Starting point is 00:00:00 What's behind the Dairy Farmers of Canada Blue Cow logo on your favorite dairy products? It's high Canadian standards, which means we meet 42 food safety requirements, we work with animal care experts, and work towards a sustainable future. That's dairy farming forward. That's the sound of unaged whiskey, transforming into Jack Daniel's Tennessee whiskey in Lynchburg, Welcome to rslashmi the butthole where OP's wife cheats on him and he's trying to get trip at TNVacation.com. Tennessee sounds perfect. Welcome to r slash mi the butthole where OP's wife cheats on him and systematically unravels his life. Our next reddit post is titled, I'm sure that my wife just cheated on me. I'm a 40 year old man and last night I think that my 43 year old wife cheated on me. We've
Starting point is 00:01:03 been married for 10 years, together for 13. She went out to buy some stuff for the home, which is weird, she hates doing that. And she went with a male friend that I don't know. She stayed out for several hours. It was weird because she spent the day getting ready like it was a date. And when she was gone, I grew suspicious and checked around the room and she had put on her sexy underwear meant just for our bedroom. I do all the childcare so I put the kids to bed. She showed up later and refused to tell me most of the details of the man that she was with.
Starting point is 00:01:36 And she told me that in order to stay in our marriage, she needed some time that was just for her. She only told me his first name. And when I thought back, I had seen that name pop up in her text messages for the last several months. Hold on, hold on, OP seems to have just breezed past it, but did she actually bring home stuff for the house? Did she go out shopping and then come back from shopping with nothing that she bought?
Starting point is 00:01:58 That's super weird! I feel like OP should have added that detail, but I'll continue. I didn't think anything of it at the time, because it's the name of a work friend that she has and they often need to reach out to one another after hours for big projects. I think that she's been slowly building up the courage to cheat on me, and over the last two months, our love life has collapsed to zero and she's grown extremely hostile without any reason given, seemingly out of nowhere. Last week she told me that she doesn't want to be married and it has nothing to do with
Starting point is 00:02:27 me. Before anyone says that I don't do enough as a husband, I do 100% of the child care, shopping, housework and I work from home, though she's the primary breadwinner. I'm emotionally available and mature and I don't have a temper. I stay relatively fit and I'm attractive enough. I'm not controlling. I don't object at all to her having male friends. But this screams affair. I'm utterly shattered and I feel like I'm dying. I don't even know how to talk to her about it. She's been so angry lately that
Starting point is 00:02:56 communicating with her is a nightmare. I want to divorce her, but that would break apart my kids home. If I file for divorce, would that make me a butthole? Then OP posted an update. My wife and I talked. She admitted that she had been talking to this guy for a while and she intended to have a sexual encounter but found him to be lacking so she decided not to. Apparently he had feelings for her and wanted a relationship so she talked with him, bought some of his art art and then left.
Starting point is 00:03:26 She's still going to hang out with him but she's not interested in him anymore, apparently. I asked if she wanted an open relationship and she said yes. I asked if we would ever passionately hug again and she said probably not. She said that she just doesn't want to be in a relationship with anyone or passionately hug anyone anymore, but that if she does decide to, she doesn't want to be in a relationship with anyone or passionately hug anyone anymore, but that if she does decide to, she doesn't want to feel caged, especially after her most recent disappointment, but she wants to keep our family together. So I have a permanent hall pass and I don't ever have to explain where I was or who I
Starting point is 00:03:59 was with. She said that's only fair and I agreed, and she wants the same. I don't want to force her to stay married or monogamous, and I don't want a divorce, so we're roommates now with a legally binding lifetime contract and joint finances. And apparently I'm now in an open relationship. It's a very sad day for me, but maybe not the worst outcome? I assume a lot of people will say that she was lying. Me too if I'm being honest, OP. But it sounded honest and for the first time in months she wasn't
Starting point is 00:04:31 mad at me. Then OP posted another update. My wife came to me crying. She said that she doesn't know why she tried to destroy our life together. She says she loves me so much and I'm the perfect husband and she has the perfect life and she just couldn't handle it and tried to destroy it. She's agreed to counseling and she apparently doesn't want to lose me. She says that she doesn't want anyone else and she wants to do what she needs to for me to forgive her. She says that we can keep the marriage open if I want and I said okay. She asked me if I needed to see other people and I said I don't know.
Starting point is 00:05:05 She said she understood and started crying again. Later she tried to initiate intercourse and I stopped her because she had on her sexy underwear. Seeing them again made me feel sick. She wore them for another man not even a week ago trying to destroy our marriage. I feel like all my walls are up 100% right now. My kids noticed her behavior towards me change this morning when I was getting them ready for school. She was very affectionate and saying nice things to me. My kids were so happy on the way into school. My daughter said, I'm so glad that mom is being herself again. Isn't that great? I said, yeah. So guys, I'm so tired.
Starting point is 00:05:46 OP, your marriage is dead. It is dead as a doornail, dead man walking, there's no coming back from this, man. Your wife is a flaky cheater and you've emotionally checked out. Anyways, OP, I'm giving you 0 out of 5 buttholes. I'm giving your wife 3.5 out of 5 buttholes. Am I the butthole for refusing to share food that I ordered for myself? This week, I had a minor examination at the hospital that required me to not eat for 24 hours prior to the test. My appointment was also delayed by 4 hours, so by the time that it was done and by the time that I got home, it had been over 32 hours since I had eaten anything.
Starting point is 00:06:25 Because of this, I was very hungry and tired, so I decided to order some food. I asked my girlfriend if she wanted anything, but she said no. My girlfriend said that she would rather cook than order out, but I said that I'd prefer takeaway so we could just have separate meals. She said that she would prefer if we both just cooked, but again, I refused and told her that I'm ordering myself food. I ordered the food and she decided to not cook and just said that she didn't want anything. Once my food came, I was sitting down eating and she came over and asked if she could have some. I asked, are you serious? I pointed out that I asked her multiple times if
Starting point is 00:07:03 she wanted anything, but she waited for me to sit down and start enjoying my food before she came and tried to take it. I said that I ordered exactly what I want because of how hungry I am, but she just said that she's hungry too since she hadn't eaten. I mentioned that the only reason why she hadn't eaten was because she didn't want to cook, and that doesn't mean that she can come and take my food instead. I said that if she wants something to eat, she can either order herself something or cook, but I'm not sharing what I ordered. She said that I was being too selfish and that I have enough to share, so I should be
Starting point is 00:07:35 fine sharing with her. She said that I'm not asking for too much and that I'm being unfair. So am I the butthole for refusing to share the food that I ordered? Honestly, OP, this kind of feels like intentional, you know? Like she intentionally did this as some kind of, I don't know, punishment? Because any normal human being can understand, oh, you haven't eaten for like 30 hours, you must be hungry. So between her not ordering anything and then deciding not to cook and then digging in her heels, it almost feels like she intentionally decided beforehand that she was just going to
Starting point is 00:08:10 steal your food. I could totally understand her asking for a bite. I think asking for a bite is super, super reasonable, but expecting you to share your food is douchey and kind of a red flag. Like I don't want to over exaggerate because I know reddit is like, Hey everyone, I came home from work and my wife didn't say hello to me when I walked in the door and everyone's like divorce, divorce her. But I don't know. This is, this is kind of giving me red flags here. So I don't know if this is specifically a good enough reason to break up with her, but if I were in your shoes, I'd probably be thinking about it because it's just weird. OP, I'm giving you zero out of 5 buttholes.
Starting point is 00:08:47 I'm giving your girlfriend 1 out of 5 buttholes. Am I the butthole for telling my parents to keep all the money they stole from me while I was in university and shove it up their butts? I got a job while I was in high school. It was with a friend of my father. I saved most of the money and would just occasionally buy stuff that I wanted, but my parents wouldn't buy for me. My parents aren't rich, but they do well enough. They wanted me to appreciate that the things were paid for with my time. I didn't mind. I bought myself a PS4 and some games. Which, of course,
Starting point is 00:09:16 they made me share with my younger brother and sister. Once again, I didn't mind. I mostly played while they did homework or slept. When I graduated from high school, they said that I had to start paying rent. That sucked because I was going to university in the fall and I was hoping to save up over the summer so I could work less during the school year. So I worked my butt off in school and at work. I ended up getting a job loading delivery trucks before school. That also sucked because I went to sleep at 7 p.m. most
Starting point is 00:09:46 nights so I could get up early and go to work. I'm about to graduate and I found a job in another province. I've already started doing my onboarding and online training. I'll go straight from graduation to loading up my car to leave. My parents had a graduation party for me where they tried to present me with a check for all the rent I paid plus a pittance in interest. I looked at the check for about a minute and I started laughing. All I could think of was the fact that I had no social life during university because I was working all the time. I didn't have any money in investments like my parents did because my parents were taking my money. I asked them if they were also doing this for my sister.
Starting point is 00:10:25 They said they weren't since she wasn't working when she went to school. I tore up the check and told them to shove it up their butts. I told them that when they compensate me for all the sleep I lost, 4 years of no social life during university, and 4 summer vacations, then I would speak to them again. I told my brother not to get a job or they would screw him over too. I went to my room, grabbed my computer, some clothes, my PlayStation 4 and my toiletries. My brother and sister can play on the PS5 that my parents bought the family? Oh, that's cold, that stings, OP.
Starting point is 00:11:00 My parents were yelling at me the whole time. I said if they touched me or tried to stop me, I would call the cops. I loaded up my car that I pay for, that I insure, and that is registered to me. Then I drove to my friend's house and had a bit of a breakdown. They let me stay there since she's away at university in another city. I then blocked my parents and my brother and sister. I'd already quit my current job, so I called my boss and told him I was sick and I wouldn't be available for my last week.
Starting point is 00:11:29 He said that he understood and laughed. He said he was surprised that I had kept working this close to graduation. My grandfather called me to talk a couple of days later. We went to Timmy's and he let me unload everything that I felt. They took money from me that I could have used to make my life better. I didn't even have time for a girlfriend. My entire university romantic life was hooking up with a woman that I worked with when her ex-husband had the kids for the weekend.
Starting point is 00:11:55 He said that my parents' hearts were in the right place and they thought that they were helping me. I said that they owed me four years of fun, of parties that I was too tired to go to, of social events and networking that I didn't do. And this whole time, they were subsidizing for my sister. And they would also end up subsidizing for my brother. He said that he understood and hugged me. He's old, but I couldn't have gotten free of that hug if I tried. He asked me if I needed money to start my new job. I said that I didn't want anything that came from my parents.
Starting point is 00:12:29 He gave me a cashier's check for about three times what my parents took from me. He said to use it however I wanted in my new life. He said that it wasn't part of my inheritance or anything. It was a gift from him and something that my grandma would have wanted me to have. My friends think that I was stupid to tear up the check. Most of them agree with me about being pissed at my parents. Some family members have called me to say that I behave terribly and that I owe my parents an apology.
Starting point is 00:12:55 I just thank them for the call and then block them. I'm calmer now and I still don't think that I'm in the wrong, but maybe I'm too close to see what I'm missing. Am I the butthole? OP, this is a classic, classic, ancient tale as old as time where the parents put too much responsibility on the oldest kid's shoulders and not enough responsibility on the younger kid's shoulders. I hate to say it, OP, but you're just yet another oldest kid who's a casualty in this long line of typical abuse.
Starting point is 00:13:26 OP, you get 0 out of 5 buttholes. I'm giving your parents 3 out of 5 buttholes. While I don't think it's necessarily wrong to expect your kid to pay rent and expect him to work through college, it is wrong to expect one kid to do that and not expect the other two kids to do that as well. That's just favoritism, man. Am I the butthole for telling my sister-in-law that her son is no longer invited to my house, ever? I'm a 26 year old woman and I've been married to my husband who's 30 for two years. I'm currently 18 weeks pregnant as well. My sister-in-law is 31 and she has a 15 year old son,
Starting point is 00:14:01 Riley, and also has a 6 year old son. Riley is a very troubled boy. I don't really know the details, but I've always loved my sister-in-law and her children, so she tells me about his drug and alcohol issues starting when he was just a kid. He's been in legal trouble and is in and out of clinical settings and therapy. According to her, Riley's been getting better recently. So my sister-in-law asked my husband and I if Riley and his little brother, who's six, could stay with us for a few days while she and her husband went to a funeral. We said yes, of course.
Starting point is 00:14:32 Well, to make a long story short, at first, the boys were super nice and happy. We watched a movie, I made us dinner, and the six-year-old even told me about his plans for the future. It was all very nice. Then Riley got into an argument with my husband. I was in the next room over, but I heard it start. It was because my husband moved Riley's jacket. I walked in just to see what was happening.
Starting point is 00:14:55 Riley was very upset. And my husband wasn't doing a very good job calming him, to be honest. I walked up and gently suggest that Riley come with me to cool off and he agreed. However, when we were walking to the bedroom where I was going to talk with him calmly, Riley suddenly decided that he wanted to try to fight my husband and shoved me into the wall to run back. He shoved me hard enough that my head hit a jacket hook on the wall and I was bleeding. After that, my husband called my sister-in-law
Starting point is 00:15:25 and demanded they come home. My husband took Riley to a hotel for the night and I stayed with the six-year-old who was a sobbing mess after this. So I told my sister-in-law that I will never have Riley in my house again. She was so apologetic but I didn't care. I'm pregnant and Riley knows this and he shoved me. He Consistently tried to fight with my husband. He makes his brother cry all the time. My sister-in-law wasn't even mad I just said I didn't want Riley there anymore But she thinks that it's unfair that I said never again and that his brother can still come but I don't. Am I the butthole? Yo, he shoved a pregnant lady and gave her a head wound.
Starting point is 00:16:06 And we're here on Reddit discussing, I don't know, is it okay to ban this person forever? Of course it is! You can't just assault pregnant ladies and give them head wounds and be like, Ooh, I'm Saul Wee. Can I come over tomorrow and hang out? Nah, man. Ain't gonna happen. OP, I'm giving you zero out of five buttholes. I'm giving Riley three out of 5 buttholes. I'm giving Riley 3 out of 5 buttholes.
Starting point is 00:16:27 I get that he's a kid, but even 15 year olds are old enough to understand that you can't shove pregnant ladies. 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.
