    Did everyone else notice how OP in the first story seems to be loaded? Buying a new car, and going on multiple expensive outings all to try and please his wife and keep her from leaving. That's why she stayed. She wanted OP's money, but someone more exciting for romance.

      Of course. It was either that or as a mask for her friends and family, because she knows they wouldn't approve her dumping the "Good guy" and hooking up with the random (kinda) handsome douche from the office.

      Oh yeah! BIG TIME! She probably wanted to leave him after the first phone conversation for her subordinate but realized the new guy, being below her, wasn't going to be able to match OP in stability so decided to string OP along for her financial needs even when she emotionally/physically moved on with the AP. Hope the hit to her own professional career was worth it!

      I agree and I personally think it is 100% worse to lie about your family for "fake internet points" than sending explicit photos. It is like he is letting strangers into your lives but telling everyone a twisted version of the reality you live in... We see it all the time when someone from their real lives connects the posts to the people so what happens if that happens here and that person believes the posts painting her in this awful light? (Hopefully, it is so out there it can't be connected to them and their lives...) Would he have come clean then if his wife didn't find out now? He liked the "high" he got when people "sympathized" with him so he kept making bigger accusations to keep riding that high...

    @xKCAZxLEADER Před 10 měsíci +616

    First Story: I can’t stand cheaters, especially the ones that one to refuse acountablility and play victim when the consequences of their actions hit them. OP's wife cheats on OP, manipulates OP into thinking he was the issue, wants to play victim in the counseling session, and claim to he distraught over the humilation she is (rightfully) suffering because of HER actions. OP deserves better than this woman
    Second Story: Yeah, I don’t blame OP's reaction to that "prank". He did everything that is typical to a lead up to a marriage proposal only for him to reveal it was a messed up prank and outright told OP he isn’t ready to marry her yet. Andrew should’ve known better to not do something like this
    Third Story: OP's (now ex) boyfriend is a scumbag. He invited OP to dinner at her favorite restaurant under the impression he was going to propose, instead he admits to having an affair with his coworker and expected OP to forgive him? This man is a scumbag
    Fourth Story: Cheating isn’t only physical. What OP's husband is doing on Reddit (of call places Reddit) he IS cheating. He is talking to other women intimately and is basically getting nudes from these women. His excuse has to be the dumbest excuse I’ve ever heard. Lmao, he likes the attention he gets for lying about his family? That makes it a lot worse for him because he is basically cheating on his wife for attention

      Yeah the first story hit a bit too close to home for me. I'm currently going through a divorce and my soon to be ex wife is convinced that our divorce has NOTHING to do with her affair. It has not been a good six months as she has continued her affair while we are separated and forced to live in the same house because she also refuses to either buy me out of our home or sell it. It really sucks to go through hell when you know in your heart that you didn't do anything wrong.

      second (or even more of them) for fun and taking needs of all her S. desires and to give her excitement, relieve boredom, to have someone they actually respect, a bad guy

      Completely agree on all but number 3, I feel like maybe we're missing a bit of context. Did the cheating douchebag actually set it up for her to think he would propose? To me it just sounded like he wanted a place to talk with OP calmly and privately and OP and the MIL just jumped the shark and started their own fantasy. It doesn't change the cheating, but it's different, from a cheater that tries to trap the GF into forgiving him with a fake proposal setup to a cheater trying to make things right by confessing his fault, accepting the blame, and giving the first step to make things right

    The two of them had been on board about marriage, OP got the families together for a big proposal and everyone knew what was going to happen: as soon as OP had finished popping the question, the GF said 'no!' and left everybody and party hanging.

      Honestly I think it's literally just cowardice.
      To them, it's easier to systematically allow the death of a relationship, than take responsibility for their own feelings and actions.
      They know what they are doing is wrong, but don't care enough (or are too selfish) to do the right thing.
      As to why they do it in the first place, there are billions of reasons. Someone I know cheated just "because they could". They believed their other half wasn't engaged or interested enough in them, so instead of doing the right thing, just banged some other guy for a few months until the partner figured it out.
      Ultimately, in all experiences of seeing people cheat around me, it's always boiled down to cowardice (too weak to just end the relationship or work on their relationship issues), or they are lazy (they don't understand that the honeymoon period doesn't last forever and relationships require work), or they are just selfish and don't really care about the repercussions of their actions. In a very small amount of times I've seen it happen, one girl was just so dumb she just acted impulsively without ever thinking "there might be repercussions for this"

      oh, trust me they know exactly how bad their actions are, but once the deed is committed , reality sting and they have to face that they are horrible persons that value more their momentary satisfaction that the feelings of their partners.
      they can ignore the reality as long nobody is putting it in front of their faces

      Greed. They want what they do not have, but do not want to lose what they have. That is why cheaters often cheat again after obtaining their cheating partner as a true partner. The grass is always greener somewhere else.
      I am also ace (unsure if aro, but haven't had or wanted a relationship in over a decade) but I know the sting of losing things I'm used to having. (for example, needing to put down a beloved pet when they become ill, needing to cut people out of my life who are toxic, needing to throw away and replace items in my home) I just know that it's better to lose things than hold onto them if it causes issues or harm. Most people do. Cheaters? Far too selfish. They don't want to let go. Be it for money, comfort or other things.
      I also know the allure of some of the unknown. Things I want to indulge in but can't bring myself to have because it would be unwise to do so. (expensive items, unhealthy food etc) Cheaters? They give in to that pull. They lack the self-control or think themselves crafty enough to maintain subterfuge. Some might even find the secrecy adds to their excitement of sampling forbidden fruit.

      I have been married for over 30 years. I have never "jumped the fence" - and not due to lack of opportunities. Once was really hard. A close mutual friend of ours "Jane" was going through some hard times. We were helping her out, we helped her move twice, the three of us spent a lot of time together, etc. Her toaster had died, so she had no way to make her meager breakfasts. We had an old toaster, so I dropped it by her apartment after work. She of course gave me a big hug. Aaaaaand it must have been Day 14 for her, or the planets were aligned, or something- because all of a sudden we just "clicked" both physically and emotionally. BUT- we're both honorable people, and neither of us would betray my wife like that. We were both standing there crying. That's the last time she and I were ever alone together. And yes, I told my Lady Wife what happened. She totally understood. She's not blind- it was obvious Jane was exactly my type in lots more ways than just physically. But she trusted both of us, and we didn't betray that trust.

      Okay in theory I agree with you. But we cannot label all cases of cheating being as ducked up as this one is. Just going to lay a scenario out there for you, would you hate somebody who was cheating because they are in a domestic abuse situation and hoping they get caught so that they will have an out from that relationship? And don't say it doesn't happen, I know from personal experience that it does. Female aggressor domestic violence is like the big taboo, it exists but absolutely nobody wants to talk about it.

    Story 2 has 2 updates from the next day and 10 days after the 1st update:
    Thank you guys so much for all of the love in the replies on my last post, I honestly didn't expect it to get as much attention as it did but I'm very very grateful for that and it has helped me a lot.
    I asked mods of this subreddit if I could do an early update and they allowed me to so here's the update
    After I made that reddit post I fell asleep crying, then woke up and decided to call my now ex-boyfriend, I told him that it was over and that I didn't want to be together with someone who after 5 years still isn't ready for marriage and make a big joke about it. He cried and then turned angry and demanded me to stay and told me I was "a fucking asshole for leaving him like this after everything he has done for me". He cussed me out so much that I stopped listening at one point so I don't really remember everything he said.
    In the end we came to a sorta agreement that we are going to sell the house and that he will be sleeping in the guest room for now, so today I've just been scrolling the internet for apartments so I can have a fresh start. He is still not happy about the break up tho. He is trying so bad to get back with me saying stuff the whole day like "can't we be together again?" and "this was just a small mistake I made". But the one that did it for me was "don't be so fucking petty and drop it, you know we are happy together and you know you still want me", when he said that I absolutely lost it and called him every single name I could come up with, then slammed my door.
    I think he also told his family about this whole situation cause today I got a call from his mom telling me how "selfish" I was and how I "couldn't handle a simple joke" and it ended with her calling me a slut and hanging up the call, after that I've gotten several message from his other family members such as his siblings, his dad and even his aunt.
    I've tried to just block them all but every now and then comes a new message.
    I feel like more will happen but the next update will probably not be in less than a week or so as I'm gonna try to sell stuff I don't need, find a new apartment and fix everything with the house and stuff before we put it up for sale. I just wanna get out of here as quickly as possible.
    UPDATE 2:
    Hello everyone, it's been a while since my last post and once again I wanna thank you all so much for all the support and love, as for now, this will probably be my last update.
    After my last post, we had constant fights for days during the evenings and one day I decided that I had enough, my closest friend let me move in with her for now until I find somewhere else to live and I still don't know what we're exactly doing with our house, but I have gotten lawyers involved and it's gonna take quite a while.
    The biggest incident since I last posted is probably that I met my ex's mom in a mall and she full out screamed at me in public, I have never felt so humiliated. Everyone probably thought I had done something horrible as she yelled things like "how could you do this to my son!?" and "you're a terrible human being!". I just walked away but I still felt so embarrassed.
    Also, ever since I moved, constant messages has appeared from my ex, from his friends and from his family members, and they are NASTY messages. Such as "no one would give a flying fuck if you died, you are a waste of space" or "you are such a self centered slut, leaving your boyfriend over a small joke". I try to ignore them but sometimes I do break down over them. This situation has also helped me learnt who my real friends are as some of my friends turned their back against me.
    This whole thing still feels SO surreal to me and it's gonna take a long time for me to process it, however, if there is anything else that I need to update you on I will. Thank you all again so so much for the support it honestly has been helping me a lot.

    That last story, I've been there. My ex (we were together for 11 years) was a serial cheater. It came out after the fact that he was lying to everyone about our relationship, if he even told anyone he was in one. I was the crazy ex, I hurt him, I made his life hell, etc etc. It was quite the opposite though. I was too anxious and introverted to do anything and I let a lot of his terrible behaviour slide. He was actually the one being awful, hurting me, stealing, lying, etc. The last girl he cheated with he went scorched earth and told her so many bad things about me. Made her block me in advanced. I thankfully found out and kicked his ass to the curb but not before he first tried to strangle me and then begged and pleaded to come back into my life. He ended up running away and moving across country just to escape his BS. He never stopped being a scumbag from what I've heard.

My second idea is power, she got to have an affair and make her husband feel like he was doing something wrong, some people love the idea of being able to control people like that and that's what it sounded like to me. But at the end of the day it doesn't matter, he kept the important takeaway is that she will never stop playing the victim. She did everything she could to make herself look like the innocent bystander and OP the monster no matter how public affair was, she even tried to make him look abusive for being angry at her.

      It’s money 100%. The big example of this is in the sideline info the story gives. OP mentioning buying a new car, multiple vacations in the same year and all that shows that while he may not be LOADED, he does have quite a bit of finances and things. Then you gotta look at the second key evidence. She’s having them go to marriage counseling, but notice after the first round of that she got “happy” again shortly after. And then when she got called tf out mentioned it again and made sure to overtake the counseling session and throw buzzwords in there like she’s “afraid of him” ect. Why is that relevant? Because in divorce court any marriage counseling sessions are held as prime evidence to the nature of the marriages status and situation. She literally covertly built a case against him so she could win a divorce settlement that she obviously, given all that, knew was going to come.

    First Story: I think the fact op had been married to the ex-wife for only 5 months says a lot about why she was making the effort to go to counseling. In Australia you have 12 months to annul a marriage before you then have to file for divorce and op seems really well off compared to the ex-wife, in an annulment the two parties have no right to the others stuff ever (not even assets that were acquired during the marriage). if this is the case wherever they are, I'd say she had plans to take half of everything she could if not all and she just needed to wait out the deadline for an annulment.

    8:00 Negative, this is 100% on her. She led HIM on, leading HIM to think it was all fun and games. And she's surprised when she gets...more fun and games? She didn't realize she was dating a child? Nah he's in the clear. He's immature, but not in the wrong. This is 100% on her. She should've known better.

    Last story. No I 100% agree with your take here. I’ve always said that meaningless cheating is worse than if the cheating meant something. Because I can understand the logic of falling out of love with me and in love with someone else. It’s awful and a truly horrible thing to do to someone but I get it. Meaningless cheating is just selfish and disrespectful on a whole other level. Putting their own desire over my feelings, our relationship, our history, etc. Meaningless cheating is the worst thing you can do imho

    The reason why people make outlandish choices is usually because they’re literally a narcissist or have narcissistic behaviors. Like the wife in the first story. She’s literally worried about her image. If she divorced him in her mind it would have to be when she could come off as the victim to get sympathy points.
    If these past 3 have showed the world anything it’s that crazy people can get away with anything if they play the victim.

  • @mynamesSpartacus

    I had a similar experience to the first story. After I graduated college I met a guy at a wedding and we hit it off really well. I told him about my gf and I wanting to move to LA, I had just graduated with a degrees in film and chinese. He was a medical researcher in LA and looking to get a bigger place and offered to help me move out there to get a start on my career. I was hesitant because it was a big move but after speaking with my gf and to him a little more my gf decided we were moving. She knew I was dragging my feet on the decision so she told her mom to get the van ready for a cross country trip and move her to LA. It was the kick I needed and to this day I am still thankful to her for doing it. I moved to LA 1.5 months later so I could wrap up a project at work and help them replace me.
    Things were great for the first 7 months, then we started to argue a lot. She felt that she was isolated because she wasn't working or in school. I encouraged her to transfer her credits to another university and start up in the fall, as well as joining a sports league or do meet up. She had every reason not to. During this time I was undiagnosed autistic and adhd, so I was not able to handle my emotions very well and I never knew why. Imagine the sunken place from Get Out, I would be inside of my head watching me have a meltdown and isolating myself, all the while I'm screaming at myself silently to just speak to her. I didn't make a lot of money so seeing a doctor, let alone a psychiatrist wasn't really an option. This just added to the tension.
    She began hiding her phone and laptop anytime I came into the room and we started drifting apart. Our once thriving sex life was pretty much non existent and I started to feel like I couldn't do anything right when it came to us. I started making a real effort to repair things because I was so in love with her, I was starting to look at rings (stupid, I know.) We both went back home to visit friends and family during the winter holiday and she kept acting funny anytime we would talk on the phone. We were together for New Years and something seemed off but I let it go. I left before her because I had work and when she got back to LA all happiness left her eyes when I welcomed her back home. I knew at that moment what had happened. I spent the next few weeks in denial, then one day I just asked her did you cheat on me and was it with such and such person. She went pale and a part of me died inside.
    We had to live with each other for another month after that. She would go onto tell me that she did it to hurt me in the worst possible way because I was making strides in my career and she wasn't as accomplished. That I forced her to move across the country and lose touch with all of her friends, when she literally forced me to move. A few months after being no contact she asked if she could take me out for my birthday. I agreed and we ended up hooking up that night. I stupidly got back together with her for a couple months and let her stay with me while she was waiting to move into her new place. I had tickets to see Zedd and I invited her. She had moved out by the time the concert happened and the morning after the show she said we shouldn't see each other anymore. It was the most cold and heartless moment of realization in my life. She wasn't remorseful, she just used me because she knew how I still felt about her. After that point I have vowed that I will never give a cheater a second chance. Once you cheat on me we are done, we never happened, I will not fight for you, I will purge every memory of you (good or bad) from my memory. I'm in therapy now and realizing how much that relationship messed me up. All of my friends didn't like her, they told me they didn't but I was blinded by love. 3.5 years to learn a hard but valuable lesson about self respect.

    About your cheating question RSlash, I'm pretty sure story 1 cheaters goal is the fact he did all the cooking and cleaning and was very easy to manipulate into doing the pick me dance so he was spoiling her in an attempt to keep her. None of the dates they mentioned were exactly cheap.
    The manipulation she used was an attempt to keep him beat down on purpose, a typical gaslighting attempt to make the victim think it was their fault. The end result was fueled by her hubris. She thought that she could pull this off indefinitely and keep her in house maid and ATM fueling her lifestyle. As long as he was on that string, he's a supply that can be milked for all it's worth.
    Someone like her will just move on to another victim, so it's incredibly good he went public with this. The more people onto her bullshit the less possible victims. Especially with her family monitoring the situations.

    A partner making up lies is worse. In my head, there are black and white moments. He cheats, he's messaging other women, he's sending/recieving pictures is a clear violation of a relationship and i can validly break up. But if all he is doing is posting lies anonymously on some forum, then it goes grey. If you're going to give me cause to break up, dont make me question my thought process.

    Lying about the family: emotional vampire territory.
    I used to work on a website where people shared retail/workplace stories. We had one vampire who posted dramatic, emotional, gut-wrenching stories about how she was treated at work, and the abuse she suffered at home. She builds up this whole lie, just for the attention and sympathy. Laps it up for over a year. Then we get an email from another account, supposedly from her "mom" claiming that she died due to an abuse incident. It caused a lot of reaction on the readers of the website and everyone was sad and traumatized, because they had invested in her life.
    Then a month later, we get another story from a new email account, with an identical writing style, starting a whole new story of drama and abuse for a whole "new" person.
    Turns out this emotional vampire craved the attention, sympathy, and support of complete strangers, because that's what she wanted. She got all her stories on the site removed, and she was blocked. Her writing style was so distinctive that we caught her multiple times trying to create an alt with a new story, but they would just keep getting deleted.

Pretty soon another new member joins. Writing style (or rather, lack thereof) looks suspiciously familiar. We're all like "Tell me this isn't that same dude." The admin checked, and yep- same freakin' IP address! Instantly dropped the ban-hammer and blocked that IP address.

      I don't necessarily agree, but it depends on the relationship. If you aren't OK with your spouse/SO looking at nudes/P, and they do it anyway, that's a problem. But for the lying and sneaking, not the pics/videos. You can have an emotional affair without a single nude or sext. Or you can have nudes/sexting with zero emotional connection. The first is ten times worse.

    Last story: What makes this worse is the lies about the daughter. If he had said something about how much he loved his daughter and she was a daddy's girl but her B* mother was constantly interrupting, that story would have gotten him even more online sympathy. The whole "my 4-year-old daughter disrespects me" BS is nuts. It's counter-productive to his stated goal, undercuts any desire he has to reconcile, and is really going to bite him in the ass in a decade when the daughter finds out about it... and she will eventually find out about it.

    cheaters need one main thing, that is emotional security. this security comes from knowing that one partner, married or affair, can be turned to at any time. when they lose one of these supports, their world seems to crumble, and they need to portray themselves as a victim. by removing the victim card, you have essentially neutralised any turmoil that they can pass over to you.

    Story 1. That's the thing, RSlash, cheaters aren't people who know what they want and choose between two incompatible options. They NEED both, and are so self-centered that they can delude themselves into thinking THEY are the center of a love triangle and people will just bend to their will if they can say and do all the right things and everything will work out somehow. When she's cheating, SHE isn't the problem. It's her husband who needs to change and love her EVEN more so she can feel good with him AND this other guy she's also fallen in love with. No one can tell her who to love or who to pick. That's just not fair.
