@@GrumpyOldFart2 that is exactly what I was wondering after hearing this. I really don't think there was an ex and 110% believe it's *him* that is the problem. No one in their right mind would pull something like this in the first place, let alone gaslight a person about their reaction to thinking their partner is dead. OP needs to just run and never look back!
Tbf I've heard that those who've been abused or who have been around abuse don't recognize when they're being abusive or are doing exactly the stuff their abusers did to them. Like it's been so normalized type deal. Doesn't excuse it but it's a reason it could happen.
My guess is he’s pulled this death fake out to “get out of trouble” before and after the ex melted down he got mad and labeled her crazy, abusive and manipulative. Which is in itself crazy, abusive and manipulative. So I think you’re spot on.
OP 1 needs to RUN. Her bf is a legit psycho. His ex wasn't manipulative, HE is. Funny how toxic people always insist their exes are terrible, every last one.
He faked his death and then acted like you were in the wrong? When he KNOWS you have a history of self harm. He is disgusting and I would definitely get rid! Trust your gut ❤
This is so heartless. This man is sick to pull this prank on his GF. He needs intensive therapy, rather than the OP. This is a level of callousness that no one should display toward the person they claim to love. OP should leave before he completely messes her up. This is a level of sociopathic that I cannot fathom.
True. "Oh, but I wanna drive drunk though. Boohoo. Wait, let me think. If I make her even MORE sad, then she wont be sad about me driving drunk anymore. Wow. That's brilliant. I am a genius. Time to go party!" Utterly devoid of empathy.
That's why it's a red flag imo if anyone tells me their ex was crazy/controlling. Sure, there absolutely are those exes who are, but there are almost as much people who say that so their crazy/controlling behavior is thought of a result of their prior relationship and put aside.
Hold on! Just because the girl SAID she got a DNA test and the other guy wasn't the father does not mean that his friend IS the father! The friend STILL needs the DNA test! She could have been sleeping with more than just those two and she could be lying still!
Exactly what I was going to say. Always get a DNA test. They really should be mandatory. So much nonsense and misery could be avoided. Too many kids have no clue about their own family medical history. Not to mention possible involuntary incest. Too many guys out there impregnating too many hos and nobody knows who is closely related to who.🙄
True, but if he ends up getting a DNA test and it turns out that it is his baby, then why would he want to punish the baby by not being in his life. It's the mother that lied not the baby, he or she is innocent in all of this. But yeah, if he hasn't gotten a DNA test yet, it could be because that baby's father is someone else.
For the story with the father giving the company to his brother: I've seen this stalling tactic way too often, it's something that sociopaths do. Deflect, ignore, project, until it is too late to fix, and then come crawling back all apologetic after nothing can be done. Honestly, the father is a POS. He acted like he cared but ONLY AFTER it was too late to fix. He basically punished his son due to his own failures as a father. So not only did he fail as a father with brother, he is now failing as a father with him to make up for it. Sounds like a total asshat and the company probably would have tanked years ago if not for brother.
My fiancé's cousin married a woman from Pakistan that had been in a forced marriage to a man they picked whom brought her here to the US with him. She was able to educate herself and leave him, at the cost of her family as they disowned her for divorcing her husband and because they can't read or write, have no electricity or internet or really any of that where she's from. Her only family now is her son and his father. It's heartbreaking because she's one of the kindest humans I have ever met and she has experienced so much heartbreak and hurt.
There were plenty of tells that scream brother is running the company into the ground. I can't say for certain, but I've seen this play out a few times.
@@drunklink350 I am a payroll manager for a large construction company in the states. I can honestly say that the finance team is as important as the trades within the company. After all we are the ones that make sure everyone is paid, but the most important are the trades people. I would have understood OPs father splitting the company but not how he did it.
PPD’s in-laws are dope. We see SO many people who are in crisis who get destroyed by the in-laws so it’s refreshing to see a pair that swooped in to help and ACTUALLY HELPED. 🥰 Well done! 🌻 ETA after update: 😳😳😳
Yeah the update was heartbreaking. I do believe she did have PPD but also had no desire to be a parent. She is awful and so is her dead beat boyfriend. I bet they won't be laughing and smiling when the thrill wears off and their kids grow up to hate them.
Heads up to any Americans living/visiting other countries: the embassy, or consolate can both get you a temporary passport, and will help you so long as you didn't break any laws. And if you did, and are sentenced and tried in another country, they check up often to make sure you are being treated well. And if an alert goes out telling you to get out of the country, run. There might not be time to pack, just go. Source: it was literally my dads job. He also helped connect hostage negotiations to the correct people.
I can never get over this story. The nerve of story 1s boyfriend! He has the nerve to blame her over this "prank"! Bruh.... PS I love your videos and reactions to these stories.
the godfather story: babies are also switched at birth sometimes. there was a story not that long ago where someone's five year old daughter was switched with another baby. DNA tests on both mother and father as a 'just in case' should be mandatory.
@@starbird3939 like,,, the take the dna test and still give the parents the wrong baby even though the test says “oh this child isn’t this couple’s?” then they can get sued for neglect. otherwise the family gets their baby and off they go.
Story 1: it's hilarious the he kept throwing at OP's face that he can't leave her now because of her relapse, but he didn't consider for a second that OP might be the one leaving him.
PPD in laws were absolutely amazing, they really stepped up to help their family out. I’m glad OPs wife was able to accept help from those around her and get there in the end. That update however, what T F?!?
The plumber put in the work and the years, only to be passed by for the older brother after doing the job competently. Leaving and starting your own business is 100% legit reaction to being screwed over.
For that last one, leave it up to Reddit to consider someone a simp for actually caring about their partner's mental health 😆 I'm glad OP and his fiance are doing great now
Can we just agree that what people call "pranks" aren't actual pranks. With pranks or tricks, you are supposed to be able to see the humor in it. These be "pranks" are cruel and not funny at all. They border on cruelty and a bit sociopathic in nature. They just don't care that they terrorized you. It's a messed up trend that needs to die. Learn what funny is, and then you can prank people
Story with the depressed wife. Meds don't work that fast. He needs to know that. Her really bad day was not at all unexpected, as it takes a while for meds to work, develop coping strategies and put those into place. She was reacting out of her love, fear and feeling supported, in part. This helped those feel good hormones.
It is possible that the antidepressants were actively making her depression worse. Some people are just incompatible with certain antidepressants. Suicidal thoughts and actions are listed as side effects for a reason. While the other meds wouldn't have kicked in yet, the other/s would be leaving her system. She still sucks though.
the trapped bf was a gem and a nice interlude after the sad one before that. i suggest you add in another like it when you can after the especially saddening one as often as you can.
The last boyfriend-turned-Fiancé is awesome. No one can read minds. We all have to talk to our partners in order to receive the support we need from them, and to be the support they need from us. And the dance party was just the epitome of sweetness and consideration. Yeah, he got laid, but that wasn't the reason he did it. He did it to make the GF feel loved, and seen, and heard. To make her feel beautiful. That is love, and it is beautiful. All the best wishes for their future together, and may they have many years of a happy and healthy marriage.
I had a bf who did this. He was on the way to mine and eould be 20 minutes. That turned into two hours,a switched off phone,his family telling me they couldn't get hold of him and then days later filing a missing person report on him. Turns out he was cheating and was at hers the whole time. I found this out after the police arrested him for violating a supposed restraining order in place by his ex,the very girl he was cheating on me with,after someone posted about it on Facebook and the police monitored it and told me he was safe but he didn't want me to be in contact with him because they found him in her place. I had the "you're an evil bitch and now I'm going to jail because you were too stupid to think I wanted to be with you" call off his phone when he finally got sent home. And men wonder why we don't trust them.
Story 2: going to school for accounting doesn't qualify you to run a business you don't understand. The absolute stupidity of the father to not split the business 50/50, and the utter hubris of the brother to not realize that he needs the operational expertise of OP.
Story 1: Oh, eff that guy. He figures out an area of vulnerability in your past and he punches you right in it, then calls YOU manipulative? Good God. 😠
Op's stepdad's abuse starting around her beginning puberty and he shames her for having "toys" and contraceptive....what a f*cking creep! And absolutely her mom's bs does not absolve her. I had an abusive childhood and some abusive relationships. I really didn't care so much but once I had kids...the cycle ends with me! Period. I will not put up with sh*t that I didn't like or even seems like my kids won't like. Mom should know better. The daughter is defensive of her mom, which I understand, but it makes it more inexcusable for the mom. The daughter can see it but mom can't? Nah. Stepdad is disgusting and the mom is horrible for settling with it.
Say's something when her brother's are taking her side! Most likely the most part being that they likely noticed his creepy behavior towards their sister before and of course, going through her things in HER APARTMENT when he was suppose to be there with mom giving the dog his meds, and walk him! It's clear he's a creepy, especially with that "raise" crap that raises a red flag! Mom is the type that REALLY disgust me! The mother willing to not only put up with a likely pedo, but is likely which makes this worse and makes me want to barf "jealous of her own daughter having her man's attention when she should have tossed the POS out and protect her daughter because she's pathetic and desperate for a man she'll take ANYONE!" Still remember a story where a man only got with a woman to get access to her SON (he was a homosexuel pedo) amd the mother no joke GOT MAD AT HER SON FOR "TEMPTING" HIM. No anger at him being a gay man that only "Got" with her to get to her son and lied about the relationship! No she actually believed her "son was the gay one and plagued her man with his gayness by proxy!" That was fucking pathetic and I heard he cut her out of his life once he came of age! Best part was pedobear ran off once his "target was no longer available" (thankfully the ass didn't move in with them till son was 17! He came around when he was 15 however so the son had to deal with his creepiness) once son hit 18 he got out of that shit show and now mom wants him back since pedobear left her! It was something I hear a decade back and has remained with me along with other creep stories (like one my uncle a pastor heard elsewhere about a pedo who raped his woman's daughter, and the woman BEAT her own daughter and hated her over the POS, why because in her words "it's hard to get a man now a days!" can't believe that mentality! Like seriously the POS already made clear with the rape that he never saw you as anything but a gateway to a "younger female" and that's your thoughts! Me at the time told my uncle that I hope that woman died miserable! He understood my feelings, but promoted "forgiveness" being a pastor and all! Took it as him not wanting me to boil in hatred for such individuals but that will never change for someone like me with a strong sense of justice! I despise injustices like this!)
@@paulman34340 Moms that ignore or even allow abuse happening to their children just to save themselves from loneliness ignite a burning rage in me probably even more than the actual abusers do. I'm a mom and that kind of behavior is so vile, I can't even wrap my head around it. I agree they deserve horrible lives and lonely deaths. I heard an interview with a convicted pedo that gave a "how to" of wooing the mom and getting in close with the family, target families where the dad isn't around much if at all, etc. Incredibly disturbing but I don't blame anyone for being tricked, I'm talking about moms that suspect or straight know and do nothing. Yes, boiling away in rage over it only hurts ourselves but when encountering one of these individuals it's ok to let it out lol
@@MorbidKat Had a great mom who raised me well! So bad parents and ungrateful (ACTUALLY ungrateful) kids who abuse their good parents really grinds my gears the most! But damn! Never knew the filth are giving themselves how to manipulate for dummies advice! I have to thank you for that Alpha (not be sarcastic this is GENINUE THANKS) as now knowing this has made me more aware of the world...and dropped my opinion of sentinent life by 1.0%! That's a new record LOL but seriously it's just vile, but hey when they do stuff like that! It becomes available for the rest of us to see and create counter strategies against this shit, or more red flags to put to notice!
Faking ones dearth on someone who has a history of self harm is no joking matter. Get rid of this clown. At the very least he does not care for you and thought it wise to risk your mental health or physical well being over his idea of a joke. DUMP HIM as of yesterday.
I can’t believe the Dad that gave the business to the brother just chose to be a shi**y father to both sons now. This is just cruel and heartbreaking. I know your new business will be successful and you have your in laws to step in and give you the love and support you should have had from your family. I’m so sorry you have to even go through this. Your Dad single handily destroyed his entire family. It is just heartbreaking all the way around.
Damn, that PPD story went from 100 to 0 and then up to 1000 1:08:37 “I wonder if she faked getting better to get everyone off her back” Makes me wonder about the possibility that she exaggerated her PPD issues (if she even really had them at all) in the first place so she could have an excuse to be neglectful of her kids and her marriage. Would kinda make sense (in a horrifying way) since she refused to take her meds and with the comments pointing out how long those specific meds r supposed to take to work and the suspicious aspect of her apparently being given a higher dosage right off the bat after not taking the lower dose ones at all. Maybe she also faked “getting better” until she decided to drop the act and abandon OP and the kids, pretty sure she was cheating with this guy the whole time. She very obviously has mental issues but def not related to PPD and or anxiety, she’s a sociopath or psychopath, not sure which one tho (maybe both). The fact that she was outright not feeding the kids and letting them soak in dirty diapers due to her “not being happy with their marriage” is a new level of extreme self-centeredness and she doesn’t deserve to have kids.
what kind of a fucking psychopath fakes his own death as a "prank"? anyway, a prank is only a prank if it's harmless and everyone, most importantly the pranked party, laughs at the end
That first story... That brought back a nasty flash back... Ex friend of my wife's now ex husband did the same thing to her, she was crying for her friends lose only to find out half a hour later he took his ex's phone and sent that to everyone she knew.... That was the reason why they divorced and why my wife is no longer friends with her (straw the broke the camel's back kinda deal)
How dare your mother and father make you the bad guy in this!!!!! Cut them off!!!! I’d contact them to tell them they’re not invited to your wedding or anywhere else in your life!!!!
I'd blame prank channels but back in the 90s my brother dated a girl who was so nuts she made a friend call him to say she's dead and her funeral would be in a few days. He was shocked. My mum told him there's no way they already have a date for the funeral if she died the night before it's obviously fake. Turned out she was right.
Paternity test story- OP NTA and Derek wasn't until the part - won't be a part of babies life even if it's his. Hopefully 1. it ISN'T his 2. Do a paternity test ANYWAY!!! She says she tested the other guy- he wasn't the dad so it must be Derek (🤣) . She has lied so much I wouldn't trust her, but t you NEED to get a DNA test . If you don't you know she is going to tell everyone you're the dad and you abandoned them. Say 5-7 years down the road and you will still be dealing with it. Its just better to find out. If she believed the baby was his she WOULD HAVE DONE THE DNA TEST. If she believed it was his the DNA would have proved her lie and she wouldn't have had to confess. Nicole is YTA
OP with the ticked off stepdad needs to stay away from him. He started acting like that because hes attracted to her and has been since she started developing. Hes uncomfortable with his feelings and is taking it out on her. Hearing that story sounded like hearing my own, except after my mom and stepdad split he messaged me trying to "be with me"
Story 1 I would ABSOLUTELY tell his mother. OP said they were close, and he used her phone to do it. He is showing a lot of dangerous signs and given she is living with her son, she really needs to know...
PPD story: I knew there was more to the story than just PPD. From they way he spoke about her KNOWING she had PPD and the fact that he went to Reddit of all places for advice, I would be willing to bet that he wasn’t very sympathetic. I think we are missing a lot of information. I would also not be surprised if she had PPD with the first child, never got help then had the second child and it just made her realize she didn’t want kids. PPD can ruin a person permanently. It’s not just about getting medicated and someone to help you with your kids. If your partner resents you, that is going to be the quickest way to end the relationship.
Oh my god.. that Is insane. That poor guy. Dude stuck by her through soo much. Would that other guy do that If she ever goes to that mental state again?
Dump that jerk now. You do not deserve this. This guy is a lying hypocrite that caused you to relapse yes you did this knowing what you were doing and I am glad you realized it and you can start over which is so wonderful. God luck to you OP.
story 1: if she is smart, she would run far far far away from him and never look back. Makes me question if the ex wasnt actually the manipulative one and it was him that has been the puppet master all along. If the same things keep happening over and over with different girls, but the common denominator is the guy, then the manipulative person is him.
Story One: Hello Trash Service? Yes, we need an immediate pick up. Yeah, the whole man. That is not a prank or a joke and that is gross as hell. Call his Mom immediately.
Story 1 leave him, get therapy and move far away. This man is toxic and probably needs therapy himself for his lack of trust and insecurities. Also pretending to be dead isn't a joke.
24 year old and his buds have a lot of growing up to do. If story is true that is. This is something my ex would have done at 16. He was a master of idiotic "jokes" and "pranks" that were usually neither. Like the last one he ever pulled on me at age 16 when he thought it would be hilarious to tell me there is a bottle of Jager on top of the fridge and to have some... Even while being very intoxicated I knew soon after the tiny swig passed my lips to spit it out and immediately rinse my mouth out at the sink I was standing at and then going for the dish soap because it was a bottle filled with his hick cousins tobacco spit. He quickly realized it was dumb AF and to leave his bs like that to do to buddies and not me! Rr4
In story 1 a reason that most likely led to self harm is disassociating due to the extreme emotional distress due to the actions of the boyfriend a majority of people don’t self harm to manipulate someone Btw I’m a prior self harmer so I unfortunately have experience in this department
Story 1 Pretending that you died is not a prank! I think OP should leave him who wants to be with a person who thinks that pretending to be dead is a "harmless prank". Story 2 People don't have a clue about how dangerous it is for any Indian girl to refuse to be married to a person their father has picked. I am in the UK and a few years ago the body of a teenage Indian girl was found near the road in an isolated area. It was generally believed that she was a victim of "honour killing". If this happens in the UK what chance does a young girl in Pakistan stand against a culture where women are regarded as lower than dogs and are regarded simply as chattels to do the bidding of her father/brother/ uncle or husband!
Story 1: Someday she will realize that his old girlfriend was NOT manipulative either! That was just another lie to manipulate HER into being overly scared of being accused of the same behavior because if He says “YOU are being manipulative” then SHE KNOWS he will break up. It keeps a person in constant fear.
YES! OPs spouse is like ssssooooo many former military falsely claiming ptsd without seeing any combat. Maybe they aren't wounded warriors just drug addicted abusers?
Story 1 What a awful human being. This reminds me of the story on AskAManager where the POS letter writer ghosted his partner by pretending to die… only years later realize he had to work with her. So he ghosted his job and his new girlfriend.
Military Medical Veterans will often have "secondary" PTSD. It is PTSD that usually happens to first responders. Military Medical don't normally see combat, but they do see the "consequences of war" that would probably get the comment removed and me banned from RUclips. Imagine the worst thing that you can imagine, then multiply it by 10. If you ever seen the TV show M.A.S.H., think about Maj. Frank Burns. He would be a (subdued) textbook example.
about the god father story I agree that DNA test should be done at the hospital because of the issues with accidental baby swapping. I want to know I'm taking my baby home
You're not going to know that, though. Who's to say the DNA results don't get accidentally swapped? If it can happen with something like the actual flesh and blood child, then why would the DNA samples and/or results of those samples be any different?
Oh, I kept my children with me the whole hospital stay after delivery. If he HAD to go to Nsy, husband left with/came back with, no arguments allowed. I even offered to collect vitals to save them the trouble. I had heard enough horror stories to make me very protective of them.
@@tinamauldin6444 when my MIL was in the hospital with my hubby he stayed in the nursery. A nurse brought "him" in to her for a feeding. My MIL looked at him and told the nurse that, that was not her baby! And where was her baby! All of a sudden this other nurse rolled in this other baby singing hello Mama baby is hungry after passing his hearing test. She looks up and was like what!! Why did you (the 1st nurse) bring in that other baby without checking the wristbands. So whenever we were in the hospital his job after I had the baby. Was to follow THAT baby so we brought home the baby that we came in with. Our 3rd baby had to go to the NICU for a few hours and he stayed with him the whole time. All 3 babies have stayed in the room with me. Whenever a nurse comes in to check on either one they check both our hospital tags. Even if they aren't planning on taking the baby out for any tests.
Dead prank story: I did a similar prank on my old boss on the way to work. April 1st. I texted him about 30 seconds before I got into the store saying something like "Name can't come in today because he was injured on the way to work while riding his bike". I then entered the store I worked in with him in shock. We had a laugh about it. I can't imagine holding that tension for more than a minute though
I think paternity testing at birth is great as long as men have to give DNA when they register with selective service at 18 so that child will know exactly who father is and both parents are legally equally known and made to be responsible
The story with the sex addictive, abusive husband- if she can purchase a firearm, do it! Restraining orders are great, but police are under no legal obligation to protect anyone. If they arrive late, she’s screwed. All they’ll say is, “ oh well, sorry”.
I believe that ops boyfriend is setting it up so he can constantly tell her he doesn't want to be with her but he can't leave her because she can't be trusted. So he can treat her like shit and she'll feel lucky
The wife everyone keeps saying is depressed, I so totally sympathize with her husband. I spent years in a relationship with a depressed man who refused to get help, refused to take steps to get better, and refused all my attempts to help him get outside, make friends, get a job, and get a therapist. In a moment of frustration, I told him "you just want to be depressed." I cried and apologized when he yelled at me for saying that, but looking back, I realize I was right. He enjoyed being holed up in a dark room, immersed in video games for the entire day and smoking pot. Then, when I got home, he conplained about politics, my friends, my family, his family, and anything else you can imagine. He was the perpetual victim and he seemed to like that. Not having something to complain about, not having drama was foreign to him. He always found a problem to create when things were going well. After we broke up, I heard through the grapevine he was diagnosed borderline pd. I guess that explains his aversion to normalcy and the constant drama.
Red velvet is racist! 😂😂😂😂 Someone made a comment at a family event that something stupid was racist. We laughed so hard & kept “pointing” out other racist things. Baseball was racist because it made people hit a white ball. Dumb things like that. The person who made the comment never heard the end of it. Jokes still continue years later about things being “racist”
Story 1, I wonder if his ex actually did that. He's dating someone with a history of self harm, and harassed her about it until she broke. He'll definitely tell others op did what he said his ex did and it was all to manipulate him.
PPD ex should be sued for child support. How dare she bring children into this world and abandon them like that? OP better go after her for what his children are owed. Poor guy.
Gender reveal: they are disappointed they didn’t have the surprise feeling they dreamt about and are projected that onto her. Making a cake about race as opposed to the gender at a gender reveal wouldn’t even being logical for a racist person. It’s really hard to have a once in a lifetime moments ruined and the emotions can be hard to process. I understand how hard it is to get red velvet RED RED. It was never more important to achieve that than now. Still, NTA. Amy has to work through her own stuff.
once i had nothing to write with except a sharpie and my arm, but when i started writing she shouted, “no! don’t do that, it’s a PERMANENT marker!” …. Ah. I explained that it wasn’t the same as a tattoo, and why. I tried so hard not to laugh. Cake OP is very believable.
story 1: nta but this is one reason i stayed in a relationship with my ex for so long. he was a recovering self harmer and i didn't want him to hurt himself. since hes been talking about hurting himself before i ended things i just couldn't take it. but nta on ops side. that 'prank' wasn't a damn prank. would you do that to your mom? would you make your own family weep in sorrow ? then why do it to someone who loves you and has a self harming past? 14:40 i remember reading about a girl who liked a white boy so her mom took her back to their home land to marry her off to a much older guy. she was a teen and just discovering boys. in the end she got help out of that situation because she still had her phone. she was messaging back and forth with the guy she liked. he found a way to contact the embasy and got her out of there. as far as i know she was still with him
For the stepdad rummaging through OP's stuff story. What I grasped onto is the abuse started AFTER puberty and then what he found that made him lose it was sexual in nature. Just finished listening to the comments. Don't know that's what grasped me.
Story 1: 100 bucks he's projecting and his ex wasn't the problem, it was him all along. OP got out of an abusive relationship.
Yeah, I was wondering if the guy even HAD an ex like that, after OP told the whole story.
@@GrumpyOldFart2 that is exactly what I was wondering after hearing this. I really don't think there was an ex and 110% believe it's *him* that is the problem. No one in their right mind would pull something like this in the first place, let alone gaslight a person about their reaction to thinking their partner is dead. OP needs to just run and never look back!
Tbf I've heard that those who've been abused or who have been around abuse don't recognize when they're being abusive or are doing exactly the stuff their abusers did to them. Like it's been so normalized type deal. Doesn't excuse it but it's a reason it could happen.
@@kiwijx377 I'd probably call it the Stockholm effect. Think like the Stockholm syndrome but here the abused becomes the abuser to someone else.
My guess is he’s pulled this death fake out to “get out of trouble” before and after the ex melted down he got mad and labeled her crazy, abusive and manipulative. Which is in itself crazy, abusive and manipulative. So I think you’re spot on.
She "punished" him after he supposedly died? Like wtf how did he even manage to form this thoughts? Geee, she should leave him immediately.
OP 1 needs to RUN. Her bf is a legit psycho. His ex wasn't manipulative, HE is. Funny how toxic people always insist their exes are terrible, every last one.
People that have "only absolutely crazy" exes are such a red flag
Yeah and most like to say everything f'd they do was "just a joke". Get a sense of humor amirite?
He probably drove his ex to REAL self harm thoughts and never took her seriously. If his treatment of op is anything to go off of....
My classmate in uni had 5 crazy exes. In those cases I really want to talk to them and get their pov
Agree 100%
He faked his death and then acted like you were in the wrong? When he KNOWS you have a history of self harm. He is disgusting and I would definitely get rid! Trust your gut ❤
This is so heartless. This man is sick to pull this prank on his GF. He needs intensive therapy, rather than the OP. This is a level of callousness that no one should display toward the person they claim to love. OP should leave before he completely messes her up. This is a level of sociopathic that I cannot fathom.
True. "Oh, but I wanna drive drunk though. Boohoo.
Wait, let me think.
If I make her even MORE sad, then she wont be sad about me driving drunk anymore. Wow. That's brilliant. I am a genius. Time to go party!"
Utterly devoid of empathy.
That's why it's a red flag imo if anyone tells me their ex was crazy/controlling.
Sure, there absolutely are those exes who are, but there are almost as much people who say that so their crazy/controlling behavior is thought of a result of their prior relationship and put aside.
It makes me wonder if his previous girlfriend was actually manipative or if he's projecting.
Hold on! Just because the girl SAID she got a DNA test and the other guy wasn't the father does not mean that his friend IS the father! The friend STILL needs the DNA test! She could have been sleeping with more than just those two and she could be lying still!
Exactly what I was going to say. Always get a DNA test. They really should be mandatory. So much nonsense and misery could be avoided. Too many kids have no clue about their own family medical history. Not to mention possible involuntary incest. Too many guys out there impregnating too many hos and nobody knows who is closely related to who.🙄
Yeah, bet she didn't get a DNA test done with anyone. She's a liar, remember?
@@nanrobbins2916 - Right! 100% right! She IS a liar and she could have not gotten a DNA test at all!
If she had, why did she freak? If she knew he was the father, she just dobbed herself in... I just...
True, but if he ends up getting a DNA test and it turns out that it is his baby, then why would he want to punish the baby by not being in his life. It's the mother that lied not the baby, he or she is innocent in all of this. But yeah, if he hasn't gotten a DNA test yet, it could be because that baby's father is someone else.
For the story with the father giving the company to his brother: I've seen this stalling tactic way too often, it's something that sociopaths do. Deflect, ignore, project, until it is too late to fix, and then come crawling back all apologetic after nothing can be done. Honestly, the father is a POS. He acted like he cared but ONLY AFTER it was too late to fix. He basically punished his son due to his own failures as a father. So not only did he fail as a father with brother, he is now failing as a father with him to make up for it. Sounds like a total asshat and the company probably would have tanked years ago if not for brother.
My fiancé's cousin married a woman from Pakistan that had been in a forced marriage to a man they picked whom brought her here to the US with him. She was able to educate herself and leave him, at the cost of her family as they disowned her for divorcing her husband and because they can't read or write, have no electricity or internet or really any of that where she's from. Her only family now is her son and his father.
It's heartbreaking because she's one of the kindest humans I have ever met and she has experienced so much heartbreak and hurt.
I feel like the plumber business story makes the rounds a lot. Each time I hear it I'm hoping it's with another update
There were plenty of tells that scream brother is running the company into the ground. I can't say for certain, but I've seen this play out a few times.
@@drunklink350 I am a payroll manager for a large construction company in the states. I can honestly say that the finance team is as important as the trades within the company. After all we are the ones that make sure everyone is paid, but the most important are the trades people. I would have understood OPs father splitting the company but not how he did it.
Those adoptive parents are horrible. The mother thought he would attack his sisters? Poor John.
PPD’s in-laws are dope. We see SO many people who are in crisis who get destroyed by the in-laws so it’s refreshing to see a pair that swooped in to help and ACTUALLY HELPED. 🥰 Well done! 🌻
ETA after update: 😳😳😳
Yeah the update was heartbreaking. I do believe she did have PPD but also had no desire to be a parent. She is awful and so is her dead beat boyfriend. I bet they won't be laughing and smiling when the thrill wears off and their kids grow up to hate them.
Heads up to any Americans living/visiting other countries: the embassy, or consolate can both get you a temporary passport, and will help you so long as you didn't break any laws. And if you did, and are sentenced and tried in another country, they check up often to make sure you are being treated well. And if an alert goes out telling you to get out of the country, run. There might not be time to pack, just go.
Source: it was literally my dads job. He also helped connect hostage negotiations to the correct people.
Don't know you, but thank you for the info!
I can never get over this story. The nerve of story 1s boyfriend! He has the nerve to blame her over this "prank"! Bruh....
PS I love your videos and reactions to these stories.
the godfather story: babies are also switched at birth sometimes. there was a story not that long ago where someone's five year old daughter was switched with another baby. DNA tests on both mother and father as a 'just in case' should be mandatory.
I sorta agree… but if it happens in the hospital and the hospitals switch the babies AFTER the test, what will happen then?
@@starbird3939 like,,, the take the dna test and still give the parents the wrong baby even though the test says “oh this child isn’t this couple’s?”
then they can get sued for neglect.
otherwise the family gets their baby and off they go.
Story 1: it's hilarious the he kept throwing at OP's face that he can't leave her now because of her relapse, but he didn't consider for a second that OP might be the one leaving him.
Unless that was the plan. Be so sh#tty that your gf breaks up with u
@@srkh8966 Makes you wonder whether his ex was really manipulative or he just has a habit of screwing with the mental health of vulnerable people.
This guy that faked his death completely deserves being dumped. That is exactly what she should do. He's horribly manipulative.
PPD in laws were absolutely amazing, they really stepped up to help their family out. I’m glad OPs wife was able to accept help from those around her and get there in the end.
That update however, what T F?!?
The plumber put in the work and the years, only to be passed by for the older brother after doing the job competently. Leaving and starting your own business is 100% legit reaction to being screwed over.
The “outraged” stepfather is an invasive creeper. Avoid!
For that last one, leave it up to Reddit to consider someone a simp for actually caring about their partner's mental health 😆 I'm glad OP and his fiance are doing great now
Can we just agree that what people call "pranks" aren't actual pranks. With pranks or tricks, you are supposed to be able to see the humor in it.
These be "pranks" are cruel and not funny at all. They border on cruelty and a bit sociopathic in nature. They just don't care that they terrorized you. It's a messed up trend that needs to die.
Learn what funny is, and then you can prank people
It's a test, it's playing with people's emotions to see what they do. Gross
Story with the depressed wife. Meds don't work that fast. He needs to know that. Her really bad day was not at all unexpected, as it takes a while for meds to work, develop coping strategies and put those into place. She was reacting out of her love, fear and feeling supported, in part. This helped those feel good hormones.
My worry is that everything that was done was done by his parents, husband did nothing more than wring his hands.
@@trippinggauntlet4520 He got his family to help him support his wife at the times he couldn't (like at work). This just sounds nitpicky
That bitch was just a horrible person. I hope he got a DNA test done for those kids. Need to make sure since he found out his wife is a hoe
It is possible that the antidepressants were actively making her depression worse. Some people are just incompatible with certain antidepressants. Suicidal thoughts and actions are listed as side effects for a reason. While the other meds wouldn't have kicked in yet, the other/s would be leaving her system.
She still sucks though.
the trapped bf was a gem and a nice interlude after the sad one before that. i suggest you add in another like it when you can after the especially saddening one as often as you can.
You have no idea how happy the last post made me. This guy’s a gem and I hope he and her keep up the great work!
The last boyfriend-turned-Fiancé is awesome. No one can read minds. We all have to talk to our partners in order to receive the support we need from them, and to be the support they need from us. And the dance party was just the epitome of sweetness and consideration. Yeah, he got laid, but that wasn't the reason he did it. He did it to make the GF feel loved, and seen, and heard. To make her feel beautiful. That is love, and it is beautiful. All the best wishes for their future together, and may they have many years of a happy and healthy marriage.
I had a bf who did this. He was on the way to mine and eould be 20 minutes. That turned into two hours,a switched off phone,his family telling me they couldn't get hold of him and then days later filing a missing person report on him.
Turns out he was cheating and was at hers the whole time. I found this out after the police arrested him for violating a supposed restraining order in place by his ex,the very girl he was cheating on me with,after someone posted about it on Facebook and the police monitored it and told me he was safe but he didn't want me to be in contact with him because they found him in her place.
I had the "you're an evil bitch and now I'm going to jail because you were too stupid to think I wanted to be with you" call off his phone when he finally got sent home.
And men wonder why we don't trust them.
Dad didn't think ahead of " My son has returned home". Only to lose the other son.😢
Story 2: going to school for accounting doesn't qualify you to run a business you don't understand. The absolute stupidity of the father to not split the business 50/50, and the utter hubris of the brother to not realize that he needs the operational expertise of OP.
how is her claiming she had a test that he's never seen different than her claiming that she never slept with someone else?
So, if Derek is the father……why would she pull that stunt at the hospital????? She should have dragged him to the hospital!!!!!
Wow. Leave him immediately. This isn’t a joke, it was very cruel. Anyone who would do this then punish you for the response is sick.
Story 1: Oh, eff that guy. He figures out an area of vulnerability in your past and he punches you right in it, then calls YOU manipulative? Good God. 😠
Also, I love that she taught the guy’s mom how to keep him out of her phone. 😁
Op's stepdad's abuse starting around her beginning puberty and he shames her for having "toys" and contraceptive....what a f*cking creep! And absolutely her mom's bs does not absolve her. I had an abusive childhood and some abusive relationships. I really didn't care so much but once I had kids...the cycle ends with me! Period. I will not put up with sh*t that I didn't like or even seems like my kids won't like. Mom should know better. The daughter is defensive of her mom, which I understand, but it makes it more inexcusable for the mom. The daughter can see it but mom can't? Nah. Stepdad is disgusting and the mom is horrible for settling with it.
Say's something when her brother's are taking her side! Most likely the most part being that they likely noticed his creepy behavior towards their sister before and of course, going through her things in HER APARTMENT when he was suppose to be there with mom giving the dog his meds, and walk him! It's clear he's a creepy, especially with that "raise" crap that raises a red flag! Mom is the type that REALLY disgust me! The mother willing to not only put up with a likely pedo, but is likely which makes this worse and makes me want to barf "jealous of her own daughter having her man's attention when she should have tossed the POS out and protect her daughter because she's pathetic and desperate for a man she'll take ANYONE!" Still remember a story where a man only got with a woman to get access to her SON (he was a homosexuel pedo) amd the mother no joke GOT MAD AT HER SON FOR "TEMPTING" HIM. No anger at him being a gay man that only "Got" with her to get to her son and lied about the relationship! No she actually believed her "son was the gay one and plagued her man with his gayness by proxy!" That was fucking pathetic and I heard he cut her out of his life once he came of age! Best part was pedobear ran off once his "target was no longer available" (thankfully the ass didn't move in with them till son was 17! He came around when he was 15 however so the son had to deal with his creepiness) once son hit 18 he got out of that shit show and now mom wants him back since pedobear left her! It was something I hear a decade back and has remained with me along with other creep stories (like one my uncle a pastor heard elsewhere about a pedo who raped his woman's daughter, and the woman BEAT her own daughter and hated her over the POS, why because in her words "it's hard to get a man now a days!" can't believe that mentality! Like seriously the POS already made clear with the rape that he never saw you as anything but a gateway to a "younger female" and that's your thoughts! Me at the time told my uncle that I hope that woman died miserable! He understood my feelings, but promoted "forgiveness" being a pastor and all! Took it as him not wanting me to boil in hatred for such individuals but that will never change for someone like me with a strong sense of justice! I despise injustices like this!)
@@paulman34340 Moms that ignore or even allow abuse happening to their children just to save themselves from loneliness ignite a burning rage in me probably even more than the actual abusers do. I'm a mom and that kind of behavior is so vile, I can't even wrap my head around it. I agree they deserve horrible lives and lonely deaths. I heard an interview with a convicted pedo that gave a "how to" of wooing the mom and getting in close with the family, target families where the dad isn't around much if at all, etc. Incredibly disturbing but I don't blame anyone for being tricked, I'm talking about moms that suspect or straight know and do nothing. Yes, boiling away in rage over it only hurts ourselves but when encountering one of these individuals it's ok to let it out lol
@@MorbidKat Had a great mom who raised me well! So bad parents and ungrateful (ACTUALLY ungrateful) kids who abuse their good parents really grinds my gears the most!
But damn! Never knew the filth are giving themselves how to manipulate for dummies advice! I have to thank you for that Alpha (not be sarcastic this is GENINUE THANKS) as now knowing this has made me more aware of the world...and dropped my opinion of sentinent life by 1.0%! That's a new record LOL but seriously it's just vile, but hey when they do stuff like that! It becomes available for the rest of us to see and create counter strategies against this shit, or more red flags to put to notice!
you didn't just destroy the family, dad. you destroyed the business too.
Faking ones dearth on someone who has a history of self harm is no joking matter. Get rid of this clown. At the very least he does not care for you and thought it wise to risk your mental health or physical well being over his idea of a joke. DUMP HIM as of yesterday.
I can’t believe the Dad that gave the business to the brother just chose to be a shi**y father to both sons now. This is just cruel and heartbreaking. I know your new business will be successful and you have your in laws to step in and give you the love and support you should have had from your family. I’m so sorry you have to even go through this. Your Dad single handily destroyed his entire family. It is just heartbreaking all the way around.
His parents sound great! I hope he appreciates them.
Gather evidence, bring it to an attorney and have him pay through the nose!!!!!!
Oooooooh my god the BF in Story 1 is one huge *Record Scratch* Moment
I'm glad it wasn't just in My head! Lol
Damn, that PPD story went from 100 to 0 and then up to 1000
1:08:37 “I wonder if she faked getting better to get everyone off her back”
Makes me wonder about the possibility that she exaggerated her PPD issues (if she even really had them at all) in the first place so she could have an excuse to be neglectful of her kids and her marriage. Would kinda make sense (in a horrifying way) since she refused to take her meds and with the comments pointing out how long those specific meds r supposed to take to work and the suspicious aspect of her apparently being given a higher dosage right off the bat after not taking the lower dose ones at all. Maybe she also faked “getting better” until she decided to drop the act and abandon OP and the kids, pretty sure she was cheating with this guy the whole time. She very obviously has mental issues but def not related to PPD and or anxiety, she’s a sociopath or psychopath, not sure which one tho (maybe both). The fact that she was outright not feeding the kids and letting them soak in dirty diapers due to her “not being happy with their marriage” is a new level of extreme self-centeredness and she doesn’t deserve to have kids.
what kind of a fucking psychopath fakes his own death as a "prank"?
anyway, a prank is only a prank if it's harmless and everyone, most importantly the pranked party, laughs at the end
Story 1. Well at least he didn't have to worry about how to leave her because she dumped his stinking hide.
I bet he didn't see that coming
That first story... That brought back a nasty flash back... Ex friend of my wife's now ex husband did the same thing to her, she was crying for her friends lose only to find out half a hour later he took his ex's phone and sent that to everyone she knew.... That was the reason why they divorced and why my wife is no longer friends with her (straw the broke the camel's back kinda deal)
if bro needs OP, he should have kept him as an exec, and not demoted him to plain old worker.
How dare your mother and father make you the bad guy in this!!!!! Cut them off!!!! I’d contact them to tell them they’re not invited to your wedding or anywhere else in your life!!!!
I'd blame prank channels but back in the 90s my brother dated a girl who was so nuts she made a friend call him to say she's dead and her funeral would be in a few days.
He was shocked. My mum told him there's no way they already have a date for the funeral if she died the night before it's obviously fake. Turned out she was right.
Paternity test story- OP NTA and Derek wasn't until the part - won't be a part of babies life even if it's his. Hopefully 1. it ISN'T his 2. Do a paternity test ANYWAY!!! She says she tested the other guy- he wasn't the dad so it must be Derek (🤣) . She has lied so much I wouldn't trust her, but t you NEED to get a DNA test . If you don't you know she is going to tell everyone you're the dad and you abandoned them. Say 5-7 years down the road and you will still be dealing with it. Its just better to find out. If she believed the baby was his she WOULD HAVE DONE THE DNA TEST. If she believed it was his the DNA would have proved her lie and she wouldn't have had to confess. Nicole is YTA
Anyone who would lie about dying is psychotic. OP should run from that relationship
OP with the ticked off stepdad needs to stay away from him. He started acting like that because hes attracted to her and has been since she started developing. Hes uncomfortable with his feelings and is taking it out on her. Hearing that story sounded like hearing my own, except after my mom and stepdad split he messaged me trying to "be with me"
The Islamabad story was amazing, those commenters are angels.
Oh my God thank you for reminding me that Harry Potter puppet pals exist after this video I'm going to go watch it LOL
Story 1 I would ABSOLUTELY tell his mother. OP said they were close, and he used her phone to do it. He is showing a lot of dangerous signs and given she is living with her son, she really needs to know...
PPD story: I knew there was more to the story than just PPD. From they way he spoke about her KNOWING she had PPD and the fact that he went to Reddit of all places for advice, I would be willing to bet that he wasn’t very sympathetic. I think we are missing a lot of information. I would also not be surprised if she had PPD with the first child, never got help then had the second child and it just made her realize she didn’t want kids. PPD can ruin a person permanently. It’s not just about getting medicated and someone to help you with your kids. If your partner resents you, that is going to be the quickest way to end the relationship.
Oh my god.. that Is insane. That poor guy. Dude stuck by her through soo much. Would that other guy do that If she ever goes to that mental state again?
Dump that jerk now. You do not deserve this. This guy is a lying hypocrite that caused you to relapse yes you did this knowing what you were doing and I am glad you realized it and you can start over which is so wonderful. God luck to you OP.
Narc alert aisle 1. Have a natter with the ex girl friend. He didn't come home because he was cheating.
Story 1 That is really messed up. Her ex is very immature and sick in the head. He sees nothing wrong with what he did.
I am so glad he dumped him.
story 1: if she is smart, she would run far far far away from him and never look back. Makes me question if the ex wasnt actually the manipulative one and it was him that has been the puppet master all along. If the same things keep happening over and over with different girls, but the common denominator is the guy, then the manipulative person is him.
Story 1: Something tells me his ex wasn’t actually that bad and he DROVE her to SH.
Story One: Hello Trash Service? Yes, we need an immediate pick up. Yeah, the whole man.
That is not a prank or a joke and that is gross as hell. Call his Mom immediately.
Story 1 leave him, get therapy and move far away. This man is toxic and probably needs therapy himself for his lack of trust and insecurities. Also pretending to be dead isn't a joke.
24 year old and his buds have a lot of growing up to do. If story is true that is. This is something my ex would have done at 16. He was a master of idiotic "jokes" and "pranks" that were usually neither. Like the last one he ever pulled on me at age 16 when he thought it would be hilarious to tell me there is a bottle of Jager on top of the fridge and to have some... Even while being very intoxicated I knew soon after the tiny swig passed my lips to spit it out and immediately rinse my mouth out at the sink I was standing at and then going for the dish soap because it was a bottle filled with his hick cousins tobacco spit. He quickly realized it was dumb AF and to leave his bs like that to do to buddies and not me! Rr4
In story 1 a reason that most likely led to self harm is disassociating due to the extreme emotional distress due to the actions of the boyfriend a majority of people don’t self harm to manipulate someone
Btw I’m a prior self harmer so I unfortunately have experience in this department
Story 1 Pretending that you died is not a prank! I think OP should leave him who wants to be with a person who thinks that pretending to be dead is a "harmless prank".
Story 2 People don't have a clue about how dangerous it is for any Indian girl to refuse to be married to a person their father has picked. I am in the UK and a few years ago the body of a teenage Indian girl was found near the road in an isolated area. It was generally believed that she was a victim of "honour killing". If this happens in the UK what chance does a young girl in Pakistan stand against a culture where women are regarded as lower than dogs and are regarded simply as chattels to do the bidding of her father/brother/ uncle or husband!
is she dating jaystation? lol.
Story 1: Someday she will realize that his old girlfriend was NOT manipulative either! That was just another lie to manipulate HER into being overly scared of being accused of the same behavior because if He says “YOU are being manipulative” then SHE KNOWS he will break up. It keeps a person in constant fear.
YES! OPs spouse is like ssssooooo many former military falsely claiming ptsd without seeing any combat. Maybe they aren't wounded warriors just drug addicted abusers?
A man can't even fake his own death without getting nagged at jeez.
I know right?
Right? Can't die in peace😂
Story 1
What a awful human being.
This reminds me of the story on AskAManager where the POS letter writer ghosted his partner by pretending to die… only years later realize he had to work with her. So he ghosted his job and his new girlfriend.
Military Medical Veterans will often have "secondary" PTSD. It is PTSD that usually happens to first responders.
Military Medical don't normally see combat, but they do see the "consequences of war" that would probably get the comment removed and me banned from RUclips.
Imagine the worst thing that you can imagine, then multiply it by 10.
If you ever seen the TV show M.A.S.H., think about Maj. Frank Burns. He would be a (subdued) textbook example.
I’d dump a partner for drunk driving. LET ALONE lying about their DEATH
about the god father story
I agree that DNA test should be done at the hospital because of the issues with accidental baby swapping.
I want to know I'm taking my baby home
You're not going to know that, though. Who's to say the DNA results don't get accidentally swapped? If it can happen with something like the actual flesh and blood child, then why would the DNA samples and/or results of those samples be any different?
Oh, I kept my children with me the whole hospital stay after delivery. If he HAD to go to Nsy, husband left with/came back with, no arguments allowed. I even offered to collect vitals to save them the trouble. I had heard enough horror stories to make me very protective of them.
@@tinamauldin6444 when my MIL was in the hospital with my hubby he stayed in the nursery. A nurse brought "him" in to her for a feeding. My MIL looked at him and told the nurse that, that was not her baby! And where was her baby! All of a sudden this other nurse rolled in this other baby singing hello Mama baby is hungry after passing his hearing test. She looks up and was like what!! Why did you (the 1st nurse) bring in that other baby without checking the wristbands. So whenever we were in the hospital his job after I had the baby. Was to follow THAT baby so we brought home the baby that we came in with. Our 3rd baby had to go to the NICU for a few hours and he stayed with him the whole time. All 3 babies have stayed in the room with me. Whenever a nurse comes in to check on either one they check both our hospital tags. Even if they aren't planning on taking the baby out for any tests.
Dead prank story: I did a similar prank on my old boss on the way to work. April 1st. I texted him about 30 seconds before I got into the store saying something like "Name can't come in today because he was injured on the way to work while riding his bike". I then entered the store I worked in with him in shock.
We had a laugh about it. I can't imagine holding that tension for more than a minute though
I think paternity testing at birth is great as long as men have to give DNA when they register with selective service at 18 so that child will know exactly who father is and both parents are legally equally known and made to be responsible
I would start a question whether or not he was a manipulative one in his last relation
I'm willing to bet the dad knew the guy was upstairs and was just waiting to see if he would try to escape lol
Just gonna say, that having sex 2-3 times a day can tire out a lot of people. At some point it is no longer enjoyable, it's become a chore.
The story with the sex addictive, abusive husband- if she can purchase a firearm, do it! Restraining orders are great, but police are under no legal obligation to protect anyone. If they arrive late, she’s screwed. All they’ll say is, “ oh well, sorry”.
I've heard this story before, I wish op would give a recent update. Bet his father's business closed
Story 1. The boyfriend plays games and blames others for playing games. He drinks and drives. Dump him!
I believe that ops boyfriend is setting it up so he can constantly tell her he doesn't want to be with her but he can't leave her because she can't be trusted. So he can treat her like shit and she'll feel lucky
OP's boyfriend was excessively cruel. Faking his death is NOT a "prank", especially with her suicidal history. Glad OP dumped him.
Surely, as an accountant, brother can see the value of 100% of a failing business is less than 50% of a successful one. 😂
The wife everyone keeps saying is depressed, I so totally sympathize with her husband. I spent years in a relationship with a depressed man who refused to get help, refused to take steps to get better, and refused all my attempts to help him get outside, make friends, get a job, and get a therapist.
In a moment of frustration, I told him "you just want to be depressed." I cried and apologized when he yelled at me for saying that, but looking back, I realize I was right. He enjoyed being holed up in a dark room, immersed in video games for the entire day and smoking pot. Then, when I got home, he conplained about politics, my friends, my family, his family, and anything else you can imagine.
He was the perpetual victim and he seemed to like that. Not having something to complain about, not having drama was foreign to him.
He always found a problem to create when things were going well. After we broke up, I heard through the grapevine he was diagnosed borderline pd. I guess that explains his aversion to normalcy and the constant drama.
How is she punishing someone who's dead
Red velvet is racist!
😂😂😂😂
Someone made a comment at a family event that something stupid was racist.
We laughed so hard & kept “pointing” out other racist things.
Baseball was racist because it made people hit a white ball.
Dumb things like that.
The person who made the comment never heard the end of it. Jokes still continue years later about things being “racist”
Will forever baffle me how many people think one has to of been a combat war Veteran to have PTSD. Insane. 🤦🏼♀️
Story 1, I wonder if his ex actually did that. He's dating someone with a history of self harm, and harassed her about it until she broke. He'll definitely tell others op did what he said his ex did and it was all to manipulate him.
I think he gets a kick of torturing his girlfriends. He wants you to self harm. It makes him feel great and powerful. He is an abuser.
First op what your boyfriend did was extremely cruel. Get dude out of your life because you don't need that.
PPD ex should be sued for child support. How dare she bring children into this world and abandon them like that? OP better go after her for what his children are owed. Poor guy.
Gender reveal: they are disappointed they didn’t have the surprise feeling they dreamt about and are projected that onto her. Making a cake about race as opposed to the gender at a gender reveal wouldn’t even being logical for a racist person.

story 1: nta but this is one reason i stayed in a relationship with my ex for so long. he was a recovering self harmer and i didn't want him to hurt himself. since hes been talking about hurting himself before i ended things i just couldn't take it.
but nta on ops side. that 'prank' wasn't a damn prank. would you do that to your mom? would you make your own family weep in sorrow ? then why do it to someone who loves you and has a self harming past?
14:40 i remember reading about a girl who liked a white boy so her mom took her back to their home land to marry her off to a much older guy. she was a teen and just discovering boys.
in the end she got help out of that situation because she still had her phone. she was messaging back and forth with the guy she liked. he found a way to contact the embasy and got her out of there. as far as i know she was still with him
Dance: the vertical expression of a horizontal act.. 🙃
For the stepdad rummaging through OP's stuff story. What I grasped onto is the abuse started AFTER puberty and then what he found that made him lose it was sexual in nature. Just finished listening to the comments. Don't know that's what grasped me.
