Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome to r slash am I the devil where OP is sad that no one will date a P word. Our next reddit post comes from r slash true off my chest. I messed up and I ruined my marriage. I'm not looking for pity or understanding here. I know that I'm not getting it. Me and my ex wife have a 14 month old son. After he was born, our marriage fell apart. She said that I wasn't pulling my weight with childcare and chores, but at the same time she expected me to know what to do without her telling me. It was bad. We argued a lot and I ended up telling her that her life would be harder without me.
Starting point is 00:00:35 She got really quiet and I thought that was the end of the argument. That made things fall apart and we're getting divorced. We're currently living separately. We each got a new apartment. As for our son, the law in our state is that 50-50 is the default for custody. It's automatic unless one parent proves neglect on the part of the other. We don't have that, so on the advice of both of our lawyers, we're splitting time and doing alternating weeks since we separated. I knew that being a single parent wasn't easy, but I didn't really know until now.
Starting point is 00:01:06 This is where I realized how badly I messed up because I'm drowning. The weeks that I have my son, I don't get anything done and I barely even function at work because I'm so exhausted. I spend the whole week that I don't have him catching up and I can't even get everything done. My apartment is a mess and I can hardly keep up with errands and chores. It sucks. I realize I messed up because I thought since I was having a hard time, my wife would be too and we would call off the divorce and work on things. But she doesn't want
Starting point is 00:01:37 to. She says that her life is easier without me and she's the opposite of me and can apparently keep up everything just fine. She says that she isn't exhausted anymore and realized it's easier without me and she's the opposite of me and can apparently keep up everything just fine. She says that she isn't exhausted anymore and realizes it's easier having one person to take care of instead of two. I know that I messed up and I should have been a better husband. I can't even ask for less time with my son because I can't afford the child support. Right now, neither of us has child support because of the 50-50 custody and equal income. But if we go off 50-50 custody, my lawyer says the person with less time will
Starting point is 00:02:10 have to pay child support. I hate myself for messing up so much. What the F did I do? OP, the problem isn't what you did. The problem is what you didn't do. Clearly, OP is one of those husbands who comes home from work, puts up his feet, turns on TV and says, hey, what's for dinner? Give me a beer. What's the hold up? When are you going to rub my feet? By the way, the baby's crying. What's so funny about this post is he's talking about how he wants his wife back, but not because he loves her. She's a beautiful woman. She's love of my life, I can't live without her.
Starting point is 00:02:45 No, he just misses the services that she provided. He doesn't miss his wife, he misses his maids, so no wonder she split. Our next reddit post comes from r slash amirong. Am I wrong for finding comfort in my late wife's twin sister? My wife passed away in a horrific car accident 8 months ago, leaving myself and our 3 year old daughter behind. I was far too depressed to do anything, much less care for my daughter properly, so my sister-in-law, my wife's twin sister, essentially moved in to help out.
Starting point is 00:03:14 While sobbing about my wife's death together, one thing led to another and we ended up passionately hugging. After the first time, we both felt nauseated with guilt, but soon came to realize that it was helping both of us cope. She's so much like my wife that when I'm with her, I'm able to kind of forget what happened. It's temporary relief, but relief nonetheless. She grew to believe that she was doing a good thing by helping me cope and be a better father to my daughter. It's been a regular thing up until now. I feel obviously conflicted about it, no one can know what's going on as it might tear our family apart.
Starting point is 00:03:48 But it's helped me a lot and I've been a much better father and member of society since we began. I don't know if I'm prepared to stop. Help me see things objectively. How messed up is this? And then in an edit, OP clarifies that the first time they slept together was one month after his wife passed. Our next Reddit post is from from r slash off my chest.
Starting point is 00:04:07 I'm a 35 year old woman and I've been rejected by all men for being a former sex offender. I was a sex offender because of some mental health issues and I paid for all the awful things that I did to some innocent children and I ended up serving 10 years and I've been out for a year now. I lost 10 years of my life and I effing deserved it! And it's good because it made me a better human being. I'm totally changed now and during my time in prison I became a Christian. Now I seek some way back to society.
Starting point is 00:04:37 My dating life however has not been successful because the law in my area requires me to mention my status to all my sexual partners for two years, besides also staying away from kids. I want to respect that so I tell them beforehand, but all my dates have ended up canceling or calling me a P word or shaming me. How can I show that I'm changed? Haven't I paid enough? How much more should I pay?
Starting point is 00:05:02 OB, I don't know how to say this man. Go f*** yourself. Honestly, do you expect anyone to be like, oh poor OP, screwed some children, we should all feel so sorry for her. Okay, so you're over what you did. What about the kids? Are they over what you did? And honestly, I don't even think you are reformed because if you're coming onto Reddit being like, hey guys, I diddled kids and no one seems to be accepting me for it and I don't understand why, then that shows a complete lack of like, understanding how humans work on a fundamental level. So I think something's just inherently broken with you OP and you probably deserve to
Starting point is 00:05:41 be alone. I'm a 43 year old man and I accidentally insulted my partner, a 43 year old woman, and she's remained cold ever since. Now she wears sweats all the time. We've been a couple for seven years. I only now realize that we both view her very differently. From my perspective, she's never been interested in fashion at all. She always wears black jeans. She has dozens of tank tops. She doesn't wear makeup and doesn't get her nails done. She only does root touch-ups.
Starting point is 00:06:11 And I love her and I don't care about this at all. From her perspective, apparently she dresses elegantly and minimalistic. She always says that she's wearing no makeup makeup, which I guess she means mascara? I'm not sure. She says that she pays the salon every month to color her hair or it would be gray. The reason this all came up is that we met up with friends and one of the women is very fashionable. She's always done up. I'd mentioned in passing to my partner that I love that she wore vibrant colors.
Starting point is 00:06:41 My partner said that she personally wasn't a fan of bright colors and in the past when she tried to wear them she doesn't like how it looks. I told her if I was a beautiful woman I'd wear bright colors for attention and that's probably why our friend doesn't. Anyways, that was the gist of the conversation. If my partner was getting upset I wasn't picking up on it. I honestly don't even recall what I was saying that made her mad, but she ended up annoyed with something.
Starting point is 00:07:07 I was truly confused, but ended up in an argument. I told her that based on how she looks, I had no idea she cared about looks or fashion. She was getting really angry at me, which tends to make me mad too. So I told her that if she cares that much, which would surprise me, she should present herself better. She insisted that I tell her what I meant, so I told her that if she cares that much, which would surprise me, she should present herself better. She insisted that I tell her what I meant, so I told her that she dresses boring and it makes her look old and dumpy. I also told her that I don't care at all, but since she appears to, she should try to
Starting point is 00:07:36 dress more fashionably. This was three weeks ago, and she's been very angry with me. Now she's not angry, but she remained cold. And now she started dressing in sweatpants and sweatshirts. She said that she won't be dressing nice around me anymore, but I never thought that she'd dress nice in the first place. Obviously I put my foot in my mouth and I've apologized, but she doesn't care. She says that she won't forget what I said. I really just want her to drop this. Is this something that needs therapy or just time?
Starting point is 00:08:06 OP, what this needs is a husband who treats his wife with respect. How can you be 43 and not have realized that women don't like to be compared to other women? OP, man, you're a doofus. Guys, I called my wife dumpy and old and now she's mad at me? Does she need therapy? Man, what an idiot. My God. I called my wife dumpy and old and now she's mad at me? Does she need therapy? Man, what an idiot. My god. Am I the butthole for thinking that my wife's discipline is too harsh?
Starting point is 00:08:36 My wife and I have four kids. 13 year old twins, an eight year old and a four month old. My wife had postpartum depression with our last baby and she often struggles in the sense that she's not able to turn her brain off. She's getting better, but she's still snappy at times. I currently work 12 hour overnight shifts 5 days a week and she works 20 hours a week from home. Due to this, she has the kids constantly and she's very, very touched out. Ever since she gave birth, our older three kids have been over the top clinging to her and seem to be reverting back to the toddler stage. Like one of the 13 year olds asked my wife earlier how to plug in the microwave or all of a sudden
Starting point is 00:09:12 our 8 year old is asking his mother to help him find clothes and tie his shoes for him again. It's a desperate cry for attention and our therapist is helping us work through it but lately things seem to be getting worse. Like we can't even plan a family outing without the three older kids gripping onto their mother or walking so close in front or behind her that they trip her up. So it's absolutely been hell, but like I said, we're trying to work through this with therapy. Well, two weeks ago, my wife implemented a rule that no one was allowed to talk to her when she had her headphones in or when she was taking a shower.
Starting point is 00:09:47 As I'm sure you guessed already, the kids were even bugging her endlessly during those times. And my wife said that she needs an effing break and silence and for people to stop hanging off her arm. She even snapped the other day saying, can none of you do anything for yourselves? No? Why don't I wipe your butts for you while I'm at it? Because one of our 13 year olds asked where his cup was instead of just moving
Starting point is 00:10:10 the coffee pot to look for himself and then asked her at the same time to make a mac and cheese, despite the fact that he knows how to because yours tastes better. At the time, she was in the middle of feeding the baby, so she snapped. Anyways, now, no one is allowed to bug her under any circumstances when she's showering or when she has headphones in. She puts the headphones in maybe once a week and she showers every other day for like 10 minutes, so it's not a huge ask. Anyways, I got a text from my son earlier saying, Mom is grounding us and taking our stuff away for a week and then zero response.
Starting point is 00:10:45 I go home about an hour later and my wife is livid. All the kids electronics are piled on the counter and all the kids are in their bedroom with the door shut. I ask what happened and she said that she went to take a shower and the kids came in 5 times in a 10 minute period? Yo what? So she grounded them from everything for a week and sent them to their rooms. I feel she's being too harsh because I know they just want her attention. Now
Starting point is 00:11:10 she's pissed at me for making her feel bad for needing an effing minute to herself. Am I the butthole? Yo you know how many times I came into the shower when my mom was showering when I was a kid? You know based on like an age that I can remember so excluding age 2 3 4 But once I you know gained consciousness and memory of the world's like age 8 up I guess Zero man zero. I don't want to be in the bathroom with my mom showering. Oh gross You know these kids have issues not I'm not saying they have issues because they want to be in the bathroom with her mom showering I guess that's kind of like normal in their family, I guess. It's a little weird, but I'm not criticizing them for that. I'm criticizing them for not cutting the umbilical cord.
Starting point is 00:11:54 What is wrong with your kids? OP, instead of supporting your wife by taking over some of the burden and be like, hey, wife, I can tell you're stressed. Why don't I just take all the four kids out to like a daddy-daughter or daddy-slash-son date and we can all go to the playground or the mall and just, you know, spend some time with good old pops? Give the wife some rest. Huh?
Starting point is 00:12:16 Is that so hard? I have a daddy-daughter date with my daughter every other week like clockwork because I want to spend time with her and my wife deserves a rest. So not only do you not lift a finger to help out your wife, but also when your wife takes action to defend her sanity, you criticize her for it. OP, dude, you better figure out what's going on or your wife is gonna just peace out. She's gonna leave you or the kids or just leave. You know, I will say in OP's defense though that he's working 12 hours a day, 5 days
Starting point is 00:12:45 a week, so that's 60 hours, is that right? So his ability to take over is a little bit compromised, but come on OP, you got the weekend, you can at least give your wife one full weekend day, right? Maybe even two weekend days? Spend some time with your kids? Am I the butthole for accusing my wife of stopping for food on her way home? A few hours ago, my wife informed me that she was going to have to stay late at work. She's been incredibly busy lately, so I told her that I would cook dinner and have
Starting point is 00:13:12 it ready when she got home. I have a few signature recipes that I can make in a pinch from memory. I decided to make rosemary lemon chicken with some canned green beans and bowtie pasta. The dinner was ready long before my wife got home, which I think shows a lot of commitment. But when my wife finally got home, she was only picking at her food. She was trying to tell me about her day, but the lack of food being consumed off her plate was extremely distracting to me. There are several fast food restaurants on the way home from her office and it was becoming very apparent that she had stopped at one. Finally, I couldn't take it anymore and asked, where did you stop? My wife seemed confused,
Starting point is 00:13:50 so I clarified. I asked, where did you eat dinner? My wife seemed surprised and angered by my question. She said that she had a hard day and that her stress levels were suppressing her appetite. I couldn't help but laugh. That was a ridiculous excuse. It's Friday, which means that she won't have to worry about work for three more days. When I leave the office, I don't think at all about my workday, even if it was a bad one. I walked out to her car to look for fast food bags, but I didn't end up finding any. This was so upsetting to my wife that when I came back inside, she was yelling at me. If anyone should have been insulted it was me but she insisted that I was being a jackass and that I refused to hear her
Starting point is 00:14:31 point of view. I'd worked hard on this meal and to have her pick at it was a slap in the face. She barely said anything to me for a few hours and I want this treatment to stop. She needs to stop taking out her work troubles on me and get better control of her emotions. I want my old wife back. Not a stressed out bully. I just don't know what more I can do. Am I the butthole? Man, Opie made dinner, which he himself said was finished long before his wife got home,
Starting point is 00:14:58 which means that it was stone cold by the time that she got back. And what does he expect? A medal? A parade? A celebration? Oh my god, a husband? You made me chicken! You're the best husband in the world! Man, dude, just let the lady be stressed out. What's the big deal? You're acting like you're investigating her for a murder, checking the scene of the crime for evidence. Where is this receipt from? Dude, relax. I honestly think he was expecting to get more enjoyment out of her praise than she was expecting
Starting point is 00:15:30 to get enjoyment out of the meal. That was r slash am I the devil. And if you like this content, be sure to follow my podcast because I put out new Reddit podcast episodes every single day.
