That's what makes me think it's just a quick photo before she falls asleep and then when she wakes up, or maybe there are duplicates from one night he looked cute and she took like 3-5. Not to overly justify that, it's pretty strange to have so many, but that's just the only thing I can think of. I take the occasional photo of my partner in the morning every few weeks, or if they're napping, especially if our pets are with them.

After my husband passed away, I discovered he had a file within a file labeled, "Other Pics." I was screen-sharing at the time with a local organization's president who he had been volunteering with. The main file was their documents and photos. I was helping them get files he was working on when he passed. I opened the file and found mildly zoomed in butt pics. There are SO many butts. He was not a 'butt guy'. I was shocked, confused, and suddenly concerned. The person watching my screen gasped. I immediately stopped sharing and excused myself. The deep dive into the folder made me nervous. I'd heard horror stories from other widows, but it had been months, and nothing sketchy had popped up. We were in love, and he was a stand-up guy. I could tell they were candid shots. The locations and outfits were different. It took me a few minutes to realize they were ALL of me. I've never taken pics of my own butt from a distance, but apparently, he had. I'm not sure he ever intended me to see them. While it was weird, it was mostly funny and a bit sweet. I didn't go through any of the rest of his files. We were always careful with each other's privacy. I'm glad I found the pics. It was like he was winking at me from the great beyond. The org's president and I had a good laugh about it later. I deleted the file and live on knowing that while he may not have been a 'butt guy', he sure liked mine.

Exactly this. Or if I'm video calling with my partner and the screen freezes with him making a funny expression, I'll screenshot it and then immediately send it to him so he can share in the laugh.

I think aita is a modern version of gossip circles from women in history. The circles they outlawed and deemed witch craft. Women's social network is their biggest safety measure. When a woman in a bad relationship has been isolated, or if her social circle is equally unhealthy, reddit can be their first reference of healthy and normal. Most people who're being abused have some level of instinct that their treatment is wrong. One stranger online can feed that instinct enough to leave.

[@kcg131]

I think the husband that wont read the book is in the wrong. It's not about enjoying the book its about supporting your partner. My partner reads all my school papers and he doesnt care about the subject but he knows its important to me so he reads them. Obviously a book is bigger than a few essays but still spend a few hours at least reading part of it just to support your spouse.

thats not usual at all for someone to read all your school papers tho, I'd never do that 😂 idc

[@nad_bell_]

I read my husband's research papers, including his mind-numbing work term reports, and work he was actually proud of, because it was important to him. I think you should show up for your partner the way they want to be shown up for, not the way that feels natural to you. 🤷‍♀️ Reading an entire manuscript is a big commitment, but he could have compromised and offered to read a chapter or an excerpt, and I am sure it would have meant the world to her.

[@kcg131]

@@nad_bell_ that's what I'm saying! Like I can't imagine my partner writing a whole book they are proud of and me refusing to read any of it?? I get maybe not the whole thing but man's can't even skim the first chapter? I would be devastated!

[@erinrodgersStoryCoach]

I understand supporting your partner. However, as someone who has read stuff people who are important to me have written in a genre I have no connection to, you can deeply hurt feelings by mistake. Does the person want notes? If not you might be fine to have just read it and it's not your genre. But reading someone's art that is not a genre that you are not connected to can be a minefield. I'm always proud of someone for writing a book. However, because writing a book is very personal and tough "I'm really proud of you for writing a book" can feel dismissive to people (or at least that's what I've had people tell me) I always want to be supportive of people I love. However, I sometimes don't know the right way to do so that doesn't hurt feelings if they are doing something I don't have a connection to. That being said, the guy in the story is not being supportive IMHO

[@mapleearles6051]

This. I quite literally have dyslexia, I struggle immensely to read more than a few sentences but when my partner has asked me to read his law assignments I’ve done my best to read through it. They want my opinion and to show off their work, and I love being able to do that. For the long papers I’ve started putting them on txt to speech so I can actually absorb what’s happening. Being supportive should not be a chore

[@dangernoodledee111]

I think the big thing is that she never told him about these photos. I have taken photos of certain family members (like my dad) while they were sleeping because they were doing something cute, like cuddling with one of our pets or something. But once they wake up, I show them the photo and ask if they want me to delete it or something. I also don't share the photo without their permission. It's also a subtle way of gauging their comfort levels and seeing if they are generally uncomfortable with this kind of thing. The fact that she never made him aware of these photos is concerning to me.

I think this is a valid point, but I also think it’s the volume. I might take a picture of someone while they’re sleeping because they’re doing something cute, like you said, and then forget about it and never bring it up. She took these THOUSANDS of pictures, put them in an album, AND kept it a secret. Even if she took a few secret or forgotten photos, I’d be like, okay, interesting… but thousands is intense.

Only vaguely related to the random text story-when I was in high school I got a random text from an unknown number and I was like “hey sorry you have the wrong number!” and then THEY responded saying “what the hell are you talking about??” and then for the next few class periods we were arguing back and forth between breaks on who had gotten whose number and who had texted first, until I brought it up with a classmate in my creative writing class who I had done mock trial with the year before. As it turns out, for some reason I received a text that she had sent me THE YEAR BEFORE as if she had just sent it-and obviously, since we didn’t text about anything but the case which was now over, she had since deleted the conversation long before. So from my phone, it looked like she had sent me a text out of nowhere. From her phone, it looked like I had sent her a text out of nowhere.

there was a period of like a few days in the mid 2000s where people who were customers of a certain cellular provider were receiving texts from over a year prior. it was a huge number of people, you can look it up online. people were receiving texts from loved ones numbers who had since passed, etc. i think i was in high school at the time as well so it was likely between 2006-2010, probably.

If you're not gonna read the context, how could you even make editing or story suggestions? You can't properly tell what works and what doesn't without reading it, so if it's beyond the brainstorming stage and there is a text, then either read the text or be increeedibly respectful about any suggestions...

I could give them the benefit of the doubt somewhat if they hadn't gone out of their way to avoid checking in with OP until after she blew up in frustration, too, instead waiting until she had to have such a large reaction to get their attention. Why couldn't they have cared when she asked them why they kept wanting the stakes to be nudity? Or when she left from a mixture of not feeling well and being uncomfortable? Or when she came back to check on them? YIKES, the disrespect from them both towards OP is astounding.

I cant trust your judgement. I want some compatibility in our belief systems and thinking. Eg I wouldnt want to be with a religious woman either. Have some spiritual or esoteric beleifs or whatever, but if you are certain that your diety(ies) is(are) the absolute truth of the universe, compatability becomes an issue again.

[@DwynTwo]

Reading a book YOUR PARTNER wrote is not that huge of a commitment, honestly. Showing interest in what your partner is doing is literally the bare minimum, and writing your first book is *monumental* . It takes so much work and dedication, and when you finish it, it's not only one of the best feelings in the world, it's also a giant accomplishment. I'd be so hurt if my partner refused to read it. I just finished my first book and all my friends and family- some of them aren't readers at all, some of them don't like the genre I wrote- excitedly offered me to proof read it and told me how excited they were to read it. The thing is, I don't expect this from my friends, but I would absolutely expect this from family and a partner. He doesn't have to read every single book she writes. But the first one? Come on. Even if you aren't a reader, can't you just suck it up this one time for her? If you can't even commit to reading ONE book for your partner, that's sad, and if I was the one refusing to read my husband's first book that he's so excited about because I can't be bothered to, I'd be REALLY embarrassed to see that even casual friends who aren't big readers themselves are willing to. Think of a different scenario: a man gets to play soccer in the world cup for the first time, but his wife hates sports and doesn't watch a single one of his games.

That’s just how partnerships work, genuine interest in what your partner’s doing. The wife said it means a lot to her if he read her book, responding with “I don’t like reading” isn’t good enough.

[@saltiestsiren]

I took a handful of pics of my then-bf sleeping but I told him they existed and I can't imagine taking that many or being so secretive about it. The reason I took them is because he looked cute or in a position that was so strange I had to show him later. And we just laughed about it. Having so many and keeping it a secret is saddening. OCD or another mental health issue is definitely a possibility. Compulsions come in endless shapes and forms and obsessions frequently center around the safety or security of loved ones. As for the astrology one. I'm suspicious because there's this whole thing about people (men) who refuse to date anyone (women) who are into astrology so it seems either made-up or inauthentic/dishonest. Now taking astrology incredibly seriously to the point of it being your personal gospel isn't a good idea. I enjoy astrology because it's fun. Sometimes using horoscopes to guide my normal everyday decisions or know which direction to look. Discriminating between people of certain signs is dumb. Bisexual wife is probably having an identity crisis. It's a pretty normal part of realizing or finally admitting to oneself that they're queer or trans. But also she may just be trying the haircut. I really don't like it when men (and women, but mostly men) who suddenly feel their relationship is in danger when their partner realizes/reveals they're attracted to other genders. It's probably based on the myth that bisexual people are more likely to cheat on their partners to "fulfill" some type of innate desire to be with other genders which is bi/panphobia at its most basic. Also girls born after 1993 obviously "charge they phone" but I think we need to append to that meme, "charge they vape" lmfao

I think the key here is TIME. You've given this woman 11 years and your family. Things like this are 100% valid to feel violated by and want to stop immediately, BUT all that time and love and shared life shouldn't be thrown away without give her the grace and space to ACCEPT that reality and YES I'd feel this way if they were a man too, snarky anti-fems. Something THIS outside the norm is probably going to take some effort and conditioning to reverse her feelings on. She clearly takes some kind of comfort or joy in this and what's absent is how YOU'D feel, since she never let you know. I believe though, that if that 11 years was really a good 11 years, it's worth the work and effort to try and fix. If she's not receptive at ALL, then sure you have a real problem but even that could be addressed by OPENLY and LOVINGLY asking for her family help (You were wronged, but if you want it fixed you have to again, have some grace for your family. In this case your wife) and if that has no luck, TELLING HER that this is bad enough to risk your trust in the marriage and see how THAT effects her view of her own actions. BUT this is what makes me 100% sure this is fake. There is just ZERO other info and anyone who this ACTUALLY happened too would either explain how INSANELY out of the blue this is and explain how other wise great their Wife is, because they are genuinely baffled and hurt. OR They would be listing off other red flags from before this, because this post would basically be them trying to console themselves about how the divorce they've BEEN thinking about is justified, cause Strangers also found this to be an insane last straw.

I haven't watched the video yet but I say divorce and no-contact for all of them.

If you’re trying to plan a surprise and want to make sure she’s free… wouldn’t you communicate with the friends and say “hey this weekend don’t plan anything!” And hey SHE asked if she could go… he didn’t ask/confirm she was free that day…

[@kimmmy86]

Why is it up to her partner to ask the friends about plans? I’m married and I’d think that the friends should be asking her husband about any plans?

Skinny dipping one reads so Midwest to me. Like that's a South Dakota question.

The 9k pictures one feels really gross to me because yeah, *straight* to divorce is a worst-case-scenario sort of conclusion but it’s not just ‘talk about it’ weird. She’s taking the pictures without asking- and because it’s the guy’s wife and not the other way around, a lot of people try to explain it away. Stop and think for a second how scary it would be to find out your spouse has taken *NINE THOUSAND* pictures of you without asking OR even telling you. You have no idea they’ve been snapping pictures this whole time. If one of my boyfriends did that I would genuinely call my dad to come sit with me while I talked to my partner. I would be *terrified.*

I am an author. My boyfriend had never read anything I've written that I've shared with him (except the things we write together) because he says he forgets. I've told him that it really hurts my feelings and he understands but hasn't gotten better, so I simply don't share more than a paragraph or two that I've written with him. But with that said, he will still talk with me for hours about the storries I write even though he won't read them, and that takes some of the edge off. I can see how this would be a complete dealbreaker if I had a finished manuscript and he refused to read it. I don't think that I would break up with him if it happened (_when_ it happens, most likely) to me, but I can 100% understand why someone would do that. Your stories are an extension of your own soul, and if you have written a book it is a huge part of your identity. Your partner not being interested in that at all is kind of disgusting.

RIGHT

[@sunnyandthechlo]

As a writer that one kills me. My husband is dyslexic and reading is difficult for him, so I read aloud to him. That might be her husband’s problem, or something similar. But my husband actually co-writes books with me now. When he first found out I write, he had me read all of my work to him even though he never had an interest in books until that point. Nothing has ever made me happier. I absolutely don’t think she is overreacting, a book takes so long to create and is a true labor of love so him not having any interest in such a big piece of her bared soul really sucks.

[@bhelliom3]

I legitimately would not date someone who heavily believed in astrology, and I would tell them it’s a dealbreaker. I’ve spent my entire life becoming me; every single person alive has a different lived experience, dif genetics, culture, hair, skin, etc. that all inform how we begin and who we become. Anyone who wants to tell me who they think I am based on something as insignificant as the day I was born will not be a part of my life. I’ve had complete strangers look at me with DISGUST because of my birthday. I’ve been atheist since I was capable of forming intelligent thought and I cannot stress enough how insane it is that people think they know anyone because of a BIRTH. DAY.

[@-llouu]

People that astrology dictate their lives are weird because it’s only part of the picture and it’s why it’s not accurate they go in surface level and make it their personality maybe it’ll be more accurate (but not completely) if they used the houses but if you ask any person that does astrology about the houses and stuff they blank when it’s the actual meat of the philosophy 😂

[@zooh8017]

I had someone on a dating app say she could tell I was a Pisces by how my eyes are shaped… I’m not a Pisces. That opening line gave me such an ick. Would my eyes have been shaped differently if I was born two days later as a different star sign? It was a complete deal breaker just for being a very stupid thing to believe.

[@-llouu]

@@zooh8017 this is sending me

[@mcowley895]

Yeah same for me. Surface level, I don't think I could date anyone who believes in a faith-based theology. Deeper than that, I think there's something cruel about a person who says that things about you that you can't control (like the date/time/location of your birth) in some way predetermine who you are as a person. Obviously it isn't the same thing, but it gives off the same vibe to me as people who think people of certain genders/races carry certain traits "by nature". I'm never going to be comfortable with someone who doesn't look at people as individuals before anything else.

10:29 Solution for the man not being a reader. Use the text to speech function. It may not be amazing, but it can help if he really struggles with reading
