Welcome to r slash am I overreacting where OP's wife sleeps with his sister.
Am I overreacting about my wife experimenting?
My wife went to lunch the other day with my brother's wife and my sister.
They apparently had a lot of drinks.
So they called my brother and I for rides and a vehicle retrieval.
My brother and I picked them up and he drove his wife's car back but the three women
head over to my sister's apartment.
I return to my home and my brother returns to his home.
I found out later after my wife acted a bit strange about what they did at the apartment
that they experimented together.
I had assumed that they were going to drink more at my sister's apartment or possibly
smoke.
I've never been cheated on but this doesn't feel to me as if it was cheating.
However, it feels a bit weird. For one, obviously my sister was involved. For two,
I found out kinda by accident. I'm not sure if my wife planned to tell me. I feel like this is
maybe a small betrayal. I don't know. What do you guys think?
Down in the comments, Fun Intention says, your sister banged your wife.
That help?
Yeah dude, you were double betrayed.
Betrayed by your wife and betrayed by your sister.
I'm not sure which one stings more.
Also OP posted an update.
I asked my wife about it.
She says that she doesn't remember much, but they were naked in the bed together.
Not that it's my concern, but she said that she did in climax and she's unsure if the
other two did.
My concern is more the betrayal and being unsure if she would have ever told me had
I not found out.
Also, I'll see my brother on Friday and see how he feels about it because I feel that
he has a right to know.
Our next reddit post is from Deleted.
It just came to my attention that my husband has been cheating on me on and off for two
years.
He started cheating on me while I was pregnant because I didn't feel like passionately
hugging him due to pregnancy symptoms.
He cheated on me with two different women.
The first girl was a stranger that he just met when he was out one night.
But there's this one girl in particular that he keeps having intercourse with.
They've been friends with Benefits for almost a year now.
I asked my husband, why?
Why would you do this to me?
We have a family together, we built a life together, and he threw away 8 years for a
girl that hasn't even graduated college yet.
He said to me, she's beautiful, she's quiet, she's simple, she's not annoying, she doesn't nag me,
she doesn't argue, she's not combative. She's not fat and she's not lazy. She's fun, she's
spontaneous. I forget about my troubles when I'm around her. She makes my life easier,
opposed to complicating it like you do. She's just everything that you're not anymore but used to be. She's a younger version of you.
She reminded me of you 15 years ago.
Honestly, I'm still processing this.
It doesn't feel like it's real.
I keep thinking that I'm going to wake up from this nightmare.
I feel so bad about myself.
Everything he said to me actually made me feel worse than when I found out about his
affair.
Oof.
Man.
OP.
That was rough.
That's the type of insult that sticks with someone until they die.
Well, uh, clearly your marriage is over.
Your husband is just awful.
I don't see how you could say that to the woman who's carrying your child.
Cheating on your pregnant wife is bad enough, but tearing her down, cutting
her to her very soul like that, that's just merciless.
Am I overreacting by ending my 4 year relationship? I'm a 32 year old woman and my boyfriend
is 33. He says that I'm throwing away a 4 year relationship over a mistake he made.
To keep it short, on 4 different occasions over the last two and a half years,
he's gone drinking and come home to throw a drunken tantrum because I said the wrong thing,
because something happened at the bar or I put my foot down because he's drunk and yelling at me
in front of our friends at the bar. Twice I had to leave to my sister's house because he was going
around our small apartment, slamming doors and banging his head on the walls. I've had to wake him up several times because he falls asleep on the toilet or the bathroom
floor and he's had to sleep in his car because of his outbursts.
The second time this happened, he gave me his word that he would be more responsible
with his drinking and that he wouldn't have any more outbursts.
He said that he was going to drink water between each beer or have sodas and bar food and then
just one beer. The third time this happened, I made it clear that him going back on his word was
unacceptable because it shows that he doesn't care that he becomes emotionally and verbally
abusive towards me. I told him I was tired of his apologies if he's going to keep doing the same
thing. Between all these times, he's continued to get drunk on the weekends, but I've kept my mouth shut to avoid him having an outburst and things were relatively okay.
This last time, he went and got drunk at the bar, didn't eat anything, refused the water
that my sister offered him because she's aware of the agreement that we had.
And when I showed up, he yelled at me because he was too drunk to keep track of what team
he was on and he misunderstood when I told him that he made the wrong shot.
We went to get food from a local taco spot and he couldn't even stand because he was
so drunk.
I had to pull over on the freeway because he had to throw up.
When we got home, he fell asleep in the bathroom and I had to wake him up three times.
I kept my anger about the situation to myself because the sadness of feeling like I needed
to leave him because he just wasn't willing to change was overwhelming.
The next morning, he could tell that something was up and he asked if I was okay.
I said that I wasn't ready to talk about it, but he insisted.
So I told him that he went back on his word again about drinking responsibly and I realized
that the only way I was going to avoid his verbal abuse was if I just kept
quiet.
I told him what I told my ex when I was thinking about leaving.
It's not anything that I haven't already told you.
He left it at that in the morning, and at night I was crying because I was upset that
four years of my life had gone down the drain.
And I just folded and asked him why
I wasn't good enough for him to want to do better.
Then he started to say that I had fault in our relationship ending, ignoring that the
only reason I'm leaving is because I can't keep giving him chances to verbally abuse
me when he's drunk and angry.
I reminded him that he had given me his word and he had gone back on it twice.
He seemed to understand, but the next day he just kept saying that he deserves to unwind
on the weekends because he works all week to provide for us.
To be clear, I have a job and I'm constantly sending him money because he overspends and
his account will overdraft when the phone or internet bill comes through.
Now he posted on his Facebook that I'm throwing away 40,000 hours of our lives together for 12 bad hours. So I'm asking, am I overreacting?
OP, your boyfriend is an alcoholic. There's just no way to put it. Having a couple drinks on the
weekend I can understand, but getting like pass out drunk wasted every single weekend,
that is alcoholism. Our next reddit post is from deleted.
My husband won't let me take more than two showers a week. I told him I need him to stop
or I'm moving out for a while. This is the weirdest thing my husband has ever done.
He really is a sweet and loving husband and I love him more than anything. Divorce is not an
option. Let me just put that out there. My husband has always been a little… out there.
He's a computer programmer and super smart, but he believes all sorts of weird things,
both real and conspiracy.
Lately he's been very worried about the environment and global warming.
About two months ago, he got really worried about water.
Yes, water.
He's concerned about the quality of water.
He put in a new filter system in our house, which I actually love because it tastes so
much better.
But he's also concerned about how much water we use.
Not because of money, but the environment.
He created a new rule that we can only take two showers a week.
Now I'm someone who likes to shower every day before bed.
I just don't like feeling dirty in bed.
This has created the most conflict in our marriage in 20 years.
He's obsessed with the amount of water that we use.
At first I just ignored his rule, but he would shut off the hot water while I was in the
shower.
I started trying to use the shower at the gym, but it's too much work to go every
night with having kids.
I honestly thought that he would get over this within a month, but he stuck on it to
this day.
Last night, I really wanted to shower, but I had hit my quota as he says.
I said that I'm showering and he had better not do anything.
But about two minutes in, he turned off the hot water.
I grabbed my towel and went down and started yelling, telling him this is the dumbest thing
he's ever done.
I also told him that I'm moving to my parents if he doesn't stop this.
Guys, I love this man.
He's everything to me, but I can't take this anymore.
Am I going too far and threatening to move out?
Uh, no, I don't think you're going too far because clearly this guy needs a reality
check.
I don't fully understand why he's being so controlling about this. Like, what's the
big deal? I guess one thing you could do is draw a bath and then reuse the
bathwater, which is a little bit gross, but I mean if it's soapy bathwater then
it should be fine, and see if he still freaks out because if he does freak out
then it's all about control and not really about the water. Though I gotta
say maybe it's not really about the water. Though, I gotta say, maybe it's not really about the water.
Maybe he just likes you being a dirty, dirty girl.
It's that—it reminds me of that famous, uh, that famous letter that—who was it?
Napoleon Bonaparte wrote his girlfriend.
Oh, it was his wife Josephine.
So—hahaha.
So while he was away fighting in a war, he wrote—hahaha.
Napoleon Bonaparte wrote his wife a letter and in the letter he says,
Please don't wash.
We'll arrive in three days.
So you know, maybe your husband just likes your natural fragrance.
Our next reddit post is from Deleted.
My husband kept cheating on me to beat my body count.
My husband and I met when we were in our mid-20s.
In my late teens to early 20s, I went through a promiscuous phase.
I had passionately hugged probably 30-something men by the time that I was 23.
My husband's body count was just 9 and my husband has always been insecure about it.
My husband was the one who asked me what my body count was.
And I was honest about it because my husband didn't seem like the
person to judge, but he was grossed out and said, that's really gross that you let that many dicks
inside of you. I didn't think that my husband would care so much about this and I regret telling
him my actual body count, but we worked past that and we never talked about my body count again.
We've been married for 7 years and we don't have kids. But over the past 5 years, my husband has been cheating with other women and he can't stop.
I just found out about his affair several months ago. He started cheating with me when he was
overseas and he was on dating apps having casual hookups. It's so crazy because everyone from his
work knows that he's married and no one cared to tell me what my husband was doing overseas. He was deployed three times and he's used that time to have intercourse
with other women. He's probably surpassed my body count. Honestly, I don't understand why women
actually want to sleep with him when they know that he's married. One girl even messaged him and said,
I'm going to replace your wife, and he texted back saying,
oh, are you now?
Like what the F?
I'm in shock!
Why would you do this to me?
We've been married for seven years and built a life together.
If you want to act single, then why don't you get a divorce?
He could never get over my body count.
It was silently killing him on the inside.
I guess it hurt his ego.
He told me that he admits that he wasn't that desirable to women when he was in his
twenties and now that he's in his thirties and has more life experience and he's older,
women now find him more attractive.
Especially now that he's been working out, he's had more attention from the opposite
gender.
I'm just like, okay, but you're married.
And he said that he shouldn't have gotten married in his 20s.
He says that it's unfair for him to say no to all these girls that want him now when
they didn't want him before.
He told me that he realized that women like older men who are more established in their
career.
And I believe him, and I also noticed they like stealing other girls' husbands as well.
Anyways, the divorce is finalized.
I just received my paperwork.
I'm back to the States, and he's in Europe getting his dick wet.
I stupidly contacted him a few days ago when I was drunk, and he told me to get help and
then he blocked me on everything.
I hate him so much, but I'm still not over this.
I know I need therapy, but I just don't have the money for that.
I'm unemployed and I've been staying with my family until I get back on my feet again."
Well OP, this is just pure speculation on my part, but I bet that if you had been a
virgin when you met him, this guy still would have cheated on you.
I mean, he's slept with, what, two dozen women if he's trying to match your body count
repeatedly.
This guy has no remorse, no care for you at all.
He's just a cheater.
So I think you just made the mistake of marrying the wrong guy.
