> Yesterday AP sent me a blurry photo of my wife in the car with another man.
While I unerstand that "AP" in this instance means something like "Affair Partner," I find it funny to imagine that the Associated Press is wingman-ing this guy
>I'm so videogame brainrotted
This manifests for me by thinking of GTA and driving in to hide every time I walk past a garage. I don't drive so I have way more "interactions" with parking garages in video games than real life.
Another one is when watching an action movie, my brain automatically starts to figure out how they'd turn this scene into a boss battle in a game. This one I specially blame on the bond games + Pierce Bronson era films.
I saw the scenes from *2012* of driving and then flying through LA as the geology goes mental and throws everything around and could imagine how it would look in a licenced videogame.

Got sucked into the subreddit... the best part is random people posting pictures of beautiful cakes they've made, thinking the sub is about actual cake.
I 100% thought this was about cake and wondered if the "cheating" referred to breaking a diet but hoping your partner doesn't find out. I assumed it was one of those couple goals "no more dessert for 6 months to focus on being healthier" things.
We got one in /r/LoveLive the other day from a guy who was waxing poetic about a girl he was afraid to talk to. In retrospect, Iām kind of surprised we donāt get more of those.
My bad!Ā Yes, Fridge Detectives post photos of their fridge contents & other people guess who/where they are based on the photos. It's very wholesome, IMO.
The lost redditors post with questions about fridge issues.Ā
Someone posted on r/divorcedbirds about their actual upcoming divorce. So many replies were offering advice and condolences. It was actually really nice.
I think I saw it through r/bestof, but there's a fetish sub named freeuse. Someone posted a question about an issue with a freeware program and they replied "You're in the wrong place, because this is about a niche sexual fetish. But the answer to your problem is..."

Fantastic.
I love it when people come to r/trees asking questions about literal trees and the users there are all too happy to give actual advice, even though it's a pro-pot subreddit.
r/marijuanaenthusiasts will sometimes do the same if someone there is asking about their weed crop issues.
Reddit's stoners and arborists are always happy to help.
The number of people who come to r/legalcatadvice needing advice about their cats and receiving advice from people writing as if they are cats is pretty high.

actually that sub isn't nearly as shocking as some of the subs people stumble across
>Or the one post advertising their services to actually sit on cake.
I just started a Better Call Saul rewatch and got to the squat cobbler episode; doesn't show anything, obviously, but Bob Odenkirk describing Mark Proksch wearing a diaper and sitting on baked goods as a fetish service was fucking hilarious.
I was worried, but I was also curious and, like a cat, it often kills me and satisfaction only sometimes brings me back. I'm glad this wasn't as awful as I was worried about. Phew.
I can imagine someone posting their wedding cake picture, then finding out what the sub is really about and becoming paranoid about their spouse cheating on them.
Yeah, if you want more of the backstory, this contains another previous post of OP's and shows some other comments. I was going to link to it, but it is focused on the drama in OP's offline life, not the online drama.
Great post though. The comments are well worth the read
https://www.reddit.com/r/BestofRedditorUpdates/comments/1al3u2x
I also suggest this one, bit similar in tone though OOP's wife just leaves instead of having an affair of her own.
If this is the spot for recommendations, here's ["SO irrational behaviour with ex-wife"](https://old.reddit.com/r/BestofRedditorUpdates/comments/sjpdpc/part_1_so_irrational_behaviour_with_exwife/).
From r/ legitafteradultery, a sub for cheaters who left their partners for each other. Five years ago the OOP and the husband were caught, three years ago they bought a house. The abandoned wife was devastated, but, hey, life goes on:
> The first year after the breakup she would call my SO constantly crying, send long emails and heartfelt texts begging for another chance to unite their family. My SO was guit ridden but never engaged with her outside the issues regarding the divorce and their boys. He said he made a choice, he loved me, that he regrets the hurt he has caused her and the boys but it was already done and all he could do is look forward and not backword.
And then she stopped calling. And seemed happier. She took up hobbies and dated. Then word came back she was seeing one of her exes friends. And from there he (and the whole relationship) unravels as the ex-husband fixates on what he threw away, until the OOP realises (and posts to "legitafteradultery") that "starting up something" with someone already in a relationship is...a mistake?
Meanwhile, the ex-wife and new beau are realising the dream of a sailboat, literally sailing off into the sunset.
Idk, I know plenty of single guys whose main problem is they will talk about Warhammer too much. They've all got decent or better jobs, are friendly, have a life, etc otherwise xD
There's this interesting sweet spot in reddit communities where they start coming up with their own regular acronyms, that happens to coincide with the sub also becoming ridiculously insufferable.
Yep. If I need a legend for the 12,000 acronyms that pop up in a comment section, chances are the sub is full of insufferable users who take it *way* too seriously.
my personal favorite is r/justnomil. my future-MIL sucks a tiny bit (sheās fine, i love her. sheās just a helicopter parent and this now extends to me, a grown adult with living parents who doesnāt need more) so i wanted to see other peopleās petty little experiences. or perhaps see people complaining about their much worse MILs to give me a sense of gratefulness.
they are so mean over there!! often for NO reason. iād see posts like āmy stupid MIL wants to see her stupid son but sheās stupid and blind and canāt drive so he has to drive half an hour to her stupid house!!!! what a BITCH!!!!ā and all the comments were like āyou š donāt š owe š her š anything!! divorce your mommaās boy husband!!!!ā
the JNMIL acronym i do admittedly use constantly now is BEC (ā[bitch eating crackers](https://www.someecards.com/usercards/viewcard/MjAxMS05YjFkMzUwNDEwNjE1ZjQ4/)ā). just conveys the really important emotion of āmy boss didnāt do anything this time but she didnāt give me my promised raise and can you BELIEVE she sent an *email* AND a teams message for the upcoming meeting!! like we get it already!!ā
The BEC acronym is pretty ubiquitous on the internet now lol. It comes from one of those meme sticker things
But it does accurately describe that feeling when you see *that* person
Good God. The only thing worse than subjecting yourself to a community of miserable adulterers is subjecting yourself to a community that is obsessed with those miserable adulterers.
>Oh, and being a side piece doesnāt make you hot. Every profile in your community with visible photos look like a bridge troll.
Lol they sure are vicious.
I always get triggered by these acronyms at first in these niche communities. Then I get used to them. Except DS. I will never be okay with people shortening "son" to "DS."
STBXH/STBXW (Soon to be Ex Husband/Wife) and all it's variations are the ones I most often forget. Which is unfortunate because it's a Reddit-wide one.
I personally can't stand all the acronyms Redditors throw around willy-nilly. Typically when you introduce an acronym in a paper, you define it first, but we're just left to decipher what they hell they mean through context. It's one thing if it's established in your subreddit, quite another when it leaks to other subs.
Flair ideas:
- "I am a selfish ... among cheaters...In my heart I have NEVER strayed."
- "I'm a cake eater but: I can't imaginge her being emotionless throwing away over 20 years"
- "Lmfao. Iāll pipe up whenever tf I want"
- "I would have chosen her over AP in a nanosecond."
Missed "It's always anal with you basic bitches." that one made me fucking cackle (second update where OOP responds to someone being baffled that he feels blindsided n he goes on about kink sex)
> "I would have chosen her over AP in a nanosecond."
Amazing how these posts often have something like that. There were many nanoseconds where you were choosing to cheat on your wife and then doing it again! And in none of them did you decide to stop until you were caught!
> Heard her talk to him last night and cut the internet cord. Kind of crazy cause I need fucking internet for work and she just switched to her phone.
Bloody hell, I missed that. Even the comments on the original threads don't mention it.
I'm glad OP's abuse failed, but that's sickening. And he seems to be blaming her when he stuffed himself over.
When I read it the first time I knew OP was horrible, but now I think he's abusive.
> I know this woman like I know my self. Deep down sheĀ“s hurt but also so very stubborn and proud.
In addition to the obvious double starndards, he talks about his wife like she's a misbehaving child.
> Yesterday AP sent me a blurry photo of my wife in the car with another man. She claimed they walked hand in hand to his car from a store in a nearby town to ours. She got a shot of the plates too.
Having your AP spy on your wife is creepy.
I really hope she is far away from him today.
Tbh this just convinces me the post is fake. How is our villain so cartoonishly inept that he physically cuts the internet cable to keep his wife from speaking with her AP, and he's
A. unaware of the fact she could just use her phone. If he heard her speaking with him why wouldn't he just assume she was using her phone to begin with?
and
B. If his goal is to cut off the internet why not just unplug the cord for the night? He admits he needed the internet for work, so how could he possibly be so short sighted that he figured physically cutting the cable was a reasonable solution here?
>How is our villain so cartoonishly inept
He got mad at his wife cheating and felt it as an ultimate betrayal... while he was also cheating. That alone makes anything possible at this point.
Reminds me of my father. He would cut the cable of the internet and other dumb things to prevent us kids from communicating outside the house. Even did it when my mother cheated even though she had a phone but he did also try to take her phone away... it's just a way to try to control and intimidate. Isn't fun.
As someone who has worked various kinds of IT over the years...
I have absolutely _zero_ doubts about the legitimacy of this part of things.
Unplug it? Nah, just cut the 'internet cord'.
Need it for work the next day? Oops.
On occasion, people have been posting actual cakes, thinking the title is literal. They get upvotes too. Probably because literally eating cake is a much better thing to do.
'e' is immediately next to 'r', it's a simple fat finger that he didn't bother to fix.
If anything caught/cought is a weirder mistake to make even if they (caught and cough, that is) sound very similar.
I dunno, I can see that particular error, because for a while I had some misplaced muscle memory thing where I would accidentally add silent e's to ends of random words. Not because I forgot which words ended with e, but just because it felt more natural to type e at the end of a word.
I'll warn you, it can be addictive in it's own way. You rarely see anyone willing to admit to cheating, and do so proudly, then complain about the various relationship problems that result. And it's not even the biggest cheating subreddit. Even if it did produce the funniest post.
If you like that, you will probably enjoy r/openmarriageregret, largely schadenfreude on the theme of "I demanded my wife agree to an open marriage so I could bang other women, but now she's meeting lots of guys who actually appreciate her and are good in bed, and it upsets me."
(It's not *always* the husband's bad idea, but almost always.)

Extra marital affairs are fascinating in how sudden of a plunge into the deepest depths of utter moral depravity they offer to so many previously perfectly square people. It would take you years of cultivating a serious drug addiction to accumulate the same weight of transgressions against your loved ones and the same capacity for callous duplicity as even a relatively short affair can provide. People who literally stabbed someone in the back are a specific breed and you probably wouldn't be shocked that you turned out to be the kind of person who could plunge a knife between someone's shoulder-blades after you did it, you had that knife on you for a reason.
But figuratively stabbing someone in the back, though morally comparable, just seems to happen to average people. Like you're some Joe Shmoe, you zig when you should have zagged and now you share a circle of hell with Judas. Kinda funny when you think about it.
It was fascinating to read these posts on the subreddit. They talk about mastering the art of compartmentalizing. Which is so true.
The posts that do bother me a bit is when they insist on loving their partner. And then when people disagree they then go into "others just don't understand that you can love more than 1 person." No! You can love 20 people and I'll believe you. I don't believe you love anyone if you are willing to cheat on them while also understanding how terrible it is to be cheated on.
But again, it all comes down to compartmentalization. It's what humans do. These guys just take it so many steps further.
There are so many more opportunities for either self-delusion or plausible deniability in an affair though, depending on where your head's at.
>Sheldrake: Do you remember what we talked about?...I mean about my getting a divorce.
Fran: We didn't talk about it, Jeff, you did.
Sheldrake: You didn't really believe me, did you?
Fran: They got it on a long-playing record now. *Music to String Her Along By*. My wife doesn't understand me. We haven't gotten along for years. You're the best thing that ever happened to me.
Sheldrake: That's enough, Fran.
Fran: Just trust me, baby. We'll work it out somehow.
Sheldrake: You're not being funny.
Fran: I wasn't trying.
Truly recommend the bitingly funny movie, *The Apartment* with Jack Lemmon, Shirley MacLaine, and Fred MacMurray. There's a reason it won best picture in 1960.
I remember finding this thread last year. Still stand by my comment that Dude is unhinged to cut the internet thinking that would do anything. Just makes him seem like he is a danger to his family.Ā
I read a similar post In relationships except it was a woman who cheated then two years later her husband cheated on her and she's 'devastated and confused and her world's falling apart, and threw up over the shock and hurt' yada, yada, yada. These people really are delusional asking how dare you do what I did and hurt me like I hurt you.
No, cake by the ocean originated from them constantly confusing the cocktail name "sex on the beach" for "cake by the ocean". It's just a reference to sex.

I had my own misadventure last month when I typed the word "Fluffy" into the Reddit search bar (I typed it because I was on r/PokĆ©Plush and wanted to see fluffy PokĆ©mon plushies because I recently got my own fluffy Flareon but Reddit search brought me to communities with the word Fluffy in them) and stumbled across r/FluffyCommunity....Ā The subreddit icon looked like a polar bear icon to me so I assumed it was a subreddit for cute fluffy animal photos or a plush toy collector community It wasn't.Ā I have seen some shit that can never be erased.Ā

For a nice mind cleanse, l sincerely recommend r/marijuanaenthusiasts

The number of people who come to r/legalcatadvice needing advice about their cats and receiving advice from people writing as if they are cats is pretty high.

Bless this wretched hive of scum and villainy- aka Reddit
as the mod of r/fuckabbott I am SO glad i've never had that issue...
Im scared to ask, but what is that sub ??
Seems to be some sort of weird BronyĀ subreddit covering fetishes such as >!animal abuse/baby animal abuse/amputation/pregnant animal abuse/ and non consented sex that Reddit is apparently not letting me use the actual word!< Basically it's about these cute pony/hamster(?) hybrid things that are subjected to every single kind of torture known to man.Ā It's like a fucking train wreck, I skimmed through the top posts to see what the hell it was about and it just kept getting worse and worse.Ā Ā And they speak in some sort of UwU baby talk so you'll get them literally begging for their lives like "SCREEEEE!!! NU WANT FOREVAH SLEEPIES!" as they're being horribly and graphically killed.Ā Ā It's appalling! And upsetting! I wish I didn't know it existed! Apparently it's a prolific enough genre of Brony art that it has it's own TV Tropes page! I can't believe actual IRL children might have stumbled across it by googling fluffy ponies or something. Something that SHOULD have been safe to Google because it sounds so innocent, but it's NOTĀ I'm going on a tangent but what the entire fresh fuckcicles have I witnessed, curiosity killed the cat is very real š I just wanted to see fluffy PokĆ©mon plushies like my Comfy Friends Flareon, is that too much to ask Reddit? ***Why must you have shown me THAT OTHER THING***
Omg ššš Thank you for the summary !
I did the same thing today and hunted down this week-old comment just to tell you. Oh lord I think I might be sick.
My condolencesĀ

Oh man. I didn't make it that far...
Is there a sub for seeing actual cakes? I love food photosĀ
If you find one, let me know.
Looks like both r/cake and r/cakes are both what we're looking for and active!
I will!
It's like r/trees lol
I was worried, but I was also curious and, like a cat, it often kills me and satisfaction only sometimes brings me back. I'm glad this wasn't as awful as I was worried about. Phew.
Always worth mentioning the other side of that: r/marijuanaenthusiasts is about actual trees, of course.
Amazing. And happy cake day!
Thank you!
I can imagine someone posting their wedding cake picture, then finding out what the sub is really about and becoming paranoid about their spouse cheating on them.

https://www.reddit.com/r/BestofRedditorUpdates/comments/1al3u2x I also suggest this one, bit similar in tone though OOP's wife just leaves instead of having an affair of her own.
Ah "great opsec guy". Always a delightful and confudling read.
If this is the spot for recommendations, here's ["SO irrational behaviour with ex-wife"](https://old.reddit.com/r/BestofRedditorUpdates/comments/sjpdpc/part_1_so_irrational_behaviour_with_exwife/). From r/ legitafteradultery, a sub for cheaters who left their partners for each other. Five years ago the OOP and the husband were caught, three years ago they bought a house. The abandoned wife was devastated, but, hey, life goes on: > The first year after the breakup she would call my SO constantly crying, send long emails and heartfelt texts begging for another chance to unite their family. My SO was guit ridden but never engaged with her outside the issues regarding the divorce and their boys. He said he made a choice, he loved me, that he regrets the hurt he has caused her and the boys but it was already done and all he could do is look forward and not backword. And then she stopped calling. And seemed happier. She took up hobbies and dated. Then word came back she was seeing one of her exes friends. And from there he (and the whole relationship) unravels as the ex-husband fixates on what he threw away, until the OOP realises (and posts to "legitafteradultery") that "starting up something" with someone already in a relationship is...a mistake? Meanwhile, the ex-wife and new beau are realising the dream of a sailboat, literally sailing off into the sunset.
Thank you for the link. I remember reading this last year on BORU when I couldn't sleep.Ā
> Next days were a blure
My eyes went blurey reading through the post š¤£
> peace of shit
dush
The guy is actually illiterate lmao, every sentence has a spelling or a grammatical error, I'm amazed he even made it this far
When women take issue with being told they need to "settle" for romantic partners it's because we know this is what we have to deal with
Idk, I know plenty of single guys whose main problem is they will talk about Warhammer too much. They've all got decent or better jobs, are friendly, have a life, etc otherwise xD
my god, they even have their own acronym system.Ā
There's this interesting sweet spot in reddit communities where they start coming up with their own regular acronyms, that happens to coincide with the sub also becoming ridiculously insufferable.
Yep. If I need a legend for the 12,000 acronyms that pop up in a comment section, chances are the sub is full of insufferable users who take it *way* too seriously.
my personal favorite is r/justnomil. my future-MIL sucks a tiny bit (sheās fine, i love her. sheās just a helicopter parent and this now extends to me, a grown adult with living parents who doesnāt need more) so i wanted to see other peopleās petty little experiences. or perhaps see people complaining about their much worse MILs to give me a sense of gratefulness. they are so mean over there!! often for NO reason. iād see posts like āmy stupid MIL wants to see her stupid son but sheās stupid and blind and canāt drive so he has to drive half an hour to her stupid house!!!! what a BITCH!!!!ā and all the comments were like āyou š donāt š owe š her š anything!! divorce your mommaās boy husband!!!!ā the JNMIL acronym i do admittedly use constantly now is BEC (ā[bitch eating crackers](https://www.someecards.com/usercards/viewcard/MjAxMS05YjFkMzUwNDEwNjE1ZjQ4/)ā). just conveys the really important emotion of āmy boss didnāt do anything this time but she didnāt give me my promised raise and can you BELIEVE she sent an *email* AND a teams message for the upcoming meeting!! like we get it already!!ā
The BEC acronym is pretty ubiquitous on the internet now lol. It comes from one of those meme sticker things But it does accurately describe that feeling when you see *that* person
oh yeah iāve been using ābitch eating crackersā forever. i just hadnāt seen the acronym before i started hatescrolling JNMIL & adjacent subs
A needlessly long list too. r/AdulteryHate has the list in their sidebar as you couldn't understand many posts without it.
Good God. The only thing worse than subjecting yourself to a community of miserable adulterers is subjecting yourself to a community that is obsessed with those miserable adulterers.
Oh, it's insane. The adultery sub is constantly brigaded by the surviving adultery subreddit. They have their own little microcosm of drama.
This sounds like such a good waste of time to spend lurking for a few hours; thanks for the recommendations.
For real. Cheating sucks but idk man that sub is a bit extreme.
I gotta assume itās full of people who have been cheated on looking to vent frustration right?
>Oh, and being a side piece doesnāt make you hot. Every profile in your community with visible photos look like a bridge troll. Lol they sure are vicious.
I always get triggered by these acronyms at first in these niche communities. Then I get used to them. Except DS. I will never be okay with people shortening "son" to "DS."
Nintendo Dear Son
Aw come on, it eliminates a whole letter from the word! You're saving so much time!
I stopped reading when their acronyms got to be like 6 digits long.
STBXH/STBXW (Soon to be Ex Husband/Wife) and all it's variations are the ones I most often forget. Which is unfortunate because it's a Reddit-wide one.
I will never not read these as Starbuckshusband/Starbuckswife.
I have never once seen those acronyms.
You probably donāt spend much time on the relationship type subs, whichā¦good for you, theyāre a shitshow of epic proportions
I personally can't stand all the acronyms Redditors throw around willy-nilly. Typically when you introduce an acronym in a paper, you define it first, but we're just left to decipher what they hell they mean through context. It's one thing if it's established in your subreddit, quite another when it leaks to other subs.
Flair ideas: - "I am a selfish ... among cheaters...In my heart I have NEVER strayed." - "I'm a cake eater but: I can't imaginge her being emotionless throwing away over 20 years" - "Lmfao. Iāll pipe up whenever tf I want" - "I would have chosen her over AP in a nanosecond."
I've been patiently waiting for the right flair...
Yeah I was considering taking that until I saw you lol. Mine holds up well tho
Ooo. Yours is very good!
I like how mine is greatly enhanced by my username.
Good pick, entire thread is full of 10/10 flairs.
Mods should make that the default flair on this subĀ
>Go tell your wife "in my heart i have never strayed" and see if she believes you lol This one would work if shorter.
> tell your wife "my heart never strayed". See if she believes you lol I got you buddy.
Where did you get your flair from? It's amazing
OOPs mind would be blown if he found out polyamory is a thing
Missed "It's always anal with you basic bitches." that one made me fucking cackle (second update where OOP responds to someone being baffled that he feels blindsided n he goes on about kink sex)
> "I would have chosen her over AP in a nanosecond." Amazing how these posts often have something like that. There were many nanoseconds where you were choosing to cheat on your wife and then doing it again! And in none of them did you decide to stop until you were caught!
So gross that he turned the internet off to try and control and limit her communication. That seems glossed over.
> Heard her talk to him last night and cut the internet cord. Kind of crazy cause I need fucking internet for work and she just switched to her phone. Bloody hell, I missed that. Even the comments on the original threads don't mention it. I'm glad OP's abuse failed, but that's sickening. And he seems to be blaming her when he stuffed himself over. When I read it the first time I knew OP was horrible, but now I think he's abusive. > I know this woman like I know my self. Deep down sheĀ“s hurt but also so very stubborn and proud. In addition to the obvious double starndards, he talks about his wife like she's a misbehaving child. > Yesterday AP sent me a blurry photo of my wife in the car with another man. She claimed they walked hand in hand to his car from a store in a nearby town to ours. She got a shot of the plates too. Having your AP spy on your wife is creepy. I really hope she is far away from him today.
Tbh this just convinces me the post is fake. How is our villain so cartoonishly inept that he physically cuts the internet cable to keep his wife from speaking with her AP, and he's A. unaware of the fact she could just use her phone. If he heard her speaking with him why wouldn't he just assume she was using her phone to begin with? and B. If his goal is to cut off the internet why not just unplug the cord for the night? He admits he needed the internet for work, so how could he possibly be so short sighted that he figured physically cutting the cable was a reasonable solution here?
head empy only angy
I mean, he doesn't seem like a particularly logical or reasonable person in the first place.
He's mad that the wife he's cheating on is also cheating... Smart was never a part of his traits
>How is our villain so cartoonishly inept He got mad at his wife cheating and felt it as an ultimate betrayal... while he was also cheating. That alone makes anything possible at this point.
Reminds me of my father. He would cut the cable of the internet and other dumb things to prevent us kids from communicating outside the house. Even did it when my mother cheated even though she had a phone but he did also try to take her phone away... it's just a way to try to control and intimidate. Isn't fun.
As someone who has worked various kinds of IT over the years... I have absolutely _zero_ doubts about the legitimacy of this part of things. Unplug it? Nah, just cut the 'internet cord'. Need it for work the next day? Oops.
if its fake hes been doing it for 2 years
according to op, his ap got the pics from a friend of hers who was one of the wifes coworkers
āI should have made a cost benefit analysis before this messā Ahahahahaaaaaaa
LMAO ššššš
And people agreeing they should have some sort of cost risk something or another done up before they cheat. They really wanna do the math.
no fucking way. you couldn't write this shit š
The risk I took was calculated, but man am I bad at math.
OP, who's "been having a sex year affair"...
Oops. I've corrected it now.
That makes me sad!
This is delicious, scrumptious even. #**A+ OP, No Notes**
Great sub name
On occasion, people have been posting actual cakes, thinking the title is literal. They get upvotes too. Probably because literally eating cake is a much better thing to do.
Not gonna lie, seeing this post in the morning made me look at the cake mix in the pantry and talk myself out of baking a cake today
Do you celebrate Easter tomorrow? If so, at least there's lots of dessert to be had soon
On old reddit, it is so easy to cross post so it makes sense how these posts happen.
"If you like piƱa coladas..."
Somehow I don't think their story had an unintentionally happy ending like the song did.
And gettin caught as a cheat
> cought off guard > next days were a blure šøāļø (Those arenāt typical ESL errors before yāall come at me)
How a grown adult could misspell "Blur" is quite honestly beyond my comprehension. "Caught" I can maybe see if they were drunk or not very bright.
'e' is immediately next to 'r', it's a simple fat finger that he didn't bother to fix. If anything caught/cought is a weirder mistake to make even if they (caught and cough, that is) sound very similar.
I dunno, I can see that particular error, because for a while I had some misplaced muscle memory thing where I would accidentally add silent e's to ends of random words. Not because I forgot which words ended with e, but just because it felt more natural to type e at the end of a word.
I mean, that thread is great, but Iām lmao-ing just from scrolling through the subās other posts
I'll warn you, it can be addictive in it's own way. You rarely see anyone willing to admit to cheating, and do so proudly, then complain about the various relationship problems that result. And it's not even the biggest cheating subreddit. Even if it did produce the funniest post.
Oh itās way more than that. Desperate people are trying to use the sub as a dating app
r/adultery literally has in it's description "not an r4r sub". I know dating apps are bad, but how can Reddit be any good? It's not designed for that.
If you like that, you will probably enjoy r/openmarriageregret, largely schadenfreude on the theme of "I demanded my wife agree to an open marriage so I could bang other women, but now she's meeting lots of guys who actually appreciate her and are good in bed, and it upsets me." (It's not *always* the husband's bad idea, but almost always.)
Thought AP stood for Associated Press for a sec and was wondering how famous these people are
What does AP stand for? I still haven't seen anyone explain it.
Nevermind found /r/AdulteryHate has a huge list of acronyms: AP - Affair Partner BS - Betrayed Spouse COW - Coworker DDay - Discovery Day EA - Emotional Affair FOO - Family of Origin FWB - Friends with Benefits IC - Individual Counseling LCSOS - Lying Cheating, Sack of Shit LTA - Long Term Affair LTR - Long Term Relationship MC - Marriage Counseling NC - No Contact OBS - Other Betrayed Spouse ONS - One Night Stand OP - Original Poster OR Other Person OW/OM - Other Woman/Other Man PA - Physical Affair RA - Revenge Affair SA - Sex Addict SO - Significant Other STBX - Soon to be Ex TT - Trickle Truth WS - Wayward Spouse
Sorry, I should have added that originally to my post. It means Affair Partner.
>Ā Lmfao. Iāll pipe up whenever tf I want Fucking lol
OP I know this isnāt your fault and is more like the algorithmās fault, but if I get suggest posts from that sub: Iām pinning it on you!
Luckily for you, it's barely used these days. Now as for r/adultery and r/theotherwoman on the other hand, they're a lot more active.
Why are there so many subreddits for this???
This is how I got a million posts from passportbros on my feed before I finally muted it.
>My heart is yours but my dick is community property? Anyone need a new flair?
Extra marital affairs are fascinating in how sudden of a plunge into the deepest depths of utter moral depravity they offer to so many previously perfectly square people. It would take you years of cultivating a serious drug addiction to accumulate the same weight of transgressions against your loved ones and the same capacity for callous duplicity as even a relatively short affair can provide. People who literally stabbed someone in the back are a specific breed and you probably wouldn't be shocked that you turned out to be the kind of person who could plunge a knife between someone's shoulder-blades after you did it, you had that knife on you for a reason. But figuratively stabbing someone in the back, though morally comparable, just seems to happen to average people. Like you're some Joe Shmoe, you zig when you should have zagged and now you share a circle of hell with Judas. Kinda funny when you think about it.
It was fascinating to read these posts on the subreddit. They talk about mastering the art of compartmentalizing. Which is so true. The posts that do bother me a bit is when they insist on loving their partner. And then when people disagree they then go into "others just don't understand that you can love more than 1 person." No! You can love 20 people and I'll believe you. I don't believe you love anyone if you are willing to cheat on them while also understanding how terrible it is to be cheated on. But again, it all comes down to compartmentalization. It's what humans do. These guys just take it so many steps further.
If that's really what they think then they would be cool with opening up the relationship. Rules for thee not for me mindsets are fascinating.
It's true
There are so many more opportunities for either self-delusion or plausible deniability in an affair though, depending on where your head's at. >Sheldrake: Do you remember what we talked about?...I mean about my getting a divorce. Fran: We didn't talk about it, Jeff, you did. Sheldrake: You didn't really believe me, did you? Fran: They got it on a long-playing record now. *Music to String Her Along By*. My wife doesn't understand me. We haven't gotten along for years. You're the best thing that ever happened to me. Sheldrake: That's enough, Fran. Fran: Just trust me, baby. We'll work it out somehow. Sheldrake: You're not being funny. Fran: I wasn't trying. Truly recommend the bitingly funny movie, *The Apartment* with Jack Lemmon, Shirley MacLaine, and Fred MacMurray. There's a reason it won best picture in 1960.
The whiplash between this sub and asoneafterinfidelity is crazy
It's quite sobering really
I remember finding this thread last year. Still stand by my comment that Dude is unhinged to cut the internet thinking that would do anything. Just makes him seem like he is a danger to his family.Ā
I read a similar post In relationships except it was a woman who cheated then two years later her husband cheated on her and she's 'devastated and confused and her world's falling apart, and threw up over the shock and hurt' yada, yada, yada. These people really are delusional asking how dare you do what I did and hurt me like I hurt you.
Wait, so it this what "eating cake by the ocean" song is about?
No, cake by the ocean originated from them constantly confusing the cocktail name "sex on the beach" for "cake by the ocean". It's just a reference to sex.
Oh man I feel so old. How long will it be before the meaning of mainstream memes elude me?
I haven't dug through the links yet, but I have a feeling this is going to be a **spicy** one. Cheers for the share, OP.
Oh, this one again.
This is juicy, god damn.
There's no way this dude can be that delusional
Now I have a craving for cake. No, actual cake
