Our next Reddit post is from Deleted.
Starting point is 00:00:43 I'm a 45-year- old man and I cheated on my wife Who's 41 it changed her fundamentally? She's always been this bubbly and cheerful woman with her beautiful smile never leaving her face She makes everything better and has the ability to make people happy around her wherever she goes now She's distant, silent, and I haven't seen her smile since it happened a year ago. When we got back together after a small break, she told me that she was fully aware about her declining love life and her role in that. She said that she didn't know if or when she could ever sleep with me again. She
Starting point is 00:01:22 said that she couldn't handle the pressure of needing to heal fast to not lose me again for me to not cheat again. So she said that I could still sleep with the other woman. She just doesn't want to know when and not in our home. I hate myself for what she's become, like a broken bird. When I talk to her about divorce, her tears just start pouring and she asks if I don't love her anymore, but I do. More than anything, but I want to set her free, but her tears I can't. The only thing she hasn't changed is her kiss in the morning.
Starting point is 00:01:58 She wakes up very early, and before leaving, she kisses me goodbye and whispers, I love you. I pretend that I'm sleeping. When I hear the door lock, I break down crying. I cry for a good hour before it's time for me to go to work too. I hate myself every day for what I've done to her. Sucks OP! I would feel pity for you, but I don't pity cheaters. Our next reddit post is from Difficult Figure.
Starting point is 00:02:23 I had surgery that had to be performed with partial anesthesia, and I received Propofol plus fentanyl for sedation and relaxation. However, I did not react too well to Propofol. Instead of it sedating me, it made me talkative and euphoric with basically zero inhibitions. It's sort of like being drunk, but much, much stronger by far. I remember everything that happened. I even remember what I dreamed about when I nodded off occasionally. I was talking about ridiculous stuff. It was totally embarrassing behavior and I grabbed my surgeon's butt and grabbed her boob. The memory slowly came back after the surgery and I am so embarrassed I could kill myself.
Starting point is 00:03:07 I feel disgusted like a predator, like a low level human. I'm literally so ashamed that I just want to die. I asked the doctors if what I think happened really happened in the end, but they said that I was just asleep. I could tell from her gaze that she was lying in order for me to not feel embarrassed. I'm losing my mind! I wish I had chosen General Anesthesia instead of listening to the doctors and choose partial anesthesia. The worst part of all this is that I can't even apologize. Down in the comments Avatar Dang says, I was under conscious sedation. I think ketamine or something while my doctors had to reset my broken leg.
Starting point is 00:03:46 I was convinced I was screaming, like full on horror movie screaming for an hour. Yelling at the doctors, telling them how much pain I was in, it was so vivid. The other thing I remember was not being able to move. Like a coma patient being fully aware, but not able to do anything about it. When I fully woke up I asked my doctors if I was screaming. They said that I never made a single noise and that everything was perfectly fine. They even looked concerned when I told them that I thought that I was screaming the entire time. So honestly it could very well be a hallucination. Okay so back when I was in college and I drank way more than I should have,
Starting point is 00:04:26 there was one night where I drank to the point where I was blackout drunk. I could swear that during this fiasco, I grabbed another dude's nuts. And when I woke up, I apologized to the guy, but the guy said, what, you never grabbed my nuts, what are you talking about? And to this day, I literally still don't know if it happens,
Starting point is 00:04:47 and he said that it didn't happen because he was trying to avoid an awkward situation with another dude, which is understandable, or if it didn't happen, and I just drunkenly dream-slash-imagined it, and I just convinced myself that I did, but it felt so real like it's... I can still imagine the guys nuts in my hands man Also jeez we have on the other end of the spectrum opposed from Morpheus MD dude. Don't worry about it I'm an anesthesiologist. I see people disinhibited every single day I've had patients try to kiss me patients grab at my crotch patients say wildly inappropriate things Patients grab at my crotch, patients say wildly inappropriate things, patients cuss at me, patients get violent, and patients try to bite me. I had a patient start writing in their own blood on the sheets. We don't take it personally. We know
Starting point is 00:05:36 the drugs that we give you cause people to behave strangely, and mostly we just laugh about it. Hads are good that they're going to be laughing at your story for years. Mine is the identifying information, of course. Don't sweat it, dude. Our next reddit post is from Character Fortune. I'm a 35-year-old woman and my husband is 34. We have two beautiful children, ages 5 and 8.
Starting point is 00:05:58 My husband is a cop, and as such works long stretches of time. When he's home, he doesn't have the bandwidth to be a husband or a father and mostly sits in his computer chair, drinks, and watches TikTok. Holding a conversation with him is nearly impossible. I can see the pain in his eyes any time he has to interact with me. The last good thing we had together was passionate hugging. Yesterday, he decided last minute not to come to a birthday party with us because I was being annoying for asking him if I could have one Saturday a month to myself. He rolled his eyes and said, I don't want to talk about this right now. I ended up taking both
Starting point is 00:06:36 kids myself to the birthday party, which is always sketchy because our son has autism and tends to wander. About 15 minutes into the party, sure enough, my son bolted. I had to call 911. The birthday party turned into a search party. It was an absolute mess. I was an emotional train wreck. Thank God we found them. About a 45 second walk from the building we ran.
Starting point is 00:07:00 When my husband caught wind of what happened, he called me a slew of names and then told me that, until you get your act together, he wouldn't passionately hug me. My love language is physical touch, so he knows how much this hurts me. He's already taken affection away. No more spontaneous kisses, no compliments, no tucking my hair behind my ears and kissing my neck. So now, no passionate hugging too. Last night, I think that he was dreaming because he pulled me onto him and I could feel his standard issue sidearm poking me in the butt and he put his hands down my pants.
Starting point is 00:07:37 I whispered, what about your boundary? And he said, oh, okay, you don't have to if you don't want to, then he turned over. I asked when we could passionately hug again, and he said, when I earn it. I asked how I can earn it, and he said, by not being a beward to me and watching your kids. Yo, jeez, I'm sorry this is lengthy. I'm in so much pain. How starved can a person be?
Starting point is 00:08:04 No intimacy for who knows how long? Oh man, oh geez. I'm looking at this edit. OP posted a long edit that's even longer than the original post and it's literally just her defending her husband. It's her defending her husband and saying that she's not the victim.
Starting point is 00:08:20 So, unfortunately, I think that OP isn't in a mental state at the moment to receive the good advice that people on Reddit and YouTuber are trying to give her. But you know, I'll give it a shot just because hopefully some of this will come through, but I doubt that it'll stick. OP, your husband is completely checked out. He's not interested in you, he's not interested in your kids, he doesn't really seem to be interested in anything except for TikTok and being on his own.
Starting point is 00:08:48 So, I don't know what's going on, I don't know if he's cheating or if he's just depressed or what, but your husband isn't really a husband anymore, he's just a pseudo-horny roommate. And to be clear, OP, yes, your husband is a butthole and yes, you are a victim. OP, I'm giving you zero out is a butthole and yes you are a victim. OP, I'm giving you 0 out of 5 buttholes, but still you need a reality check girl. I'm giving your husband 3.5 out of 5 buttholes.
Starting point is 00:09:13 Not only is withholding affection super abusive, but if he had done what he had supposed to do in the first place then your son wouldn't have gotten missing because you'd have an extra parent watching him. Our next reddit post is from Thoreauway. I'm a 30 year old man and I've been dating this girl who's 27 for three years. We're raising our two year old son together. I was her first serious relationship in a while. Before me, she was just casually seeing people.
Starting point is 00:09:38 She told me that she was pregnant very early on in our relationship, which I thought was odd, but she insisted that it was mine. My son looks nothing like me. I have brown hair and green eyes, and he has blonde hair and blue eyes. However, blonde hair and blue eyes does run in both my and my girlfriend's side of the family, so I figured that it was just genetics doing its thing. However, I still had a bit of doubt, so I got a paternity test without telling anybody. Not even my girlfriend. It came back that I am NOT my son's biological dad.
Starting point is 00:10:11 I was devastated, but I decided that I'm not going to say anything to anyone because realistically it doesn't change much. I'm still his father. I've been here since before he was born up until now. I make enough money to comfortably support us both, so I'm not worried about child support or anything like that. I don't even know if my girlfriend deliberately tricked me. Maybe she genuinely thinks that he's mine.
Starting point is 00:10:36 She may not even know who the biological father is, so I feel like bringing it up would just cause problems. OP, you don't know if your girlfriend deliberately tricked you. She just accidentally got knocked up by another man and forgot to mention it to you. Of course she's deceiving you, OP. I mean, maybe she cheated. Maybe the pregnancy was before you guys even got together, but clearly she's trying to deceive you.
Starting point is 00:11:01 Our next Reddit post is from Camera Guy. So I'm a 25 year old guy and about two weeks ago I matched with an 18 year old girl. We hit it off in conversation and I thought that things were going well until we exchanged numbers. My first mistake here was not verifying her age, which was the biggest mistake of my life. She asked me for a selfie which I gave, but it was just a normal photo of myself at my job. However, she sent me a not safe for work photo, which I was immediately
Starting point is 00:11:32 uncomfortable about, but the conversation kept going. That was mistake number two. We mostly talked about our favorite shows and our hobbies, and the conversation stayed clean. Fast forward two days later, when I get a call from a child protective agency asking about the same girl who they were being revealed to be actually 15. I was, of course, at a loss for words. The mom wanted to press charges against me for going against the terms of service of the dating side, which is understandable. The dad, however, didn't want the cops involved, and we worked out a solution where I could help her pay for counseling, which I agreed to. It was a lot of money, and it took me a while to get it all to them, but after it was all
Starting point is 00:12:13 transferred, I thought I could forget all this. I was wrong. Fast forward to today, I get a call from the Child Protective Agency again, and they tell me the girls in critical condition, and she attempted to take her own life. The agent then tells me that my name was put in the suicide note, and that she said our secrets were safe with her. I was in the car when he told me this, and I almost crashed. I didn't even know this girl, and all of a sudden she put me in her suicide note.
Starting point is 00:12:42 The agent then suggested that I called the dad. The dad was livid with me and I was beyond confused. I was as well and I explained to him that there were no secrets to her that I'd shared. I could tell that he wasn't having any of it. The only information that this girl and I exchanged were about movies and TV shows. He then said that he still doesn't want to go to the cops, but that he needs me to pay for her medical bills. I can't afford to give him any more money, and I'm beyond confused here because nothing like this has ever happened to me.
Starting point is 00:13:13 As I said, I've been crying in my car for the past 10 minutes before writing this. I don't know what to do here because it was never my intention to do this because I was absolutely gullible enough to believe that she was 18. I wanna tell my mom about this, but I'm afraid that she'll be angry with me. What do I do here? All right, halfway through this story, I thought that this was just some fake Reddit user
Starting point is 00:13:36 who was making a BS story in order to get karma. But, I mean, yeah, it is a fake story, just not the way that I thought. Opie, you are clearly getting scammed here. This is so obviously a scam. I briefly thought about not publishing the story because I try to avoid stories that are obviously fake, but I decided to leave it in
Starting point is 00:13:57 because it gives you information about scams that are going on out there, so be careful everyone. Our next reddit post is from Lonely Thoughts. My ex-boyfriend Tyler was very close to his female best friend, Lily. They're so close that people often think that they're dating. The effort that he put into my Valentine's gift was nothing compared to what he did for Lily's Valentine's gift. One day, a coworker of his confronted me for flirting with him when he has a girlfriend.
Starting point is 00:14:25 I tried explaining to him that I was his girlfriend, but he didn't believe me. He didn't leave me alone until I showed him pictures of us on my phone. I've tried talking to Tyler several times about how this makes me feel, but he always brushes me off and said that Lilly is like family to him, and I'm being insecure. Our anniversary was coming up, and a travel agent friend of mine got me a good deal for a two-night state of resort about two and a half hours away. I booked it and when I told Tyler, he seemed very excited. About a week before our trip, he came to ask me if he could go with Lily since she has
Starting point is 00:15:00 a lot going on and she could use a pick me up. I was shocked and asked him if he would really rather spend our anniversary with another woman. He just got mad and called me a cruel jealous witch and said that Lily really needed him right now. When I still told him no, he said that he didn't want to go at all and he left. And we didn't talk for three days, so I took that as us officially breaking up. As I was crying to my best friend about the breakup and being unable to get my money back,
Starting point is 00:15:30 she suggested that we go as friends. Well, fast forward to about an hour after we check in, and I get a call from the front desk saying someone was trying to check in under my reservation. When I went down to check, I saw Tyler and Lily. Tyler immediately stomped towards me and went off on me for taking the spot when Lily needed it more. And then Lily plopped down on a chair and started bawling her eyes out, saying, I just wanted a relaxing weekend to forget all that's happened to me. After a while of my ex screaming and her crying, security forced them to leave. The next time, real shocker, the next day on social media, Tyler posted that he and Lily were officially together.
Starting point is 00:16:12 Unfortunately for him, my friends and family are vengeful people. They all started commenting on his posts with comments like, isn't that your sister? Aren't you too related? And sweet home Alabama. He tried to deny the comments, but it was no use because the rumors already spread. It's been three months since then, and while nobody bothers them about the relationship anymore, it definitely ruined their reputation, and that makes me happy. Man OP, your boyfriend was for sure cheating on you. I think that coworker was right, your boyfriend did have another girlfriend. That was our slash true off my chest.
