Our next Reddit posts is from Supergamer. My dad, a 60-year-old guy, met a 21-year-old while driving for Uber, and now I'm watching what looks like a slow-motion train wreck. She told him she was homeless, so he started paying for her hotel, got her a job, bought her a car, and in total has given her around,
Starting point is 00:02:02 geez, $20,000 in just two months. The worst part, he doesn't have that kind of money. He borrowed some from me under false pretenses, which I now know went straight to her. And his credit score is in the 300s. People have tried to warn him. The girl's friend called my dad, saying she's still with her ex and she's using my dad.
Starting point is 00:02:27 Her ex's mom said the same thing. Every time she tells my dad they're just jealous or they dislike her. It's beyond surreal. My dad looks like Danny DeVito. No offense to Danny DeVito. Has nothing in savings. And yet thinks this 21-year-old is with him for love. They've known each other for two months.
Starting point is 00:02:49 And, oh, geez, he already tattooed her name on him. He's even had the police recover the car that, he bought her multiple times, until the last time when she got him to sign it over to her officially. He swear she never asks for anything, but somehow he's hemorrhaged $20,000 since meeting her. I don't know how to make him see it. I'm torn between trying to intervene or stepping back until he crashes and then helping pick up the pieces. But it's getting worse, fast. Wow, really interesting reply from Fax Lombardi, who says, sometimes there's just nothing you can do. Don't give your dad your money. But on some level, the attention this woman
Starting point is 00:03:33 is giving him is worth the money to him, which is true if you think about it. Also, it's really hard to make a 60-year-old change their ways. You can alert them that they're being scammed and hope for the best. But realistically, young, hot girl scams old guy out of lots of money is a scam that's been going around for as long as money has existed. Our next Reddit post is from Toss Account by. My girlfriend's lady parts smells like lab rodents. I'm a 32. I'm sorry. What a title. Wow. I'm a 32-year-old guy, and my 33-year-old girlfriend and I have been dating for three years,
Starting point is 00:04:14 and we've been close friends for five to six years. We've been living together for more than a year, and it's been phenomenal. So I've been working in research labs for a decade now. I don't personally work with rats at the moment, but many labs in the building do, so it's not uncommon to see large transport carts full with live rodents. There are large carts with dozens of clear cages with mice or rats. There's a specific smell when the rat cart has been around. It lingers in the elevator and the hallway for a few minutes after the cart has passed.
Starting point is 00:04:48 I've only ever smelled this smell in a laboratory hallway or elevator. It's not unpleasant. It's just a distinctly rat-cart smell. I had guinea pigs as a kid. I grew up in a home with a mouse problem, and I've played with my friend's pet rats, all of which have a specific smell, none of which smell like lab rodent. Me and my girlfriend are both incredibly horny. We bang like rabbits, almost every day. I perform oral, as it's one of my favorite things to do. About three months ago, I noticed a different smell coming from her than usual. Nothing crazy, but different. It took me a few moments, but I finally placed the smell. Lab rodent! Her lady parts smell like lab rodent.
Starting point is 00:05:38 I figured she might have been coming down with a urinary tract infection or something, so I asked her if she had any discomfort. She said no. She's super open with me about these things, and over the years of our friendship and then romance, I've brought her cranberry juice and monostat multiple times, and she's always been open about these kinds of things. For context, lots of people think that cranberry juice is good for UTIs. Maybe it is, I personally don't know one way or the other. She actually was the first person I told that I've had an
Starting point is 00:06:07 STD, and she was totally chill with it and supportive. On the topic of the STD, my ex-boyfriend ended up passing it to me because he was cheating on me. She's also been cheated on before, and our history is one of the many reasons for the transparency in our relationship. I mentioned this because I know there will be comments telling me that she's cheating on me, and that's why she smells different. I trust her implicitly. She's not cheating on me. And if she had, which I have no reason to believe she has, we would just talk about it.
Starting point is 00:06:39 Besides, what would that mean? That the guy has a rat dick? I thought maybe I have a rat dick. After all, I work in a lab. I come home smelling like chemicals because I mount tumors on slides all day. I wear a lab coat, leave my shoes at the door, immediately shower when I get home, and put my work clothes in a separate hamper. It's not like I worked with infectious diseases, but it just makes sense to keep things separate.
Starting point is 00:07:07 I do not smell like lab rat at all. I've asked her if I smell okay dozens of times, and she says that I smell like I usually do. I asked her to elaborate, and she said that I smell like skin and soap. Lab rodent does not smell like skin and soap. There's not really a way that she would have been in contact with lab animals on her own. She works a 9 to 5 in marketing, which she kills at. No stories of work or coworkers or friends or enemies or her spin class or any of her general going-ons have ever given me any inkling that they involve rodents.
Starting point is 00:07:50 I googled rodent vagina and regretted it instantly. I don't know why I did that. Dead end. Nothing I know about the female body has prepared me for this. Every single article I've read about a change in smell has led to nothing. I've been desperately trying to find a change in her life that would have resulted in this change. She hasn't changed her diet, birth control, supplements, or clothing in the past three months. The scent goes away on her period, but comes back when it's done.
Starting point is 00:08:25 I do the laundry. I'm sorry, this post is so funny. I do the laundry and I haven't changed any products. Toilet paper is the same. There's no smell in her underwear drawer when I was putting her clothes away. Her shampoo, conditioner, body wash, body lotion, sunscreen are all the same as always. I feel like I'm going nuts and she's noticed how weird I've been. She hasn't brought it up yet, but I can see that she's looking at me funny when I do weird stuff like this. It's impacted our love life, which isn't the end of the world, but I know it's making her worry about me. How in God's name do I bring this up to her? Do I bring it up to her? I would do it immediately if I thought that it was dangerous. I'm not concerned with safety. I'm just bewildered. I'd be making an
Starting point is 00:09:12 observation on the most sensitive part of her body for my own curiosity. How do I even say that? Good morning, beautiful. Coffee's in the pot. Eggs on the stove. You have a rat. Um, word that starts with the letter P. Did, did you water? Did you water the rodent vagina? I mean, rhododendron? Smell this lab rat cart.
Starting point is 00:09:34 Remind you of anything? I feel like I'm losing it. I need advice on how to move forward. Anything helps. Any idea whatsoever. Down in the comments, people are giving opia some good advice. Rivens Undone says Absolutely do not
Starting point is 00:09:51 Put rat or rodent And lady parts in the same sentence When you're talking to her about this Don't even mention those words Or go anywhere near them Just say her natural smell is different Truly sage advice from Reddit today Yeah OP
Starting point is 00:10:07 Just say you smell different And I miss your old scent It makes it almost sound romantic She's like oh is it bad No it's not bad sweetie I just, I just missed the old you. Would that be romantic? Ladies, is that, is that sexy if a guy's like, hmm,
Starting point is 00:10:25 ah, smells like you. Whopler plopper says, maybe the lab rats smell like P-word. Have you ever considered that? Then we get to the Reddit post, the Reddit replies. Lucian Veritas says, Are you sure your girlfriend isn't a bunch of rats in a trench coat? And Opie says,
Starting point is 00:10:45 I was wondering why she, like, cheese so much. I thought she was just Italian. Maybe she's rats. Tons of rats. Like a hundred rats. How do I even know the difference between a hundred rats and a beautiful Italian woman? I'm also seeing a couple of comments talking about BV. I don't know what BV stands for, but apparently it can naturally change a woman's odor into rats. I'm a 28-year-old woman, and my 22-year-old female cousin just told me that she saw my fiancé kiss my twin sister. For backstory, I'm engaged in my longtime partner, a 30-year-old guy, and I'm in the process of planning our wedding. My fiance and I are at our family's lakehouse for a week-long family reunion.
Starting point is 00:11:28 I've been super excited for this trip to have a much-needed break from work and wedding planning and also have a chance to see all my aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. This morning, my cousin pulled me aside and told me something completely unexpected. She said she went upstairs to grab some clothes, and as she was walking down the hall, she saw my twin sister and fiancé talking quietly in one of the bedrooms. Then, she said she saw them share a quick kiss. I'm in shock! My twin sister and I have always been so close. My first thought was that there was no way this happened. I've never seen or noticed any tension between my fiance and sister, and they have limited opportunity to be around one another. We live about an hour from one another and are busy with work.
Starting point is 00:12:14 I can't imagine that either one of them would do this. I'm also wondering what to believe of what my cousin told me. I have no reason not to trust her, but I just want to believe that she saw something wrong. I don't know. A kiss is hard to mistake. So I'm telling people that I'm currently resting up and that I have period cramps and I don't feel well. I asked my cousin to keep this to herself, at least until I can figure out what to do. We're all staying here together for the week. If I confront them now, I know this would cause a huge scene. However, I don't know if I can wait until we get back home,
Starting point is 00:12:49 knowing that I'm just festering inside with this knowledge. For clarity, these are fraternal twins, which are the two twins that are born at the same time, but they're not identical. So there's no chance they could be mistaken for one another. Then OP posted an update. After going back and forth on whether I should try to snoop through my fiancés or my sister's phones, or just sit everyone down and ask, I decided that I would go through with the latter. My cousin actually came back to my room to check on me, and we had a brief conversation. She let me know that she supported whatever my decision was, and she would be there to back me up if I needed that. Wow, this cousin is a real keeper. While sweet, it kind of squashed and he thought that my cousin could
Starting point is 00:13:32 be manipulating the truth. And honestly, after that conversation with her, I couldn't keep holding the sin. I got the four of us together and laid it all out. I told them that my cousin came across them talking in the upstairs bedroom and witnessed them kissed. Whichever one of the commenters told me to tell them what I knew and then zip my lips, thank you. I didn't even have to ask any questions, but I could see the guilt flood over my sister. It seemed like my fiancé was trying to find a way to backtrack, but then my sister started profusely apologizing and crying. While she's crying, my fiance tells me it was a mistake and only one kiss. Yo, that's such an obvious lie. No one does a quick kiss for their first kiss.
Starting point is 00:14:16 A quick kiss means they've been kissing for a long time, and it's like a quick, you know, it's like an affectionate kiss, not like a, oh, I'm going to kiss you for the first time. No, no, no, no, no. No one does that, man. All right, sorry, this is, I'm getting distracted. This is where I said I wanted them to show me their phones, and if it was only one kiss, I shouldn't find anything. My fiancee hesitated again, but I told him we would be done if he didn't let me see it. From what I could find, my sister started flirting with my fiancé, starting off with compliments. I don't know if she was just stroking his ego, but their texts were very flirty in nature.
Starting point is 00:14:52 Up to this point, I'm pissed, but unsure what this means for our relationship. Until I get to one of their last messages that was sent this morning from my fiance saying, I know I should regret that, but I don't. I told him to pack his stuff up and we would talk about this at home. I told my sister I was disgusted, and she could leave me the hell alone. So I haven't technically called anything off, but I'm going to take the next couple of days to really sit with things. I can't imagine being able to go back to him after all this. I feel sick.
Starting point is 00:15:27 I don't want to be anywhere near my sister, but I would rather be here to have space for my fiancé. I think right now I haven't truly processed what this means as I'm seeing rid. As mad as I am with my fiancé, I feel so betrayed by my sister that has quite literally been with me through all my ups and downs. I don't think there's much worse of a betrayal than getting cheated on with a family member because you're being double betrayed by two of the closest people in your life. How awful. At least you found a lifelong ally with that cousin. Our next Reddit post is from Yeah, 1, 2, 3,4. I'm a 25-year-old woman, and I just found out why my ex, who's,
Starting point is 00:16:08 26 broke up with me, and it's making me upset even though I'm in a healthy relationship now. So I've been in a healthy relationship for about four years. We live together and we're planning on buying a house and getting married. The person I was with before this relationship was a long time childhood friend who broke up with me suddenly, out of the blue, with little explanation. I was very surprised and upset about the breakup at the time and never got any closure as to why he ended things. As we were childhood friends, we shared a friendship group and have continued to share a friendship group, meaning that we're often at the same social events together, but I deliberately don't speak directly to him or seek out any interaction with him,
Starting point is 00:16:48 as I feel like our friendship ended when our relationship did, but I keep things simple. He started to date another girl in my friendship group recently, and I was speaking to her and explaining how I was happy for her as she had been dating a string of horrible, almost abuse of men, and I was glad that she was choosing a safe guy. She then confessed to me that she's been sleeping with him for years, and that they actually slept together when me and him were dating. She told me that the reason why he broke up with me suddenly was because he felt guilty for cheating on me and that he had been confiding in her that he wanted to break up with me because he felt bad about sleeping with her. She was surprised that this was news to me, and I tried to keep a poker face and not seem upset. I feel conflicted.
Starting point is 00:17:34 On the one hand, this was over four years ago, almost five years probably, and I'm in a happy and healthy relationship. But I now feel so blindsided by this, especially as she was someone that I considered a friend. I've not spoken to my partner about this, because I don't want him to think I'm still hung up on my past relationships. I'm really surprised this reply from Apprehensive B isn't higher. They write, she 100% knew what she was doing when she told you. To be honest, she's probably just jealous that you landed on your feet, and she's still just with your trash. I agree. This feels like an intentional jab. Don't let them bother you, O.P. Why would you care about the opinions of cheaters and mistresses? That was our slash relationships, and if you like this content,
