dude, he's not an idiot for doing something nice, you're just a douche.

Villains!" I shrieked, "dissemble no more! I admit the deed! — tear up the planks! — here, here! — it is the tangling of the telltale weave!"

Nah, you should have ended that relationship way earlier. You just tortured her and yourself out of spite. Nasty nasty shit.

Aw, you're a peach!

Dude, I hope you're in therapy. This is creepy.

It was. He turned horribly nasty on me (so nasty that the police had to be involved) and it was a horribly dark time in my life. He last saw the children when the oldest had just turned 2 and the youngest was about 10 months. He has never contributed in any way to their upbringing in any way.

I'm book-smart, but I really am this incredibly fucking dense: I didn't figure out my long-term, live-in boyfriend was screwing his "best friend" until he threw a meltdown blue-faced screaming hissy fit because I asked her to pay me back some money ($600 is a lot of money when you work food service).

I think this one counts, even though I ended up being the Other Woman...

In my early twenties, I was with a guy for about 3 years before I found out he was cheating on me—with a girl I knew fairly well. We broke up, I kicked him out..then make up and basically pretend it never happened. What can I say, I was young, trusting, and somehow believed all of his BS lies about how it would never…

It all came out after my first husband died (suddenly, and in front of me). I had confronted him directly a number of times over the years and he denied, denied, denied. And I was mostly in denial, too, though once I threatened to leave and he went to my mother to try to prevent it - how fucked up is that? After he…

Husband died very suddenly. (don't mean to a downer here but suicide). Well hell, guess that's contagious, at least where we lived. Almost all friends and neighbors cut me off immediately. Husband was an archaeologist, away for months a time. His bestie was a woman I'd never met, but he always talked about her with…

Oh, yeah... I wanted to add this one, too.

I may win this or at the very least, make ya'll go "Ewww."

Ok. Here is mine. My husband as some of yall may know was a controlling abusive asshole. We always had problems but I stayed so I didnt look like a failure. I work in an industry where I am priviledged to know lots of police officers and tow truck drivers. I always had suspicions that he was cheating on me but could…

This is a story about how I didn't catch a cheater until it was way, way too late, and also short parable about checking all your Facebook inboxes on a regular basis.

If you didn't know, Facebook has two inboxes. The normal inbox where mail from your friends go, and a second, "other" inbox where mail from people you…

Hate typing from my tablet. she happened to be deaf, not dead. Also, it was Shady Client who sold to Unwanted Buyer a day after closing the sale with my dad. I realize I wasn't totally clear.

So a new teachers assistant was hired at the school I used to work at. From day 1 there was a lot of chemistry. Lots of flirting during lunch time, at teacher in services, etc. He'd always find a way to get assigned to my classroom, yada yada. So the school year ends and he asks for my personal email, and we begin…

He and I had already been having problems related to his way-too-close "just-friendship" with a girl who happened to have beautiful, long, curly, red hair. He and I took a break over it, but a month or so later he begged for me to come back, claimed nothing had happened with him and red-hair, that it was all just a…

I was engaged and living with a man I had been with for 6 years. He had broken up with me the year before and we called off the wedding, but after two months got back together. He broke up with me again, because I wasn't being "wife-like" enough for him, and I once again packed a bag and headed to stay with my…
