Our next Reddit post is from R-slash traumatize them back. This happened like two hours ago, and I'm still kind of shaky, but also weirdly saddivated. I'm a 34-year-old woman, and I was at Target in Minneapolis getting groceries. I've lost a bunch of weight recently, like 40 pounds in three months. Not in a good way.

I have stage 3 colon cancer, and the chemo makes me look like absolute hell. No hair, eyebrows gone, I'm wearing a beanie, and I look sick because I am sick. I'm in the produce section trying to figure out what I can eat that won't make me immediately nauseous, when this woman probably in her 50s rolls up with her cart. She looks me up and down and goes, Honey, are you okay? You look exhausted. I'm used to this, so I just smile and say I'm fine, but she doesn't leave. She goes, I don't mean to pry, but have you thought about maybe putting more effort

into your appearance? I know us ladies can get comfortable, but men really do notice these things. My daughter let herself go after her second baby, and her husband almost left. I'm standing there holding a cantaloupe, just completely frozen. She keeps going. A little makeup goes a long way, and there's some really nice wigs out there now if you're having hair troubles. You're still young enough to turn things around. Something in me just snapped. I turned to her and said, very flatly, I have cancer. Stage three. The chemo makes me look like this. I'm trying to figure out if I can eat this melon without vomiting. My husband thinks I'm beautiful.

Anything else? Her face went white. Like, actually lost all its color. She started stammering, Oh my God, I'm so sorry. I didn't know. I just thought, I got her off. You thought what? That I needed your advice? I'm just trying to buy groceries. She basically ran away, left her card and everything. Now I'm home, and part of me feels bad because she looked genuinely horrified. But also, F that noise. Don't comment on people's appearances. My husband's says she deserved it. My mom says I was too harsh. I don't know. O.P., some people deserve to be genuinely horrified. I wouldn't feel too guilty about it. Our next post actually comes from Twitter. I asked my wife for a divorce and she abandoned our five children with me. I regret marrying her.

My story is long. I want to speak my mind in a public space. My wife is very irresponsible and I regret marrying her for this thing that she did to me. Leaving five children with me and her going back to Nigeria because I asked her for divorce, this is someone that I paid for her master's degree and that I brought to the UK. Her first time in the UK was because of me. Some weeks ago, I sat her down like a man in our house. I told her that I wanted a divorce, that I'd made up my mind and I'd be moving out that week. I made arrangements for money for the children. She didn't say anything. She said, okay, not a problem. She just nodded and said she understood like she's been planning this thing. I thought it would be a conversation

or maybe she would say something, but it wasn't like that at all. She didn't even beg. Without a single word, she packed her things the next morning, grabbed her phone and texted me, I'm going to Nigeria, I'm leaving the kids with you. That was it. We have five children together. She also took the kids' passports, so I can't travel with them to Nigeria. How could she leave five children with me? For what? Is she not the woman in the marriage to cater for the children? What pains me is our twins. Their birthday is next week. She didn't seem to care about what would happen to me raising these children. And I was left there holding the responsibility of our five children by myself. As if nothing ever mattered, I was stuck there by myself, where I had to pick up

the responsibilities of a broken family that she didn't seem to want or be a part of anymore. The calls I made to her family didn't mean anything. Only her mother still picks up my calls. She left me with no support. Her family's useless just like her. I have to apply for a new passport for our children. I swear she won't see these children again. I married a thief and a wicked soul. She stole 3,000 pounds from my account using my email to authorize it. The first few days were overwhelming for me. I started to have a temperature like I was falling sick. It was like I didn't exist outside of being their father. I can't even watch the game or go outside. I could barely find a moment to myself. These children, it's like my wife told them to frustrate me with tantrums,

late-night beatings, and constant messes. And every time I looked at them, I realized she's not coming back. She wasn't coming back for them, for me, or for the life that we once tried to build. What type of woman does this? In the midst of it all, my sister has stepped in. She started coming over to help me, picking up the slack when I was drowning. I don't know what I would have done without her. It wasn't fair to her either, to be pulled into this mess, but she did it without question. She stayed up with the kids, cleaned the house when I couldn't, and gave me the space to catch up on some sleep. When my wife's phone is off, I wonder what she's doing. She dyed her hair gold. Now it's been 16 days since she left. 16 days of taking care of these kids sent to punish me

to hell. 16 days of wondering how she could leave without a second thought. What woman does that? I still haven't heard from her, and it's like she never loved me or even cared about our children. Her children kept crying, asking for her. Some days I'm angry, and other days I miss my wife. God is on the throne. I don't know what that means. I've been reading Joel 2.25 to 26 to restore my marriage. Out of curiosity, I looked it up, and those verses say,

I will repay you for the years, locusts have eaten. The great locust and the young locust, the other locusts and the great army that I sent among you. You will have plenty to eat until you are full and you will praise the name of the Lord your God who has worked wonders for you. Never again will my people be shamed. So he wants to get revenge against his wife for sending a plague of five little children locust into his life. All right. That's how I feel today. My feelings go from angry to missing her sometimes. What do you advise? It's like she never loved me or her children. What mother would do this? I'll get the passport soon, and after Easter, I'll go to Nigeria.

This guy's basically pissed. How could she abandon me when I was just about to abandon her first? It's so rude of her to not wait at least a week so I could get all my stuff out and leave the kids with her so I can go live my life. She has the audacity to leave the kids with me and then go live her life? How rude! Yeah, it sounds like this lady was planning an exit for a while and she's like, oh, now's my opportunity. Gotta go, see ya. Our next Reddit post comes from R slash Am I overreacting? Am I overreacting for sending my son, who's 18, to stay with his grandma because of how

close he's gotten with his sister, who's 14? I'm a 39-year-old woman who's a single mom. My ex and I split up a few years ago because he couldn't stay sober and wasn't reliable. We shared two kids. My son, Jake, who's 18, and my daughter, Maddie, who's... 14. I have Maddie the majority of the time, and Jake just started college nearby, so he still lives with us most of the time if he isn't over at a friend's place. Jake's had a rough road. He struggled with addiction in high school and overdosed two years ago. It was terrifying. Maddie was the one who

found him. She was only 12 at the time, and it really messed her up. She barely slept for months after, had nightmares, didn't want to leave his side. I got her into therapy for her. I got her into therapy for a bit, but she stopped wanting to go for a while. Jake's been sober almost two years now and doing well in school, but I've noticed this pattern where Maddie seems like she's his emotional lifeline and he leans into it. It's been a slow build, but these are some of the things that have made me uncomfortable. They're very physical with each other. He hugs her constantly, usually from behind, or pulls her into his lap if they're watching TV. She lets him brush her hair, which she never lets me do. She spends hours in his room with the door half open. I heard them arguing one night

and I went to check and Maddie's eyes were red like she'd been crying and her shirt was on backwards. She said they watched something sad but it didn't add up and she refused to talk to me any more about it after that. Jake is overprotective to the point of being controlling. He always wants to know where Maddie is, who she's with and what she's wearing. He freaked out over a photo she posted online because she looked too grown. When she goes out with friends, he'll text her over and over until she replies. Once, he even called me to make sure that she was really with those friends because I had to drive her to their house. When Jake has a bad day, Maddie cancels her own plans just to sit with him for hours. I've seen her sitting in the hallway waiting for him to come out

of the bathroom when he's upset. She's been wearing his clothes constantly. Says his stuff makes her feel safe. When he stayed overnight at a friend, she couldn't sleep and just laid in his room the whole night. She defends him over everything, even when he's being rude or short with me. Once I asked Jake to do the dishes and Maddie jumped in saying, he's tired, I'll do them for him. When I finally confronted them, Jake told me that I was making something innocent, weird. And Maddie cried that I was just trying to ruin their relationship. I felt completely crazy afterwards, like I was the one creating problems out of thin air. Eventually, I decided Jake needed to stay with his grandma for a while. It's close to his college anyway, so it made sense. I told him it was just for space, for both of them,

and I wasn't trying to cut him off completely or anything like that, but my ex lost his mind over it, saying that I'm punishing Jake for being a caring brother. His mom called me cruel for splitting them up, but didn't try to send Jake back. At first, Maddie seemed relieved. She was laughing again, spending time with her friends. But now she's moping, won't talk to me, barely eats dinner. Jake's ignoring my messages completely. I don't think anything actually happened between them, but the way they've been acting isn't healthy. I just wanted to give them space to breathe. So am I overreacting for separating them for a while? Well, worst case scenario is what we're all thinking, which is something romantic is going on, in which case definitely separate them.

Best case scenario, it is all genuinely innocent, but they're still way to attach to each other and they could use some breathing room, so you should still separate them. Either way, they are getting way too codependent in an unhealthy way, so I think OP's in the clear here. O.P.'s son shouldn't be using a 14-year-old girl as his therapist-slash-emotional support animal. Our next Reddit post is from deleted. So I'm a 28-year-old woman, and I've been seeing a therapist for a therapist for a therapist. about a year now. My boyfriend of two years, Evan, is an aspiring stand-up comedian. He's actually

funny, dark humor, observational stuff, mostly about dating and work. Anyway, a few weeks ago, one of his friends sent me a clip from an open mic he did. I started washing and froze halfway through. He was doing bits about me. Not like cute anecdotes, verbatim things that I told him from therapy. He joked about how I trauma dump after two glasses of wine, how I need validation like oxygen, and even mentioned how my dad leaving when

I was eight made me chronically online. The crowd laughed. When I confronted him, he said I was overreacting and that it's art, not personal. His defense was that comedians draw from real life, and he didn't use my name. But it's obviously

me. His friends know, our mutuals know. I told him it was a betrayal and he said, maybe if you could laugh at yourself, you'd be happier. I left his place that night and I haven't seen him since. He texted saying he'll take a bit down, but that I killed his creative momentum. I don't even know if I'm heartbroken or just humiliated. Down in the comments, we have a pretty crazy story from Kep anime. My grandma used to be a dental hygienist. One of her old patients from 30 years ago was a girl who was extremely anorexic and bulimic. The reason, her father was a stand-up comedian. And his daughter's weight was his favorite punchline.

So this little girl grew up literally being the butt of her own father's jokes. She would go to his shows just to listen to an entire audience of people laugh at her. And her father would brush off and he complains as, it's just a joke. Don't take it too seriously. My grandma said that before the lady died, she was literally skin and bones. The only fat she had left on her body, was pubic fats. Her teeth were basically rotting, hence why she was getting frequent dentist visits. For context, bulimia, whichever one makes you throw up, I forget if that's anorexia or bulimia, that will erode your teeth, which can cause the acid in your stomach, which is in your vomit, can erode your teeth. Apparently her dad was constantly apologizing and begging her to just eat

something. Too little too late, if you ask me. She didn't make it. She was never able to recover from her eating disorders and died from it. All because her own dad, the man who should love and protect her more than any other man in the world, treated her like a literal joke. Our next credit post is from R-slash 2 Afraid to Ask. An older guy I was dating got upset because I flew private to a family holiday. Why? So I'm a 27-year-old woman, and I was seeing this 39-year-old guy for a bit. Despite the age different, he mostly seemed kind. I guess the only issue was that he insisted to pay for everything and really liked to flex stuff, which at times was a bit of a turnoff, but I figured that maybe he recently got a really decent job and could finally afford nice

thing, so it meant a lot to him. He always liked to refer to the fact that he liked me because I wasn't pretending and that I was from a humble background. I didn't know what he meant by it, but I sort of accepted it. My family isn't super rich, but we're quite comfortable. However, my dad married a very wealthy woman a few years ago, who sometimes treats us to lavish holidays. Recently, she paid for private flights to southern Europe, and we went. This guy I was seeing wanted to drop me off at the airport when I was going to go, and everything seemed fine until I spilled the beans and had to tell him it's a private flight. Now, he's not super environmentally conscious, quite the opposite.

He got super huffy and tried to ask if I had some guy pay for this. After this incident, he stopped talking to me altogether. I haven't heard from him. Why would this be a deal breaker to him? I usually don't fly private. I mostly fly economy when I'm alone. But this was an exception due to my dad's wife, who was being extra generous. The prevailing theory in the comments is that this guy wanted to use his money to control OP

and when he realized he can't, he freaked out and left. I also don't know what the hell OP is talking about when she says, you know my family isn't rich but they can afford private flights to Europe private flights are like 50k or something like that oh yeah you know just 50k not a big deal we're not that rich by the way yo what are you talking about that was our slash top post from reddit and if you like this content be sure to follow my podcast because i put out new reddit podcast episodes every single day
