It's a horrific story each time it happens, no matter who is involved, but sheesh.

[@Rose-yt5hi]

@@DePhoegonIsleI disagree. I’ve heard/read a few stories of a similar theme (relationship getting blown up because one partner believed a lie that the other was cheating), and in every case, regardless the genders, the consensus has always been the same: the one who believed the lie is the one at fault and the other is better off not giving them a second chance. The only time there’s some sympathy/understanding is when the lie was much more believable and thorough than what’s been presented here-e.g. photoshopped text exchanges, hired actors to play the AP and “confirm” the affair. This OP’s “evidence” was flimsy at best, and that he gave himself no time to gather more concrete proof or his wife any benefit of the doubt to defend herself is why he’s being so thoroughly roasted. Like it sounds like he received the email and in that same hour kicked his wife to the curb and moved his brother back in. Doesn’t exactly speak highly of his critical thinking skills, if anything else.

The moment the dad asked op to talk with is brother is the moment he should have been disowned with no chance of redemption I can't understand how the parents in the stories always act like forgiveness is on the table, instead of being the ones mad in the first place

[@lycantabris]

Not a parent, but an adult with parents, and I think it comes down to the guilty one being the one they are actively seeing the hurt of. Like, adults often go be by themselves or with their friends when they're deeply hurt rather than be vulnerable with parents or the one that's caused that hurt. On the flipside, the sibling that caused the hurt is most likely being very open with the pain they caused themselves with the guilt, especially to the parents because they want to be the victim/lessen how bad they're viewed. Blatantly visible pain and childish behavior by them leads to hitting those protective instincts in the parent that then leads to the parent making an ass of themself. It's still the parent's fault for not thinking things through, but given that once OP broke it down the dad was like "Oh, you're right." I think it was that.

None of it even makes sense! Anyone else could guess it was the brother from a mile away, the OP is way too easily manipulated. And why would your brother who's obsessed with your wife be the person you chose to "keep an eye on her" 🤦‍♀️? Did the OP just not care at all for her safety or comfort? "Someone called claiming my wife cheated and then wrote down a list of info about her that a random affair partner wouldn't be privy to and is more in line with a stalker?", "Guess I better invite my creepy brother into the house despite him being caught red handed stealing her underwear and who'd have a motive to try and put a wedge in our relationship.", "I'm not even going to do some digging to try and figure out who sent the email or when she would've supposedly done that, sounds like a great plan." 🤡

[@Cosmiccrying]

Honestly deserved, Kellie deserved much better and was put through absolute hell by the man that’s supposed to love and support her, not listen to baseless accusations from an extremely questionable source that was anonymous. You destroyed your own marriage OP, Kellie deserves the world, you deserve a solid reality check. Maybe marry your brother considering you allow him to rule your life so much, you love him more than anyone else despite his constant disgusting behaviours, like imagine supporting your brother who stole your wife’s panties and then you just immediately listen to him whispering in your ear? Lmao you deserve your brother. Kellie handled this with so much grace and strength, I dunno how she did it.

[@Tryyourhand]

In relation to the stalker brother, I would send all of the information you have to your ex so she could take out a restraining order against your brother and possibly press charges for stalking as well as think about legal action against him for what he has done. And then apologise for your actions and let her know that you expect nothing to come out of the apology. And walk away..

Story 2: Just checked and there was an update. OP and her BF went to her friends to try and lay out some boundaries, BF and her friend got into a heated argument, then her and her BF got into an argument at home. She couldn't understand why he's still mad when she just wants to "compromise and move on." They wound up breaking up and she's still convinced that her friend didn't get her to cancel out of ulterior motives-- so she'll go through this whole song and dance again with the next guy, and the next-next guy...

[@Kittycat-mh8lz]

I expected an outcome like that didn’t sound like Op learned a thing. Also, she sounded oblivious to how bad the situation was.

[@vegaskullkid4503]

I sadly expected this outcome. Op sounds like she won’t truly get how she’s in the wrong until she has this happen a few more times or something else happens which will make those rose tinted glasses fly off and she sees this ‘friend’ for who he really is

[@dee_woo]

OP from the first story does not deserve forgiveness and neither does his brother.

[@AndyyWithAY]

IDK if OP is insanely naive or intentionally obtuse. The friend waited until an hour before. You already had your hair and makeup done, cute outfit. This guy obviously wants to go deep inside her. He intentionally sabotaged her. He just had to ruin her anniversary date. She needs to get dumped. This was by no means an emergency.

OP is literally the _only_ person who didn’t see that coming from a mile away. He doesn’t get the benefit of the doubt when he’s the only person who didn’t know what’s up. Was he really unaware? I can’t honestly say I’m certain.

[@MinisterManDan]

The only thing I’d say to OP is that manslaughter only gets you 4-5 years in prison. He deserves to feel shame and whatnot, but at some point he’s going to have to learn to forgive himself for his terrible decision. I hope he finds a way out of the pit he walked into.

[@fungafufu4867]

Story 2: such an immature way of handling things. Of course you can cancel anniversary plans if there is an real emergency. But in this case the way would have been to call boyfriend. Tell him about the message you received, tell him you have reasonable cause to fear you friend might harm himself, tell him you‘re going to check on him, tell boyfriend you‘re incredibly sorry, asks if he could meet you there so you can still go out to dinner in case it‘s not that serious or to emotionally support in case of something bad‘s happening. No need to stay multiple hours once you realise it‘s not that bad. No need to keep you boyfriend out of the loop by cutting the only call you gave him und no longer updating him until hours later when you finally decide to go home

[@onepieceisking5493]

Op has to accept that he's at fault for not talking to his partner like an adult and partner should have done. Specially after knowing everything his psycho brother has done and it's no surprise that he was intent on ruining a marriage because he couldn't stand not having the girl.

Story 1- the commenter calling Robert a predator was spot-on. He never stopped stalking and harassing OP’s ex, even after being confronted & put through therapy. He will do this again. I wish there were some legal recourse that could be taken here, but it seems nothing will come of it

[@gwdzee]

ikr? op should have just warned his ex wife about his brother, and reported his brother to the police. While it might not have been enough to do anything about it now, it starts a file on his brother should he start shit with any other woman.

Story2, OP is very young and probably not used to dealing with addicts. Addicts are very draining, take up a lot of your energy and mega drama queens.

Story two, there are times and events that can warrent a friend dropping what they are doing to be with said friend. Heavy diagnoses, a death, a serious injury, anything that requires emergency personnel. (I would also say to drunk/high to drive, id rather get a call that annoys me than a call saying you're gone) If say friend had a house fire or called because their mom died. Thats a valid reason to cancel a date. Fight with daddy cause they cant act like an adult.... honey. I would have smacked them, called my boyfriend and said Ill meet you at the restaurant. Friend is just stupid.

2nd story, OP was wrong. She needs to set boundaries with her friends, or she isn't going to be able to maintain relationships with a spouse.

[@danielwarren7110]

only 5:46 in but something that is jumping out to me... the brother is a stalker and he has been stealing from her... OP needs to tell his EX and apologize sure BUT he needs to tell his EX and get her to go to the police and provide a statement and all the evidence he has, he is dangerous, She needs to know so she can get a restraining order against him, and the local police need to know. God only knows what he has been doing in the last year with stalking her when she has not got a husband near her.. god only knows what he will do next. he is clearly fixated with her and has been from the story a minimum of 9 years from meeting until brother finishes therapy, but the next date is 2022, then about 2 years for divorce and brother so we are at 11 years minimum that the brother has been stalking this girl and infatuated with her, therapy did not help brother, if he was not lying and actually went. This man is a danger to the EX and any other woman he might get interested in in the future. GOT to the POLICE

[@triciad4100]

[@ChangedWinds]

Last story: When respecting someone's privacy could cost a whole relationship. I get OP, this could've been serious and life threatening. But the least you could do after bailing on your first anniversary (she even mentioned going to her friend and failing to uphold previous plans before), the least you can do is state what had happened. Everyone has feelings. It isn't unheard of people canceling last minute just to cheat or whatever. Heck, so many wedding stories involving a partner who ran away is sadly more common than I'd like to admit. But if you really wanna be friends and maintain a partnership, you've got to be some what upfront

[@darkmask5933]

Story 1: Don't feel bad for OP at all, he made the choices he did, even knowing what a creeper his brother was. Inviting the perv brother BACK to the house was the absolute worst thing he could have done, he knew what he was doing, he knew his ex thought Robert was a creep and he WANTED to make her feel uncomfortable. Invited a gross little brat who stole her panties into the house to stalk her to make sure she was behaving. Just saying it like that makes me angry because you KNOW OP tried his best to make himself look like the victim in this. He weaponized his brother to make his ex feel uncomfortable, he's an abusive asshole! In the end the comment about who made the vows was spot on, we've heard stories about abusive in-laws, but when it comes down to it you have to circle back to the old saying "You don't have an in-law problem, you have a spouse problem." Blah blah hope OP goes to therapy and betters himself, but for now? Fuck him, he totally still thinks of himself as the victim "wah she used the word soulmate now I'm sad".

[@anthoniquebethley9711]

People are a little too quick to say " Dump Them " if you suspect your S.O. is cheating. I wish more people would go to a P.I. Especially since there's been an uptick in people being accused of things they are innocent of ( Thank You Not So Much , A.I. & Deep-Fakes. ) What gets me about this story is there wasn't any Evidence / Proof at all , just an E-Mail which easily could have been lies. And to move his brother back in.........there was no salvaging their marriage after that. Offenders / Predators like O.P. NO. 1's brother have an Escalation - Scale. He put her at risk for what , to punish her? And it also sounds like she was shunned from her social circle because of what happened meaning there wasn't anyone she could confide in........
