Tennessee sounds perfect. Welcome to r slash top posts where OP walks in on her husband with his mistress and ends up in the hospital. Our next reddit post is from Deleted. Long story short, I was married six years ago to my ex.

We aren't together anymore because of the following. 1. He cheated on me. 2. I found out when I came home to him getting dressed in a hurry, in our living room, meaning they did the deed on my couch. 3. The girl that he was cheating on me with ran past me and ran out the door so fast that

she knocked me over super hard. 4. I fell against the glass shelf that was near the front door, shattering it in the process and cutting up my back. I also got a grade 3 ankle sprain. I was wearing heels and the fall was soap opera worthy. 5. After all that, I found out that he'd been cheating on me for a year.

6. He filed for divorce while I was in the hospital getting treated for my injuries. 7. He married the 20 year old that he cheated on me with and invited me to the wedding. And my wedding invitation said, let bygones be bygones. The audacity! As you can see, I'm not fond of this man in the slightest. but I found a good man who loves me and respects me and I'm getting remarried in June. The issue? This man had the audacity to email me asking to rekindle our relationship after 6 years

of not speaking. I don't know how to respond to his email without simply telling him to f off and I don't want to do that because I'm nice like that. Well OP, instead of replying to him, just forward the email to his new wife. Our next Reddit post comes from KeyComfortable. I'm a 32 year old man and I've been married to my wife, who's 30 for 4 years, and we've been together for 8. She's a stay at home mom. We have two kids, a 2 year old boy and a 1 year old girl, which is incredibly taxing for my wife.

She wanted a solo vacation break for a few weeks where she would travel to a few different states, visit her high school and college friends, go to concerts and do a lot of fun stuff. She asked me if I would be fine with it. I asked her if she could make it a couple of weeks shorter because 7 weeks managing our two kids alone sounded really daunting. Especially since work was also getting taxing recently. I do work remote, so at least that was in my favor. My wife and I discussed this for a couple of days, and I ultimately agreed with her that she did deserve a break because of what she had been through the past few years.

And so she took her vacation. The first week managing our kids alone was extremely difficult and I did feel like I was losing my mind, but I survived. My sister came over to help me from the second week on. She was honestly a lifesaver and I will be eternally grateful for her. I never directly asked my sister to help me, but I guess I indirectly did because when she video called me at the end of the first week, I basically broke down in tears. So from the second week on, my sister stayed over at my house to help with the kids, and

a huge burden had been lifted off my shoulders. I also was really able to focus on work and meet my deadlines. To be brutally honest, I didn't miss my wife at all. I was emotionally and mentally taxed, and I also had a lot of fun with my kids and my sister. I felt a sense of betrayal that my wife had actually gone through with a 7 week vacation. I slowly fell out of love with my wife. When my wife came back from her vacation, she was super refreshed and recharged. But to be honest, I was a bit indifferent. My wife tried to initiate passionate hugging the first night that she came back, which

I rejected because I said that I wasn't feeling it. The subsequent days, I had the same level of indifference in our day to day life and she probably noticed it but didn't say anything. A week later, she asked me why I was like this and I told her that I don't love her anymore. She apologized for taking the 7 week vacation and asked if there was anything she could do to fix it, but I told her no. We pretty much just went through the motions for the next couple of weeks before I finally

decided that I wanted a divorce. She seemed devastated when I brought up divorce, which surprised me because I already told her that I didn't love her anymore. She asked if we could do couples therapy or marriage counseling first because I started looking for a divorce lawyer and I told her that I needed some time to think about it. I spent a few days thinking about it and I'm still leaning towards a divorce because I basically just don't love my wife anymore and I don't think that marriage counseling can fix it. Am I the butthole for falling out of love with my wife because she took a seven-week vacation? Well, okay, so first of all, taking a seven-week vacation is crazy. That is a ton of time off.

Not only is it just a lot of absence from family time, but it's also crazily expensive if she's spending seven weeks in a hotel and like flying around and going to concerts, I'm guessing this is probably like what 30, 40, 50k? But it really seems like the problem here isn't that she took a seven-week vacation. It's that once she left, OP realized, you know what? I'm actually happier when she's gone. So I think that's the real issue, which is OP realized that he just doesn't really like his wife anymore and the vacation was just the opportunity to realize that. So yeah, OP, I agree. It sounds like there's no coming back from this. Also as a quick side note, when my daughter was, I want to say about 1.5 or

2, I had to go to a conference in another state. And during this time, I was away from my daughter for the first time for about one or two days, I can't remember. And I this time, I was away from my daughter for the first time for about one or two days, I can't remember. And I actually cried. I hated it. It sucked. And that was just for one or two days. So if that had been for a week, I would have been miserable. If it had been for seven weeks, it would have been torture. So I'm having a really hard time understanding where your wife is coming from that she would even want to be away for seven weeks? Seven days I could, you know, kind of understand and get behind. But seven weeks, that's like two months. Our next Reddit post is from Confident Space.

I'm a 24 year old woman and in two weeks I'm getting married to my fiance who's 25. The backstory is that my biological dad walked out of my life when I was three. He was the type of dad that I would see every once in out of my life when I was 3. He was the type of dad that I would see every once in a blue moon up until I was 7. For a few years after that, I would try to hold on to him and stay in contact with him. Then I found out that he got a new family and never contacted me again after that. Luckily, when I was 13, I met my now-fiance and his dad is amazing! My fiance and I were just best friends

and I would call his dad my dad and he really was the dad that I never had and I love that man so much. Fast forward to 4 or 5 days ago. I get a friend request on Instagram and it's my biological dad's wife. She goes on to say how she wishes that we all had a relationship and she wants me to have a relationship with her kids. They're like 8, 12, and 15. She tells me how my dad regrets not being in my life. I told her never to contact me again and blocked her. Sadly, my mom passed away three years ago from cancer and she left me her house. I don't know how my biological dad knows that I live here, but it's 2024 and with the internet, I guess it's not that hard. Well, my biological dad randomly showed up at my house two days ago while my stepdad

was there. And my biological dad saw my engagement ring and some RSVPs on my table. He goes, I saw that you were getting married on Facebook and I wanted to come by and say congratulations. I tell him thank you and try to close the door and he stops it and says, is anybody walking you down the aisle? I tell him, yeah, my dad is and I motion to my fiance's dad. My biological dad gets really upset and says, I'm your father, you can't just pretend like I'm not your father. You don't know how hard it was.

And he just goes on rambling. I tell him, you remember that you left me, right? Yo, then he goes on to say, well, you didn't contact me either. I told him, it's not my job as a 10 year old to beg you to be in my life. My adopted dad told my biological dad that he should leave because he was upsetting me and I'm already stressed out enough about the wedding and I don't need any extra stress. My biological dad gets upset and says, you can't steal my daughter from me. I'm still her dad and you're just her husband's dad and I will always be her dad.

My adopted dad starts to get really upset and they start arguing. I stepped away and said that I would rather crawl down the aisle on hot coals than ever ask you to walk me down the aisle. I told him to never contact me again and I want nothing to do with him or his family. Man, the entitlement of parents like these just pisses me off. You can't pretend that you're not my daughter! Well, okay, it's apparently fine for you to pretend like you're not my dad, just vanish out of my life.

What a douchebag! Our next Reddit post is from Octopus Catarm. A stranger told me how I changed her life years ago and that they never forgot me. I was out tonight with some of my girlfriends at my local dive bar and this random lady came up to me. We'll call her Kim. Kim gently took my hands and asked if I remembered her. I jokingly said, no, but I'm sure my ditzy drunk ass must have upset you at some point and I'm sorry for whatever I did. Kim stared at me for a few seconds, then asked me if my name was such and such, and it is. Now, I have a very unique name, so for someone to remember it after years or even one time is

impressive to me, but also worrying. Kim told me that I didn't upset her at all, but I helped and possibly saved her life and that she never forgot me. I was taken aback and asked what she meant by that. Kim smiled slightly and told me that she came to this bar a few years back with some of her friends and her then-boyfriend. While they were out back having a smoke, I happened to be out there as well. I overheard the way her boyfriend was speaking to her and I interjected myself. I introduced myself to Kim and asked her if that was her boyfriend and she nodded yes. I then turned to the guy and told him how rude and disgusting he was for speaking to her like that and called out our friends for not speaking up.

Kim said that at first she thought that she was mad at me for humiliating her, but on their drive back home, her boyfriend was yelling at her and punching the car roof about the way that I spoke to him and how Kim didn't stand up for him. Then she started to remember that she used to feel the same way, but she was gaslit the whole time that she was being dramatic. Kim told me that her boyfriend was even worse when they were alone and her friends were never truly honest with her and they just allowed that treatment to happen.

Kim said that she finally had the strength to leave that relationship and her friends behind and now she helps strangers if she ever sees anything like that. Kim said that she's been hoping to see me again because I was the only person willing to stand up for her even though I didn't know her at all. Yet I gave her the reassurance that she didn't deserve that kind of treatment. I started to tear up when she was telling me because I've been horribly depressed and I feel like a nuisance to people. Kim said that without me interjecting like I did, she would still probably be with him

and continue to endure the verbal and physical abuse. She said that I inspired her to not sit back and watch if another woman needs help and that she takes action. I told her I feel bad since I don't remember that specific incident at all since it's been years and I always call out abusive male behavior. And also abusive women, but we're not talking about that right now. So to me it was just a small blip. But apparently to her it was life changing and it really made me realize how important

it is to continue to speak out instead of just watch. Aww, that's a super sweet story, OP. Our next Reddit post is from C Readerholic. I'm a 23 year old woman and I've been planning a trip to San Francisco for around a year at this point and I booked my tickets a year in advance. Around about a month or two before the trip, the airline called me saying they'd like to upgrade me to first class due to my points and being a member. I had never flown first class before, so to say that I was excited was an understatement.

I made sure to do everything possible in the lounge before my flight and I was welcomed with such a comfortable setting for my 13 hour flight. About an hour into the flight, a flight attendant comes up to me and asks me if I'd be willing to swap seats with a 10 year old boy who was in economy so that he could sit with his family in first class. From what I was told, the two parents were both members and they had received upgrades also not realizing that their son wasn't able to be upgraded with them. So they got their first class tickets, but he was stuck back in economy.

The flight attendant began giving me options as if I had no choice but to move. And she was saying things like, I'd get another free upgrade in another flight or I could get a full refund for the flight. I asked her if there was any chance that I could stay in my seat because I genuinely thought that I was being kicked out. And she said that the two parents and I were the only upgraded passengers on the flight and there were no other first class seats available. So if there was to be any chance for the boy to sit with his family, it would only make sense for him to sit in my seat.

If this was a different situation, such as they'd overbooked the first class and the boy had purchased a ticket, then it would be a different story. But I got this upgrade because of how much I fly on the airline. The flight attendant accepted my decision and she was very nice and said that everything was okay and they were gonna figure it out. I never saw the parents because they were sitting far away from me. I did get shamed by an old woman in the seat next to me who told me that I made a child sit on their own for 13 hours. I get that a 13 hour flight alone for a child is scary, but I saw him walk up and down the aisles like every hour to meet his parents so it wasn't like he was alone. So am I the

butthole here? Yo, this entitled old lady next to you. Well, if you're that concerned about the little boy then why don't YOU switch seats? Also, if the parents were so stressed about the little boy, then just have one of the parents go sit in economy and let the little boy sit up front. Or, even better, here's an easy one, have the parents offer their first class seats to people in economy. I'm sure the people in economy would be thrilled to get free first class seats and give up their seats so the whole family could sit together. But no, let's make it OP's problem. God, these people piss me off.

Our next Reddit post comes from Flowers. I started to act like my husband and now he finally knows how it feels. My husband, who's 26, was the type of man that would like other women's pictures who didn't follow him, watch a bunch of adult videos, like Instagram stories and compare me to other women that he saw because he has a wondering eye. I, a 25 year old woman, tried my best to communicate my issues with this, but of course he brushed me off so I had enough and decided to start acting like him. I started to like other men's photos on Instagram and follow them and to my surprise,

they followed me back. I also started to act like I was watching adult videos as well and compare him to other men that I saw wishing that he would do the things that they did for their girlfriends and wives. After a month he started to notice and he started to be very angry with me about this and I would throw the same phrase that he would say to me in his face. It's just adult videos or it's just Instagram. He's now told me that he thinks social media is toxic and we shouldn't be on it. But now I just see this statement as a way of manipulation because when the shoe was on the other foot, he didn't care.

I told him no and now we're not speaking to each other anymore and I don't know what to do. 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.
