also thought that they had no way to get pictures of me since my Instagram is private.
Starting point is 00:28:31 But how the fuck was I supposed to know my own boyfriend was providing them to frame me? Needless to say, I dumped his ass. He cried the whole time which was admittedly satisfying to watch but also painful. Thanks for all the support. Wish me luck in therapy. Whoa. Wait. So he was still. I'm confused. So still make a message. Yeah, he was sending stuff.
Starting point is 00:28:52 So, so the tinder account. So, the tea. Yeah. That she was like, they, that he came and he's like, hey, we found a Tinder account, your girlfriend has. They made it. Why? Why? To test? They wanted, they wanted to see if, the boyfriend was, the boyfriend masterminded it. He was, he had been cheated on the past, so he wanted his friends
Starting point is 00:29:14 to create a fake Tinder account with photos of her, to then confront her with it so that she would go, okay, yeah, I'm cheating on you. Yeah. But she wasn't, so they just they had this big elaborate plan to make her come clean. That obviously wasn't real. What is psycho! Yeah, she's going to therapy now, which is great, and he could have done that in the first place. He's going to hell. I just, it's like it's crazy to me. Like when you get to that point, it's like, oh maybe I shouldn't be th. th. th. th. to to to to to to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be th. to be th. th. to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be thr. to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be crazy. to be crazy. to be crazy. to be crazy. to be crazy. to be crazy. to be crazy. to be crazy. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. the. the. the. the. that the. that that that that that that that that that's that's that's that's that's that's thr. the. when you get to that point, it's like, oh, maybe I shouldn't be in a relationship. Maybe I'm not ready for this. Maybe I should go talk to a therapist for a while and work through this. Yeah. And then, does his friends have girlfriends?
Starting point is 00:29:55 That's what I want to know. Dude, if someone came to me and was like, hey, we're going to do this whole. to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thi, thi, that, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, to, maybe, to, to, to, to, to, to talk, to talk, to talk, to talk, to talk, to talk, to talk, to talk, to, to, to, to, thi. thi. thi. to, thin, thi. to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to me, to, to, to, to me, try we figured out a way to find everyone cheating because we believe in a world where everyone's freaking cheating. That's right. And all women are hoars. And this is what we do we create fake accounts so then we catch them in the act because basically everybody's cheating. I'd be like oh no you're all hurt. Thanks to fake Tinder my wife divorce divorced me. We called. Yeah. What? Oh no. That's nuts.
Starting point is 00:30:28 They're also hurt it feels like. Thank God she ended that. Like, can you imagine if she got married and the shit he would come up with? I'm so glad a lot of these people are like discovering and like walking away from these relationships. And like I'm also a believer in like when you have that level of suspicion, it's like, oh, I need to work on this or like this relationship won't work. Like when you're at that level of suspicion, you're, it's not working. Like something, something's got to give there.
Starting point is 00:30:56 And his friends aren't healthy. If he continues with this framework, he's never going to end up in a successful relationship. Not with those friends.

Am I the asshole for calling the police on my fiance? Last night my, this is a 35 year old man, my fiance, who's 38, 38 year old woman, left in the evening to give a friend's son a ride back to his home.
Starting point is 00:33:51 She implied she'd be home before 9, she left around 745. 1015 rolls around and she still wasn't home. I texted and she apologized to me, saying that her friend's son was actually in the next town over, maybe 30 minutes away, and she was coming home now. 1145 rolled around and she still hadn't come home, so I called her to no answer. Text her to no response, I was getting very upset. 1230 rolled around and still no response and no answer to my phone calls. I was extremely angry.
Starting point is 00:34:17 One-thirty rolled around and my anger had completely transformed into worry, not answering my calls and texts not read. Around 145, I called the police. I have always heard that the first 24 hours of someone being missing is the most important, so I didn't want to delay. I asked him to let me know if there had been any traffic accidents involving her car, and the operator told me that they would put out the word and send some cops to check along the routes she would to the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the the the the the the the the the, and the the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, the, the, I.................. the, I, I, I. the, I. the the the the the the the the the the t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t the the t the t the t the theirs, the hospitals in the area to see if she had been checked in, and I waited outside watching the road for her car for three hours. Partially because I didn't want the kids to hear me on the phone with hospitals, and secondly because I was sick with worry. At 7 a.m. she came home. She apologized for being out and said she had no excuse. She was driving home and felt tired like she was falling asleep at the wheel, so she pulled over to the side of the road to sleep. When she did that, she found
Starting point is 00:35:06 that her brand new phone had stopped working. She says she napped anyway because it was the responsible thing to do, and then came home at 7 a.m. to bring the kids to school and get to work on time. I immediately called the police and theat. tho, th th the the police, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their.ea.ea.ea.ea.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e. tr.e. toge. their, their, their, their, their, the case number and told them to stop searching, which they did. My fiance brought the kids to school and left for work. I set out to start cleaning. Cleaning de-stresses me sometimes. And I got a call from a policeman, asking where she worked. I told him and asked why, and I was informed that it was their policy to check on the person's wellness after a missing th......... I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was.

He said he couldn't promise. My fiance is
Starting point is 00:35:49 relatively new to her job. A police officer showed up and asked to speak with her. She is now enraged at me for calling the police and sending a cop to her work and making her look bad. She is saying I overreacted and that she wasn't missing and that I was punishing her for doing the responsible thing and not driving well drowsy. She is saying that she is never going to leave the house again except for work because she is afraid I'm going to call the cops on her again. So did I overreact? Should I have waited two days like she suggests? No, the first 48, everyone knows that show. First 48 is very important to catch a suspect and find the missing person. We don't talk about this a lot.
Starting point is 00:36:25 I don't think we said it on camera. We're obsessed with the same TV. We're obsessed with Dateline, we're obsessed with the True Crime. Lest the true crime is a god. Yeah, believe it or not, we're true crime junkies. I finished it. We're tousands of episodes. I finished it. I'm waiting for the next one to come out. Now I'm on a weekly. So those are obvious things.
Starting point is 00:36:47 I don't think he overreacted. I don't think I think he actually did everything right. So I haven't scrolled down yet to see if there's an update. Yeah, because. But I feel pretty certain she cheated. I just, you know what actually seems to be the most telling for me is the like, the getting angry and like making him feel bad and the like putting it on him. That's such a like tell-tale sign. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:37:12 And that's what, it's so consistent. Guilt. Because if I had actually fallen asleep, that probablythe next day, I bet I would have been like, you know what, this all makes kind of sense. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. So we have comments here. No, you're not the asshole, but you know she's lying, right? Someone said, not the asshole. I don't believe her story one bit.
Starting point is 00:37:35 Driving a kid home and disappearing for the drive. How old is this kid? Pulling over and sleeping on the side of a road for a 30-minute drive is nuts. She is now turning this around to say she is the victim of your actions. Someone else said, not the asshole, she was, she said she was on her way home at 10.15 p.m. And then disappeared until 7 a tm. Of course you're going to call the police the police the police the police call the police call the police call the police call the police the police call to call the police to call to call the police to call the police to call the police the police to call to call the police the police the police to call to call to call the police the police to call the police to call the police to call to to to the police. to to the police. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the police the police the police. the police. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the tho. tho. tho. tho. thus. thus. thus. thus. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. th been dead if you'd waited two days to call. That being said, she's definitely lying about what happened. It honestly sounds more like she fell asleep at her a fair partner's place and concocted that bogus excuse to cover her ass.
Starting point is 00:38:15 Someone said, I think your fiance is getting railed two towns over, my guy. Oh my guy. Oh my guy. My guy. Listen my guy. I think your fiance is getting railed. Yeah. And I think you sent the cops the next morning to check if she got railed correctly. Yeah. Good on you, my guy, my guy.
Starting point is 00:38:36 Was she there for only 20 minutes? Stop, Ellie. Okay. We have an update. Of course. Wow. I think I'm watching a movie. So, all right.
Starting point is 00:38:49 Because women can cheat too. Yeah! First of all, thank you to those of you who offered kind words and solid advice. This update is likely to disappoint some of you as it does me. My fiance and I have been fighting solidly since before I posted my last thread. It's been exhausting. I called her out on her obvious lie and she fumed at how awful I was for calling her a liar. From then on, it was as if she was falling down a smooth well, desperately clawing and
Starting point is 00:39:15 grabbing it anything she could to blame me for. As she went deeper and deeper, I'm not a perfect man, but in this particular situation I was an angel so she had nothing to grab on to. I did a lot of soul searching, and I made a call that most of you will hate. I decided to bury the hatchet. I love her very, very dearly. I had no proof of a lie, and I wasn't too concerned about what she was really up to anyway. Our relationship is open, so even if she fucked around, I'm, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, and I, and I'm, and I'm, and I, and I, and I'm th th th th thi, and I'm, and I'm, and I'm, and I'm, and I'm, and I'm, and I'm, and I'm, and I'm, and I th. thi, and I thi, and I thi, and I thi, and I thi, and I thi, and I, and I thi, and I, and I, thi, and I the the the the the the the the the the the the thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. that that th that th that that that that that that that that that that that, that,. Okay, that's okay. She still fought with me though.
Starting point is 00:39:46 The fight continued to the point where she broke up with me, but not really, which was a common tactic she had used before. I called her on it and she fought with me still. I asked for space for a night so I could sleep off the exhaustion and she got upset and told me I was neglectful and selfish for not going to her and making it up in person and making up in person. I am stupid, I am aware of it. Even through all of this, I was apparently able to believe that what she said in emotion wasn't really her talking. Today I was having lunch. Money had been, has been tight lately for some reason, weird,
Starting point is 00:40:20 so I flipped through my wallet to find my credit card, which was missing. Well, you see where this goes. She had stolen it. She cited our desire to join lives together and merge finances and that when I lent her my wallet once, she took it so she wouldn't have to bother me by asking again. This credit card is mine, under my name and for emergencies only. She was using it for the last month and a half. While she has been decent enough to pay back some of it, there was still a $1,500 balance on it that hasn't been paid. She says that it's hers just as much as mine and resents me calling her a thief. A lot of the uses were spent at ATMs for cash withdrawals, and some interesting ones at the casino. Those of you who guessed gambling were probably right on the money. At that point, I admit I lost it. I am a very very very very very very, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. I'm th. I'm a thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the, the, the, the, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, the, and, and, and, the, and, the, and, th. th. the, th. th. th. th. th. th. the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the the the the the the the the the, the, the the, the the the. the the the thea. thean, thean, thean, thea. thea. thea. thea, the. th money. At that point, I admit I lost it. I am a very calm person, but there was only so much denial of reality that I could take. It's still blurry, but I said a lot of horrible things to her and am in the process of evicting her from my life.
Starting point is 00:41:14 I am canceling everything that is in my name, that she is her and she has trashed. Apparently I can handle lies, cheating, and secrets, but who knew theft was my line? Learning experience. Now thinking back, I can identify lots of sketchy shit that my love goggles blinded me to. But there's a pretty strict character limit. You know, gambling addiction is it also fits so perfectly into that story that I did not.
Starting point is 00:41:39 I had no idea. To be fairer the the the the the the fun little surprise. But you know, also in my mind, like, not for him, but yeah. Like, cheating to me, like, obviously we talk about cheating in regards to like romantic and sexual cheating. Cheating to me is also just a matter of like living, like living a life that you're not communicating with your partner. Like that is, it's more about the lying aspect and going off and gambling and not telling your partner I'm like that's cheating like you're going like that's hard because that seems like an addiction yeah and that's oh it's it's also a devastating addiction yeah yeah I was a endless well of
Starting point is 00:42:20 an addiction that is very well as he described but like really she sounds like a horrible mess. I mean it's sad but also he's... But he's recognizing, now he gets to recognize all the flags like, oh I gave her the car, she trash it, she's on my phone line. Yeah, and also like, you know, this stuff like even with an open relationship, like not communicating and lying and like disappearing and then making them feel bad is still not acceptable, you know, they still got to call it quits on that.
Starting point is 00:42:52 So I'm glad he's recognizing it and getting out of there. Wow. Yeah, that was a wild ride. Yeah, I was really, I feel bad for him too. I feel bad for him too. Well, it sounds like she has serious. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii. thi. thi, thi, thi, too. I feel bad for her a little bit. I do feel bad. Oh, well, it sounds like she has serious issues. Because that also fits with gambling addiction, where when you're accused, you're gonna be like, hey, fuck you, whatever. Sad, but-
Starting point is 00:43:16 I thought for sure she was bone in that guy. Me too. Well, he wouldn't have cared about that. Well, well. Well, well. Well, well. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that's, that's, that's, that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's, that's, that's, that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's, that's, that's, that's, that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that's that. that's that. that's th. that's that's th. that's th. that's that. that's that. that. that's that. that's that's that. that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's Yeah. As he said. And that's why the cheating is that. It's that it's like, it's just deception in any form. All right, next story. Here we go. This is from True Off My Chest. So this is like a confession someone's making. Oh, boy.
Starting point is 00:43:35 I wish my husband would cheat on me. Oh, honey. Oh, do you think she cheated on she cheated on him and she wants him to cheat on her? Or even worse, she's bored. All right, we got two predictions. That is worse. Here's a, there's a predictions. All right. I, a 28-year-old woman have spent every day for the past year wishing my 27-year-old
Starting point is 00:44:03 husband would cheat on me so I had a valid out. Oh. Ouchy, wowcie. I hate being married. My husband would rather spend time with his brothers and parents than with me. We've been at his parents' house for the past three weekends. Once we leave there, he gets on video games with them until all hours of the night.
Starting point is 00:44:23 I haven't been to bed with my husband the the their their their the until all hours of the night. I haven't been to bed with my husband in weeks. Sex is not existing in my marriage right now. It's not just about the sex. He complains about me all the time. To my face and behind my back, I've overheard him telling people that I'm annoying or that I nag a lot. I don't feel like I ask more than any other wife. I don't get th th th th the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the to ask the the the the the th w w waqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqq. the the to to to ask. thom. thom. their. their. their. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the him to pick them up or to make dinner. I asked for him to help clean up the house and to help me put one of the kids to bed. He only willingly put one
Starting point is 00:44:51 of the kids to bed. My house hasn't been clean in months. He just told me, the other one, what happened at the other one? It just like, to to the. to be.

The man also refuses to take care of himself. He complains when I cook because I'm trying to cook healthy meals and he doesn't like vegetables. He won't go to the gym with me but instead insists on playing video games. Obesity runs in his family and I'm trying to, I'm trying my best to encourage a healthy, I to encourage, I encourage, I encourage, to encourage, to encourage, to encourage, to encourage, to encourage, to encourage, to encourage, to encourage, to encourage, to encourage, to encourage, to encourage, to encourage, to encourage, to encourage, to encourage, to encourage, to encourage, to encourage, to encourage, to encourage, to encourage, to encourage, to encourage, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thea, thea, thea, he won't talk to someone or get on medication. It doesn't matter how I try to encourage him. He would just rather suffer. All this to say, I don't feel like it's a good enough reason to get a divorce. I'm unhappy in my marriage, but it can be fixed.
Starting point is 00:45:36 Both parties be willing, of course. He's just not willing.

At this point, it wouldn't even hurt me that much. He also says, I was raised extremely religious, leaving without a good reason, i. He cheating is very frowned upon. I guess I still have that pounded into my head, and that is why I don't feel like my reasons are good enough.
Starting point is 00:46:01 This guy is not going to cheat on anyone. He is on his video games. Yeah. He's, you know, playing with elves, you know, he's not just dead than anything. Oh my God, is it the end of the post? This makes me depressed. So, uh, we have comments here. Being extremely unhappy with a partner
Starting point is 00:46:17 that is not active in your marriage is a totally valid reason, to get to get to get to get, to get, to get, to to to to thi. Someone else said, as someone who was in your position and dealt with it for four more years, please don't wait for a valid reason. Your reasons are valid, move on with your life. I spent four years unnecessarily miserable. Someone else said, why do y'all get married in the first place? File a no fault divorce. She responded, being raised Mormon, we never lived together before we got married. Beyond that, we were pushed into marriage really fast. We started dating officially in March
Starting point is 00:46:45 and were married in October. We had dated in high school, so I felt like I knew him. It was definitely a rushed decision. Had I live with him before we got married, I never would have married him. God. That's tough. She needs to divorce him. She does. And I also get, so she probably worried about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about, the, th, th, to, to, so, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, to, to, to, to, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, to about how people are gonna view her, and she's that moral dilemma, you know,
Starting point is 00:47:08 if you're raised in that, I can see being tough, but like, dude. And she's gotta hire that escort from the other story. Yeah, and have her pop over and do five minutes and then out. And then head over to pop belly to get a milkshake. I think, I think, I think, I think, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I think, I think, I think, I think, I the, I can the, I'm the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, I the, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, th, I the, the, I the, the, the, the, the, the, thean, thean, thean, thean, thean, thean, thean, thean, thean, thea, the, the, there's another thing here where it's like where like women especially in like religious cultures like sometimes will only feel like they could do something if wrong has been done by them. Like she wants him to do wrong so she could stand up for herself instead of just like you know I
Starting point is 00:47:38 also think I also there's probably an element there too that I think is true that you know if she divorces him like people I think in society do like oh she th th th th th th th th th th th th oh oh oh oh oh oh oh th th th th th th th th th th th th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. tho thi thi thi thi thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th.

Starting point is 00:48:28 Wait, what? But this is the cheating episode. Does she have a second wind? Wend? Um, well, there is an update. And it's called Second Wind. There's an update. It's a short update, so I don't know what happens here.
Starting point is 00:48:45 I decided to try to talk to him today about how I was feeling and ultimately packed me and the kids up. I'll be staying at my moms for an undecided amount of time. Therapy around here is either very expensive or very hard to come by, but we both agreed to give it a shot. I know it's weird to need to need to need to need to need to need to need to need to need to need to need to need to need to need to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the to to to to to give to give to give it, the to give it, to give it, to give it, to give it, and to give to give it, and to give it, and to give it, and to give it, to give it, to give it, to give it, to give it, to give it, to give it, to give it, to give it, to give it, to give it, to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the to me, the the the the the the the to me, the the the the to me, to me, the the to me. to me, to give you the extra push, but thank you for giving it to me. I genuinely didn't feel like I deserve to leave without a good reason. I've been told, all men are like this, so I've just dealt with it. Whatever happens next is for the best. Okay, that's awesome.
Starting point is 00:49:15 Is there another update? No, there's not. But we'll keep an eye out. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to. th. to. th. th. to. th. th. th. th. th. to. th. th. to. to. to. th. to. to. th. thi. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. the the the the th. the th. the th. th. the. the the. the. the tode. tode. toda. toda. toda. toda. toe. toe. to. to. to. to'm not upset about that if they're going to like seek professional health and like really try to really try. Because he's not, look, I don't like anything of what he's doing. He needs to like help out. It does suck how accepted it is that men just don't do anything. Yeah. But I understand maybe he's going through a lot of mental health crisis, but they need to to to to to to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to tho??? to to to to be to be to to to to to to to to thi. to to to to th. to to to to to to th. thi. to thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. the. the the, the. the. the. the. try. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. through a lot of mental health crisis, but they need to try to fix things.
Starting point is 00:49:46 They need to work on things together, and he needs to be a willing participant in that. Yeah. Especially if they have kids, like, yeah. That's, that is where I start to feel, I don't feel different. If there is a serious issue, it's like, yeah, get, get, get, the, the, the hell out of that relationship. Something like this, it's like when you do have kids, I get the like, well, like we should try. But if they try and he still doesn't, then it's like, well, you have no choice. Sad.
Starting point is 00:50:13 Well, I hope they work out. All right, next one. Am I the asshole for laughing at my brother's tate. I guess it's cheating involved, maybe? This is a pretty cut and dry scenario. It's a 32-year-old man. My little brother, who's 25, has been in a string of relationships since he was young enough to know what dating was. On several occasions, the relationships ended because he was caught cheating with another girl. These are just the ones that I know about, there could be more. In fact, his current girlfriend, who's 19, was the other woman from his previous relationship. He, I'll call him Danny, still lives with my parents,
Starting point is 00:50:46 and I headed over on the fourth for barbecue. When he reached out for a hug, I noticed his arm was super red and he showed me his brand new tattoo that he had literally just gotten. In huge words, it said, loyalty in cursive. Where I might be the assel is that I kind of laughed as soon as I saw it and didn't try to hide it at all. It wasn't a dramatic laugh. He said what's so funny and I just said his tattoo was really ironic. He got pissed and stormed off to his room and didn't join my parents and die plus our sister for dinner. I told them what happened and they said I was being an asshole and my sister said people are allowed to change. I personally think he's acting like a child by locking himself at his room
Starting point is 00:51:25 and that I shouldn't be blamed for a 25-year-old storming off. Dude, that's ridiculous. That reaction makes me think he's probably definitely still cheating and gonna cheat. This guy sucks. No, that guy sucks so much. He's like loyalty, love death, room just like, you guys are so mean. It's so funny how consistent that shit is, like people who project that stuff of like, like, it's like the, it's like the, it's like the pastors who are like specific on a certain
Starting point is 00:51:52 topic. And then they get caught. Why is that? Why is that? Why is that? that's a tatte that's athat said honesty. And then we'd be like that's kind of funny and she'd be like, oh and walk away. Yeah, it's because people like get mad people judge other things and others. Yeah, when they're judging themselves. Yeah but she doesn't suck so she would get that and she'd like how funny. She'd be like honesty.
Starting point is 00:52:16 But he sucks because he's insecure about it and can't, that's that's crazy. Exactly. There was someone there there say I'm gonna keep it very vague who would on Facebook be very Judgmental of like other people in their relationships and like openly talk shit and she had been on Mori povich Like she she it's like it's like what? Like do you like? Like do you like people know who you are? You are the father? But that's what people do? People do that shit. Oh, I know they project what they judge in themselves? Yeah? Yeah? Yeah? Yeah? Yeah? Yeah? Yeah? It? It? It? It's? It's? It's? It's? the? the? the? the? the? the? the? the the their? their? their? their? their? their? their? their? they? they? they? I? they? I? their? I? I? they? I? I? I? they? they? they? they? they? they? they? they? they? they? they? they? they? they? they? they? they're? they're? they're? they're? they're? they're? they're? they're? they're? they're? they're? they're? they're? they're? they're? they're? they're? they're? their? their? their? th. th. th. th. th. to th. their their their their their their they're they're they'rethat shit. Oh I know. They project what they judge in themselves all the time. It's so true. It's wild. Yeah the comments, not the asshole, and it is ironic. Someone else said, I'm sorry, but not the asshole. Someone who cheats hardly gets to be upset that someone laughed at them for tattoo the word loyalty. Another commenter said, that that that th is is is is th. th. th. th. th. th. thor said, thii, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thate, thatu- thate, thate, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, their their their their their their their their their their their their their their th. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, th. Yeah, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. Yeah, thi. Yeah, thate. Yeah, thateeeeeeeeeeateateateateateateateate. Yeah, thate. Yeah, thate. Yeah, it's so loyal to cheating. Someone said, loyal to him pee pee pee. All right, here we go. Okay. This is on relationship advice. 21 year old guy.
Starting point is 00:53:12 My girlfriend, who's 23, is currently working a food truck at a music festival this weekend, and I think she's cheating on me. I'm losing my mind. My girlfriend, Stella and I have been together for a year now. I love her so much it's stupid, and this situation has brought such a crazy amount of anxiety. I had a full panic attack yesterday because of it. She had the opportunity to work on a food truck this summer, which has allowed her to get into a few festivals for free, and I hate it so much. One of the guys she works with is an attractive dude who's in his late 20s and I'm convinced the thrante this current trip is my girlfriend, another girl about the same age, the older guy, let's call him John, and the couple that owns the truck slash business. We ran into John in public once and
Starting point is 00:53:50 Stella introduced us, but the way they looked at each other made me feel so uncomfortable. She lit right up when she saw him and now they're at this festival and all five are sharing a tent te. And it makes the the their their their their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th th their, and their, and their, their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, their, and their, their, their, their, their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th. th th thr-s, the tr-s, tr-s, tr-s, tr-s, tr-s, tr-s, tr-s, tr-s, tr-s, true, their, their, their, their, tent together and it makes me sick. Before she left, I brought this up and she reassured me again and again that it's nothing at all and she's there to work. When he picked her up to drive to the festival, I helped her carry a bag and he didn't even get out of the car to talk to me. Just gave me a measly, hey dude, how's it going? Well, she got into the passenger seat, pissed me off. She also seemed so off when she hugged and kissed me goodbye in front of him. Yesterday I was texting her and she barely ever replied. She basically ignored me all day, and she basically ignored me all day and it made me so sick. My friend told me she's probably cheating on me based on her behavior. She ended up texting me in the evening before bed, but it's the same deal again today. Bery replying at all and she spent the night in the tent, which made me nauseous to think about. I didn't sleep a wink. I'm absolutely convinced she's cheating on me.
Starting point is 00:54:46 I don't trust her behavior at a music festival, nor do I trust the people there, especially John. I feel so insecure and scared that she's going to cheat on me. She has a couple more food truck weekends to work at other events, and I don't want her to do her her her her her her her her her her her her her her her her her her to do her her her to do her to do her to do her to do her to do her to do her to do her to do her to do her to do her to do her to do her to do her to do her to do her to do her to do her to do her to do her to do her to do her to do her to do her to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do her to do her to do her to do her to do her to do her to do her to do her to do her to do her to do her to do her to do her to do her..... to do her to do her to her working the truck is fucking with my mental health so she stops? How can I get her to stop talking to John? How can I know for sure she's cheating on me? Okay, buddy. You're being controlling.
Starting point is 00:55:13 Yeah, I, it's like, it's like, like, it's like, thiiiii. It's like, if you're feeling this way, you need to get out of this relationship, because to, to, to, to, to, to, to, their, to, their, their, to, thi, thi, to, thi, thi, thi, to, thi, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to to to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to to to to, to to to, to to to to to, to, to, to, to to, to to, to to to to th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, to to to to to tooo, th toooooo, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, to to to to to to to ththis. Like, that's her. He's in such a bad place. That's her job. Like, it's like, how can I get her to stop working and stop leaving the house? It's like, um, you don't. Yeah, like, a lot of this, and obviously we don't witness these events. We're hearing him hi him talk about this. A lot of this feels like perception and not reality. And like her casualness makes me like be like, yeah, there's no proof of anything. Yeah. You're just a very suspicious person. Now, could it turn out she's cheating?
Starting point is 00:55:50 Sure, because like you never know. And you never know how it escalates. Like it could have, right? Like, you always didn't think about like the way it starts in the beginning of a relationship where like he could have very helpfully been like, this is starting, to to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, to... to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. this is starting to make me feel a certain way, right? And that's like valid and allowed. Yeah. It's once it gets to an extreme place where a partner is demanding something of another in order for one to be happy, healthy and sleep well.
Starting point is 00:56:14 That feels a little demanding and like controlling. But yeah. Yeah, I think he's's he's overthinking it personally. And I just, this level of trust is not gonna get there. He's admitting like, I don't trust her there. It's like, well, you don't trust her, so you shouldn't be in a relationship with her. Like, then you're not, you've got to work on that.
Starting point is 00:56:38 Maybe you shouldn't be in a relationship at all. He's 21. It's one, it's one, it's one, it's one, it's one of those things where it's like, you need to work on this or you need to walk away. So got some comments here. This is funny and it's true. You think she's fucking him in a tent with five people in it? A music festival sounds like a pretty logistically inconvenient place for them to be doing it. During the day she's working, during the night there are others literally inches away. Plus some of what you regard as evidence sounds frankly unhinged.
Starting point is 00:57:06 Not getting out of the car, getting into the passenger seat, giving you a hug first, get a grip. Maybe lose the friend who is winding you up so ti. That's true. So true. She's like, dude. Bro, they're in that of food truck is it? It's a potbelly truck. Oh! Oh they're boinking man. Someone else said this woman is working at a high volume festival. I guarantee you she has absolutely no time to text you
Starting point is 00:57:33 during the day and she is likely crashing hard at bedtime. There was no need for him to get out of the car to greet you. They were headed to work. You're his co-worker's boyfriend not the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the to. I. I. to to to to to the the the the true. true. true. to work. to work. th. the. the. the. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. the. tre. tru. tru. tru. the. the. the. the. the. the the. th. None of the signs that you've mentioned sound valid. This sounds more like personal insecurity. Have you been cheated on in the past? I said, no, but my parents' divorce was because my dad cheated on my mom. I have a half-sister in France. I've never met.
Starting point is 00:57:55 It fucks with me. You have a half-sister? Go to fucking Paris and have a tah. good time and meet your half-sister. No, I've never been cheated on, but I'm halfway through Breaking Bad. What? Like, what dude? Also, she probably loves her co-worker because he doesn't fucking try to control her and she probably gets a rest.
Starting point is 00:58:15 Yeah. But sometimes when one parent has a kid that you've never met, do you know how that fucks with you? What are you saying? I'm making it. Oh. I have a half-sister in Paris, France. Go fucking live. I, I, no, I've never been cheated on, but like I own a pair of jeans that I'm still breaking in and they just won't break in. It's just so far, France.
Starting point is 00:58:42 It's so, that just feels like very, I can't get a ticket right now. So someone else said, If you don't trust her, then break up. You cannot put her in a cage to put your mind at ease. That is exactly how I feel. He made an edit here, adding some justification to my feelings. I know this sounds a bit controlling,
Starting point is 00:59:00 but she never wears makeup. And I th this th tha tha tha tha tha tha th story that she's wearing makeup. I do think this girl is way out of my league and she's my first girlfriend. I don't really know what I'm doing, but I don't like when she does that and she knows that. Also, John was in a relationship up until a few days before this festival, so he's probably trying to rebound as guys to do.
Starting point is 00:59:18 Obviously my girlfriend my my my my my my my girlfriend my girlfriend my girlfriend my girlfriend my girlfriend my girlfriend my girlfriend my girlfriend my girlfriend my girlfriend my girlfriend my girlfriend my girlfriend my girlfriend to to th people are crazy girls have their tits out and guys are maniacs why would this situation be any different I love that this is his edit to say he's not controlling when it sounds like he's even more controlling and I think his friend is winding the friend is the friend is the friend he's like dude they're listening to Corinne Bailey Bray and they are grinding girl put that record on and they are grinding. Yeah, it's also makeup. It's a music festival. She knows I don't like music and she knows I don't like makeup. So what? Make up, she put makeup on.
Starting point is 00:59:50 Oh my gosh, that woman put makeup on. And also having a half-sister is such a scary thing. Because is she related to me or not? And I can't get a ticket right now to go see her. And look, I, I, I, I, I do, especially like, back when you're 21, I relate to the feelings of just like, oh shit, like, she, she, I, I'm feeling like, like, I'm feeling like, I'm thea, I'm, like, I'm, tell.
Starting point is 01:00:12 And, like, I'm, I'm, t. Yeah, you've got to be like oh, that's a me problem Yeah, and also like I feel like yeah, I am coming a little hard for him and but I'll say like like I like I think they are like like like it. Like on social media it does like things especially music festivals always feel like look like more fun and look more sexier than I think they are absolutely like it looks like? Yeah, like, it looks like. It's like? th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I'm like, I'm like, I th. I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I the the the the the the th. I the the th. I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm th. I'm th. I'm like, I'm th. I'm like, I'm th like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm wearing clothes, but they're actually all just sweating a shit ton. They're hot. And they're like all close, but they're all like, because it's outside, you know what I mean? They all smell like dog shit. Social media adds so many layers to this. And especially when you look up the guy she's with, I also have, I've spiraled personally when someone I'm looking at is or like when a partner's hanging out with someone who's just out of a relationship. I've fallen down the spiral. You have to not be obsessive. You can't. Yeah, you can't. You really can't. You have to get over that.
Starting point is 01:01:12 It's the, he's just very controlling. He just, yeah. If he just admitted like, I'm really insecure. I think I'm not hot enough for my girlfriend and I'm getting worried that I'm losing. I think if he communicated that to her that would be huge if he was just like hey I just I just want you know like I don't I don't deserve you like yeah you're so awesome but God I do I do overthink it's just so annoying that have you have you dated someone that because we're supposed to do that and then it's a threat when we do it it's just like we can't win we can't to we can't to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to th to th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th the I to the. to to the I to the. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th.

Starting point is 01:01:47 I like that. Okay. All right. Here we go. Okay. So this is going to be a doozy. This is going to be a lot. Am I the asshole for being very harsh? It's a 36-year-old woman. My son, who's 14, has been acting out a lot. I'm trying to give him appropriate consequences, etc.
Starting point is 01:02:05 But his father, slash, my ex just undoes everything I try to implement. My ex, a 36-year-old man, doesn't care if our son does anything as long as it doesn't affect his athletic abilities, and it's created a cool dad and evil mom dynamic. Anyways, I had a mini vacation plan for the weekend. tho thi that th that th thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi, thi, thi, thi-s, th-s, th-s, th-s, thi, th-s, th-s, th-s, th-s, th-s, th-s, th-s, th-s, th-s, just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just, th th th th-s, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. thi. thi. th-s, th-s, th-s, th-s, th-s, th-s, th-s, th-s, th-s, th-s, th-s, th-s, th-s, th-sowned house in this beach town and my son and stepdaughters love going down there. The thing is, I got a call from my friend saying that her daughter is a mess because of my son. He asked the poor girl out and when she said yes, he laughed at her and said some really cruel things. I was horrified. I asked him about it and he rolled his eyes and he rolled his eyes and he said thi. thr-in, thi thi thi thi thi thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thin, thin, thin, thr-in, thrown, thr-in, I tho, I the thin, I thr-in, I tho, I th th the, I, I th th th th th thi, I, I, I their, I their, I their, I their, I their, I their, I their, I the the the the the the their, I their, I, I their, I their, I their, I their, I their, I thr-in, I thr-in, I thr-s, I'm thr-s, I'm thr-s, I'm thr-s, I got, I got, thr-s, I got, thr-I got, I got a thr-I, I got their, I the. When I tried telling him that these jokes hurt, he told me I was being ridiculous and that his dad and stepmom would think it's funny.
Starting point is 01:02:48 He then said that he wishes I was as cool as his stepmom. I told him that I'm his mother and that my first priority is being his mom, not being cool. I then told him that we're no longer going to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to told told told told told told told told told told told told, told, to to told, told, told, told, he., that he that he too, too, th. th. th. th. th.

He the th has to apologize to the girl and if he ever bothers her or any other girl again then the consequences will be a lot worse. I then proceeded to drive him to the girl's house and made him apologize to the girl in front of her mom. He said he was sorry and I also said it. I bought her a necklace and took the money for that from my son's allowance as well. The girl was a lot happier and her mom said she appreciated the apology. While driving back home, my son started yelling at me and said that that was the most embarrassing thing he's ever had to do.
Starting point is 01:03:29 I told him to imagine how the girl felt when he did that to her in front of everyone. He just said whatever and was like, can we go to the beach now? I said no, we can't and we won't. He started yelling again and said that I was thua, I was I was that I was thua, I was that I was thua, I was that I was thua, I was thua, I was thuumi, I was that I was thuan, I was thuan, I was thi, I was tho, I was tho, tho, tho, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, that I was that I was that I was that I was that I was that I was that I was that I was that I was that I was that I was that I was that I was that I was that I was th, th, thi thi thi thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, that I was thi. that that that that that that thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi, and that if the girl accepted the apology, then why am I making things so difficult for him? He also said that since I embarrassed him, this was the least I could do. He later called my ex who told me that I was a major asshole for being so harsh, and he more or less repeated what my son said. I don't think I'm the asshole in the slightest, but I see how I'm being harsh, just wanted some perspective because my ex, his wife, and my son are begging me to reconsider and relax. Am I the asshole? No. No. No, I think that she is totally getting ganged up on by them and if her son is doing
Starting point is 01:04:17 that, then he is just going to get worse towards women and and anyone, anyone. I mean, he's yelling at his, like, I don't know, that makes me pissed. Yeah, that's, I just went through a dark hole, like, thinking about if I got married, you know, if I got like divorced and you know. You're with someone who was that bad. And the stepmom was just like, yeah, if I can just make fun of her own. I know. It's it it it it it it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, that's like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, th. that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that, that's, that's, that's, th. th. crazy in my head. It's like crazy.
Starting point is 01:04:45 That's psycho behavior, because that's like, like, that's like intentional, planned out, like shittiness. Yeah. A lot of comments here. Not the asshole. Way to be an awesome parent and hold your child accountable. I can definitely see why you split with from the ex, like in what world is it a joke, to screw with another person's emotions like that. I would have done the same thing if I had kids. She responded, thank you. I'm really trying. I love my son and I don't want him to grow up thinking he
Starting point is 01:05:12 can do whatever he wants to people. My ex, he actually cheated on me and that's why we split. But his attitude was definitely a huge factor as well. I'm not thired, I thired, I thired, I, I, I, I thired, I, I, I's thired, I's thired, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, thi, I'm not thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi's thi. thi's thi. thi's thi's thi's thi's thi. thi, No, I'm just surprised. Oh, God, all of this must hurt for her. I know, I feel this one deeply. Not the asshole. Your ex probably taught him it was okay to treat women less than. There was a post yesterday, I think, about a single father who bought his young daughter flowers from a florist just because his colleagues saw him. expectations. Your ex is like that colleague who doesn't understand how to treat women correctly and he's blaming men who do treat women with respect for making getting women difficult for men like him. I'm guessing it has something to do with the reason he is your ex. He's also teaching his son not to treat
Starting point is 01:05:55 women correctly. You did the absolute correct thing here. Oh my god in the indie movie version of this we're being told both stories at the same time, her marriage with said ex and the story of the son and and they're both happening at the same time and while she's driving him to the kid's house to apologize we're seeing the way that the son treated the kid's treated the kid similar to the dad treating her and she's like I won't raise parallel my ex this way. and it. and it. and it. and it. the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the th. th. th. the th. th. the thi. the thi. the the thi, thi. thi. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th.

Oh my God. Okay. Oh God, I have a feeling it's gonna break my heart. I think so. Yeah. Yeah. Hi, I just wanted to make this post before I move on.
Starting point is 01:06:57 I kept my word, no beach house no matter what my ex, his wife and my son said about me. thoe to the too toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, and too, and too, and too, and too, and too, and too, and too, and too, and too, and too, and too, and too, and too, and too, and to me, and to me, and to me, and to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, toe, too, toe, toe, too, too, too, though I know my son loves me and that he's just angry, hearing him say that he wishes I wasn't his mother over and over hurts a lot. Jesus Christ. Whoa! On Sunday, May 1st, after my breakdown, I told him that he can stay with his dad for the week. My ex was going to have him for the weekend anyways. So yeah, Sunday evening I took my to tode. I the evening I tooen tooen the evening I tooen too. I too. I too. I too him the too him. I too him. I too him, I took my took my took. I took. I was took.

I wanted to try one more time to make him understand. Tell him I love him and that's why I'm being so strict. I took him to a park we used to go to just him and I. I usually took him there when my ex and I would fight and he would leave us for days to see his sister. Oh my God. He was pretty moody the time and called me crazy for wanting to eat to eat eat eat eat eat eat eat eat eat eat eat eat eat eat eat eat eat eat eat eat eat eat eat eat eat eat eat eat eat to eat to eat to eat to eat to eat to eat to eat to eat to eat to eat to eat to eat. to eat. to eat. to eat. to eat. to eat. to eat. to eat. to eat. to eat. to eat. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the to to to to to to to to to to to on the grass, lull, but he complied. I asked him if he remembered the spot, and he said, yeah. I then talked to him about everything. I also reminded him that there is nobody in this world and beyond that I love more than him.
Starting point is 01:07:51 He was silent the entire ride to his dad's house and I thought I fucked up until we arrived and he said, I love you too, mom. It was so hard to keep to keep to keep the to take a break from driving home because of how emotional I was. Monday and Tuesday were calm and nothing out of the ordinary. Wednesday night was different. My husband and I were out while the girls were with my in-laws when I got a call for my son. He was quiet but asked if I could pick him up. I called my ex who just told me that our son was being dramatic, but I was welcome to take him. It was obvious that he and his the the the the the the the the the thoe, tho, tho, th, tho, th, th, th, tho, tho, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thi, thi, thr, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, th. th. th. th th th th thi, thi, the, the, to, the, to to the, to toe, toe, too, too, too, toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. too. t t bad argument about something. I asked him what happened since ex kept telling me it was nothing.
Starting point is 01:08:26 Turns out my ex cheated on his wife, his wife confronted him, and brought up the fact that he cheated on me. My ex proceeded to insult me and call me names to her. My son heard everything and put it t home, my son collapsed my arms and kept saying, he was really sorry for everything. I managed to calm him down, and he fell asleep on the couch. I was stuck with him in the most uncomfortable position all night, but all I cared about at that moment was my son. I didn't know I could love and care for someone this much.
Starting point is 01:08:58 I never planned on having children, so throwne, th. this was a huge concern of mine. But the love I have for my son is crazy. He's a bit awkward, which makes sense. 14-year-old boys don't normally burst into tears and not let their mothers out of their grass, but it'll be fine. I know it'll be a very long road, but it'll be worth it.
Starting point is 01:09:13 Thanks for being supportive. I'm so deep expecting that ending. I thought it was gonna get worse. Thought the sun was gonna like kill someone. That makes me want to cry. I thought he was gonna cheat on everyone at school. What? That's your indie movie talking. That's not real.
Starting point is 01:09:36 That's, that's your, like, that's like season two of this indie. No, it's not the indie. No it's not, no it's, oh my god, people are crying in the room. Oh my god, no that's not the, that's not the indie movie. This is the indie movie. Oh, Ann. No, I'm thinking, I'm doing too much Reddit stories because I was blowing it out of the water. I was like, what's the worst version? But it's so, it's so unbelievably sweet because it's like, if she didn't have have that that that that that that that that that that that thively thively thively thively thively thively thively thuble unbelievably thathea thathea thatheatheatheat's so unbelievably thatheat's so unbelievably that's so unbelievably that's so unbelievably that's so unbelievably that's so unbelievably that's so unbelievably sweet that's so unbelievably sweet thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. him, he wouldn't have understood that she was actually just trying to teach him morals. And what he had to learn the hard way of like, oh, this is what you were trying to teach me, like, yeah. And like, what she was trying to teach him, wasn't cool, right? And what the other household stood for, the cool thing wore off, and he got to see, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, like, like, like, the cool thing, wore off and he got to see it.
Starting point is 01:10:25 Like literally. Well, it was a facade. He was like, oh, this is a facade. This is all fake. That his dad was just cheating and didn't respect women. And also by proxy doesn't care about his son. Like really, like, yeah. Yeah, calling him dramatic, calling people crazy. Again, projecting, I mean, his dad must be a th pain. That's what I'm thinking.
Starting point is 01:10:46 Oh my gosh. Dad's a piece of shit. And also like, I guess the stepmom knew that the dad cheated on her. And then was shocked when he cheated on her as well. It's like, yeah, I mean, you can see a pattern there. Yeah, I mean, you can see a pattern there. That's what's so crazy about cheating, and deception, and all this stuff. It's just that it's like, it is, there's a scary generational part where it's like you grow up watching people lie or you don't and you see how that is navigated in the home.
Starting point is 01:11:12 And that's like touchy and hard. And the way that mother handled it was fucking bad ass. She like pushed past her pride and her pain and just said what she felt which was like I love you, you know this is what's important and I don't think if she did that I think that he would have felt really alone and like not called her. I think she opened up the door for him to be vulnerable. Well she showed she cared so much like you know she cares about him but she's and she's really trying to communicate with him and she's like even that's w-like. That's like like th. Like th. Like th. Like th. Like th. Like th. Like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. he, he, he, he, he, he, thi. he. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. trying to communicate with him. And she's like even, that's what I mean like how it's like it works for all ages. Like like stopping him at school from doing that is like stopping the habit from it becoming.
Starting point is 01:11:54 Like that's what I mean like and her having that talk and making him do that really uncomfortable thing probably stops that uncomfortable feeling and making that a comfortable thing that his dad probably started young, you know what I mean? Like, it's just... Yeah, I mean at 14, hopefully, hopefully he will not turn out like his dad. Like because of that really influential parkhead. I was so deep into that, of course, make him sit on the grass. And have that moment that he'll remember for the rest of his life where your mom is like, I want you to know that that doesn't feel good. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:28 And I want you to remember how awful it felt when we drove all the way back and you apologized. Yeah. And like, yeah, because the dad has no empathy. Yeah. Doesn't ever do that. Because no one took the time to feel like that. Because she she she she she she she tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. to feel to feel to feel to feel to feel to feel tho. to feel to feel to feel to that to to to to to to to to to to to feel to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. the. to the. the. the. to to the. thea. the the thea. thea. tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. to to to to to feel like that, because she fell awful when she did that. It's kind of what I talked about earlier, like, if you don't reconcile, if you don't look inward and deal with these things that you do, you do kind of lose your soul. Yes. And you pass it on.
Starting point is 01:12:52 Yeah. And you teach that behavior. And it's a behavior. they who loses in this story. Oh absolutely. He's gonna end up with nobody. He'll be 70 and there's gonna be nobody in his life. Correct. That's just what happens. And his son is not gonna want to go visit him or hang out. There was one comment here, former 14-year-old heat here, divorced home and all the fun stuff. Great job, Mama. I'm 36 now with a 1.5 year old of my own, one and a half year old of my own. My mom fighting my ignorance, bullheadedness, peacocking, and all the other nonsense I put
Starting point is 01:13:33 her through has made me a much better man. Boy do we have our blowouts. I am so close with her now. talk with her daily. grandson. She recently moved across the country to be closer to us and I couldn't be happier. I can't say how smooth the rest will be for you, but I have faith you and him will have a stronger bond for all of this. Yeah. Okay, this makes me want to cry. Uh, don't don't let the damn break. Uh, like I felt it welling and now I'm like, uh. Yeah. You know, you know, it's, you know, it's. that's so it's so it's so it's so it's so it's so it's so it's so it's so it's so it's so it's so it's so. That's so it's so. That's so. That's so.

Because I think that moms feel like they're not doing the right thing probably and they're like, ah!
Starting point is 01:14:11 Especially like, I feel like women when they have sons, like both my sisters have sons and when they had sons, they were like, I don't know what I'm doing. He eats like a whole chicken a day. He eke a thii. And he broke his ear. I didn't know you could break an ear. My nephew broke his ear when he was little and my sister was like, I don't know what to do. He broke his ear and he's just running over the house eating chicken and I don't know. And like I think it's so validating to know that maybe you won't see the results now, but years later you will. You will. You will.
Starting point is 01:14:45 You will. Yeah. Look, I mean, this has been wild. I'm glad a lot of these ended well to a degree. You know, like, at least the people finding out that their partner's cheating and they get out of it and stuff. The real losers are all the people who cheated. I mean, yep. I th th th th th th th th th th th th th think th th th th th th th th th th th th th the th the the the the the the the the the the the the theate theateateateate. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the, the, the. the. thean, thean, thean. thean. thean. thean. thean. thean. thean. thean. thean. the. mean, yeah. I think there's a lot of lessons I feel like. It's like if you're cheating, you're going to get caught.
Starting point is 01:15:07 Like it's hard to get away with they and they also always end up doing it again. And yeah, like, I also I think if you're just a very suspicious person, if you're, if you are too anxious and suspicious and you're certain, even if you have proof or not, it's like, oh, maybe I shouldn't be in this or I need to reconcile this. And I think if you are someone who's cheated, or is actively cheating, and you go like, oh, I won't do it again or something, I do think it's something that needs to be really, really looked at,
Starting point is 01:15:36 reconciled, probably talked about, and that, you tak about, tak, tak, tak, tak, tak, tak, tak, tak, tak, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to, or is actively, or is to to to to to to to to to to, or is actively, or is actively, or is actively, or is actively, or is actively, or is actively, or is actively, or is actively, or is actively, or is actively, or is actively, or is actively, or is actively, or is a, or is a, or is a, or is a, or is a, or is a, or is a toa, or is a toa, toa, toa, toa, toa, toa, toa, toa, toa, toa, toa, toa, toa, toa, toa, toa, toa, toa, toa, toa, toa, toa, toa, toa, toa, or is people can change. Absolutely, that is something you can figure out. But it takes work, and it takes admitting, like, oh, I have to really. You have to confront your demons. You have to acknowledge that you are disrespecting and hurting people. And a lot of cheaters just don't want to believe in that, because it probably will suck to acknowledge how much pain you've caused. But you have to have to have to have that that to have to have that that to have to have to have th, you have to have to to their to their their their their, their, their, their, their, to, their, to, to, to, their, their, their, to, to, to, to, to, to, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, their, their, thi..

You don't get to, you don't probably get to move on from that without dealing with that
Starting point is 01:16:11 first. Well, your demons, they never go away. You have to, once you can confront is like, I love you and I don't want you to be hurt. And you're like, listen, I love you so much, I don't want you to be hurt, it wasn't. It wasn't a Panera, it was a pop belly.
