Episode with two stories, first part. I hope you enjoy this story. My partner frequently teased about being interested in her acquaintance's wealthy partner, and I eventually lost my temper, resulting in a fallout with everyone. I, a 27-year-old male, have been in a relationship with my partner Michelle, who is 24 years old. About a year now. She's not the most materialistic person which is why I was a little taken aback when she took to this new habit of joking. about our finances a couple of days ago. We moved in together into a apartment two weeks ago since it was cheaper to just live together instead of one of us traveling to see each other

every day. And ever since that happened, our finances have also merged because we're now splitting the rent, groceries, and other stuff. She initially would joke about how she wouldn't need to worry about paying for anything if she'd started dating a millionaire and we'd live happily ever after and I just laugh it off because I know she was joking and who wouldn't want to be a millionaire, as a joke, though. But then, recently, her friend Claire started dating this guy called Thomas and he's insanely rich. His dad is a movie director and his mom's a producer, so it's a pretty killer life for them and he himself is training under his dad to make his acting debut. He's a really good-looking guy, too, and I know for a fact that he's exactly my girlfriend's

type since he looks like all the celebrity crushes she's had ever since she was a child, merged into one human being. In short, he's a 10 out of 10. And I'm not usually an insecure guy, but this guy did make me think about myself really hard because the first time that Claire introduced us to him, Michelle wasn't even able to take her eyes off of him and kept staring at him with an open mouth like in a cartoon. I actually had to nudge her to remind her that this was her friend's boyfriend and her own boyfriend was standing right beside her. That incident definitely was a hit for me, and after that day, my girlfriend started making jokes about how it'd be better if she just started dating Thomas instead of me and how much easier

life would be then. I managed to dismiss it as a joke the first couple of times, but then she started saying it more often and it just got to me. I was already feeling insecure about myself because of the way she'd reacted when she'd first met him and now, this. It didn't help that I genuinely did think that this Thomas guy was way better than me. He was richer, better looking, and even smarter than most of us. It was hard not to feel jealous of someone so seemingly perfect and even more so when your own girlfriend kept reminding you of it. Three days ago, Claire asked us to accompany her on a double date with her and Thomas and while I'd initially tried to make up excuses and reasons to stay out of it.

it, she wouldn't take no for an answer and I ended up going. Yesterday, we met towards the evening for dinner and drinks. And the whole time that we were there, my girlfriend kept glancing at Thomas. Claire didn't seem to notice it, but I did. At one point, he excused himself to take a call and Claire started telling us about the bracelet that he bought for her on a whim. It looked crazy expensive and I knew that I couldn't just buy something like that for Michelle on a whim and would probably have to save for months. I was praying and hoping that she wouldn't make any comment about it, but she did and yet again, said how she envied Claire and said she wished she was his girlfriend instead. She was laughing while saying it and so was Claire, but I couldn't let it

slide and got annoyed. I guess this is where I might have been the odd because instead of addressing it later on in private, I snapped at her and said that if she likes him so much then maybe she should actually be with him instead. After saying that, I left the restaurant we were at and took a cab back home. There, I packed some of my clothes and essentials and headed straight to my cousin's house who happened to live nearby. My cousin and I have always been close and so when I explained the situation to him, he readily agreed to let me stay at his place until things were sorted out with my girlfriend. After I cooled off, I did realize that I probably shouldn't have reacted that way and thought things through but it was too late for that.

And my cousin reassured me that I wasn't crazy for feeling insecure because Michelle was literally going out of her way to compare me to her friend's boyfriend and that wasn't okay. I'd never done that to her and never would because I know it might be hurtful. I wouldn't even do it as a joke. And it's not like I'm not trying to be a good boyfriend to her, but my resources are limited and I don't have rich parents like him either. But I'm making the best of what I have so that she doesn't feel unloved or unimportant to me. I take her out for dinner every chance I get and buy her gifts almost every month just to remind

her what she means to me and she does the same for me as well. The difference is that I'm grateful for it, but I'm not sure anymore that she feels the same way for the efforts that I put in. I was hurt and angry last night so I turned off my phone and went to sleep. This morning, I woke up feeling like absolute crap and decided that before heading to work, I'd stop by at my girlfriend's apartment and try to talk to her. She hadn't texted or called even once after my outburst last night and honestly, I couldn't even blame her. So I went to meet her, but it didn't really go well.

She was cold towards me and barely even said anything until I brought up what had happened last night. Before I could even say anything, she cut me off and told me that she wasn't willing to discuss anything unless I apologized to her and her friend for the way I behaved first and foremost. I was kind of taken aback since while I did intend to apologize, I also wanted her to apologize for what she'd been doing. It was obviously not entirely my fault for reacting the way I did since she'd been the one pushing me, even if she didn't intend to. And yes, I did owe her friend an apology as well, but she didn't need to boss me around for that. It really rubbed me the wrong way and well, things weren't good in the first place so then they just went from bad to worse. I flared up and said to her that I'd apologize only if she did first for the way that she'd been making cruel and insensitive jokes at my expense.

We went back and forth for a few minutes, playing the blame game but eventually, I gave up since I was getting late for work. I told her before leaving that what she'd done was out of line and disrespectful and she said that she could say the same for me as well. I left for work in an awful mood and spent the rest of the day in the same way. It's almost been 24 hours since the incident and we're still in a deadlock. I'm not enjoying any of this, obviously. I just want my girlfriend back, but I also don't want to be the sucker who apologizes even when it isn't his fault. I've heard loads of my friends complaining about how their girlfriends expect them to just say that they're sorry even if they're not in the wrong for the sake of the relationship and I never understood why. I might be a little egoistic for saying this, but I don't think it's fair to apologize if you're not.

not actually at fault. And as for Michelle, she hasn't even pretended to be sorry for what she'd been doing and even while we were arguing, she kept bringing up the fact that she joked about stuff like this earlier as well and I'd laughed along with her so it didn't make sense for me to get mad at something like this all of a sudden. If she didn't notice the fact that I wasn't laughing at her so-called jokes about wanting to date Thomas anymore then that's on her and maybe she should pay more attention to how I react. But yeah, all that being said, I still love her and don't want to fight with her anymore. So I'm here to ask for help because I genuinely don't know if I'm in the wrong here or not. So here goes, I'd offer snapping at my girlfriend in front of her friend after

she kept making jokes about wanting to be with said friend's boyfriend. Update 1, after reading some of the responses here, I decided to go ahead and apologize to my girlfriend first. I realized that I was actually letting my pride get in the way of our relationship and that wasn't healthy. That's not to say that whatever Michelle had been doing was healthy either, since she'd been pushing me to my very limit with her inappropriate jokes. It's been two days since the last update and after mulling over it for one day, I finally apologized to her this morning. I headed up to her apartment with a bouquet of pink tulips, her favorite flowers, and a box of chocolates. She's really into rom-com so I knew for a fact that this would work. Her face lit up as she

saw me standing there and it didn't even take her a second to apologize, saying that she'd already been planning to visit me at my cousin's place today so that she could apologize in person. She admitted that she was being incredibly stupid and insensitive for joking about something like that and promised never to say such things again. She also said that while she did think Thomas was objectively cute, she really wasn't into him because she couldn't imagine any other guy in her life apart from me. And I owned up to my fault as well and said that I should have told her that her jokes about Thomas had been bothering me instead of pretending to be nonchalant and then snapping at her out of the blue.

Moreover, her obsession with finances and stuff really stemmed from the fact that she'd grown up dirt poor and could barely ever afford to have nice things and she'd worked really hard to get to where she is today so while she tried not to show it in the initial months of our relationship out of fear that I'd write her off as a gold digger, material things, and money did mean a lot to her. And once we'd moved and together, she thought that she could finally talk about that side of hers as well, even if it was through stupid jokes, so that she'd ease me up to the fact that money was important to her. Moreover, she'd also been thinking about quitting her job,

which is why money was all that was on her mind. It explained a lot of her behavior, truth be told, and she understands that she was going about it the wrong way entirely. But yeah, things worked out pretty well for the both of us and I'm happy that I went ahead and put my ego aside to win her back. I'm hoping things work out well now. Update 2, I'm back again because things have become a little messy. Not between me and Michelle, thankfully, but Claire and Thomas. Three days have passed since my girlfriend and I made up and on that same day, I also apologize to Claire for the way I acted in front of her and she accepted it as well. But I guess she must have told Thomas about the whole outburst and treated the situation as a joke and that guy actually thought my girlfriend was

hitting on him secretly or like, this was a sign from her that she wanted him. So today, Michelle showed me a text from Thomas asking her out on a date in the evening. She looked abashed and obviously, she'd said no and told him that she was already with me and intended on staying with me, too, so he didn't stand a chance. And that whatever she'd been saying had been nothing more than a joke. She wasn't actually into him or anything. She's really just upset about this whole thing because this means that she'll have to tell Claire about what he texted her as well and expose him for trying to cheat on her with her own friend. She's blaming herself for this entire situation since none of this would have happened if she'd not made those stupid jokes in the first place and as much as I hate to say it, it's probably true. Although the fact that Thomas is trying to hit on her is not really her fault since if he was a decent guy then he would have just ignored it all or maybe just refused to hang out with us anymore and we would have respected that as well.

She's probably going to tell Claire in a while but before that, she's just apologizing to me profusely since she feels like she messed up big time and whatever she'd said earlier wasn't enough. Obviously, I've already forgiven her but I still feel bad that she's having to go through this at all. I mean, this is just a bad situation to land up in. I'm hoping Claire takes it easy on her and dumps the boyfriend instead now. Update 3, she told Claire a couple of minutes ago and, man, she totally lost it. I could hear her yelling through the phone even though she wasn't even on speaker at the time. She screamed at Michelle for several minutes about how she was not only ruining her own relationship, but now hers as well and that she'd always suspected that something of the sort was going to happen

someday. She told Michelle off for trying to steal such a catch from her and accused her of actively sabotaging our relationship so that she could have Thomas all to herself. Obviously, Michelle didn't say a word because she knew that it was all happening due to her insensitive jokes but I, for one, thought the sabotaging bit was taking it too far. I didn't say anything because it was between her and her friend or else I might have. and this is honestly just such a complicated situation that I don't even know who's right and who's wrong. This just sucks for her. Update 4.

Two days have passed since Michelle told Claire about what her boyfriend had tried to do and while Claire did block Michelle and me everywhere, she still hasn't broken up with Thomas, which is none of our business, I guess. But what is our business is the fact that she's been telling everyone that Michelle was trying to hit on Thomas right in front of her when we were out on a date and when the poor guy decided to tell us. tell her to stop because he was uncomfortable, she got mad at both of them and I was just a silent spectator. Now I don't know why she cooked up such a ridiculous story but I guess it makes sense because in the real story, she'd actually been laughing along with Michelle when she made that joke and that wouldn't go down well with our friends if it was sympathy that she was looking for. People have been texting Michelle and me for gossip almost constantly and even though

she'd accepted and owned up to her mistakes earlier, this is not okay. She didn't do anything of the sort that Claire has been suggesting so neither of us understand why she should take the fall for it and not her catch of a boyfriend. Truth be told, I'm not even sure she has genuine feelings for him. If she did, she wouldn't have laughed it off when Michelle made that joke like I didn't. And she certainly wouldn't have said that he was a catch that Michelle was trying to steal. Claire has always had an affinity for rich guys and we don't have an issue with that, very honestly, but the fact that she's trying to portray us in an awful light while she herself. is the saint. That just doesn't sit right with me and I guess at one point or another we're

going to have to set the record straight, even if it means going public with whatever Michelle said. And she's not afraid of acknowledging the fact that she messed up by cracking that joke either, very honestly. She's ready to acknowledge it and even apologize for it, but she shouldn't have to pretend to be sorry for something she hasn't even done. And neither should I, because several of our so-called friends have started taking digs at me as well because of whatever Claire's been about us. That I should learn how to control my woman as if this is the 50s or something. Don't understand why I'm at fault in any way here but whatever, as long as Michelle tells everyone what actually happened I know we're good to go. I just want this whole thing to be done

with. Update 5. Hey, guys. A few days ago, Michelle posted the real story online, and by now, I think most of the people who Claire had been talking crap about us to know the truth. Michelle did own up to the fact that the joke she made was crass and insensitive and obviously in bad taste and even apologized for it to Claire, Thomas, and me publicly. I'd obviously already forgiven her already so that wasn't a big deal. With that out of the way, she did add that while she was apologetic for what she'd said, she was also really pissed off about whatever Claire had been saying about her and her relationship since not one word of it happened to be true.

She even said that it was her boyfriend who had approached her because he'd taken that joke way too seriously and Claire had laughed along with her when she'd first said it, so this innocent little act was all a lie and a stupid one at that since she had the screenshot of Thomas' text to prove that she was telling the truth. Not just that, she also added that Claire had referred to Thomas as a catch and she definitely wasn't joking so people could make of that whatever they wanted to, but she thought it was important for our friends to know all the facts before they started attacking us for no reason.

Obviously, a lot of people still thought that it was all her fault for saying whatever she said in the first place, but then some of them were a little more reasonable and agreed that Claire didn't have any business gossiping about her and spreading absolute lies like that. As of now, our friends are pretty divided, and as much as we'd like to say that we don't care or that it doesn't affect us, of course it does. Everyone needs their friends, to a certain degree, at the very least, and we've always been extroverted social beings. What really sucks is that some of our friends have completely cut us off and have chosen to side with Claire instead. Now, I don't know what's going to happen since Claire hasn't unblocked us anywhere yet and hasn't even responded to any of our posts and it seems unlikely that she will either. But I just hope that people can see who's lying to them and pretending to be innocent and who's brave enough to accept their fault.

instead of spreading nasty lies about other people. As far as we know, most of our friends think that Michelle was out of line and I'm just a fool. And while both of those things might be true, at least none of us are liars. Michelle's been upset about this whole thing ever since she fought with Claire and rightfully so since they've been friends since their college days so this is not good. I'm at my wits end right now. Update 6, one week since the last update and fingers crossed. This will be the final one. For starters, Claire and Thomas broke up.

Thomas dumped Claire, to be more specific. As it turns out, she'd forced him to block us everywhere so he hadn't been able to see the posts that Michelle had put up regarding Claire. But some friend of his showed it to him and I guess the fact that she'd called him a catch offended him because he felt reduced to his bank balance so he just left. Not only that, Claire had also been making him pay for every single thing and had racked up a huge debt on his credit card that he'd given her for emergency use. The catch thing just confirmed for him that Claire had more feelings for his money than she did for him. And he hadn't been that into her in the first place, as had been proven when he tried to take Michelle out as well so it wasn't much of a heartbreak for him as it was for Claire. She's been hysterical and has been blaming it all on us and accusing us of sabotaging her simply because, we were two broke jokers who were jealous of her perfectly happy relationship and couldn't stand it.

She even went so far as to say that our whole fight at the restaurant was staged as well so that she'd let her guard down and end up telling Thomas everything which would eventually lead to this. I mean, I wish we were the evil geniuses that she's making us out to be but truth be told, none of us had seen anything coming. But she should have, given the fact that she'd been misusing her boyfriend's credit card. We've been hearing about it from some of our more talkative friends since our old friends are still not talking to us, even though they now know for a fact that we weren't lying. In their eyes, we're still the culprits who ruined our own friends' happy relationship out of jealousy. Sadly, they can't see that Claire herself is responsible for this,

but that's on them. We don't feel that's sad anymore because honestly, we're way too busy now with our own lives. Michelle finally quit her job and she's starting at a new company that her uncle asked her to join for a much higher salary and position, not just because she's his niece, but also because she's just that qualified and dedicated. I'm happy for her, honestly, and I'm going to throw her a party to distract her from whatever's been happening for the past couple of weeks. God knows we could do with a bit of a distraction, and even I'm in the talks for a promotion

at work right now, if I go by the office gossip. So hopefully that'll happen by the end of this month as well. Ah, well, at least this whole Claire thing is done and dusted. That's the end of the first story. Let's begin the second one. I hope you enjoy this story. I believe, I feel like I am developing feelings for my spouse. I am unsure about how to proceed.

This is a complex and melancholic circumstance. Approximately four years ago my wife and partner of of eight years passed away due to complications after the birth, very rare, of our second son. I was deployed at the time and completely devastated. After flying home I felt that nothing would make me happy again. My sons are great, now six and four, but overwhelming, so I asked a sister of one of my marine buddies, Cass, to help out. She had been friends with my wife, but not great friends, and she agreed in exchange for a place to stay. At the time, Cass was only 20 years old and in quite a bit of debt in fault of her extremely abusive ex-boyfriend, who she had finally

left about three months earlier. During the first few weeks of her helping out with the boys, she asked to borrow money to see a doctor due to shaking hands, no insurance. I happily obliged, she was an angel, doing all of the cooking and cleaning and keeping my young family together. It turned out that she had developed some sort of neurological disorder, probably brought on by repeated abuse. At the time it seemed simple. I had good insurance, she needed health care, I never thought I'd be able to move on from my wife, and she was afraid of intimacy. I agreed that I would marry her, but keep our platonic relationship. She promised not to burden me with her debt, and we had a prenuptial agreement and all. I know that this is fraud of the government, hence the throwaway, but

we were both so damaged and needed somebody, if not intimately. The past three years have been about as good as expected, if not better. Cass is great, better than great. She keeps the house spotless, had food ready every night when I get home, and has been working overnights as a baker and almost has her debt paid off. Her condition has improved greatly, also, due to the great medical care she was able to receive. With the boys, she is a saint, she tells them about their mother, shows them pictures, takes the places for fun, and even taught them how to read. Of course the six-year-old

just finished kindergarten, but my four-year-old is going to be the smartest kid in his class next year. Sometimes the four-year-old calls her mommy, but she shows him and reminds him that name is Cass and that mommy is the angel whose picture is above the fireplace. Once her debt is fully paid off, the kids are in school, and she saves up a bit of money, she is going to go into a nursing program. Our relationship, still platonic, but very caring. I've cried on her shoulders more times than I can count, and she's done the same. One night I was very stressed out, and yelled at her about something pretty inconsequential. She had taken my sons to see Santa without me, she, of course, became quite frightened.

But we worked it out and I even offered to pay for her to see a counselor. She didn't, that was two years ago, and we have had little fights ever since, but have been to work through them. She seems to understand me whenever I'm hurt, upset, or angry, and is calming in a way that I can't explain. The problem, Reddit, is that I think I might be falling for her, I've been noticing little things. Her scent, her smile, her laugh, the way she smiles with her eyes when she sees me, how much my boys love her, not to mention that she's gorgeous, hardworking, and one of the strongest people I've ever encountered. A few nights ago I almost kissed her. A few nights ago I almost kissed her after we had put the boys to bed, and her hugs goodbye have started lasting a little

bit longer. The other day she was taking a nap in my bed, she was washing her sheets, and I wanted to join her, not have sex with her, just lay with her and hold and kiss her. I don't know what to do, or how to even bring this up. It's been four years since my wife died. I can only think of a quote from a song of fire and ice books, in which a character says that when the sun has set, no candle can replace it, meaning that since his true love has died, nobody could replace him. That's how I used to feel, but there have been days where my thoughts have been occupied with Cass, and I haven't even thought about my wife, I feel bad about it, and I still miss her, but I never thought that I'd be able to move on. I feel guilty and disloyal. At the same time, I want her, not just sexually or physically,

I want to be romantically intimate with her, not just as friends, I don't know how to bring it up, I don't want to scare her or make her uncomfortable. But this is becoming more difficult than I could have ever imagined. I was thinking about asking her to get dinner, just the two of us, and bringing it up, but what if she refuses? How can I gauge her interest? If it means anything, the other day she was having a hard time with the boys, they were restless and being out of hand, so I brought her home some of her favorite flowers.

She was extremely giddy and gave me another lasting hug and a quick kiss on the lips. I was taken aback. but she pranced around, finishing dinner and putting the flowers in a vase. What does this mean? TL.D.R. After my wife died, I married a good friend's sister for healthcare benefits, and now I feel as if I'm falling for her dash hard. What should I do? Edit, fuck it. It's been an hour on here and you've convinced me to tell her. I've called her favorite fancy restaurant and made a reservation.

Her brother agreed to babysit, and let her slash me stay at his place tonight if she isn't into it slash feels uncomfortable. She paid off her debt this morning, apparently, just just texted me a picture of the check, and next week is our three-year anniversary, so that is the prelude. I'm going to tell her a dessert, I'm nervous as shit, don't worry. I'll update y'all, because so many have demanded it so, update one I told my wife I loved her, May 30th, 2013, everything went amazing, just got home, love Reddit, will update Tom, time to go, make out with my wife, update two, I just spent it, the night snuggling and kissing my wife, warning, this is kind of adorable and even I still

don't believe it, May 30th, 2013. Last night was hectic as shit at first, our younger son had eaten, what he calls, a giant fuzzy spider and Cass wanted Tom take him to the hospital, even though he was fine, her brother, will call him Joe, told her that he'd take care of it, and basically forced her out of the house to celebrate getting out of debt, she really didn't seem like she wanted to go, at all, I became effing nervous, so we got to the restaurant pretty early, but luckily they had a table, she ordered wine, which was odd, because she hasn't drank much since she broke up with her ex. But I figured it was a time to celebrate, we made small talk for a while. But it seemed forced, and I knew that I had to tell her soon, so, before the entrees even came I said that I

had something to talk to her about, she didn't smile and told me that she knew, Joe told her, and my goddamn heart almost stopped, that fucker, I hurriedly told her that I was so sorry, I didn't want her to find out that way, I wanted to tell her myself, she shook her said, frowned, and said that it was okay. She just wanted me to be happy and that I deserved it. I told her that I didn't want to stress her out or make her uncomfortable, but I just needed to tell her and see how she felt, and that it was completely up to her. She gave me a look and said that it actually was up to me, and just to do what made me happy, she said that she was probably going to move out after her program ended, and promised to stay out of the way until then.

It was then that I realized something was a bit off, and asked WTF Joe had told her, she said that he told her I. Wanted to take her out to dinner to tell her that I had started developing feelings for a girl, and wanted to ask Cass if it would be okay if I asked this girl out, it was then I realized that Joe, had set me up for the most climactic pickup line ever to exist, our entrees came, I had shrimp and pesto yoki, and she had crab legs for you detail lovers, and I explained that. Yes, I had started developing feelings for a girl, I just didn't want it to mess up what we had, she said that it wouldn't mess anything up, she still loved the boys and would take care of

them in the house. I continued to then explain that I wasn't going to ask the girl on a date, though, and she asked, incredulously, why not, then I dropped my smoothest line I've ever dropped, because I'm already on a date with her, right, thanks Joe, because he must know about your plan movie and really wanted that line. She gave me this look that she gives my sons when they tell her things like I'm going to the mall. By myself or I have a girlfriend named Tammy, then she looked away, smiled and shook her head and asked really, I nodded and told her that I cared about her more than anybody else alive, other than my sons, that I loved our family, and that I had fallen in

love with her. She then took a drink of wine, rolled her eyes, and said about Fengi time, Alex, and I'll never forget what happened next. Maybe it was a faux pa. But I leaned across the table and kissed her, spilling her wine. But neither of us cared and we kissed for about a minute, before she told me to get off her before her crab legs got cold. This was joking, but not. You'd have to know her. After leaving the restaurant we got ice cream and sat around and kissed some more. before heading home, Joe was sitting on our couch watching one of those VH1 dating shows with Shti eating grin on his face, and Cass ran in, screaming at him that he ruined everything and that she was going to have to move in with Mom now. We let him believe it for about five

seconds before bursting into laughter. He shook my hand and told me that the boys were sleeping and left. I picked Cass up and kissed her and carried her to my room, where we, well, made out for like two hours and snuggled the Shty out of each other. She is a ready for anything else, but emphasized yet, I'll give her all the time in the world. At one point the youngest son came in because of a nightmare, and brought his dog, a golden retriever puppy, and claimed that the doggy was scared so we, of course, let him in, I woke up early to make everyone breakfast, and of course, deliver, and am about to go and kiss my wife goodbye, and ask my boss for the second part of the day off so that I can spend more time with her while the boys are at school, preschool. I'm really sorry I have

haven't replied to everything, I was a little busy, but that you all for the support, Update 3 very quick update. My wife and I are doing fine, Dash May 31st, 2013, but I'm still. Unsure how to provide proof, I've lost the receipt for the restaurant and didn't pay with a card, and won't post pictures for obvious reasons, such as years of defrauding the government, but I will deliver and find a way, I promise, as a man of my word, haven't I always delivered so far. And to those of you who are talking about a second wedding ceremony, we just kissed for the first time two nights ago, overly attached Reddit, finally, thank you to whoever gave me gold,

I spent about $25 last night buying Joe beers, but next time, please use that money for real good, take a vet to lunch, learn CPR, I don't know, but again, many thanks to you, I promise I'll update again in the future. But don't be angry if it isn't very often, I've been a little busier than normal, Cheers. Update 4M-28, Everything with my wife, F-24, that I married for insurance reason, then fell in love with, was going well, until last night, June 25, 2013, TL, DR of the My Life, my wife died four years ago when I was deployed, and I, Alex, 28, male, ended up marrying the girl, Cass, 24, female, who was taking care of my children and keeping up with my house while I was grieving, I did this because she was having medical issues stemming from past domestic abuse

and had no insurance, apparently I. Can't post this as an update because of some rule, it's fine, I'd advise anybody to look through my past submissions, I don't think I can post them on here, if you are interested in what happened about a month ago, but apparently this is a different issue. Things were going very well except I started developing feelings for her. I was afraid of scaring her, or making her feel unsafe, but Reddit convinced me to take the plunge. Now I'm happily dating my wife, hey everybody, I hope your workday. Is going well, my day has been crazy, everything has been going wonderfully lately, though, it was somewhat strange at first explaining it to our friends and family, but most of them had already caught on, including my sons, who act as

if nothing has changed. I'm pretty sure the little fuckers knew the entire time, anyways, last night I came home and Cass was out of it, dinner was burnt, which is no big deal. I can't really cook well or anything, but it's out of character, and she was drinking. Lately, only one or two glasses of wine, I asked her what was wrong, obviously I was concerned, and she told me that her ex-boyfriend, shithead, 30, male, got parole last week. I was flabbergasted, since she should have been able to testify at his parole hearing, I believe, apparently the crime that he was incarcerated for was unrelated to the abuse, which I had always assumed was the reason, but Cass had been, one, assured it would put him away for a decade at least and, two, had been

far too afraid. To testify against him or press charges, apparently he'd been arrested for this felony, and when he was being held, he asked her to post bail, but instead she asked my first wife for help moving out and moving on, I don't know what to do, I don't think that we have any legal ways to put him back into prison, she knows that she should have gone to the police and is guilt-written and upset about it now, I know that she's going to be safe, because if he tries to even contact her, I'll take a legal. Recourse of action to make sure that he doesn't so much as touch her, I've taken off work today, but promise that even when I go back, I'll have my buddies stopping by throughout the day, but I don't know how to make her feel safe. I've contacted my lawyer about

filing a restraining order, and he said it shouldn't be too hard, but she's a mess. I just don't know how to make her believe that she's. I doubt this piece of shit will come around. But I know what I'm going to do if he tries, update. 5 I'm slash 29 had fallen in love with my wife F. 25, CEP 3, 2014. Hey, Reddit, I first of all would like to apologize for not keeping you guys updated. Dash, I've honestly just been pretty occupied with life lately and last night I had trouble sleeping.

I was just browsing the internet when an article came up about Reddit and I thought, I wonder how those nice people are doing. Then I signed in and realized that a lot of you really care about how my life is going with Cass. The answer is pretty well now. Things got tough for a while when her ex was released from prison last year, though she was so afraid that he'd contact her until he did. I remember that night like it was five minutes ago. Somebody rang our doorbell and the oldest son answered. He asked for Cass. She told the boys to go upstairs and gave me a look and I knew, but she didn't look scared. The bastard apologized and begged for forgiveness. and asked for a second chance, she was so brave, I wanted to.

Kill him but she told him no and asked him to leave, he did, and he tried to contact her a few more times before we got an order of protection against him. Last I heard he moved upstate to live with his dad, or something. Around this time her brother Joe also got into a really bad car accident and ended up having to move in with us for a while. He's a great guy and one of my best friends, so we didn't mind. But it was a stressful time, about seven or eight, Months ago we finally, ahem.

Consumated our marriage, I guess you can say, The boys are doing great and are really happy. Cass got a pretty good job, although I think she's working too much overtime, and loves it. We're expecting our first child in February and couldn't be more excited. You could say that life is pretty good. I'll be around for another few hours if you guys have any questions. Final update I, M-S-29, fell in love with my wife.

F-S-25, It's a Girl, April 29th, 2015, technically she was born early. March, but I didn't want to make the title it was a girl. Sorry for not updating. It was a pretty rough pregnancy, and Cass has put her foot down about wanting more dash I guess three is enough, but everything turned out great. Little Teresa was 21 inches and nine pounds at birth,

and as bald as I am, she's way easier than the boys were. She hardly ever cries and is the most photogenic baby ever. Our youngest son is completely smitten, and always tries to help dash it's less cute than you. Think. Joe is also doing okay. His back is still bothering him, but he's dating a girl who actually went to my high school, two years younger than me, though, he's pretty happy with her,

and we're all very happy for him, other than new fatherhood. Not much to update. I'm home watching the baby today while Cass it out, so I should be around for a while.
