Our next reddit post is from Positive Mirror.

Four months ago, my 27 year old sister passed away and left behind her children. Collectively, we've done our part as a family to help them regain normalcy the best we can. We've been by their side every step of the way in dealing with her absence and their grief. I'm a 23 year old woman and lately I've started to remove myself away from anything that has to do with her husband, Randy, who's 30. Due to comments he makes sometimes that are inappropriate but usually on the lines of how I look exactly like my sister.

I still make every effort to manage the kids to the best of my ability and I still have them on my days regardless. The bombshell was dropped a few days ago and my sister's clothes were strewn all over, along with her wedding dress, while my mother, my other sister, Randy, and his brother sat around. According to them, my deceased sister's kids require a mother, and her husband requires a wife. And since I'm an identical copy to my sister, I'm the one to fulfill those roles. Like what the actual F? I am fully aware that grief can cause individuals to say weird things and act oddly at times, but this is something entirely different.

The most dreadful aspect for me was they had already taken away my sister's photos and begun preparing for our wedding. I am very lucky because Randy's mother and father have not only selflessly taken me in, but also their grandchildren. Randy's mother is adamantly against this nonsense and feels that we're not safe around them, which I strongly agree with. I'm fortunate to have an opportunity to work elsewhere, but I can't imagine leaving my nephews behind in this mess. Yo, this story is biblical. Is it the Bible?

I want to say we're like, you're supposed to marry. How does it go? I think in the Bible, it says that if your brother dies, you're supposed to marry their wives. Is that right? So this is if your sister dies, you have to marry their husband. Kind of the same thing. I don't know, man.

This is weird. All right. Down in the comments, we have an equally creepy story, man this one might even be worse, from Commercial Net. Your life could become my mother's. Please leave. My family is Indo-Caribbean. This happened 70 years ago, but I've heard that it still happens today. My mom's sister died giving birth to her fourth child. My mom was forced to marry her brother-in-law when she was 15 and he was 30.

This was legal back then. Her parents didn't want anyone else raising her sister's kids. They said, the kids need a mother and he needs a wife. By the age of 22, my mom was raising 10 kids, 6 of which were her own with a man that she hated. It was pure hell. He beat her every day because she wasn't her sister. My mom tried to run away but was always forced to return.

The happiest day of my mom's life was when he died suddenly. She was finally free. Mom never married again and remained a happy widow. Take the job that you were offered. Your nephews will be fine. They have their grandparents. Find someone you love. Our next reddit post is from FluidRizMaster.

I found out that my daughter has been sleeping with my friend who she's known since she was seven. I'm a 43 year old woman and I have a 22 year old daughter, Liv. My good friend Adam, who's 42, has known my daughter since she was 7. He would even babysit her for me and my husband. My husband is just as much disgusted and outraged as I am. I found out 3 weeks ago when my daughter hosted a party to celebrate her birthday. She said that she wanted to do one day with her friends and then the next day with her family. She even took it upon herself to invite Adam, which confused me

because I didn't give her his contact information. I noticed they were awfully close with each other and it made me even more uncomfortable. The final straw was when I saw him caress the back of his shoulder and then I confronted her in private about this. She said that her and Adam had been seeing each other for about 6 months. I was extremely angry and reminded her that she had known this man since she was a child. She went on to say that she was an adult and she could make her own decisions. I stormed out and cussed out Adam for even thinking this was right. He fired back saying that she was capable of deciding what she wants. My husband got into the argument, which almost caused a fight to

break out. My husband and I left feeling ashamed of what had happened. It's now been three weeks, and my daughter is refusing to speak to me. I will not forgive Adam because I feel as if I don't truly know how long they've been messing around. For all I know, she may have lied about the six months and they could have had this going on since she was underage. The thought of it makes my stomach turn because if it's true, why didn't I notice? Everything was fine before I found this out and my daughter was a very well behaved child. I would never have imagined this. I feel as if I'm a bad mother because what if there were signs that she and him were involved while she was still a teenager? I don't know what to do or how to move forward from this.

Our next reddit post is from Manufacture Cookie. I dated my ex for two years. The worst two years of my life. There were some good times. Times when he was smart, funny and even kind. He was charming and courteous to everyone around us. He was friends with pretty much everyone. But he would hit me when he got

angry, drunk, or just had a bad day and needed someone to take it out on. Our friends think that I'm a klutz who kept tripping and falling or bumping into doors or falling off my bike. That's what I told them and they believed me. He gaslit me to make me doubt my own sanity. He called me fat and pushed me to diet to the point of a borderline eating disorder. Even so, I loved him. I wanted to leave, but every time I brought it up, he'd have some excuse. He'd beg for my forgiveness, promise to get therapy, give up drinking, pretty much told me what I wanted to hear.

He promised a change, but never did. Last month, I told him I was leaving, and he told me that he'd be so sad that he'd unalive himself. I fell for it and stayed. Last week, after he beat me up particularly bad, I tried to leave and he said the same thing. I thought that he was bluffing. I really did.

He never made an attempt before, never self-harmed. He always seemed to like himself too much to do anything like that, so I left. I just packed my stuff and went to a motel. Yesterday, after a week of not showing up for his shift, his job contacted the police who conducted a welfare check. He didn't answer the door, so they contacted his mom who told them she hadn't seen them. She let them into the apartment using her spare key and they found that he had hanged himself from the ceiling fan in our bedroom.

His mom is devastated! Our mutual friends are too! They never knew what he did to me. They thought that he was a good man. I don't have the heart to tell them. I expected to feel something when I heard the news, but I just didn't. I feel kinda empty, but I'm didn't. I feel kinda empty, but I'm not sad. I feel like a monster. He may have hurt me, but he was still human, and shouldn't

I feel sad about the death of a fellow human? I don't know, I guess I just needed to tell someone about this. I can't tell anyone! I'm the one who caused his death. I basically murdered him, and I don't feel anything. Is this what it means to be a psychopath? I don't know. Well, one thing is super clear, OP. You did not kill this guy. You can't ever really force another adult to kill themselves.

Unless you're like, I don't know, jigsaw and you create some crazy labyrinth of puzzle trap death machines, then I guess you could do it. But nah, you didn't force this. This guy did this by the sound of it to punish you, which is a bonkers. Our next reddit post is from Deleted. My girlfriend had pity in her course with someone and thinks that it's not cheating. Yes, we are in a relationship. I've known her since middle school and we've been dating ever since.

We were both virgins before that. Recently, she told me that she passionately hugged someone out of pity while we were in a relationship. When I confronted her, she said that it doesn't count as cheating because she didn't love him and she just wanted to help. But why the F did this happen out of the blue? After I showed her how sad I was, she was very shocked and said that she didn't know that it would break my heart like that, but I genuinely don't know how to feel.

She's extremely kind and beautiful, but sometimes very dumb. Her mother also knows it and tells me that she sometimes acts like a kid. But still, how can you not know that sleeping with someone else is cheating? Specifically the fact that the guy was way too old and he could have hurt her. She says that she's sorry that she didn't know and all and I want to forgive her because I just don't know what to do without her. I want to marry her someday, our families know each other and I know that she was just a little dumb. But I feel like my heart is way too broken.

I don't know what to do. This past week I was fully numb and I didn't say anything to anyone. I wanted to vent here. Okay so either she's just a run of the mill cheater who has a BS excuse about, oh, I'm just dumb and I was doing her a favor. Or this woman is literally this stupid that she doesn't realize that this is cheating? Either way, why would you want to be with her? Down in the comments, we have some clarifying information.

Someone asks, sorry, I'm confused. What exactly did she take pity of? Like what part of her deciding to have intercourse with someone else wasn't cheating, but just something to do because she felt sorry? OP replies, The man was a virgin creep and ultra thirsty and ultra old. She thought that she would be doing something good by this without thinking of what it would do to my heart. Alright, hold on, whoa whoa whoa whoa, this story just got way more complicated. Down in the comments, even farther down, someone says, is there a chance that she was tricked or coerced?

Is she just stupid and thoughtless or does she have like mental development issues? And OP replies, I think she has mental development issues. Her parents take care of her 24-7. Yo, how did this guy write this post and not include that information? That completely changes the situation and the dynamic! Then this girl was clearly manipulated slash coerced into doing this, and how does OP not even know the situation with her if he's been dating her since high school? He doesn't know if she's developmentally disabled, but he does know that she's taken

care of by her parents? What? Our next reddit post is from throwaway calmincrisis. I'm a 26 year old woman and I was served with divorce papers by my husband, who's 27, a month ago. I read them over and asked why. He told me that he was in love with someone else, his coworker, and he wanted to marry her.

I said okay and began the process of moving out. I own a rental property that operates like an Airbnb vacation home and I began the process of moving there. I took all my things, including things that I paid for by myself, like our gaming consoles. I also spoke to one of my colleagues, a 38 year old guy, about having him represent me. I'm a clerk at a law firm and he's agreed so we're moving forward to prepare for the divorce. My husband contacted me a couple of weeks ago, angry that I had taken all my things

and moved out. He was even more angry that I didn't have any emotional response and didn't fight for him. I explained that there was no use throwing a tantrum about divorce and that I take time to process things. He dismissed me as being cold and unfeeling and said some hurtful things about me, including insulting my appearance, the way I dress, and my hobbies. I took screenshots of the messages and sent them to my lawyer. We had our first hearing a few days ago and my soon to be ex-husband decided to represent

himself. After the hearing, he flipped out on me again and demanded to know why I'd become my colleague's client. I told my husband that I believed my colleague would fight for me and I trusted him. My soon-to-be ex was very upset and demanded to know why I'd chosen an attractive male to represent me, and he asked me if I was cheating on him with my attorney. I told him that I wasn't sleeping with my colleague and that it was kind of insulting to accuse me of sleeping with somebody else when he was leaving me for one of his co-workers. He called me a fat whore.

I'm chubby but at a healthy weight, and he said that I was probably paying for my attorney with passionate hugging. I feel really upset and I needed to get this off my chest. I'm glad I followed through with divorcing him, even though he seems to have somewhat changed his mind about leaving me. Yeah, one pattern I definitely noticed from reading these stories is that cheaters seem to think that everyone else around them is also cheating. So don't worry about it, OP.

This is just good old fashioned projection. Maybe the reason why OP didn't have much of a reaction about the divorce is because this husband is a douchebag and she's better off without him. Our next Reddit post is from Unusual Proof. For context on this next story, OP is 28 and her boyfriend is 32. They've been together for 7 years. Two days ago, my boyfriend proposed to me at a McDonald's nearby our house. I'm sorry, I shouldn't laugh, I'm sorry, okay. He got on his knees in the middle of us eating and asked if I wanted to marry him with the silver ring.

Some people were looking at me with happy faces and others had looks of pity and disgust. That's how I felt at that moment. I didn't say anything. I literally just sobbed and nodded my head because I didn't want to embarrass him. There are two reasons why I'm mad at this proposal. We don't talk about him proposing every day, but we probably talk about it like twice a month with him usually bringing it up. I told him that I wanted my mom, dad, and sister to be there if

possible and for it to be in a romantic setting. Second, I hate silver jewelry. I'm a gold girl and he knows it. I told him I would never want a silver ring and if he does buy me any jewelry, it's gold. I feel like if you're asking someone to spend their life with you, then it should be more thought out and planned. I don't think that this is the type of person I want to marry, but I don't know. I've been trying to convince myself since yesterday that maybe I hyped up the proposal in my head too much. I think anything other than what he did would have been better.

OP, honestly, you know what this sounds like? It sounds like he wants you to break up with him. So he intentionally gave you the worst conceivable proposal he could possibly imagine. I guess because he doesn't want to be the one who breaks up, he doesn't want to be the bad guys who he's going to force you to do it. And then he can be like, man, I proposed to her and she dumped me. What a, what a B word. That's literally the only explanation I can come up with that makes any kind of sense.
