OPs boyfriend in the first story is an absolute king. Instead of just up and leaving he suggested she go to a doctor and when they found out what was wrong he's still supporting her.

I love how redditor comments were fueling doubt in Op

[@pamelalaub6204]

I feel empathy for the girl whose mother chose yoga class over looking at wedding dresses with her daughter. Mom worked and so did I. I invited her to come with me on a Saturday to help choose my wedding dress and I assured her I was paying for it. I shopped alone and bought a knee length dress I could afford. It was very pretty but not the dress of my dreams. She later told me if she was there she'd feel forced to buy it. She didn't see my dress until my wedding day. She was disappointed it wasn't long. I told her she could have had input before I bought it but she didn't come.

That's so sad your mother would decline to go with you for such a shitty reason. So sorry you missed out on that special experience.

I’ve heard a scarily similar story that wound up coming out to be the mother was cheating on the bride’s father with her instructor

[@christina1764]

I'm so sorry your mother failed you on such an important day. Even if she couldn't afford to either buy or contribute to the purchase of your wedding dress, she should have been there on gave you her support and share your joy this and she allows herself to criticize your choice is so wrong, she seems like a very selfish and toxic woman. I hope she was a better mother to you growing up, but I find it hard to believe it and I'm so sorry for you. I myself am the mother of a wonderful daughter and I can't imagine not being there for her when she chooses her wedding dress and I will happily pay for it and whatever style she chooses,I know it will be beautiful when she wears it. Some parents have the strange attitude that their role as parents ends when the child turns 18, my husband and I believe we are parents for life, of course our role changes when our daughter is getting older, but we will always be there for her and support her in every way. Children are not born with an expiration date 😊I wish you and your husband a long and happy life‼️

I lost my uncle due to epilepsy. They learned of him having it when he was in the Air Force in Thailand. Less then a year after he returned home and while driving his car had an epileptic episode. An officer seen he was acting a bit odd while at a stop light. My uncle turned off the main road when the episode occurred. He died on impact with a tree within a block. I remember him as a "hero" for turning off the main street when he felt the seizure coming on. Rest in peace Uncle Boyd. I will forever have your bars, name tag, flag and pool cue. 50 years later and I still remember and miss you.

Hello! I work as a sleep technician, who is someone in healthcare that does sleep studies for sleep disorders.

I identified as bi for a while before I found the pan label. I came out to my fwb and he was totally cool with it…for a while. Then kept mentioning a female friend of his and that she was bi. Kept making “jokes” that we’d love each other and totally want to hook up. Kept asking me if I was bi why I’ve never been with a woman (I just connect better with men usually, at least sexually), then came the three way jokes to “ease me in” to having sex with a woman so I won’t “get scared or grossed out”…dude, I’m into women, why would I be grossed out? Cut that off asap. He didn’t get that I didn’t appreciate those comments but when he started with the three way comments I said that’s what this was all about and to never talk to me again. He messaged me several months later like all was cool. I think he genuinely forgot about what happened. Mental people out there. Stay safe folks.

[@kbf9644]

To the best of my knowledge and highly simplified, Christians believe the path to their god is through Jesus. Jews believe it’s direct from the person to god, no middle man. Jews reject the concept of god in human form. Jews don’t recognize Jesus as divine. Christians literally derive their name from their following of Jesus as god in human form, as part of a holy trinity. And they don’t particularly like any peoples, not just Jewish, that don’t see things their way.

[@everymoviehero9248]

@@kbf9644 personally I always thought of Jesus as kind of like an ambassador of sorts, for God when he was on earth, and for us while he's up in heaven and we're down here.

Some believe that all of Jesus's talks against religious hypocrisy and having a "holier than thou" attitude were just attacks on Jewish people, because of they actually listened to Jesus's teachings they'd have to change their behavior and stop being a jerk so choosing to be prejudiced is easier than trying to be a better person

honestly I would MUCH rather be experiencing psychosis than have my husband cheat on me. hands down. any day of the week! he sounds like such a good guy too im glad he wasn't cheating and her medical condition can be treated

[@pansprayers]

@@WhitneyDahlin nope, having gone through both hallucinations from temporal lobe epilepsy and a cheating spouse, the cheating spouse was easier. He was cut loose. The seizures on the other hand make you question reality at a whole different level, cause you to lose your ability to be independent, and the meds can wreck your liver. Wishing for a lifelong medical condition in lieu of a temporary situation you can resolve is gross on a few levels.

[@WhitneyDahlin]

​@@pansprayers very true I'm not saying that having epilepsy or any type of hallucinations is ideal. but for me personally I'm in a unique position I have no family no support system besides my husband and his family and we have been together for almost ten years. I would literally rather die than deal with a betrayal from him. I just couldn't handle it mentally. but I totally understand that most people probably don't feel the same way. I have hallucinated once due to a medication interaction and lack of sleep and it was terrifying. Nightmare inducing. But I would personally rather have to go through that than lose my husband.

[@pansprayers]

@@WhitneyDahlin you aren't in a unique position. I was in the ICU, and our two kids were in the PICU and NICU, 50 miles away from each other when I found out he cheated it was because he'd created five kids during that time, and they tried to go after MY wages. No family support. None. Saying 'I'd rather die than have him cheat' is a gross, dramatic performance that warrants an exploration with a therapist on why you feel it's OK to make such performative statements. Nobody *wants* to be cheated on, but thinking it's OK to compare the two and then DOUBLING DOWN isn't OK.

[@yourlocalnoob4938]

Throughout the first story, I just couldn't shake the feeling that Op was hallucinating, but brushed it off because it's astronomically more likely for someone to have a cheating boyfriend than hallucinations like that and I didn't wanna be that one person gaslighting Op with crazy theories on r/Relationships. Boy was I shocked to find out that my nagging gut feeling was right, lmao.

[@tegantalks9612]

Story 1: I totally relate to OPs boyfriend. At the beginning of the pandemic my husband stopped sleeping due to stress and ended up having a psychotic episode that landed him in a psychiatric hospital. He too accused me of cheating on him and also started talking a bunch of nonsense. I wasn’t cheating on him and I ended up having to run away with our dog and daughter because I was worried he was going to hurt her by accident during his psychosis. It was very scary and we were lucky to have a good support network during that time.

Traditional wedding cows say"...in sickness and health until death do us part.". My husband had a "nervous breakdown" and chased me with a large chef's knife. I ran next door and called our older Christian mentors. The man calmed him down while his wife went upstairs while I got dressed and set out clothes for my husband. It was just after 6:00 am on weekday. They drove us to a mental hospital where my husband spent the next four weeks. He'd been under great stress at work and with his parents. I had 1 meeting with his psychiatrist when he was admitted and when he was set to come home. My husband got a disbelieving look on his face when I spoke of the knife incident. He spent 2 more weeks at home before going back to work. I admit I was nervous enough to hide the knives and sharp tools before he got home. That was 33 years ago and he's been a great, supportive husband with no questionable events again. Believe in our vows and the basic goodness in my husband is why we just celebrated our 53rd anniversary. I feel sorry for you, and whomever you marry, if you'd give up on him for any reason - short of him being a chronic mental and physical abuser.

When I was ~4 or 5 years old I had to take some pretty heavy antibiotics, the doctor neglected to inform my mother that a possible side effect was hallucinations, which was especially prevalent in children under 10.

Story 1, I was thinking hallucinations in the first op post due to the focus on the voice and she only briefly seeing the girl. I have a disorder that causes psychosis and most of the time, my hallucinations are things that could be real and in my mind they make perfect sense. Hallucinations are not always weird stuff. People can suffer from psychosis and not know bc their hallucinations are stuff that could be real. Sometimes it's something so simple as thinking you are talking to another person, maybe someone you know, having a completely normal conversation. That's why psychosis is scary, once you realize you hallucinate something that could be real, it makes you doubt everything else and that's when paranoia sets in. One of mine was simple has me thinking I had this beautiful poted plant in my living room that didn't needed too much water. Turns out, it was just an old empty box I had in the corner of my living room.

That potted plant may have been a simple example, but it still gave me a little chill. Did you give the empty box any water?

Okay to the vasectomy story. Why does that man not have a choice? It is his body his choice. I was in an extremely abusive relationship and my ex-husband demanded that I got my tubes tied after a third pregnancy. During the last breath of my child him and his father were in the labor room watching a college football game have very loud volumes and he was on the phone with his mistress fighting with her. Once my daughter was born he fed her and gave her to his mother before I ever had a chance to bond. A few weeks later I got a large cyst on my on my ovary I had to have this removed and the doctor said that if I needed anything else done this would be the time to do it this is when my ex-husband pushed for me to get my tubes tied. He said that the abuse would stop if I got my tubes tied because then that way he would not be stressed about more children and he would quit beating my children and quit abusing me so reluctantly I agreed. It was a day surgery and that evening he dropped me off at his mother's house and went and partied with his friends to celebrate. He had promised that after I got my tubes tied he would have his vasectomy. He never got it. Anyway it was just a horrible experience and I went through a huge depression and actually had a nervous breakdown which led to him being more abusive and anyway it all ended bad and I'm still suffering for it. Do not do anything to your body that you do not want to do.

I have temporal lobe epilepsy too. For me, it's almost like emotional seizures. If I'm happy, I'm estatic. If I'm upset, I'm in a murderous rage. Long story short, it is NOT an easy thing to deal with and any partner that can be supportive through all the seizures side effects is someone you need in your corner. My husband was my best friend since first grade and was my constant calm and steady rock when I felt so miserably out of control. He died 3 weeks ago on our 11th wedding anniversary at 38 years old from pancreatic cancer. Words can't express my devastation at his loss. If you find a partner that can support you at your worst, and vice versa, that is a relationship worth working hard for.

[@MariMotherofGoblins]

I know I JUST commented, but wanted to add a tidbit about men's birth control. The reason men's birthcontrol keeps ending up on the back burner, is because of the side effects. And though they are simular side effects to women's, it's about if the medication outweighs the side effects. For wemon the side effects are seen as ok, because they are better than the outcome of being pregnant. But for a man, a natural one who can't actually get pregnant, the side effects are seen as excessive because without the medication there would be no pregnancy in the man's body. The medications aren't about the other person's body, but the body consuming the medication. So as asinine as it is, that's why the pill for men hasn't made it to the public yet.

I started with asking what his future plans were and he said I that I should move in for our 1 year anniversary. I was so shocked that i just said I don't know. We are still together after almost a year and he's given me a key and has already cleared out half the closet space

[@mdaenen123]

The story about the vasectomy. It’s hilarious how clear Reddit hates men even when they have to agree with the man here they still find ways to fault him and uplift the wife. There is a solution. Condoms. She says “no. You must have a surgery because I said so”. Her attitude sucks.

[@stephjovi]

Condoms aren't a great solution. They're risky. She used birth control for years he's not willing to have a small procedure to avoid her having to go through another pregnancy. Yes his body his choice but has does he want to make more kids why is his seed so important?

[@unholyheretik]

The fact people were still trying to pressure him into getting a surgery he DIDN'T WANT was fucking INSASANE, seriously. I didn't want to get an endoscopy done, even with my horrific nausea and reflux issues and was pressured into getting one because "Well it's not that invasive." They trashed the back of my throat intubating me because they were fucking shit at it and decided to use a tube TOO BIG for my throat as I'm a very small person, and I had a horrible reaction to the anesthesia later on as well. So no, it's not "just a vasectomy", it's still a risk. It is always a risk when you undergo *any* sort of surgery or procedure. Getting your blood taken has risks, even. Pressuring someone into a medical procedure is disgusting, and anyone who agrees with his wife is disgusting, and should be ashamed of themselves.

[@absenttoday7226]

Still waiting to reach this story in the vid (don't know where it is yet) cause it sounds interesting and I wanna know all the details. Usually I hear about scenarios where dude wants a form of permanent form of birth control and wants female partner to get a tubal ligation while they themselves would not be willing to get a vasectomy. I'd tend to side with wife only cause tubal ligation tends to be more dangerous than vasectomy and I think it's an assholey/hypocritical move to expect somebody to get surgery while not being willing to put your own crotch on the line. To clarify I think it's morally bankrupt to try and pressure anyone into doing medical procedures they don't want. I just think it's even lower to expect someone to put their body on the line when you personally wouldn't put your own on the line that way. Like I think that guy should hit his wife with a "if you were in my shoes would you being willing to undergo tubal ligation?" and depending on her answer he'll see even more of his wife's true colors.

The wife made the ultimatum of "get a vasectomy or no sex" and he chose no sex. There's nothing wrong with not wanting to make alterations to your body. "But the wife took birth control for years!" Please point to the part where OP made her take it or got upset with her that she wanted to stop. "She shouldn't have to go through those procedures when a vasectomy would be so easy!" Please. Point. To the part where OP is making her do any of this. Jesus, let the dude not want to have his body altered. If anything, if he got pushed into the procedure, it might just foster resentment.

[@Gumbier_Than]

I'll admit, the unfairness in women bearing the brunt of birth control is bothersome, but that's one disadvantage of our biological differences. I agree that if she doesn't want another kid she has to accept going without sex. I think her aversion to condoms may have to do with the sensation, as it is different than without one. She could also be a fan of banana cream pies. 😏🤷🏾‍♀️

When that story talking about how she thought her boyfriend was cheating I know cheating is pretty common but I instantly thought like she's having some kind of psychological issue.

Re: the addict story: OP’s parents owe him NOTHING. He spent his part of his inheritance in advance with the repeated stints in rehab (as he admits but downplays), as well as probable significant financial support over the years (I’m basing that on what a sibling in the same position put my parents through). OP still very much has an addict’s selfish toddler-like mindset - it’s all about him, his parents are “unfair”, his parents are the cause of his relapse, etc. Until he gets past his tendency to blame everyone else for his failings he will never remain clean. He does not deserve anyone’s respect or consideration because he’s done nothing to earn it. Btw, my sibling and I now have a very good relationship, as they do with our parents, but it took many years for Sibling to get out of that mindset and start accepting that they were 100% responsible for everything that had gone wrong in their life.

i'm having trouble understanding how someone could be surprised that someone they're dating non-exclusively is surprised that they got a call from their non-exclusive "partner" wanting to hang out... what happened was LITERALLY the meaning of non-exclusive, and from what you describe, she was LOOKING for some sort of outward indication that you weren't okay with her leaving. she didn't get that, which leads directly to her being fine with getting together with you again... as somebody in the narrated comments said, COMMUNICATE! if you're non-exclusive, "no, MINE!" isn't gonna fly, but there's also something to be said for "we did come together, i'd appreciate if we at least LEFT together" from her perspective, it's easy enough to get the guys number and hook up with him later... but that's not gonna happen if you just stand there and watch her go... honestly, it sounds like you want to move to being "exclusive", and that's ANOTHER conversation that you need to have, whether you two continue your relationship or not...

The inheritance story parents is frustrating. All the parents have to do is put the money a trust and give him a set monthly amount. It might be less than what the siblings get. But it should be enough to keep him out of poverty. The OP very likely needs to prove to the parents that they can stay sober. But it seems pretty cruel to set them down and tell them that they won’t receive any inheritance.

[@ss.surprise]

They have likely spent a LOT of money on rehab and other things to keep this person alive this long and are likely unwilling to give them anything else that might have any potential to enable them to kick off addiction again. Like, 'oh, my rent's set to be paid for the next two years? Then I've got all this free money from my job for drugs instead of paying rent!' is not an impossible fear, it's entirely possible that could be the reality. You can't predict if they will stay sober or if any windfall is all it takes for them to go 'to hell with soberity!' And they likely sat them down to say they won't be getting inheritance because better they know now than be surprised and trying to fight their siblings over the money later and give everyone a hard time when they're already grieving. With how they still talk manipulatively, the parents are likely afraid that anything they offer will just enable further addiction because they are still thinking and talking like an addict who is still trying to shun consequences or negotiate to avoid them.
