(00:01):
My fiance cheated on me with my father.
Join me as I dive into some of the wildest Reddit stories that
are guaranteed to leave a speechless Let's do a bestie.
(00:32):
Let's be honest, finding actually good stories online is
like digging through a landfill hoping to find a diamonds.
Most of it click bait, copy paste nonsense or some guy
ranting. About his toaster or some jar he
filled. Bad memories, OK.
But Reddit? Reddit is a.
Glorious exception. It's the internet's Wild West.
(00:55):
Unfiltered, chaotic, and somehowfilled with some of the most
jaw-dropping real life stories you'll ever read.
And of course, AI bots. But it's the Internet.
It's like humanity's group chat.And trust me, it gets weird.
These stories for this episode will focus on revenge and family
(01:17):
drama. It's crazy.
Like look at that title. Look at this title.
For my audio stemmers, I'm aboutto read it.
But for my visualers over on YouTube.
Are you saying what I'm saying? My fiance cheated on me with my
father. Let's read it.
(01:38):
Me 27 male fiance 26 female. Call her.
L. My father 52, male call him B.
My mother 50 female, call her R.It's a lot of.
Names remember? OK, that's all right.
Like many who have had somethinglike this happen, I never
thought something like this would happen to me, but here we
(02:00):
are. I've never used Reddit but I've
seen stories from here on TikTokso I thought I'd give this a
shot. For any advice you all could.
Give me from listening to some other.
Stories You all like a little back story.
Hell yeah. Dude has done his homework.
He knows. What the people yearn for.
They also really like comments. Anyways, I'll try to be as.
(02:21):
Clear and precise as I can, but it's only been a week since this
has happened, so OK, fresh. Fair enough.
Elle and I met in her freshman year of college.
We were both dorming in the samebuilding where we eventually
met. We later found out we live 2
towns away from each other so whenever we went home I let her
drive with me. It was like only adding 20
(02:43):
minutes or so, so it wasn't a big deal.
After multiple trips and hangingout at school we started to
date. I have a close knit family, as
did she, so we told our familiesright away.
I had met hers plenty of times when dropping her off but it was
nothing more than an introduction and exchanging like
interactions. Both of our families accepted
(03:03):
each other with open arms. OK so wait when when does this
go bad? When does this go bad?
This sounds like your normal Hallmark movie.
I was a year ahead of her so when I graduated I went home
where I was offered a good job with great pay.
Like I said, Hallmark bro. I visited her at school whenever
(03:24):
I got the chance and whenever she came home she would make
time for each other. After she graduated she moved in
with me as both of her jobs werein the city near.
Where we grew up. Like me, she was offered a
position at a company she works at now with great pay.
Why did she destroy like something perfect?
OK, after living together for about 3 years I proposed and we
(03:49):
have been planning our wedding since.
Wow three years? Three years to plan?
OK fair enough, fair enough, at your own pace.
It's your relationship. Now on to the part y'all are
reading for. Looking back, there was plenty
of things I overlooked that I just wrote off thinking my
father was just trying to welcome my ex into our family.
(04:15):
So sad that. He had to write that sentence, I
mean this post in general, but that sentence that that came
from the gut things like my father calling her all the time
and if I was around. They would just tell me they
were talking about the upcoming family party or something along
those lines. One time Elle was in the shower
and her phone rang. I seen it was my dad, so I
(04:36):
answered. When he realized it was me, he
sounded both upset and surprisedthat I picked up.
I then asked what's up. He responded that he wanted to
talk to Elle about my mother's birthday.
That was in a week and after a minute we ended the call.
You know damn well he stored that.
He stored that situation in the back of his mind because it felt
(04:59):
wrong. But you can't be sad about.
Your dad calling about your mom's birthday.
You know what I mean? Like it's it's it's, it's called
a gut. Feeling on the day I found out
it was like any other day. Elle had Thursdays off so when
she made breakfast for both of us when I set out for work she
gave me a kiss and told me to have a great day.
(05:21):
During my drive to work I realized I had forgotten some
paperwork I would need for a meeting.
I had it three PMI, shrugged it off and told myself I would just
go home at lunch to get it. L texted me throughout the day
talking about all the casual stuff a couple talks about like
what did you want for dinner, I did the laundry, do you want me
to hang it up for you blah blah blah blah.
I didn't think it necessary to text her I was coming home for
(05:42):
lunch so when it came around I just left work and went home.
Surprise bitch. When I got home, I noticed a car
that looked like my father's in our parking lot, but I didn't
think anything of it and just parked and went into our
building. When I opened the door, I was
met with the scene out of a movie where a man comes home
early and catches his spouse cheating.
(06:06):
Such a cliche, damn. There was a trail of clothes,
both his and hers, leading to mybedroom, and the sound of faint
moans echoed through my apartment.
I stood at the door in utter shock.
My brain was a mix of rage, sadness, and disgust, but if you
(06:27):
were a family on the wall you would see what looked like a
statue. I just couldn't move.
When I finally snapped too, not knowing how much time had
passed, I took out my phone to record.
I picked up all the clothes thatwere on the floor and threw them
in the hall of the building. Good on you for getting
evidence. Holy shit the amount of times.
(06:50):
Adrenaline just overlooks the idea of evidence gathering,
which I don't blame you, I do not blame you.
It's called fight or flight, notfilm and record.
Oh man, OK. When I finally stopped too, not
knowing how much time had passed, I took out my phone,
recorded, picked up all the clothes that were on the floor
(07:12):
and threw them into the hall of the building.
After I filmed the walk to my bedroom, the door was open.
I stood on the doorway filming for about a minute, then flipped
on the lights. They both jumped at the sudden
light and looked at me into my utter shock.
It was my father in the bed withher.
After the initial stun my fathernoticed I was recording and
started to panic, trying to findanything to cover himself and
(07:34):
telling me to stop recording. The fucking balls on his.
This this dad man, the fucking balls.
Damn. He found a towel and wrapped it
around himself and started to walk toward me.
I told him if you don't want to get hurt, stop coming to me.
He either didn't care or didn't hear me and reached for my
(07:54):
phone. I hit him square in the jaw.
That's what you fucking get you.Honestly he should have hit the
other head if. You know what I mean.
Jesus. OK.
His head bounced off the door and slumped to the ground.
L shrieked. I aimed the camera at L and said
concerned. About your fuck buddy.
(08:16):
But nothing to say to your fiance.
My father woke up after about a minute nap and I told him I just
needed to come pick something upfor work.
So I'm hitting back now. If either of you pieces of shit
are here when I get back I'll send this video to everyone you
know and post it on Reddit. He didn't actually say he was
(08:36):
going to post it on Reddit for my audio listeners.
I ended the video, looked at my dad who is still coming to, and
said you're dead to me, you're no longer my father, but you
might want to go home and talk to mom because I'll be talking
to her very soon. I sat in my car for a while
until one of the bosses at work called to ask where I was.
I told her I was on my way back right now.
When I got to her office to handher the paperwork I must have
(08:58):
looked awful because she startedasking what was wrong with me.
Well duh dude. I don't think it takes like a
medical professional to know what trauma looks like on
someone's face like that. Fresh trauma specifically may I
add. I told her it was nothing and
I'll be OK. I could see her scanning me up
and down and she noticed some bloat on my collar and stood up
rushed to me and said you're bleeding.
(09:19):
I looked down and said it was myfather's I.
Don't think that's what you should have said if you didn't
want to talk about it because now she has to make a report if
you. Really don't want to talk about
it. Oh man.
She looked confused so I pulled out my.
Phone and showed her the video. What?
Whoa, whoa. HRHR now has to see this video.
(09:42):
Oh my gosh. OK.
She watched it and it's entirelyShe was introduced to Elle a few
times, but never my father. She sat there silent for a
moment until it finally clicked that my fiance was cheating on
me. But not only was she cheating,
it was with my father. She asked if there was anything
she could do, suggesting I take some time off, but I told her I
can't go back there right now. Good boss, really good boss.
(10:05):
That I just ended a minute and I'll be fine for the meeting and
I have another shirt in my office.
You know what he should have said?
He should have said no. I have to finish the.
Shift because I have to pay for a lawyer.
Oh man, OK. The meeting went over fine.
I put on a smile for everyone like nothing had happened.
Good job. Good job.
(10:26):
My boss came up to me after the meeting and asked how I could do
that, but I just said I don't know.
It went to my office and then came home and I was alone for
the first time in a very long time.
Thank you for reading. I'm sorry I carried on so much.
Not at all. Not at all.
But it was therapeutic getting everything down.
I just don't know what to do. I definitely need to get the
hell out of this apartment. Yeah, the walls are tainted.
(10:48):
The walls are tainted just like your heart.
I just can't live here anymore. There's no possible way I'm
sleeping in that bed. I know not only do I have to go
get checked out for STD's, but Ithink I broke something in my
hands. Sheesh.
OK, let's see what Reddit has tosay about this one.
Top comments. So glad you found out before the
wedding. So happy it took three years.
(11:11):
Me. I I I take back my confusion and
shock of that next comment. Did you tell your mother?
Personally I think you handled it well considering this dude
fucking reads Reddit stories. Not only did he know that people
like background, he definitely definitely knows what makes a
(11:31):
good story and what's he's a good storyteller and what you
need to do in situations like this.
So I'm taking a look at Opie's account to see if he oh there
are multiple updates. I was just looking for an update
like comments. Hold on now I got to find this.
(11:52):
We got to go to his actual account.
Look at his post. What?
Are you seeing what I'm seeing? For my audio summers there is
the original post we just read Part 2, Part 3 and an 8 month
update. Let's read these really quick.
(12:13):
Part 2 Wow hello everyone, I didn't expect this to come back
to Reddit and have this much support.
I didn't really plan to update at all, I just wanted to put
what had happened out there and hopefully get some advice.
After I wrote down all that happened I closed my computer
and kind of fell into a depression.
Honestly I don't blame you. After I posted it hit me like a
(12:35):
train. To the ones who think it's fake.
I wish I was this creative. I'd write books instead of
working A9 to. Five bro has got jokes.
I'll try to replay more on this post.
I just logged back in and it washonestly too much to try and
reply to every comment. Just know I read through most of
them blah blah blah blah. So the day after I posted I
tried to get into contact with my mother but none of my calls
(12:56):
were connecting. Did the dad?
Block the son's number or what the fuck?
I wanted to see if she would getlunch with me and I'd tell her
everything. After about a dozen tries, I
decided to get into my car and go to my mother's house.
She needed to know what has happened as soon as possible,
even if talking about it was going to make it hurt all over
(13:19):
again. During the drive, I thought
about what I would say and how Iwould say it.
That made me start to panic. I had to pull over twice to
throw up. It's not every day you have to
tell your mom that her husband is screwing your fiance.
Holy shit I need a. Little water break.
(13:39):
I need a little water break. I'm a little parched by this
drama. Hold on, take a little water
break real quick. With me hold on, we we got to
think about. This real quick man, I hope that
these other updates he he, he's happy and he's remarried right,
(13:59):
right. We we want that for him, right?
OK. Water break all done.
Everybody hydrated, let's get into it.
I pulled into the driveway and sat in my car for a moment to
calm down and gather my thoughts.
I was in my car for a few minutes when my mother threw her
front door open so I stepped outof my car.
(14:23):
She started cursing at me, saying how dare I come to her
home after I hit my father for trying to break up a fight
between Elle and I. A.
Fight is the story you're going to fucking tell your wife.
You're you're delusional bro, you're delusional.
(14:46):
I don't know if he like has any brothers because I for sure know
that this probably is not the first time there's been like a
family reunion love triangle. The fuck?
Shame on you. She called me every name in the
book and called me an abuser. She told me I needed to leave
since Elle isn't ready to forgive me and that it's she's
(15:06):
smart. She'll hopefully never will.
Yes, apparently my father took Elle to my family's home and
told my mom that Elle and I argued and when she when my
father tried to spot it I hid him.
She continued on for a while until I finally snapped and said
really mom? Because your husband is fucking
my fiance, that's why I hid him.And if you can't take my word
(15:28):
for it, I have a video, I'll send it to you.
But because my own mother can't talk to me like this, don't
expect to see me again. I don't want to hear your
apology when you finally figure out that you're just as shit of
a mom as my piece of shit father.
OK, Whoa, whoa. I get it.
(15:49):
I get it, bro. I get it, bro.
I get it bro. The Father, the father and El.
It takes 2 to T2 to tango. Right.
I don't think it took three to tango for this one.
Your mom, your mom, your mom's victim too bro.
Your mom was manipulated too by this.
This fucking father of yours. Get it though, because holy shit
bro, I get it. I mean I don't get it, but I get
(16:12):
it in like a mental brain breakdown process it.
Sorry, let me put it like the cool kids.
Say this is a valid crash out. OK?
Her face dropped. She looked like what I must have
looked like when I first walked into my apartment and caught
them. I pulled out my phone and sent
(16:34):
her the video. My mom took hers out and turned
it on. She pulled up the video and
watched up until the part where I turn on the lights.
She then put her phone down. She looked up at me but I turned
and went into my car. I backed out of the driveway.
I looked at her before I took off and she was in tears.
(16:56):
My heart felt for her, but too much was said during that fight
for me to pull back in and forgive her.
Fair because like, even if. The story that the father said
happened, that wasn't really a valid crash out on the mom's
part because like, come on dude,come in.
Come on, mom. Come on, Mama.
(17:17):
What the hell? When I got home I started
cleaning everything out of my apartment that had to do with
Elle or my family. Oh man, I just realized that he
lost both. Not just father and not just
(17:38):
fiance, but family as well. Fuck.
I boxed all of Elle's things up and put them next to the front
door. Legally this has been her place
of residence so I can't technically kick her out.
Her name isn't on the lease. Also, she's the type of person
who shies away from conflict andif she returns, other than to
(17:59):
pick up her things, there will be plenty of conflict.
Anything that had to do with my parents I boxed up and put into
storage. Like I said in my first post, we
were a very close family but I've never had a problem cutting
toxic people out of my life. I texted Elle's parents and told
them calling off the engagement and told them she's been
cheating on me. I thank them for everything
(18:21):
they've done for me. Our relationship was still
building but they were kind and supportive of me so this just
added more hurt to the mix. I finished up asking if they
would come pick up all of her belongings.
I haven't gotten a response fromthem yet but I'm hoping they
come grab her things so Elle doesn't have a reason to come
back here. Damn.
(18:46):
Honestly bro, I'm shocked that you're just not like trying to
fuck his mom. Top comment.
Real quick, let's just read the first one of this one and we're
going to immediately steamroll the other updates.
Top comment. I figured he lied when your
mother wasn't answering. She must have said some stupid
shit for her to leave like that.The balls on your dad to bring L
to your mother. Someone would get stabbed in my
(19:08):
social circle. Well puts, well well well puts.
Oh no, I closed it. I mean, I'm just scrolling for
my, for my audio listeners. All right, we're going to go to
update #3. I'm not sure how far apart these
(19:28):
are posted. I would assume, well, the first
three. So the one we read, the second
one we just read, and the third one were posted two years ago.
And then the most recent one wasposted a year ago, which was an
8 month update. So that's, that's the time
frame. Do the math.
I'm not. Here's Part 3.
Hey everyone, I'm sorry I haven't updated in a while.
(19:48):
I wish I could say everything's fine but that's a lie.
Everything hits me in waves. I go from just being numb to
boiling with rage. I haven't had a happy moment
since I found out that is. In all seriousness, that is
called grieving. There is no correct way to
grieve. And it's a fucking circle of
pinging bullshit emotions. Not bullshit in the sense of
it's bullshit, but bullshit to deal with because it sucks.
(20:12):
It sucks. Other than a few friends I
really don't have anyone in reallife, especially since my family
turned out to be shit. Quite a few things happened
since I posted. It's been about a month so this
update will tell all that's beengoing on.
All right, correct your math. You got another time frame
update, you get about a month. OK, after my Last Post I decided
(20:35):
to get the ball rolling on everything that needed to be
done like getting tested, finding a therapist, moving, and
of course buying a new bed. That shit's.
Expensive. Add that to the lawyer fees.
I started by calling my doctor'soffice telling them I need to
get tested and to refer me to a therapist.
I had my first appointment with the therapist two weeks ago and
we decided to continue once a week.
(20:57):
I also got tested last week, butI'll be another week or so until
I get the results so cross your fingers.
For me. I got in touch with a real
estate agent friend of mine and they sent me a ton of listings
and I decided on a refurbished cabin on the outskirts of my
city. I finished moving 2 days ago
that is. Fucking hands in the chat for
OPWSWS in the chat hands clap. Everybody clap with me.
(21:19):
Woo. Hoo.
Yes, you. I know you're not clapping.
I see you over there on the chair.
Clap. Thank you, Nurse.
Oh man, sorry for anyone that was showering listening to this.
You probably just got water evenmore everywhere.
That's what you said. But for real, that, that's
awesome. A cabin, bro, Let's go.
When I finished moving, I calledElle's parents.
When they picked up, I told themI moved out and Elle has still
(21:40):
yet to pick up her things and that the landlord will start
showing the apartment in a few days, so somebody better pick
her things up before the landlord throws it out.
That must have lit a fire under them because the next day my
former landlord texted me thanking me for getting the
apartment emptied out. No one knows where I live now
other than the friend who set meup with his with this place so I
know Elle and my parents won't be dropping by.
(22:03):
The only thing that sucks about this place is I traded a 10
minute walk to work to a 45 minute drive.
That's OK man, that's OK. Facebook marketplace you can get
a bunch of different shit boxes and just rotate them.
You know it'll be fine it'll be fine you'll hopefully you'll
find like a better job. You know, I mean, everything
(22:24):
else is changing. No, because.
His his boss. Is really cool, I kind of don't
want him to lose that. What if he falls in love with
that boss? OK anyways I'm getting over
myself. My phone has been blowing up
with texts from calls from my from Elle, both my parents and
some of my friends. But I have no interest in
talking to anyone other than my therapist.
I work up in a ghost. I go and get my work done and
leave. On the rare occasion I have to
(22:45):
talk to someone, I put on a fakesmile and pretend everything is
OK. My boss from my previous post
has been trying to check in on me more but I don't really tell
her anything. I just tell her I appreciate it
but I'm OK. Truth is, I don't know if I'll
be OK. I get that time heals and all,
but I feel like that's only relevant when you're dealing
with one issue, not when you lose who you thought were the
three closest people in your life all at once.
(23:08):
A huge part of me died and there's no chance of saving it.
Time heals, but time also doesn't heal.
And let me explain OK for for you, my friend, for my friend
listening, listening in to me ramble.
OK if you use the phrase. Time heals and only use the
(23:31):
phrase time heals. Nothing fucking changes right?
I mean things will change because that's just what
happens. Everything is consistently
changing based on any decision you make, let alone what you eat
for breakfast or if you decide to quit your job.
Like it's, it has the same type of like change in life, like
different impacts, but it still gives the same power.
(23:52):
Like it'll influence other things that fall into place,
right? Time will heal.
If you use time to heal, you have to do something in this
time. You can't just wait for it to
fall into place 'cause that's not how that works.
And that's where you have issueswith PTSD and you have issues
(24:12):
with grief you. It's maladaptive behaviors, and
I mean, I think you're doing very well.
However, I would really wish. That you brought up to your
therapist like like this post, like I hope you have shared this
Reddit account because obviouslyit's a throwaway account.
(24:35):
We we, we've checked it and it only has these because there are
a lot. Of things pinging the way he the
OP. Wrote this that just shows.
So much sadness, so much sadness.
But you know, don't, just don't just say time heals and expect
it to fucking work. It doesn't work like that.
(24:55):
You can't manifest change. Sorry.
You can manifest the mentality. To act on subconsciously.
Manifestation doesn't work in a way of laziness.
Let's continue the story. Oh, a huge part of me died and
(25:16):
there's no chance of saving it. Yep.
No, that's that's a really good point to make because you're
moving on. You're noticing a difference.
Your life unfortunately, will most likely be a before and
after. And this is the incident that
marks that. The meetings with my therapist
are going well, I suppose. I never done therapy before so I
have no reference on what good therapy is.
(25:37):
We do get along right and she seems genuine and wanting to
help. The first session was us getting
to know each other and delving into what brings me to her.
Nothing in depth but me just telling her what happens in my
own words. The second session we went a bit
deeper. She asked me about the
relationship I had with my parents.
I told her up until now it was great.
We talked often and always communicated well when something
(25:58):
was wrong and that I grew up in a great home, but that's all
means nothing now. She asked why I cut my mother
out of my life. I told her She said things to me
I wouldn't say to someone I despise.
Then told her there's no way shecan come back from that good
boundary setting. But that's perfectly fine.
The way you responded, this is however you want to.
At the end of our last session Igave her the link to my page on
(26:21):
here so we I, I. Swear I did not read this
earlier. I swear I just, I just care
about helping people too, OK? OK.
You can't. You can't blame a Good Samaritan
for just wanting to read Reddit post and give good advice.
I told you. I told you so.
That's crazy. OK, at the end of our last
session I gave her the link to my page on here so she can read
(26:42):
more about how I feel and what'sgoing on in my head.
I feel like it's easier to type things out when it is to speak
it. So if you're reading this high
doc. For now, I'm still miserable.
I thought I'd be OK by now. Not necessarily happy, but OK.
I know some of it is my own fault.
I'm not communicating to my friends, but then I think about
responding to them. It just seems so exhausting.
(27:05):
I know they'll want to get together or come to my new
place, but I just don't have theenergy to be around them.
Take your time Opie. That's all right.
A new friend if you find yourself in a situation like
this. Sometimes recharging is the best
thing to do in this type of situation.
Not saying that you were in OP situation, but if you ever feel
(27:27):
like you just don't want to be around people that that's OK.
You don't have to always be around people.
No. You can take a second OK, but
you also need to have a set boundary for.
Yourself, because it can go bad,Really.
Fast, especially when it comes to depression.
Back to the story, until I do, I'll work, go to my appointments
(27:50):
and sit on my back deck sipping on some bottom shelf whiskey and
try to enjoy this beautiful view.
You deserve more than bottom shelf.
I haven't haunted since high school, so maybe I'll take that
up again now that I can hunt from my back porch.
Thank you all for reading this far.
(28:11):
Wow, let's see what Reddit has to say about this one.
Going down to the comments, tough comment being there are a
lot of us following this and polling for you.
We admire you and the way you'vehandled yourself.
Another one wanting to know whatO PS ex had to say better be
worth the audacity. Very curious.
(28:32):
I do want to know. I do want to know and right
here. Like I just said, remember
boundaries are what you allow inyour life.
You, and as obvious only you have your own wall being as a
priority. It is 100% acceptable and
understandable to not allow any of those people back into your
life. I'm glad you're getting your
(28:52):
therapy. Learn to let go of any hate you
may have. The old proverb hate is like
drinking poison and hoping another person dies from it.
I like that. Which is in no way shape or form
mean you should bend those boundaries unless you change
your minds. Only change the boundaries for
you, not for other people. That's why he's called Badgers.
(29:16):
The fuck? Let's go.
Ahead and see his last and finalupdate.
It was the Hopefully it's not the final one.
I mean it's was posted a year ago and it's 2025 so I hope we
might get one this year. Let's do it with the 8 month
(29:37):
update. Hey everyone, sorry I've been
Mia for a while now. It's OK Opie only took us like
what this episode that is flying.
I'm writing this update to let y'all know I'm alive and to give
you the lockdown of what's been happening as of recent.
OK buckle in cowboy. First, I want to apologize to
(29:59):
those who've worried about me the past few months.
After my Last Post. I was nowhere near OK, so I
pulled back from everything. I secluded myself in order to
heal and cope with what is now my life.
OK, I know I. Keep interrupting.
Keep interrupting but. Listen to me, hear me out on
(30:20):
this. So not a lot of people point
this stuff out, OK? Apologizing for people who care
about you. That right there in itself just
screams that you don't want to take.
Up space. And if you don't want other.
People to worry? About you.
(30:42):
That means you don't worry aboutyourself.
Don't get me wrong. You can worry about yourself,
right? Those don't go hand in hand.
You know what I mean? Like.
If you worry about. Yourself, other people will
worry about you, but if you apologize for worrying other
people when you. Clearly don't.
Worry about. Yourself because hello the
(31:03):
situation the way that. It's been going, his depression
and all that. It is just a huge indicator that
confidence needs to be grown because it's OK if people care
about you or, or we can go even deeper and realize that you have
no control on the way people want to think about you or not.
(31:23):
Whether it be the way they perceive you, whether it be the
way they even care about a situation you're going on or
anything. Whether it be yes, no, in
between. You don't even need to really
address it as many times. That's all I have to say.
You can thank people for it, butto apologize, come on.
Come on Opie. Let's hopefully, hopefully his
(31:45):
therapist caught that right? Hopefully his therapist caught
that. OK, so I pulled back from
everything. I secluded myself in order to
heal and cope with what has donemy life.
I want you to know every commentand message didn't fall on deaf
ears. I took all of your positive
feedback and advice and worked through my problems.
So to the people who supported me through this, truly thank
(32:06):
you. I can't stress it.
Should have just said thank you bro, even if it was Internet
strangers that were there for me.
So again thank you all. In my Last Post I was doing
things like getting tested for STD's and trying to restart my
life. I'm happy to inform you I am
clean. Oh, round of applause.
Round of applause and chats. No STD's from your dad.
(32:27):
Let's go. Oh man, someone write a book.
Someone. Write a book.
I'm fully motivated into my new place.
When I told you all about my newplace, I told you it was
refurbished cabin. Well, I might have been a little
generous. It was refurbished almost 2530
years ago so it was a bit dated.Well, with all my new found free
(32:49):
time I decided to actually refurbish it and all that's left
to do is paint the guest room that I turned into an office.
The only thing I didn't do myself was the electric and
plumbing. Fair enough because I have no
clue how to do it and have 0 interest in being shocked or
putting my hand in a shit covered pipe.
(33:09):
Fantastic move on that one Opie.Doing all the work has been
incredibly stress releasing and has helped me clear my head.
I still see my therapist once a week.
To all those who suggested it's,you probably saved my life so
thank you. Getting my frustrations out and
get the advice I need has been better than anything in my life
(33:30):
past or present. I'm still working at the same
company. I've become more open with my Co
workers that I'm closer with andmy boss from my previous post
due to the advice from my therapist.
Are we going to? Get an update going I'm I'm with
my boss. Also due to her and some of your
advice I've reached out to my friends and have slowly been
(33:52):
reintegrating into the group again.
Good job at your own pace OP. Now on to the update that's been
going on between my family and Acts.
I decided I was ready to have a talk with my mother.
What? He actually reached back out to
his mom. I am blocked her on my phone to
(34:15):
reach out. I called and almost instantly
she picked up the phone. I could tell through the tone of
her voice she was panicking. Damn dude.
Eventually after reassuring it was me, I told her we should
meet and talk. She agreed and a day later we
(34:35):
met at dinner near her house. She was there before I was and
when she saw me she started quietly sobbing.
Keep in mind, I know she. Said bad shit, but she's.
Kind of going to the same thing.She lost her partner, she lost
her family. Like if anything, she didn't
(34:57):
have to like, walk into it. And I mean.
You had, she had a. Kid with hers so it hers is a.
Little bit more. Complex than his if we really
want to start comparing sides. I don't know what do you think
who who would have it worse, themom or the son?
(35:22):
Because yeah, the son got bitched at.
And get cheated on by fiance anddad and the mom was like Nah
fuck you too and didn't even care about the fucking story.
But then you have mom that got lied to.
Obviously wasn't the first time she got cheated on.
Probably the same thing for the son.
There's no way that the fiance first time she wanted to cheat
(35:44):
was with the dad anyways. You're with the mom, you lose
your husband, you, well, you getlied to and you lose your
husband, you lose your family, then you lose your son.
But then your son doesn't even want to know your side of the
story. So they both didn't want to know
either one side of the story because they were both like used
honestly against each other. By the by the motherfucking
(36:06):
fiance and the motherfucking dad.
But that's a lot of years of marriage and you have kids.
Like, I don't know, curious. I'm curious in your take.
I I personally think the mom went through worse.
That's all I have to say on thatone.
When I sat, OK hold on, let me, let me find, let me find where
(36:28):
it was. I found where it was.
OK. She was there before I was and
when she saw me she quietly was sobbing.
When I sat, she apologized over and over again, telling me she
can only take their word becauseshe never thought them getting
together would ever happen. Valid, I told her while I
appreciate appreciate her apology, the things she said to
me were despicable and somethingno mother should ever say to
(36:51):
their child and it showed me exactly what she thought of me.
She prayed harder in promise. It's not true that when she was
told I hit my father for no reason, she was so angry and
when I showed up to the house she just let her anger take
over. Valid crash out.
Not wanting to go back and forthwith her, I decided to move on
and I said Speaking of that. Piece of shit.
(37:12):
What have you decided to do withhim?
Hopefully she took out the trash, right?
She told me they've been separated.
She just kicked them out since the day after I sent her the
video and she immediately found a lawyer.
I know that lawyer was. Like.
Oh boy, fucking there's my down payment on my next yacht.
(37:33):
Oh man. Then we moved on to my ex.
She said that when I pulled awayshe went back into the house and
threw them both out. She was too disgusted to look at
them. We talked for about an hour in
total. Before I left.
OK, I told her I was in a dark part of my life and because of
the things she said to me, I didn't have my mother when I
(37:55):
needed her and because of that Idon't know if I could have her
in my life. Well, she could say the same
thing. About not having her son when
they're her husband. Like did the unthinkable to both
of them. So it kind of goes both ways.
I then told her I'm willing to work on my relationship with her
but it will be at my own pace. Good I I good work OP, at your
(38:20):
own pace. That's like what I.
Keep telling you bro. She stopped me before I can
leave and told me she has to tell me something important.
I sat backed down and she said that Elle is pregnant.
Elle showed up to the house. And told my mom.
(38:43):
She said she didn't know if it'smine or my father's.
Elle asked if I had been in touch so she can let me know.
Obviously she hasn't, so my mom just sent her on her way.
Well, that's about it for the update.
I have a lot on my mind, not sure what to do or feel.
Thank you for reading. Sorry for rambling, rambling on
(39:04):
and on. So like if this is his.
Kid, is he going to? Have to be liable for child
support like because there's no way.
Obviously he's not going to be fucking raising it.
How would that work? Would he?
Need like immediately need to get a restraining order.
So that like it's just completely.
Separated and it's like Toodalooon your own.
But then again, I think that it would.
Really hold up in court and I don't think he.
(39:25):
Would he have to? Let's search that up.
Let's search that. Up.
I don't know. Hold on, would you have to play
child support in a case where the child could be your
father's? Google's will be like.
What did you guys say? OK, in a legal sense, if a child
(39:52):
could be your father's, you would not be obligated to pay
child support. Child support obligations are
typically determined by established paternity, meaning
the legal father, not just the biological father.
If adna test shows that you are not the child's biological
father, you generally do not have a legal duty to provide
financial support. Well, duh.
(40:15):
Hold on, that was Google AI. Let's talk to our.
Home Girl ChatGPT So if your fiance cheated on you with your
father and it turns and she got pregnant and it turns out the
(40:39):
baby is yours, do you have to pay?
Child support. Let's see.
Yes, you could be required to pay child support if the baby is
legally determined to be yours, regardless of the betrayal or
family drama involved. Here's how it breaks down.
(41:01):
If DNA confirms you are the biological father, you are
legally responsible for the child, even if your ex fiance
cheated on you with your father.Child support laws focus on the
best interests of the child, notthe circumstances of conception.
Emotional betrayal like the fiance cheating with the father
does not exempt you from legal parental responsibilities.
(41:23):
OK, if the baby ends up being your father's, you would not
have to pay. Whoa Dang, so Opie's fucked if
it's his swimmer, you know? Maybe that's why we're not
having any updates like a year ago, 8 month update and she was
(41:45):
seven months. Pregnant, right?
That's what it said, right? What the hell, dude?
No, no, I I'm I'm referring to acomment he actually.
Posted that I saw, let's read itreal quick.
To add, of course I'll be getting ADNA test.
There was also some comments asking if the claim is actually
(42:09):
real valid. Ella came to my mother's house
around seven months pregnant. Like first of all, it's nine
months to have a motherfucking child if it's full term.
Most babies are full term these days.
They usually like pop out a couple.
Weeks early, right? Did did she?
(42:30):
Like try to like trap a different dude.
That wasn't at all like related to this family and it just
didn't fucking work out after the first seven months.
So she's like fuck, I need moneyfrom someone so might as well
get it from them. And no, it's probably was an
encrypted pregnancy, which is like where you have no symptoms
(42:52):
or anything because the mom noticed that she was seven
months. You know what I mean?
Whatever, but I'm almost positive she can tell when
someone's seven months pregnant.Also, there's not much of an
update for my dad because I don't know much.
Neither did my mom, so she had nothing to share.
Bro this fucking girl and Opie replied to Black thumb.
(43:14):
Why do you have any house plantsyet?
And if not, why not? Ah, because you know, you need
a, you need a, you know, green thumb.
But use. His.
Black thumb. OK, Opie.
Opie got the jokes. Opie got the jokes and that's
it. There's nothing else.
We're all like, cooked out of a good ending.
(43:36):
Damn, an Opie kind of was too inthat situation.
Oh, no, dude. Like there's no other comments.
Like if I go into comments. So we had the black flum we have
the seven months we have. I'm just trying to be civil.
A small chance of running into them.
(43:57):
Yeah, There's nothing. There's no other updates.
It's done. That's it.
Well, I guess it's just you and me, and an ending that we can
only imagine in our wildest dreams.
How we? Wanted it to really ends so
that's a plus right? I don't know, maybe we all need
(44:20):
therapy after this one. You have been listening to
Reddit radio. Catch you on the next frequency.
My fiance cheated on me with my father.
Join me as I dive into some of the wildest Reddit stories that
are guaranteed to leave a speechless Let's do a bestie.
(00:32):
Let's be honest, finding actually good stories online is
like digging through a landfill hoping to find a diamonds.
Most of it click bait, copy paste nonsense or some guy
ranting. About his toaster or some jar he
filled. Bad memories, OK.
But Reddit? Reddit is a.
Glorious exception. It's the internet's Wild West.
(00:55):
Unfiltered, chaotic, and somehowfilled with some of the most
jaw-dropping real life stories you'll ever read.
And of course, AI bots. But it's the Internet.
It's like humanity's group chat.And trust me, it gets weird.
These stories for this episode will focus on revenge and family
(01:17):
drama. It's crazy.
Like look at that title. Look at this title.
For my audio stemmers, I'm aboutto read it.
But for my visualers over on YouTube.
Are you saying what I'm saying? My fiance cheated on me with my
father. Let's read it.
(01:38):
Me 27 male fiance 26 female. Call her.
L. My father 52, male call him B.
My mother 50 female, call her R.It's a lot of.
Names remember? OK, that's all right.
Like many who have had somethinglike this happen, I never
thought something like this would happen to me, but here we
(02:00):
are. I've never used Reddit but I've
seen stories from here on TikTokso I thought I'd give this a
shot. For any advice you all could.
Give me from listening to some other.
Stories You all like a little back story.
Hell yeah. Dude has done his homework.
He knows. What the people yearn for.
They also really like comments. Anyways, I'll try to be as.
(02:21):
Clear and precise as I can, but it's only been a week since this
has happened, so OK, fresh. Fair enough.
Elle and I met in her freshman year of college.
We were both dorming in the samebuilding where we eventually
met. We later found out we live 2
towns away from each other so whenever we went home I let her
drive with me. It was like only adding 20
(02:43):
minutes or so, so it wasn't a big deal.
After multiple trips and hangingout at school we started to
date. I have a close knit family, as
did she, so we told our familiesright away.
I had met hers plenty of times when dropping her off but it was
nothing more than an introduction and exchanging like
interactions. Both of our families accepted
(03:03):
each other with open arms. OK so wait when when does this
go bad? When does this go bad?
This sounds like your normal Hallmark movie.
I was a year ahead of her so when I graduated I went home
where I was offered a good job with great pay.
Like I said, Hallmark bro. I visited her at school whenever
(03:24):
I got the chance and whenever she came home she would make
time for each other. After she graduated she moved in
with me as both of her jobs werein the city near.
Where we grew up. Like me, she was offered a
position at a company she works at now with great pay.
Why did she destroy like something perfect?
OK, after living together for about 3 years I proposed and we
(03:49):
have been planning our wedding since.
Wow three years? Three years to plan?
OK fair enough, fair enough, at your own pace.
It's your relationship. Now on to the part y'all are
reading for. Looking back, there was plenty
of things I overlooked that I just wrote off thinking my
father was just trying to welcome my ex into our family.
(04:15):
So sad that. He had to write that sentence, I
mean this post in general, but that sentence that that came
from the gut things like my father calling her all the time
and if I was around. They would just tell me they
were talking about the upcoming family party or something along
those lines. One time Elle was in the shower
and her phone rang. I seen it was my dad, so I
(04:36):
answered. When he realized it was me, he
sounded both upset and surprisedthat I picked up.
I then asked what's up. He responded that he wanted to
talk to Elle about my mother's birthday.
That was in a week and after a minute we ended the call.
You know damn well he stored that.
He stored that situation in the back of his mind because it felt
(04:59):
wrong. But you can't be sad about.
Your dad calling about your mom's birthday.
You know what I mean? Like it's it's it's, it's called
a gut. Feeling on the day I found out
it was like any other day. Elle had Thursdays off so when
she made breakfast for both of us when I set out for work she
gave me a kiss and told me to have a great day.
(05:21):
During my drive to work I realized I had forgotten some
paperwork I would need for a meeting.
I had it three PMI, shrugged it off and told myself I would just
go home at lunch to get it. L texted me throughout the day
talking about all the casual stuff a couple talks about like
what did you want for dinner, I did the laundry, do you want me
to hang it up for you blah blah blah blah.
I didn't think it necessary to text her I was coming home for
(05:42):
lunch so when it came around I just left work and went home.
Surprise bitch. When I got home, I noticed a car
that looked like my father's in our parking lot, but I didn't
think anything of it and just parked and went into our
building. When I opened the door, I was
met with the scene out of a movie where a man comes home
early and catches his spouse cheating.
(06:06):
Such a cliche, damn. There was a trail of clothes,
both his and hers, leading to mybedroom, and the sound of faint
moans echoed through my apartment.
I stood at the door in utter shock.
My brain was a mix of rage, sadness, and disgust, but if you
(06:27):
were a family on the wall you would see what looked like a
statue. I just couldn't move.
When I finally snapped too, not knowing how much time had
passed, I took out my phone to record.
I picked up all the clothes thatwere on the floor and threw them
in the hall of the building. Good on you for getting
evidence. Holy shit the amount of times.
(06:50):
Adrenaline just overlooks the idea of evidence gathering,
which I don't blame you, I do not blame you.
It's called fight or flight, notfilm and record.
Oh man, OK. When I finally stopped too, not
knowing how much time had passed, I took out my phone,
recorded, picked up all the clothes that were on the floor
(07:12):
and threw them into the hall of the building.
After I filmed the walk to my bedroom, the door was open.
I stood on the doorway filming for about a minute, then flipped
on the lights. They both jumped at the sudden
light and looked at me into my utter shock.
It was my father in the bed withher.
After the initial stun my fathernoticed I was recording and
started to panic, trying to findanything to cover himself and
(07:34):
telling me to stop recording. The fucking balls on his.
This this dad man, the fucking balls.
Damn. He found a towel and wrapped it
around himself and started to walk toward me.
I told him if you don't want to get hurt, stop coming to me.
He either didn't care or didn't hear me and reached for my
(07:54):
phone. I hit him square in the jaw.
That's what you fucking get you.Honestly he should have hit the
other head if. You know what I mean.
Jesus. OK.
His head bounced off the door and slumped to the ground.
L shrieked. I aimed the camera at L and said
concerned. About your fuck buddy.
(08:16):
But nothing to say to your fiance.
My father woke up after about a minute nap and I told him I just
needed to come pick something upfor work.
So I'm hitting back now. If either of you pieces of shit
are here when I get back I'll send this video to everyone you
know and post it on Reddit. He didn't actually say he was
(08:36):
going to post it on Reddit for my audio listeners.
I ended the video, looked at my dad who is still coming to, and
said you're dead to me, you're no longer my father, but you
might want to go home and talk to mom because I'll be talking
to her very soon. I sat in my car for a while
until one of the bosses at work called to ask where I was.
I told her I was on my way back right now.
When I got to her office to handher the paperwork I must have
(08:58):
looked awful because she startedasking what was wrong with me.
Well duh dude. I don't think it takes like a
medical professional to know what trauma looks like on
someone's face like that. Fresh trauma specifically may I
add. I told her it was nothing and
I'll be OK. I could see her scanning me up
and down and she noticed some bloat on my collar and stood up
rushed to me and said you're bleeding.
(09:19):
I looked down and said it was myfather's I.
Don't think that's what you should have said if you didn't
want to talk about it because now she has to make a report if
you. Really don't want to talk about
it. Oh man.
She looked confused so I pulled out my.
Phone and showed her the video. What?
Whoa, whoa. HRHR now has to see this video.
(09:42):
Oh my gosh. OK.
She watched it and it's entirelyShe was introduced to Elle a few
times, but never my father. She sat there silent for a
moment until it finally clicked that my fiance was cheating on
me. But not only was she cheating,
it was with my father. She asked if there was anything
she could do, suggesting I take some time off, but I told her I
can't go back there right now. Good boss, really good boss.
(10:05):
That I just ended a minute and I'll be fine for the meeting and
I have another shirt in my office.
You know what he should have said?
He should have said no. I have to finish the.
Shift because I have to pay for a lawyer.
Oh man, OK. The meeting went over fine.
I put on a smile for everyone like nothing had happened.
Good job. Good job.
(10:26):
My boss came up to me after the meeting and asked how I could do
that, but I just said I don't know.
It went to my office and then came home and I was alone for
the first time in a very long time.
Thank you for reading. I'm sorry I carried on so much.
Not at all. Not at all.
But it was therapeutic getting everything down.
I just don't know what to do. I definitely need to get the
hell out of this apartment. Yeah, the walls are tainted.
(10:48):
The walls are tainted just like your heart.
I just can't live here anymore. There's no possible way I'm
sleeping in that bed. I know not only do I have to go
get checked out for STD's, but Ithink I broke something in my
hands. Sheesh.
OK, let's see what Reddit has tosay about this one.
Top comments. So glad you found out before the
wedding. So happy it took three years.
(11:11):
Me. I I I take back my confusion and
shock of that next comment. Did you tell your mother?
Personally I think you handled it well considering this dude
fucking reads Reddit stories. Not only did he know that people
like background, he definitely definitely knows what makes a
(11:31):
good story and what's he's a good storyteller and what you
need to do in situations like this.
So I'm taking a look at Opie's account to see if he oh there
are multiple updates. I was just looking for an update
like comments. Hold on now I got to find this.
(11:52):
We got to go to his actual account.
Look at his post. What?
Are you seeing what I'm seeing? For my audio summers there is
the original post we just read Part 2, Part 3 and an 8 month
update. Let's read these really quick.
(12:13):
Part 2 Wow hello everyone, I didn't expect this to come back
to Reddit and have this much support.
I didn't really plan to update at all, I just wanted to put
what had happened out there and hopefully get some advice.
After I wrote down all that happened I closed my computer
and kind of fell into a depression.
Honestly I don't blame you. After I posted it hit me like a
(12:35):
train. To the ones who think it's fake.
I wish I was this creative. I'd write books instead of
working A9 to. Five bro has got jokes.
I'll try to replay more on this post.
I just logged back in and it washonestly too much to try and
reply to every comment. Just know I read through most of
them blah blah blah blah. So the day after I posted I
tried to get into contact with my mother but none of my calls
(12:56):
were connecting. Did the dad?
Block the son's number or what the fuck?
I wanted to see if she would getlunch with me and I'd tell her
everything. After about a dozen tries, I
decided to get into my car and go to my mother's house.
She needed to know what has happened as soon as possible,
even if talking about it was going to make it hurt all over
(13:19):
again. During the drive, I thought
about what I would say and how Iwould say it.
That made me start to panic. I had to pull over twice to
throw up. It's not every day you have to
tell your mom that her husband is screwing your fiance.
Holy shit I need a. Little water break.
(13:39):
I need a little water break. I'm a little parched by this
drama. Hold on, take a little water
break real quick. With me hold on, we we got to
think about. This real quick man, I hope that
these other updates he he, he's happy and he's remarried right,
(13:59):
right. We we want that for him, right?
OK. Water break all done.
Everybody hydrated, let's get into it.
I pulled into the driveway and sat in my car for a moment to
calm down and gather my thoughts.
I was in my car for a few minutes when my mother threw her
front door open so I stepped outof my car.
(14:23):
She started cursing at me, saying how dare I come to her
home after I hit my father for trying to break up a fight
between Elle and I. A.
Fight is the story you're going to fucking tell your wife.
You're you're delusional bro, you're delusional.
(14:46):
I don't know if he like has any brothers because I for sure know
that this probably is not the first time there's been like a
family reunion love triangle. The fuck?
Shame on you. She called me every name in the
book and called me an abuser. She told me I needed to leave
since Elle isn't ready to forgive me and that it's she's
(15:06):
smart. She'll hopefully never will.
Yes, apparently my father took Elle to my family's home and
told my mom that Elle and I argued and when she when my
father tried to spot it I hid him.
She continued on for a while until I finally snapped and said
really mom? Because your husband is fucking
my fiance, that's why I hid him.And if you can't take my word
(15:28):
for it, I have a video, I'll send it to you.
But because my own mother can't talk to me like this, don't
expect to see me again. I don't want to hear your
apology when you finally figure out that you're just as shit of
a mom as my piece of shit father.
OK, Whoa, whoa. I get it.
(15:49):
I get it, bro. I get it, bro.
I get it bro. The Father, the father and El.
It takes 2 to T2 to tango. Right.
I don't think it took three to tango for this one.
Your mom, your mom, your mom's victim too bro.
Your mom was manipulated too by this.
This fucking father of yours. Get it though, because holy shit
bro, I get it. I mean I don't get it, but I get
(16:12):
it in like a mental brain breakdown process it.
Sorry, let me put it like the cool kids.
Say this is a valid crash out. OK?
Her face dropped. She looked like what I must have
looked like when I first walked into my apartment and caught
them. I pulled out my phone and sent
(16:34):
her the video. My mom took hers out and turned
it on. She pulled up the video and
watched up until the part where I turn on the lights.
She then put her phone down. She looked up at me but I turned
and went into my car. I backed out of the driveway.
I looked at her before I took off and she was in tears.
(16:56):
My heart felt for her, but too much was said during that fight
for me to pull back in and forgive her.
Fair because like, even if. The story that the father said
happened, that wasn't really a valid crash out on the mom's
part because like, come on dude,come in.
Come on, mom. Come on, Mama.
(17:17):
What the hell? When I got home I started
cleaning everything out of my apartment that had to do with
Elle or my family. Oh man, I just realized that he
lost both. Not just father and not just
(17:38):
fiance, but family as well. Fuck.
I boxed all of Elle's things up and put them next to the front
door. Legally this has been her place
of residence so I can't technically kick her out.
Her name isn't on the lease. Also, she's the type of person
who shies away from conflict andif she returns, other than to
(17:59):
pick up her things, there will be plenty of conflict.
Anything that had to do with my parents I boxed up and put into
storage. Like I said in my first post, we
were a very close family but I've never had a problem cutting
toxic people out of my life. I texted Elle's parents and told
them calling off the engagement and told them she's been
cheating on me. I thank them for everything
(18:21):
they've done for me. Our relationship was still
building but they were kind and supportive of me so this just
added more hurt to the mix. I finished up asking if they
would come pick up all of her belongings.
I haven't gotten a response fromthem yet but I'm hoping they
come grab her things so Elle doesn't have a reason to come
back here. Damn.
(18:46):
Honestly bro, I'm shocked that you're just not like trying to
fuck his mom. Top comment.
Real quick, let's just read the first one of this one and we're
going to immediately steamroll the other updates.
Top comment. I figured he lied when your
mother wasn't answering. She must have said some stupid
shit for her to leave like that.The balls on your dad to bring L
to your mother. Someone would get stabbed in my
(19:08):
social circle. Well puts, well well well puts.
Oh no, I closed it. I mean, I'm just scrolling for
my, for my audio listeners. All right, we're going to go to
update #3. I'm not sure how far apart these
(19:28):
are posted. I would assume, well, the first
three. So the one we read, the second
one we just read, and the third one were posted two years ago.
And then the most recent one wasposted a year ago, which was an
8 month update. So that's, that's the time
frame. Do the math.
I'm not. Here's Part 3.
Hey everyone, I'm sorry I haven't updated in a while.
(19:48):
I wish I could say everything's fine but that's a lie.
Everything hits me in waves. I go from just being numb to
boiling with rage. I haven't had a happy moment
since I found out that is. In all seriousness, that is
called grieving. There is no correct way to
grieve. And it's a fucking circle of
pinging bullshit emotions. Not bullshit in the sense of
it's bullshit, but bullshit to deal with because it sucks.
(20:12):
It sucks. Other than a few friends I
really don't have anyone in reallife, especially since my family
turned out to be shit. Quite a few things happened
since I posted. It's been about a month so this
update will tell all that's beengoing on.
All right, correct your math. You got another time frame
update, you get about a month. OK, after my Last Post I decided
(20:35):
to get the ball rolling on everything that needed to be
done like getting tested, finding a therapist, moving, and
of course buying a new bed. That shit's.
Expensive. Add that to the lawyer fees.
I started by calling my doctor'soffice telling them I need to
get tested and to refer me to a therapist.
I had my first appointment with the therapist two weeks ago and
we decided to continue once a week.
(20:57):
I also got tested last week, butI'll be another week or so until
I get the results so cross your fingers.
For me. I got in touch with a real
estate agent friend of mine and they sent me a ton of listings
and I decided on a refurbished cabin on the outskirts of my
city. I finished moving 2 days ago
that is. Fucking hands in the chat for
OPWSWS in the chat hands clap. Everybody clap with me.
(21:19):
Woo. Hoo.
Yes, you. I know you're not clapping.
I see you over there on the chair.
Clap. Thank you, Nurse.
Oh man, sorry for anyone that was showering listening to this.
You probably just got water evenmore everywhere.
That's what you said. But for real, that, that's
awesome. A cabin, bro, Let's go.
When I finished moving, I calledElle's parents.
When they picked up, I told themI moved out and Elle has still
(21:40):
yet to pick up her things and that the landlord will start
showing the apartment in a few days, so somebody better pick
her things up before the landlord throws it out.
That must have lit a fire under them because the next day my
former landlord texted me thanking me for getting the
apartment emptied out. No one knows where I live now
other than the friend who set meup with his with this place so I
know Elle and my parents won't be dropping by.
(22:03):
The only thing that sucks about this place is I traded a 10
minute walk to work to a 45 minute drive.
That's OK man, that's OK. Facebook marketplace you can get
a bunch of different shit boxes and just rotate them.
You know it'll be fine it'll be fine you'll hopefully you'll
find like a better job. You know, I mean, everything
(22:24):
else is changing. No, because.
His his boss. Is really cool, I kind of don't
want him to lose that. What if he falls in love with
that boss? OK anyways I'm getting over
myself. My phone has been blowing up
with texts from calls from my from Elle, both my parents and
some of my friends. But I have no interest in
talking to anyone other than my therapist.
I work up in a ghost. I go and get my work done and
leave. On the rare occasion I have to
(22:45):
talk to someone, I put on a fakesmile and pretend everything is
OK. My boss from my previous post
has been trying to check in on me more but I don't really tell
her anything. I just tell her I appreciate it
but I'm OK. Truth is, I don't know if I'll
be OK. I get that time heals and all,
but I feel like that's only relevant when you're dealing
with one issue, not when you lose who you thought were the
three closest people in your life all at once.
(23:08):
A huge part of me died and there's no chance of saving it.
Time heals, but time also doesn't heal.
And let me explain OK for for you, my friend, for my friend
listening, listening in to me ramble.
OK if you use the phrase. Time heals and only use the
(23:31):
phrase time heals. Nothing fucking changes right?
I mean things will change because that's just what
happens. Everything is consistently
changing based on any decision you make, let alone what you eat
for breakfast or if you decide to quit your job.
Like it's, it has the same type of like change in life, like
different impacts, but it still gives the same power.
(23:52):
Like it'll influence other things that fall into place,
right? Time will heal.
If you use time to heal, you have to do something in this
time. You can't just wait for it to
fall into place 'cause that's not how that works.
And that's where you have issueswith PTSD and you have issues
(24:12):
with grief you. It's maladaptive behaviors, and
I mean, I think you're doing very well.
However, I would really wish. That you brought up to your
therapist like like this post, like I hope you have shared this
Reddit account because obviouslyit's a throwaway account.
(24:35):
We we, we've checked it and it only has these because there are
a lot. Of things pinging the way he the
OP. Wrote this that just shows.
So much sadness, so much sadness.
But you know, don't, just don't just say time heals and expect
it to fucking work. It doesn't work like that.
(24:55):
You can't manifest change. Sorry.
You can manifest the mentality. To act on subconsciously.
Manifestation doesn't work in a way of laziness.
Let's continue the story. Oh, a huge part of me died and
(25:16):
there's no chance of saving it. Yep.
No, that's that's a really good point to make because you're
moving on. You're noticing a difference.
Your life unfortunately, will most likely be a before and
after. And this is the incident that
marks that. The meetings with my therapist
are going well, I suppose. I never done therapy before so I
have no reference on what good therapy is.
(25:37):
We do get along right and she seems genuine and wanting to
help. The first session was us getting
to know each other and delving into what brings me to her.
Nothing in depth but me just telling her what happens in my
own words. The second session we went a bit
deeper. She asked me about the
relationship I had with my parents.
I told her up until now it was great.
We talked often and always communicated well when something
(25:58):
was wrong and that I grew up in a great home, but that's all
means nothing now. She asked why I cut my mother
out of my life. I told her She said things to me
I wouldn't say to someone I despise.
Then told her there's no way shecan come back from that good
boundary setting. But that's perfectly fine.
The way you responded, this is however you want to.
At the end of our last session Igave her the link to my page on
(26:21):
here so we I, I. Swear I did not read this
earlier. I swear I just, I just care
about helping people too, OK? OK.
You can't. You can't blame a Good Samaritan
for just wanting to read Reddit post and give good advice.
I told you. I told you so.
That's crazy. OK, at the end of our last
session I gave her the link to my page on here so she can read
(26:42):
more about how I feel and what'sgoing on in my head.
I feel like it's easier to type things out when it is to speak
it. So if you're reading this high
doc. For now, I'm still miserable.
I thought I'd be OK by now. Not necessarily happy, but OK.
I know some of it is my own fault.
I'm not communicating to my friends, but then I think about
responding to them. It just seems so exhausting.
(27:05):
I know they'll want to get together or come to my new
place, but I just don't have theenergy to be around them.
Take your time Opie. That's all right.
A new friend if you find yourself in a situation like
this. Sometimes recharging is the best
thing to do in this type of situation.
Not saying that you were in OP situation, but if you ever feel
(27:27):
like you just don't want to be around people that that's OK.
You don't have to always be around people.
No. You can take a second OK, but
you also need to have a set boundary for.
Yourself, because it can go bad,Really.
Fast, especially when it comes to depression.
Back to the story, until I do, I'll work, go to my appointments
(27:50):
and sit on my back deck sipping on some bottom shelf whiskey and
try to enjoy this beautiful view.
You deserve more than bottom shelf.
I haven't haunted since high school, so maybe I'll take that
up again now that I can hunt from my back porch.
Thank you all for reading this far.
(28:11):
Wow, let's see what Reddit has to say about this one.
Going down to the comments, tough comment being there are a
lot of us following this and polling for you.
We admire you and the way you'vehandled yourself.
Another one wanting to know whatO PS ex had to say better be
worth the audacity. Very curious.
(28:32):
I do want to know. I do want to know and right
here. Like I just said, remember
boundaries are what you allow inyour life.
You, and as obvious only you have your own wall being as a
priority. It is 100% acceptable and
understandable to not allow any of those people back into your
life. I'm glad you're getting your
(28:52):
therapy. Learn to let go of any hate you
may have. The old proverb hate is like
drinking poison and hoping another person dies from it.
I like that. Which is in no way shape or form
mean you should bend those boundaries unless you change
your minds. Only change the boundaries for
you, not for other people. That's why he's called Badgers.
(29:16):
The fuck? Let's go.
Ahead and see his last and finalupdate.
It was the Hopefully it's not the final one.
I mean it's was posted a year ago and it's 2025 so I hope we
might get one this year. Let's do it with the 8 month
(29:37):
update. Hey everyone, sorry I've been
Mia for a while now. It's OK Opie only took us like
what this episode that is flying.
I'm writing this update to let y'all know I'm alive and to give
you the lockdown of what's been happening as of recent.
OK buckle in cowboy. First, I want to apologize to
(29:59):
those who've worried about me the past few months.
After my Last Post. I was nowhere near OK, so I
pulled back from everything. I secluded myself in order to
heal and cope with what is now my life.
OK, I know I. Keep interrupting.
Keep interrupting but. Listen to me, hear me out on
(30:20):
this. So not a lot of people point
this stuff out, OK? Apologizing for people who care
about you. That right there in itself just
screams that you don't want to take.
Up space. And if you don't want other.
People to worry? About you.
(30:42):
That means you don't worry aboutyourself.
Don't get me wrong. You can worry about yourself,
right? Those don't go hand in hand.
You know what I mean? Like.
If you worry about. Yourself, other people will
worry about you, but if you apologize for worrying other
people when you. Clearly don't.
Worry about. Yourself because hello the
(31:03):
situation the way that. It's been going, his depression
and all that. It is just a huge indicator that
confidence needs to be grown because it's OK if people care
about you or, or we can go even deeper and realize that you have
no control on the way people want to think about you or not.
(31:23):
Whether it be the way they perceive you, whether it be the
way they even care about a situation you're going on or
anything. Whether it be yes, no, in
between. You don't even need to really
address it as many times. That's all I have to say.
You can thank people for it, butto apologize, come on.
Come on Opie. Let's hopefully, hopefully his
(31:45):
therapist caught that right? Hopefully his therapist caught
that. OK, so I pulled back from
everything. I secluded myself in order to
heal and cope with what has donemy life.
I want you to know every commentand message didn't fall on deaf
ears. I took all of your positive
feedback and advice and worked through my problems.
So to the people who supported me through this, truly thank
(32:06):
you. I can't stress it.
Should have just said thank you bro, even if it was Internet
strangers that were there for me.
So again thank you all. In my Last Post I was doing
things like getting tested for STD's and trying to restart my
life. I'm happy to inform you I am
clean. Oh, round of applause.
Round of applause and chats. No STD's from your dad.
(32:27):
Let's go. Oh man, someone write a book.
Someone. Write a book.
I'm fully motivated into my new place.
When I told you all about my newplace, I told you it was
refurbished cabin. Well, I might have been a little
generous. It was refurbished almost 2530
years ago so it was a bit dated.Well, with all my new found free
(32:49):
time I decided to actually refurbish it and all that's left
to do is paint the guest room that I turned into an office.
The only thing I didn't do myself was the electric and
plumbing. Fair enough because I have no
clue how to do it and have 0 interest in being shocked or
putting my hand in a shit covered pipe.
(33:09):
Fantastic move on that one Opie.Doing all the work has been
incredibly stress releasing and has helped me clear my head.
I still see my therapist once a week.
To all those who suggested it's,you probably saved my life so
thank you. Getting my frustrations out and
get the advice I need has been better than anything in my life
(33:30):
past or present. I'm still working at the same
company. I've become more open with my Co
workers that I'm closer with andmy boss from my previous post
due to the advice from my therapist.
Are we going to? Get an update going I'm I'm with
my boss. Also due to her and some of your
advice I've reached out to my friends and have slowly been
(33:52):
reintegrating into the group again.
Good job at your own pace OP. Now on to the update that's been
going on between my family and Acts.
I decided I was ready to have a talk with my mother.
What? He actually reached back out to
his mom. I am blocked her on my phone to
(34:15):
reach out. I called and almost instantly
she picked up the phone. I could tell through the tone of
her voice she was panicking. Damn dude.
Eventually after reassuring it was me, I told her we should
meet and talk. She agreed and a day later we
(34:35):
met at dinner near her house. She was there before I was and
when she saw me she started quietly sobbing.
Keep in mind, I know she. Said bad shit, but she's.
Kind of going to the same thing.She lost her partner, she lost
her family. Like if anything, she didn't
(34:57):
have to like, walk into it. And I mean.
You had, she had a. Kid with hers so it hers is a.
Little bit more. Complex than his if we really
want to start comparing sides. I don't know what do you think
who who would have it worse, themom or the son?
(35:22):
Because yeah, the son got bitched at.
And get cheated on by fiance anddad and the mom was like Nah
fuck you too and didn't even care about the fucking story.
But then you have mom that got lied to.
Obviously wasn't the first time she got cheated on.
Probably the same thing for the son.
There's no way that the fiance first time she wanted to cheat
(35:44):
was with the dad anyways. You're with the mom, you lose
your husband, you, well, you getlied to and you lose your
husband, you lose your family, then you lose your son.
But then your son doesn't even want to know your side of the
story. So they both didn't want to know
either one side of the story because they were both like used
honestly against each other. By the by the motherfucking
(36:06):
fiance and the motherfucking dad.
But that's a lot of years of marriage and you have kids.
Like, I don't know, curious. I'm curious in your take.
I I personally think the mom went through worse.
That's all I have to say on thatone.
When I sat, OK hold on, let me, let me find, let me find where
(36:28):
it was. I found where it was.
OK. She was there before I was and
when she saw me she quietly was sobbing.
When I sat, she apologized over and over again, telling me she
can only take their word becauseshe never thought them getting
together would ever happen. Valid, I told her while I
appreciate appreciate her apology, the things she said to
me were despicable and somethingno mother should ever say to
(36:51):
their child and it showed me exactly what she thought of me.
She prayed harder in promise. It's not true that when she was
told I hit my father for no reason, she was so angry and
when I showed up to the house she just let her anger take
over. Valid crash out.
Not wanting to go back and forthwith her, I decided to move on
and I said Speaking of that. Piece of shit.
(37:12):
What have you decided to do withhim?
Hopefully she took out the trash, right?
She told me they've been separated.
She just kicked them out since the day after I sent her the
video and she immediately found a lawyer.
I know that lawyer was. Like.
Oh boy, fucking there's my down payment on my next yacht.
(37:33):
Oh man. Then we moved on to my ex.
She said that when I pulled awayshe went back into the house and
threw them both out. She was too disgusted to look at
them. We talked for about an hour in
total. Before I left.
OK, I told her I was in a dark part of my life and because of
the things she said to me, I didn't have my mother when I
(37:55):
needed her and because of that Idon't know if I could have her
in my life. Well, she could say the same
thing. About not having her son when
they're her husband. Like did the unthinkable to both
of them. So it kind of goes both ways.
I then told her I'm willing to work on my relationship with her
but it will be at my own pace. Good I I good work OP, at your
(38:20):
own pace. That's like what I.
Keep telling you bro. She stopped me before I can
leave and told me she has to tell me something important.
I sat backed down and she said that Elle is pregnant.
Elle showed up to the house. And told my mom.
(38:43):
She said she didn't know if it'smine or my father's.
Elle asked if I had been in touch so she can let me know.
Obviously she hasn't, so my mom just sent her on her way.
Well, that's about it for the update.
I have a lot on my mind, not sure what to do or feel.
Thank you for reading. Sorry for rambling, rambling on
(39:04):
and on. So like if this is his.
Kid, is he going to? Have to be liable for child
support like because there's no way.
Obviously he's not going to be fucking raising it.
How would that work? Would he?
Need like immediately need to get a restraining order.
So that like it's just completely.
Separated and it's like Toodalooon your own.
But then again, I think that it would.
Really hold up in court and I don't think he.
(39:25):
Would he have to? Let's search that up.
Let's search that. Up.
I don't know. Hold on, would you have to play
child support in a case where the child could be your
father's? Google's will be like.
What did you guys say? OK, in a legal sense, if a child
(39:52):
could be your father's, you would not be obligated to pay
child support. Child support obligations are
typically determined by established paternity, meaning
the legal father, not just the biological father.
If adna test shows that you are not the child's biological
father, you generally do not have a legal duty to provide
financial support. Well, duh.
(40:15):
Hold on, that was Google AI. Let's talk to our.
Home Girl ChatGPT So if your fiance cheated on you with your
father and it turns and she got pregnant and it turns out the
(40:39):
baby is yours, do you have to pay?
Child support. Let's see.
Yes, you could be required to pay child support if the baby is
legally determined to be yours, regardless of the betrayal or
family drama involved. Here's how it breaks down.
(41:01):
If DNA confirms you are the biological father, you are
legally responsible for the child, even if your ex fiance
cheated on you with your father.Child support laws focus on the
best interests of the child, notthe circumstances of conception.
Emotional betrayal like the fiance cheating with the father
does not exempt you from legal parental responsibilities.
(41:23):
OK, if the baby ends up being your father's, you would not
have to pay. Whoa Dang, so Opie's fucked if
it's his swimmer, you know? Maybe that's why we're not
having any updates like a year ago, 8 month update and she was
(41:45):
seven months. Pregnant, right?
That's what it said, right? What the hell, dude?
No, no, I I'm I'm referring to acomment he actually.
Posted that I saw, let's read itreal quick.
To add, of course I'll be getting ADNA test.
There was also some comments asking if the claim is actually
(42:09):
real valid. Ella came to my mother's house
around seven months pregnant. Like first of all, it's nine
months to have a motherfucking child if it's full term.
Most babies are full term these days.
They usually like pop out a couple.
Weeks early, right? Did did she?
(42:30):
Like try to like trap a different dude.
That wasn't at all like related to this family and it just
didn't fucking work out after the first seven months.
So she's like fuck, I need moneyfrom someone so might as well
get it from them. And no, it's probably was an
encrypted pregnancy, which is like where you have no symptoms
(42:52):
or anything because the mom noticed that she was seven
months. You know what I mean?
Whatever, but I'm almost positive she can tell when
someone's seven months pregnant.Also, there's not much of an
update for my dad because I don't know much.
Neither did my mom, so she had nothing to share.
Bro this fucking girl and Opie replied to Black thumb.
(43:14):
Why do you have any house plantsyet?
And if not, why not? Ah, because you know, you need
a, you need a, you know, green thumb.
But use. His.
Black thumb. OK, Opie.
Opie got the jokes. Opie got the jokes and that's
it. There's nothing else.
We're all like, cooked out of a good ending.
(43:36):
Damn, an Opie kind of was too inthat situation.
Oh, no, dude. Like there's no other comments.
Like if I go into comments. So we had the black flum we have
the seven months we have. I'm just trying to be civil.
A small chance of running into them.
(43:57):
Yeah, There's nothing. There's no other updates.
It's done. That's it.
