[00:00:43] Today I effed up subreddit and says today I fucked up by turning my girlfriend into a freaking

[00:00:50] orange. There is one background fact that is crucial to this story. Every morning my

[00:00:55] girlfriend wakes up, reaches for a moisturizer and puts it on before she is even fully awake.

[00:01:02] She says it's the only way she doesn't forget it. On to the actual fuckup. On Thursday

[00:01:07] I was hanging out with my little sister's room as she was putting on makeup for our family

[00:01:11] dinner. Now sis is in a bit of a phase. Mum with her makeup, she puts on an allitre

[00:01:18] fuck ton of cream that is supposed to make her skin bronze. The result is more like

[00:01:23] bright orange. As I watched there I realized the cream was kind of sore as the same shade

[00:01:28] as my girlfriend's moisturizer. Immediately a brilliant plan formed in my mind. I asked

[00:01:34] my sister if she would mind lending me a bottle of cream and she was game. She has a

[00:01:39] horde of that stuff. Late into the night as my girlfriend was sleeping I implemented

[00:01:44] my cunning plan, replacing the moisturizer in its little jar with my sister's bronze

[00:01:50] cream. Friday morning started just as I really

[00:01:53] envisiant. The girlfriend bolted out right at the sound of her alarm. Reach for the moisturizer

[00:01:59] like I said she does this on absolute autopilot so she slathered her face in bright orange

[00:02:05] well and good before she realized something was wrong and ran to the mirror as I started

[00:02:09] laughing. What I thought would happen was she would laugh it off, she is always game

[00:02:14] for pranks and maybe ten minutes late to work taking it off. A work doesn't care. Instead

[00:02:20] she turned to me and began screaming her head off. She then slowly dawned on me that

[00:02:25] Friday morning she had an interview for a dream job and she told me about this numerous

[00:02:32] times. As I provided beautiful support and encouragement yet somehow completely forgot

[00:02:36] about it. You think this is bad? Nah, to make matters worse I tried to damage control

[00:02:43] by saying I thought the interview was next Friday instead. Instead of saying I forgot. She

[00:02:48] pointed out just a couple of days ago I booked this Friday to Monday trip starting next

[00:02:53] Friday. Being a smart woman she is, girlfriend

[00:02:57] I have woken up for an interview early enough she had time to take off the cream and fix

[00:03:00] her face. But the cream had given us some sort of reaction leaving her face swollen and

[00:03:05] itchy. The top of it all off a moisturizer is very expensive and hard to get. I was planning

[00:03:11] to replace it of course but I was taking it back at the price. Why didn't I just place

[00:03:16] it into a small top of where or something instead of throwing it out is beyond me? Obviously

[00:03:22] the entire thing threw my girlfriend off her groove. Around four last night I cautiously

[00:03:26] texted to ask how the interview went. She responded, or right. Then texted me saying she

[00:03:32] wants to visit a best friend at night and will probably crash there even though we had

[00:03:36] plans to go out. It's all I've heard since. I hope you came in with a smaller update

[00:03:42] in the same post which just got some text from the lady. She said she didn't want to

[00:03:46] break up or anything but she has definitely taken a few days to call on. She also said

[00:03:51] that the prank itself was fine but the fact that I forgot about her job interview was

[00:03:55] a big deal. Finally, she said that if she doesn't get the job she would always wonder if

[00:04:00] she could have done better had this not happened and that could be a strain on our relationship.

[00:04:05] There is no point in getting upset ahead of time. As you can imagine I groveled my ass off

[00:04:10] deservedly. I never understand like pranks at these relationships. I know some relationships

[00:04:16] absolutely love them and all this kind of stuff. Like I said that apparently they like pranking

[00:04:22] each other but I mean really to this level empty out cream refilling it and waiting for the

[00:04:29] morning. It just doesn't feel good. I know it's not really the point of the story but I'm

[00:04:35] wondering how much this moisturiser cost. I've seen some expensive shit man and as soon as you

[00:04:40] said little jar I thought that sounds expensive. I don't know why and as always with these stories

[00:04:47] I try to get into like the person's thoughts what they're thinking at a time I just can't

[00:04:52] what what goes through your mind to think he he and know what they're gonna do here. I mean come on man

[00:04:58] and I hope he said like you thought the worst would happen at a take maybe 10 minutes later work

[00:05:03] which is bad in itself but and just while she was sort of like taking it off. Now I'm clueless about

[00:05:09] all this stuff and I'm gonna have to google it after I finish recording this but surely that's

[00:05:14] gonna it fades off rather than you can't wash the bronzer off like I don't know. And the bab says

[00:05:20] I'd recommend buying her a ton of the moisturiser as well as an apology note in a favorite candy

[00:05:25] flower some whatever and no more practical jokes for a long while. Opie says the thing with my

[00:05:31] girlfriend is she believing in pampering a person who you upset let them de-stress but she gets upset

[00:05:37] about what she perceives as tending to buy forgiveness it's a fine line that is not always easy

[00:05:43] to walk. I make sawdust says and quotes she said she didn't want to break up or anything but she's

[00:05:49] definitely taken a few days to cool off then says is code speak for she's considering breaking up

[00:05:55] don't know for sure when she tells you next week that she thinks it'll be best if you two

[00:05:59] hands all the weekend vacation you'd planned. Amlin bone says Jesus what a bonehead

[00:06:06] uh I've never actually been able to say that you're very lucky she didn't dump your ass straight

[00:06:12] away this kind of prank is a red flag in a relationship that shows you have poor judgment and don't

[00:06:17] think things through in addition to caring more about yourself doing something you thought would

[00:06:22] be funny and your girlfriend remembering an important day and respecting her things. I hope you

[00:06:27] have learned a valuable lesson from your fuck up and are preparing yourself for what may very well

[00:06:32] becoming soon and that is you being dumped wouldn't be at all surprised if her friends and or family

[00:06:39] have already encouraged her to do so. I know it may sound like a hard ass here but what you did just

[00:06:43] isn't cool and can't just be ridden off as just a backfired prank. Bloody bonehead and one more

[00:06:51] comment from zan pios as pro tip never prank someone involving anything they use on their skin or

[00:06:57] hair. I know it doesn't seem like it but it's kind of like fucking with someone's medication.

[00:07:01] Skin is very sensitive and without trying to generalize many women spend years learning what works

[00:07:06] for them and what doesn't. You really didn't think and showed some obviously negligent behavior

[00:07:12] towards your girlfriend frankly the whole story says to me that you do not actively listen to her

[00:07:16] and are dismissive in this respectful of her personal items and care. Wasn't there like a

[00:07:21] story a couple of years back about someone who put like hair dye in a shampoo bottle or their

[00:07:28] girlfriend and it was just like oh what the fuck do you think that what goes through your head man

[00:07:34] honestly. Oh OP did come back into update the post and says so I showed my girlfriend the posting

[00:07:40] she had a good laugh at all the creative ways you people deservedly ripped me a new asshole.

[00:07:45] We then agreed we should update you. She got the job unsurprisingly she is one of the smartest

[00:07:51] and most capable people I know. Where the kiss ass in. I've replaced the moisturizer

[00:07:58] and sincerely apologise for most stupidity and forgetting the interview date due to my own stress

[00:08:03] and being a general cred in as well as lying about it. I don't know why bone hair didn't

[00:08:11] cred in they just set me off man I'm generally forgiven but on probation and you can bet I will

[00:08:17] never fuck up like that again. My girlfriend wishes me to let you guys know her moisturizer was from

[00:08:23] HATCHER. Let me just google it quick. Holy shit that's some expensive stuff.

[00:08:30] Just chucking out some random prices of little tubs I can see a 67 93 13 pounds 125 pounds

[00:08:41] we'll continue now she also says that she is a bit mad so many people assume she wasn't saying

[00:08:45] the truth when she said she wasn't mad about the prank only about forgetting the interview and lying.

[00:08:51] I always mean exactly what I say thank you very much. That said I'll take your comments to

[00:08:56] heart and never ever mess with anyone's skincare or makeup again finally there was one unexpected

[00:09:01] development apparently my mom a sweet retired nurse who by her own admission struggles to navigate

[00:09:07] her own inbox is a redditor a friend from her facebook knitting group helped to set up an account

[00:09:12] because apparently reddit knitting community is really great anyway mom says reddit is easy to

[00:09:18] use except the search is a bit wonky lol my mom saw the post as it hit the first page and quickly

[00:09:24] pieced together it was from me thank god I used to throw away then in mum logic she actually didn't

[00:09:31] call me but my girlfriend completely mortified and they spent a half hour discussing what a freaking

[00:09:36] idiot I was. Your friend said it was a very bonding experience mom also says she left a

[00:09:42] comment on the original but I don't really want to search for it lol if you see this hi mom

[00:09:48] and there was a lot of talk about the expense of that moisturizer after and what would happen if

[00:09:53] you know they're over half got rid of a bunch of it it'd be a lot of our ruined relationships but

[00:09:59] what do you guys make of this situation put yourself in it how would you deal with it let us know

[00:10:05] your thoughts down in the comments below and let's move on to another story

[00:10:13] as a person with a very deep voice I'm hired all the time for advertising campaigns

[00:10:18] but a deep voice doesn't sell b2b an advertising on the wrong platform doesn't sell b2b either

[00:10:41] are on the path to becoming big wigs okay that's enough about wigs linkedin ads allows you to focus

[00:10:46] on getting your b2b message to the right people so does that mean you should use ads on linkedin

[00:11:39] find out how much at air bnb.com slash post

[00:11:48] and our next story comes from a deleted user from the relationship advice subreddit and says

[00:11:53] i found out that my fiance has been untruthful do i cancel everything my fiance and i

[00:12:00] are meant to be married this april it just moved in with me around september of last year

[00:12:06] we've been dating for five years of course there were a few quarrels as we tried to get used to living

[00:12:11] with each other but ultimately nothing serious but then this past three weeks things have really

[00:12:18] taken a turn it first started during new years eve he went out with his friends for drinks

[00:12:23] i'm not much of a drinker in i was tired from all the socializing during christmas so i decided

[00:12:28] to stay back i told him that it would be nice if you could come back before midnight but understand

[00:12:33] if he couldn't he came back around two a.m i could tell he was a little drunk but not the drunkest

[00:12:40] he's ever been he told me one of his new years resolutions was to have one day a week to just be

[00:12:45] our day and we chose saturday last four to the next week and the first saturday i was all excited

[00:12:52] to have our day and ordered some take away for us to have a chill day he got up and went to his pc

[00:12:59] and started playing a game with his friend instead i confronted him about it he said

[00:13:03] maybe sunday i was really hurt i stopped talking and went to be by myself while he continues gaming

[00:13:10] from here i stopped talking stop cooking stop doing any housework for four days i just focused

[00:13:16] on myself and went to work as usual this is the first time in five years i've done this usually

[00:13:22] i would forgive him a little too quickly i broke the silence because i noticed he has only been

[00:13:27] eating toast and hasn't showered since i stopped talking to him we made up talked it through and

[00:13:33] all is okay again fast forward to one and a half weeks from that initial argument we were playing

[00:13:39] board games together when he received a call that he quickly declined he said it's an unknown

[00:13:44] number so it could just be a scam call i told him it could be the energy guy who were waiting for an

[00:13:50] energy rating for the house so i called the number back and also some guy asking to speak to my fiance

[00:13:56] i asked him who he was he said he's been showing my fiance some flats around town

[00:14:01] my heart sank i confronted him about it and he told me that he'd been lying to me the past two

[00:14:07] weeks and has been house viewing he said he feels less attracted to me because i haven't been losing

[00:14:12] weight for the wedding like i said i would and all i do is stress eat well surprise surprise i've

[00:14:18] been doing the wedding planning all by myself i have a stressful job social care so when i get

[00:14:24] back from work i'm mentally drained but even then i would cook for him etc i'm just surprised at

[00:14:30] this person who couldn't plan a date to save his life could plan all of this by my back while i'm

[00:14:35] at work since then he's spoken to his GP and got back on anti-depressants and suggested we do couples

[00:14:42] counseling or she could add a lot more but i'm conscious that it's very long already i'm at the

[00:14:47] point where i just want to cancel everything but afraid that i'm jumping the gun too soon now i

[00:14:53] know depression does does crazy things to her the different people you know i've been through

[00:14:57] my self i know what i know what it's like but obviously it's different for other people at the same time

[00:15:03] but i think that really jumped out to me was in this moment when you were struggling to deal with

[00:15:08] everything and he even said to you that all you do is stress eat so he knows your stress he knows

[00:15:16] you're struggling instead of coming in to help you to support you like you'd expect in a marriage

[00:15:22] he chose that he's gonna make a run for it he was making a plan to get out of there

[00:15:27] and that pretty much just said it off me do you really want to continue down this path i don't think

[00:15:32] i would want to and in the comments what the kpop cat says you quote your fiance making his exit plan

[00:15:38] behind your back and you still think it's going to be a wedding keep planning if you want to end

[00:15:43] up alone at the altar this guy is dumping you and doesn't have the courage to set it to your face

[00:15:48] but made detailed exit plans and started to work on them wake up it's over

[00:15:54] another commenter says he's once again forcing her to actually do the work of dumping him

[00:15:59] he bit daddy says when op was upset about the our day being rescheduled he just

[00:16:04] salted for days until op put the work to breaking the silence and speaking to him

[00:16:09] he didn't initiate conversation didn't apologize didn't acknowledge anything but

[00:16:13] salted around like a child on a hunger strike till op broke the silence to address it herself

[00:16:18] like pdx says he wants to talk about your weight when he hasn't washed his ass in de hes

[00:16:24] he didn't plan a date because he just doesn't want to he clearly does want to move out

[00:16:29] and he can work on his mental health on his own and can cook and clean for himself because

[00:16:33] that's all you are to him op updates their post in the same post and says i've cancelled the

[00:16:40] wedding and asked him to pay back all of the deposits to me which he did i've also asked him

[00:16:45] to continue his plans to move out but he is now hesitant and still wants to work things out

[00:16:50] he admitted that he doesn't love me anymore lol make it make sense give me a break

[00:16:56] i'm getting a lot of heat and nasty nasty things said you guys okay i'm here to answer some of

[00:17:02] the fhq's yes i did talk to him before saturday about what are we gonna do you want to go out

[00:17:08] to stay in so it's not just a drunk promise and he wasn't completely blindsided

[00:17:14] i understand that given the silent treatment was toxic and unacceptable and didn't help

[00:17:19] but please know that this was the first time i did that was so extremely tired mentally

[00:17:24] and emotionally exhausted because i have to say tell her nag him all the time and he's clearly

[00:17:29] not listening so i figured why waste my breath however i understand and accept that it's not the

[00:17:35] way to go majority of the time i'm always the first to try and thought things out after we both

[00:17:41] have calmed down and find a common ground move forward from there there was a time in the

[00:17:46] relationship where every time we have an argument he would call his mom and she would call me to tell

[00:17:51] me to be gentle with him he's only paying 25% of the wedding my dad and i are paying for the

[00:17:57] majority of it it is now the next morning i'm happy to announce that i am now a free woman

[00:18:03] oh i've slept on it and i didn't regret cancelling the wedding

[00:18:08] of course there is a little feeling of sadness in me i'm going to allow myself some time to

[00:18:13] grieve and hopefully it's onwards and upwards from here thank you everyone and edit he's now

[00:18:21] aware of this post last night i tried giving it one last shot at this but he said he doesn't love

[00:18:26] me anymore i was hoping that he will learn to love me again by april what that's what made me finally

[00:18:33] pull the trigger he said he's trying to change she also is not entirely his fault because

[00:18:37] i can choose what i eat too bare but really still someone says to op you wait a minute you guys got

[00:18:44] engaged before even living together but why hope he says because we come from different cultures and

[00:18:50] after dropping out from university he went back to his parents and gunslinger makes a comment which

[00:18:55] opi is going to reply to in a second it says it seems he hasn't easy excuse for anything he does

[00:19:00] that shady i majored in psychology while in college so i understood depression intellectually but when

[00:19:06] my wife of over 18 years told me she wanted a divorce it came to understand depression far more

[00:19:12] personally so from a guy that's been there i can tell you that previously depressed people want

[00:19:18] nothing to do with depression once it's in remission unless he wasn't very depressed last thing

[00:19:23] he'd want to say about himself is that the depression has raised his ugly head to tell me other than

[00:19:30] his saying the depression made him do it one of the signs were evident that his mood was on the

[00:19:35] downswing his first reason for seeking other living arrangements was that you hadn't lost weight

[00:19:40] for the wedding now he's supposedly taking and he depressants again once couples counseling

[00:19:46] anything but acknowledging that he was showing his bastard side i recommend however that

[00:19:51] he seek personal counseling to chase the snakes out of his head i also recommend that you completely

[00:19:57] re-evaluate him and whether he truly adds anything to your life hope you responded saying thank

[00:20:03] if you're coming you know what's funny i have a master's in psychology and this whole thing

[00:20:08] made me question myself how can i not tell he was depressed how could i this that and the other

[00:20:15] i've not only studied it i've lived and experienced it too every time we have a big argument his mom

[00:20:21] would find out this time it wasn't him telling her but i called her myself i have a good relationship

[00:20:27] with his parents and i loved him dearly i call them because my parents are in a different country

[00:20:32] and every time his mom would tell me to be gentle with him because maybe he's depressed i'm so

[00:20:37] tired of all these excuses no one here is extending me the same grace all my friends and family are far

[00:20:44] away but i can always run home to mummy and daddy plus he has friends nearby too just looking back at it

[00:20:51] his routine is go to work go out for board games with his friends every monday hub quiz and his friends

[00:20:56] on choose day he games every day sometimes goes out for drinks with friends on the weekends etc etc

[00:21:02] what's all i do is work come back home housework wedding planning sleep go work again i think i'm more

[00:21:08] depressed than he is any time to grieve but i will be okay i think it'd be interested in down the road

[00:21:15] and i'll certainly keep an eye out for that update but hope opi comes in one day and gives us like

[00:21:19] an update on their future because i think it'd be very very different like they said they need time

[00:21:25] to grieve their relationship although it seems like it the many of us looking in it was an awful one

[00:21:31] but when you're living it normalizing it you know it just becomes part of your routine so once

[00:21:36] they've stepped out of it and they're living their own life doing their own things doing stuff with

[00:21:40] their friends their own hobbies you know just going out and enjoying life a bit they'll be really

[00:21:45] interested to see how their attitude changes and i certainly do wish the best for them

[00:21:51] but now i'm going to turn this one to you guys what do you guys make of this

[00:21:56] situation let us know your thoughts down in the comments below they're just a huge thank you
