Welcome to r slash relationships where OP's girlfriend kills his pet snake. Our next Reddit post is from throw us. So I'm pretty much convinced that my girlfriend

killed my snake that I had since I was a kid. She's always had a problem with the snake. She would believe that it's satanic and a bad omen to have a snake in the house. But to me, the snake was like family and is very docile. He has no problems with her dogs, he'd just be chilling. Even her dog would just chill and not attack my snake. When we were moving, she kept telling me to get rid of the snake, but I couldn't because I really loved my snake. When we were moving, she kept telling me to get rid of the snake, but I couldn't because I really love my snake. Well now, I came home and the snake was just gone. No traces of anything, just gone and not to be seen in the house. When I confronted my girlfriend about it, she claims she doesn't know anything and claims that it probably escaped.

I find this hard to believe because first off, he actually can't escape his enclosure and I doubt the snake went down a flight of stairs and left through the door. I don't want to make a big deal out of this, but I think it's mad screwed up that she did this. I want to confront her about it, but I don't want to seem like I'm being petty. Then OP posted an edit. When I brought up the snake missing, she just started crying and saying, I always do this. I don't even know what she means by this. Then OP posts a screenshot of a text message that he received from his girlfriend.

Yeah, I released him at the lake, but I just want the house to have pure vibes, you know? I know that I messed up and I messed up real bad. It was an impulse decision. at the lake, but I just want the house to have pure vibes, you know? I know that I messed up and I messed up real bad. It was an impulse decision. We can pick out a new one, but something smaller like a gecko instead. Then OP posted an update. I went to the lake to search with my friend that I was chilling with and I couldn't find the snake and to talk to the girlfriend.

We're currently on break, but we're in the same house. Not sure how that's going to pan out. Then OP posted another update. I didn't sleep all night. I went to the lake, a 15 minute drive, and I found the snake. But unfortunately, it looks like it got attacked by another animal. It has huge marks on him and he looks impaled. Well, as for my girlfriend, I'm going to break up with her and go no contact.

But right now, I have to find a way to get my name off the lease papers and other documents too. Then OP posted another update. RIP Snake Bro. He's dead. Down in the comments, Old Paintycan makes an interesting observation. If you told me that a snake was missing from its enclosure, I would assume that it's hiding somewhere in the house waiting to scare the bejesus out of me at any moment.

Given that she doesn't seem concerned, she no doubt knows the snake is not in the house. Yeah, that's good detective work. Even though we kind of don't even need the evidence, it's painfully clear that the girlfriend was behind it from the beginning. I don't understand these people who enter a relationship and then either kill or give away a beloved pet and expect everything to just go back to normal. Nah, that's not how it works. Our next reddit post is from throwaway65. I am a 32 year old woman and I purposefully ignored what my 34 year old husband told me

he wanted for Father's Day. He's now ignoring me and won't accept my apologies. What can I do to make it up to him? Me and my husband have been together for the past 9 years. We have two kids, an 8 year old and a 6 year old. For Father's Day, all I wanted was a free day. I wanted my husband to take the kids out somewhere for the day so I could be home alone and relax. Instead, he got me and the kids tickets to have a fun day out.

And it was fun and me and the kids had a good time, but it irked me that he gave me the exact opposite of what I'd asked for. For Father's Day, my husband also wanted a free day so that he could stay home and game all day. He games all the time with his friends. He'll get home from work, maybe spend the time between then and dinner with the kids before going up to his office to game for a few hours with friends. Instead, I got him and the kids cards for an arcade an hour away with a ton of tokens.

I gave him the cards during dinner on Saturday so that he and the kids could leave early and spend all day playing with them. I got my free day, and he and the kids got to make a lot of memories together. He and I got into a fight when the kids went to bed. He was angry that I ignored what he wanted for Father's Day. I was angry that he didn't see that he'd done the same thing to me on Mother's Day. He's been ignoring me since, and he won't accept my apologies. So basically, your husband wanted a free day on Mother's Day and then also a free day on Father's Day as well.

In addition to being hypocritical, it sounds like this guy just isn't very interested in being a husband or a father. Our next Reddit post is from Popcorn Shrimp. I'm a 28 year old woman and I think a nap ruined my marriage to my 30 year old husband. I'll probably delete this but I need to scream into the void. I've been married for under a year but I've been with my husband for 6 years. We have a 3 month old little girl who's fantastic. I'm a first time mom who's a stay at home mom. My husband works from home. My husband's not dumb, just emotionally inept sometimes.

I've had a lot of resentment building since I was pregnant. His mom tormented me through my pregnancy by talking about miscarriages, stillbirths, and saying, did baby to me every time my husband wasn't around. She denied, he sympathized with me, but nothing was truly ever done. Since I gave birth, my husband's just been clueless. When I was there recovering, he would go home and sleep and leave me all alone because the couch was uncomfortable. I had to call him 20 times to get him to wake up and come back to the hospital because I

was lonely. Then when we left, he was asking me to carry things to the car with him. The nurse had to tell him that I shouldn't carry anything. I'd just given birth. When we got home, he complained about his lack of sleep. I was struggling learning how to nurse. He was my cheerleader through nursing. I have to give him credit there.

As the first two months went by, I was consistently balling about how sleep deprived I was while he was getting 8-10 hours of uninterrupted sleep every night. It caused a lot of fights because I couldn't hear him tell me he was exhausted without having a meltdown. Then his mom would come over and they'd leave a huge mess for me to clean on more than one occasion. He complained about the basement being messy so I helped him for me to clean on more than one occasion. He complained about the basement being messy so I helped him lift things to clean it up. It caused me to start bleeding heavily and my doctor told me that I shouldn't be lifting anything heavy. This is a point of contention because my husband continuously asked me to help him lift heavy things and I couldn't,

so he'd get annoyed. Then he'd complain about it all day. Now we're at month 3 and I think my marriage is over. We've been distant ever since the baby arrived and I haven't wanted to passionately hug or be affectionate. My husband's been asking if I'm alright a lot and I say that I'm fine. I don't know what else to say, but I feel miserable and tense up every time he walks in the same room as me. Today, he was on my case about walking our dog. I'm so exhausted from exclusively breastfeeding and I don't have the energy to walk her.

I've been up since 2.30am with my baby and I just couldn't handle anything else on my plate. So he whined and moaned about doing it, but he promised me I could nap. I snapped and reminded him that I haven't slept a full 8 hours in months. He got pissy and stormed off. He avoided me the entire day and locked himself in his office. I spent the rest of the day randomly breaking down in full blown sobs because I was so tired. 11pm hits and he hasn't come out of his office so I finally break

and go get him. He gives me the cold shoulder and I just break down. All the lack of support just broke me. I told him I hated him, I wish I could go home and I even mentioned divorce. He calmed me down and apologized for being selfish. When I asked what he did all day, he said he napped. He napped the whole day. While I was struggling to keep myself standing, he was napping. I broke down. I cried and cried. He was apologetic and showering me in, sorrys and I love yous. For the first time ever, I couldn't tell him that I loved him too. Now it's 2am and I can't sleep because I'm so distraught. He's snoring next to me and I just hate him right now.

I want to take my baby and run away. I don't want to live here anymore. Being a single mom seems easier than dealing with all this emotional stress and neglect. What am I supposed to do? I just can't believe I'm ready to leave him all because he took a nap. Then OP posted an update. So we talked. Well, I talked. He listened. I told him I couldn't do this anymore and something needed to change immediately or I was going to go back home and take my baby with me. He stared at me confused, but then he realized I had two bags packed by my dresser and was ready to

leave. I finally was able to articulate all the resentment that had been building. His mom's cruel and careless behavior, feeling abandoned at the hospital and now at home, how it feels that everything falls on me so he can bring a paycheck home. I realized after saying all this, I hadn't really told him how I was feeling, but just continued to bottle it up. He was defensive at first, and I gave him one warning that if this conversation was filled with excuses, I'm walking out. So he stopped and truly listened. He was genuinely remorseful. He only said sorry once at the end and he meant it. Then he started

asking me what I needed him to do. We made a plan and I finally feel like I can breathe a little easier. He has dog walks handled indefinitely. My mother-in-law is banned from the house and to have no contact with me or my baby. Once my husband's off work, I'm off duty for the day. I'll still breastfeed because I want to do that. I get a lot of fulfillment out of it. And if you saw the way my baby pats my boob when she nurses, you would too. Her big hazel eyes are like a drug. I'm typing this while soaking in a warm bath. I've been promised the weekend to decompress and sleep until my heart's content. I'll pump instead of nurse this weekend

and we have a stash of frozen milk that he's planning on using. He knows what needs to be done, her routine, how much to feed her, so I know he's capable. I can actually hear him unloading the dishwasher right now. We plan on doing something as a couple one day out of each weekend so I don't feel like just a mom. I can be a person too. We're going to go to couples counseling and I'm going to start individual therapy.

He's already in therapy. He didn't have a dad who showed him what love looked like. He had an adult toddler as a father who threw tantrums and verbally abused him and his mother. My husband often comments on how my dad drops everything in a nanosecond from me and how he wants to be like that. But he's not. He's failing me and his daughter That was really tough for him to hear

I'd like to hope that things work out here, but it sounds like this guy's issues are really really deep-rooted I hope that this is a wake-up call for him sometimes You know a person can have a coming to Jesus moment as they say and completely turn their life around a person can have a coming to Jesus moment as they say and completely turn their life around and it's possible this guy could turn his life around as well but I'm kind of doubtful. Our next reddit post is from growinggames. I'm a 28 year old guy and my girlfriend is 29. We've been together for two years. I always thought that she was very sweet and kind and I really appreciate how much she loves me. And while she sometimes got a little jealous, I didn't think that it was a big deal. Hell, maybe I even enjoyed being doted on like that.

It made me feel really attractive, which I never really felt like I was. Recently, we attended a work event organized by my company, and we met one of my coworkers there. She works at a different branch, and we hardly ever talk outside of work emails and calls, but we get along well enough. This event was my girlfriend's first and only time meeting this co-worker. On the way back from the event and the following day, my girlfriend was acting a little weird. She kept asking me about a work wife and asking if I thought that co-worker was pretty and other stuff about her. I know my girlfriend could get kind of jealous and I did my best to calm her down.

No that woman is not my work wife. I don't follow her on any socials. I don't even have her personal phone number. I don't think she's more beautiful than my girlfriend and I'm happy with my girlfriend. And my girlfriend seemed to relax and things got back to normal. A few weeks later, out of nowhere, I got a follower request on my private Instagram account from my co-worker. I approved and followed back. Her account is also private. That account was almost nothing but a few pictures of her in swimsuits, uploaded very recently. I haven't checked

and I didn't really scroll her account at all. It didn't look like anything overtly sexy, just normal vacation pics. But there was nothing BUT vacation pics. It seemed weird, but I didn't really care. Then, a few days later, she DM'd me on Instagram. It was just small talk and I replied, but it wasn't flirty or anything, in my opinion. She kept reaching out every few days, and eventually it DID seem to get kind of flirty. I told her this felt inappropriate and I was in a relationship, and I'd appreciate it if we kept things professional, which she seemed okay with. My girlfriend seemed extra affectionate the days after that, and while I didn't suspect

anything in real time, you can all probably see exactly where this is going. Still, at the time, I was happy, and my girlfriend seemed to be even better regarding her jealousy. But then, last week, I got a follow recommendation on my Instagram. It was my actual co-worker's account. This one wasn't private, it was just a normal Instagram account. And looking through it, that was where those swimsuit pictures came from. Here they were, just a part of her normal Instagram account which contained mostly normal pictures and not just swimsuit ones. I then put two and two together.

Before confronting my girlfriend, I talked to that coworker at work and asked for her Instagram account. And she gave me her normal one which I followed. And indeed, she gave no indication that we ever interacted on Instagram before. So it became clear that I was being catfished. I confronted my girlfriend and at first, when I was trying to be subtle,

she denied everything outright. Then she shifted to gaslighting me about it and saying that it was just a prank or that it was a test or that she was cheated on before and she just needed to know that she could trust me. I told her that her being able to trust me was great, but how am I supposed to trust her now? She said that made no sense and kept deflecting no matter how I tried to explain, going so far as to question how I even knew it was her if I wasn't cheating on her with my coworker. I told her that was unfair and manipulative and that I needed some time and I went home.

She's been texting and calling since, saying that I'm ruining a great relationship over nothing. I'm overreacting and that when I finally realize how much she loves me, it might be too late. And it's not fair for me to throw everything that we built out over some skank. But that just feels incredibly manipulative to me, and like she doesn't know what she got wrong at all. So I'm conflicted between wanting to just cut and run and giving it another go. After all, we've been happy together for two years, but also, can trust be rebuilt after something like this? OP, there's three individual problems here. First is the catfishing. Second is she seemingly had no intention of coming clean ever. Third is the manipulation and gaslighting. So exactly

how much evidence do you need here that your girlfriend is not a great person? This woman is 29, but this is 12-year-old middle schooler behavior. Also, I have to wonder, is impersonating someone else's Instagram account illegal? It might be in some locations. At the very minimum, she was jeopardizing your job because if the other person found out you're doing this, the other coworker, she could report OP to HR and get OP fired, which if I had to guess, the other co-worker, she can report OP to HR and get OP fired. Which, if I had to guess, the girlfriend would be thrilled about. I also like how she calls the other woman a skank. What exactly did she do that was skanky behavior? Posting bikini pictures on

Instagram from her presumably tropical vacation? That was r slash relationships and if you like this content be sure to follow my podcast because I put out new reddit podcast episodes every single
