Welcome to R-slash-M-I-the-butthole, where I, guy causes his wife to kill herself. Am I the butthole for telling my brother it's his fault,

his wife oft herself, and that I don't blame his kids for hating him? Jeez, what a title. I'm a 23-year-old woman, and my older brother, Brandon, is 33. Him and his wife had three kids, a 13-year-old girl, and a 12- and 10-year-old boy. My brother is an active-duty Marine, and him and his wife have been married for almost 15 years. They got married at 18. My brother went on deployment last year and cheated on my sister-in-law with a female Marine. According to him, he hadn't been in love with my sister-in-law for years, but was trying to stick it out so he didn't lose custody of their kids. But he met his girlfriend on deployment, fell in love or whatever, and when he got back, he told his wife, Jenny, that he wanted a divorce and that he'd cheated on her.

Ginny was pretty distraught and felt like she didn't know what to do. She gave up her career to raise as kids, and they moved all around the country constantly so she had no stability. She ended up telling the kids she loved them, and that dad was divorcing her because he got a new girlfriend, and then drove to the police station and shot herself in the parking lot while the kids were in school. The kids have been devastated and blame my brother for Jenny's death. They've been pretty venomous to him, saying they wished he died instead. The girlfriend broke up with him right away after Jenny died. She didn't want to get involved in his family situation. My brother reached out to me to ask if I would try to get the kids to fix things with him, since I've always had a good

relationship with them. I told him it's literally his fault that Jenny died, and he shouldn't have cheated on her. He should have given her some notice about the divorce so that she could get a vocational degree, or at least something so she'd have a means of supporting herself. The divorce wasn't the problem. It was the way he went about it that was. I told him that I'd be there for the kids, but I don't blame them for hating him and that I'm not going to try to get them to change their minds. Because I hate him too, and I think that he's a monster, quite frankly. He was upset and tried to make excuses. He got our mom involved, who always babied him, and said that I'm terrible for saying the things that I said. So I guess I'm the butthole? See, the dumb thing about this is even

if OP agreed with the brother's position here, which she clearly doesn't, she still wouldn't be obligated to convince the kids that, you know, it's not their dad's fault. That's between him and his kids. Sounds like the kids need therapy because,

you know, they're distraught that their mom died. So I am solidly on O.P. side and the side of the kids. They all get zero out of five buttholes. The cheating brother gets 3.5 out of five buttholes. Maybe more. Am I the butthole for walking away from a house that I have no equity or say in and stipping my soon-to-be-X?

Before we got married, my in-law sat me down and explained that I was never going to be on any paperwork for the house they helped my fiancé purchase as a wedding gift. They insisted on an iron-clad pre-up. I got a lawyer and made sure I was protected as well. After we got married, I contributed to the expenses of our household 50-50, mortgage and everything. It was a little more than I paid in rent and utilities, but I figured we were building a future together. I make a decent living as a welder, and I don't own a lot of stuff. I have a truck, a welding lid, a laptop, and some clothes. Before I met my wife, I lived at Airbnb's and all-inclusive resorts. I work four weeks on and get two weeks off. It didn't make sense to rent a house that

could sit empty for a month at a time. I've helped my wife upgrade, renovate, and furnish the house. I'll give a simple example. We bought a very nice section. I paid for half up front by giving the money to my wife. She then bought it on her credit card to get the points. After that, it wasn't my problem anymore. I recently found out that she's been seeing her ex when I'm out of town. I do not play that game. I will never compete for a woman and I do not forgive cheating. So last time I came home from work, I stayed at an Airbnb. I took the time to see a lawyer and initiate our divorce. When my time off was done, I went back to work. My next break is after. for the new year and I'll be going to an all-inclusive. I will not be giving her any money. The problem is that she didn't use the money I gave her to pay down the mortgage on her credit card bill. She blew it on other stuff. So now she's in a bind. My money made her lifestyle possible. By me just leaving and not engaging, she's kind of screwed. But there's nothing there for me anymore. We don't even have a dog like I wanted because she would have had to care for them while I was

away. So all I left behind was a suit that I only bought for our wedding, some gym clothes and my dress shoes, once again for the wedding. She, her family, and her friends are all over me for help during our divorce. I have no obligation to do so. And after our divorce, even less so. I can literally live out of my suitcase in my backpack. My only living expense beyond housing is long-term parking for my truck. Even my mom seems to think I'm screwing her over and punishing her too harshly. I personally can't believe my mom would take her side, but my parents' divorce was really antagonistic, and their inability to communicate led to both of them being much worse off than if they had just cooperated and ended things amicably. Huh? Why is everyone upset about the mortgage, but not upset about

the wife cheating? Isn't that like 10 times worse? What's wrong with these people? O.P., you get 0 out of 5 buttholes. I'm giving the cheater 3 out of 5 buttholes. Am I the butthole for hiding the fact that my youngest son, is biologically ours? So I'm 48 and my wife is 46. We both come from a culture where arranged marriages are common, and that's how we got together. We had an arranged marriage when we were 18 and 20. We both wanted kids. However, my wife had a medical condition that made it very hard for her to get pregnant, and because of the arranged nature of our marriage, we didn't exactly feel too keen on repeatedly trying. So when we were financially stable and old enough, we adopted our first son when he was three. He's now 26. And our daughter, a year later when she was a newborn, she's now 22.

About three years later, my wife unexpectedly got pregnant after we drunkenly hooked up with each other, and that resulted in our youngest son, who's now 19. When my wife got pregnant with our youngest son, we purposefully hid this from our families. They had for years pressured us to try fertility treatments to have a child that would truly belong to us. And we knew if they found out our youngest was biologically ours, they'd never treat our other children the same. We hid her pregnancy and told our families we adopted another baby. Only a few friends and select members knew about the pregnancy. All of my children also know about this. My father was talking to my cousin about how he was always disappointed that I never gave him a proper grandchild, and he was still holding out hope

until last year when my wife turned 45. I told him that he has three grandchildren through me, and he just grumbled about how it wasn't the same. My cousin in private says he thinks it's a bit of a butthole move to still hide it from him because he's getting older, and it's not like he can treat the kids much differently from one another now that they're all grown. I don't think I'm the butthole, but I'm curious what Reddit thinks. Opie, your father literally validated the reasons why you didn't want to tell him about the actual biological birth. He's still being, I don't know, what's the word, bigoted?

preferential? I'm not sure what to call it. But he still got that old-fashioned, only blood matters type of mentality. So the second you tell him the truth, he's going to start showing favoritism, which is going to lead to everyone having hurt feelings. So I think you're in the clear here. Also, for whatever reason, O.P. wants to clarify that he is not Indian. O.P., you get zero out of five buttholes. Honestly, you get negative butthole scores because you adopted two kids, which is a very kind and selfless thing to do. So you get negative butthole scores and your dad gets, I don't know, one out of five buttholes. Am I the butthole for canceling a third date over a peanut allergy?

A friend of mine set me up on a date with the coworker of hers. She said we were perfect for each other. Our first date was at a coffee shop, and then we arranged to meet up at a botanical garden the next week. While we were at the botanical garden, she told me about her peanut allergy, which she described as life-threatening. I told her that must be stressful, and she said it was. We arranged for a lunch date this week at the end of the date. After that date, I started thinking, I love peanuts and eat them all the time.

I put peanut butter in or on a lot of stuff, including my dog's toys, which he drags all over my apartment, getting invisible peanut oil everywhere, I'm sure. I can't see a potential relationship with this woman ever progressing to a serious stage without me changing my diet and habits. At this point, we've only been on two dates, and I think it would be more respectful of her to not go on a third. So I called her and told her I was sorry, but we need to cancel. She asked if I wanted to reschedule, and I apologized but said I didn't think that we would work out long term. She asked why, and I was honest. I said I really like peanuts, and I would be nervous about potentially harming her. She said there were a lot of safety precautions

we could take to keep her safe. And I admitted, I know that, but I don't want to do them. She said, wow, and told me I'm immature. I apologized again, but she hung up. She told my friend what happened, and my friend is confused by my reasoning. She said, her coworker said, that I'm a massive douche. I don't feel like I am. We only went on two dates. Two dates doesn't imply any commitment. I asked my friend if she agrees I'm a douche. She said she's not sure, but that my logic is definitely weird. Do you guys agree? Well, OP, you're definitely allowed to prefer peanuts over this girl. That's a choice that you have a right to make. But, you know, to be honest, finding out someone chooses peanuts over you has got a sting. So I can understand the

girl in this scenario getting upset at you and calling you a douche. If I were in your shoes, I'd probably call you a douche too. Now, I do think you're in the clear. You are allowed to be like, eh, sorry girl, I like peanut butter and jelly more than I like you, so goodbye. So I think everyone in here gets zero out of five buttholes. O.P. knows what he likes, and that's peanut butter, and she has a pretty justified reason for being upset about that. I mean, you know, that's the whole point of dating, is it's like a big experiment to see if you two like each other, and to see if there's any kind of deal breakers, and this is a deal breaker, peanut butter and jelly. Am I the butthole for outing my aunt's bed wedding after she kept asking about my love life?

I'm an 18-year-old woman, and I'm paralyzed from the chest down from an accident three years ago. I live with my older brother, and this past week he hosted a big family reunion with multiple other relatives staying in the house. Very little privacy. The last time I saw her, my aunt would not stop asking invasive questions about my body and my love life. I told her multiple times to stop, and she laughed and said that since my care affects the whole family, it doesn't, it's not really private, which is BS. Then on Saturday night, she stayed over and wet the bed. I know because she asked my brother about laundry, and he found out about it and told me. No one else knew. I, of course, wasn't planning on telling anyone, because obviously that's

embarrassing for her, and I above anyone know what it's like to not have full control of my body. But then yesterday, the family had lunch with everyone, and she started with her BS again and joked that my boyfriend is more of a nurse than a lover. I said, perhaps she needs a nurse so she can stop pissing herself at night. That did not go over well. I know it's a mean thing to say, but I feel like it's justified low-key. My brother is fully on my side and had to keep himself from laughing his butt off. The rest of my family is not at all amused. From my perspective, I set a boundary which was ignored, so I matched her energy. Am I the butthole?

O.P., all you did was return the same energy. You get zero out of five buttholes. She gets two out of five buttholes. That was our slash am I the butthole. And if you like this content, be sure to follow my podcast because I put out new Reddit podcast episodes every single day.
