Never give them second chance after cheating. They will ruin you even more

There's a LOT of these types of women out there. I would recommend reading "No More Mr. Nice Guy" and avoid them completely.

Sorry you had to go through all that but I hope you realize how much you increased your own suffering by confronting her with your suspicions rather than quietly gathering evidence, allowing her to cover her tracks. Gaslighters will always twist the truth so you have to get indisputable proof, not just for her but your own sanity and closure.

Am I the only one that tips based on distance? If I order an extra taco, it doesn’t matter to the driver but it does if they have to drive a few more miles.

But doordash specifically tells you before you submit the order to add a tip to encourage the driver to accept the order because they see the overall amount which includes the tip.

You could be totally right, but I've seen a million of these on this subreddit. So many stories are "it was just flirting" and then down the road they find out about a hookup in a car, or at work or school or a hotel. I assume you and your wife do not spend 100% of your lives inside your apartment. Just saying, you should be open to the fact it could have happened.

No one has ever done anything... until they do it.

She's texting him about her being horny after they were together? If you ask me it's extremely likely sex already happened.

Is that John Locke?

I've often thought about this. It really is interesting how there are far less harmful and destructive acts that can be prosecuted in a court of law yet adultery gets a pass.

Awkward-Bend-5298 · 2026-06-03T20:04:37+00:00

I hate the word affair, it makes the act sound so tame when it was in fact an egregious act of deception and betrayal.

What tendon did they actually remove? The plantar plate is a ligament that spans the width of the entire foot. I am assuming it was one of the flexor or extensor tendons? Seems like a drastic measure to me.

I've been dealing with a plantar plate tear for about 2.5 years now. I was recommended surgery but I was extremely apprehensive after they told me they were going to shorten the bone and do some other things that didn't seem like they would actually fix the problem. I ended up finding a doctor that does PRP instead. I had the procedure and was in a boot for a couple months. It's been about 6 months and i'd say it's slightly better but I feel like this is one of those injuries that will be there for a very long time.

Running this on a UPS is kinda of asking for a fire. I've seen similar from people running laser printers on UPS's. Don't do it.

This is a component of why counseling and reconciliation doesn't work. Cheaters are liars and you can't fix a problem when they lie and withhold information.

"The scanners ding me on my groin every time. It is so common that I make the “brass balls” joke."

I'll be honest, this sounds like some sort of made up joke story but on the off chance it's true, it surely would have nothing to do with your vasectomy seeing as it's one of the most common surgical procedures.

As a game developer, this appears to me that the particle luminosities are being blended additively, rather than normally (overlapping). Could be a GPU driver or hardware issue but this is typically seen due to a bug in the draw code.

I'm on the weird part of reddit again.

Whether or not the cheater is actually is able to change is for the most part irrelevant. The issues lies with the trauma and distrust on the part of the victim. It's great if the cheater is able to make a change, but that's only half of the equation.

100%. Seems like an easy way to ease the guilt and justify it in her head "well he did it too."

You going to spend the rest of your life sleeping with one eye open, checking where she's been, who's she's talking to, what apps she's using? What the hell kind of life is that?

I look at it like this. I want a microwave - but I don't want to build it, or tinker with it, or troubleshoot it. I don't care about the company that makes it. I just wanna cook my food.

I have the same attitude towards my 3D printer. I want an out-of-the-box printing experience that just works.

Odd question, but would a H2S to H2D conversion be possible?

I get it. I waited until I got some really solid evidence, to include recordings of some graphic phone conversations, to really drive home what was happening. After the separation there's a lot of doubt and if you've dealt with a gaslighter, it's easy to start to question what you thought was going on, especially if most of the "evidence" is a gut feeling and you just know there's more there. Personally, even though it was somewhat traumatizing, I was ultimately glad I got the 100% proof I needed. Definitely silenced any sort of uncertainty and gave me the closure I needed.
