Denial is strong, especially if you’re a decent person. It is unfathomable that a person would do this to another person so I feel like you would think, “Am I crazy? How could this be real?” and want to believe that you aren’t wasting tons of time on an utter shithead. I once went to nab a piece of paper from one of…

That’s not what I said. They met on a junior year abroad, after several years she still spoke none of his native language and they had barely hung out IRL in over a year. If all of the above apply to you, then that’s probably also not a good fit.

I was just talking to my therapist about this. Not this situation exactly, but I’m a feminist and no dummy and still found myself in an abusive marriage where I made excuses for his behavior, and sometimes still do. It’s trite, but it can happen to anyone under the right circumstances. I feel like such an arrogant ass…

I’ve had that same moment. Camera snaps into focus, light bulbs go off “Waaaaait..... this is bullshit. This is all bullshit. Everything is and has always been bullshit! You’re full of shit and everything you’ve ever said is bullshit! You’re made of bullshit! Everything makes so much more sense now! Thank you!”

Ugh. I’m sorry. Having someone you love lie to your face and continue to do so when you are literally in tears *begging* them to please be honest is...I don’t know. It’s like the earth crumbles from under your feet and you don’t know which way is up. I hope you’re close (geographically and otherwise) to your nieces —…

I just have 100% empathy for this person with the wedding. Like, if you trust someone and have been dating them for a year and a half, it is WAY easier to believe that dude is doing some weird promotional thing for his school than to believe that someone lied to you to your face every day for months, got married…

Oh my god...a thousand times yes! I was at a point in a past relationship where I would check his phone, SEE WITH MY OWN TWO EYES that were meet-up logistics planned via text and long late-night phone calls. I would ask him if he was seeing this girl outside of work. He would act indignant and say “absolutely not”.…

Going through a similar situation with my sister. Her long time boyfriend, whom lives with her Monday through Friday while working at the job she got him, Goes straight to his moms in another state every Friday from work, and stays through Sunday night, and then drives straight to work Monday morning. My sister pays…

I sincerely believe it’s got nothing to do with how smart you are. I just had no experience dealing with pathological liars, and no frame of reference for this behavior. I thought how it goes is, you lie, you feel guilty, someone finds evidence of your deceit and confronts you, you cave immediately and start…

One of my friends went on a cross country camping trip with her boyfriend, and they visited his ex. He slept with his ex girlfriend in her house, while my friend CAMPED IN HER YARD. He somehow convinced her that he misunderstood a comment she’d made and believed they were in an open relationship for the duration of…

The really stupid thing is you can block specific people from seeing specific photos on FB. The arrogance here is INSANE.

You can’t necessarily say this girl is gullible or obtuse. It’s not that she can’t believe all of this. It’s that she doesn’t want to believe any of it. I’m pretty sure she’s not the only woman in history who believed some shitty lie a dude told her. We’ve all been there once.

Of course, he ALREADY has a story ready for his wife about “this crazy ex who won’t let go”.

Wow, some of her other posts on this are really heartbreaking:

Hire a fucking skywriter. Rent a Goddamned billboard.

I go to reddit/relationships on occasion because I’m a terrible person, and there are a surprising number of stories like this. As in, “I’ve had 20 people tell me he’s having an affair, I saw pictures of him proposing to another woman, and I physically walked in on him having sex - is he cheating on me?”

I... I just... I don’t want to judge because I once witnessed my psycho ex leave a club with his other girlfriend and walk toward his house, and he just smiled and waved at me and kept walking, and the next day I (confronted him with the irrefutable evidence of my eyes) allowed myself to be convinced again that they…

He told me that it was from a video that his university is making for new students to show how glamorous graduate school life can be

Oh, hell no. He doesn’t deserve happiness. You AIR THIS SHIT OUT to the wife’s family by any means necessary, as quickly as possible. Annulments are easier than divorces.

they’re just trying to appeal to ‘conservative dipshit blaze blogger who i want to punch in the taint’
