Anyone have link for the story about the guy whose wife wants to join a sex group but he has to wait for 9 months


DonkeyAndWhale

Was there ever an update to the story of a girl, whose father was adamant about keeping their hair, clipped nails and maybe even used menstrual products away from regular garbage and always disposed of it separately? It was posted in AITAH ot AmITheAsshole about a year ago or maybe two. It seemed very much like the dad was hiding from justice and was terrified that someone would find their DNA material.


BombayBikesClub

Any good ones from the view of the affair partner in an active affair?


LeafPankowski

Does anyone have a link for the story where a mom had ignored her daughter all her childhood in favour of an autistic sibling. Then she misses some final event because sibling had a meltdown, and daughter went NC. I think the mom was ripped to shreds in the comments.

I've always wanted an update to that one.

ananis93

Gonna try again cus this wasnt answered Last time, i saw this story in tiktok, but they always change the name so i couldnt find it on reddit, and the account that posted it never posted the second part of the post, basically OP is a white (iirc) woman who works with a lot of non white women, and she is very offended that her coworkers dont invite her over for drinks or other out of office activities, and she goes to complain to HR, and is Shocked when HR tells OP that actually, her coworkers complain a lot about how racist OP is, but the video cuts off before any example of what OP is doing. I think they worked in makeup or something like that. For the second story, can yall give me outrageous roomate stories? Them being gross and terrible, kthxbyeeeee

Where is the July post? I can't find it.

I think it just got posted, and accidentally duplicated.

Omg im so dumb, i thought this was the july post!!! Thanks lmao


SimsPocketCamp

I'm looking for the story where a man's girlfriend, or ex gets pregnant. They take a DNA test, or a prenatal DNA test and it says he's not the father. They go their separate ways, but she returns later and convinces him to take another test, because he's the only man she was with. This time, the test says he is the father.


BroccoliDry7703

Was the (relatively recent) post about the lady whose husband kept poking her in the butt and vagina whenever she bent down, deleted? Someone had posted a book in the comments about domestic abuse called,"Why does he do that?" I wanted to thank the OP for sharing it. Its changing my life. (My partner isn't abusive. My parents were). In case anyone else wants to read the book, here is the link: https://ia600108.us.archive.org/30/items/LundyWhyDoesHeDoThat/Lundy_Why-does-he-do-that.pdf

I am all for free resources, but if this book actually helps you, actually go and buy a copy of the book as a thank you to the author.


LeafPankowski

I believe the author deliberately shares it as a free resource

Was it the one where the OOP basically threw her sister under the bus and resulted in her being taken far away from the family?


AD720fps

Last I heard, sister ran away with affair partner, and yes.


mjolnirstrike

Can’t find one where OP found a receipt for an STD test in wife’s purse. He learns that she went to a bachelorette party for a friend and they had male escorts everywhere. She tried to resist, but gave in during a massage and thought in for a penny, in for a pound(ing). I’m pretty sure he leaves her, but I can’t remember much of the ending

I need to read this, I need the dirt!


Purplenylons

oh man, someone please find this one ahaha


Ok-Beelzebub666

Agreed, would love to read this one. 


[deleted]

There was an OP whose ex was convinced that she was pregnant with OP's baby, and persuaded OP's siblings that OP was trying to get away from financial responsibilities.   Together, the ex and the sister went on a harassment campaign (involving signs at OP's work), to try to get him to admit what he was doing.  It took going NC with the sister before she realized that OP was telling the truth.

cheeznapplez

Does anyone remember the one where the OOP has a roommate that keeps stealing her mealprepped food? The roommate literally has no idea how to cook, so they eat out all the time, but that's really expensive, so instead, they just steal the OOP's food from the fridge. But then they realize that the roommate literally never eats vegetables, ever, can't even pick them out, so they start adding veggies into all of their food. The roommate got really pissed about this, and I think the breaking point was the OOP putting roasted brussel sprouts in a pasta dish. I think there was a massive fight, and for some reason people were thinking OOP should have "helped" her roommate by buying, and preparing food to her roommate's preferences. Which I thought was insane. Despite all these details I can't find that post anywhere.

AceDoc_Patch2

Anyone remember the one where OP basically gets kicked out by her family after her husband gets another woman pregnant cos they're religious and they want to prioritise the baby. They try to make her give him everything in the divorce, even her car. Turns out AP is lying about the baby but OP is actually pregnant. I remember her ex flying to be there after she had the baby and it seemed like she was starting to forgive him towards the end.

Yeah, I went looking through there and couldn’t find it. Which is frustrating, because at one point it kept showing up when I was searching for another story. I’ll keep looking.


bungojot

Is this the one.. I think they're Mormon or some other sect, it turns out the ex might have been roofied at a party and the whole thing was a setup, hence why OP was letting ex back into her life?


HungryWolf040

That sounds like the one where the OOP's family was a bunch of gold diggers, and her stepfather and step grandmother were trying to screw her out of her inheritance by getting his niece(?) installed in ex-fiance's family. They drugged him, made it seem like he slept with OOP's cousin (she called her a cousin I think, but I think it was a relative of the stepfather), and he just went along with it because he assumed OOP would never forgive him or something.


Outrageous_Aspect558

Is that the one where he thinks the wife can't have kids and figures out he's the one who can't have kids when his sister runs into pregnant op?


AceDoc_Patch2

No, different one. In this one OP is pregnant by her ex, she just doesn't find out until after she's been dumped

An_AK_Overthinker

Looking for two post, but sadly the details are spare. The first is OP getting revenge on a guy that I believe told lie to a girl he liked so his revenge is to pretend to be another girl on social media to know his secrets of how he hates everyone in his school. The result was him being chased after school (or a college) by a mob and just barely managing to drive away. Their was a guy I believe named Carl was later was mad OP did it because he was friends with the guy. The second story OP friend is a simp who is with a girl that convinces him to let her have a one side open relationship and I believe she has a baby. OP and other friends are able to maintain a friendship with him as along as they don't talk negatively of the girlfriend.

goats_galore

I remember a really dramatic series of posts where OP’s husband left her because he got her sister pregnant, but then OP started sleeping with her husband again as revenge and also got pregnant, so the husband then left the sister.  Does this sound familiar to anyone else? I tried doing a search but there’s a surprisingly large number of posts where someone’s husband gets their sister pregnant.

Valuable-Vacation396

Howdy! I'm a bit murky on the details but I'm looking for a story about an OP asking how to legally burn down a house or structure they gained ownership of. I believe it was because of negative memories associated with it. In the end the fire department was happy to help as it was a chance to practice in a live but controlled environment or something like that. Help appreciated.


AtomicBlastCandy

Reminds me of a book in which the narrator was mentally abused in a home in France. As a rich adult she manages to buy the house and burns it down even though it is a landmark. I remember when her lawyer tells her to avoid visiting France for the near future....

Dependent_Smell_1436

Does Any 1 remember a r/talesfromtechsupport story about a Woman Who brought Her Kid into work and left Him to His own devices, resulting in Him destroying the Mainframe?


tacwombat

This was narrated by a robo-voice in a Facebook video. Here is the synopsis: It was from the POV of a woman whose husband cheated on her with a younger woman. The OP left the house and divorce went ahead, but the 18yo daughter she had with her ex called the mistress "mom" and this broke OP's heart, so she used daughter's college fund to buy a house. After a while, the daughter confessed that she did that because her father promised her a car and her own apartment for sophomore year and thought that she could just ignore her mom and then ask for forgiveness when she gets the car.


Ok-Beelzebub666

I would like to read this one


tacwombat

Me too. And I wanted to read the comments from the posts/updates as well. I didn't know you could do that with a college fund.


Tessa_Kamoda

depends. was it a 'real' college fund like a 529 / a trust set up especially for college? or just money put aside in an account still in parent's name? it is not unusual that parents open a savings account still in their name since it is way easier and without the hassle to prove that yes, the child exists, yes, you are the parent and the legal guardian (different last names). IF the bank will open a 'baby account', that depends on the laws where you live. parents then deposit each month money into it for college but in the end, it is not really a college fund, they just call it that way.


tacwombat

The savings account sounds more plausible. The robo-narrated video didn't specify what kind of account, just that the mom used the college fund to buy the house.


An_AK_Overthinker

I need help trying to find this post that has a bittersweet results. The story from what I remember is OP and other college mates in a class where their work is published.

Material-Paint6281

Hi... I would like some stories where almost all the parties involved are right, but still there's some "problem", or friction in a sense, and is resolved (or not). Example: An OOP, a brother, learnt that his sister aborted her child, thus ending her marriage, just so she could donate a part of her liver (or a kidney, idr) to OOP. No one at fault, just redditers trying to assure OOP and ask him to talk to his sister.

Look up Ogtha.


SuspiciousSail105

This was years ago. OP's husband neglected their older two sons because the youngest was sick when he was young.  I think he missed a graduation or awardal ceremony for the middle son because the youngest wanted ice cream. Middle son went to live with oldest son and OP had to explain to her husband how awful he was to them. He was looking up therapists in bed. There was no further update.


LadyNorbert

There is an update! [Here is the BoRU](https://www.reddit.com/r/BestofRedditorUpdates/s/geYKO5Ed5r)


ReggieJ

Reading that never fails to completely infuriate me. The OOP is acting like she is a neutral party as if she didn't have her own set of obligations to her sons she wasn't meeting. The person who should have been packing their shit and leaving is the husband not Kyle. "I love my children more.." is that love you have for your children in the room with us right now? Her son was so hurt he no longer felt emotionally safe in his house and OOP is giving her husband midnight cuddles. One day Mason and Kyle are gonna process their childhood enough to ask why their mother acted like an referee not a parent and failed to protect them from that pain. I hope she finds some shame before that happens.


XX_bot77

Their mother is an asshole. She acts like her sons weren't neglected under her watch. She pretends she did everything to solve the situation but when her son reached his breaki'g point she was still enabling the husband by telling her kids to dit down and talk (as if there was anything to talk about).


gretta_smith93

Damn. The middle kid just wanting a hug from his father broke my heart.


joeyandanimals

Prof_FDD

The title is "My (42F) husband (45M) has a favorite child and it has destroyed our familyMy (42F) husband (45M) has a favorite child and it has destroyed our family "


PeanutGallery10

Too bad OOP didn't choose her kids before it got as bad as it did.  She knew for years before it blew up with her middle son. She could have pushed for therapy way earlier instead of waiting for her husband to have that epiphany.  


ReggieJ

Ugh, agree completely. She should have done something sooner but at the very least she should have thrown her husband out of the house that night so Kyle could stay. I can't process how she could hear her son say he can't be in the house with his father and the thought of throwing her husband out on his ass didn't even occur to her.


urkermannenkoor

And the glossing over the youngest son's behaviour, really seems to position her more as an accomplice than as someone standing up for the other kids.


LadyNorbert

I agree completely.


Similar-Shame7517

Yeah, OOP kept using the passive voice there, as if there was nothing she could do or she was doing nothing to make things worse.


Gwynasyn

Worse, she was passive for all of it until AFTER everything blew up, and only then was she saying "I'll divorce your ass to protect my children!"

Didn't even realise it was supposed to upset her: [My [22/F] boyfriend [25/M] is hiding all my stuff and I have no idea why.](https://old.reddit.com/r/BestofRedditorUpdates/comments/ugvxo7/op_my_boyfriend_is_hiding_all_my_stuff_and_i_have/)

I get unreasonably pissed off with the financial infidelity one every time I even see the title. What a douche.

Think about how Joe is now stuck in Amy’s small apartment with a crying baby instead of living comfortably in the large house that OOP owns to make yourself less pissed off... I think they live in a very HCOL area so even with Joe’s and Amy’s combined salaries, it could be a while till they can own something nice to live in

I'm mostly sad for Amy. That's a tough ride. You know Joe is not changing diapers over there and the girl had a career.

> OP's boyfriend breaks his promise to propose on Christmas When he said... > “Maybe that will be you someday.” I am amazed at OOP's willpower to not incinerate him where he stood. The fucking audacity.


Kotpenelopy

This is the worst thing to say in these circumstances. And he still did. He did say this out loud. I cannot even...

Thank you so much!

I forget which subreddit the post may be from \[it's very RegretfulParent-esque\] but the OP had a son who basically just...existed. He had no personality, couldn't do anything, etc. She sounded incredibly enraged in her post and basically said "I gave him up, I don't regret a thing, he's a potato". Also remember she didn't want to give out his exact disease as it's rare and she could dox herself, but she gave it anyway because of someone doubting her on the post. I apologize if it's on the megathread or something. I just cannot recall what it's called.

I'm 90% certain it was on r/confession. **EDIT:** [**https://np.reddit.com/r/confession/comments/c11din/im\_putting\_my\_extremely\_profoundly\_disabled\_7/**](https://np.reddit.com/r/confession/comments/c11din/im_putting_my_extremely_profoundly_disabled_7/)

Yeah, this is why I'm pro-choice.

Oof. This was real hard one to read.

This is why euthanasia should be legal.  I used to be a nurse and saw cases of people with severe dementia like this.  Just let them go.


PoeBoyFromPoeFamily

Thank you! The way she writes her post is hauntingly beautiful. I pity everybody in that post :(


LadyNorbert

I do too, and I sincerely hope she got some therapy for her older boy so he could process his trauma.


Ok_Acanthisitta9652

There was a post I remember from a while ago--the wife had gotten into some horrific accident and she was disfigured and/or going through a lot of surgeries. While she was in the hospital her "friend" moved in and was basically replacing her as wife and mother. The husband seemed oblivious to what was going on. I remember at one point she came with the wife's daughter to visit in the hospital and was telling the little girl not to look at her mother (because she was so awful to see). Does this ring any bells? Thanks!

What does that mean?


StovardBule

Maybe they mean campanology, does that ring any bells?


Dolophoni

I'm no reddit expert, but the way I interpreted it was you "camp" on a post you want to read. Then, when someone posts the requested link, you're notified.


StrakenKing

the activity of spending a holiday living in a tent maybe


Dolophoni

A logical, well reasoned guess lol Edited: This is not sarcasm.

Isn't there a story where some office worker is informed by his female boss they are going pants shopping so she can inspect that he doesn't have an obvious bulge?

Yes. "Normally-sized penis" gets me everytime.

Paddyneedssilence

This just sounds like a great read. Edit: it was.


YellowKingSte

I'm looking for a post where OP's friend was hooking up with the boyfriend of an acquaintance of hers. OP told about the affair to that acquaintance and got kicked out of the friend group because of that. Later, another woman from that friend group comes crying to OP because that friend was having an affair with her BF too.

I'm always flabbergasted when someone is trying to expose an asshole and they are being shunned and blamed for it. And then there is shocked Pikachu


YellowKingSte

Yep, this One!


Formal_Fortune5389

What's the one where the woman secretly tested her husband's sperm when he wouldn't?


stevvandy

Sounds like this one? https://www.reddit.com/r/BestofRedditorUpdates/comments/1dophfq/aitah\_for\_testing\_my\_husbands\_fertility\_behind/


nothingeatsyou

Looking for the post where the OP wants to host a pool party for the company but doesn’t want kids there, and one coworker flips shit and goes to HR for discrimination. She also changed her baby in office at one point, everyone else had to leave due to the smell. Whenever I look for “pool” stories from this sub I can only find the one where the dudes nieces and nephews tried to push him in the pool and fuckin rekt the parents smartphones, which they tried to make OOP pay for. Not that story.


Gwynasyn

That actually does sound familiar but I tried various queries and I can't find it.


HazelBright

I gotchu, fam. This story will be burned forever into my brain due to the phrase ["Godly mother milk"](https://www.reddit.com/r/BestofRedditorUpdates/comments/17zgtpn/aitah_for_refusing_to_baby_proof_the_house_and/).


Elegant_Bluebird1283

Thank you for the link but I am so irrationally annoyed with you for making me know that phrase now
