Our next Reddit post comes from one cryptographer.

I'm a 35 year old man and my wife is 33. I've been in isolation since the start of COVID. I think it's time to move on from COVID, whereas my wife is convinced that she'll die if we stop isolating. I'm at a loss at what to do. Also, man, Jesus, the date that this was posted is super relevant. This is posted in January, May of 2025. We've

been in isolation since the start of COVID. And I mean, full isolation. I've missed my brother's wedding and the birth of his son. Our groceries are delivered. All communications with family is done purely via video call. We've essentially stopped talking to our friends because they wouldn't understand. This has led to other things like her losing her job. Her anxiety stems from working in the medical field and me moving to a remote only role. At first, I

thought of it more as a lifestyle change, something that is temporary due to the pandemic. But now, I think it's morphed into something out of control. I genuinely think that it's a mental illness, but I feel like there's nothing I can do. I think leaving and getting her help is the best solution as we don't have children yet. She says that I've left her to fend for herself and betrayed her, since as a husband I should support her and without me she can't continue living like this and forcing her to go out. I think that I've been at fault for enabling this behavior and it's clearly now out of control.

What other actions could I take? Her parents and extended family have tried persuading her and it always ends up in a screaming contest. You know the funny thing is I am literally in China right now while I'm reading this story because we're visiting my wife's family. This is or was at one point COVID central and let me tell you man, it's fine out here. It's totally fine to walk out the front door. I don't think you're going to die. I think what probably is going on here is that it has nothing to do with COVID. I think your wife has some sort of like mental situation going on. What is it called when you don't want to go outside?

Is it agoraphobia? I think that's what it is. So I think she just has some, you know, anxiety disorder that makes her not want to go outside and she's just, you know, fully bought into it. So unless you want to spend the next 20 years of your life in that one building, I recommend you move on my friend, or at least get your wife some professional help. Also, down in the comments, someone asks OP, do you mean leaving as in leaving her home

alone while you resume normal activities, or do you mean leaving the relationship as in divorce? And OP says, if I leave her at home while I go outside, then in her mind, that's divorce because I'm bringing the outside in. All right, yeah, this lady's got actual real medical conditions and she needs a therapist. Oh, it is called agoraphobia. Other people are pointing that out as well in the comments.

I got it right. Our next Reddit post is from throwaway Alice. I'm a 24 year old woman and I just found out a horrible secret about my fiance, a 27 year old man. How do I confront him? We've been together for three and a half years. Everything's been great. In fact, I would say it's the healthiest relationship I've ever had. He's been caring and sweet, just a little introverted. We've never had any serious arguments at all. But around two days ago he fell asleep with his phone on. He has it set to never

lock. So I decided to take a peek, not really expecting to find anything, but now I feel really stupid for it. I found that he collects videos and pictures of dead bodies, both men and women. He even has several playlists on YouTube ranging from funerals to autopsies. They're perfectly organized. None of it is over-the-top violent, but it's all post-mortem. I'm talking about hundreds of these photos and videos. At first I tried to blame it on his grief and the fact that he suffered way too many losses, nearly his entire family. However, these albums and playlists have titles with very inappropriate undertones. OP clarifies that some of these titles and images are explicitly sexual in nature and these

are titles that he wrote. and then I also found that he bookmarked two pages both of which display pictures and stories of deceased people again with very obviously sexual or romantic intent and even explicitly so for the stories I'm struggling to remember exactly what I saw because I was in shock but I think the titles being kind of like Dead Beauties or Dead Hotties. He's never been violent or expressed any kind of sadism towards me or anyone else that I know of.

He has spoken before about how he finds funerals and death to be quite peaceful and something he finds beauty in, but I never saw this as strange considering what he's been through. Now I'm not sure what he meant by that. I'm honestly upset, but I haven't been able to really gather the courage to confront him about this. I mean, I'm so confused. I never saw anything like this before. If anyone could offer me guidance on how to bring this up to him, I'd appreciate it. Thank you. I don't know, OP. Worst case scenario is he's a freak wannabe murderer turned on by death, wants to murder girls and have his way with him.

Best case scenario is he just has a, I guess you could say harmless in the sense that he isn't actively harming anyone, but still has a clear fetish that he isn't going to act on. But is that really the type of guy you want to be with either way? So if I were you, I would cut your losses and run. Our next reddit post is from throwawayinapickle. I'm a 29 year old woman and my fiance is a 44 year old man. That is a 15 year age gap by the way.

If it's relevant, I don't know. We'll see I guess. We moved to a certain race dominated town and my fiance is acting odd. Where do we go from here? My fiance and I moved here three weeks ago for his new job. I'm so proud of him for this. I helped him during the interview process, shaved his beard, lined it up,

and gave him certain things that I used when I worked in an office. I picked out his clothing, lined it up, and gave him certain things that I used when I worked in an office. I picked out his clothing, etc. We were excited about the opportunity. Although I'd be two hours from my family and friends, we thought that it would be a great start. Plus, the pay is amazing. Now, my issue is, I'm black, Caribbean, and my fiance is white Canadian. This new city is primarily white.

I've gotten way more stares here in the last three weeks than I have in my entire life. For example, I was driving to pick up my son from school and this lady almost crashed her car, breaking her neck, staring at me. This other gentleman in his car beside me at a red light again, kept staring at me. This other gentleman in his car beside me at a red light, again, kept staring at me. Just today, I had an older man I saw sitting on his porch. Leave his porch to walk four houses down, where I parked my car, waiting for my son's bell to ring, to walk next to my car and peep inside.

Whether my fiance wants to admit it or not, I'm being stared at like I'm some kind of new species of human. I started to notice when my fiance and I go grocery shopping. He says let's separate, separate, yeah, let's get separate but equal groceries. He says let's separate and meet up when it's time to pay. Odd, I thought, but I let it go. We went to Winners and it was the same thing. He said for us to separate. Then again, at an antique store, we were getting a lot of looks and he literally just disappeared. Like I didn't even know how long he was going to be gone while I was talking to myself before I turned around to see him gone.

He claimed he told me that he was going to the washroom, but definitely did not. I know that his job is very important in this town and he told me that he was going to the washroom, but definitely did not. I know that his job is very important in this town, and he did mention that everyone at this job is all Caucasians. Not a single person of them are any other race. So now I have this gut feeling that he doesn't want them to know that I'm black

because he's afraid they'll think of him differently. That's why when we're out, he wants to be a part. I brought this up to him, but he said that he just felt like I was being clingy lately. But yet yesterday we visited old friends and he was all over me, just like he usually is. I feel like this is grounds for a breakup because clearly he's uncomfortable about being seen with me in public, which makes me extremely self-conscious

and just sad. I feel pretty much even more alone. What's also relevant here is that OP has a biological child, so it's the fiance's stepchild, which is at least half black, possibly 100% black. So we've got a, I guess, racist or like or like pseudo racist married to a black person with a black child This is not gonna work out. It cannot work out This dude either needs to find his balls or OP needs to dump him. Our next reddit post is from snow beans So I'm a 24 year old woman and I've been with my boyfriend Who's 25 for three years and we just moved in together not that long ago. But recently something happened to me that I'm trying to recover from which my boyfriend did nothing to try to help me.

Two weeks ago we went over to his sister and brother-in-law's home for a visit and as we were leaving their next-door neighbor's large pit bull was outside after escaping from the fence. It wasn't closed all the way and bit my arm badly. I'm currently in recovery and taking some time off work as I ended up with injuries from it and I can't use my right arm. My boyfriend's reaction through all of this is what had me pissed. The attack happened out of nowhere and I barely had time to process it. Pretty much my back was facing away from the house,

so I didn't see the dog coming out of the fence. All I know is we heard and saw him barking at us when we left his sister's house, but he was secured. So I didn't think much of it. My boyfriend, however, was facing him. And I looked and saw the dog running out and biting me. Then immediately my boyfriend went inside his sister's house and got his brother in law and sister who ended up hitting the dog with a stick, which was already outside, but it still took some effort to get them off. But before that I was alone for about five minutes with this dog,

just not letting go. I couldn't get him off me. Now I'll get to why I'm upset with my boyfriend. Because I knew that he was outside with me when it first happened. He was the first person I looked for and yelled for when the dog wouldn't let go. And I was in the worst pain I've ever experienced. Afterwards, when I got home from the hospital, I asked him why his brother-in-law had to do what he could have done himself. And he admitted to me that he freaked out and didn't want the dog to bite him next and said that he was scared of

Blood and didn't know what to do Honestly, this kind of made me cringe to hear and made me mad because it's like you're a grown man Running away and you could have helped me I'm not by any means saying that it's my boyfriend's fault. The dog attacked me. But I think that if he would have acted quicker to get the dog off me, it would have helped me out. After he told me all this, I kind of started looking at him differently. I can't help it. Two days after that, I went to go sleep in my parents' house and haven't went back because I'm not sure how I feel about him anymore. So I just need time to think. I told him this and he thinks that I'm being unreasonable.

It's been a great and healthy relationship and I've been genuinely happy. I don't want to throw away a three-year relationship over this, like I mentioned. We just moved in together and he's been hinting at proposing sometime this year. I just don't want to be with someone whose first instinct in an emergency is to run away and not do anything. He even has me thinking about the future, thinking about when it's time for us to have a kid, if he's just gonna panic and not comfort me as I'm in pain giving birth. I don't know if it just made me lose feelings for him, which I know sounds silly, but I literally can't help it. I found out afterwards that his sister already yelled at him too, asking why he left me alone. My parents are of course siding with me, but I don't know if it's a just cause because I'm their daughter, lol. So I need unbiased opinions. Do I have the right to be upset?

Down in the comments, we have this story from Alba Gall. When I was 20 years old, one evening my boyfriend and I came home. I got, I'm sorry, I got out of the car first and there was a frog in front of me. I got scared and screamed and my boyfriend ran into the car, closed the door and shouted from inside, honey, what's wrong? What's wrong? Today as a divorced woman, I regret marrying him. Yeah, man, there's no coming back from this. I could, you know, we can't, not everyone is an action hero, right? Not everyone is Batman you can't expect every boyfriend slash husband to Hulk out and Punch a mugger in the face or body slam a dog necessarily

But you can at least expect them to stick around and help right to try to help you get out of that situation Not to run away and abandon you. It's like that old joke, you don't have to outrun a bear, you just have to outrun the other guy that you're running with. There's just no coming back from this. If a guy would leave you to die, then the relationship is over.
