My biological parents are alive (I think), never met my biological father and my mother should have never had me. My dad wasn’t related to me, but I grieve him and the memories we shared, he’s my dad even though he’s dead. When I think of my mom I grieve for a mother figure but it is not her, it’s the things I think a mother should be. So I get to be that mom for my kids and I married a man just like my dad that passed away. I get to break the cycle and that is all the justice I need.
@@nessknows.Good on you. I need to remember this myself. I am breaking the cycle and it's really difficult and it takes time. Few will understand the struggle and turmoil and I will be better for it eventually. Just feels like so much life has been wasted
The pajama husband later clarified that he tried to talk to his wife about this before, but her response was basically “you are the one that is with her in the morning so it is up to you to find a solution”. He thinks that she doesn’t realize how much of a struggle it really was to get her in daywear.
i found an update for story 3. OP said that the guy who told her about her BIL’s plan also contacted her ex-husband and told him everything as well. Her ex-husband came over and they talked. He said he had a gut feeling that she never cheated but the evidence was just so overwhelming. He apologized for not believing her but OP says she doesn’t think she can move on from this because the trust is gone. They’d been separated a year before the truth came out and he’s been dating other people and so has she. He said he wanted to go confront BIL but she begged him not to because she was waiting to tell her sister. She wanted her sister and the 3 kids to go to her parents house so they could be away from the BIL when she told her everything just in case he turned violent. Well the ex-husband didn’t listen and went to BIL’s house and tried to beat him up. OP’s sister is now mad at OP because her husband almost got beat. OP’s parents told the sister everything and at first she believed everything, but must’ve talked to BIL and changed her mind because now she doesn’t believe OP. Apparently OP’s ex-husband posted about the BIL’s lies and schemes all over social media and so now OP’s sister is mad at OP for “ruining” her husbands reputation. The BIL is telling OP’s sister that he wants to unalive himself because his life has been “ruined” by OP. The OP went to police and was told she doesn’t have a case. The ex-husband is moving back into town to be close to OP in case BIL wants to start something again. BIL filed a no-contact order against OP and her ex-husband. It’s a very unfortunate ending imo.
BIL filing a no contact order against OP is definitely not how I thought this would end. I just hope she is safe. Sad the police won’t believe her. She needs to move far away from BIL I think. And maybe get a very good lawyer.
Love that Story Five is them saying "no, girlie, your husband isn't going to die if he becomes an astronaut, he's gonna die doing what he's doing now."
It’s okay to be selfish sometimes, especially when you have a kid with the person. However the extent she is taking it is too far. Ransoming their kid against the grandparents is cruel. And if she has heard her husband’s history and strong desire for this job, that is just sad she wants to take that away.
I’m sorry, but this girl is being absolutely ridiculous. Throwing tantrums hitting and throwing things. What are you five? You should be happy and proud and supportive of your husband. He’s in the military and he’s a test pilot. Girly be so for real. He’s more than likely gonna get hurt or killed doing what he’s doing now; then what he’d be doing if he was an astronaut. Your husband has goals and this is what he loves doing and what he wants to do with his life. You should be happy for him. Because at his age, that is a huge steppingstone.
@@hatchetfieldharpie3276thank you!!! No one mentioned this or discussed it! She’s literally abusing him and controlling him with violence and that’s what the duck
Really really appreciate Shayne, a confident young man w a large female audience, telling young women that if they have doubts like that leave. Really appreciate your perspective Shayne!
On story 5 about the potential astronaut “She has thrown many tantrums over it, throwing things, hitting him and threatening to take my grandson away”. That is abuse. Just straight up abuse. She is physically abusing him and using their child as leverage. She wants to control his life, which is why the logic doesn’t hold. It’s not about loving him, it’s about control. She’s using physical violence, threats, fear and guilt to control his life. She sounds like a monster. She’s more than holding him back. She is abusing him. That man needs to get out and take his son with him. He needs help. Omg this was horrifying to hear.
On story 5 the wife’s behaviour sounded less like “I can’t deal with the thought of losing you so if you become an astronaut I’ll have no choice but to leave” and more like “I don’t want you to do this so now I’m gonna punish you for not allowing my discomfort to dictate your life”.
Yep. Classic abuse. She’s even physically hitting him and leveraging their child. I can’t believe the conversation about this hasn’t been focused on the abuse
i wish it was more socially acceptable for men to go to therapy. the fact that he's been pining/planning this for years is really unhinged. the fact that he was able to "convince" OP's sister that OP was lying even after OP's sister initially believed her shows how manipulative he is. 100% he's only with the sister either because she reminds BIL or OP or because she's easy to manipulate.
That was absolutely my first thought when they said he was still p***** over the Rejection in the texts. actually it was my first thought when he wouldn't let it go to their parents like did nobody notice that he's like hanging on to this way too. Hard like red flag.
@LLynneM also where are her parents and sisters when he told that story like oh yea btw called your sister one of the most vile things you can call a woman after she rejected me and now I'm pissed she doesn't remember it. If I was her sister immediately breaking up and her parents should have been pissed u called my daughter WHAT! .also if I was the sister in that exact moment even if he had just brushed it off and let it go, the first place my mind would go is, did he know who I was when we met?
For the 3rd story, send the screenshots of the admittance of guilt to the lawyer and have the lawyer send it to the husband’s lawyer. Also press charges against BIL
Update on the Psycho BIL Story: The friend who told OP also told the Ex at the same time, and he drove to OP's town to talk things over. OP told her parents and her parents told the Sister, who was shocked but started to believe them. They all planned on going to Sister's house the next day together to confront BIL. *Unfortunately,* that morning, Ex went to BIL & Sister's house by himself, confronted BIL, and a fight broke out. Then, Ex put BIL on blast on social media to let as many people know what happened. BIL apparently told Sister that the him and his friend lying that OP was cheating on Ex was a "joke," and this whole debacle is them unfairly trying to ruin his reputation and is making him s*icidal, and she *believes him!* OP said the she told the cops but says they won't do anything about it, and Ex is moving back to OP's town permanently to discourage BIL from getting violent. Everyone in the comments is telling OP to get a lawyer since the cops won't help her, but that's the last update from her in the last month.
Something tells me, this is going to take a turn for tragedy. I feel like it could be murder happening in slow motion. I really hope I'm overreacting, but this man-child is clearly a psychopath & if money isn't a problem for him, the lengths he can go to, to cover his own a$$😕
@@emilyemily444 I think thats too extreme, Lawyers typically tell people not to post anything about there cases on social media. Thats most likely why she hasn't updated.
Story 4 has 2 updates. The first covers OP going back to the parents to ask more questions. They give (and OP recites) some graphic descriptions of how he killed and dismembered various animals. The parents say it has to be in the 100s. The second update, OP confronts him in a restaurant and he confirms everything. He tells her that he started volunteering at the shelter in order to kill animals. He did kill a few, but then realized how pitful they are and grew fond of them. Most commenters have deemed it creative writing after the 2nd update.
the one about the BIL seems creative writing too honestly. idk just seems like the OP was so chill about everything when anyone would be extremely mad and want to tell their sister and ex the truth immediately not try to hide it
The way I almost started clapping at “and my husband backed me up” during the cake story. I feel like I’ve read farrrrr too many stories where husband fails to take the wife’s side.
YESSS THIS!!! I was holding my breath, hoping husband wasn’t going to be like, “hey babe, you’re being too sensitive” like IM SO RELIEVED she has her husband’s support.
I love Shayne's calm energy through the video. He normally feels authentic on Smosh, but this feels more of like how he'd just be vibing day to day and I love it
I think it could be the company. Some people can act different, but still be authentic, depending on who they are hanging out with. I'm a very quiet and introverted person, but with some people I can be more outgoing.
This got ignored in Story 5, but in her anxiety or fear or whatever, she is screaming at him and HITTING him and threatening to take away their kids. That's not okay. She is not allowed to just be hitting him and threatening divorce like it is a weapon she can weild to make him choose what she wants. Her not wanting to go to therapy to discuss this is a big red flag for me. He should not have to give up his dreams to keep his kids. You always ask about the coconut story, but no one asks about that Slug story you got Drew with. That one was absolutely wild.
Dude I couldn't believe neither of them said anything about that. She's abusing him. And refusing therapy. I don't think her behavior had anything to do with fear of him dying, she just wants to control him and not have her authority questioned.
I had to go back and rewatch that part coz somehow I completely missed that probably was multitasking when listening to that story. But I'm shocked they didn't bring that further up which is why I completely missed it. Yeah definitely shouldn't be together anymore if she's being abusive.
Wow, as an adult son who's currently trying to help my mom get through a divorce from my abusive father, when Shayne said that some people don't have parents and their parents are alive, it hit really hard, bc my plan is that once she's not responsible for him anymore, I'm going no contact with him too, and then he'll be out of my life. It's comforting to know that stuff like this happens to lots of ppl and I'm not alone with this guilt of no contacting someone who I was abused by and who I supported at the same time, for so many years.
Yea, hurting/killing animals at a young age is a very common thing amongst serial killers. Even if he hasn't thought about changing victims, the fact that he hurt animals until he was almost an adult (as far as the parents know...) is already a sign of him being vile. And btw how did the parents not take him to a professional when he started doing this as a kid?
The post is fake, the account is gone but based on the comments OP's account had updates where OP did confront him, then it is implied that OP was unalived by their ex and their ex took over the account.
@@itssteph263that's funny. I wasn't aware of that, but I literally commented earlier that I suspected the story was fake. You can often tell based on the way the story is written. Fake posts are written to sound more like stories and are worded differently than when someone is just describing a problem they're dealing with. The fake posts often use a lot of extra adjectives and literary flourishes. I always pay attention to that when I listen to these stories.
Found the updates and OP got mega sloppy. Way more graphic and obvious that the horrendous animal abuse was just their own self-indulgent storytelling. Really gross.
@@a_ggghost Thank you for posting this. yeah, it just felt too rage-bait. like... You've seen NO signs, you've met the future inlaws multiple times, and they're only just now bringing this up? naw.
So for story 2 I fully support the dad especially since he is the one doing the school runs. He could have given his wife a heads up but he definitely showed her that there was a limit and did what parents are supposed to do in a harmless way. Now she knows that there are consequences to her actions.
Agreed!! Like this was not just telling them the consequences but having the consequences happen to them. Like chill out the child wasn’t hurt and yeah could have let his wife know but I don’t think he was in the wrong. Some people coddle their kids was to much and let them get away with way to much.
Yes! I actually disagree with the thought that he should have brought extra clothes for her to school. He set a boundary and she knew what was happening, and now she knows that dad will follow through. No one got hurt, this is a natural consequence of her actions and the best way some kids learn
My sister did this to my mom during kindergarten! It was winter in northern Alberta, she was REFUSING to wear pants under her dress. My mom fought with her all morning. So finally, my mom checked the temperature and said, "Fine. I'm done fighting you." It was cold, but not dangerously cold and not meant to be colder and if you know anything about some parts of northern Alberta, most schools don't take the littles outside under certain temperatures; So my mom took her to school. My sister predictably was cold but didn't dare complain. She actually apologized to my mom. Some lady, however, yelled at my mom. My mom shamelessly responded with, "Then you can dress her. She chose not to wear pants. She needs to learn. Guess what she'll never fight me on again!" My sister never fought my mom again.
Literally how I found two hot takes was because of Shayne and Smosh!! Currently freaking the flip out!! I will not be able to talk to anyone for the next 3-5 business days!!
I found Shayne and Smosh because of THT. 😄 I loved THT so much that when I came across Smosh Pit's Reddit Stories, I got hooked and explored more of their stuff. 💜
Same! I found smosh from their Facebook post of them buying it back! I had heard of them before but didn't pay attention. Then I found their reddit stories and became obsessed with reddit stories!
@@balancingthedarksame! But tbh I found THT cause of my love for rslash's youtube videos. Then I got recommended this channel and then later smosh pit. Peak content.
@@soccersinger101I found THT through jonmosslol. Some of his videos featured their clips, and after listening to a robot voice read some Reddit stories one day, I remembered how much I enjoyed those clips. I didn't know who they were, though, and found them by searching "Reddit stories" and sorting through the results until I recognized Morgan.
I need Shayne to know the depths of HOW crazy the dolphin story is because it's actually unbelievable. It involves acid, astral projection, and was run by the inventor of the sensory deprivation pool.
You've got me very, very curious now. The only 2 dolphin stories I can think of is that dude that had a "relationship" with a dolphin in Florida (I think), even had... the deed with it. The 2nd is I guess up in the air as I just heard about it, but supposedly a CIA experiment with a woman raising a dolphin and them doing acid together.
I was thinking about that the entire time they were talking about the story, and I was shocked neither of them caught it and mentioned something about it.
i was so surprised they didn't immediately point that out! she is abusing him and he may not have any marks on him but that doesn't mean she doesn't hurt him or disrespect him in that way.
Story 3: this dude has the mentality of guys who still talk about “the girl who broke their heart in 7th grade” being the reason he has trouble trusting women and he’s like 42. Like, you were this pissed for 10years?!!?! GET A LIFE. And I 100% agree he sought out the sister just so he could stay close to OP possibly to “watch her downfall” or ruin her in any way he could. I also feel like if he got OP low enough and had the chance, he would definitely try to sleep with her just for the satisfaction. This is a game to him
He genuinely sounds like a sociopath, seriously how pathetic to spend 10 years hung up on a rejection and then investing all that energy to try to ‘get back at them’ even though OP did nothing wrong. Entitled people ruin everything
Found Story 3 on Reddit and there’s a little, kind of sad, update: she talked to her husband, he believes her now, and he got pissed off at the brother-in-law, went and tried to fight him before she had a chance to talk to her sister. Husband blasted psycho brother-in-law (BOL) on social media, sister got angry that the husband tried to fight him, parents confused and shocked. She talked to her parents about everything and they believe her and think she should’ve had the chance to talk to sister before husband blew up everything about it. Sister now won’t talk to her. This was the update as of 35 days ago. Edit, sorry there was another from OP more recent, 19 hours ago, I’ll just post the text: “I will make an update when anything new happens. My sister is still shilly-shallying and can’t decide if she is angry with her husband or believes me. I am mostly worried that he would hurt her since I don’t trust men like him. I have listened to my story told by a guy on RUclips and he called me passive and it made me sad. I guess nobody knows how scary abusive men are and how they’re most dangerous when they’re about to lose. Most violence against women is committed once the woman is taking steps to set herself free. And this man has my sister and her small children. I am not being passive. I am being cautious. F you Markee!” FYI she’s not talking about this video obviously and others are commenting that they show empathy here in this video fwiw.
@@lysimaciel2595 RUclips deletes links in comments but go to the subreddit r/TrueOffMyChest and type “my brother in law is the reason why my husband left me, I don’t know what to do now.” That’s the exact title. Then click the OP and see her comments.
Nothing she said in her last update is wrong at face value, but if you're worried about your, your sister, and your children's lives, then not warning her, or the police, or her ex, is definitely the passive way to maneuver that very real issue, and it did cause issues when suddenly the husband is trying to fight the brother in law and sister doesn't know what's happening and who to be mad at, BIL knows that she knows, and there is no plan to remove the sister if she becomes dangerous. If the plan is anything but "be single forever to appease BIL", then her cautionary period hurt the situation. Nobody should be expected to be 'optimal' in a life threatening situation, AT ALL. I don't blame her for being cautious. But I don't like the message she's sending with hindsight. Frankly, she's lucky that Bil wants a restraining order- for now- and not revenge, because the day after that fight he could've done ANYTHING. Ex "slandering" him before sister could talk to her only helps BIL gaslight sister too. 'Don't make a move because it could be dangerous' isn't necessarily great advice, especially if she doesn't live with the dude and can easily work around him
Story 5 - a great example of “YOUR DAUGHTER IS ABUSIVE” - if you love your grandkid you will suggest they break up. That kid is learning that love is to hit and get hit
Legit … she is stopping him from all his career attempts (given its now job#2) AND hitting him? She must seeeriously feel out of control/threatened by the idea of him having achievements. That’s not right and honestly, if the marriage has run its course then so be it..
as soon as i heard that, i was like “fck that, get a divorce”. if a partner lays a hand on you, that’s your break up. you shouldn’t even have to tell them it’s over, it just is. imo, there is no coming back from that.
@@torit4534So glad other people noticed this. They just didn’t even mention that she was verbally and physically abusing the poor guy, along with crushing his dreams. The OP needs to get their daughter away and get her help.
That second story really reminded me a lot of my parents. What the dad did in that story is absolutely what my dad did with me when I was smaller. I wanted to do something despite what he'd say, he'd eventually just say, "Fine, go ahead," and then not go back on his choice even when I'd ask. Really made me think more about my actions and the consequences they had. My mom was always very hesitant to do stuff like that, and would always bring things in case I changed my mind. My parents used to argue about parenting styles since they both grew up in very different environments (my dad in a Hispanic household and my mom in a non-ethnic household). My dad still does say things like, "Yep, of course she'd say that." Never really saw it as him disrespecting my mom, especially since my mom does the same thing with him. They just have differing views and realize it and just try to handle it like adults while doing the best they can to raise my neurodivergent-self (lol). Back to the story, communication definitely could've been done better. However, I don't necessarily think that the dad was in the wrong. Taught his kid an important life lesson that'll help build them to be a better person.
I guess I didnt make myself clear, yes it was a HORRIBLE story, and I never said that I agreed with the guy. I was talking about Shayne's face and how he progressively looked more shocked. English is not my first language but I never mention that I agreed with the guy or something like that, so chill@@emmabunch-benson4795 @bakabakugou

As the parent of a 6 year old, I'm perfectly content letting her wear whatever she wants to school. She'll go out in fancy dresses, in pajama pants and a sweater, in leggings and a romper with a skirt on top. I'm totally happy letting her express herself with her clothes, and I think that helps her feel better about getting dressed. Getting your kid involved in picking their own clothes out helps them feel autonomy in their life, which is largely governed by anyone BUT them. HOWEVER - I fully agree about NOT turning the car around once she's made the decision to keep her PJ's on. School drop off lines, tardiness, work schedules, etc., those things don't change because your mind changes. I don't care for consequences that are arbitrary and don't make sense outside of simply enacting control, but I'm definitely okay letting the natural consequences of life occur, and if we've left the house we've left the house.
This kid sounds like she may be on the spectrum. Every single day without fail it’s a fight to get her dressed? She needs an autism assessment stat. Sleep clothes are very comfortable, regular clothes aren’t and it’s extremely common for autistic children to feel distressed by sensations. For some it’s the tags and fabric, for others it’s the looseness or for me the tightness. It’s a common thing for autistic children to fight getting dressed in the morning. That’s a big part of what autism is, difficulty processing sensory information. He’s punishing her when she’s already suffering. I’ve struggled with this my whole life and it is fucked, I can’t wear anything tight or I literally cannot function. It’s not for lack of trying. And I too was punished using public humiliation for things beyond my control and I got to tell you, that only held me back and caused even more social anxiety than I already had from trying to mask my differences. It’s also proven in studies that public humiliation harms not helps. My MIL is a child psychologist and she said it is catergorically not recommended to use public humiliation as a form of punishment. Whether he intended it or not that was the outcome. They should be doing as you do, letting her pick her clothes. And at the store, she needs to try them on and see what feels right.
Yes Morgan I agree!!! Story 3!! I don’t think the BIL randomly met the younger sister!! If he can hold a grudge for so long and make op’s life a living hell, that’s scary!! She needs to tell!!
Yeah, that's what would've happened were that story real. It's not, they made multiple posts, tons of comments. The following updates are literally written in the form of a story. It's disturbing hat OP would make up this kind of stuff (there is graphic detail about the supposed animal abuse/killing) They must be either an aspiring writer (not the place) or they fantasize about doing the kind of stuff they're describing. It's fake regardless.
Story 1: controversial opinion…I don’t think the bride would be an a-hole for asking him to style It in a slightly less dramatic way, if possible. Unlike the other bridesmaids stories used for comparison, she isn’t asking for any sort of actual, physical change. It’s no different than saying, “the bridesmaids all need to wear their hair in an updo.” If she asked him to cut his mustache, that’s different, but I see no issue with asking for more uniformity in the groomsmen’s style.
I think you can alist ask but most guys does care about their public image and maybe that style gives him confidence to go out so if he said no I don’t think he should be class as the a hole or op for asking
Im sooooo not used to Shayne being this chiiiiiiill. He is usually very loud and animated (in a good entertaining way) in when reading reddit stories in Smosh. HAHAHAHA
He's usually like this in some podcast episodes (unless they're doing a bit). When he's leading a show he's a bit more silly and energetic, but here he's not leading and not on a comedy show so makes sense that he's more chill. They've talked about which person switch on their wild side for the show and they said Shayne is usually rather chill, reserving his energy for camera. He's still a goofy guy outside of the shoots but not nearly as high energy. It's nice seeing this part of him.
Story 2 is exactly what I would have done. Techable moments, and sometimes embarrassing your kid by allowing them to make their own choices and seeing what the consequences are is ok. As long as it isn’t detrimental to there long term well being, it’s fine. Plus the other parent was not there to help make that decision so that is one made in the moment. It does not mean you love them any less, it means that you love them enough to explore consequences when they think they know better. Tough love comes in all forms, and in some cases, they cannot learn unless you let them fall. I been a parent long enough to know this. 13:54
Shaynes takes on peoples personal appearances is always one of my favorite things to hear. Especially for someone you can visually relate to the type of people who'd maybe not be that accepting. Anytime a conversation about silly outfits or unconventional appearances gets brought up im immediately stoked to hear him validate being individualistic.
Story 3 was actually scary. That is a scary and dangerous man who is cosplaying as a good guy to her sister.. she needs to let everyone involved know. He’s held on to this grudge for years.. literal years. Who’s to say he didn’t intentionally date her sister? He’s been obsessed over this rejection for years. So much so, that he was willing to send her nudes which is ILLEGAL and literally ruin her marriage. That’s fucking scary.
no literally, i’m convinced he married her sister ONLY TO DO THIS because he’s obvi been obsessed with her for YEARS….it’s actually terrifying and very unsafe
S3, the stalker bil story, I'm sorry for the sister but her husband is NOT a good man. He WILL do the same thing to her that he did to the OP the SECOND he deems she's stepped out of line. Press. Charges. Get a restraining order. Do NOT let him get away with this sh*t S5, the potential astronaut story is very simple: BIL needs to decide if he can not do this and NEVER resent her for this. I don't believe it's possible for him to never ever resent her for not letting him go for what soundsblike a lifelong dream. Also, de facto f*ck her for HITTING him. Her fear doesn't justify her abuse
When my sister was in third grade (she’s 3 years younger) she would wear a vampire Halloween costume fangs and all every day with a pair of boots for an entire year. I used to be so embarrassed but my grandma just let her. It’s a great memory now
That last story- I work at a child care and just did the math. The child care alone that mom is providing by staying at home would cost over $72,000 a year at my preschool for their three kids...
For story 3, im wondering if OP and her sister happen to be on the same phone plan and share an Apple ID… if she and her sister share an Apple ID, he could’ve gotten the credentials from the sister and logged into their iCloud and gotten the pictures that way
Just an FYI because I see it come up a lot online, that story about the C-section charge for "skin to skin" is actually justified. Patients after a C-section are often shaky, faint, and drowzy, and the charge is just to pay for the extra nurse in the room to oversee everything, so that the new mom doesn't faint and drop their baby. I agree that hospital bills are ridiculous, and you should demand an itemized bill for everything, but this one isn't actually a very good example.
I need Morgan to make it a tradition to read the coconut story to every guest, recording just the before and after, to see the faith in humanity leave their eyes 😂😂😂😂
@@D415h4n34 As traumatising as the story is, there can be only two reactions: burnt into memory or 15 minutes of your life completely erased... I would pay to return the person I was before hearing THAT 😅
Story 2. As a parent with a ten yr old who may be on the spectrum, mornings are really hard for us. I’m a single parent who gets lots of help from my parents due to the nature of her birth and who her dad is. At the end of the day, it was my job to figure out why mornings were so hard no matter the help I have. Especially bc my dad wasn’t being super understanding. She now gets up early as all hell to watch her shows and she wears soft sweats that are different than pajamas but make clothing complaints less of an issue. Routine is key with any child. The parents should get to the root of why mornings are so hard and adjust.
hi, im on the spectrum (33 year old male). have you looked into pathological demand avoidance (pda)? its what i have. posting here cos its worth considering. but i do have to say it sounds like if routine is important for your kid, they may not be PDA cos PDA is a resistance to structure and routine. always hard to tell though. but just sharing so you cna look into the possibility. if you need any advice or insight my door is open :) i was actually well behaved as a kid, my avoidance was more internal (i'd hold it in and pee my pants) and i was sick alot so avoided school cos of that. but as an adult, i can say i struggle with certain clothes (dont even wear shoes), and i need HOURS in the morning to unwind before i begin doing anything productive. ive always felt getting up, shoving down breakfast and rushing to go to school/work was unhealthy. so i think what you're doing is great
What's the second I heard the second story I thought the child might be on the spectrum. My son hates getting dressed in the morning. Regular clothes are so overstimulating. We do no tags on his clothes, no jeans.
Rigjt I'm autistic and the first thing I thought of while listening to that story was how awful mornings and going to school were for me as a kid (then undiagnosed) for a whole host of reasons. The phrasing of OPs post made me sad as well (saying the kid was always throwing a "fit", thinking it's more important to "teach her a lesson" when she's crying and begging to go home, etc) Even if the kid isn't ND it's important either way to get to the -root- of -why- the problems are problems instead of just focusing on "bad" behaviors/making them stop
As a teacher the pajamas story is exactly what you do. If you throw a fit and don’t want to wear clothes this is a natural consequence. Very well done in my opinion. There needs to be a follow up with the kid though and for the dad to explain why it happened.
I agree. I would’ve done the same thing at that point too. Sending her to school in PJs is like the least traumatic thing they could’ve done and a very good, fair, and light disciplinary action. She will be just fine and probably learned from the experience in a totally nonharmful way for everyone involved.
I would have brought the clothes with me and gave her the choice to to get dressed at home without a fuss or she’s going to ACTUALLY go to school in PJs next time and explain it’s because she has such a fit over it…. Like have a conversation about it. But hopefully it remedied the morning tantrums..
That's what I was thinking, the "bringing clothing with just in case" feels like teaching the child that even if they are in trouble it doesn't really matter because her parents will backpedal at the last moment anyway so do whatever you want.
So when people look at pictures from my wedding and see pictures of us with all our friends they inevitably say the same thing: who's that dude?! And it's a random guy I didn't know and only met at my wedding that one of my friends brought. He's in a bright orange plaid shirt, with white guy dreads and giant beard, lots of piercings...he stands out. And it's just hilarious because I don't even know his name, he's just That Guy from my wedding pictures. What the bride in the first story should do is make sure the rest of the wedding party also have distinct features so no one stands out lol.
In story 3 I want to point out that you were saying the OP husband should have trusted OP more and had more communication and it showed a crack in the relationship. However in all other Reddit stories where a woman has this kind of proof y’all instantly jump to she needs to leave and divorce the dude. I still adore both of you but wanted to point out the discrepancies
Story 2: Is the little girl getting bullied? If she throws a tantrum EVERY MORNING when she needs to get dressed for school I think there is something up. The parents need to talk to their daughter and ask what is going on
Yeah the father's reaction was over exaggerated, harmful and probably hurtful to the kid. I understand kid can't be allowed to do as they please always, but it seems like a deeper rooted issue, that could be solved in a better way like trying some encouragement about clothes or a reward system. Idk going to school in pyjamas used to be my worst nightmare. That action of the father just seemed neglectful and like a half-assed parenting style. The parents should either tough it out as it's a normal kid thing and the child is still quite young, so it will pass with time and there are other things to let them know the boundary on that don't involve public humiliation and break of trust. If they don't want to do that tho then go to a therapy or smth there are places you can seek advice/help from that doesn't impact your kid negatively. OP chose to put in the least effort and pursue the worst option. Also going to sleep in clothes does not sound comfy at all, but maybe it's just an American thing? Pls sb tell me, I have never heard of that before.
I'm sad that other comments don't address this... for me the obvious thing to do would be to be to investigate why getting dressed makes the daughter so upset. The dad and the commenters completely overlooking this and focusing on "teaching her a lesson" is so, so gross to me. Children aren't people to them
Not sure if anyone else will agree with me on this bu although I appreciate the fact that Morgan chooses new, fresh stories,t I would prefer it if she wait until the stories have updates.
*Story 4 -* Shayne hit hard w/that one “Under 25yo men … u don’t know who they yet.” Ugh I could hv used that info before marrying my future ex-husband when he was 24yo.
1:43:10 Not to be *that* person, but when I took an intro to Sociology course in college, I learned about this study with results that have always stuck with me: When it comes to heteronormative couple dynamics, the following results were collected from data in a study regarding how much money each partner makes in relation to the delegation of household responsibilities: When the male partner makes more money than the female partner, more household responsibilities tend to fall on the female partner than the male partner. When the male and female partners make the same or comparable amount of money, the house hold responsibilities are more evenly split between both partners with the majority still falling on the female partner. When the *female* partner makes more money than the *male* partner, 0% of the household responsibilities are assumed by the male partner. Let that sink in. Loved the episode, and thanks for having Shayne on as a guest!
I have seen many families where the mother is the one with an income and the fater is stay at home and does all the housework and takes care of the children.
Story 4: girl, GET OUT. You will never be unafraid for your pets, and you won't be able to trust him. How does the idea of having children with him sit in your gut? If you're having any thought of staying, talk to a therapist, ask them for an honest opinion, pull him in for a session (get an assessment from your therapist).
Well no because, in OP's sick fantasy, therapists think he's just fine. OP is the one who needs assessment for writing something this awful: r/BORUpdates/comments/1akyehh/aita_for_not_wanting_my_boyfriend_anywhere_near/
Speaking from first hand experience .. which left me dead for 1min 23seconds. GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT . killing pets is a huge marker for serial killers. I didn't ignore the signs but I wasn't aware of particularly the cruelty to animals until I became the animal in his eyes. We didn't have pets but one day an ex of his and I ran into each other and she told me quickly and every directly that. He lied when he said she was at fault for their split. He killed her dog because she went out to dinner with her family and he wanted her to stay and he tried to drive them both into a river she had pics to prove it. Since I was already being abused I believed her but 2 days after that I found out heaven is real and spent the next 37 days in the hospital. Get out before you cant
Two hot takes? More like two hotties with takes! I love both of these people! Best crossover episode ever! Now host Morgan needs to go on Smosh Pit for Reddit Stories ❤❤❤
Story 2: when i was in the 4th grade i had this insane teacher. she was just very unprofessional and inappropriate with the personal stories she told us (child abuse, sexual assault, etc) One day I wore my PJs to school because I thought it was pajama day. I was wrong, it was the next day. I was really embarrassed, i asked her if i could go to the office and call my mom to get a change of clothes. I only lived a block away from the school. My teacher said no, that the office clerk hates children and doesn’t want to be bothered. (???) I hate her to this day.
Story 4, could it have been they were joking? Like “heh our son can’t take care of anything! They always die because he forgets to feed them” or was it like he takes a knife and stabs them? Like…what?!
That's what I thought too, but in the updates the parents said he'd get mad at the dogs for chewing up his shoes or something and the next day they'd find the dogs brutally murdered :((
Story #3 has always bothered me when it comes to the photos. I keep wondering if the husband didn't somehow share them with the BIL, especially since it was said that they were close. It sort of reminds me of the post where the OP's boyfriend's friends "found" her profile on Tinder, and forced her to video call them with her hands up while they texted the profile, only to find it was fake. A while later, she caught her boyfriend sending her photos to his friends, questioned it, & he finally broke down & revealed he asked his friends to create the fake dating profile in order to see how she reacted to being accused of cheating.
so like i don't have much to say, but i can say this: if a persons parents WARN you about them and it's worse than "they're kinda messy"... run! simply run. parents know their kids best if if they come with a warning label they ain't safe. my exes mom warned me that he was abusive, as in has beaten his own mother before, i didn't wait to hear it twice.
Story 1 i disagree with you all. Asking someone to style their mustache differently is no different than asking a woman to style her hair differently. As long as op wasnt wanting him to shave it off she was in the clear.
Thank you. It's not a huge imposition to request him not to use a ton of products to force a curl to stay in a mustache for one day. And yes, lots of people style their hair in a specific style to be a bridesmaid. Only permanent changes are unreasonable 🤷♀️
I’ve noticed she definitely does tend to be swayed when the well known or bigger guests are in her podcast. Still love her tho but definitely disagreed with several of her takes.
Update: My brother in law is the reason why my husband divorced me. I am sorry that I have been gone for too long and I am overwhelmed by the support that you have given me here. Some of you still asking about me. I don’t know where to start. I have been in constant pain and stress about everything that happened but my brother in law is now exposed to everyone about what he did to me. For those of you who think he is in love with me, he isn’t. He very much hates my guts and has done since the day I rejected him. Hate is also a driving force and not only love. So for the stupid users (that I would like to call losers) who made fun of me it about me (bragging?) about a man not being over me in 20 years, that’s is not it. If this is bragging, then you’re actually very sick in the head. Unfortunately I was sent these comments from a different sub about (updates?). What a bunch of losers. I was in constant fear that my brother in law will be hurting my sister because of me and I am not certain if he will. But that was the only reason I have been “apathetic”. I wasn’t sure what the right step was with people like him. He has hidden his hatred so well for so long so what more is he capable of? I didn’t want my sister and her children to be the collateral damage. That’s why I have been careful. I am sorry to disappoint you by not being the “strong bad bitch”. I have other priorities. My sister and I finally talked. I love her and her children very much. She seemed just very hurt and questioning her entire marriage and who can blame her? I tried the baby steps approach. I wanted her to know I was there for her and I was honest with her about my worries about her and her children with a man like him. It worked for a while and I was being hopeful but something changed and it probably had to do with her husband giving her an ultimatum. Divorce or cut your family off. She chose her marriage. It broke my parents and me but I don’t think we can do anything about it. It is her own choice even if we believe it is coerced. But maybe there’s this little chance that she knows him better than we do. There’s the little hope that he is a better person towards his family. I am clinging on to that hope. She wrote us telling us to forget she and her children existed and that they will take legal action if we ever tried to contact them. Brother in law deleted all his social media accounts and his friends apparently all want nothing to do with him. I have heard he is planning on leaving the city because everyone knows what he did now and he is having a hard time with it. He barely leaves the house and he has been shamed, even at work. My ex husband and I are moving on with the divorce. I don’t blame him for believing the rumors but at the same time I wish he knew me better like I thought he did. That I would never do such a thing and cheat on him. I am so sorry that he moved back for me and probably was hoping we could give it another chance but I can’t. He has apologized so many times and said so many times that he never truly believed the rumors but I have started to think that our marriage wasn’t strong enough to overcome a rumor. It is nobody’s fault but I thought our love was stronger than it actually was. I think we both thought that. I have started dating a new guy a few weeks before all this started, after over a year of me not even being able to leave bed. He has seen all of this unfolding and he’s been very patient and supportive. I think I have a real shot at happiness now. At least he knows everything and is well prepared in case my brother in law isn’t done with me yet. Thank you for reading all this. And thank you again for being there for me.
I know a little more about the nasa dolphin story, not much though: after the trainer got caught, I'm pretty sure the dolphin unalived itself from depression. Either way it's a yikes
I think it might be that the set there is more energetic, and Morgan's is more relaxed in comparison. I can get "dragged" into such things as well, which as an introvert sometimes scares me.
If I learned anything from life is to not trust people who hurt animals. That's a dangerous sign. Especially someone who shows little to no remorse about it. If the parents warned, it's for a reason. And I also never met a person that worked at an animal shelter and didn't own a pet. Although I know that last point isn't too valid because you can say the same about most jobs. Like saying you're a teacher with no kids. But there is a pattern to be wary about
Story 5 is extra wild when you consider just how many astronaut biographies exist. Chris Hadfield and Mike massimino have written about how they have had to do classes and gym workouts and stuff. Plus, he could end up being the guy who helps make the shuttle rather than being on it. Also you could get all the way through everything and then the final tests are like "ope! your eyes will not survive the intense rocket propulsions" or something.
For the story of the 7yo in pijamas, if you dont have a child of course is easy to say "i will turn around and take her home to change"... but when you have every day fights and tantrums about a simple thing every morning when the time is limited because you need to get out of the house in time and all, it does build overwhelmed in us parents, and it's gets harder every day, so taking her in pijamas and sticking to it is a crucial step for the girl to understand the boundaries and that she doesn't have the control, because if you turn around she will acknowledge that she can do whatever she wants, and the wife is not there every morning, so is easy for her to get mad but not understand where the dad is coming from, and that is frustrating too when you deal with constant tantrums on your own and your partner doesn't understand... In my case, my little girl (6yo) was giving us a hard time for breakfast, to the point that one day we said, ok, don't eat, i packed her more quantity of lunch but no snack, and afterwards she started eating her breakfast without a problem, of course I felt bad for taking her without food to school, and i cry when she said in our way to school that she was hungry, but i had to stick with my "threat", and it worked. My husband didn't understand why i was always frustrated with our little one, until i told him, fine, you take care of them for two weeks (waking them up and taking them to school) and then he changed his tune and understand me, and after that we have been a united front.
Exactly. Turning around or having something for her to change into will make the problem much worse. She is old enough to learn that her actions have consequences. I actually really like that approach. She didn’t go naked, just in her pajamas so in the grand scheme of life it is no big deal. Just saying fine if that is what you want to wear, do that. She will then decide if she likes what that brings. There is a creator I like a lot, mamacusaes, and she says if it is weather appropriate, who cares. Some battles are not worth the fight and the child can learn on her own if that is something that she wants to change or not. I also very seriously doubt she will be picked on. Most kids do not care or notice what other kids are wearing and honestly might think it is cool that she was allowed to wear pajamas like some kids are allowed to wear princess dresses or even pick out their own clothes instead of their parents doing it for them.
Also why would the kid be bullied for wearing pj’s? Because my son’s school has spirit days and they have “wear your pj’s to school and bring your stuffed animals!” So I don’t think that should be an issue.
@@Dij7897 that is exactly what I said. If I know anything about 7 year olds, it is that they would think she is lucky that her parents let her wear her pjs instead of making her wear a dress or jeans or whatever. Have you ever heard of Polar Express day?? It is the best day of the year and you wear your pjs. If it was seasonally appropriate and she was clothed it is really no big deal. It will teach her a lesson for sure, but it is not something that she is going to need to talk to her therapist about. The kids at school are not going to bully her, that is absurd.
They literally address how turning around could just turn into a new pattern of behavior in the video. Did you even finish the segment before commenting?
I never comment but this time I just have to. On story 2, the dad absolutely did the right thing in my view. If he had brought another outfit or had turned around, the daughter would have solidified that she's the boss of the parents, and she controls what they do. Instead, he taught her that actions and decisions have consequences. Don't want to change? Fine. But you don't get to dictate what the parent does when you change your mind too late. I bet she will never throw a fit about not changing clothes again. 7 is not too young to learn that lesson.
I personally agree with the parenting method, it's the natural consequence of not dressing up for school HOWEVER I do think that he should consult with his wife beforehand, it's one thing to know in advance and another to show up at school to pickup your kid and find out in front of other people.
No, quite the opposite. When your kid shows up to school petrified to get out of the car in pajamas and you pull out an outfit you are now the savior and worth listening to in the morning. I know because I actually raised a child. Torture is not a teacher.
@UnderstandingDarkness Yeah i agree with this commenter, the outfit doesnt negate the point because the child already faced the idea. Honestly the young child could easily interpret it as cruelty and hold a grudge.
Shayne's appearance brought me into this channel and 1. You have such a beautiful voice, 2. I love her so casually dumping information onto shayne like "did you know that?" "Did you read this?" And shayne truly being so overwhelmed because he hasn't! (Neither have i, i was equally confused about the whole dolpHIN ASSISTED CHILDBIRTH????) Such a cute moment 1:27:40
I got so hyped when I saw the thumbnail! Shayne's Smosh persona is usually so loud this is a nice change of pace. Good episode, I loved seeing both of you vibing ♡

Mother
“A lot of people don’t have parents, even if they’re alive” is such a powerful and true way to express that.
As a legal orphan, though not a true orphan, I concur lol
My biological parents are alive (I think), never met my biological father and my mother should have never had me. My dad wasn’t related to me, but I grieve him and the memories we shared, he’s my dad even though he’s dead. When I think of my mom I grieve for a mother figure but it is not her, it’s the things I think a mother should be. So I get to be that mom for my kids and I married a man just like my dad that passed away. I get to break the cycle and that is all the justice I need.
@@nessknows.Good on you. I need to remember this myself. I am breaking the cycle and it's really difficult and it takes time. Few will understand the struggle and turmoil and I will be better for it eventually. Just feels like so much life has been wasted

Two Hot Takes and Smosh Pit are literally the two channels I get my Reddit stories from. Crossover of the century!
Yassss the only other channel I watch is rslash. My top 3 reddit channels.
Same
Okop, Reddit On Wiki, R/Slash good channels! R/Slash got me into reddit story’s!
Same. I look forward to Thursdays and Saturdays.
Comfort Level Podcast is another great one! They are so silly, and I love their energy. Sometimes they act out certain stories, and I always crack up!
The pajama husband later clarified that he tried to talk to his wife about this before, but her response was basically “you are the one that is with her in the morning so it is up to you to find a solution”. He thinks that she doesn’t realize how much of a struggle it really was to get her in daywear.
I would do the same with my kids when they behave like the girl.
What a crossover. ANOTHER BANGER FROM SHAYNE TOPP FROM ICARLY

So Random
i found an update for story 3. OP said that the guy who told her about her BIL’s plan also contacted her ex-husband and told him everything as well. Her ex-husband came over and they talked. He said he had a gut feeling that she never cheated but the evidence was just so overwhelming. He apologized for not believing her but OP says she doesn’t think she can move on from this because the trust is gone. They’d been separated a year before the truth came out and he’s been dating other people and so has she. He said he wanted to go confront BIL but she begged him not to because she was waiting to tell her sister. She wanted her sister and the 3 kids to go to her parents house so they could be away from the BIL when she told her everything just in case he turned violent. Well the ex-husband didn’t listen and went to BIL’s house and tried to beat him up. OP’s sister is now mad at OP because her husband almost got beat. OP’s parents told the sister everything and at first she believed everything, but must’ve talked to BIL and changed her mind because now she doesn’t believe OP. Apparently OP’s ex-husband posted about the BIL’s lies and schemes all over social media and so now OP’s sister is mad at OP for “ruining” her husbands reputation. The BIL is telling OP’s sister that he wants to unalive himself because his life has been “ruined” by OP. The OP went to police and was told she doesn’t have a case. The ex-husband is moving back into town to be close to OP in case BIL wants to start something again. BIL filed a no-contact order against OP and her ex-husband. It’s a very unfortunate ending imo.
DAMN
Damn so messy so sad that people can rip up families so quickly
BIL filing a no contact order against OP is definitely not how I thought this would end. I just hope she is safe. Sad the police won’t believe her. She needs to move far away from BIL I think. And maybe get a very good lawyer.
At least the no contact order means he legally can't contact her either.
This is WILD and tragic
Love that Story Five is them saying "no, girlie, your husband isn't going to die if he becomes an astronaut, he's gonna die doing what he's doing now."
It’s okay to be selfish sometimes, especially when you have a kid with the person. However the extent she is taking it is too far. Ransoming their kid against the grandparents is cruel. And if she has heard her husband’s history and strong desire for this job, that is just sad she wants to take that away.
Yeah I was gonna say.. astronaut seems safer to me. I live near huge air force bases and hear stories all the time man.
She is literally abusing him. Even her own mom noticing a pattern of her hitting him, threatening him and throwing things. That’s abuse.
I’m sorry, but this girl is being absolutely ridiculous. Throwing tantrums hitting and throwing things. What are you five? You should be happy and proud and supportive of your husband. He’s in the military and he’s a test pilot. Girly be so for real. He’s more than likely gonna get hurt or killed doing what he’s doing now; then what he’d be doing if he was an astronaut. Your husband has goals and this is what he loves doing and what he wants to do with his life. You should be happy for him. Because at his age, that is a huge steppingstone.
@@hatchetfieldharpie3276thank you!!! No one mentioned this or discussed it! She’s literally abusing him and controlling him with violence and that’s what the duck

Oh he realllly is! Good thing he knows how simple it all is@@gnomie2.0
On story 5 about the potential astronaut
“She has thrown many tantrums over it, throwing things, hitting him and threatening to take my grandson away”. That is abuse. Just straight up abuse. She is physically abusing him and using their child as leverage. She wants to control his life, which is why the logic doesn’t hold. It’s not about loving him, it’s about control. She’s using physical violence, threats, fear and guilt to control his life. She sounds like a monster. She’s more than holding him back. She is abusing him. That man needs to get out and take his son with him. He needs help. Omg this was horrifying to hear.
When I tell you I have been PRAYING for this collab-
I’m low key afraid to wear headphones 😂
They’re both always so loud and enthusiastic I know I’m gonna be dead by the end
ME TOOOOOO FINALLY TWO OF MY FAVORITE
both of their voices combined makes the calmest podcast off all time to snooze too or just do nothing and listen….we need more of them together!!!!
I agree. The whole show just flowed effortlessly.
On story 5 the wife’s behaviour sounded less like “I can’t deal with the thought of losing you so if you become an astronaut I’ll have no choice but to leave” and more like “I don’t want you to do this so now I’m gonna punish you for not allowing my discomfort to dictate your life”.
Yep. Classic abuse. She’s even physically hitting him and leveraging their child. I can’t believe the conversation about this hasn’t been focused on the abuse
“Shut the fuck up” were the words that left my MOUTH seeing him as your guest. I love SMOSH, I have since I was to young to probably like SMOSH lol

22:22 ohmygod, there’s no doubt in my mind the BIL went after her littler sister JUST to be close to OP. He’s a stalker. This is obsession.
i wish it was more socially acceptable for men to go to therapy. the fact that he's been pining/planning this for years is really unhinged. the fact that he was able to "convince" OP's sister that OP was lying even after OP's sister initially believed her shows how manipulative he is. 100% he's only with the sister either because she reminds BIL or OP or because she's easy to manipulate.
It's giving "You!"
That was absolutely my first thought when they said he was still p***** over the Rejection in the texts. actually it was my first thought when he wouldn't let it go to their parents like did nobody notice that he's like hanging on to this way too. Hard like red flag.
Absolutely obvious. Hello, police??
@LLynneM also where are her parents and sisters when he told that story like oh yea btw called your sister one of the most vile things you can call a woman after she rejected me and now I'm pissed she doesn't remember it. If I was her sister immediately breaking up and her parents should have been pissed u called my daughter WHAT! .also if I was the sister in that exact moment even if he had just brushed it off and let it go, the first place my mind would go is, did he know who I was when we met?
For the 3rd story, send the screenshots of the admittance of guilt to the lawyer and have the lawyer send it to the husband’s lawyer. Also press charges against BIL
Update on the Psycho BIL Story: The friend who told OP also told the Ex at the same time, and he drove to OP's town to talk things over. OP told her parents and her parents told the Sister, who was shocked but started to believe them. They all planned on going to Sister's house the next day together to confront BIL. *Unfortunately,* that morning, Ex went to BIL & Sister's house by himself, confronted BIL, and a fight broke out. Then, Ex put BIL on blast on social media to let as many people know what happened. BIL apparently told Sister that the him and his friend lying that OP was cheating on Ex was a "joke," and this whole debacle is them unfairly trying to ruin his reputation and is making him s*icidal, and she *believes him!* OP said the she told the cops but says they won't do anything about it, and Ex is moving back to OP's town permanently to discourage BIL from getting violent. Everyone in the comments is telling OP to get a lawyer since the cops won't help her, but that's the last update from her in the last month.
Thank you, you’re doing the lords work
Something tells me, this is going to take a turn for tragedy. I feel like it could be murder happening in slow motion. I really hope I'm overreacting, but this man-child is clearly a psychopath & if money isn't a problem for him, the lengths he can go to, to cover his own a$$😕
@@emilyemily444 I think thats too extreme, Lawyers typically tell people not to post anything about there cases on social media. Thats most likely why she hasn't updated.
her sister believes him?? holy sht. how DELUDED can you be?? hopefully she just needs some time to come to her senses.
@kaylawoodbury2308 like I said, I really hope I'm overreacting.
Story 4 has 2 updates. The first covers OP going back to the parents to ask more questions. They give (and OP recites) some graphic descriptions of how he killed and dismembered various animals. The parents say it has to be in the 100s. The second update, OP confronts him in a restaurant and he confirms everything. He tells her that he started volunteering at the shelter in order to kill animals. He did kill a few, but then realized how pitful they are and grew fond of them. Most commenters have deemed it creative writing after the 2nd update.
Thanks, i was just gonna comment going at the whole "maybe the parents are lying" angle. Creative writing seems plausible
I just referenced "Of Mice and Men" in my comment earlier.
The 100s of animals and the parents just being okay with that with no remorse definitely makes it feel like creative writing bc ain’t no way
that story was fake
the one about the BIL seems creative writing too honestly. idk just seems like the OP was so chill about everything when anyone would be extremely mad and want to tell their sister and ex the truth immediately not try to hide it
The way I almost started clapping at “and my husband backed me up” during the cake story. I feel like I’ve read farrrrr too many stories where husband fails to take the wife’s side.
YESSS THIS!!! I was holding my breath, hoping husband wasn’t going to be like, “hey babe, you’re being too sensitive” like IM SO RELIEVED she has her husband’s support.
I love Shayne's calm energy through the video. He normally feels authentic on Smosh, but this feels more of like how he'd just be vibing day to day and I love it
This is Shayne off the clock
It only makes me love him more 💕
I think it could be the company. Some people can act different, but still be authentic, depending on who they are hanging out with.
I'm a very quiet and introverted person, but with some people I can be more outgoing.
This got ignored in Story 5, but in her anxiety or fear or whatever, she is screaming at him and HITTING him and threatening to take away their kids. That's not okay. She is not allowed to just be hitting him and threatening divorce like it is a weapon she can weild to make him choose what she wants. Her not wanting to go to therapy to discuss this is a big red flag for me. He should not have to give up his dreams to keep his kids.

Dude I couldn't believe neither of them said anything about that. She's abusing him. And refusing therapy. I don't think her behavior had anything to do with fear of him dying, she just wants to control him and not have her authority questioned.
The slug story haunts me to this day
yes agree they completely skate over the fact that she’s abusive & controlling & threatening to take the kid is super manipulative
I had to go back and rewatch that part coz somehow I completely missed that probably was multitasking when listening to that story. But I'm shocked they didn't bring that further up which is why I completely missed it. Yeah definitely shouldn't be together anymore if she's being abusive.
Wow, as an adult son who's currently trying to help my mom get through a divorce from my abusive father, when Shayne said that some people don't have parents and their parents are alive, it hit really hard, bc my plan is that once she's not responsible for him anymore, I'm going no contact with him too, and then he'll be out of my life. It's comforting to know that stuff like this happens to lots of ppl and I'm not alone with this guilt of no contacting someone who I was abused by and who I supported at the same time, for so many years.
Story 4 - the parents were 100% warning her. He just stopped at 17? ...I kiiiiinda doubt that, more like changed victim type. Girl, RUN!!!
Yea, hurting/killing animals at a young age is a very common thing amongst serial killers. Even if he hasn't thought about changing victims, the fact that he hurt animals until he was almost an adult (as far as the parents know...) is already a sign of him being vile.
And btw how did the parents not take him to a professional when he started doing this as a kid?
Omg that make sense and it’s so scary if it’s true
The post is fake, the account is gone but based on the comments OP's account had updates where OP did confront him, then it is implied that OP was unalived by their ex and their ex took over the account.
@@itssteph263I am SO happy to hear this is fake and that a bunch of childhood pets didn’t get murdered
@@itssteph263that's funny. I wasn't aware of that, but I literally commented earlier that I suspected the story was fake.
You can often tell based on the way the story is written. Fake posts are written to sound more like stories and are worded differently than when someone is just describing a problem they're dealing with. The fake posts often use a lot of extra adjectives and literary flourishes.
I always pay attention to that when I listen to these stories.
The pet killer, no way. Not possible to salvage, dump him and block him and change your locks! People don't grow out of murder.
Locks? I’m changing my name, phone number, and address. That guy was scary. Same with the BIL in story 3.
Found the updates and OP got mega sloppy. Way more graphic and obvious that the horrendous animal abuse was just their own self-indulgent storytelling. Really gross.
@@a_ggghostI'm glad it's fake, but definitely gross
Turns out the parents were lying. Was gonna say, how fucked up is it they knew he was killing all their pets and they kept getting new pets
@@a_ggghost Thank you for posting this. yeah, it just felt too rage-bait. like... You've seen NO signs, you've met the future inlaws multiple times, and they're only just now bringing this up? naw.
So for story 2 I fully support the dad especially since he is the one doing the school runs. He could have given his wife a heads up but he definitely showed her that there was a limit and did what parents are supposed to do in a harmless way. Now she knows that there are consequences to her actions.
Agreed!! Like this was not just telling them the consequences but having the consequences happen to them. Like chill out the child wasn’t hurt and yeah could have let his wife know but I don’t think he was in the wrong. Some people coddle their kids was to much and let them get away with way to much.
Yes! I actually disagree with the thought that he should have brought extra clothes for her to school. He set a boundary and she knew what was happening, and now she knows that dad will follow through. No one got hurt, this is a natural consequence of her actions and the best way some kids learn
My sister did this to my mom during kindergarten! It was winter in northern Alberta, she was REFUSING to wear pants under her dress. My mom fought with her all morning. So finally, my mom checked the temperature and said, "Fine. I'm done fighting you."
It was cold, but not dangerously cold and not meant to be colder and if you know anything about some parts of northern Alberta, most schools don't take the littles outside under certain temperatures; So my mom took her to school. My sister predictably was cold but didn't dare complain. She actually apologized to my mom.
Some lady, however, yelled at my mom. My mom shamelessly responded with, "Then you can dress her. She chose not to wear pants. She needs to learn. Guess what she'll never fight me on again!"
My sister never fought my mom again.
@@GirHelloKitty00 Badass mom!
Literally how I found two hot takes was because of Shayne and Smosh!! Currently freaking the flip out!! I will not be able to talk to anyone for the next 3-5 business days!!
I found Shayne and Smosh because of THT. 😄 I loved THT so much that when I came across Smosh Pit's Reddit Stories, I got hooked and explored more of their stuff. 💜
Same! I found smosh from their Facebook post of them buying it back! I had heard of them before but didn't pay attention. Then I found their reddit stories and became obsessed with reddit stories!
@@balancingthedarksame! But tbh I found THT cause of my love for rslash's youtube videos. Then I got recommended this channel and then later smosh pit.
Peak content.
@@soccersinger101I found THT through jonmosslol. Some of his videos featured their clips, and after listening to a robot voice read some Reddit stories one day, I remembered how much I enjoyed those clips. I didn't know who they were, though, and found them by searching "Reddit stories" and sorting through the results until I recognized Morgan.
Look into father knows something, it's Morgan, Justin and morgans dad Jerry it's great too
The fact that Shayne got so excited talking about the Barbie cake and how cool he thought it was as a kid 🥹🥹 what a true gem of a person!! ❤️
He is so wholesome, his Reddit videos are my favorite out of any of them!
I need Shayne to know the depths of HOW crazy the dolphin story is because it's actually unbelievable. It involves acid, astral projection, and was run by the inventor of the sensory deprivation pool.
You've got me very, very curious now.
The only 2 dolphin stories I can think of is that dude that had a "relationship" with a dolphin in Florida (I think), even had... the deed with it.
The 2nd is I guess up in the air as I just heard about it, but supposedly a CIA experiment with a woman raising a dolphin and them doing acid together.
Dear god the dolphins doing Acid! I forgot about that part!
Was looking for this comment. Like they didn’t even MENTION the LSD part 😅
That man shouldn't stay married to someone who starts throwing things at him and hitting him when they're upset regardless of his career path.
Agree. That is the thing I take away from this story. Regardless of whether he goes to space or not, his wife is abusive.
That story made me so sad. That's abuse in my eyes. I hope he gets out safe and continues pushing his career.
I was thinking about that the entire time they were talking about the story, and I was shocked neither of them caught it and mentioned something about it.
i was so surprised they didn't immediately point that out! she is abusing him and he may not have any marks on him but that doesn't mean she doesn't hurt him or disrespect him in that way.
@@stephaniekistler5222 oh it's definitely abuse, however you spin it
Story 3: this dude has the mentality of guys who still talk about “the girl who broke their heart in 7th grade” being the reason he has trouble trusting women and he’s like 42. Like, you were this pissed for 10years?!!?! GET A LIFE. And I 100% agree he sought out the sister just so he could stay close to OP possibly to “watch her downfall” or ruin her in any way he could. I also feel like if he got OP low enough and had the chance, he would definitely try to sleep with her just for the satisfaction. This is a game to him
He genuinely sounds like a sociopath, seriously how pathetic to spend 10 years hung up on a rejection and then investing all that energy to try to ‘get back at them’ even though OP did nothing wrong. Entitled people ruin everything
This is the guy that eventually murders you in his basement
“We’re like the same person” gives chosen energy 🤣
"Smoshpit. I'm being told i's like Two Hot Takes but with a dude."
Found Story 3 on Reddit and there’s a little, kind of sad, update: she talked to her husband, he believes her now, and he got pissed off at the brother-in-law, went and tried to fight him before she had a chance to talk to her sister. Husband blasted psycho brother-in-law (BOL) on social media, sister got angry that the husband tried to fight him, parents confused and shocked. She talked to her parents about everything and they believe her and think she should’ve had the chance to talk to sister before husband blew up everything about it. Sister now won’t talk to her. This was the update as of 35 days ago.
Edit, sorry there was another from OP more recent, 19 hours ago, I’ll just post the text: “I will make an update when anything new happens. My sister is still shilly-shallying and can’t decide if she is angry with her husband or believes me. I am mostly worried that he would hurt her since I don’t trust men like him. I have listened to my story told by a guy on RUclips and he called me passive and it made me sad. I guess nobody knows how scary abusive men are and how they’re most dangerous when they’re about to lose. Most violence against women is committed once the woman is taking steps to set herself free. And this man has my sister and her small children. I am not being passive. I am being cautious. F you Markee!”
FYI she’s not talking about this video obviously and others are commenting that they show empathy here in this video fwiw.
Hey can you please send the link? 🙏🏻
@@lysimaciel2595 RUclips deletes links in comments but go to the subreddit r/TrueOffMyChest and type “my brother in law is the reason why my husband left me, I don’t know what to do now.” That’s the exact title. Then click the OP and see her comments.
thank u sm for this ur the best
Ooffff.
Nothing she said in her last update is wrong at face value, but if you're worried about your, your sister, and your children's lives, then not warning her, or the police, or her ex, is definitely the passive way to maneuver that very real issue, and it did cause issues when suddenly the husband is trying to fight the brother in law and sister doesn't know what's happening and who to be mad at, BIL knows that she knows, and there is no plan to remove the sister if she becomes dangerous. If the plan is anything but "be single forever to appease BIL", then her cautionary period hurt the situation.
Nobody should be expected to be 'optimal' in a life threatening situation, AT ALL. I don't blame her for being cautious. But I don't like the message she's sending with hindsight. Frankly, she's lucky that Bil wants a restraining order- for now- and not revenge, because the day after that fight he could've done ANYTHING. Ex "slandering" him before sister could talk to her only helps BIL gaslight sister too. 'Don't make a move because it could be dangerous' isn't necessarily great advice, especially if she doesn't live with the dude and can easily work around him
Story 5 - a great example of “YOUR DAUGHTER IS ABUSIVE” - if you love your grandkid you will suggest they break up. That kid is learning that love is to hit and get hit
Legit … she is stopping him from all his career attempts (given its now job#2) AND hitting him? She must seeeriously feel out of control/threatened by the idea of him having achievements. That’s not right and honestly, if the marriage has run its course then so be it..
as soon as i heard that, i was like “fck that, get a divorce”.
if a partner lays a hand on you, that’s your break up. you shouldn’t even have to tell them it’s over, it just is.
imo, there is no coming back from that.
Unfortunately, we as a society tend to overlook abuse or abusive behavior against men.
Right!!! I was irritated no one focused on that part more!! Like thats nott ok.
@@torit4534So glad other people noticed this. They just didn’t even mention that she was verbally and physically abusing the poor guy, along with crushing his dreams. The OP needs to get their daughter away and get her help.
That second story really reminded me a lot of my parents. What the dad did in that story is absolutely what my dad did with me when I was smaller. I wanted to do something despite what he'd say, he'd eventually just say, "Fine, go ahead," and then not go back on his choice even when I'd ask. Really made me think more about my actions and the consequences they had. My mom was always very hesitant to do stuff like that, and would always bring things in case I changed my mind. My parents used to argue about parenting styles since they both grew up in very different environments (my dad in a Hispanic household and my mom in a non-ethnic household). My dad still does say things like, "Yep, of course she'd say that." Never really saw it as him disrespecting my mom, especially since my mom does the same thing with him. They just have differing views and realize it and just try to handle it like adults while doing the best they can to raise my neurodivergent-self (lol).
Back to the story, communication definitely could've been done better. However, I don't necessarily think that the dad was in the wrong. Taught his kid an important life lesson that'll help build them to be a better person.
love that Shayne had the opportunity to give his expert psychology degree opinion on these stories

The story was fake
As the parent of a 6 year old, I'm perfectly content letting her wear whatever she wants to school. She'll go out in fancy dresses, in pajama pants and a sweater, in leggings and a romper with a skirt on top. I'm totally happy letting her express herself with her clothes, and I think that helps her feel better about getting dressed. Getting your kid involved in picking their own clothes out helps them feel autonomy in their life, which is largely governed by anyone BUT them. HOWEVER - I fully agree about NOT turning the car around once she's made the decision to keep her PJ's on. School drop off lines, tardiness, work schedules, etc., those things don't change because your mind changes. I don't care for consequences that are arbitrary and don't make sense outside of simply enacting control, but I'm definitely okay letting the natural consequences of life occur, and if we've left the house we've left the house.
You sounds like a wonderful parent! 😊🩷🩷✨
This kid sounds like she may be on the spectrum. Every single day without fail it’s a fight to get her dressed? She needs an autism assessment stat. Sleep clothes are very comfortable, regular clothes aren’t and it’s extremely common for autistic children to feel distressed by sensations. For some it’s the tags and fabric, for others it’s the looseness or for me the tightness. It’s a common thing for autistic children to fight getting dressed in the morning. That’s a big part of what autism is, difficulty processing sensory information. He’s punishing her when she’s already suffering. I’ve struggled with this my whole life and it is fucked, I can’t wear anything tight or I literally cannot function. It’s not for lack of trying.
And I too was punished using public humiliation for things beyond my control and I got to tell you, that only held me back and caused even more social anxiety than I already had from trying to mask my differences. It’s also proven in studies that public humiliation harms not helps. My MIL is a child psychologist and she said it is catergorically not recommended to use public humiliation as a form of punishment. Whether he intended it or not that was the outcome.
They should be doing as you do, letting her pick her clothes. And at the store, she needs to try them on and see what feels right.
Yes Morgan I agree!!! Story 3!! I don’t think the BIL randomly met the younger sister!! If he can hold a grudge for so long and make op’s life a living hell, that’s scary!! She needs to tell!!
No, because then the whole family will be under the same wrath

Shayne: You really find THE WORST stories 😂
He definitely needed a pallet cleanser. 🤭😂
Story 4- he didn't grow out of it, he graduated from animals.
EXACTLY what I said
it’s a fake story. op’s last update gave it away. it’s literally written like a story
Yeah, that's what would've happened were that story real. It's not, they made multiple posts, tons of comments. The following updates are literally written in the form of a story. It's disturbing hat OP would make up this kind of stuff (there is graphic detail about the supposed animal abuse/killing)
They must be either an aspiring writer (not the place) or they fantasize about doing the kind of stuff they're describing. It's fake regardless.
😬
there are REAL true crime stories similar / exactly like it. so its plausibly real, or copied from those stories @@bamboozled1449
such a good ep. but Morgan really said "oh he has a reddit podcast? im holding nothing back" and traumatized him 😂
Story 1: controversial opinion…I don’t think the bride would be an a-hole for asking him to style It in a slightly less dramatic way, if possible. Unlike the other bridesmaids stories used for comparison, she isn’t asking for any sort of actual, physical change. It’s no different than saying, “the bridesmaids all need to wear their hair in an updo.” If she asked him to cut his mustache, that’s different, but I see no issue with asking for more uniformity in the groomsmen’s style.
I think you can alist ask but most guys does care about their public image and maybe that style gives him confidence to go out so if he said no I don’t think he should be class as the a hole or op for asking

They've talked about which person switch on their wild side for the show and they said Shayne is usually rather chill, reserving his energy for camera. He's still a goofy guy outside of the shoots but not nearly as high energy. It's nice seeing this part of him.

Story 2 is exactly what I would have done. Techable moments, and sometimes embarrassing your kid by allowing them to make their own choices and seeing what the consequences are is ok. As long as it isn’t detrimental to there long term well being, it’s fine. Plus the other parent was not there to help make that decision so that is one made in the moment. It does not mean you love them any less, it means that you love them enough to explore consequences when they think they know better. Tough love comes in all forms, and in some cases, they cannot learn unless you let them fall. I been a parent long enough to know this. 13:54
Shaynes takes on peoples personal appearances is always one of my favorite things to hear. Especially for someone you can visually relate to the type of people who'd maybe not be that accepting. Anytime a conversation about silly outfits or unconventional appearances gets brought up im immediately stoked to hear him validate being individualistic.
You notice they always nag him about his cool outfits on Who Memed It?! I think he looks dope
Story 3 was actually scary. That is a scary and dangerous man who is cosplaying as a good guy to her sister.. she needs to let everyone involved know. He’s held on to this grudge for years.. literal years. Who’s to say he didn’t intentionally date her sister? He’s been obsessed over this rejection for years. So much so, that he was willing to send her nudes which is ILLEGAL and literally ruin her marriage. That’s fucking scary.
no literally, i’m convinced he married her sister ONLY TO DO THIS because he’s obvi been obsessed with her for YEARS….it’s actually terrifying and very unsafe
S3, the stalker bil story, I'm sorry for the sister but her husband is NOT a good man. He WILL do the same thing to her that he did to the OP the SECOND he deems she's stepped out of line. Press. Charges. Get a restraining order. Do NOT let him get away with this sh*t
S5, the potential astronaut story is very simple: BIL needs to decide if he can not do this and NEVER resent her for this. I don't believe it's possible for him to never ever resent her for not letting him go for what soundsblike a lifelong dream. Also, de facto f*ck her for HITTING him. Her fear doesn't justify her abuse
When my sister was in third grade (she’s 3 years younger) she would wear a vampire Halloween costume fangs and all every day with a pair of boots for an entire year. I used to be so embarrassed but my grandma just let her. It’s a great memory now

Just an FYI because I see it come up a lot online, that story about the C-section charge for "skin to skin" is actually justified. Patients after a C-section are often shaky, faint, and drowzy, and the charge is just to pay for the extra nurse in the room to oversee everything, so that the new mom doesn't faint and drop their baby.
I agree that hospital bills are ridiculous, and you should demand an itemized bill for everything, but this one isn't actually a very good example.
That's still a ridiculous thing to charge for

Story 2. As a parent with a ten yr old who may be on the spectrum, mornings are really hard for us. I’m a single parent who gets lots of help from my parents due to the nature of her birth and who her dad is. At the end of the day, it was my job to figure out why mornings were so hard no matter the help I have. Especially bc my dad wasn’t being super understanding. She now gets up early as all hell to watch her shows and she wears soft sweats that are different than pajamas but make clothing complaints less of an issue. Routine is key with any child. The parents should get to the root of why mornings are so hard and adjust.
Thank you for this!!
hi, im on the spectrum (33 year old male). have you looked into pathological demand avoidance (pda)? its what i have. posting here cos its worth considering. but i do have to say it sounds like if routine is important for your kid, they may not be PDA cos PDA is a resistance to structure and routine. always hard to tell though. but just sharing so you cna look into the possibility.
if you need any advice or insight my door is open :)
i was actually well behaved as a kid, my avoidance was more internal (i'd hold it in and pee my pants) and i was sick alot so avoided school cos of that. but as an adult, i can say i struggle with certain clothes (dont even wear shoes), and i need HOURS in the morning to unwind before i begin doing anything productive. ive always felt getting up, shoving down breakfast and rushing to go to school/work was unhealthy. so i think what you're doing is great
What's the second I heard the second story I thought the child might be on the spectrum. My son hates getting dressed in the morning. Regular clothes are so overstimulating. We do no tags on his clothes, no jeans.
Yeah. I was thinking that they needed to find out why the 7 year old was throwing a fit.
Rigjt I'm autistic and the first thing I thought of while listening to that story was how awful mornings and going to school were for me as a kid (then undiagnosed) for a whole host of reasons. The phrasing of OPs post made me sad as well (saying the kid was always throwing a "fit", thinking it's more important to "teach her a lesson" when she's crying and begging to go home, etc)
Even if the kid isn't ND it's important either way to get to the -root- of -why- the problems are problems instead of just focusing on "bad" behaviors/making them stop
As an OTR I really appreciate Morgan always mentioning occupational therapy. We’re such an important but under recognized field💕
Story 6: I love hearing how much her husband has her back on this issue
As a teacher the pajamas story is exactly what you do. If you throw a fit and don’t want to wear clothes this is a natural consequence. Very well done in my opinion. There needs to be a follow up with the kid though and for the dad to explain why it happened.
I agree. I would’ve done the same thing at that point too. Sending her to school in PJs is like the least traumatic thing they could’ve done and a very good, fair, and light disciplinary action. She will be just fine and probably learned from the experience in a totally nonharmful way for everyone involved.
I would have brought the clothes with me and gave her the choice to to get dressed at home without a fuss or she’s going to ACTUALLY go to school in PJs next time and explain it’s because she has such a fit over it…. Like have a conversation about it. But hopefully it remedied the morning tantrums..
Yes traumatizing your kid is an excellent parenting strategy
Nah, you bring clothes for seeing the outcome. Don’t torture kids to teach them.
That's what I was thinking, the "bringing clothing with just in case" feels like teaching the child that even if they are in trouble it doesn't really matter because her parents will backpedal at the last moment anyway so do whatever you want.
So when people look at pictures from my wedding and see pictures of us with all our friends they inevitably say the same thing: who's that dude?! And it's a random guy I didn't know and only met at my wedding that one of my friends brought. He's in a bright orange plaid shirt, with white guy dreads and giant beard, lots of piercings...he stands out. And it's just hilarious because I don't even know his name, he's just That Guy from my wedding pictures. What the bride in the first story should do is make sure the rest of the wedding party also have distinct features so no one stands out lol.

Story 2: Is the little girl getting bullied? If she throws a tantrum EVERY MORNING when she needs to get dressed for school I think there is something up. The parents need to talk to their daughter and ask what is going on
I was wondering if she had sensory issues but it could definitely be a bullying situation!
Ohhh I didn’t think of that that’s a question that needs to be asked.
Yeah the father's reaction was over exaggerated, harmful and probably hurtful to the kid. I understand kid can't be allowed to do as they please always, but it seems like a deeper rooted issue, that could be solved in a better way like trying some encouragement about clothes or a reward system. Idk going to school in pyjamas used to be my worst nightmare. That action of the father just seemed neglectful and like a half-assed parenting style. The parents should either tough it out as it's a normal kid thing and the child is still quite young, so it will pass with time and there are other things to let them know the boundary on that don't involve public humiliation and break of trust. If they don't want to do that tho then go to a therapy or smth there are places you can seek advice/help from that doesn't impact your kid negatively. OP chose to put in the least effort and pursue the worst option. Also going to sleep in clothes does not sound comfy at all, but maybe it's just an American thing? Pls sb tell me, I have never heard of that before.
I'm sad that other comments don't address this... for me the obvious thing to do would be to be to investigate why getting dressed makes the daughter so upset. The dad and the commenters completely overlooking this and focusing on "teaching her a lesson" is so, so gross to me. Children aren't people to them
it’s obvious she doesn’t want to go to school for whatever reason or she’s being bullied for the clothes her parents pick out.
Not sure if anyone else will agree with me on this bu although I appreciate the fact that Morgan chooses new, fresh stories,t I would prefer it if she wait until the stories have updates.
*Story 4 -* Shayne hit hard w/that one “Under 25yo men … u don’t know who they yet.” Ugh I could hv used that info before marrying my future ex-husband when he was 24yo.
i’m 22 and i’m far from figuring out who i am
Even at 25 or older they don’t, my ex was 26 and he didn’t know anything, glad we didn’t marry
Yeah same… but I also know I probably wouldn’t have listened. Broke up 2 weeks shy of the second anniversary when I was 25 😂. Live and learn!
1:43:10 Not to be *that* person, but when I took an intro to Sociology course in college, I learned about this study with results that have always stuck with me:
When it comes to heteronormative couple dynamics, the following results were collected from data in a study regarding how much money each partner makes in relation to the delegation of household responsibilities:
When the male partner makes more money than the female partner, more household responsibilities tend to fall on the female partner than the male partner.
When the male and female partners make the same or comparable amount of money, the house hold responsibilities are more evenly split between both partners with the majority still falling on the female partner.
When the *female* partner makes more money than the *male* partner, 0% of the household responsibilities are assumed by the male partner.
Let that sink in.
Loved the episode, and thanks for having Shayne on as a guest!
I'm living proof of the third scenario unfortunately 😅
I have seen many families where the mother is the one with an income and the fater is stay at home and does all the housework and takes care of the children.
@@artluver94cI have heard of a few but I think they’re saying generally and statistically.. 😢 unfortunately
@@3llzebubsame - that's why he's now an ex.
@@artluver94c I believe this study was on relationships where both people worked full time.
1:08:39 "3 days until the [birthday] party." Oh good, now we get to wander around our 8bit house and wait to be scared by our brother.
“have you read the coconut story?” me suddenly: * WAR FLASHBACKS * LMAOOO MORGAN PLSSS 😭😭😂😂😂😂
Story 4: girl, GET OUT. You will never be unafraid for your pets, and you won't be able to trust him. How does the idea of having children with him sit in your gut? If you're having any thought of staying, talk to a therapist, ask them for an honest opinion, pull him in for a session (get an assessment from your therapist).
Well no because, in OP's sick fantasy, therapists think he's just fine. OP is the one who needs assessment for writing something this awful:
r/BORUpdates/comments/1akyehh/aita_for_not_wanting_my_boyfriend_anywhere_near/
Speaking from first hand experience .. which left me dead for 1min 23seconds. GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT . killing pets is a huge marker for serial killers. I didn't ignore the signs but I wasn't aware of particularly the cruelty to animals until I became the animal in his eyes. We didn't have pets but one day an ex of his and I ran into each other and she told me quickly and every directly that. He lied when he said she was at fault for their split. He killed her dog because she went out to dinner with her family and he wanted her to stay and he tried to drive them both into a river she had pics to prove it. Since I was already being abused I believed her but 2 days after that I found out heaven is real and spent the next 37 days in the hospital. Get out before you cant
that story was fake
@@hanu9830story is fake
What I want to know…did Morgan know about the Shartney wedding??? 😮😮😮
Two hot takes? More like two hotties with takes! I love both of these people! Best crossover episode ever! Now host Morgan needs to go on Smosh Pit for Reddit Stories ❤❤❤
She did! Video is up now :)
I'm over here like "YES TELL SHAYNE THE COCONUT STORY!!" LMAO 😂
At least tell him off camera, but only show his reaction after for us! Lmao
okay just to confirm, the coconut story is where the guy m*sturbates using a coconut and then all the stuff with maggots right?
@@needmesomebones yes, you are correct
NOOO
Yesss this @@sydneyice
Story 2: when i was in the 4th grade i had this insane teacher. she was just very unprofessional and inappropriate with the personal stories she told us (child abuse, sexual assault, etc)
One day I wore my PJs to school because I thought it was pajama day. I was wrong, it was the next day.
I was really embarrassed, i asked her if i could go to the office and call my mom to get a change of clothes. I only lived a block away from the school. My teacher said no, that the office clerk hates children and doesn’t want to be bothered. (???)
I hate her to this day.
Story 3: this is why women can’t even “just reject men” if they creep us out
the way my jaw dropped at the title! so excited
Just seeing his face in the thumbnail made me so excited
Story 4, could it have been they were joking? Like “heh our son can’t take care of anything! They always die because he forgets to feed them” or was it like he takes a knife and stabs them? Like…what?!
That's what I thought too, but in the updates the parents said he'd get mad at the dogs for chewing up his shoes or something and the next day they'd find the dogs brutally murdered :((
Morgan’s shameful “I’m sorry everyone” took me out LOL
you’re so pretty✨
omg the best collab ever!
Story #3 has always bothered me when it comes to the photos. I keep wondering if the husband didn't somehow share them with the BIL, especially since it was said that they were close.
It sort of reminds me of the post where the OP's boyfriend's friends "found" her profile on Tinder, and forced her to video call them with her hands up while they texted the profile, only to find it was fake. A while later, she caught her boyfriend sending her photos to his friends, questioned it, & he finally broke down & revealed he asked his friends to create the fake dating profile in order to see how she reacted to being accused of cheating.
so like i don't have much to say, but i can say this: if a persons parents WARN you about them and it's worse than "they're kinda messy"... run! simply run. parents know their kids best if if they come with a warning label they ain't safe. my exes mom warned me that he was abusive, as in has beaten his own mother before, i didn't wait to hear it twice.
Story 1 i disagree with you all. Asking someone to style their mustache differently is no different than asking a woman to style her hair differently. As long as op wasnt wanting him to shave it off she was in the clear.
Thank you. It's not a huge imposition to request him not to use a ton of products to force a curl to stay in a mustache for one day. And yes, lots of people style their hair in a specific style to be a bridesmaid. Only permanent changes are unreasonable 🤷♀️
I’ve noticed she definitely does tend to be swayed when the well known or bigger guests are in her podcast. Still love her tho but definitely disagreed with several of her takes.
That's what they said though?
That's what I was thinking too. She isn't asking him to shave it, just style it differently
Update: My brother in law is the reason why my husband divorced me.
I am sorry that I have been gone for too long and I am overwhelmed by the support that you have given me here. Some of you still asking about me.
I don’t know where to start. I have been in constant pain and stress about everything that happened but my brother in law is now exposed to everyone about what he did to me. For those of you who think he is in love with me, he isn’t. He very much hates my guts and has done since the day I rejected him. Hate is also a driving force and not only love. So for the stupid users (that I would like to call losers) who made fun of me it about me (bragging?) about a man not being over me in 20 years, that’s is not it. If this is bragging, then you’re actually very sick in the head. Unfortunately I was sent these comments from a different sub about (updates?). What a bunch of losers.
I was in constant fear that my brother in law will be hurting my sister because of me and I am not certain if he will. But that was the only reason I have been “apathetic”. I wasn’t sure what the right step was with people like him. He has hidden his hatred so well for so long so what more is he capable of? I didn’t want my sister and her children to be the collateral damage. That’s why I have been careful. I am sorry to disappoint you by not being the “strong bad bitch”. I have other priorities.
My sister and I finally talked. I love her and her children very much. She seemed just very hurt and questioning her entire marriage and who can blame her? I tried the baby steps approach. I wanted her to know I was there for her and I was honest with her about my worries about her and her children with a man like him. It worked for a while and I was being hopeful but something changed and it probably had to do with her husband giving her an ultimatum. Divorce or cut your family off. She chose her marriage. It broke my parents and me but I don’t think we can do anything about it. It is her own choice even if we believe it is coerced. But maybe there’s this little chance that she knows him better than we do. There’s the little hope that he is a better person towards his family. I am clinging on to that hope. She wrote us telling us to forget she and her children existed and that they will take legal action if we ever tried to contact them.
Brother in law deleted all his social media accounts and his friends apparently all want nothing to do with him. I have heard he is planning on leaving the city because everyone knows what he did now and he is having a hard time with it. He barely leaves the house and he has been shamed, even at work.
My ex husband and I are moving on with the divorce. I don’t blame him for believing the rumors but at the same time I wish he knew me better like I thought he did. That I would never do such a thing and cheat on him. I am so sorry that he moved back for me and probably was hoping we could give it another chance but I can’t. He has apologized so many times and said so many times that he never truly believed the rumors but I have started to think that our marriage wasn’t strong enough to overcome a rumor. It is nobody’s fault but I thought our love was stronger than it actually was. I think we both thought that. I have started dating a new guy a few weeks before all this started, after over a year of me not even being able to leave bed. He has seen all of this unfolding and he’s been very patient and supportive. I think I have a real shot at happiness now. At least he knows everything and is well prepared in case my brother in law isn’t done with me yet.
Thank you for reading all this. And thank you again for being there for me.
Story 7 and the dolphins had me in tears! Shane looks so confused 😂
I read this comment literally 30 seconds before she said it and I was still not ready 😭
I know a little more about the nasa dolphin story, not much though: after the trainer got caught, I'm pretty sure the dolphin unalived itself from depression. Either way it's a yikes
Seeing Shayne chill af is crazy but awesome to see 😂 He goes the extra energy mile for Smosh videos.
I think it might be that the set there is more energetic, and Morgan's is more relaxed in comparison.
I can get "dragged" into such things as well, which as an introvert sometimes scares me.
If I learned anything from life is to not trust people who hurt animals. That's a dangerous sign. Especially someone who shows little to no remorse about it. If the parents warned, it's for a reason. And I also never met a person that worked at an animal shelter and didn't own a pet. Although I know that last point isn't too valid because you can say the same about most jobs. Like saying you're a teacher with no kids. But there is a pattern to be wary about
Story 5 is extra wild when you consider just how many astronaut biographies exist. Chris Hadfield and Mike massimino have written about how they have had to do classes and gym workouts and stuff. Plus, he could end up being the guy who helps make the shuttle rather than being on it. Also you could get all the way through everything and then the final tests are like "ope! your eyes will not survive the intense rocket propulsions" or something.
For the story of the 7yo in pijamas, if you dont have a child of course is easy to say "i will turn around and take her home to change"... but when you have every day fights and tantrums about a simple thing every morning when the time is limited because you need to get out of the house in time and all, it does build overwhelmed in us parents, and it's gets harder every day, so taking her in pijamas and sticking to it is a crucial step for the girl to understand the boundaries and that she doesn't have the control, because if you turn around she will acknowledge that she can do whatever she wants, and the wife is not there every morning, so is easy for her to get mad but not understand where the dad is coming from, and that is frustrating too when you deal with constant tantrums on your own and your partner doesn't understand...
In my case, my little girl (6yo) was giving us a hard time for breakfast, to the point that one day we said, ok, don't eat, i packed her more quantity of lunch but no snack, and afterwards she started eating her breakfast without a problem, of course I felt bad for taking her without food to school, and i cry when she said in our way to school that she was hungry, but i had to stick with my "threat", and it worked. My husband didn't understand why i was always frustrated with our little one, until i told him, fine, you take care of them for two weeks (waking them up and taking them to school) and then he changed his tune and understand me, and after that we have been a united front.
Exactly. Turning around or having something for her to change into will make the problem much worse. She is old enough to learn that her actions have consequences. I actually really like that approach. She didn’t go naked, just in her pajamas so in the grand scheme of life it is no big deal. Just saying fine if that is what you want to wear, do that. She will then decide if she likes what that brings. There is a creator I like a lot, mamacusaes, and she says if it is weather appropriate, who cares. Some battles are not worth the fight and the child can learn on her own if that is something that she wants to change or not. I also very seriously doubt she will be picked on. Most kids do not care or notice what other kids are wearing and honestly might think it is cool that she was allowed to wear pajamas like some kids are allowed to wear princess dresses or even pick out their own clothes instead of their parents doing it for them.
Yeah, with both of their responses, I can clearly tell they’ve never dealt with a seven-year-old 🙄
Also why would the kid be bullied for wearing pj’s? Because my son’s school has spirit days and they have “wear your pj’s to school and bring your stuffed animals!” So I don’t think that should be an issue.
@@Dij7897 that is exactly what I said. If I know anything about 7 year olds, it is that they would think she is lucky that her parents let her wear her pjs instead of making her wear a dress or jeans or whatever. Have you ever heard of Polar Express day?? It is the best day of the year and you wear your pjs. If it was seasonally appropriate and she was clothed it is really no big deal. It will teach her a lesson for sure, but it is not something that she is going to need to talk to her therapist about. The kids at school are not going to bully her, that is absurd.
They literally address how turning around could just turn into a new pattern of behavior in the video. Did you even finish the segment before commenting?
I think we should compromise on the coconut story. Like maybe don't keep the reading in the edit, but I need to see the guests' reactions lol
I never comment but this time I just have to. On story 2, the dad absolutely did the right thing in my view. If he had brought another outfit or had turned around, the daughter would have solidified that she's the boss of the parents, and she controls what they do. Instead, he taught her that actions and decisions have consequences. Don't want to change? Fine. But you don't get to dictate what the parent does when you change your mind too late. I bet she will never throw a fit about not changing clothes again. 7 is not too young to learn that lesson.
I think Nanny Jo did a similar thing.
I personally agree with the parenting method, it's the natural consequence of not dressing up for school HOWEVER I do think that he should consult with his wife beforehand, it's one thing to know in advance and another to show up at school to pickup your kid and find out in front of other people.
No, quite the opposite. When your kid shows up to school petrified to get out of the car in pajamas and you pull out an outfit you are now the savior and worth listening to in the morning. I know because I actually raised a child. Torture is not a teacher.
@UnderstandingDarkness Yeah i agree with this commenter, the outfit doesnt negate the point because the child already faced the idea.
Honestly the young child could easily interpret it as cruelty and hold a grudge.
Shayne's appearance brought me into this channel and 1. You have such a beautiful voice, 2. I love her so casually dumping information onto shayne like "did you know that?" "Did you read this?" And shayne truly being so overwhelmed because he hasn't! (Neither have i, i was equally confused about the whole dolpHIN ASSISTED CHILDBIRTH????)
Such a cute moment 1:27:40
Oh really Shayne? Your wedding? The one that DEFINITELY ISN'T HAPPENING LIKE SHORTLY AFTER THIS PODCAST?
I got so hyped when I saw the thumbnail!
Shayne's Smosh persona is usually so loud this is a nice change of pace.
Good episode, I loved seeing both of you vibing ♡
