YOU GUYS, former L&D nurse here - a dad asked the doc to put in an “extra stitch” and the doctor came back with “sure drop your pants & let me see how small I need to make it”. He shut right up 😇
Story 4 Update (I saw this on multiple channels earlier today): “We've been together for 10 years, but he's choosing to end all of that because of how I reacted to his ex-wife's death. They were "friends" when we met, and his claim was that they'd dated and gotten married while they were "young and dumb" before realizing they worked better as friends than as a couple. He told me that if I wanted a relationship with him, I needed to accept she'd always be part of his life. He'd do things like go to geek movies with her and sometimes her husband, they'd do their tabletop gaming, all of which I found boring. He and I had a mostly happy marriage, I thought, but I had to deal with her presence and pretending she and her husband were friends. I hated her, and when she died I was relieved. I didn't want him going to his funeral, saying now that she was out of his life he was done with her. I was called cold and callous for wanting to put my foot down. Yes, he went to the funeral, which I was very uncomfortable with. I asked him not to go again, and he just gave me this cold, expressionless stare. She was cremated and my husband was given a little bit of her ashes in a small urn the size of a pill bottle. I told him it was creepy to have them, and he flipped me the bird. The past month-plus of my life has been a nightmare because of her dying. My husband has barely talked to me, and I've received texts from nearly all our friends and family calling me a monster. All because someone saw my original post on reddit and shared it with everyone they could, even people at my job. Many of the posts here were nice in comparison to the things the people I thought were my friends said. I was just out of town for several days on a work trip. On Friday I came home to a partly-empty house, his car gone, and a petty-sounding letter saying that we would be getting a divorce. Not that he wanted one, that it was going to happen, he'd already filed. He said that my post was one of the most hurtful things he's ever read, and that my jealousy of his friendship was insane. He wrote "I fucking watched her die. She was walking by my side when it happened. I have nightmares about it." He said I'd be keeping the house, because "I don't want to spend every morning waking up to a reminder of the years of lies that was our marriage." he left a list of what he's taking, saying I can keep the rest. His last line was "If it'd been me instead of her, she'd have been there for you in an instant. Remember that." I learned he's staying with her husband, because that man sent me a long text telling me to stay away from his home, and he regretted ever letting me into his life. My own sister said if she learned I was dating someone, she'd "fill him in on what a black-hearted c-word" I am. So yeah. My husband is divorcing me because of his first wife's death. She's more important to him, and it seems to our friends, than keeping our marriage together is. She's screwing up my life even from the grave.”
After all that, she is STILL blaming her! I can't believe she said "screwing up my life even from the grave"... hunny, no. No one is screwing up your life except for you, and you alone. This is crazy!
dude your a god for posting this. also holy fuck this woman is demented like actually batshit insane and i hope for her and everyone else’s sake she gets some serious help.
Also with the 1st story, I think the husband's intentions were to basically be like "oh hey wife you don't need to worry about the woman I had an affair with anymore, she's dead, no need to look into it". That's what I got from him saying all of those lies. Trying to get his wife to not worry anymore and just "move on" that is horrible
along with maybe trying to make her feel guilty like “you made us end our affair and now she’s taken her life” i hope she leaves him and runs for the hills
Story 3 updated: He was drugged and SA'd by the sister, she had it on tape and was blackmailing him. There was an open investigation and she was told to remove the post.
The ged story has me HEATED. My grandma's dad had her drop out of high school because she had met my grandpa it was "time for her to stop wasting time and start a family". She had four kids and then ten grand kids when she decided she wanted to go back and get her GED. We threw her biggest party and the picture of her in her cap and gown at 65 surrounded by her family is still one of her favorites. Who cares if she never does anything with her degree! She worked her ass off and she should be so proud!
So in Texas if you get your GED you can apply to a community college you might have to test to get in you might not but you can still apply and get in. You'd be required to take two years and then you can go to a university if you can get into that. But it does matter and you can go to college with it you might have to do a little extra testing but it's like a legitimate thing. That guy is a dick.
My abusive ex used to ALWAYS say to me “you’re so sensitive”.. it’s literally a form of gaslighting.. because then you begin to think you’re overreacting to everything so you get trained to not react at all and except the bad behavior.
One time I was feeling insecure about how quickly I'd gone through a 2 liter of soda, and I told my abusive ex not to comment on it at all. The very next thing he said was a joke about how I'd gone through it quickly. I obviously got upset with him, and his response was "when did you get so fragile?"
My family members have said that to me, and for the longest time, I honestly thought I was too sensitive. My mom has criticized my weight for years (even when I was an average weight), to the point of showing me diet pill options to me when I was only 13. Whenever I would get uncomfortable or tell her I didn’t like her comment, she would call me sensitive, and I would convince myself that she just wanted what was best for me. I developed bulimia at a very young age (I’ve had it for most of my life), and she still comments on my weight, even though she knows of my eating disorder. I had to leave college for a semester to get treatment for an autoimmune disorder that caused severe fatigue and weight gain, which led to su!cidal thoughts, and along with getting treatment for the autoimmune disorder, I started seeing a new therapist. She asked me to tell my new therapist that she thought that if I would just lose some weight, my emotional problems would go away. I told my therapist this, and he got very quiet for a second and then said, “that is so far from okay for her to say that I don’t know where to begin.” After weeks of working with my therapist, I stopped justifying the things she said to me. when I saw my mom a couple months later, I told her that I didn’t want her to mention my weight again. She told me she rarely said anything and that she could say a lot worse. She then said I was being too sensitive. She was gaslighting me hardcore. It was awful. Our relationship isn’t as fantastic as it could be, but I feel better now that I hear that bs from her less and less.
@@lizziecross8149 I hope you know that your weight is the least interesting thing about you, you no doubt have so many amazing qualities that should be the focus. I’m so sorry about your mum, I would bet money on your mum being narcissistic and projecting her feelings about herself or things she was told growing up. I really hope you heal and find your joy. 💛
"All guys do it" That line made me believe it wasn't going to be different with anyone else. He was very wrong and I do have a good man now. Even my man's friends are good men. My ex and his friends were just bad people.
2nd story: His girlfriend deserves so much better. It’s a horrible joke, if my boyfriend said that to me I’d also not drop the conversation. It’s so concerning. Then to call her insecure and abandon her somewhere…. She better be leaving him
Exactly! My jaw dropped when he said the "joke" and it's honestly gross and misogynistic. His whole attitude is gross. Drop the boyfriend and run, girl
Right?! It's not a joke. It's gross. The woman they were talking about just had a baby plus a life threatening surgery and he's sexualizing her for no reason.
I hope she dumps him so bad! I was like “lemme get this straight: you made a crass joke about her best friend, she calls you out on your frat boy BS, and you retaliate by leaving her at the restaurant with no way of getting back to your place?! Bro, you SUCK!”
Took me 2 yrs to break up with someone like that. Made me feel stupid, confused, sensitive, and like I couldn't bring things up/have boundaries. Never again.
story 4: the original post and update are on best of reddit updates. she essentially doubles down, and thankfully he left her. she came back from a trip and found the house half empty with divorce papers, and a letter from her ex husband saying how she could keep the house bc he didn't want the reminder that the last 10 years of his life were a lie
YOU ARE A GOD SEND!!! Tysm! I hope your pillow stays cool on both sides as you sleep, lol! Kudos to him for leaving, and I'm LIVING for her coming home to a half empty house, and the note is icing on the fricking cake!!! Ty again!🙌🏽❤️
I just finished listening to the 1st story and OMG. I think the husband is a narcissist. The fact that he's making himself a victim and at the same time making himself look so important/boosting his ego blows my mind. He's making himself a victim saying that the person he had an affair with is dead and he's upset about it. And he's also making himself look good saying that he was so important to that women's life that so many people are reaching out to him, the fact that he was "offered $5 million" and then "donated it to charity". This man is a scary liar...girl run
These women are better than me I would have simply replied *Awh she killed herself? And you’re upset about it?” *scream laughing in his face then walking out*
For anyone in the future wanting to know the update of the husband throwing up when SIL announced pregnancy: SIL assaulted him. Told him he couldn’t speak up about it because she would either say he assaulted her or that he was lying. So her announcing the pregnancy brought up the trauma and made him breakdown thinking it could be his.
@@tanyastacy-haws993 luckily his wife was on his side after he talked to her. I think (and this is memory so I can’t say it’s 100%) obvi they cut contact with the sis. He went to therapy. But i think the fam took the abusers side? But I could be confusing that part for another story
Story 6 : can we please talk about how he belittled her accomplishments while acting like he's a big hot shot. His dad gave him that job. He didn't have to work hard and climb for a high position. It was given to him. She worked for her accomplishment.
I was thinking the same thing! Him and his important email from a client! I’m so pissed for her. I would love to see him start from scratch and see how good he feels then
Thank you! Exactly this. Like he'd know anything about what it takes to build a career from scratch, his daddy handed him his job. She's sacrificed so much for him & this is how he treats her? He's a POS & tbh I hope she leaves him, she deserves someone who lifts her up not this pillock who just wants to tear her down.
For story #6 as a high school dropout who got their GED: it’s an EIGHT HOUR TEST. So even if you think it’s all rudimentary (the majority of high school graduates don’t pass it so no it’s not rudimentary), it’s a LOT. I had to take it in four parts during a week because it’s so hard to focus after each 1-2 hour section. Good for her, that’s a huge accomplishment!! Especially while raising five kids and a baby of a husband.
My friend is currently doing GED because of the pandemic. The school dropped them out without any sort of reason. So they are currently working and getting their GED. I am in community college and my little sister who is in second grade gets a lot of homework. I help her with some of them and God damn some of them I just don't understand. While I don't know how exactly the education system works. But the way you were taught when you were in school, may be different to how students are today being taught. The state now requires certain classes to graduate. Some of these classes I didn't take because at the time I was not required to take them. The things you learned in 9th grade may now be taught to 6th graders.
Story 5: the husband 🙌🏻 wow what a partner. He could’ve totally called her crazy and made things worse. He was respectful to everyone, while still prioritizing his wife and her emotions. He took the time to understand her in one of her dark moments. That’s what marriage should be about. And they’re both willing to go to counseling. I hope the wife genuinely was just having a hard time with the fear of infertility and mental health and it’s not a character flaw. Cause the husband and friends are saints.
The way it reads just makes her sound manipulative. It was honestly triggering for me. But who knows what’s actually going on, considering he said she didn’t have fertility issues, I think it’s something else. I’m hoping she gets the help needed for her happiness.
Yeah, some red flags went up for me about her being a narcissist or bpd. People w those traits have a habit about making things about themselves, especially birthdays and achievements or celebrations
first story off the bat before hearing the end, he’s a pathological liar and is starting his affair back up but “killed her” so she “wouldn’t be suspicious” he’s still cheating with her
3rd story: The entire time my brain kept screaming this...What if he found out that he couldn't have children and had not told her yet. So then, when he saw how excited everyone was over the sister's pregnancy announcement, he got hit with sadness over the fact that he can never give his girl that same thing. And maybe he was so stressed because he's been keeping the secret for who knows how long.
All I could think throughout was that maybe he really wants kids but isn't able or his partner has said in the past that she doesn't want kids or something like that. The crying in the shower part especially.
Thing is though, he was quaking in his boots and threw up upon hearing the news. OP herself seems to have a feeling some cheating is involved based on what she kept bringing up so that’s already intuition playing a part. If the husband threw up out of guilt of being infertile wouldn’t it have been enough to say something at least after the shower? It sounds like some time had passed between that shower and the post, enough to decide how to tell his wife the sad news but he’s decided to shoot her down every time she brought it up since. He’s avoiding that conversation. Either he’s got anxiety or he’s hiding something
@@maiasanchez6406 he could be embarrassed that hes infertile- which is why he wouldnt have told the wife after the shower. however im leaning more towards him cheating and being guilty about it
People have to jump to cheating first for EVERYTHING even when they aren't cheating. People have to think the worst. It's sad really. I was thinking maybe wishes they were having a baby but can't get pregnant. I have a friend who tried for over 10 years to get pregnant and couldn't. I got pregnant out of nowhere and have PCOS just like my friend. She was beyond upset I was pregnant (we worked things out). So it could be he wants kids and can't and could see she wants them but doesn't want to disappoint her.
So with the 1st story, I feel like the husband came up with an elaborate story to be able to cover up why he may be getting random phone calls and things of that sort because he's still having an affair
The OP updated and checked his phone records and the affair partner's ex husband has been calling OPs husband couple times every month. Also she said that there's no obituary or evidence of her death. Hopefully op updates and leaves her husband once she gets the answers she needs.
@nikki federer me too. According to her reply to someone who said he's cheating again he works from home and he is always home and he sends her pictures of where he is and they share each other's location. I feel bad for her bc she believed his lies and it wasn't until everyone in the post told her he was full of shit and none of what he says makes sense. Like why would she leave him so much money if he's the reason she died? Hopefully, she got some answers bc it's been about 2-3 weeks since the post.
@@mariias4420 I may have completely missed it, but I wonder what even brought up this ~*potentially*~ elaborate story to begin with. If he works from home and they share their locations and send pictures of where they are, etc. I wonder if she noticed something unusual and started asking questions and then that's when he came up with the story? I also agree, I hope she gets answers. Ideally I hope she leaves him, because none of this adds up on his end.
In regards to the GED story: my mom went back to school to become a nurse at 35. Did 4 years of school, raised 2 kids, and still managed to be an amazing wife. It's never to late to better your education, and you CAN have it all 💜
Congrats to your mom! When I went to college some of my classes has a mom of 4 going back for her degree and a veteran who was making his second attempt at college with a GED. Also had a retired man who would tutor math and teach students racket ball. Never too late to learn something new or change career paths!
Story 4: My first ever boyfriend took his life this past Saturday. I was and am absolutely shattered. My fiancé took a half day off of work to take me to his funeral service today and support me. He stood behind me as I hugged his mother and father. And he held my shoulders as I cried. THAT is what a partner is. They understand you had a life prior to them and can hold space in your heart for people other than them. And they’re secure in the knowledge they hold the most important space. That woman is vile for how she treated this situation. He deserves better.
2nd story: even if the girlfriend didn’t feel weird about him commenting on someone else’s body, what he said was so objectifying. I’d be more upset that he was sexualizing my friend because it’s disrespectful toward my friend.
the update for the cruel wife is that he IS filing for divorce, and he said if it were him that passed she(the friend) would be there for her(OP) in an instant. Widowed husband is letting OP husband stay w him, and is requesting she not come by, and that OPs sister is gonna tell every partner she has "what they have to look forward to"
Also she actually died in front of him, which she definitely left out on purpose in the first post. And thankfully everyone in her life including boss and friends found her post and have basically destroyed her life, as she deserves.
Story 4.. omg.. HE WAS WALKING HER TO HER CAR WHEN IT HAPPENED.. not only is OP saying that to him after he lost a close friend, but after he WATCHED her die.. I did NOT think that one could get any worse until I read the update 😰😰😰
I mean, I know the original says he was with her shortly before, but the way OP worded it, I thought it was like... They'd gone their separate ways and then he got a call that she'd collapsed near her car or something after he was gone
Story 4. I heard the update on tic tok before she deleted it. On the day of the funeral she still tried to convince him to not go. Of course he went cus duh then at the funeral she was cremated so he got some of the ashes. Op tried to say it was “creepy” and he gave her the finger. A few days after that someone found op post and shared it with everyone and now friends and ppl at work know now and hate her then a few days or so before the update op came home from a business trip and saw that he took his stuff and left. He left her a letter with all the things he took that was his and saying he was gonna divorce her…. Like the paper work is already filed also… he SAW his friend die. She basically died in his arms they were walking back from lunch and she just fell and died before his eyes and op knows this and still said all that and the husband saw her post and said it was one of the most heartbreaking things he ever read and he’s done. Op ex husband is staying with his best friend husband and the best friend husband said he wished he never let her in his life. (Which proves to me that the best friend and the husband were more then likely nothing but nice to her and NEVER knew op felt so much hate toward his wife) and yeah even op sister said if she ever finds out op is dating again she will tell the dude how heartless op is and op is still blaming a dead woman for all this. She still think this is the best friend fault lol…. Like to this day smh
Jesus Christ I feel like such an idiot right now!!! Thank you for the update, I really needed to see it to understand how purely evil this OP is!!!! Honestly I was kinda the devil’s advocate, thinking that maybe she was bad at expressing her emotions and that surely there are huge reasons why she felt this way… like of course she is the asshole, but I thought that the husband’s friend treated her horribly and was flirty with her husband and disrespectful to OP… which would explain all this resentment and anger, not that it would be an excuse to treat her husband this way, especially for the funeral… I feel sick for trying to see her point of view…
@@mariazeniou8926 nah don’t feel sick. We live and we learn. I tried to see her point of view at first too and I hoped at least she would learn something but I guess sometimes ppl don’t learn even when literally every person from every side is telling you you’re wrong. She was with this man for 10 years and kept such hate. I’m not a big fan of my man being friends with an ex either but I could never see myself being so hateful for no reason
@@mariazeniou8926 bro she not okay in the head but they didn't even try to help her what kinda sis is she what a snake like she your family help her she not evil she just need help n no one is doing so it annoying
@@nadirimyers6643 sis is a snake she not even trying to help her sister she not okay in the head n no one is helping I had an uncle like that but in the he just made things up on his head n became crazy he die now but got better poor girl
Story 3: The ONLY alternative I can think of is what if they have been trying for a baby, and OP and him are having trouble conceiving and he knows it’s because of him. Like if you really wanted a child and to get news that SIL is pregnant by boyfriend could be very heartbreaking and he may not know how to share those feelings. However, I have no faith in humanity, so I think he’s cheating lol.
i feel like this would have been somting that was mentioned though, it seems like it could be such a critical bit of information, and op may have had a better idea of why he reacted the way he did
"I don't think age should define anyone" THANK YOU for this, Morgan!! As someone who's been sick for a decade (I'm turning 25 in July) and "only" graduated HS, I needed to hear this. I often forget that I went through HS while being sick, doing my sophomore and junior year while on chemo, and had a failed surgery that landed me in the hospital for 5 weeks and made me miss the last 2.5 months of junior year. I started med school but had to drop out because of meds and chemo, and now I'm on medical leave, pending to go to nursing school. It sucks to be the only friend in my friend group that doesn't have a bachelor's, but my friends are incredibly supportive and cheer on me. I guess we all have our unique timeline and a bachelor's at 22 or 60 is still a bachelor's! So if you're also on a unique timeline, you've got this; keep going because something good might be around the corner!
I was born with a suckish body that finally gave out when I was 9. It took me well over a decade to recover and even today in my thirties am still "delicate" medically. I graduated high school two days before turning twenty one, graduated uni a week after turning twenty seven and am five years into a two year MA program with hopes of actually getting a PhD before 45. I'm single, childless and was dropped like a hot potato when C19 came around and still don't have stable employment and don't earn a living wage today. It sucks that people have set timelines and predetermined milestones that quite a few of us struggle to achieve or live up to either willingly or unwillingly. It's not going to get much better but it is what it is and I understand you.
I went back to school when I was 30 and finished my graduation. There's only failure if you don't finish it. You have had such a hard time being sick, no one can blame that on you, ever. If you can, finish before 40 tho because time is a cruel mistress with obtaining and retaining information. I had to study twice as hard as the 18 year olds who just came to school for an exam, hungover from frat parties, and still managed to get an A.
Story 4, I get that you'd be jealous of someone who you feel is closer with your spouse than you are. But the way OP reacted is the same way that one lady that burned all her husband's photos of his late wife and their daughter. There's nothing to be jealous about anymore. People who are insecure about literal dead people are the worst.
For the GED story: what a terrible support system that poor woman has! He seems like such a sad human. Always celebrate ALL accomplishments! Whether that means you accomplished your goal of graduating college or going to the store without having a panic attack- celebrate all of that! Give yourself the credit! Also, just say you don't respect your wife and go. What do you get out of refusing to be happy over your partner's success? It takes zero effort. Be your partner's biggest support system.
Because of the first story alone, you guys should do an update episode. Some of these stories I feel should deserve em. I dont use Reddit but I love your podcasts on them.
My Dad got his GED because he wanted to show us kids that education was important. He dropped out because he started working full time and living on his own at 16. Can't even imagine. I feel like he wanted to feel like he could talk to us about the importance of education, but I think he wanted to accomplish it. Getting that GED was a big deal for him. He's really hard on himself, so I feel like it was such this now my kids can be proud of me moment. I really think he worried that we would think he was a failure.
The baby shower story: The wife is mentally ill and she’s about to find out😅 I think it’s always important to do individual therapy alongside couples therapy! Super super helpful
the second story: 1) shout out the girlfriend for that EPIC line of "does that make you feel good when you call me that?" a+ get it girl. 2) id be upset at that joke purely because of how deeply misogynistic it is. if your reaction to someone literally delivering a baby by having to be sliced open and have their organs removed is "damn at least shes still tight tho" like BRO be fucking for real. THATS what you get out of me telling you that? straight to jail. grow tf up.
Story 1: why would she think the mistress actually died. He basically pulled the whole high school/college "my grandma died" excuse to miss class and she fell for it?! Not to mention the 5 mil thing. The whole situation is so farfetched, I feel bad for the woman. He's got a serious issue
I feed bad for her. She’s letting her husband not only have his cake and eat it too, but so easily manipulate and gaslight her. I’m so tired of hearing women taking the blame for their men’s horrible actions. Makes me want to flip a table
when you’re in a relationship. or even friendship. with someone who is so extremely manipulative you don’t know what’s real and what’s not. your brain is different. you can’t think rationally about that person. that’s just how it is. this isn’t her fault
@@kaleighm993 I'm familiar with these types of relationships but at some point you have to get help and put an end to it. She's clearly aware that he's a huge liar and won't admit to it unless really pushed for it. I'm surprised she really bought his even more outrageous lie about his mistress dying and leaving him money. She's on the right path but she needs to stop being delusional just because she's still got a soft spot for him
@@AngelDKriiwith people like this and being in relationships how this one sounds just off this post alone so purely speculation but. I was in a very similar situation with a guy who constantly wet out of his was to lie to me outrageously lol. And it took me year almost a decade to really start to process and ACCEPT it. And want more for myself. Which’s sucks. But it’s true.
Lol I love you Lauren! Always excited to see you on the pod. I enjoy your takes on all of the stories & y'alls banter. Plus, just your personality overall ❤️🔥
What OP said in that last story "After many years of bullying, my self-confidence was so destroyed that I didn't know If I deserved to be loved. Let alone that someone could love me like that." made my heart break. I can really relate to that and hope I get to experience this sort of affection someday when I'm better.
In the story 4, the OP's (ex) husband left her aftter he saw her reddit post (her workplace also saw it and friends and family as well), he left her when she went on a work trip and pretty much said that she is evil iirc. Overall a happy ending and I hope he has glowing skin everyday forever. She can step on legos
Could you imagine meeting someone and marrying them and then finding that post?? horrific. especially after 1. he explicitly expressed his feelings for this person and 2. her DEATH? - the wife probably saw it as some sick "challenge" from day one
Story 2: Why is no one talking about how the girlfriend could have been offended by that joke, not because she was jealous or insecure, but because that’s a disrespectful thing to say about her friend. Also the fact that when they’re talking about childbirth he associated with Saks
Story 5: I grew up in a family with several family members needing to be the center of attention at any event or gathering. The worst was my grandmother who would make even a child's birthday party about her. I cannot recall a birthday party or holiday that she was invited to that didn't come with some awkward conversation or comment made to me or another person, who was doing something that gave them attention such as opening presents Or making a speech. She had surgery on her neck very close to my wedding, which was planned over a year in advanced. It was necessary and she shouldn't been in the hospital on the actual day. I told her it was okay and that we could celebrate it afterward, that her health was the most important thing. No. She checked herself out of the hospital early, barely able to walk, and with a neck brace and walker. Knowing her, I still had her spot saved in an area that was close to the door and bathroom, and that gave her enough space to safely move around and see all parts of the wedding. Even so, she tried to have my dj clear the dance floor and play a song she requested so she could dance. He said he could play the song if he had it, but wouldn't clear the floor without checking with the couple. He ended up downloading the song for her and played it, the dance floor cleared itself, but she danced over by her table instead then left because it was all "too much. " she called me later that night and very early the next morning, which I didn't see as my phone was up in our room to complain about how difficult it was for her to be at my wedding... I've learned that some people are just like this and I can only control how I respond to them.
Second story he comes off misogynistic in my opinion. If I tell my partner that my best friend, someone I love and care about, had to be rushed into a c section a reasonable first question is “are they and the baby okay?” Like something with concern? Not some douchey response like “well at least she’s still tight” like huh?? Gave me hardcore ick. Then after making a weird comment, flips it back on her and then leaves. It would be curtains for me and I hope it is for her as well 🤞🏼
Yay! I asked myself why I haven’t seen this episode yet, but it was because you posted it eight minutes ago!😹 I binge watched every episode in less than 2 weeks
Hey I binged watch your channel in 4days !! Even fell alseep listening to it to it everyday just would wake up remember the last thing I heard and go back lol !!!
Story 4 UPDATE 😱 “We've been together for 10 years, but he's choosing to end all of that because of how I reacted to his ex-wife's death. They were "friends" when we met, and his claim was that they'd dated and gotten married while they were "young and dumb" before realizing they worked better as friends than as a couple. He told me that if I wanted a relationship with him, I needed to accept she'd always be part of his life. He'd do things like go to geek movies with her and sometimes her husband, they'd do their tabletop gaming, all of which I found boring. He and I had a mostly happy marriage, I thought, but I had to deal with her presence and pretending she and her husband were friends. I hated her, and when she died I was relieved. I didn't want him going to his funeral, saying now that she was out of his life he was done with her. I was called cold and callous for wanting to put my foot down. Yes, he went to the funeral, which I was very uncomfortable with. I asked him not to go again, and he just gave me this cold, expressionless stare. She was cremated and my husband was given a little bit of her ashes in a small urn the size of a pill bottle. I told him it was creepy to have them, and he flipped me the bird. The past month-plus of my life has been a nightmare because of her dying. My husband has barely talked to me, and I've received texts from nearly all our friends and family calling me a monster. All because someone saw my original post on reddit and shared it with everyone they could, even people at my job. Many of the posts here were nice in comparison to the things the people I thought were my friends said. I was just out of town for several days on a work trip. On Friday I came home to a partly-empty house, his car gone, and a petty-sounding letter saying that we would be getting a divorce. Not that he wanted one, that it was going to happen, he'd already filed. He said that my post was one of the most hurtful things he's ever read, and that my jealousy of his friendship was insane. He wrote "I fucking watched her die. She was walking by my side when it happened. I have nightmares about it." He said I'd be keeping the house, because "I don't want to spend every morning waking up to a reminder of the years of lies that was our marriage." he left a list of what he's taking, saying I can keep the rest. His last line was "If it'd been me instead of her, she'd have been there for you in an instant. Remember that." I learned he's staying with her husband, because that man sent me a long text telling me to stay away from his home, and he regretted ever letting me into his life. My own sister said if she learned I was dating someone, she'd "fill him in on what a black-hearted c-word" I am. So yeah. My husband is divorcing me because of his first wife's death. She's more important to him, and it seems to our friends, than keeping our marriage together is. She's screwing up my life even from the grave.” Posted on best of redditor updates. - the update made my cry. I am shocked, disgusted and heartbroken.
Thank you for sharing the update!!! It drives me mad how she still chooses to blame the ex wife for all the bad things happening in her life...instead of owning up to it and realizing she did it to herself...
18:45 I refuse to believe there wouldn't be detectives there questioning suspicious activity. He gets out of the affair and 5 million? That's some murder stuff.
So for the story about the woman who's glad that her husband's friend/ex is dead, I heard the update in another video and apparently she and her husband are getting a divorce. He's staying with the late friend's husband who told OP to stay away. Everyone is angry at OP, including OP's own sister who stated if OP ever dated again, she'd warn the guy that she was, and I quote, "a black hearted c*nt". OP still didn't recognize that she was in the wrong. in fact, she stated that the late friend was trying to ruin her life from beyond the grave.
I just wanted to point out some doctors do the husband stitch without anyone’s permission. It causes tons of issues and ruins peoples lives. His comment sucked because he’s perpetuating stereotypes that cause harm to women. I hope she dumps him
I started listening to this episode while getting groceries and was followed home by a man on drugs who crashed his car chasing me.. i’m finishing the episode after my therapy session about the event and I guess thank you for being a distraction/source of comfort ❤️
EDIT: Someone posted this story plus the update on the THT Subreddit! He left her, thank heavens. With Story 4, you must have glossed over that the friend died on her way back to her car AFTER HAVING LUNCH WITH OP’s (hopefully STBX) Husband. So not only was it one of his closest friends, but they had literally just seen each other. The absolute mindfuck of losing someone literally so soon after seeing them when they were literally just fine minutes ago, I can’t imagine the grief; especially considering the length of their friendship/relationship. Instant divorce for me, absolutely not. That OP managed to hide her absolute disdain for the ex from her husband, God… I hope he leaves her anyway.
Story 6…🤦🏻♀️ his daddy gave him a position in his company…so how hard was that for him? You can’t be happy for something your wife accomplished on her own that nobody handed that to her? It feels like he thinks he’s better than her, and she’s just there tonhave babies.
Your interaction talking about the pregnancy scare SENT ME. Me and my best friend would totally have a moment where one is sad that the other wasn't pregnant

In story 6: literally I just texted my husband that I was proud of myself for eating half a doughnut because I'm working on portion control. He said he's super proud of me. I couldn't imagine having anything less than a supportive partner. It would just be so emotionally and mentally draining
the last story is wild. His reaction to her accomplishment says so much. Its clear he doesn't want her to have an identity outside of him and their kids. Its sad when the person who's job it it is to support you and cheer you on does the opposite.
story 6- justin says find a better dad for your kids, sometimes you just don’t know your partner until a kid comes. On tiktok there’s a trend of the relationship before then after the man is distant… not hating! just a bit of insight. loved the episode!❤
Thank you guys so much for the comments about not being late for college at 26 years old. I am 26 and am in my second year. I honestly almost cried at that! I have two kids and finally made the decision to go back to school last year. I have been feeling like I'm too old and that I'm behind everyone else. Your comments made me feel so much better! 😅❤
I went back to school when I was 30 and finished my graduation. There's only failure if you don't finish it. If you can, finish before 40 tho because time is a cruel mistress with obtaining and retaining information. I had to study twice as hard as the 18 year olds who just came to school for an exam, hungover from frat parties, and still managed to get an A. 😂
the 4th one irks my soul. i heard it somewhere the other day and its like… lady you knew what you were getting into, you had every opportunity to NOT get into it. it just goes back to the boundary vs control argument from FTS. i think this is like a PERFECT example. the husband set his boundary and she pretended to be fine with it and then tried to control him
Right? Like I understand not being comfortable with such a close relationship to someones ex wife not just an old ex-gf/bf. But he made it clear very early on that they weren't going anywhere. That was the time to decide if that was a dealbreaker for you. When someone lays a boundary like that, you shouldn't expect or pressure them to budge eventually. If you do, you're extremely manipulative. Ugh she is a freaking devil person!
Man that 4th story absolutely crushed me, I cannot imagine the pain he was going through or the spite and hate and ....evil feelings she carried for so long . It was sickening , and after reading the update in the comments I feel just as sick
I never really felt bad being single and on Valentine’s Day but I’ve been single for 5 years and this year I’ve been feeling very lonely since I turn 30 next month. I wanted to give a little Valentine’s experience to my girlfriends 🥰 I surprised them with a rose and gifts decorated my apartment with pink and red hearts got some goodies and also got a cookie decorating kit. Got us matching socks. It was so much fun. We really enjoyed it. Loved this episode. Hope you guys have a great Valentine’s Day.
Was going to mention the bids for affection and then Morgan said it exactly! 😄 They really matter. When your partner asks, no matter how big or small, you give them that attention and love!
my jaw is on the GROUND about the funeral story. regardless of how you felt about her, CLEARLY the relationship was important to him and to just act like her dying meant none of that existed is just cruel. you should be going to the funeral WITH her husband to support him. geezus h christ what is wrong with her???
“I’d cry if I had a parasite…” Lauren, this is the funniest, wildest in the most glib way and you’ve ever been in this episode. Love to see it 😂❤❤❤❤ Edit: you’re a always awesome but your comments this episode had me spit my water
we need to be a bit more confident with that YTA judgement on the second story. it was straight up, objectively vile what he said. it was both misogynistic (morgan already described perfectly how it is sexist) and inappropriate because of the comment being not only sexual towards another woman while hes in a relationship, but also it was about her friend, which is doubly gross. he then goes on to dismiss her feelings and then ABANDONS her in a tantrum. no matter how pissed off you are with your gf, you do NOT leave her in a dangerous position on her own with no safe way of getting home. this is disturbing behaviour. thank you morgan for giving this judgement the energy it deserves, because honestly, "nuance" and leniency have no place here. we love lauren but pleeeeaaaassseee no hesitating on calling out this misogyny.
For story three...I first saw it on Instagram and the comments there had a suggestion which I hope isn't true but makes a lot of sense and that is that the sister in law SAed the husband and that's why it's causing him to have such an extreme reaction because the baby might be his. I honestly just hope that it is him cheating or being weird but for some reason that makes the most sense in my mind
Honestly I thought this too. His reactions were very much assault victim reactions. It could be cheating but to me it seems very much like maybe something sinister happened.
There was another story similar to this and the husband was in love with the sister. They ended up getting divorced. He was obsessed with her and neither the sil or wife knew. SIL did not feel the same. They even tried to move away from the sister and he still wouldn’t get over it.
Story #1 I feel like the husband is LYING. In a stupid way, maybe he wants her to feel bad and gaslight her. He wants her to feel grateful that he picked her and thankful. Really, who would turn down 5 million dollars? Who would leave 5 million to someone who you blame? Idk that doesn't sit right. Yes Lauren agrees lol!
I feel like he's trying to convince his wife that there's no way he could ever get back with her in order to gain his wife's trust again? Which is so suspicious? Like "if you're having any doubt I'm back with her you're crazy because she's dead" -- super messed up
@@strawberrypanda13I don't know why people do this kind of voluntarily story telling. They make a story in their head to convince you of why X or Y should, could, would or sh(c/w)ouldn't happen. But instead of making it believable, they create these elaborate side stories, that are actually checkable, and makes them immediately Sus because of the almost supernatural fringe accomplishments that cuts them out to look absolutely better than you know them to be. My ex did this and the first story you're like huh, (I grew up with a compulsive liar and I smell lying from miles away) but you're willing to believe for the sake of the relationship. Second time you know it's a lie but hey, it's a small talltale and not really important but it makes you think what else is imagined. It's so fucked up because everything they tell from that point on is under scrutiny of your suspicion, even if it's a retelling of something you where there for. Trust comes on foot but really leaves on horseback.
She probably doesn't realise that after having kids, all the attention goes to the baby, not the Mum. Mum's "done her job." She'll find out the hard way, and I suspect she'll hate every second of it because of that 😂
What he says about the feeling that she changes personality and that the other personalities don't know about each other, that feeling doesn't come from nowhere. I have a friend who has DID (disassociate identity disorder) and she is exactly like that. Owning up to mistakes but only when she acts like X before. When she has been acting childish before, she's not going to take responsibility and acts out like a child. Taking DID into consideration, it's easily explained why she would say she's infertile or why she suddenly wants all the attention and has behaviour changes. DID is triggered by traumatic experiences and not conceiving when expected could easily be traumatic for her.
wow… story 3 where the guy throws up, reminds me of my ex. he said it was anxiety attacks and he didn’t know why it was happening, and then only after we broke up i found out he was cheating on me. really puts things into perspective after all the times he’s been sick/ thrown up
Story 6: firstly, she's given him five children & sacrificed so much for him, he should be celebrating everything she's pleased about - even things like she's happy with the way she did her make-up today. How hard is it to say "That's great! I'm so happy for you. I love seeing you be happy." Secondly, what tf would he know about building a career from scratch? His daddy handed him his job! He didn't have to do anything at all to get a career so it's extra despicable that he's sh*tting on her efforts.
The woman in story 4 is just ridiculous. Even if you did hate her, she's gone! She's dead, you don't have to deal with her anymore. Have the decency & compassion to be there for your husband & comfort him. I wonder what they even had in common 🤔 what did she even like about her husband? Talking about how the things he likes are nerdy & bore her..
Story 5 : I dealt with a similar situation where I was working with my husband to get to a place where we could start trying. Then my BIL gets his girlfriend pregnant. It was so hard to go to family events and everything but I just stayed back because I knew it was better for me to stay distant and deal with my emotions alone or with my husband.
1st story - I think the wife is on the road to learning her husband is a compulsive narcissist liar. She's not dead. He wasn't willed money. All of it's b.s.
For the GED one: getting your GED opens up SO MANY job opportunities alone! Most places require at least a high school diploma or a GED, so the fact that her husband is completely belittling her accomplishment, tells me that he just wants her to be a stay at home mom forever
For the 3rd story, it could be that he found out he is infertile and hasnt told op. the sil's announcement could have triggered him knowing he can't give his partner a child. My dad cried on his way back after he found out he had issues.
Story 2: How hard is it to just say, “Oh wow, tell your friend I said congratulations,” and just leave it at that? Why did he have to make “joke”? Story 3: IDK why people don’t mention this but it could be a trauma response. Her husband could have been SA’d.
The story with the husbands best friends death. She is WRONG. But he created that insecurity from the beginning with lying by omission about her just being a friend and leaving out that she was an ex WIFE
Congrats on cage diving, Lauren!!! A bucket list item for myself, for sure! 🦈 Thanks for posting today, THT crew. Just had a traumatic experience with a hair stylist cutting off half my hair (I requested a trim, wtf!?! 😭🤦♀️). This show is a real comfort, and a great distraction. Much love! 💙
"...was bedridden longer than even the doctors expected." As if that's her failure. Like he's thinking, "why can't you get your sh!t together and heal already? Your difficult birth of our twins is SO inconvenient for me." JFC I can't even. What an unbelievable POS. She deserves so much better and so do their children, who are learning that THIS is what a marriage should be. My heart breaks for her and her children. Should you ever read this, you're amazing, mama! I am PROUD of you! Sending all the virtual hugs!
Second story: Even if she completely blew the joke out of proportion and called him a pathetic loser, you do not leave a woman, your PARTNER, at a restaurant alone with no way of contacting you and no way of getting home. What if her phone was dead? What if someone offered her a ride and she never made it home like wtffff
The biggest hype man me, my husband and our son have is my ex. I would be lost without his friendship and he's still one of my favorite people on the planet. My husband understands that some people just don't work out romantically and he loves my ex, too! The loss of his life is something that would break my and my husband's hearts. I cannot even imagine someone telling my I can't miss my friend once he was gone all because we used to be together. What a cold, heartless and insecure woman. I hope she gets the therapy and healing she desperately needs!
YOU GUYS, former L&D nurse here - a dad asked the doc to put in an “extra stitch” and the doctor came back with “sure drop your pants & let me see how small I need to make it”. He shut right up 😇
As he should
Best response
Used to be common practice and disgustingly called the “daddy stitch”.
Yes 🤣
😂😂😂 THAT IS PERFECT
Story 4 Update (I saw this on multiple channels earlier today):
“We've been together for 10 years, but he's choosing to end all of that because of how I reacted to his ex-wife's death.
They were "friends" when we met, and his claim was that they'd dated and gotten married while they were "young and dumb" before realizing they worked better as friends than as a couple. He told me that if I wanted a relationship with him, I needed to accept she'd always be part of his life. He'd do things like go to geek movies with her and sometimes her husband, they'd do their tabletop gaming, all of which I found boring.
He and I had a mostly happy marriage, I thought, but I had to deal with her presence and pretending she and her husband were friends.
I hated her, and when she died I was relieved. I didn't want him going to his funeral, saying now that she was out of his life he was done with her. I was called cold and callous for wanting to put my foot down.
Yes, he went to the funeral, which I was very uncomfortable with. I asked him not to go again, and he just gave me this cold, expressionless stare. She was cremated and my husband was given a little bit of her ashes in a small urn the size of a pill bottle. I told him it was creepy to have them, and he flipped me the bird.
The past month-plus of my life has been a nightmare because of her dying. My husband has barely talked to me, and I've received texts from nearly all our friends and family calling me a monster. All because someone saw my original post on reddit and shared it with everyone they could, even people at my job. Many of the posts here were nice in comparison to the things the people I thought were my friends said.
I was just out of town for several days on a work trip. On Friday I came home to a partly-empty house, his car gone, and a petty-sounding letter saying that we would be getting a divorce. Not that he wanted one, that it was going to happen, he'd already filed. He said that my post was one of the most hurtful things he's ever read, and that my jealousy of his friendship was insane. He wrote "I fucking watched her die. She was walking by my side when it happened. I have nightmares about it."
He said I'd be keeping the house, because "I don't want to spend every morning waking up to a reminder of the years of lies that was our marriage." he left a list of what he's taking, saying I can keep the rest. His last line was "If it'd been me instead of her, she'd have been there for you in an instant. Remember that."

So yeah. My husband is divorcing me because of his first wife's death. She's more important to him, and it seems to our friends, than keeping our marriage together is. She's screwing up my life even from the grave.”
Omg..
Damn she really is a monster
After all that, she is STILL blaming her! I can't believe she said "screwing up my life even from the grave"... hunny, no. No one is screwing up your life except for you, and you alone. This is crazy!
dude your a god for posting this. also holy fuck this woman is demented like actually batshit insane and i hope for her and everyone else’s sake she gets some serious help.
Bump so they see it
Also with the 1st story, I think the husband's intentions were to basically be like "oh hey wife you don't need to worry about the woman I had an affair with anymore, she's dead, no need to look into it". That's what I got from him saying all of those lies. Trying to get his wife to not worry anymore and just "move on" that is horrible
which kinda makes me think he might be back with the woman? idk i feel like i might be reaching lol but something feels off
@@strawberrypanda13 not reaching at all. I don’t see any other reason to make all this shit up
along with maybe trying to make her feel guilty like “you made us end our affair and now she’s taken her life” i hope she leaves him and runs for the hills
@@rulinggoddess omg i hadn't even thought of that!! that's sinister
my thought immediately!!
Story 3 updated: He was drugged and SA'd by the sister, she had it on tape and was blackmailing him. There was an open investigation and she was told to remove the post.
DAMN. Hope she goes to jail
Oh my gawd. How awful! Wow.
Oh crap!
Omfg??? That's sickening wtf. I hope she gets jail time, jfc
OMG I F!CKING KNEW SHE DID SOMETHING!
That is so messed up.
The ged story has me HEATED. My grandma's dad had her drop out of high school because she had met my grandpa it was "time for her to stop wasting time and start a family". She had four kids and then ten grand kids when she decided she wanted to go back and get her GED. We threw her biggest party and the picture of her in her cap and gown at 65 surrounded by her family is still one of her favorites. Who cares if she never does anything with her degree! She worked her ass off and she should be so proud!
That is so wholesome, glad you and your family cherished your grandma and showed her love (especially after hearing that monstrosity.) ♥️♥️♥️
That's so sweet of your family! Go grandma!!
Never thought I'd be crying in the comments, but here I am! 🥺 This is awesome, and I just know she felt accomplished and loved in those moments!!❤️
So in Texas if you get your GED you can apply to a community college you might have to test to get in you might not but you can still apply and get in. You'd be required to take two years and then you can go to a university if you can get into that. But it does matter and you can go to college with it you might have to do a little extra testing but it's like a legitimate thing. That guy is a dick.
🥹
My abusive ex used to ALWAYS say to me “you’re so sensitive”.. it’s literally a form of gaslighting.. because then you begin to think you’re overreacting to everything so you get trained to not react at all and except the bad behavior.
That and "you're being dramatic." You've earned an invite the block party saying those kinds of things to me.
One time I was feeling insecure about how quickly I'd gone through a 2 liter of soda, and I told my abusive ex not to comment on it at all. The very next thing he said was a joke about how I'd gone through it quickly. I obviously got upset with him, and his response was "when did you get so fragile?"
My family members have said that to me, and for the longest time, I honestly thought I was too sensitive. My mom has criticized my weight for years (even when I was an average weight), to the point of showing me diet pill options to me when I was only 13. Whenever I would get uncomfortable or tell her I didn’t like her comment, she would call me sensitive, and I would convince myself that she just wanted what was best for me. I developed bulimia at a very young age (I’ve had it for most of my life), and she still comments on my weight, even though she knows of my eating disorder. I had to leave college for a semester to get treatment for an autoimmune disorder that caused severe fatigue and weight gain, which led to su!cidal thoughts, and along with getting treatment for the autoimmune disorder, I started seeing a new therapist. She asked me to tell my new therapist that she thought that if I would just lose some weight, my emotional problems would go away. I told my therapist this, and he got very quiet for a second and then said, “that is so far from okay for her to say that I don’t know where to begin.” After weeks of working with my therapist, I stopped justifying the things she said to me. when I saw my mom a couple months later, I told her that I didn’t want her to mention my weight again. She told me she rarely said anything and that she could say a lot worse. She then said I was being too sensitive. She was gaslighting me hardcore.
It was awful. Our relationship isn’t as fantastic as it could be, but I feel better now that I hear that bs from her less and less.
@@lizziecross8149 I hope you know that your weight is the least interesting thing about you, you no doubt have so many amazing qualities that should be the focus. I’m so sorry about your mum, I would bet money on your mum being narcissistic and projecting her feelings about herself or things she was told growing up. I really hope you heal and find your joy. 💛
"All guys do it" That line made me believe it wasn't going to be different with anyone else. He was very wrong and I do have a good man now. Even my man's friends are good men. My ex and his friends were just bad people.
2nd story: His girlfriend deserves so much better. It’s a horrible joke, if my boyfriend said that to me I’d also not drop the conversation. It’s so concerning. Then to call her insecure and abandon her somewhere…. She better be leaving him
Exactly! My jaw dropped when he said the "joke" and it's honestly gross and misogynistic. His whole attitude is gross. Drop the boyfriend and run, girl
Right?! It's not a joke. It's gross. The woman they were talking about just had a baby plus a life threatening surgery and he's sexualizing her for no reason.
I hope she dumps him so bad! I was like “lemme get this straight: you made a crass joke about her best friend, she calls you out on your frat boy BS, and you retaliate by leaving her at the restaurant with no way of getting back to your place?! Bro, you SUCK!”
Took me 2 yrs to break up with someone like that. Made me feel stupid, confused, sensitive, and like I couldn't bring things up/have boundaries. Never again.
Right!?? What is he!? 12? And abandoning her, IN the restaurant?! I hope she leaves him
lauren was worried ab being low energy and then hit us with “find a way to make pp’s bigger” like girl
👏👏👏👏👏 yes! haha
Love Lauren fr😹
Ironically men want that but the tech doesn't exist. We literally haven't figured it out yet lol
story 4: the original post and update are on best of reddit updates. she essentially doubles down, and thankfully he left her. she came back from a trip and found the house half empty with divorce papers, and a letter from her ex husband saying how she could keep the house bc he didn't want the reminder that the last 10 years of his life were a lie
YOU ARE A GOD SEND!!! Tysm! I hope your pillow stays cool on both sides as you sleep, lol!
Kudos to him for leaving, and I'm LIVING for her coming home to a half empty house, and the note is icing on the fricking cake!!! Ty again!🙌🏽❤️
An angel on earth? Yes. Yes you are ❤
Happy for him but sad for him she didn’t take the out when it was offered to het
He’s so dramatic 😂
@@biamarie5183 in the absolute best way
I just finished listening to the 1st story and OMG. I think the husband is a narcissist. The fact that he's making himself a victim and at the same time making himself look so important/boosting his ego blows my mind. He's making himself a victim saying that the person he had an affair with is dead and he's upset about it. And he's also making himself look good saying that he was so important to that women's life that so many people are reaching out to him, the fact that he was "offered $5 million" and then "donated it to charity". This man is a scary liar...girl run
Yuppppp!!!
aaallll of this
These women are better than me
I would have simply replied
*Awh she killed herself? And you’re upset about it?”
*scream laughing in his face then walking out*
yeah i dont believe it. its giving narcissistic manipulation.
@@Maythehoresbewithyou Sameee Ain’t no body got time for that! “like go be Romeo to her Juliet, peace out!”
For anyone in the future wanting to know the update of the husband throwing up when SIL announced pregnancy:
SIL assaulted him. Told him he couldn’t speak up about it because she would either say he assaulted her or that he was lying. So her announcing the pregnancy brought up the trauma and made him breakdown thinking it could be his.
😮
Poor guy, I hope he gets the support and therapy he needs 😢
@@tanyastacy-haws993 luckily his wife was on his side after he talked to her. I think (and this is memory so I can’t say it’s 100%) obvi they cut contact with the sis. He went to therapy. But i think the fam took the abusers side? But I could be confusing that part for another story
Story 6 : can we please talk about how he belittled her accomplishments while acting like he's a big hot shot. His dad gave him that job. He didn't have to work hard and climb for a high position. It was given to him. She worked for her accomplishment.
I was thinking the same thing! Him and his important email from a client! I’m so pissed for her. I would love to see him start from scratch and see how good he feels then
Thank you! Exactly this. Like he'd know anything about what it takes to build a career from scratch, his daddy handed him his job. She's sacrificed so much for him & this is how he treats her? He's a POS & tbh I hope she leaves him, she deserves someone who lifts her up not this pillock who just wants to tear her down.
For story #6 as a high school dropout who got their GED: it’s an EIGHT HOUR TEST. So even if you think it’s all rudimentary (the majority of high school graduates don’t pass it so no it’s not rudimentary), it’s a LOT. I had to take it in four parts during a week because it’s so hard to focus after each 1-2 hour section. Good for her, that’s a huge accomplishment!! Especially while raising five kids and a baby of a husband.
My friend is currently doing GED because of the pandemic. The school dropped them out without any sort of reason. So they are currently working and getting their GED.
I am in community college and my little sister who is in second grade gets a lot of homework. I help her with some of them and God damn some of them I just don't understand.
While I don't know how exactly the education system works. But the way you were taught when you were in school, may be different to how students are today being taught.
The state now requires certain classes to graduate. Some of these classes I didn't take because at the time I was not required to take them. The things you learned in 9th grade may now be taught to 6th graders.
Story 5: the husband 🙌🏻 wow what a partner. He could’ve totally called her crazy and made things worse. He was respectful to everyone, while still prioritizing his wife and her emotions. He took the time to understand her in one of her dark moments. That’s what marriage should be about. And they’re both willing to go to counseling. I hope the wife genuinely was just having a hard time with the fear of infertility and mental health and it’s not a character flaw. Cause the husband and friends are saints.
The way it reads just makes her sound manipulative. It was honestly triggering for me. But who knows what’s actually going on, considering he said she didn’t have fertility issues, I think it’s something else. I’m hoping she gets the help needed for her happiness.
Yeah, some red flags went up for me about her being a narcissist or bpd. People w those traits have a habit about making things about themselves, especially birthdays and achievements or celebrations
first story off the bat before hearing the end, he’s a pathological liar and is starting his affair back up but “killed her” so she “wouldn’t be suspicious” he’s still cheating with her
To me it’s so clear the whole story is an evil manipulation of the wife. So sad, and it makes me angry
3rd story: The entire time my brain kept screaming this...What if he found out that he couldn't have children and had not told her yet. So then, when he saw how excited everyone was over the sister's pregnancy announcement, he got hit with sadness over the fact that he can never give his girl that same thing. And maybe he was so stressed because he's been keeping the secret for who knows how long.
I know! Kept thinking the same thing and wondering why it wasn't brought up.
All I could think throughout was that maybe he really wants kids but isn't able or his partner has said in the past that she doesn't want kids or something like that. The crying in the shower part especially.
Thing is though, he was quaking in his boots and threw up upon hearing the news. OP herself seems to have a feeling some cheating is involved based on what she kept bringing up so that’s already intuition playing a part. If the husband threw up out of guilt of being infertile wouldn’t it have been enough to say something at least after the shower? It sounds like some time had passed between that shower and the post, enough to decide how to tell his wife the sad news but he’s decided to shoot her down every time she brought it up since. He’s avoiding that conversation. Either he’s got anxiety or he’s hiding something
@@maiasanchez6406 he could be embarrassed that hes infertile- which is why he wouldnt have told the wife after the shower. however im leaning more towards him cheating and being guilty about it
People have to jump to cheating first for EVERYTHING even when they aren't cheating. People have to think the worst. It's sad really.
I was thinking maybe wishes they were having a baby but can't get pregnant. I have a friend who tried for over 10 years to get pregnant and couldn't. I got pregnant out of nowhere and have PCOS just like my friend. She was beyond upset I was pregnant (we worked things out). So it could be he wants kids and can't and could see she wants them but doesn't want to disappoint her.
So with the 1st story, I feel like the husband came up with an elaborate story to be able to cover up why he may be getting random phone calls and things of that sort because he's still having an affair
The OP updated and checked his phone records and the affair partner's ex husband has been calling OPs husband couple times every month. Also she said that there's no obituary or evidence of her death. Hopefully op updates and leaves her husband once she gets the answers she needs.
@@mariias4420 yeah personally I don't buy that it's her "ex husband's" number. I think it's just a different number for her.
@nikki federer me too. According to her reply to someone who said he's cheating again he works from home and he is always home and he sends her pictures of where he is and they share each other's location. I feel bad for her bc she believed his lies and it wasn't until everyone in the post told her he was full of shit and none of what he says makes sense. Like why would she leave him so much money if he's the reason she died? Hopefully, she got some answers bc it's been about 2-3 weeks since the post.
@@mariias4420 I may have completely missed it, but I wonder what even brought up this ~*potentially*~ elaborate story to begin with. If he works from home and they share their locations and send pictures of where they are, etc. I wonder if she noticed something unusual and started asking questions and then that's when he came up with the story? I also agree, I hope she gets answers. Ideally I hope she leaves him, because none of this adds up on his end.
What i don’t get is why OP is trying so hard to believe her husband. I would be so divorced for even living in doubt, no man is worth that
In regards to the GED story: my mom went back to school to become a nurse at 35. Did 4 years of school, raised 2 kids, and still managed to be an amazing wife. It's never to late to better your education, and you CAN have it all 💜
Congrats to your mom! When I went to college some of my classes has a mom of 4 going back for her degree and a veteran who was making his second attempt at college with a GED. Also had a retired man who would tutor math and teach students racket ball. Never too late to learn something new or change career paths!
Story 4: My first ever boyfriend took his life this past Saturday. I was and am absolutely shattered. My fiancé took a half day off of work to take me to his funeral service today and support me. He stood behind me as I hugged his mother and father. And he held my shoulders as I cried. THAT is what a partner is. They understand you had a life prior to them and can hold space in your heart for people other than them. And they’re secure in the knowledge they hold the most important space.
That woman is vile for how she treated this situation. He deserves better.
2nd story: even if the girlfriend didn’t feel weird about him commenting on someone else’s body, what he said was so objectifying. I’d be more upset that he was sexualizing my friend because it’s disrespectful toward my friend.
the update for the cruel wife is that he IS filing for divorce, and he said if it were him that passed she(the friend) would be there for her(OP) in an instant. Widowed husband is letting OP husband stay w him, and is requesting she not come by, and that OPs sister is gonna tell every partner she has "what they have to look forward to"
Wow, good for him. I’m glad he has people who actually CARE about him in his corner. OP has a lot of issue to take care of.
Also, the OP STILL doesn't recognize that she was in the wrong. She basically states that the friend is ruining her life from beyond the grave.
Also she actually died in front of him, which she definitely left out on purpose in the first post. And thankfully everyone in her life including boss and friends found her post and have basically destroyed her life, as she deserves.
@@heatherduke5410 Jesus, she’s off her rocker.
Story 4.. omg.. HE WAS WALKING HER TO HER CAR WHEN IT HAPPENED.. not only is OP saying that to him after he lost a close friend, but after he WATCHED her die.. I did NOT think that one could get any worse until I read the update 😰😰😰
I mean, I know the original says he was with her shortly before, but the way OP worded it, I thought it was like... They'd gone their separate ways and then he got a call that she'd collapsed near her car or something after he was gone
Story 4. I heard the update on tic tok before she deleted it. On the day of the funeral she still tried to convince him to not go. Of course he went cus duh then at the funeral she was cremated so he got some of the ashes. Op tried to say it was “creepy” and he gave her the finger. A few days after that someone found op post and shared it with everyone and now friends and ppl at work know now and hate her then a few days or so before the update op came home from a business trip and saw that he took his stuff and left. He left her a letter with all the things he took that was his and saying he was gonna divorce her…. Like the paper work is already filed also… he SAW his friend die. She basically died in his arms they were walking back from lunch and she just fell and died before his eyes and op knows this and still said all that and the husband saw her post and said it was one of the most heartbreaking things he ever read and he’s done. Op ex husband is staying with his best friend husband and the best friend husband said he wished he never let her in his life. (Which proves to me that the best friend and the husband were more then likely nothing but nice to her and NEVER knew op felt so much hate toward his wife) and yeah even op sister said if she ever finds out op is dating again she will tell the dude how heartless op is and op is still blaming a dead woman for all this. She still think this is the best friend fault lol…. Like to this day smh
Wow thank you so much for posting such a detailed update. This is such a heartbreaking story. Poor guy.
Jesus Christ I feel like such an idiot right now!!! Thank you for the update, I really needed to see it to understand how purely evil this OP is!!!!
Honestly I was kinda the devil’s advocate, thinking that maybe she was bad at expressing her emotions and that surely there are huge reasons why she felt this way… like of course she is the asshole, but I thought that the husband’s friend treated her horribly and was flirty with her husband and disrespectful to OP… which would explain all this resentment and anger, not that it would be an excuse to treat her husband this way, especially for the funeral… I feel sick for trying to see her point of view…
@@mariazeniou8926 nah don’t feel sick. We live and we learn. I tried to see her point of view at first too and I hoped at least she would learn something but I guess sometimes ppl don’t learn even when literally every person from every side is telling you you’re wrong. She was with this man for 10 years and kept such hate. I’m not a big fan of my man being friends with an ex either but I could never see myself being so hateful for no reason
@@mariazeniou8926 bro she not okay in the head but they didn't even try to help her what kinda sis is she what a snake like she your family help her she not evil she just need help n no one is doing so it annoying
@@nadirimyers6643 sis is a snake she not even trying to help her sister she not okay in the head n no one is helping I had an uncle like that but in the he just made things up on his head n became crazy he die now but got better poor girl
Story 3: The ONLY alternative I can think of is what if they have been trying for a baby, and OP and him are having trouble conceiving and he knows it’s because of him. Like if you really wanted a child and to get news that SIL is pregnant by boyfriend could be very heartbreaking and he may not know how to share those feelings.
However, I have no faith in humanity, so I think he’s cheating lol.
i feel like this would have been somting that was mentioned though, it seems like it could be such a critical bit of information, and op may have had a better idea of why he reacted the way he did
Yeah there's actually another one that you missed I'm pretty sure in the update he was graped by the sister so the reaction was understandable
"I don't think age should define anyone" THANK YOU for this, Morgan!! As someone who's been sick for a decade (I'm turning 25 in July) and "only" graduated HS, I needed to hear this. I often forget that I went through HS while being sick, doing my sophomore and junior year while on chemo, and had a failed surgery that landed me in the hospital for 5 weeks and made me miss the last 2.5 months of junior year. I started med school but had to drop out because of meds and chemo, and now I'm on medical leave, pending to go to nursing school. It sucks to be the only friend in my friend group that doesn't have a bachelor's, but my friends are incredibly supportive and cheer on me.
I guess we all have our unique timeline and a bachelor's at 22 or 60 is still a bachelor's! So if you're also on a unique timeline, you've got this; keep going because something good might be around the corner!
Exactly life isn’t a race otherwise what’s the finish line death? you do things at your own time table things will come when there meant to
❤️❤️❤️
I was born with a suckish body that finally gave out when I was 9. It took me well over a decade to recover and even today in my thirties am still "delicate" medically. I graduated high school two days before turning twenty one, graduated uni a week after turning twenty seven and am five years into a two year MA program with hopes of actually getting a PhD before 45. I'm single, childless and was dropped like a hot potato when C19 came around and still don't have stable employment and don't earn a living wage today.
It sucks that people have set timelines and predetermined milestones that quite a few of us struggle to achieve or live up to either willingly or unwillingly. It's not going to get much better but it is what it is and I understand you.
I went back to school when I was 30 and finished my graduation. There's only failure if you don't finish it. You have had such a hard time being sick, no one can blame that on you, ever.
If you can, finish before 40 tho because time is a cruel mistress with obtaining and retaining information. I had to study twice as hard as the 18 year olds who just came to school for an exam, hungover from frat parties, and still managed to get an A.
@@MsDrientje congrats on your graduation! I should be done with school by 32 but who knows what will actually happen. THank you for your kind response
Story 4, I get that you'd be jealous of someone who you feel is closer with your spouse than you are. But the way OP reacted is the same way that one lady that burned all her husband's photos of his late wife and their daughter. There's nothing to be jealous about anymore. People who are insecure about literal dead people are the worst.
Pls does anyone know what episode the wife burning photos is?
@@leire5932 give me a couple mins and I'll look for it, I just found the reddit post but I'm looking through the vids rn
@@leire5932 I found it! She didn't burn them, but she did throw them away. It's in the "Put Em' in Rice" episode, at 41:55
Hope this helps 💜
@@lillypea thank you so much👍🏾
For the GED story: what a terrible support system that poor woman has! He seems like such a sad human. Always celebrate ALL accomplishments! Whether that means you accomplished your goal of graduating college or going to the store without having a panic attack- celebrate all of that! Give yourself the credit!
Also, just say you don't respect your wife and go. What do you get out of refusing to be happy over your partner's success? It takes zero effort. Be your partner's biggest support system.
Because of the first story alone, you guys should do an update episode. Some of these stories I feel should deserve em. I dont use Reddit but I love your podcasts on them.
My Dad got his GED because he wanted to show us kids that education was important. He dropped out because he started working full time and living on his own at 16. Can't even imagine. I feel like he wanted to feel like he could talk to us about the importance of education, but I think he wanted to accomplish it. Getting that GED was a big deal for him. He's really hard on himself, so I feel like it was such this now my kids can be proud of me moment. I really think he worried that we would think he was a failure.
The baby shower story:
The wife is mentally ill and she’s about to find out😅 I think it’s always important to do individual therapy alongside couples therapy! Super super helpful
the second story: 1) shout out the girlfriend for that EPIC line of "does that make you feel good when you call me that?" a+ get it girl. 2) id be upset at that joke purely because of how deeply misogynistic it is. if your reaction to someone literally delivering a baby by having to be sliced open and have their organs removed is "damn at least shes still tight tho" like BRO be fucking for real. THATS what you get out of me telling you that? straight to jail. grow tf up.
Story 1: why would she think the mistress actually died. He basically pulled the whole high school/college "my grandma died" excuse to miss class and she fell for it?! Not to mention the 5 mil thing. The whole situation is so farfetched, I feel bad for the woman. He's got a serious issue
I feed bad for her. She’s letting her husband not only have his cake and eat it too, but so easily manipulate and gaslight her. I’m so tired of hearing women taking the blame for their men’s horrible actions. Makes me want to flip a table
when you’re in a relationship. or even friendship. with someone who is so extremely manipulative you don’t know what’s real and what’s not. your brain is different. you can’t think rationally about that person. that’s just how it is. this isn’t her fault
@@kaleighm993 I'm familiar with these types of relationships but at some point you have to get help and put an end to it. She's clearly aware that he's a huge liar and won't admit to it unless really pushed for it. I'm surprised she really bought his even more outrageous lie about his mistress dying and leaving him money. She's on the right path but she needs to stop being delusional just because she's still got a soft spot for him
@@AngelDKriiwith people like this and being in relationships how this one sounds just off this post alone so purely speculation but. I was in a very similar situation with a guy who constantly wet out of his was to lie to me outrageously lol. And it took me year almost a decade to really start to process and ACCEPT it. And want more for myself. Which’s sucks. But it’s true.
I know this sounds ridiculous since I’m apart of this podcast but….. I’ve never been this early and I’m a little too excited about it 😂🤗
hahahaha
Lol I love you Lauren! Always excited to see you on the pod. I enjoy your takes on all of the stories & y'alls banter. Plus, just your personality overall ❤️🔥
@@GIJaneUSAF thank you so much 🥹🥹
What OP said in that last story "After many years of bullying, my self-confidence was so destroyed that I didn't know If I deserved to be loved. Let alone that someone could love me like that." made my heart break. I can really relate to that and hope I get to experience this sort of affection someday when I'm better.
Therapy has helped me enormously! You are worthy of love! Especially your love for yourself. Self love is the start of a lifelong romance.
I laughed so hard at the guy that said “women are only suppose to have a period every four years” I’m currently on mine and wishing that was true 😂
Story 2: I think the husband is the father. And the SIL announced the pregnancy out loud to spite him bc he refuses to leave his wife to be with her.
In the story 4, the OP's (ex) husband left her aftter he saw her reddit post (her workplace also saw it and friends and family as well), he left her when she went on a work trip and pretty much said that she is evil iirc. Overall a happy ending and I hope he has glowing skin everyday forever. She can step on legos
omg ur a godsend
THANK GOD immediately came down to the comments hoping someone would have an update I couldn't live w this being open ended
YAYY!
Could you imagine meeting someone and marrying them and then finding that post?? horrific. especially after 1. he explicitly expressed his feelings for this person and 2. her DEATH? - the wife probably saw it as some sick "challenge" from day one
Story 2: Why is no one talking about how the girlfriend could have been offended by that joke, not because she was jealous or insecure, but because that’s a disrespectful thing to say about her friend. Also the fact that when they’re talking about childbirth he associated with Saks
that fourth story … i don’t think any story has ever hit me like that. my jaw was on the floor, i feel so awful for that man.
Story 5: I grew up in a family with several family members needing to be the center of attention at any event or gathering. The worst was my grandmother who would make even a child's birthday party about her. I cannot recall a birthday party or holiday that she was invited to that didn't come with some awkward conversation or comment made to me or another person, who was doing something that gave them attention such as opening presents Or making a speech. She had surgery on her neck very close to my wedding, which was planned over a year in advanced. It was necessary and she shouldn't been in the hospital on the actual day. I told her it was okay and that we could celebrate it afterward, that her health was the most important thing. No. She checked herself out of the hospital early, barely able to walk, and with a neck brace and walker. Knowing her, I still had her spot saved in an area that was close to the door and bathroom, and that gave her enough space to safely move around and see all parts of the wedding. Even so, she tried to have my dj clear the dance floor and play a song she requested so she could dance. He said he could play the song if he had it, but wouldn't clear the floor without checking with the couple. He ended up downloading the song for her and played it, the dance floor cleared itself, but she danced over by her table instead then left because it was all "too much. " she called me later that night and very early the next morning, which I didn't see as my phone was up in our room to complain about how difficult it was for her to be at my wedding...
I've learned that some people are just like this and I can only control how I respond to them.
Second story he comes off misogynistic in my opinion. If I tell my partner that my best friend, someone I love and care about, had to be rushed into a c section a reasonable first question is “are they and the baby okay?” Like something with concern? Not some douchey response like “well at least she’s still tight” like huh?? Gave me hardcore ick. Then after making a weird comment, flips it back on her and then leaves. It would be curtains for me and I hope it is for her as well 🤞🏼
Lauren had some amazing comments today. On point. Chefs kiss 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 especially on the husband losing a friend/Ex partner.
All these stories were so crazy, but I absolutely watched the candle the whole time. Even though it wasn’t lit this time😂
LMFAO SAME! I’m staring at it like it’ll magically turn itself on

Story 4 UPDATE 😱
“We've been together for 10 years, but he's choosing to end all of that because of how I reacted to his ex-wife's death.
They were "friends" when we met, and his claim was that they'd dated and gotten married while they were "young and dumb" before realizing they worked better as friends than as a couple. He told me that if I wanted a relationship with him, I needed to accept she'd always be part of his life. He'd do things like go to geek movies with her and sometimes her husband, they'd do their tabletop gaming, all of which I found boring.
He and I had a mostly happy marriage, I thought, but I had to deal with her presence and pretending she and her husband were friends.
I hated her, and when she died I was relieved. I didn't want him going to his funeral, saying now that she was out of his life he was done with her. I was called cold and callous for wanting to put my foot down.
Yes, he went to the funeral, which I was very uncomfortable with. I asked him not to go again, and he just gave me this cold, expressionless stare. She was cremated and my husband was given a little bit of her ashes in a small urn the size of a pill bottle. I told him it was creepy to have them, and he flipped me the bird.
The past month-plus of my life has been a nightmare because of her dying. My husband has barely talked to me, and I've received texts from nearly all our friends and family calling me a monster. All because someone saw my original post on reddit and shared it with everyone they could, even people at my job. Many of the posts here were nice in comparison to the things the people I thought were my friends said.
I was just out of town for several days on a work trip. On Friday I came home to a partly-empty house, his car gone, and a petty-sounding letter saying that we would be getting a divorce. Not that he wanted one, that it was going to happen, he'd already filed. He said that my post was one of the most hurtful things he's ever read, and that my jealousy of his friendship was insane. He wrote "I fucking watched her die. She was walking by my side when it happened. I have nightmares about it."
He said I'd be keeping the house, because "I don't want to spend every morning waking up to a reminder of the years of lies that was our marriage." he left a list of what he's taking, saying I can keep the rest. His last line was "If it'd been me instead of her, she'd have been there for you in an instant. Remember that."
I learned he's staying with her husband, because that man sent me a long text telling me to stay away from his home, and he regretted ever letting me into his life.
My own sister said if she learned I was dating someone, she'd "fill him in on what a black-hearted c-word" I am.
So yeah. My husband is divorcing me because of his first wife's death. She's more important to him, and it seems to our friends, than keeping our marriage together is. She's screwing up my life even from the grave.”
Posted on best of redditor updates.
- the update made my cry. I am shocked, disgusted and heartbroken.
Thank you for posting this it needs more attention
I for one completely empathize with you. Your relationship should have taken priority over theirs.
How could she do that to her husband. It is so devastating.
Thank you for sharing the update!!!
It drives me mad how she still chooses to blame the ex wife for all the bad things happening in her life...instead of owning up to it and realizing she did it to herself...
But i'm glad the husband left her...he really needed to get away from her
18:45 I refuse to believe there wouldn't be detectives there questioning suspicious activity. He gets out of the affair and 5 million? That's some murder stuff.
So for the story about the woman who's glad that her husband's friend/ex is dead, I heard the update in another video and apparently she and her husband are getting a divorce. He's staying with the late friend's husband who told OP to stay away. Everyone is angry at OP, including OP's own sister who stated if OP ever dated again, she'd warn the guy that she was, and I quote, "a black hearted c*nt". OP still didn't recognize that she was in the wrong. in fact, she stated that the late friend was trying to ruin her life from beyond the grave.
I just wanted to point out some doctors do the husband stitch without anyone’s permission. It causes tons of issues and ruins peoples lives. His comment sucked because he’s perpetuating stereotypes that cause harm to women. I hope she dumps him
I started listening to this episode while getting groceries and was followed home by a man on drugs who crashed his car chasing me.. i’m finishing the episode after my therapy session about the event and I guess thank you for being a distraction/source of comfort ❤️
EDIT: Someone posted this story plus the update on the THT Subreddit! He left her, thank heavens.
With Story 4, you must have glossed over that the friend died on her way back to her car AFTER HAVING LUNCH WITH OP’s (hopefully STBX) Husband. So not only was it one of his closest friends, but they had literally just seen each other. The absolute mindfuck of losing someone literally so soon after seeing them when they were literally just fine minutes ago, I can’t imagine the grief; especially considering the length of their friendship/relationship. Instant divorce for me, absolutely not. That OP managed to hide her absolute disdain for the ex from her husband, God… I hope he leaves her anyway.
Story 6…🤦🏻♀️ his daddy gave him a position in his company…so how hard was that for him? You can’t be happy for something your wife accomplished on her own that nobody handed that to her? It feels like he thinks he’s better than her, and she’s just there tonhave babies.
Your interaction talking about the pregnancy scare SENT ME. Me and my best friend would totally have a moment where one is sad that the other wasn't pregnant

the boyfriend from the 2nd story would 1000% ask his partners dr to give her the husband stitch
In story 6: literally I just texted my husband that I was proud of myself for eating half a doughnut because I'm working on portion control. He said he's super proud of me. I couldn't imagine having anything less than a supportive partner. It would just be so emotionally and mentally draining
the last story is wild. His reaction to her accomplishment says so much. Its clear he doesn't want her to have an identity outside of him and their kids. Its sad when the person who's job it it is to support you and cheer you on does the opposite.
My mom and I started college at the same time. You can go back to school whenever to do what you want.
Awww Lauren is always so empathetically on point. I relate to her perspective more than anyone else's.
story 6- justin says find a better dad for your kids, sometimes you just don’t know your partner until a kid comes. On tiktok there’s a trend of the relationship before then after the man is distant…
not hating! just a bit of insight. loved the episode!❤
Thank you guys so much for the comments about not being late for college at 26 years old. I am 26 and am in my second year. I honestly almost cried at that! I have two kids and finally made the decision to go back to school last year. I have been feeling like I'm too old and that I'm behind everyone else. Your comments made me feel so much better! 😅❤
I went back to school when I was 30 and finished my graduation. There's only failure if you don't finish it.
If you can, finish before 40 tho because time is a cruel mistress with obtaining and retaining information. I had to study twice as hard as the 18 year olds who just came to school for an exam, hungover from frat parties, and still managed to get an A. 😂
i hateeee that these don’t have updates like omg i need to know what happens with story 1 and 3!😩
3 is driving me crazy, I almost wish they wouldn’t read non updated ones 😭
@@ravioliravioli4486he was graped by the sister I'm pretty sure!!
the 4th one irks my soul. i heard it somewhere the other day and its like… lady you knew what you were getting into, you had every opportunity to NOT get into it. it just goes back to the boundary vs control argument from FTS. i think this is like a PERFECT example. the husband set his boundary and she pretended to be fine with it and then tried to control him
Right? Like I understand not being comfortable with such a close relationship to someones ex wife not just an old ex-gf/bf. But he made it clear very early on that they weren't going anywhere. That was the time to decide if that was a dealbreaker for you. When someone lays a boundary like that, you shouldn't expect or pressure them to budge eventually. If you do, you're extremely manipulative. Ugh she is a freaking devil person!
Man that 4th story absolutely crushed me, I cannot imagine the pain he was going through or the spite and hate and ....evil feelings she carried for so long . It was sickening , and after reading the update in the comments I feel just as sick
Tequila does not have caffeine… the confidence in her voice as she says “it has natural caffeine” wow
I love how calm and level headed Lauren and Morgan are. I was ready to punch the OP of Story 2 in the back of his head.
27:30 i absolutely loved her response, “does it make you feel good to call me that?”
I never really felt bad being single and on Valentine’s Day but I’ve been single for 5 years and this year I’ve been feeling very lonely since I turn 30 next month. I wanted to give a little Valentine’s experience to my girlfriends 🥰 I surprised them with a rose and gifts decorated my apartment with pink and red hearts got some goodies and also got a cookie decorating kit. Got us matching socks. It was so much fun. We really enjoyed it.
Loved this episode. Hope you guys have a great Valentine’s Day.
Was going to mention the bids for affection and then Morgan said it exactly! 😄 They really matter. When your partner asks, no matter how big or small, you give them that attention and love!
my jaw is on the GROUND about the funeral story. regardless of how you felt about her, CLEARLY the relationship was important to him and to just act like her dying meant none of that existed is just cruel. you should be going to the funeral WITH her husband to support him. geezus h christ what is wrong with her???
“I’d cry if I had a parasite…”
Lauren, this is the funniest, wildest in the most glib way and you’ve ever been in this episode. Love to see it 😂❤❤❤❤
Edit: you’re a always awesome but your comments this episode had me spit my water
we need to be a bit more confident with that YTA judgement on the second story. it was straight up, objectively vile what he said. it was both misogynistic (morgan already described perfectly how it is sexist) and inappropriate because of the comment being not only sexual towards another woman while hes in a relationship, but also it was about her friend, which is doubly gross. he then goes on to dismiss her feelings and then ABANDONS her in a tantrum. no matter how pissed off you are with your gf, you do NOT leave her in a dangerous position on her own with no safe way of getting home. this is disturbing behaviour. thank you morgan for giving this judgement the energy it deserves, because honestly, "nuance" and leniency have no place here. we love lauren but pleeeeaaaassseee no hesitating on calling out this misogyny.
not to mention making light of a major surgery :(
@@kikilapoop4278 exactly!
For story three...I first saw it on Instagram and the comments there had a suggestion which I hope isn't true but makes a lot of sense and that is that the sister in law SAed the husband and that's why it's causing him to have such an extreme reaction because the baby might be his. I honestly just hope that it is him cheating or being weird but for some reason that makes the most sense in my mind
Honestly I thought this too. His reactions were very much assault victim reactions. It could be cheating but to me it seems very much like maybe something sinister happened.
Okay I thought that too but immediately told myself it’s too extreme. I hope that’s not what happened.
There was another story similar to this and the husband was in love with the sister. They ended up getting divorced. He was obsessed with her and neither the sil or wife knew. SIL did not feel the same. They even tried to move away from the sister and he still wouldn’t get over it.
Story #1 I feel like the husband is LYING. In a stupid way, maybe he wants her to feel bad and gaslight her. He wants her to feel grateful that he picked her and thankful. Really, who would turn down 5 million dollars? Who would leave 5 million to someone who you blame? Idk that doesn't sit right.
Yes Lauren agrees lol!
Agreeeeeed! SO many red flags.
I feel like he's trying to convince his wife that there's no way he could ever get back with her in order to gain his wife's trust again? Which is so suspicious? Like "if you're having any doubt I'm back with her you're crazy because she's dead" -- super messed up
@@strawberrypanda13 Exactly!! You took the words right out of my mouth haha
@@strawberrypanda13I don't know why people do this kind of voluntarily story telling. They make a story in their head to convince you of why X or Y should, could, would or sh(c/w)ouldn't happen. But instead of making it believable, they create these elaborate side stories, that are actually checkable, and makes them immediately Sus because of the almost supernatural fringe accomplishments that cuts them out to look absolutely better than you know them to be.
My ex did this and the first story you're like huh, (I grew up with a compulsive liar and I smell lying from miles away) but you're willing to believe for the sake of the relationship. Second time you know it's a lie but hey, it's a small talltale and not really important but it makes you think what else is imagined. It's so fucked up because everything they tell from that point on is under scrutiny of your suspicion, even if it's a retelling of something you where there for. Trust comes on foot but really leaves on horseback.
Story 5. DO NOT HAVE A BABY WITH HER. SHE NEEDS HELP and may not like when the husband gives attention to the baby.
She probably doesn't realise that after having kids, all the attention goes to the baby, not the Mum. Mum's "done her job." She'll find out the hard way, and I suspect she'll hate every second of it because of that 😂
What he says about the feeling that she changes personality and that the other personalities don't know about each other, that feeling doesn't come from nowhere. I have a friend who has DID (disassociate identity disorder) and she is exactly like that. Owning up to mistakes but only when she acts like X before. When she has been acting childish before, she's not going to take responsibility and acts out like a child.
Taking DID into consideration, it's easily explained why she would say she's infertile or why she suddenly wants all the attention and has behaviour changes. DID is triggered by traumatic experiences and not conceiving when expected could easily be traumatic for her.
Babyshower answer “do people drink at babyshowers” in the Mexican culture we definitely do 😂
So do us African Americans 😅 It's a party, so we act accordingly. 😂
wow… story 3 where the guy throws up, reminds me of my ex. he said it was anxiety attacks and he didn’t know why it was happening, and then only after we broke up i found out he was cheating on me. really puts things into perspective after all the times he’s been sick/ thrown up
the title is killing me because cage diving has always been my dream and finally did it last summer 😂
Story 6: firstly, she's given him five children & sacrificed so much for him, he should be celebrating everything she's pleased about - even things like she's happy with the way she did her make-up today. How hard is it to say "That's great! I'm so happy for you. I love seeing you be happy."
Secondly, what tf would he know about building a career from scratch? His daddy handed him his job! He didn't have to do anything at all to get a career so it's extra despicable that he's sh*tting on her efforts.
The woman in story 4 is just ridiculous. Even if you did hate her, she's gone! She's dead, you don't have to deal with her anymore. Have the decency & compassion to be there for your husband & comfort him. I wonder what they even had in common 🤔 what did she even like about her husband? Talking about how the things he likes are nerdy & bore her..
Story 5 : I dealt with a similar situation where I was working with my husband to get to a place where we could start trying. Then my BIL gets his girlfriend pregnant. It was so hard to go to family events and everything but I just stayed back because I knew it was better for me to stay distant and deal with my emotions alone or with my husband.
1st story - I think the wife is on the road to learning her husband is a compulsive narcissist liar. She's not dead. He wasn't willed money. All of it's b.s.
Absolutely. It really smells of it. Hopefully. Hopefully that woman moved on and is thriving.
For the GED one: getting your GED opens up SO MANY job opportunities alone! Most places require at least a high school diploma or a GED, so the fact that her husband is completely belittling her accomplishment, tells me that he just wants her to be a stay at home mom forever
Has Lauren done a mold test in her house? I wonder if this could be a factor. Being sick that often has to suck so bad
And get a new carbon monoxide detector if she doesn't have one. That can give you nausea, headaches, etc
Lauren said she was low energy but she was full of zingers and very thoughtful comments! Great job!
For the 3rd story, it could be that he found out he is infertile and hasnt told op. the sil's announcement could have triggered him knowing he can't give his partner a child. My dad cried on his way back after he found out he had issues.
“People don’t get outta med school until their mid 30s!”
Me, in my mid thirties, about to finish my medical training 👁️ 👄 👁️
Story 2: How hard is it to just say, “Oh wow, tell your friend I said congratulations,” and just leave it at that? Why did he have to make “joke”?
Story 3: IDK why people don’t mention this but it could be a trauma response. Her husband could have been SA’d.
I was thinking this too. SA or even if he may be infertile and really wants children
Justin said: here’s an ACTUAL hot take & came in SWINGING😭😂 love to see it
😂😂😂😂 I know hahahaha
it's insane to me how excited i get when episodes come out
1:06:37 my mexican family has so much alcohol at all our baby showers lol
The story with the husbands best friends death. She is WRONG. But he created that insecurity from the beginning with lying by omission about her just being a friend and leaving out that she was an ex WIFE
Here to like all comments having to do with this!
Yoooo I was listening to this while doing house work and all the sudden it skipped back to the first story after your ads.
Spoookkky!!
ooOOOooooOOOOOoooo
Congrats on cage diving, Lauren!!! A bucket list item for myself, for sure! 🦈
Thanks for posting today, THT crew. Just had a traumatic experience with a hair stylist cutting off half my hair (I requested a trim, wtf!?! 😭🤦♀️). This show is a real comfort, and a great distraction. Much love! 💙
42:15 Lauren’s quiet sneeze and then side eyeing the camera made me laugh so hard 😂
Hahahaha wow I didn’t even see that part 😂
"...was bedridden longer than even the doctors expected." As if that's her failure. Like he's thinking, "why can't you get your sh!t together and heal already? Your difficult birth of our twins is SO inconvenient for me." JFC I can't even. What an unbelievable POS. She deserves so much better and so do their children, who are learning that THIS is what a marriage should be. My heart breaks for her and her children.
Should you ever read this, you're amazing, mama! I am PROUD of you! Sending all the virtual hugs!
Second story: Even if she completely blew the joke out of proportion and called him a pathetic loser, you do not leave a woman, your PARTNER, at a restaurant alone with no way of contacting you and no way of getting home. What if her phone was dead? What if someone offered her a ride and she never made it home like wtffff
Lol Pen Bagley 😂
7 stories?!! 😮 we don’t deserve this ❤
Laughing at blues clues and tigger 😂
The biggest hype man me, my husband and our son have is my ex. I would be lost without his friendship and he's still one of my favorite people on the planet. My husband understands that some people just don't work out romantically and he loves my ex, too! The loss of his life is something that would break my and my husband's hearts. I cannot even imagine someone telling my I can't miss my friend once he was gone all because we used to be together. What a cold, heartless and insecure woman. I hope she gets the therapy and healing she desperately needs!
