Starting point is 00:00:00 These side marios all you can eat is all you can munch a soup salad and garlic home Welcome to our slash true off my chest where O.P. Realizes that his wife is attracted to children our next reddit poses from throw away My wife has been the breadwinner for years. I'm a stay-at-home parent today She left her phone out and open, and a message came in about how she would be happy once she loses the dead weight. I opened the messages, and I was met with so many messages, talking about how she wanted out
Starting point is 00:00:37 that I'm not sexy anymore, and that we never passionately hug. I admit that our love life has been lacking, because frankly, it's hard to want to be with her recently, what with literally having to pick up after her more than our two-year-old. I swear, once we get divorced, she'll be living in a certified rat's nest of her car as any indication, rotten food, gnats everywhere. Ew.
Starting point is 00:01:01 But still, I didn't know that she had gone this far. She had been pushing me to get a job and I'd been applying because the kids will be old enough for school soon and maybe a couple of years of daycare would help them get adjusted. It turns out the real reason is because she's concerned that she may have to pay Alamoni on top of child support. Men can sue for Alamoni in my state. Also, our prenup has it included. I saw in her messages that my wife
Starting point is 00:01:26 only once visitation. So, I'm no longer looking for a job. I'm gonna see an attorney tomorrow with screenshots of everything and voice recordings of the voice messages. I'm not sure if she's cheating yet, but I hope to wait it out until she does, because our prenup has some really harsh clauses about cheating. I won't say a word and I'll continue gathering evidence and waiting until she hands me the papers. I can't wait to see the look on her face when she finds out all the information I have. I wonder how bad it'll sting. OP, I wish you luck, and I sincerely hope to see you over on our slash best of reddit
Starting point is 00:02:03 updates in like a couple of months or so. Our next reddit post is from Sorry Not Sorry. I'm a 41 year old man and my best friend since kindergarten, Jack, is also 41. He cheated on his wife, Anna, who's 39, with a girl half as age, Maxine, who's 25. Anna is one of the best human beings I've ever met. She's beautiful, kind, and caring. She's very successful too. When Jack met her, he was so in love that he wrote an ironclad prenup just to be with
Starting point is 00:02:34 her. In other words, Jack is completely broke. He met Maxine on a work trip and it was then that he cheated on Anna. The affair lasted for two months until Maxine made an ultimatum, to leave his wife for her. Jack refused and tried to end the affair, so Maxine told Anna everything. This broke Anna beyond repair, and she told Jack that she couldn't forgive him. They're in the process of divorcing now, and Jack lived in a small studio apartment near his work. After Jack lost hope of reconciling with Anna,
Starting point is 00:03:06 he started seeing Maxine again. Now they're officially dating. My wife Patricia, who's 32, knows all these details. She's a more forgiving and understanding person than I am, and I love that about her. She is way more tolerant because I'm team Anna and there's nothing Jack can say to make me change my opinion. Now that Jack's divorce is settled, my wife said that she went into invite Jack and his new girlfriend to our place. I was very reluctant at first, but my wife insisted that my friendship with Jack is important.
Starting point is 00:03:36 We're basically brothers, and we should accept people we love even with their flaws. That made sense, and I trust my wife to always make sense. The dinner was awkward. I couldn't see past these two cheaters. Jack pretended to be happy, and Maxine was overexcited over the fact that she won Jack. I understood then that things wouldn't be the same, but my wife was right. I do love Jack, and that's the most important thing right now. Maxine talked about her upbringing and the hard life that she had growing up. She talked about her future with Jack and all the fun they'd have. It then dawned on me that Maxine didn't know that they couldn't do half of what she was
Starting point is 00:04:16 dreaming of with Jack's salary. It dawned on me why Maxine chose Jack and why she was so willing to hurt an innocent woman that way. Maxine knew that Jack lived in fancy hotels and drove a fancy car. When I asked them about their living arrangements, Maxine said that Jack temporarily was living in a studio apartment until his divorce was settled. Maxine talked about what she would do to their new home, renovating it and redecorating it.
Starting point is 00:04:42 The new home that she was talking about was an apartment that Anna bought for her family with her hard-earned money, the one that she decorated with her husband from scratch to make it their home. I remember how happy and full of dreams Anna was when she found her dream home. I had to sit there and listen to Maxine talk about how she would use money that she never earned to redecorate a home that she wasn't entitled to. She was making fun of another woman's taste and style. It brought tears to my eyes. Yes, men can get emotional too.
Starting point is 00:05:12 Obviously, Jack has not told Maxine the truth. When they left, Patricia and I started discussing our dear friends. I was very surprised when Patricia angrily told me that I was cruel and callous for not wanting to enlighten Maxine about her new situation. My wife thought that Maxine had a tough life and she deserved to have a good life now. I was taken aback by my wife's logic. I told my wife that I wouldn't tell Maxine anything, but if she wanted to, then be my guest. But now I don't understand my wife and I'm turned off by her morals.
Starting point is 00:05:45 Anna was a great friend to my wife, but my wife doesn't seem to give an F about her. My wife then got very angry and accused me of caring too much about Anna. That's when I ended the discussion because I realized that this was going below the belt. I don't know, this whole story is kinda weird to me. For one, I don't really understand why your wife would be sympathetic to Maxine because Maxine is a home wrecker and she's getting what she deserves. But at the same time, I don't understand why OP is arguing with his wife over Anna. Like is Anna really that important to you, OP?
Starting point is 00:06:18 Hold on, what did you say? You said, Anna is one of the best human beings I've ever met. She's beautiful, kind and caring. Do you talk about Anna like that to your wife? Because maybe that's why she took Jack's side. I have to wonder if maybe your wife thinks that you're secretly in love with Anna because obviously you compliment her so much.
Starting point is 00:06:36 Well, in any event, Maxine is in for a rude awakening. And my guess is that the second she finds out, she's gonna dump her boyfriend. Our next reddit post is from Throwaway HateWifeBF. I hate my wife's best friend, and I'm thinking of divorcing her over this. I'm a 26 year old man, and my wife Kate is 26. I hate my wife's best friend, Lisa, who's 26. Some backstory.
Starting point is 00:07:00 I met my wife when we were in high school and we had the same friend group. After a few months of knowing Katie, I fell in love with her. I ended up confessing my love for her since we went out on many dates. We dated for about six years, then I proposed to her. We both were extremely happy with each other. We told our family and friends. Lisa, whom my wife has known since they were seven years old, wasn't so happy nor did she congratulate us. At the time, I didn't really wonder why she wasn't happy that her best friend got engaged. My wife asked Lisa to be her maid of honor. After four years of marriage, I noticed that my wife, for some odd reason, changed her mind about a lot of stuff. Lisa
Starting point is 00:07:40 started to visit my wife three to four times a week, but after every time Lisa visited us, me and my wife would have a disagreement over small things, like her wanting to become a housewife and that I have a problem with it. To be clear, I don't have a problem with the whatsoever. After two months of this, my wife moved back in with her parents for some space. After she randomly came back, she stopped trusting me with simple tasks. After my wife became pregnant since May of this year, I noticed that when Lisa came to our house, my wife started to change. A month ago, I came home early, and I couldn't help myself,
Starting point is 00:08:16 but overhear their conversations without their knowledge, and I heard Lisa talking bad about me, and telling my wife that she should abort the baby so the baby sign wouldn't be an Aquarius? My heart broke when I heard my wife saying that she was considering doing that. Since I trust my wife, I said nothing, but after a month she talked to me about aborting the baby. I disagreed with her and she said nothing. Yesterday, I noticed that my wife lost a lot of weight, and she
Starting point is 00:08:45 broke down sobbing, telling me that she aborted the baby a week ago without telling me. I was livid at what she said, so I shouted at her and told her that she shouldn't listen to all of Lisa's BS. My wife started defending Lisa, saying that I shouldn't talk about her best friend like that. I yelled at her more, saying that Lisa does nothing but brainwasher. I packed all of my stuff and asked my older brother if I could stay with him for a few weeks. I told him everything, and now I'm thinking of divorcing my wife over this. Opie, your wife aborted your child without even talking to you over a zodiac sign. Your wife prefers her friend over you.

Starting point is 00:10:34 I've realized that my wife is a predator. I never really used to think about it too much or find it weird, but seeing my daughter grow up, it's been harder to ignore. My daughter is 13 and it kind of finally dawned on me how wrong our relationship is. I haven't said anything to my wife yet and I don't know how to really deal with it. My high school head, I guess you could call it a mentorship program where they had some older students come help out the new ones adjust to high school. The basic idea was that we'd be able to talk to older students about things and get advice that teachers wouldn't be able to give. Though it wasn't intensive or huge or anything. I had just started high school so I would have been about 12 while my
Starting point is 00:11:15 wife was 18. I was a shy kid and I struggled with school, but she basically took me under her wing. No other mentor student acted like she did, but she made it seem like it was about helping me. At first, she said that I reminded her of herself when she was younger. While later on, she would say it was because she loved me. It started normal, but slowly gotten more appropriate. When I was 14, we started secretly dating
Starting point is 00:11:42 and started openly dating when I was 16. We got married and had openly dating when I was 16. We got married and had our daughter when I was 19. My parents didn't care, they liked her and they still do. They think that I'm lucky to have a wife like her. For me, it all seems so normal. I loved her, I still love her so much. Our relationship has been so happy. Yet just imagining this happening to my daughter makes me feel disgusted.
Starting point is 00:12:06 The more I think about it, the more conflict I feel. I love her, so I'm happy with her. I don't want to lose her, but I feel so angry and disgusted. I don't know how she could do that, but then I can't imagine life without her, and especially our daughter. It feels so horrible, but it's not like I can do anything about it. I don't even know if I want to. It's just not fair.
Starting point is 00:12:29 Yeah, the fact that she was dating you in secret pretty much verifies the fact that your wife knew what she was doing was wrong, but chose to do it anyways. So she would have been, what, 20 years old and dating a 14-year-old? If the genders were reversed and a 20 year old guy were dating a 14 year old girl after grooming him for two years, people would be running for their pitch forks and torches, man.
Starting point is 00:12:52 So, man, this kind of feels above my pay grade. OP, I recommend therapy and I recommend taking some time to sort out your feelings before you make any big decisions. Our next reddit post is from deleted. I met my husband through his brother, Chris, who I had a crush on in college. I was never clingy and I never acted on my feelings, and I never really allowed myself to get too close to him because I knew that my feelings weren't reciprocated.
Starting point is 00:13:17 However, Chris knew that I had a crush on him, or at least he felt it. He would always say to me that I was girlfriend material and how he wouldn't want to lead me on. He wanted me to have fun before that. He would say these types of things to other people, but he would never say them directly to my face. On two occasions, he texted me that he had feelings for me, only to later apologize and retract his words. But on Christmas four years ago, he texted me that he was in love with me, and he wanted to take me out on a, he texted me that he was in love with me, and he wanted to take me out on a date. He said that he was done playing around in one of the relationships.
Starting point is 00:13:50 Me and my roommate invited him to our New Year's Eve party. When Chris came to the party, he had his brother with him. Chris spent the party going out of his way to ignore me, and later I saw him making out with my roommate, and they spent the night in her room. I decided then and there that I would drop it, enough is enough. Next morning, he told me that he messed up and he apologized. During the party, I got to know his brother who was the complete opposite of Chris. He was shy and hated attention, and he was just the best, and soon after that he asked
Starting point is 00:14:24 me on a date. We're married now, our wedding was last Wednesday. I want to make two things clear. I never went beyond just having a crush on Chris, and only after I fell for my husband, did I truly understand what love is. My husband is everything to me, and I love him more than anything. I never told anyone about my crush,
Starting point is 00:14:43 and when I met my husband, I didn't tell him either. Chris wasn't happy that I was seeing his brother and he's been cold towards me since. Even when it got serious between my husband and I, Chris had a speech at our rehearsal dinner. And he basically revealed everything and ended the speech with how he regretted not asking me out sooner and how he'll always regret it. It was very awkward, and nobody talked, and on our wedding day, my husband did everything to act normal, and he made sure that everything was his plan. But I could feel that he was hurt and angry. After the party, he asked me if I loved Chris, and if I dated him for that reason. I started crying because it's absolutely not true. We started
Starting point is 00:15:25 dating and became friends and I made sure that it was him that I wanted before committing and I never loved anyone like I loved my husband. I told my husband all this and more and I apologize so much for not telling him everything. At the beginning, I thought that my crush on Chris was my own private matter and I didn't feel the need to discuss it with someone who was at the time a stranger to me. When our relationship evolved, I just never thought that Chris was relevant, and my crush seemed like a silly thing. Now it's back to bite me in the butt. My husband is very sad, and he barely talks to me. We're leaving for our honeymoon in two weeks.
Starting point is 00:16:02 He barely speaks about it. The thing is, we both waited with so much anticipation and longing. I don't know what to do. I can't turn back time, so I don't know what to do. Ah, man, OP. I don't wanna be too harsh on you because you seem like a decent person who got stuck in a bad situation,
Starting point is 00:16:20 but you really should have told your husband. But you didn't, and now you're awful, terrible brother-in-law out at everything. So I guess the best thing you can do is comfort your husband, build him up, and convince him that he's the one that you love. Good luck, OP. Your husband sounds like a decent guy,
Starting point is 00:16:36 but your brother-in-law sounds awful. I kinda got the vibe from this story that Chris was treating you as a backup plan, that he kind of thought you were attractive, and he did see you as like really good wife material. But you just weren't hot enough, or he hadn't had enough wild intercourse with random people yet. So he was just keeping you on the sidelines until he was ready to settle down, which is a terrible way to treat someone.
