Starting point is 00:00:00 Today's episode is sponsored by Stitch Fix. I'm a straight dude and I'm very stereotypical in the sense that I do not like shopping. I hate to shop for clothes all the time, but the process can be so tedious. Lines, going to different stores, picking out clothes, but I don't know what I want. That's why I'm personally a big fan of Stitch Fix. With Stitch Fix, you simply have to go through a one-time quiz to give your size, style, and budget preferences. From there, a professional stylist who actually has a sense of taste in fashion, unlike me, will pick just for me pieces and send them to me and also send outfit recommendations and styling tips. I keep what I want and send back the rest. Easy peasy.
Starting point is 00:00:40 It's kind of like having your own personal stylist, except even better because I don't have to go see and talk to my own personal stylist. It's all online. Stitchfix is the best way to shop for clothes for people like me who don't like to shop for clothes. Make style easy. Get started today at stitchfix.com slash r slash.

Welcome to rslash Am I the Butthole where OP's girlfriend literally steals his leg?
Starting point is 00:01:25 Am I the butthole for asking my girlfriend to pay for a new prosthesis? I am a 24 year old guy and I had an auto accident over two years ago that resulted in a left leg knee amputation. I thought that would have been the end of my active lifestyle. I loved all kinds of sports as a kid and I still do. I had a very hard time adjusting to my new normal. My parents were able to get me a prosthetic leg that allowed me to get back to running and going on trips with my friends like we always do every summer.
Starting point is 00:01:53 The guys were planning an RV trip on the weekend. We'd already chosen a destination, which was spending some time out in nature to get away from stress. My girlfriend asked if she could come along. I told her, no, this is a guy's trip. I told her that all my buddy's girlfriends wanted to go too, but they were firm and put their foot down. She laughed at me for this. Then, she tried to convince me to let her come because she was feeling stressed out from being at home 24 hours a day. I already made up my mind. I wasn't going to ruin the trip
Starting point is 00:02:23 just because she wants to be on a guy's trip. I promised her a trip when I got back and she got upset and didn't like that idea. Later on, before I went to sleep, I took my prosthesis off as I do every night. This is my second prosthesis. I've already completed a wearing schedule during first year and had to get another prosthesis to accommodate any physical changes I had. I woke up in the morning and I couldn't find my prosthesis. I looked where I'd put it but it was gone. I asked my girlfriend who was doing heavy cleaning around the place and she said she didn't see it.
Starting point is 00:02:58 I was confused because it was near my bed. I asked her to stop being childish and playing games and give back my prosthesis because I knew she took it. She's a bad liar. She couldn't even deny it. She said that she wanted to hide it so that I won't go on that trip and leave her alone. I got mad at her for this. I was stunned to find my prosthesis hidden under an auto part in the garage. It had been damaged. It had been placed in a position that caused it to crack, and it was obvious that it no longer functioned properly. I mean, I could still wear it, but I couldn't put my whole weight on it because it would break.
Starting point is 00:03:36 I yelled at her and showed her what she did. She said she didn't mean it. I told her she did mean it because she was being childish and jealous over a trip. And now she ca- oh geez, she caused me $7,000 worth of damage. I told her she ruined everything, that she owed me a new one and that she needed to pay for a new one. She got mad and left. I basically had to use my old crutches. It felt absolutely horrible. I called the guys and told them I wasn't coming. It's been a few days. She's mad that I'm still asking her to pay for a new prosthesis and called me a butthole for not apologizing and preferring a plastic leg
Starting point is 00:04:15 over her. I had to call my parents today to tell them and they told me that she should at least pay for half of the expense of a new prosthesis since she damaged it and then I should reconsider my relationship with her. Have I been a butthole here? And if it's relevant, OP points out that they're from the Philippines. So your girlfriend is jealous, controlling, a liar, cheap, unapologetic and she stole your f**king leg! Cheap, unapologetic, and SHE STOLE YOUR F***ING LEG! I would run, as fast as you're able to OP, to the nearest exit and then sue her for a new prosthesis.
Starting point is 00:04:55 You get 0 out of 5 buttholes. I'm giving her 4 out of 5 buttholes. Am I the butthole for ignoring my wife for throwing away my late wife's videotapes? I have a daughter with my late wife and her name is Eleanor. Eleanor's birthday is coming up in two weeks and she's turning 18. Background. Me and my late wife, Chloe, had been dating since college. We got older and ended up getting married and after our wedding, she shared news to
Starting point is 00:05:20 me that she was pregnant and I was excited that we were expecting our first child. Since it was our first child, we bought a video camera and made little tapes and snippets of her whole pregnancy. Wholesome things such as just joking around or having lunch or talking to our unborn child through the camera. We made a promise to only show Eleanor the tapes on her 18th birthday. Fast forward two years after her birth. Chloe passed away due to a drunk driver crashing into her car as she was coming home from her mother's house. I was devastated from her passing and went into a deep depression and having to raise our two-year-old daughter by myself. My friends tried to get me to go out again and start back dating, but every time I did,
Starting point is 00:06:02 I felt like I was betraying Chloe. Years later, when Eleanor was 13, I met Wendy. We met at a gathering for my sister's birthday and we instantly hit it off. She didn't mind that I had a daughter because she had two kids herself and just went through a divorce. Two years after, we got married. Now we're back to the present. Eleanor's 18th birthday is coming up and I kept all the tapes for me to show her. Mind you, her mother died when she was just two, so Eleanor doesn't remember her touch or her voice. I was excited to show her the tapes and a week ago I was talking to Wendy about it and I noticed her expression going from happy to looking a bit uncomfortable. Wendy would always get uncomfortable when I talk about my late wife.
Starting point is 00:06:46 I don't say things like, why can't you be like Chloe? Or Chloe was only supposed to be my first love. But I talk about Chloe in a way to give my daughter a mental picture of what her mother was like. Wendy has always talked to me about Chloe and how it made her sad that she can never be like her. Chloe was a model who then started working on her fashion career. And don't get me wrong, she was a really beautiful woman.
Starting point is 00:07:10 While Wendy had two kids in college and isn't in the best shape, her words. I love both women how they are and I've never had a preference, but I feel like Wendy is gaining some jealousy towards Chloe. I told Wendy that I love her just the way she was, and she broke down crying. The next day after the incident, she came up to me and apologized for the way that she acted last night. I told her it was okay, and it's good that she felt comfortable to share her feelings, and I gave her a tight hug and a kiss on her forehead. She asked to see where the tapes were, and I showed her the box of video tapes of my
Starting point is 00:07:45 late wife in my closet. Things were going fine until yesterday morning. I was looking for the tapes because I wanted to put them in a prettier box for my daughter and when I went to go find them, the box wasn't in my closet. I looked everywhere to the point that I walked downstairs to see my wife laying on the couch watching TV. I asked her about the box and she told me she threw it away with a neutral expression. My heart dropped and I asked her what did she mean and she told me that I talk about her too much and that I need to move on with my life so she threw them away as a head start. I was fuming with anger because not only did she throw away what I had left of her, she threw away my daughter's big surprise. We quickly got into an argument and she noticed
Starting point is 00:08:30 how angry I was so she started apologizing. It got to the point that I started crying and locked myself in our bedroom. It's the morning and I'm writing this in my office, going through my computer, finding old files or any type of video of my late wife to give to my daughter because sometimes my daughter still cries that she never got to meet her mother and I really thought that it would bring her closer to her. I've been ignoring my wife for the past day and she's been texting me non-stop about how sorry she is, but I really just can't look at her right now. It's getting to the point that our mutual friends are texting me to accept her apology and get over it since Chloe died over 10 years ago. But I'm trying to ignore them all because they never had someone so close to them die. I'm
Starting point is 00:09:15 working on finding these files and I'm starting to think that I was overreacting. I don't know what to do and I really need help. This is a level of betrayal that not only would I not be able to consider getting back together with them, I would never be able to be in the same room with this person ever again. Your wife struck a grievous blow to both you and your daughter. I could see maybe forgiving throwing away the wife's tapes, but not the mother of my daughter's tapes. That's a whole other level of betrayal. I would dump her and not even feel the least bit bad about it. I'd kick her out of the house the same day. OP, you get zero out of five buttholes. I'm giving your wife four out of five
Starting point is 00:09:57 buttholes. Am I the butthole for refusing to get rid of my coffee table because my friend says it's cursed after what happened at a party? A few weeks ago, I hosted a little get together at my coffee table because my friend says it's cursed after what happened at a party. A few weeks ago, I hosted a little get together at my apartment. Nothing wild, just some drinks, music, and a few friends hanging out. The night was going great until my friend, Kayla, who's 23, had a very unfortunate accident. She had a little too much to drink, and at one point, she tripped over absolutely nothing and went face first into my glass coffee table. It didn't shatter, but she smacked her forehead so hard that she ended up with a huge bruise and a mild concussion. We took care of her, got her some ice, and she
Starting point is 00:10:38 laughed it off when she sobered up. But ever since then, she's been obsessed with the idea that my coffee table is cursed. She swears she didn't just trip, she says she felt something push her, like a force yanked her forward, guiding her straight into the glass. At first I thought she was joking, but she was dead serious. She keeps saying the table has bad energy and that it's trying to hurt people. She even went as far as to test it by making our friend Ryan stand near it while she tried to feel if there was a weird vibe coming off it. Ryan said that it just felt like a normal table. But now, Kayla refuses to come over unless I get
Starting point is 00:11:16 rid of it. She says I'm inviting bad luck into my home by keeping it and that my apartment will never have peace as long as it's here. The thing is, I love this coffee table. It was expensive, it matches my decor perfectly, and aside from Kayla's self-inflicted head injury, it has never done anything remotely dangerous. I told her I am not throwing away my furniture over one drunken accident, and she got really offended. She said that I was invalidating her experience and that I was choosing a table over a friend. I told her she was being ridiculous, and now she's barely even speaking to me.
Starting point is 00:11:53 A few mutual friends think that I should just sell it to keep the peace, but I feel like this is a stupid hill to die on. It's a piece of furniture, not a demon. Am I the butthole for refusing to get rid of my cursed coffee table? You know, it sounds like Kayla is the one who's cursed here, not the coffee table. The coffee table actually seems blessed because it didn't shatter and cut her face into a million pieces like it would have if this were a horror movie. Also, it could have potentially saved her from even worse harm because if the table
Starting point is 00:12:23 weren't there, then she would have fallen even farther and hit her head on the floor which you know theoretically would have caused more damage because it's a longer fall So this is a blessed coffee table if anything So OP I say keep the blessed coffee table get rid of the cursed friend I mean how much do you really want to be friends with someone who drinks a lot of alcohol Trips and then is, it must have been ghosts? Am I the butthole for not giving my coworker a ride after he didn't spot me one dollar at the vending machine?
Starting point is 00:12:54 I usually give my coworker a ride on the way back from work, usually driving five miles out of my way per day to drop him off at his place because he doesn't have a car. I've been doing that for about two years now and haven't asked for anything and he's never offered. Yesterday, I was at the vending machine and wanted a soda. I was short a dollar and I'd left my wallet in the car. I would usually go get my wallet, but it takes forever to wait for the elevators at my workplace, so I asked this guy if he could spot me a dollar for the soda. He straight up refused and said, just use your own money, man. I don't really give money
Starting point is 00:13:31 to friends or coworkers. Sorry. I was taken aback by that comment because I probably spent well over $1500 in gas over the past two years for this guy. And he can't even spot me a dollar just this once? I got pretty upset by that. And once it hit 5 o'clock, I told him I'm not giving him free rides anymore. He seemed upset and said that I was petty. Am I the butthole? Nah, I think he can use all that money he saved from not loaning out dollar bills at vending machines to buy himself a brand new car. OP, you get 0 out of 5 buttholes. I'm giving your entitled co-worker 1.5 out of 5 buttholes. Am I the butthole for refusing to give my pregnant ex-fiancee money after she left me for another man? Three years ago, my ex-fiancee, who's 31, left me for another man just a few months before our
Starting point is 00:14:23 wedding. Ouch! We'd been together for five years, a few months before our wedding. Ouch! We'd been together for 5 years and I was completely blindsided. She moved in with him almost immediately and they cut contact with me unless it was about splitting up our shared finances and apartment. I was devastated, but I feel like I finally moved on. Now out of nowhere she reached out. Turns out the guy she left me for dumped her after finding out she got pregnant. She's struggling financially and has asked if
Starting point is 00:14:52 I could help her out. Specifically, she wants money to cover rent. She says she has nowhere else to turn and that she wouldn't ask if she wasn't desperate. I have the money, I'm in a much better place financially and emotionally than I was back then. I put all my energy into improving myself after what happened, but I don't see why I should give her anything. Some friends are saying that I'm being selfish, but I don't see why her choices should be my problem now. Still, part of me does feel guilty. Five years is a long time time and I did love her. OP based on the title I assumed this was your baby in this woman's belly but she left you
Starting point is 00:15:30 two years ago and she's pregnant by some other dude? Nah. She's lucky you even picked up the phone when you called. Let alone give her thousands of dollars for free. Are you crazy OP? She shafted you once. You're gonna let her shaft you a second time? OP, you get zero out of five buttholes. I'm giving your cheating… well, technically I don't know if she's cheating, but come on guys. Come on. Isn't it obvious? Either way, I'm giving your ex two out of five buttholes. Am I the butthole for telling my boyfriend that he isn't entitled to my inheritance? My grandpa passed away a few months ago and I inherited a little over 4 million dollars from his estate.
Starting point is 00:16:11 I had no idea he had that much money and I was honestly not expecting to receive anything as I assumed that it would all go to my mom. After I got over the initial shock, I took the opportunity to finally quit my job, which I really hated. As I don't have any outstanding debts, and I can easily live off of $40,000 a year, I'm pretty introverted and I'm more than happy to stay at home working on art, music, other interests and gaming. Ever since I inherited the money, my boyfriend has been pressuring me to cover all the rent
Starting point is 00:16:43 and utilities, about $1200 a month for our apartment, and start putting money away into a joint savings fund. I would be happy to do this if we were married, but we're not. We've only been dating for a year and a half, and I would prefer to keep our finances separate. Despite not working anymore, I still pay my half of the rent every month and have started paying for a housekeeper to come in and clean a few times a week, so our apartment is nearly always spotless and looks great.
Starting point is 00:17:11 I told my boyfriend he isn't entitled to my money, and he said I was being selfish for expecting him to still contribute to the rent when I can easily afford to pay for the whole thing. Am I the butthole? Nope. Your boyfriend isn't looking for a life partner, he's looking for the whole thing. Am I the butthole? Nope. Your boyfriend isn't looking for a life partner. He's looking for a free ride. Heh, in both senses of the phrase. OP, you get 0 out of 5 buttholes. I'm giving your boyfriend 3 out of 5 buttholes.
Starting point is 00:17:35 Also, if you're worth 4 million dollars, why are you renting? Why not just buy a house? That was r slash am I the butthole and if you liked this content, be sure to follow my podcast because I put out new Reddit Podcast episodes every single day.
