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.

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 r slash best of redditor updates where we have one of the best stories of unexpected revenge I've ever read. Our next reddit post is from officereasonable. Am I the butthole for breaking up with my girlfriend after she insisted I pay for her sister's student loans? So I'm a 28 year old guy and I've been dating my girlfriend who's 26 for about 2 years. A few months ago I got really lucky on stake and won about $80,000. Not life changing money but definitely a nice chunk of change. My girlfriend has been struggling

with student loans, about $35,000. So I decided to help her out and paid them off completely. She was super grateful, at first, crying and thanking me for weeks. Fast forward to last week, her sister, who's 24, is also dealing with student loans, about $42,000 worth. My girlfriend started hinting that since I helped her, I should also help her sister. I laughed it off at first, thinking she was joking. She wasn't. She got increasingly pushy about it, saying things like, You have plenty left.

And it's selfish to help me but not my sister. And family helps family. I explained that while I care about her family, I'm not responsible for her sister's loans. I already did something generous that most boyfriends wouldn't do, and her sister's finances aren't my responsibility. This turned into a massive fight where she called me selfish and greedy. She literally said, what's the point of having money if you don't help people with it? She then gave me an ultimatum.

Either pay her sister's loans or she'd reconsider our relationship. I broke up with her on the spot. Now she's blowing up my phone saying I overreacted and her family thinks that I'm a butthole. So reddit, am I the butthole for refusing to pay for her sister's loans and ending the relationship after this? Ha ha ha! The top comment! I didn't know about this! You can reverse a student loan payment. I did this when there was that chance of the $10,000 forgiveness and it was months after the payment. You're not the butthole.

And you should get your money back since she so quickly showed her true colors. Oh man, I hope that's where this story's going. Then about two weeks later, OP posted an update. So a couple of weeks ago, I posted about how I broke up with my girlfriend after she demanded I pay off her sister's 42k in loans after already paying off her 35k in loans. Y'all overwhelmingly said not the butthole and suggested I reverse the payment. Well, I did exactly that. I called the loan servicer, explained the situation

and was able to get the $35,000 payment reversed. My ex absolutely lost it when she found out. Blowing up my phone with 50 plus texts, calling me every name in the book. She's telling everyone that I stole from her and her family is threatening legal action. Lul. Good luck. Her sister even showed up at my apartment screaming about how I ruined their plans. Whatever that means. My friends are split. Half think it was savage but justified. Others think I should have just walked away

without taking the money back. Yeah, f**king right. Give me a break. But honestly, the fact that they immediately started planning how to spend my money on the sister confirms I made the right call. So am I the butthole for taking back money that was clearly part of a manipulation scheme? It's just so ironic and hypocritical that OP's girlfriend, well ex-girlfriend, said family helps family and now that you've got money you should help out my sister. But girl, you've got money now! You have no debt! You can take the money that you're earning from your job and help out your sister because after all, family helps family, right? So your boyfriend

helped you so why don't you help out your sister instead of expecting your boyfriend to help your family out again? I would love to know how OP's girlfriend... Gosh, I keep saying girlfriend. Ex-girlfriend found out that she still has payments. Like, did OP just tell her, hey, ring ring, by the way, I reverse the payment. Did she get a letter? Did she get a late payment because she didn't pay her bill that she didn't know she had?

I'm going to check the comments. I'd love to know the answer to this. No luck on finding out that information, but I did see OP made a post where he made another $15,000 sports betting. So OP is apparently some sports betting savant. Man, this story is crazy. They want to spend, what is it? $77,000 of his $80,000. Which by the way, I'm pretty sure he has to pay taxes on, which I think OP forgot about, dude. And they want to leave him $3,000 to spend on himself. I mean, he can't even spend it on himself.

Let's be realistic because he's gonna be in debt to the IRS to the tune of probably like 15k I think. Our next Reddit post is from r slash relationship advice. I'm a 27 year old woman and I found semen on my wedding dress. I don't know if it was my fiance who's 26 or his brother who's 21. I really wish I was kidding. I spent today shopping, drinking hot chocolate and eating cookies with my sister. I wouldn't have believed anyone if they'd said this happened, so I won't be surprised

if nobody believes me. It's stupid and it's disgusting and I'm still in shock. So today I went out to do some Christmas shopping with my 18 year old sister. I live with my fiance, James, so he was at home for the day. He works in healthcare, so he works 12 hours a day for 4 days, then gets 4 days off, then 12 hours at night for 4 days and so on. Today was one of his days off, so his brother, who's 21, Dan, visited and they spent the day together.

They don't usually spend time together. James is into computers and gaming, whereas Dan cares more about football than anything else. Not saying that to be derogatory. I get it. Formula One is my life, LMAO. They're just really different people and have never been close, which is why it was really nice for them to spend time together today while I was out with my sister. I got home at about 8pm after having dinner with my sister and getting all of our Christmas shopping done. My uncle Ray is a tailor so he's been adjusting my dress and he sent it back to me while I was out.

James and I aren't really the traditional type so he was at home to accept the dress from Jay and check that it was okay. I really thought everything was fine because James texted me when Ray visited and he sent me a picture of the dress. We were both really excited. When I got home, however, Dan left and James was slightly tipsy, which is totally fine in my opinion. He rarely drinks and he rarely sees his brother.

James told me that the dress was beautiful and he couldn't wait to see me in it. I decided to try it on to check that it was fitted properly. I unzipped the bag, looked at it, and found a weird mark on the chest piece. The top part is a corset style thing and there's a crusty stain across it. I've seen my fair share of semen. I know what it is. I don't know whose it was. I'm not sure if I even care. I'm just disgusted. I don't want to touch it. I'm so humiliated that I don't want to tell anyone about it. I don't even know how to bring this up to James. I doubt that it was him, which makes it worse because he doesn't have that close of a relationship

with his brother. And that's the only other person it could have been. Unless other men were in our house. I can't go ruining my relationship with my in-laws before they're even my in-laws. Dan is the golden child. He plays football for the hometown's team. He's my fiance's little brother. But I can't afford a new dress.

I found this one in a sale for $215. What the hell do I do? Then two days later, OP posted an update. I used some of your responses to write a script that I could read to James. By that, I mean I wrote it, tried to memorize it, and completely forgot most of it. But I got the gist out, and there are a few things I wanted to let you all know that I addressed, both in the conversation and on my own. I also really wanted to thank everyone who gave me advice on what to say to the guy that

I'm about to marry. It really helped me keep my cool. I was ready to take scissors to that dress and send it off for DNA testing. That's how badly I didn't want to have this conversation. I asked James what he thought of the dress. He said he loved it and couldn't wait to see me walking down the aisle. Nothing suspicious, he was just excited. I asked James how his evening with his brother went. I don't think anyone suggested this, but I thought that if anything happened and if

he knew about it, he'd tell me. We've been through a lot together, and both know that honesty is the best policy. He said that their evening went as well as it could have gone. His words, not mine. Dan drank a lot, but that's pretty normal for him. He tends to drink as much as he can put into his body, then throw up, then drink more. Fortunately, he didn't barf in our toilet. They got caught up, James told him about his new job, and Dan ended up telling him about the girls

that he's talking to at the moment. The conversation lasted about two hours. Unfortunately, this is relevant. I did get a screenshot of the photo of my dress. I'm a concept artist, so I know my way around Photoshop. I managed to screw around with the filters and adjustments enough to ensure that the dress was 100% clean when it was delivered. The splatter isn't in the picture, and it really is a splatter. Aw man, I was… Personally I had my money on the uncle, but I guess that clears the uncle of the story. I then mentioned that I was about to try on the dress, but there was something on it and

I didn't know what it was. I wanted James to take a look at it so he could help me figure out what it was and where to get it dry cleaned. Before he'd even seen it, James was concerned and already asking if Ray and his husband would know someone who could help. I asked James if Dan saw the dress in person. The answer was yes. James told Dan where the dress in person. The answer was yes. James told Dan where the dress was, and Dan went alone to look at it while James was on

the phone to our local Indian takeout while they were getting dinner. The one silver lining is that he saved me some cheesy naan bread. I showed James the stain, and he quite literally went red. I've never seen him so angry before. Some choice words were said and I'd rather not repeat them. He spilled a lot about what Dan has been like in the past. And that info is also something I probably won't share unless it becomes extremely relevant.

Conclusion. Dan JIZZED on my wedding dress. The splatter pattern looks like… man-nase. The substance looks like it as well. And I still wish I was unalive for doing this. It smells like it too. I touched it with my bare hands. I really don't know what else to say now.

I've been writing and rewriting this post since yesterday. Most of you were right and I really wish you weren't. I wish someone had snot rocketed a huge sneeze onto it. I wish Uncle Ray had accidentally squirted mayo onto it while making his lunch. But I seriously don't think I can wear this dress now. It's absolutely beautiful and it was perfect and I felt so' pretty. I was so pleased about the bargain I'd found. But Dan jizzed on it. A whole conversation happened between me and James that I'm too exhausted to remember and repeat. So I'll sum it up. He's furious, I'm furious. I don't even know if the wedding is happening anymore. Basically, James told me that the

way Dan spoke about the women he'd been chatting to was abhorrent. There are four of them at the moment, and he's leading them all on because he wants to get laid. He said he's in peak physical condition, he's conventionally attractive, and he's got a good job. So women should be fighting each other to get with him. He feels entitled to the affection of attractive women, including me. I feel like I'm going to hurl

just typing that. I met this idiot when he was 14! I won't lie, Dan's in great shape. He has defined abs and trains every single day without fail. But that kind of body and that kind of lifestyle just isn't what I'm attracted to. I'd rather eat and play video games if I'm honest. Apparently, Dan is incredibly jealous that James managed to date someone like me. I've always had a grossly effective metabolism. I don't work out, but I eat pretty healthily and go on a lot of walks. Meanwhile, James doesn't put effort into his physique, yet he managed to date me, who clearly puts so much effort into being beautiful, I don't. I don't wear makeup and I don't dress up. I haven't worn foundation since before the pandemic. James is in shape, mostly because he rides a motorcycle and that surprisingly requires

a lot of thigh muscle. Dan has supposedly always believed that I was better than James because my grades were better and I was in better shape. And that I'd break up with him and move on once I realized I was wasting my time. Fat ethical, I'm I was wasting my time. Fat effing chance. James doesn't care about how fat or thin I am. I was horrendously underweight when I met him, but my butt and boobs have always been

too big for me. I've been cursed with my mom's hourglass figure. My back hates me for it. I don't know, I just thought Dan and I were friends. James sees my sister as his sister, she sees him as a brother. She's always been socially anxious, so to hear that for the first time actually made me cry. I also saw Dan as the brother I never had. I always wanted a brother. We bonded over sports the few times we spoke. I never realized he thought of me that way. I really thought that we were brother and sister.

What the hell do I do now? I obviously have a wedding to think about, but I don't even want to wear the dress. I don't even want the wedding anymore. If there's a wedding, Dan will be involved. James and I haven't even begun to consider what we'll tell both sets of parents. That's a whole other problem. And what the hell do I do about Dan? I want to stockpile my cat's poop and throw it through his bedroom window, but obviously I know that's not the right thing to do. Even if my cat Hermes is having some awful smelling poops right now.

Maybe his name is a sign, LMAO. Maybe Hermes is the poop messenger. Then, two days later, OP posted an update. Long story short, the wedding is off. James and I are taking our closest family members and friends to a local town hall. We're getting married low key, just the way we wanted, and we're having a huge party a few weeks later for everyone who wants to celebrate. My sister and mother-in-law are making me a new dress for the ceremony and the party. It's going to be less traditional. I'm going to wear a cape and a flower crown instead of a veil, and it isn't happening in a

church anymore." James confronted Dan last night. I wasn't there. I was with my parents. He asked what Dan thought of the dress, and Dan immediately asked, "'Is OP sure she wants to marry you? There are better options. James asked if Dan knew anything about the stain, and Dan couldn't stop laughing. He thought that it was hilarious. He thought that it was funny that James and I were angry. Apparently, it means I'm a low-value female. Supposedly, it was a test to see which I valued more, the dress or the marriage. Obviously, I value the marriage more.

But because I was upset about the dress, Dan thinks that means I'm more focused on appearances. I don't know everything that happened, but Dan was kicked out of our house. I heard parts of the conversation on the doorbell camera. That's when I heard, low value female. Dan said that James is a loser who was never attractive and never put effort into his body so he doesn't deserve me. He was livid when he learned that I also don't put effort into my body. My mother-in-law is humiliated.

She's always been Dan's biggest fan. She initially thought that it was a mistake, but was shown the literal confession on the camera and then felt awful. I feel really sorry for her. initially thought that it was a mistake, but was shown the literal confession on the camera and then felt awful. I feel really sorry for her. He was always her little boy who played the sports she loved and did her hometown proud, which is where they still live. She said she was more than happy to pay for the cost of the dress and help my sister make

a new one. She made her own wedding dress and it was beautiful and I'm really excited for this now. I can't accept her offer to dress and it was beautiful and I'm really excited for this now. I can't accept her offer to pay for it though. As sore as I am about the price, it wasn't her fault. My father-in-law hates technology so I was absolutely gobsmacked when I received a text from him. He usually either calls or turns up in person.

I think James told him I wasn't ready to talk about this. He said that because of what happened, he considers me to be more of his child than Dan is. He's disgusted that his own son would do something like this. It's not the way he raised him. He's the worst with technology, and he asked me to block Dan's number for him the next time I'm around. I won't lie, I shed a few tears.

Dan's been cut off by his parents and his brother. He's been uninvited to Christmas and New Years. Unless he apologizes and puts himself into therapy, his parents won't talk to him. His parents said they'd pay for therapy for him, but I don't know how he took that or if it's even happened yet. My parents-in-law offered to pay for security for the wedding, but we've changed the location and the date. Also, we've told almost everyone why. Some people didn't believe us, like some of you haven't, which is understandable. Those who weren't told were told that a serious event happened and were concerned about our safety, so we're keeping the event itself minimal. Also, Dan did piss on my flowers in the front garden the other night.

He hasn't been back since his conversation with James, but police will be called if he does return and makes a scene. I've saved all the front door camera footage and screenshots of our text conversations and photos of the dress. Everything is documented and time stamped. If he decides to try something, it'll be the police dealing with him. I'll also be digging up my flowers and replacing them, likely with catnip or something like that because Hermes deserves nice things.

I'll be messaging the women he's in contact with at the moment. I don't know what I'm going to say, but I can't live with the knowledge that someone else could be hurt because of him. This whole story strikes me as jealousy. That deep down, Dan secretly desires OP and is bitter that his brother got OP instead of himself. So he jizzed onto the wedding dress as a way to effectively mark his territory, I think is what's going on. That was our slash best of Redditor updates.
