I Went Fishing On The Day My Ex Was Giving Birth And Her Friends Are Furious! r/Relationships

[00:00:00] Have a catch yourself eating the same flavorless dinner three days in a row?

[00:00:03] Dreaming of something better?

[00:00:05] Well, Hello Fresh is your guilt-free dream come true, baby.

[00:00:08] It's me, Gigi Palmer.

[00:00:10] Let's wake up those taste buds with hot, juicy pecan crusted chicken

[00:00:14] or garlic butter shrimp scampi.

[00:00:16] Mm!

[00:00:17] Hello Fresh.

[00:00:19] Stop dreaming of all the delicious possibilities

[00:00:22] and dig in at HelloFresh.com.

[00:00:25] Let's get this dinner party started.

[00:00:30] Hey, Waffle Gang.

[00:00:33] I do hope you are well.

[00:00:35] My name is Mark and today we're checking out some more Reddit Stories.

[00:00:39] And if you do love a Reddit story, why not consider

[00:00:42] and like subscribe?

[00:00:43] Maybe that notification bell too.

[00:00:45] Let's crack on with today's first story.

[00:00:48] Much love guys.

[00:00:50] Now today's first story comes from immediateway2944

[00:00:54] and says I the R.

[00:00:56] Sol for going fishing the day my ex was giving birth.

[00:01:00] I, male 29, ended a relationship with this woman,

[00:01:04] Maria, female 27, about one and a half years ago.

[00:01:08] Our relationship was largely casual

[00:01:11] and I made it abundantly clear to Maria that

[00:01:14] I didn't want a serious long-term relationship.

[00:01:16] Maria agreed since we had such wildly different values and beliefs.

[00:01:20] But after being together for a while,

[00:01:23] she confessed that she wanted a serious relationship

[00:01:27] with the prospect of getting married.

[00:01:29] I declined as I thought and still think

[00:01:32] we're way too different to start something like that.

[00:01:35] We continued our relationship for a few more months

[00:01:37] when Maria brought up marriage and starting a family again.

[00:01:40] She started saying things like

[00:01:43] how her family and friends like me,

[00:01:45] as well as how would be a great fit.

[00:01:47] At this stage, I decided to break through

[00:01:49] my relationship with Maria

[00:01:51] I felt like we both wanted different things

[00:01:53] and it was better if we went our separate ways.

[00:01:55] Maria was devastated by our breakup

[00:01:57] and begged me to remain in contact

[00:01:59] so I did

[00:02:01] and we kept a decently close friendship

[00:02:03] for the past one and a half years.

[00:02:05] Since then, Maria's life has been through

[00:02:07] a downward spiral.

[00:02:09] She hasn't gotten in any serious relationships.

[00:02:11] She's been in many but they've only lasted

[00:02:13] two months at most

[00:02:15] and most of them are still in the same relationship.

[00:02:17] Maria's relationship with Maria

[00:02:20] was a little bit different

[00:02:22] but she's been in contact with Maria

[00:02:24] for a few months at most

[00:02:26] and most of the guys were not very good.

[00:02:28] This lifestyle has caused a lot of friction

[00:02:30] with her parents

[00:02:32] and she tells me she no longer speaks with them

[00:02:34] because of it.

[00:02:36] Maria has also failed out of graduate school

[00:02:38] and has struggled to find work

[00:02:40] before finally landing a job she hates

[00:02:42] a few months ago.

[00:02:44] One of the guys Maria was with

[00:02:46] got a pregnant at some point

[00:02:48] and she seemed very apprehensive.

[00:02:50] She told me that she was terrified of becoming a mum.

[00:02:52] I tried to reassure her

[00:02:54] that she'd make a great mum.

[00:02:56] Visited her several times in the past few months

[00:02:58] and helped her out whenever I could.

[00:03:00] Maria ended up giving birth last week.

[00:03:02] On the day

[00:03:04] I was going fishing with some of my old friends

[00:03:06] that I hadn't seen in a while.

[00:03:08] When I found out about the birth

[00:03:10] the following day from one of Maria's friends

[00:03:12] I called her and congratulated her.

[00:03:14] Maria sounded exhausted

[00:03:16] and I was happy I called.

[00:03:18] Later that week I started getting a lot of messages from Maria's friends

[00:03:20] telling me how I should have been there

[00:03:22] since Maria was so afraid

[00:03:24] none of her family showed up

[00:03:26] and she was hoping art come.

[00:03:28] One of her friends

[00:03:30] KT Female 28

[00:03:32] was particularly angry.

[00:03:34] She said that I needed to be more supportive of Maria

[00:03:36] since she felt alone

[00:03:38] and I was abusing the trust Maria had in me.

[00:03:40] Honestly

[00:03:42] I get helping out and being there for friends

[00:03:45] was not exactly my responsibility.

[00:03:47] Also

[00:03:49] she had two of her other friends

[00:03:51] KT and another girl with her on the day of the birth

[00:03:53] so I don't know what I could have added

[00:03:55] and I

[00:03:57] the arsehole.

[00:03:59] For those wondering the father is back in Austria

[00:04:01] and there is like 60% chance

[00:04:03] he doesn't even know about the kid

[00:04:05] all of Maria's friends

[00:04:07] knows he's the dad

[00:04:09] but they just refer to him as some arsehole

[00:04:11] but I do maintain a cordial relationship

[00:04:13] with Maria

[00:04:14] I have no interest in raising her child.

[00:04:16] Even more context

[00:04:18] for those wondering

[00:04:20] I knew the baby was supposed to be born last week

[00:04:22] he was scheduled for Saturday

[00:04:24] but the little guy decided he wanted to come earlier

[00:04:26] so it was born on Wednesday

[00:04:28] I left town Tuesday night

[00:04:30] and planned on coming back on Friday

[00:04:32] the baby was born on Wednesday

[00:04:34] and I only found out on Thursday

[00:04:36] I called Maria afterwards

[00:04:38] and congratulated her

[00:04:40] I did not make any promises about being there

[00:04:43] absolutely not the arsehole in this situation

[00:04:45] I thought at one stage

[00:04:47] that the friends maybe didn't know

[00:04:49] that OP wasn't the father

[00:04:51] and that's why they were so angry

[00:04:53] but OP confirmed in the like additional

[00:04:55] context information

[00:04:57] that they did know

[00:04:59] so what the fuck are they complaining about

[00:05:01] and to me it just feels like this is all getting too

[00:05:03] unhealthy now

[00:05:05] she's attaching herself in some way

[00:05:07] to OP

[00:05:09] that maybe she wants him back

[00:05:11] he'll be the father to this child

[00:05:13] so I think it's time to break that

[00:05:15] contact I think

[00:05:17] which might sound a bit rough

[00:05:19] and abrupt but I think it's the only way forward

[00:05:21] be interested to know what your thoughts on this

[00:05:23] but Joz says not the arsehole

[00:05:25] guaranteed that she had this fantasy

[00:05:27] where you bonded with the kid

[00:05:29] and came back to her

[00:05:31] time to walk away

[00:05:33] and I wonder if the friends are sort of

[00:05:35] in on that in some way as well

[00:05:37] do they think that's going to happen as well

[00:05:39] she's just looking for a daddy

[00:05:41] I'd back away from the friendship

[00:05:43] we've got verdict since my comment got traction

[00:05:45] not the arsehole

[00:05:47] super flex says not the arsehole

[00:05:49] but dude be real

[00:05:51] Maria totally wants to get back together

[00:05:53] and have you long term as a husband

[00:05:55] and father to her kid

[00:05:57] friends know it and apparently the strategy

[00:05:59] of the moment is to guilt

[00:06:01] shame and harass you towards a role

[00:06:03] and relationship you don't want

[00:06:05] it seems like you think you're trying to be

[00:06:08] a good guy slash friend here

[00:06:10] but if you all remember Maria's hopes and expectations for the future don't match

[00:06:12] maybe it's time to rip off the

[00:06:14] bandage and walk away

[00:06:16] a final comment from

[00:06:18] okay rip 2794

[00:06:20] who says not the arsehole what the fuck

[00:06:22] you're not the father so why on earth

[00:06:24] would you be there

[00:06:26] she's already bullied and harassed you into staying friends with her

[00:06:28] now this

[00:06:30] should have not given in the first place

[00:06:32] and just cut contact with her completely

[00:06:34] extremely inappropriate

[00:06:36] you should ask them why they weren't there

[00:06:38] remind them that you are not the father

[00:06:40] and that you ended the situation you had

[00:06:42] going on a few years back

[00:06:44] that she kept harassing you

[00:06:46] until you gave up just to be friends

[00:06:48] and that if they care so much

[00:06:50] that they are the ones that should have been there with her

[00:06:52] I think you should block them all

[00:06:54] it's like I'd love to be a fly on the wall

[00:06:56] between the conversations

[00:06:58] between the friends

[00:07:00] and the ex here

[00:07:02] to see what they're actually saying to each other

[00:07:05] because that is just batshit thinking isn't it

[00:07:07] but in the update

[00:07:09] OPI says

[00:07:11] before I proceed with my update

[00:07:13] I'd like to clarify a few points that have been raised

[00:07:15] many people have been wondering about my statement regarding Maria's values and beliefs

[00:07:17] not aligning with mine

[00:07:19] by this I meant that Maria and I

[00:07:21] differ on various topics

[00:07:23] such as religion, finances and culture

[00:07:25] while I do respect Maria

[00:07:27] and enjoyed my time with her

[00:07:29] for a long time relationship involving marriage and children

[00:07:31] I prefer someone who is

[00:07:33] I prefer someone who shares more similarities to me

[00:07:35] my own family also

[00:07:37] felt that Maria and I weren't a good match in the long run

[00:07:39] though they did acknowledge

[00:07:41] there is a nice girl

[00:07:43] firstly Maria and I have very different opinions

[00:07:45] on religion

[00:07:47] I don't want to get too bogged down in the details

[00:07:49] but I feel like this was a major obstacle

[00:07:51] to us forming a lasting relationship

[00:07:53] especially considering

[00:07:55] how we both wanted children eventually

[00:07:57] second we both come from different places financially

[00:07:59] Maria is in a significant amount of debt

[00:08:01] both student loans and credit card debt

[00:08:03] while I don't judge being in debt

[00:08:05] I do think Maria could be more careful with her finances

[00:08:07] I admit that I have more privileged perspective than her

[00:08:09] so I might not fully understand her financial struggles

[00:08:11] nonetheless during our time together

[00:08:13] I felt like she would typically spend more

[00:08:15] than she should

[00:08:17] lastly Maria and I have different cultural backgrounds

[00:08:19] though we're both Americans

[00:08:21] we come from different cultures

[00:08:23] we're both American

[00:08:25] we're both American

[00:08:28] we're both Americans

[00:08:30] we come from different walks of life

[00:08:32] which was a point of contention for my family

[00:08:34] especially my older sister

[00:08:36] female 36

[00:08:38] and sometimes for even myself during certain points

[00:08:40] in our relationship

[00:08:42] I'd also like to acknowledge that I'm fairly certain

[00:08:44] Maria still has feelings for me

[00:08:46] whenever we talk privately

[00:08:48] she loves to reminisce about our time together

[00:08:50] and usually refers to it as the happiest time of her life

[00:08:52] not to mention

[00:08:54] if I mention to her a date I've been on

[00:08:56] but she tries to hide it

[00:08:58] moving on to the update

[00:09:00] I spoke with my older brother Brad

[00:09:02] male 32 over the phone since posting

[00:09:04] and he said that he thinks it's time

[00:09:06] Maria and I completely part ways

[00:09:08] our differences were already big

[00:09:10] and now whether having a child

[00:09:12] is completely unrealistic for anything to ever work out between us

[00:09:16] Brad believes that by maintaining contact

[00:09:18] I'm only giving Maria false hope

[00:09:20] of us getting back together

[00:09:22] he also thinks that given how Maria's friends

[00:09:25] I'm not going to be able to react to my absences

[00:09:27] it's clear they are all hoping we get back together

[00:09:29] I hoped I'd be able to remain friends with Maria

[00:09:31] but after hearing my brother

[00:09:33] and doing some self-reflection

[00:09:35] I realised that I couldn't do so in good faith

[00:09:37] I didn't plan on suddenly cutting contact

[00:09:39] since Maria just had a baby and all

[00:09:41] but I will be winding down

[00:09:43] contact in the coming weeks and months

[00:09:45] however for the next month or so

[00:09:47] I'll mostly act like I normally do

[00:09:49] since it's very difficult time for her

[00:09:51] and our social circle is already small

[00:09:53] Monday evening I got a call from Maria

[00:09:55] and chatted for a bit

[00:09:57] and she mentioned how she'd like me and some of our friends to come

[00:09:59] and meet the baby in a few weeks

[00:10:01] when he gets bigger and stronger

[00:10:03] I did agree to this

[00:10:05] and we'll be getting together at her place in about a month

[00:10:07] to see the little guy

[00:10:09] she also shared some photos of him with me

[00:10:11] and again mentioned the nervousness

[00:10:13] about raising him alone

[00:10:15] when I asked her about the father

[00:10:17] she admitted she hadn't spoken to him in a while

[00:10:19] which is frustrating

[00:10:21] I wish Maria all the best

[00:10:23] and hope she finds her way through parenthood

[00:10:25] and the top comments on that update

[00:10:27] little bit funny says

[00:10:29] please just cut contact

[00:10:31] I did agree to this

[00:10:33] and we'll be getting together at her place in about a month

[00:10:35] to see the little guy

[00:10:37] this is not cutting contact

[00:10:39] this is laying the groundwork for her to use as leverage

[00:10:41] to say that the baby loves you

[00:10:43] and misses you

[00:10:45] just block her and be done with it

[00:10:47] nowhere near Berlin says

[00:10:50] Brad believes that by maintaining contact

[00:10:52] I'm only giving Maria false hope of us getting back together

[00:10:55] and then says I agree with Bro here

[00:10:57] this friendship needs to end so that Maria can move on

[00:11:00] she won't if you stay in her life

[00:11:02] unfortunately

[00:11:04] it sucks to lose a friend

[00:11:06] I'm sorry

[00:11:08] I'm glad those comments did say that at the end there

[00:11:10] because I was certainly feeling like that

[00:11:12] that update didn't feel good to me at all

[00:11:14] it just felt like you're just dragging this out

[00:11:16] when it needs to happen

[00:11:18] I know in some ways

[00:11:20] OP is trying to do the right thing by her

[00:11:22] they don't want to leave her when she's already pretty vulnerable

[00:11:24] but the path that OP is taking at the moment

[00:11:26] just feels like it's going to create

[00:11:28] more drama down the road

[00:11:30] like the commenter said

[00:11:32] when you turn up and meet this baby

[00:11:34] it just feels like

[00:11:36] and her comments about being a single parent

[00:11:38] of course

[00:11:40] I imagine that's pretty scary right

[00:11:42] but it just feels like

[00:11:44] it's all setting OP up

[00:11:47] this father role if you like

[00:11:49] and many of the comments saying

[00:11:51] very very similar like

[00:11:53] don't drag this out

[00:11:55] but what do you guys make of this situation

[00:11:57] maybe you have a different opinion on the matter

[00:11:59] let us know your thoughts down

[00:12:01] in the comments below

[00:12:03] and let's move on to another story

[00:12:46] shopify.com

[00:13:17] Now our next story

[00:13:19] does have an update

[00:13:21] a lot of comments that I've seen

[00:13:23] so far I haven't actually read the story myself yet

[00:13:25] but a lot of the comments I was seeing

[00:13:27] on the back of it was saying this

[00:13:29] not quite concluded yet

[00:13:31] so you know

[00:13:33] if you don't want to listen to it

[00:13:35] totally up to you time stamps down in the description

[00:13:37] all that good stuff

[00:13:39] the story is from a deleted user

[00:13:41] who says I'm married to a woman

[00:13:43] who acts like a teenage girl

[00:13:45] from the true off my chest subreddit

[00:13:47] it says

[00:13:49] my wife behaves like a teenage girl

[00:13:51] and I don't know whether to laugh or cry

[00:13:53] this is just a rant

[00:13:55] curious to know how many full grown adults

[00:13:57] behave the way my wife does

[00:13:59] I'd say out of all of the adult women

[00:14:01] I know like friends relatives

[00:14:03] wives are my friends

[00:14:05] none of them behave this way

[00:14:07] unless they keep it a closely guarded secret

[00:14:09] edited right here to add that

[00:14:11] my wife is in her 30s for context

[00:14:13] my wife is always obsessed with somebody

[00:14:15] a man or sometimes multiple men at one time

[00:14:19] usually there is one or two main focuses

[00:14:21] at a time

[00:14:23] I talk obsessed

[00:14:25] I mean obsessed like a teenage girl

[00:14:27] or maybe even preteen girl would be

[00:14:29] I've seen pictures of her bedroom

[00:14:31] when she was at that age

[00:14:33] and there were literally warpapers in posters of her favorite guys

[00:14:35] that's totally normal for a 13 year old girl

[00:14:37] she still behaves that way

[00:14:39] as a woman in her 30s

[00:14:42] granted our bedroom walls aren't wallpapers

[00:14:44] in posters but they probably would be

[00:14:46] if I allowed it

[00:14:48] her obsessions have ranged from

[00:14:50] rock stars, actors, non entertainment

[00:14:52] industry public figures

[00:14:54] just like one day she hasn't even heard of the guy

[00:14:56] in question and the next day

[00:14:58] she's super fan number one

[00:15:00] and knows just about everything there is to know about him

[00:15:02] she will read and watch everything there is

[00:15:04] to watch about the man

[00:15:06] she will bring him up in every conversation

[00:15:08] she will adopt parts of him into her own personality

[00:15:10] she will suggest things that make it clear to me

[00:15:12] that she wants to adopt characteristics of these men

[00:15:14] as part of my appearance or personality

[00:15:16] she will openly admit to me

[00:15:18] that she's masturbated over the guy multiple times

[00:15:20] in one day

[00:15:22] when she finds a new man to obsess over

[00:15:24] she puts the others in a little stable of men

[00:15:26] who she always has a place in her heart

[00:15:28] and in her fantasies

[00:15:30] so they never really go away

[00:15:32] the new man just takes center stage

[00:15:34] and becomes the main focus

[00:15:36] of her entire life

[00:15:39] so the current obsession is so strange to me

[00:15:41] never saw this one coming

[00:15:43] but leave it to her to always find somebody new

[00:15:45] to fall in love with

[00:15:47] the intensity that she has during these periods

[00:15:49] is honestly like she falls in love with these men

[00:15:51] I'm laughing so hard just typing this all

[00:15:53] her current obsession is Brett Hart

[00:15:55] not Brett the hit man Hart surely

[00:15:57] the former pro wrestler

[00:15:59] it is the best of the best

[00:16:01] I'm not going to say that

[00:16:03] I'm not going to say that

[00:16:05] I'm not going to say that

[00:16:07] this woman had never watched wrestling before in her life

[00:16:09] always thought that stuff was below her

[00:16:11] and now she's obsessed with this former pro wrestler

[00:16:13] she's watched one show about him

[00:16:15] for reasons I'm not aware of

[00:16:17] and I could tell almost instantly

[00:16:19] where it was headed

[00:16:21] I thought here we go

[00:16:23] so now the Brett Hart obsession is in full swing

[00:16:25] has she already dropped close to a thousand dollars

[00:16:27] in vintage Brett Hart shirts on eBay

[00:16:29] of course

[00:16:31] for all the stickers and magnets

[00:16:33] and all the other things

[00:16:35] and all sorts of other stupid crap she can find

[00:16:37] yep

[00:16:39] that she sent me Brett the Hart YouTube clips all day long

[00:16:41] when she's supposed to be working

[00:16:43] yes she does

[00:16:45] so I better get to work

[00:16:47] on brushing up my Brett Hart knowledge and taglines

[00:16:49] this is the key to getting laid

[00:16:51] when it comes to her

[00:16:53] I'm used to this by now

[00:16:55] it's just not something I can easily explain

[00:16:57] to anyone I know

[00:16:59] I mean there's things I'm a fan of

[00:17:01] but she is next level

[00:17:04] I can't think of anyone I know who is her age

[00:17:06] and acts like this

[00:17:08] she was voted most likely to grow up

[00:17:10] and become a groupie when she was in high school

[00:17:12] so this is absolutely nothing new for her

[00:17:14] Sai

[00:17:18] as always there was some comments with opi responding

[00:17:20] get bread not heads says

[00:17:22] you pretended to act like other men

[00:17:24] for 20 years

[00:17:26] damn dude I hope you're finding ways

[00:17:28] to accept it and cope

[00:17:30] that sounds rough

[00:17:32] stay strong king

[00:17:34] opi says now

[00:17:36] I just learned the catchphrases

[00:17:38] or gained some deep fan knowledge

[00:17:40] that I'm impressed at all

[00:17:42] maybe perfect the vocal impression of them

[00:17:44] I can drop at the opportune time

[00:17:46] the vocal impersonations work the best

[00:17:48] as far as making her like me

[00:17:50] and being like okay

[00:17:52] when I have sex now

[00:17:54] lost library book says

[00:17:56] but what you guys actually shared together

[00:17:58] that's not related to the obsession of the season

[00:18:01] I'm not going to lie

[00:18:03] this is all pretty grim to me

[00:18:05] my man I'm someone who loves having a partner

[00:18:07] who's passionate about things and nerds out

[00:18:09] I fear that you spent so long

[00:18:11] with her infatuation

[00:18:13] steamrolling over you in your own interests

[00:18:15] and preferences that

[00:18:17] you have convinced yourself that getting attention by proxy

[00:18:19] is your main source of validation

[00:18:21] from your spells is a healthy way to live

[00:18:23] if I told you that I was big into anime

[00:18:25] or Japanese RPGs

[00:18:27] and the only way I get interested in doing it

[00:18:29] with my actual wife is

[00:18:31] if she adopts the cat raises or personality characteristics

[00:18:33] of my latest

[00:18:35] waifu

[00:18:37] would you feel some concern for my wife's mental health

[00:18:39] I'm also wondering about this spending

[00:18:41] hopey says she's pretty dismissive

[00:18:43] of my interests and hobbies

[00:18:45] I'd like her to pretend to show a little more interest sometimes

[00:18:47] I make an effort

[00:18:49] to show real interest in her stuff

[00:18:51] and she does not do the same

[00:18:53] I'm very into music

[00:18:55] and I do geek out over guitars and gear

[00:18:57] and she couldn't tell you anything about any of the guitars I own

[00:18:59] other than

[00:19:01] he has a blue one, he has a red one

[00:19:03] we do love some of the same bands

[00:19:05] of course she wants to fuck the band members

[00:19:07] and I just want to talk about the chord progression

[00:19:09] of my favorite guitar tracks

[00:19:11] but it's close enough

[00:19:13] we like a lot of the same movies and that sort of thing

[00:19:15] we have the same sense of humor

[00:19:17] and can keep each other laughing for ages

[00:19:19] we have a lot of the same views on life

[00:19:21] and the world in general

[00:19:23] I don't know

[00:19:26] I would be concerned about the waifu thing

[00:19:28] but I guess in my case

[00:19:30] she always likes guys who I think are pretty cool anyway

[00:19:32] she has good taste at least

[00:19:34] if she has to be obsessing over

[00:19:36] some other guy constantly

[00:19:38] at least she does it over guys I can respect on some level

[00:19:42] regarding the spending

[00:19:44] I spend way more than she does

[00:19:46] only difference is

[00:19:48] it's not usually fan merch I'm buying

[00:19:50] but she tolerates my spending

[00:19:52] when it comes to stuff like guitar gear

[00:19:54] she always arrives and reprimands me

[00:19:56] but she tolerates it and just knows I won't stop

[00:19:58] I'm the same when it comes to her fan stuff

[00:20:00] I get it

[00:20:02] she wants the vintage 1993

[00:20:04] Bret Hart shirt that calls hundreds

[00:20:06] on a modern t-shirt

[00:20:08] anyone could go online and buy for $25 right now

[00:20:10] she wants the cool rare stuff

[00:20:12] I'm the same with my guitars

[00:20:14] so I guess it's like we understand each other in some way

[00:20:16] I think it's weird to become a fan of somebody

[00:20:18] and two days later drop thousands on them though

[00:20:20] at least my money paid

[00:20:23] at least my money pit is consistent

[00:20:25] I think we both feel like we're the only person

[00:20:27] who semi-understands and tolerate all this stuff from each other

[00:20:29] and for me

[00:20:31] that is pretty concerning

[00:20:33] the amount of hyper fixation

[00:20:35] in one place

[00:20:37] and don't get me wrong

[00:20:39] I hyper fixate on certain things as well

[00:20:41] but the level of this

[00:20:43] just sounds like it's getting out of hand

[00:20:45] or has been out of hand for some time now

[00:20:47] and there were many comments

[00:20:49] making light about the hitman

[00:20:51] not making

[00:20:53] not making light of any sort of mental illness

[00:20:55] or anything like that

[00:20:57] but the actual situation

[00:20:59] itself

[00:21:01] I don't know where OP is going to go with this one

[00:21:03] but we're gonna dive straight into the update that says

[00:21:05] I recently wrote about my wife

[00:21:07] suddenly discovering former wrestler

[00:21:09] Bret the hitman heart

[00:21:11] one day

[00:21:13] after never knowing of his existence

[00:21:15] experienced love at first sight

[00:21:17] and is now even deeper in love with him than she was a month ago

[00:21:19] tonight I experienced a good hour of her sobbing

[00:21:21] literal sobs

[00:21:23] after watching the Bret heart

[00:21:25] A&E biography

[00:21:27] I just love him so much

[00:21:29] I love him with all my heart

[00:21:31] I don't want any more bad things to happen to him

[00:21:33] also, I'm very jealous he's not my husband

[00:21:35] but

[00:21:37] she also went from

[00:21:39] wanting any kids to suddenly wanting a baby

[00:21:41] so she can name it Bret

[00:21:43] a girl or boy doesn't matter

[00:21:45] they will be named Bret

[00:21:48] and she almost had me convinced

[00:21:50] I blame that on the heat of the moment

[00:21:52] she's bought all sorts of clothes just like his

[00:21:54] my wife now dresses like Bret heart

[00:21:56] in and outside the ring

[00:21:58] wow

[00:22:00] just jumping in the middle of a story here

[00:22:02] so I do apologize for that

[00:22:04] I was a big fan of wrestling when I was younger

[00:22:06] we used to you know role play

[00:22:08] wrestling with our friends and stuff

[00:22:10] and Bret the hitman heart was a big character back then

[00:22:12] have you seen how he dresses

[00:22:14] especially in the ring

[00:22:16] I would just say I'm not making light of that situation

[00:22:18] but holy moly

[00:22:20] we continue

[00:22:22] the past few days she's been acting really annoyed with me

[00:22:24] finally I'm like what the fuck am I doing wrong

[00:22:26] I bought you Bret heart stuff

[00:22:28] for your birthday

[00:22:30] I call you Mrs Bret heart now

[00:22:32] even though you're my wife

[00:22:34] I even sent you flowers at work from

[00:22:36] Bret

[00:22:38] I mean

[00:22:40] I was supposed to get me points because

[00:22:42] she knew they were from me and I was playing into her obsession

[00:22:45] which she's now apparently shared with

[00:22:47] everyone she works with

[00:22:49] they brought her a giant Bret heart wall

[00:22:51] decal for her office

[00:22:53] okay so I did forget our

[00:22:55] anniversary which was very recently

[00:22:57] totally forgot it

[00:22:59] and again

[00:23:01] so did she

[00:23:03] she was too busy masturbating over Bret heart

[00:23:05] to remember our wedding anniversary

[00:23:07] I mean that had husband points for me obviously

[00:23:09] but all the birthday gifts

[00:23:11] had to have made up for it

[00:23:13] I even ordered a Bret heart birthday dinner banner

[00:23:15] and got her a Bret heart themed birthday cake

[00:23:17] as if she were a seven year old boy

[00:23:19] in the year 1994

[00:23:21] so why is she acting so annoyed lately

[00:23:23] why does she act like she hates me

[00:23:25] and can't even stand to be in the same room as me

[00:23:27] finally she admits

[00:23:29] I'm not Bret heart

[00:23:31] none of her obsession

[00:23:33] has ever been this bad

[00:23:35] she's seriously threatening me with divorce now

[00:23:37] because I'm not Bret heart

[00:23:39] she just wants a guy like that

[00:23:41] she had to go walk the dog today and cry over it

[00:23:43] how much she hates me

[00:23:45] and wishes she was married to Bret heart

[00:23:47] oh fuck me

[00:23:49] you want a guy like your dad

[00:23:51] because that's what Bret heart is like

[00:23:53] exactly like her dad

[00:23:55] the same look, the same hair

[00:23:57] the same damn age

[00:23:59] I told her I think she should get checked out for autism

[00:24:01] or some other sort of disorder

[00:24:03] her obsessions have never been this bad

[00:24:05] she should make an appointment now

[00:24:07] because the wait list is long

[00:24:10] there's nothing wrong with her

[00:24:12] she just has different taste in men now

[00:24:14] according to her

[00:24:16] holy moly

[00:24:18] we're in new territory folks

[00:24:20] Psychic says therapist here

[00:24:22] she needs to see a psychiatrist

[00:24:24] this is mental illness to the extreme

[00:24:26] either she goes or you leave

[00:24:28] this is ultimatum territory

[00:24:30] and stop giving into obsession

[00:24:32] it makes it worse

[00:24:34] Waltz says man

[00:24:36] when she threatens divorce take it

[00:24:38] hell sit be a good boy

[00:24:40] and offer your fucking poor if that's what it takes to get treated to an exit strategy

[00:24:44] don't worry about dignity

[00:24:46] sounds like you gave all that up a long time ago

[00:24:48] Popy says she's even looked up the divorce process for where we live

[00:24:52] and says we can be amicable about everything

[00:24:54] she just shows me she's not looking to take

[00:24:56] anything that is rightfully mine

[00:24:58] she just wants a clean break

[00:25:00] Popy says

[00:25:02] I'm surprised it has even lasted this long

[00:25:04] calling her miss Bret heart

[00:25:07] I can't even fathom

[00:25:09] Popy says excuse me

[00:25:11] it's Mrs Bret heart

[00:25:13] not miss

[00:25:15] I pay all of our shared bills

[00:25:17] mortgage car insurance or utilities

[00:25:19] internet etc

[00:25:21] P. Jerky says what's the old saying

[00:25:23] crazy is fun to sleep with but terrible to be married to

[00:25:25] something like that

[00:25:27] sounds like she'd be a blast in the sack

[00:25:29] but terrible to be in committed relationship

[00:25:31] Popy says that's pretty much it

[00:25:33] but I also mentioned

[00:25:35] my word

[00:25:37] very very rare that I'm lost for words on these stories

[00:25:39] but

[00:25:41] I'm pretty lost for words on this one

[00:25:43] and I can only think to that

[00:25:45] at first comment

[00:25:47] on the update that says

[00:25:49] you even need to get help or get out of this

[00:25:51] because currently you're enabling it

[00:25:53] and it just seems to be making things worse

[00:25:55] but that's certainly enough

[00:25:57] ready for the next round

[00:25:59] and I'm going to go ahead and say

[00:26:01] I'm going to go ahead and say

[00:26:03] that's certainly enough Reddit for me today

[00:26:05] anyway I'm going to turn this one

[00:26:07] to you guys what do you guys make of

[00:26:09] this situation

[00:26:11] let me know your thoughts down in the comments below

[00:26:13] just a huge thank you

[00:26:15] from the bottom of my heart for getting involved
