Welcome to our slash best of redditor updates where we have one of the sweetest and most heart-touching stories I've ever read. Our next reddit post comes from our slash parenting.

I'm a 16 year old guy who has a four month old daughter and my ex-girlfriend wants to go to college and I'm worried. Before anyone says anything, yes I knew about condoms. I was just dumb. My parents divorced when I was 10, but I lived primarily with my mom. The parents of my ex-girlfriend Tiffany who's 16 are still together. When our parents found out that she was pregnant, her parents kicked her out and my mom kicked me out. So now we live with my dad. During the pregnancy, my dad took my mom to court and got primary soul custody.

I know what this means because I had to go to court for my daughter. My dad sued Tiffany's parents for legal guardianship and they now paid child support for her, and they're pissed and refused to talk to us. I'm in my bedroom, my daughter is in her bedroom, and my ex is in the guest bedroom that's now hers. My dad made a deal with us.

We live with him until the age of 18 with no rent payment, and at 18, we need to decide what to do. I wasn't really that good with school, but Tiffany is an A student. So I took my GED and my dad got me into welding school. I finished in two months. I also work full time, so I do welding school at night. Tiffany goes to school and works on the weekends at Wendy's. This whole thing is a huge ordeal. We literally have no life. My dad helps, but not that much because he feels that it's our responsibility, which I agree, but it still sucks. I work from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. at a warehouse, and I go to school from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Tiffany is home by 2.30 and picks up her daughter from daycare.

We help each other a lot, and then I head off to school and she stays with our daughter from daycare. We help each other a lot and then I head off to school and she stays with our daughter at home until I get home and then we do it all over again the next day. When our daughter was born, my dad made us go to court. We each have 50-50 custody and I don't pay child support because she lives with us. Because I work full time, I can get health care for my daughter and myself and that sucks because it cost me $300 a month, and daycare is $400 a week. Tiffany literally just works so that we can pay for daycare and I pay for everything else. When we're short on cash, my dad will help because he sees that we're trying.

My dad has been our rock. When we're tired and exhausted, he will step in and give us a break here and there, but he makes sure that we have everything we need and keeps us motivated. Tiffany wants to apply to college soon, and I'm worried because I don't want to keep living with her, and I don't think that I can keep our daughter full time as a welder working 12 hour shifts. But she says that she wants to start community college and work, but she wants to stay with us living together since it's easier. Since I'll still be working,

it'll be best for us to stay with my dad. But my dad said that at the age of 18, we have to start paying rent. My ex doesn't mind that, but I don't want to keep living with her because we're not together. I'm unsure of how to tell her this. My dad thinks that she should stay with us as long as she's a full-time student so she can finish her degree because I'm already getting started in my career. I just feel that this is unfair because the burden is on me. I guess I'm ranting because I'm scared and unsure of what all this means. OP adds in an edit. I guess my issue with her living with us is that we're more like siblings now. We get along and joke and stuff, but since she's my ex, I feel weirded out by it.

Maybe I need to take a breather since everyone is saying that's a good thing. Also, I needed to hear it from other people and not just my dad, and my dad is pretty solid, and I should think and maybe and take him out to dinner or something. Then about three weeks later, O.P. posts in an update. My ex and my dad went to my ex's high school, and they were able to get her enrolled in college courses because of her grades. She reapplied for assistance, and we got a voucher for daycare, so now that's 50 bucks a week.

She quit her job so she can focus on school, but she doesn't start college until spring, so that's cool, it gives her some time. She still wants to be a nurse. I got a new job that pays more as a forklift operator and will give me an internship for welding, which I won't be able to start until November or December until I finish my classes. But still, they're paying me really well. My dad and I had a long talk about my fears, and he reassured me that it's okay to be scared, but we have a game plan. He's fixing up the basement in his house to make two bedrooms in a living room, kind of like a little apartment, because he said that my ex and I will need spaces we grow. He wants me to buy his house from him when I'm 18 like he did with his parents, and

till help me pay for the mortgage as long as Tiffany gets to stay until she finishes college and let her make her own choice. We all agree that this is the best option, and we're all much happier now. I guess I just needed to let it out. My ex and I are great when we're being parents, and now we're starting to feel a bit more secure. My mom and Tiffany's parents still haven't spoken to us because we aren't married. And that does make me sad, but it's okay, we have my dad. Tiffany's grandparents bought her a car

and they said that's all they can do for her and not to contact them again until we're married. The car needs some work, but I'm gonna pay for it to get it fixed up. My dad finally told me what all happened and I didn't know any of this, but it made me open my eyes to all of this. My dad met my mom in high school too, and they were together and got caught kissing. Since my mom's family are Baptist, they forced my dad to marry her.

They forced her to marry because they got caught kissing? I didn't know this, but in Missouri, parents can marry their kids at 15, which is why my dad has been so protective. They were gonna, oh Jesus. They were gonna marry Tiffany and I because she was pregnant, but when my dad stepped in, they couldn't do it. My mom and Tiffany's dad went to get a license for us

and they were going to marry us in their church. I guess I wouldn't have minded marrying Tiffany, but I would rather do it later. But yeah, that's why they aren't talking to us. My dad said that if that happened, he would help us get it an old, but he has no intentions of speaking to them right now. He explained to me that Tiffany is stuck, and while I might be afraid, she's even more afraid because she has no one, and I need to reassure her that we're here for her as family. I guess I couldn't see it that way, and it's good that I talk to him. Guys, there's still more story, but oh my god, the dad in this story! He is a lifesaver! O.P. has no idea just how much of a golden-hearted individual

his dad is. Oh man, okay, I'm gonna a bit choked up here. Father of the Year Award is going to this guy. I'm reading this story in, what, May? So far, this is the best parent in all of 2023 of all the stories that I've read. I hugged my dad and I've been hugging him every day now, and it's nice, it's made us closer.

All this information made me pretty sad and grateful at the same time, and it helped Tiffany and I really start talking more. Like yeah, we talked before, but we didn't really talk, and I didn't know that she was scared too. Also, the two of us are having days now where we get to just be kids together, as my dad says. So now, at least once a week, both of us hang out with friends who still talk to us, and I get to do a lot of stuff on the weekends now that she doesn't work.

For example, I've been spending more time taking our kid, Jelly, to the park, and going for walks like we used to in the pumpkin patch. Jelly seems to be happier too, and Tiffany doesn't seem as tired anymore. Oh my god, this is Dad! Opie adds in an edit. I just want to say thanks for thinking that I'm a great dad, but I don't believe it just yet. I depend a lot on my dad to help me. Tiffany and I are trying. We do take parenting classes that offer us a lot of advice, and we've made friends there which is nice. But I don't think that I would be this prepared without my dad. Also, Tiffany is on food stamps, and we take parenting and co-parenting classes.

It's my dad's rules. Then, gosh, how long is this? Two years later, almost? Yeah, okay, about two years later, O later, OP posts another update. Oh my gosh guys, I finally logged in to Reddit and I had tons of messages and I found this post. I honestly just didn't expect this, so I might as well make an update. Well, Tiffany and I are 18 now. I made my first post 2 years ago and jelly is 2 years old as well. My dad is doing really good now.

He finally has a girlfriend, and of course, he met her at Tiffany's Community College. She's an admissions counselor. Tiffany is in Community College for nursing, and she's killing it. She'll have her associates in nursing and then head over to her bachelor's at some point. But yeah, she's doing really good.

Come on, me! I'm about to move on up in! I'm a welder now, and I make pretty good money. Tiffany and I are back together. You guys, I'm a welder now and I make pretty good money. Tiffany and I are back together. You guys I'm gonna cry. Oh my god, this is actually choking me up. Oh my god, you guys.

OP and Tiffany and their daughter were on their ropes. They were facing a miserable, broken life, a shattered family. Their lives were ruined. But their dad, their golden-hearted dad, sacrifice so much to pull them together and teach them what's important. God, what a good person, I hope I am half as good of a father as this guy is. I'm getting emotional! Okay, okay, okay. Tiffany and I are back together. We started dating again and this new year's when she kissed me and it just felt right. But she made it very clear that we're dating so she's in the

basement which we've fixed up and I'm in my room upstairs and she makes me text her if it's okay to come over. Ha ha, it's just a funny thing that we do. Yes, I'm gonna marry her. Oh, guys, I can't take this. Okay, okay. I need tissues. I gotta take a break. I need tissues. We go to family counseling four times a month. Two weeks virtual and two weeks in office because of our schedule. We found that this helps us. It's like couples counseling, but not. I'm not the best communicator, and this has helped me with stressful times with Tiffany and Jelly. I feel like I aged the past two years. I definitely don't feel 18. I feel older. Jelly is the happiest kid, and she literally lights up a room, and I honestly just can't imagine not being in her life every second of the day.

She loves Pa. That's what she calls my dad. She has him wrapped around his finger. He literally spoils her all the time. I really love being a dad to her. I love taking naps with her and how she's just a daddy's girl. She's literally my shadow. It drives Tiffany crazy, but she's also really happy.

The two of us do go out on dates to like dinner and movies. Sometimes we just sit in the car and talk and laugh. Mostly laugh. My dad has changed a lot, and the four of us are really really close. He's so much happier, and I think that his girlfriend makes him happy, like made him alive again. He's always doing some weird teaching moments, like if Tiffany is irritated and walks away, he'll just say, well, an irritated woman tends to shop to get her mind off things.

Can you afford that? Little, so yeah, he's constantly with his little comments. I haven't spoken to my mother at all, and I have no intentions of doing so. Tiffany's parents did come back and tried to build a relationship with her, but they always made her feel like garbage so she cut contact with them. My dad still wants us to buy his house, and I told him that we have no plans on ever moving out. So I told him that I'll buy the house when either on 30 or when Tiffany and I get married, and she said not until she graduates and gets a job, so no wedding bells for at least another two years.

If you ask, Tiffany says that she doesn't plan on getting married until she's 28, so it might be longer, haha. Guys, this story hit me in the gut. This one hit me hard. The father in this story, Pa, good ol' Pa. He's the type of man that I think all of us should aspire to be. Gosh, not only is he doing everything right, he's going completely above and beyond. Doing more than the minimum, doing more than what's expected, he's doing like the maximum.

He's like the perfect, the perfect person in the situation. Not only did he save his son and his grandfather from what would've almost certainly been a terrible life, but he also created such a loving and nurturing environment that he and Tiffany were able to work past their differences and learn what it means to be an adult and a loving co-parent that they were able to reinforce their relationship and find love again. OP, if you are half the father that your father is, then jelly is gonna grow up in an amazing environment. I really hope that all of you have a good life, OP. Our next reddit post is from our slash relationship advice. I'm a 25 year old woman, and my husband's 28 year old female friend told him that I'm

cheating on him and that it's best to open our relationship and that she could help us. It all started a few weeks ago when we were having dinner with some friends, and one of them in particular began to joke that after 13 years together, surely one of us already got bored of the other one. And that surely the one who got bored first was me because I'm the attractive one in the relationship. And I know that comment affected my husband, because that night he joked that he was actually lucky that I paid attention to him. I thought that he would just forget about it, but he didn't.

He started asking me all the time if I love him, if I'm happy with him, if I would change something about our relationship and things like that. Yesterday while we were talking about it, I told him that I wouldn't replace him for anything or anyone, and he started crying, which was really weird because he rarely cries. I don't like seeing him like this, so I spoke with his sister who he's really close with. She told me that for weeks, one of our friends has been telling him that he should prepare for the day that I cheat on him or leave him, and she also told him that she thinks that I'm already seeing someone else, that if he wants it to be less painful for him, it's best to open up the relationship. That if she wants, she and her boyfriend can help us

open our marriage since it would be easier because we both know them. And this will help us because we'll be able to experiment with more people and I won't get bored of him and he'll also be able to have fun with her. Like the lifelong friends that they are. According to my husband's sister, he hates this idea, but if that's what I want to do, then he'll let me experiment with more people. To be honest, I hate everything that has to do with open relationships. If you like it, great, but it's not my thing.

I thought that I was always clear about that with him. That's why I don't even understand why his friend said that. His friend does have an open relationship, but she was never one of those people who wants everyone else to be like her. She's always respected us, so I don't know what happened. How can I make him understand that she lied about me

because she probably just wants to sleep with him? Then about three weeks later, Opie posted an update. I talked to my husband and he told me everything that his friend told him. Apparently she's been telling him for months that he's not attractive enough to keep me for long. That love isn't everything and that looks are important to everyone and that people who say they don't care about beauty are lying. That pissed me off so much because for me, my husband is really beautiful and I love him more than anyone in this world. If I didn't think that, then I wouldn't have been with him for 13 years and she knows that.

And the worst part is that my husband believed her because she destroyed his self-esteem with those comments that aren't true just because she destroyed his self-esteem with those comments that aren't true just because she wants to manipulate him into sleeping with her? She has to, boyfriends, or whatever you call them, and one of them apparently knows who I am. He told her that he would like to know if he could have a chance with me. That's why she's been messing with my husband's mind for all these months. At least, that's what she told us when we confronted her.

She also admitted that she likes my husband, not romantically, but physically, and that's also why she wanted to convince him to sleep with her, because she's liked him for years. Honestly, I don't understand anything about the world of having two or more partners, and I'm not interested in knowing anything either. I just know that I find it disgusting. If you want to have a harem, that's up to you. Personally, I don't want that, and I find it disgusting that they don't understand it. Just respect people who don't want to live like that.

Is that too difficult to understand? She apologized many times, but my husband didn't forgive her, and I don't intend to forgive her either. She behaved like an idiot, and it's impossible for her to win back our trust. On the other hand, my husband and I are fine. Of course, we've had a lot of talks about what happened these last few weeks and about our relationship, but we're fine. And that's all that matters to me, that our little family as well for us and our children. I really like this top comment from Nalalbai. What a selfish,

cruel thing to do. Chipping away at someone's self-worth until they're sad enough to sleep with you. That's low, like rain puddle in a landfill low.
