[00:00:43] Hey, what for gang? I do hope you're well. My name is Mark and today we're checking out some more Reddit Stories.

[00:00:50] If you do love a Reddit Story, why not consider hit a like subscribe maybe that notification bell too.

[00:00:56] And let's crack on with today's first story. Cheeky so-and-so. Much love guys.

[00:01:04] Now this story comes from Key Salamander 5906 from the Amide the Arsol here subreddit.

[00:01:10] Let's have a couple of updates as well and it's titled Amide the Arsol here for giving my wife an ultimatum.

[00:01:18] I35 male have been married to my wife 37 female for seven years. And we were together another three before that.

[00:01:27] We had a daughter 5 female. On the outside our marriage appears to be perfect.

[00:01:32] She and I own a nice house with a good school district. Have a great care and both work full time.

[00:01:38] The job requires her to do some travel. I want to run the office three days a week.

[00:01:42] My job does not pay as well but I work completely remote and spend a lot of time taking my daughter to soccer or doctor's appointments as well as keeping up around the house.

[00:01:52] Before anyone asks this is not a weight gain issue. I'm active and fit and my wife is the same.

[00:01:59] For the past four years or so my wife has basically shown no interest in our marriage and acts more like my roommate and partner.

[00:02:06] We have basically no romance or intimacy. I say intimacy, I know some people would jump to sex but to me intimacy means acting like a couple.

[00:02:16] And holding kisses, cuddling and obviously sex. None of those are really things my wife wants to do and makes it painfully obvious that she isn't interested.

[00:02:26] Before she and I were very much an amazing couple. My wife also shows no interest in my life. She has forgotten important events like our anniversary and my birthday.

[00:02:37] I last anniversary she said she needed to cancel the dinner plans I made for the two of us because she had to work late on a Friday and travel for work the following week.

[00:02:47] I brought this up to my therapist who suggested couples therapy and is willing to give some recommendations.

[00:02:52] I brought this up to my wife who immediately shut it down saying there's nothing wrong with me, I don't need therapy.

[00:02:59] I've made multiple suggestions to her for how we can possibly improve our relationship. Family vacation, our daughter weren't appreciated.

[00:03:08] I don't see what five year old wouldn't want to go on the beach for a couple of days but maybe I'm wrong.

[00:03:13] I romantic get away for just her and I? No, I'm too busy at work or can't we just spend time together at home?

[00:03:20] Taking our daughter on a bike ride and going out to lunch on a weekend, I just want to relax.

[00:03:26] So I gave up trying to initiate anything with her and recently began looking for an out.

[00:03:32] I watched my parents in a failing marriage for a decade and don't want to put my child through that.

[00:03:37] I talked to a lawyer and got papers ready and can buy a condo in town.

[00:03:41] He bought a daughter in the same school district with her friends since I can't afford a house by myself.

[00:03:48] I recently confronted my wife when our daughter was at a play date.

[00:03:52] I told her that I am seriously considering leaving her since I feel as though I don't matter to her and our relationship is never priority to her.

[00:04:00] I told her I have an exit plan and if she doesn't make changes by the new year, I'm going to file for divorce and full custody.

[00:04:07] She and I got into a big fight where she basically told me I was manipulative and an asshole for blind siding her like that.

[00:04:14] I told her that none of this would be an issue if she cared about us or at least pretended to.

[00:04:19] I told her I don't want our daughter to see how unhealthy our relationship is.

[00:04:24] All of this happened yesterday.

[00:04:27] I read it and my the asshole here for what I said to my wife and I argument after.

[00:04:31] I had brought up my concerns about our marriage to a multiple times.

[00:04:36] Things usually improve for a short while but I quickly back to the status quo in a week or two.

[00:04:41] Usually when we see someone giving ultimatum, it's never a good time to do it because ultimatum is rarely worked but...

[00:04:48] I just feel like you're left with very little choice in this.

[00:04:51] It says that you've tried to ask them at therapy, you've tried talking about it multiple times.

[00:04:55] I don't know where else you could go.

[00:04:58] And of course one of your lines they jumped out to me that you don't want your child to see an unhealthy relationship.

[00:05:04] Ketaname only says partner one screaming into the void about relationship problems for years.

[00:05:10] Knees not being met etc.

[00:05:12] But the two says I feel so blindsided by this.

[00:05:15] Here could you face.

[00:05:17] Maybe if partner two actually cared or listened, they would have not feel blindsided.

[00:05:21] They chose to ignore.

[00:05:23] See he says I'm sorry to say this but your wife doesn't care.

[00:05:27] The first thing she said to you once you mentioned about ending it.

[00:05:30] She said I was manipulative and an asshole for blindsiding her like that.

[00:05:34] First off you didn't blindside her.

[00:05:36] You mentioned it to her and she didn't want to listen.

[00:05:39] Secondly you also asked about couples therapy and she dismissed you.

[00:05:42] Every time you try something she doesn't want to know.

[00:05:45] She doesn't seem to care about you or your daughter.

[00:05:48] She doesn't care about your anniversary or your birthdays.

[00:05:51] She does not seem to care at all.

[00:05:53] You are the one that is being there for your daughter in spending quality time.

[00:05:57] Are you sure she's not having an affair?

[00:05:59] Personally I wouldn't wait until the end of the year.

[00:06:02] I'd go ASAP.

[00:06:06] Olds bone says if you've already decided to go to a lawyer and file on Monday.

[00:06:10] Don't do anything abnormal today.

[00:06:13] Don't say anything about the relationship.

[00:06:15] The beg is your old threaten or rant.

[00:06:17] Don't make any snippy comments.

[00:06:19] Don't act extra sweet and kind.

[00:06:21] Just carry about your normal Sunday and act like the conversation never happened.

[00:06:26] Then just go and do it.

[00:06:29] Humanity is bizarre and says your wife has checked out of the marriage

[00:06:32] and is probably just shocked that you still care about anything

[00:06:35] and demand to be anything other than roommates.

[00:06:37] It's one of three things.

[00:06:40] She's fallen out of love but is sticking around for your kid's

[00:06:43] slash financial reasons.

[00:06:44] Two, she's defined herself as as asexual and has no requirements for intimacy.

[00:06:49] For three, she's been using the nights out with the girls

[00:06:52] as a cover of having an affair hence the complete lack of care in intimacy

[00:06:56] as she's getting it elsewhere.

[00:06:58] One more comment from a lifelong listener who says you haven't told us

[00:07:01] whether she's a decent mother.

[00:07:03] If she is do not file for full custody.

[00:07:05] File for 50-50 placement.

[00:07:07] Do your best to build a civil relationship with your ex.

[00:07:10] Do no longer be your wife,

[00:07:12] do your co-parent.

[00:07:14] Get out of the marriage but put your daughter's needs at the top of your priority list.

[00:07:18] Unless the woman is abusive on the glethe floor.

[00:07:20] That little girl will benefit the most from having both mother and father

[00:07:24] actively involved in her life.

[00:07:26] I got divorce 13 years ago when my daughter was three.

[00:07:29] And her father and I get along really well.

[00:07:31] Share placement and our kid is happy and thriving.

[00:07:34] It's not divorce per se that damages kids.

[00:07:37] It's conflict.

[00:07:38] Kids need both parents whenever possible for the best chance

[00:07:41] that a happy and well-adjusted life.

[00:07:44] Kiss your marriage goodbye,

[00:07:45] breathe about it but don't make the divorce nastier than it needs to be.

[00:07:49] Be calm, kind, rational and do not squabble over money.

[00:07:53] Take the high road.

[00:07:54] Everyone will be better for it later on.

[00:07:56] You're not the asshole yet.

[00:07:58] Don't become one.

[00:08:00] It would be says, she's a decent mother.

[00:08:03] She doesn't do as much work for our daughter but she's not neglectful.

[00:08:07] Maybe the custody was a bit of an asshole move

[00:08:09] but I was angry and frustrated when we talked.

[00:08:11] I do not want to deny my daughter the chance to have a mum

[00:08:14] who will be able to have insights into growing up that I do not.

[00:08:17] So OP comes in with their first update and says hi everyone.

[00:08:20] First of all thank you for all your replies and messages.

[00:08:23] I received a ton and haven't been able to reply to them all.

[00:08:26] It's been a crazy couple of weeks unfortunately.

[00:08:29] My marriage is over and after talking to my wife I realized it has been for a long time.

[00:08:34] The day after my post I began the divorce process with my lawyer.

[00:08:38] Everyone who said I was an asshole for saying I was going to get full custody.

[00:08:42] That is true.

[00:08:43] I was angry, frustrated and said something I shouldn't have.

[00:08:47] Big going to split custody.

[00:08:49] With me having the weekdays in my wife having weekends.

[00:08:52] That said everyone who said she was cheating.

[00:08:55] Congratulations you were right.

[00:08:57] She has been for around 4 years now.

[00:09:00] Which is about the time she started withdrawing from my marriage.

[00:09:03] She has been cheating with this co-worker because she felt like

[00:09:06] she was not attractive after having a child and I was busy with work and childcare.

[00:09:10] More recently, she has begun to develop feelings for him.

[00:09:13] And was considering leaving me for him.

[00:09:15] Which she is free to do now.

[00:09:17] When I gave her the ultimatum, she was surprised that I was considering leaving her

[00:09:21] and thought I knew about her affair at the time.

[00:09:24] We set our daughter down and explained that we are splitting up.

[00:09:27] But we both love her more than anything.

[00:09:30] My daughter was understandably upset and is having a tough time.

[00:09:34] I am looking into therapy options for my daughter and told her that she can always tell me how

[00:09:38] she is feeling.

[00:09:39] This is the hardest part of everything so far.

[00:09:43] My wife and I are going to be geographically close.

[00:09:46] I'm going to be moving into a condo in early January.

[00:09:49] My wife is going to move in with a co-worker about 15 minutes away.

[00:09:53] With the sale of our house, I will be able to pay off a large portion of my new home.

[00:09:58] According to the lawyer, we can have everything wrapped up by new years if it goes smoothly.

[00:10:02] But with the holidays, I'll be happy with early January.

[00:10:06] In the meantime, I'm going to start rebuilding my life.

[00:10:09] I did not get married with the intention of getting divorced but here we are.

[00:10:13] I'm going to work on myself and my relationship with my daughter, starting with a vacation.

[00:10:18] I'm going to surprise her with a trip to Disney this winter.

[00:10:21] It will be expensive but I really want to make her happy and create some happy memories.

[00:10:26] I'm going to miss her on weekends.

[00:10:28] Maybe one day, I'll explain this all to her when she is an appropriate age and we can talk about it more.

[00:10:33] In the meantime, I'm going to work on myself and try to be the best version of me that I can.

[00:10:38] I don't know what the future holds but I guess I'll know eventually.

[00:10:44] Around 5 months later, OP updates again and says hi everyone.

[00:10:48] I forget I give one final update.

[00:10:51] My divorce has been finalized and I feel exhausted and relieved.

[00:10:55] I'm looking forward to starting the next chapter of my life.

[00:10:58] This was the longest close to 6 months of my life and I'm happy it's over.

[00:11:02] I do feel a little empty but that will pass eventually.

[00:11:06] My ex-wife dragged parts of it out more than needed which was very frustrating.

[00:11:10] She ended up finding her own place which she was not happy about.

[00:11:14] She's also pregnant but neither of those are my problem.

[00:11:18] I have primary custody of our daughter.

[00:11:21] I get most weeknights and most weekends plus travel.

[00:11:24] She and I are both doing well and adjusting to things a little bit.

[00:11:28] I'm working on myself still and think I have a long way to go.

[00:11:32] She is talking to a therapist who's helping her work for emotions

[00:11:35] and I tried to make the holiday special for her.

[00:11:38] I want to thank those of you who recommended support subreddits for infidelity.

[00:11:42] Reading a lot about similar situations has given me perspective on my situation.

[00:11:47] If anyone is going through a similar struggle, understand what you're going through

[00:11:51] and help you find the strength to do what you need to do.

[00:11:55] A couple of comments asking questions to OP.

[00:11:58] Roadkill says, I thought ex-wife was moving in with a fair partner.

[00:12:02] Do you know what happened? It might affect your kids relationship with their mum.

[00:12:06] OP says he wasn't super interested in raising a kid from the sounds of it.

[00:12:10] Dark matter Black says, wait, he got pregnant and left her.

[00:12:14] She's reaping what she sowed so you focus on your little one and your life.

[00:12:19] OP says well presumably him but I don't know and I don't care.

[00:12:23] The voice proceedings had just wrapped up when I heard about it

[00:12:26] but yeah focusing on my daughter and myself is the plan.

[00:12:29] Wow, blown up your own marriage in for what in the end by the sounds of it

[00:12:33] but what do you guys make of this situation?

[00:13:17] Story

[00:13:18] Now today's second story is a suggestion on our own subreddit

[00:13:21] R-slashmark narrations from Eta Gel, apologies if I forgot your name wrong there.

[00:13:27] And the story was from educational pick 368 and says,

[00:13:30] I'm I the R-sl, but telling my husband that my stepdaughter can't return home

[00:13:35] until she pays my daughter back.

[00:13:38] I 30 female have a 14 year old daughter, Lair.

[00:13:42] Married my husband Mark, oh no 46 male six years ago.

[00:13:46] He has two children from a previous marriage,

[00:13:49] Koi 16 male and Koro 14 female.

[00:13:53] Me and Mark have the kids full time,

[00:13:55] but his kids live with their mom for a few weeks during the summer.

[00:13:58] They moved into my lake house which has five bedrooms.

[00:14:01] Two of the bedrooms upstairs have bathrooms.

[00:14:04] My daughter had one of those rooms.

[00:14:06] But as the girls began high school,

[00:14:08] Koro began complaining about not having a bathroom and said it's unfair.

[00:14:12] Mark and Koi told her to stop complaining.

[00:14:15] Lair said it was fine and asked us if she could turn the basement into her room.

[00:14:19] I didn't like that idea, but she begged so I agreed.

[00:14:23] Turns out my daughter wanted a room makeover so this worked out.

[00:14:27] We give the kids allowance and allowed them to get a work permit.

[00:14:31] Koi worked at an arcade and told the girls he could get them jobs.

[00:14:35] Koro refused to work but Lair agreed.

[00:14:38] After five months of saving her allowance,

[00:14:40] she's able to buy everything she needed to redecorate.

[00:14:43] Koro never bothered to go down there because she believed it was full of spiders.

[00:14:48] But Koi was down there every day helping her.

[00:14:51] After a week she completely transformed the basement.

[00:14:55] She invited everyone down and it was stunning.

[00:14:58] I didn't even know that computer towers could be clear.

[00:15:01] She looked so proud.

[00:15:03] Koro then screamed it wasn't fair and that she wanted the basement now.

[00:15:07] Everyone began yelling at her but she began crying.

[00:15:10] And before we know it, she ran over to the computer and threw it on the ground.

[00:15:15] The glass shattered and one of the monitors fell to the floor also breaking.

[00:15:20] My daughter cried.

[00:15:21] I explained to Mark that Koro has to pay for this.

[00:15:24] He said her emotions are just high and we'll get us situated with everything calms down.

[00:15:28] I ran to Koro and yelled saying she's on punishment.

[00:15:31] Mark didn't agree but I didn't care.

[00:15:34] Koro was unnecessarily crying and ran to her mother's car.

[00:15:38] Koi was trying to help my daughter and Mark tried to hand her $300

[00:15:42] but Koi explained that Koro caused about $1000 worth of damages.

[00:15:47] He said luckily the expensive pieces in the case were saved,

[00:15:50] but the case itself was about 450 and the monitor was 200.

[00:15:54] Mark explained that he doesn't have that kind of money.

[00:15:57] I said she can't come back until my daughter's stuff is repaired with a sincere apology.

[00:16:02] Koi agreed and Mark was upset saying that he couldn't do that to his daughter.

[00:16:07] I told him to leave if that's the case.

[00:16:09] Mark left for a few hours and handed my daughter a check for $1000.

[00:16:14] I explained that Koro can't come back if there is no punishment.

[00:16:19] My husband's ex-wife is saying that I'm banning her from our home

[00:16:23] because she didn't deserve that bigger space and that we're treating Koro unfairly.

[00:16:27] I said she did that, there was nothing unfair about the situation.

[00:16:30] The ex just hung up.

[00:16:32] Now my husband's ex-in-laws are bombarding him with phone calls saying he's a horrible dad.

[00:16:38] His sister even said he's being a bad parent and they're best friends,

[00:16:42] so it's really getting to him.

[00:16:44] This happened last night and he hasn't gone up yet.

[00:16:47] Should I apologize?

[00:16:49] I, the asshole here.

[00:16:51] I'm starting the comments with the world's on fire who says not the asshole.

[00:16:55] Koro sounds like a spoiled brat and Mark needs to realise that at 14

[00:16:59] he should have a better handle on her emotions and throwing a tantrum

[00:17:03] because someone else has something nice that she wants.

[00:17:06] She absolutely should apologise for behaving like a toddler

[00:17:09] and Mark needs to stop coddling his kid.

[00:17:11] At least the older brother seems to have a clue.

[00:17:14] Let him stew in his feelings.

[00:17:16] Maybe he gets some insight into why his dismissive parenting isn't doing anyone any favours.

[00:17:22] Julia says not the asshole, he could solve all of this by actually disciplining his kid and getting her therapy.

[00:17:29] I'm glad he paid your daughter back.

[00:17:31] That's what the law would do.

[00:17:32] A 14 year old can't be made to pay anything so as the parents responsibility.

[00:17:36] That's just not the end of it.

[00:17:38] By the way, he also needs to pay for a good lock on our room before his daughter is allowed back.

[00:17:43] Superflex says not the asshole, so to be clear first it wasn't fair that Leah had one of the upstairs bedrooms with an on-sweep bath.

[00:17:51] I'm assuming that when the basement project got the green light, the natural outcome of that was going to be Koro moving into that bedroom.

[00:17:58] Second, Koro wanted nothing to do with the basement.

[00:18:01] Didn't want the space, contributed no time, effort or money to the work on it.

[00:18:05] And then when she saw the finished product, all of a sudden she wanted it and it wasn't fair again.

[00:18:11] Third, Koro got shut down and in a fit of rage, smashed Leah's custom PC from one of her monitors.

[00:18:17] Koro is a fucking entitled brat.

[00:18:20] I think you're on shaky ground with a concept of banning one of your stepchildren from your marital home.

[00:18:25] But punishment and restitution is 100% warranted.

[00:18:29] Night salute says, I think you and your husband should attend therapy.

[00:18:34] Not because you've done anything wrong but because he needs to hear from a non-family party that he's being a big dingus.

[00:18:41] And Koro just sounds spoiled.

[00:18:43] She was going to get the on-sweep bedroom and that wasn't good enough.

[00:18:47] I guess because her new bedroom wasn't going to be renovated because she didn't work for the money to renovate it.

[00:18:52] If yes, then Mark should understand that his little princess can't just behave however she likes.

[00:18:57] And that throwing a tantrum 10 years past the age of a toddler is neither nice nor acceptable.

[00:19:02] Personally, I don't think you should apologize. I don't think Leah did anything wrong.

[00:19:06] She didn't snatch the basement from Koro.

[00:19:09] The basement only became available because Leah worked on it.

[00:19:12] And what kind of lesson does it give if Koro can just whine a moan about stuff and then be handed stuff anyway?

[00:19:19] So the OP does come back in to update the post and says, I found out the complete story and there was a lot of drama.

[00:19:25] So over a boy.

[00:19:27] So both my daughters are cheerleaders and it's Valentine's Day dance coming up.

[00:19:31] All of Koro's friends are cheerleaders and they all date football players except her.

[00:19:36] So for the past month their friends have been trying to hook her up with Brad.

[00:19:39] And it turns out he's interested in Leah.

[00:19:42] After all the games Brad taught with Leah.

[00:19:45] The Koro came up with a rumor that Leah plays Roblox.

[00:19:48] It's not really a rumor but Brad found out so after school a few days before the incident,

[00:19:53] Koro tells Brad about how childish Leah is for still playing Roblox.

[00:19:57] And Brad says he doesn't think it's childish.

[00:20:00] Turns out him and his friends play and invited Leah to join them.

[00:20:04] And yesterday after school in the hallway, Brad and his friends recorded this big proposal to the dance

[00:20:09] that included flowers and chocolate and Blair accepted.

[00:20:13] Apparently Koro was crying at cheerleading practice and Leah went up to ask what's wrong

[00:20:17] unless she needs anything.

[00:20:19] Koro and her friends started cursing Leah out so Leah just backed off.

[00:20:23] Then this morning Koro posted on Facebook about how Leah is the favorite child

[00:20:28] and that she was kicked out of a decorated bedroom in order for Leah to have it.

[00:20:32] Her mum, Dreia had also posted something similar.

[00:20:36] Koi didn't want to ruin Leah's reputation so he posted everything about their lies.

[00:20:41] He also posted a picture of the shattered case and explaining how everything Koro said was a lie

[00:20:47] and how Leah was nice enough to give up her bedroom.

[00:20:50] Dreia also called us some horrible names.

[00:20:52] And Koi responded that the reason the custody is no longer 50-50

[00:20:56] is because Dreia's husband hates kids.

[00:20:59] Apparently Koro didn't know this but Dreia sent my husband a text saying he knows

[00:21:04] how her husband feels about kids being here.

[00:21:07] So he needs to make it up with her and let her come home.

[00:21:10] Marka and screenshot this and send it to Koro.

[00:21:12] Same, she came home and went straight to her room.

[00:21:15] She skipped practice.

[00:21:16] Leah is on her way so when she gets home,

[00:21:19] we'll have a family meeting.

[00:21:21] Hope he gives another update and says so we had a long talk.

[00:21:25] Koro came down and apologized to Leah and she was jealous about Brad.

[00:21:29] She also apologized to me for lying to her aunt.

[00:21:32] She believed that Leah got everything she asked for.

[00:21:34] Koi had her explain and the only thing she said was Brad.

[00:21:38] As I was about to explain Marka's step-dean and told her that wasn't everything.

[00:21:43] Marka explained everything Koro got which included a room makeover

[00:21:47] which Leah had to pay for on her own.

[00:21:49] A brand new laptop after Leah had to pay for her entire computer setup.

[00:21:53] He then asked, is this really about a guy that she doesn't have anything in common with?

[00:21:58] Koro then told us how popular he was and that because Leah is a nerd they don't mesh.

[00:22:03] Other than chair-leading, Leah is in quiz bowl

[00:22:07] and robot making club.

[00:22:09] Leah explained now that football was over.

[00:22:11] Brad was also in those clubs and told her his friends who the other cheerleader's date.

[00:22:15] Koro then began crying again because after the Facebook post her friends explain

[00:22:19] that their boyfriends don't want to be involved with a liar

[00:22:22] and advise them to stop hanging out with her.

[00:22:24] So they didn't sit with her at lunch today.

[00:22:26] Mark calmly told her that was her own doing.

[00:22:29] She broke down and said I know.

[00:22:31] Marka held her in his arms and apologized about sending her the screenshot.

[00:22:36] Explain that I wasn't the bad guy.

[00:22:38] He didn't explain that Dre had told her that I forced Mark to get full custody

[00:22:43] so that we could all be one big happy family.

[00:22:45] So that along with a Brad situation made her lash out.

[00:22:48] He then ran to hug me saying how sorry she was

[00:22:51] and looked at Leah and apologized once again.

[00:22:54] I brought up family therapy and everyone agreed.

[00:22:57] Koro took the post down already

[00:22:59] and apologized to Leah publicly.

[00:23:01] I knew things are looking up but without friends and the situation with her mum

[00:23:06] I'm not sure what's going to happen.

[00:23:09] And I'm glad that things at the very end of this were slightly talked out

[00:23:14] or at least moving ever so slightly in the right direction.

[00:23:19] All the way through this story I was like what's going on?

[00:23:22] You know because to be running up to someone's PC

[00:23:25] and just smashing it on the ground like that,

[00:23:28] it says there's something seriously going on in the background.

[00:23:32] And you know I'm not excusing the behavior

[00:23:34] because you can't excuse that kind of behavior

[00:23:36] and somehow it needs to be dealt with in some way.

[00:23:39] Therapy sounds like the best way to hopefully get some of this stuff out.

[00:23:43] And I'm sure we've only just seen a little taster

[00:23:45] of what's going on in their lives

[00:23:47] and who knows what's going through Koro's mind at that young age.

[00:23:51] Again, not excusing the behavior at all

[00:23:54] but I do hope that she gets the help that she needs

[00:23:57] because otherwise like we say in many of these stories,

[00:24:00] the alternative is she carries on down this path

[00:24:03] and you know she just won't have a good future.

[00:24:06] But now I'm going to turn this one to you guys.

[00:24:08] What do you guys make of this situation?
