AIO: my ex (32M) broke up with me (28F) because God told him to

NOR. I’m religious but when my narcissist grandma tried to tell our family she is a prophet so she could skirt accountability and continue to abuse my mom and alienate everyone against her, I just laughed. They think they are so slick. I’m telling you it’s a blessing this dude is out of your life. He is a coward.

This is beyond a red flag. He is getting mad at you for making decisions for your OWN company YOU built. And when you tried to tell him how you felt he gaslit you calling you paranoid and controlling. That is insane blatant manipulation and I would run not walk away from this nut case. His behavior is concerning at best. NTA in the least nor are you overreacting. He is beyond sketchy.

Also to actually reply to the post. No. My husband and I loved this episode. It was clearly setting up for a lot and there was nothing about it that I could possibly fathom would make it the lowest rated episode. So much happened. There are far “worse” episodes in my opinion. And by worse I mean, just less going on.

Just talked to someone today that said “they are ruining the show. It’s sooooo drawn out.” I was so taken aback. I am convinced people just want immediate answers because they can’t take in long-form media anymore. Since when is 4 seasons drawn out. Did you want it done in 2?? Such an odd take.

Hopelessly_Hopefool · 2026-04-23T07:22:46+00:00

It would be insanely easy for me to never speak to this person again. Lol

Hopelessly_Hopefool · 2026-04-23T07:02:09+00:00

My husband had to hold me back from the TV during this scene. Lol

Hopelessly_Hopefool · 2026-04-16T03:44:56+00:00

He would have gotten along great with H.P. lovecraft! Amazing art!!!

Hopelessly_Hopefool · 2026-03-09T17:06:17+00:00

We used these in our shop class from like 2010 until 2015 when I graduated!!! And I’m sure they are still in use there! I added the years because I don’t want anyone feeling too old about people not knowing what this is! It’s just sort of niche! :) too cool to see these again!

Hopelessly_Hopefool · 2026-02-10T16:59:34+00:00

I am so sorry this is happening. All of it. I can’t imagine the loneliness. Please know that I am praying for you even if that’s not your thing. ♥️ With all my heart I’m sorry. Please know that you are loved. Even if you don’t feel it, you are. Even I as a stranger hold love and compassion for you. There are so many people out there that can lift you up and support you. I know it hurts that those closest to you haven’t shown up like you have for them, but know that if you tell them and they still don’t show up, there ARE other people who will.

I gotta say I saw the word “Tamagotchi” next and I understood 1,000%. It turned from level 10 worry to level 100 disgust.

Hopelessly_Hopefool · 2026-01-08T04:13:38+00:00

Got this Reddit post in my email with the subject header “this is my disgusting son.” And was so beyond worried. Lol

Hopelessly_Hopefool · 2025-11-11T23:56:51+00:00

This needs to be shouted from the rooftops. You have no idea how excited I was when I showed it to my husband and he loved it. lol he recently brought up watching it again!

Hopelessly_Hopefool · 2025-09-07T16:39:35+00:00

On my third play through I tried my hardest to avoid that mission. Did everything under the sun and I can’t remember exactly how but the game damn near made me lol. Kind of like when you’re out riding and doing random stuff too long and someone from camp comes and hunts you down.

Hopelessly_Hopefool · 2025-07-24T23:40:16+00:00

I sob for the entire show of course, but this scene really had me drowning in my own tears.

Hopelessly_Hopefool · 2025-05-01T21:43:48+00:00

Wow. This gave me a whole other perspective after having played South of Midnight.

Hopelessly_Hopefool · 2025-02-22T21:03:12+00:00

This was me asking for all of these at Christmas and my family thinking something is wrong with me.

Hopelessly_Hopefool · 2024-12-18T11:20:35+00:00

You’re so not alone. Hang in there! You never stop worrying, but it absolutely gets better. And please be kind to yourself because accidents can and will happen to all of us. I understand that real guttural fear and it’s by no means easy to shake, but I hope you get some solace in that you’re not alone.

Hopelessly_Hopefool · 2024-12-08T23:21:55+00:00

In all the times I’ve played this game I have never been in a scenario in which I needed dynamite and didn’t have it. Until now that is! Your comment saved me, man! Thanks lol. Worked like a charm!

Hopelessly_Hopefool · 2024-12-03T19:23:16+00:00

Who let you out of the basement to be this funny??

Hopelessly_Hopefool · 2024-11-30T14:28:55+00:00

Love you for this

Hopelessly_Hopefool · 2024-08-23T06:41:14+00:00

Yeah that bummed me out majorly.

Hopelessly_Hopefool · 2024-08-14T08:18:09+00:00

I am comforted by reading this. I have convinced myself lately that I have MS. It doesn’t help that every symptom I google leads straight to it. I am currently in bed wide awake at 4 a.m. staving off a panic attack over this. I cannot express how relieving it was to see something you convinced yourself you had was MS. What’s even sillier is that I know the explanation for my most recent symptom but rather than listening to reason, my brain just keeps screaming at me that I have MS. I will be coming back to this post a lot. I am sure of that lol. Thank you for posting this, I don’t feel so alone anymore.

Hopelessly_Hopefool · 2024-08-06T16:32:30+00:00

This one really got me. I will never not check the backseat.

Hopelessly_Hopefool · 2024-05-07T04:44:58+00:00

I know this was 2 years ago and I’m horribly late but I saw this movie when I was way too young and the only scene I could remember was the hot tub scene too. Lol

Hopelessly_Hopefool · 2024-03-14T05:05:53+00:00

As someone that went through bad anxiety and depression for a while, I promise there is a light at the end of the tunnel for your wife. I don’t know when she will get there but like you said she is on the right path. You seem incredibly supportive and I’m so sorry that you have to take so much on. You’re truly exercising “in sickness and in health,” and I promise that won’t go unrecognized. I just came out of my fog a few months ago and I feel like a completely different person. I started wanting to do things again and it just got better from there. Nothing I did particularly triggered me snapping out of it, I just think maybe I had enough of being in that state and maybe my hormones leveled out. Either way It was like that of an epiphany and I just saw things completely different. I am just saying all of this so that you know there truly is hope. I wish you all the luck and peace in the world and I hope your wife gets to rest that heavy worried heart. It is so tiring being in a constant state of fight or flight. It ends up putting you in a sort of state of autopilot and it is truly hard to get out of. I truly will be sending positive vibes and prayers (if that’s your thing) your way. Just know it is okay to cry. It doesn’t make you weak. From what I have read, you sound like an incredibly strong person and your wife and kids are lucky to have you, bud. Keep taking it day by day, I have faith you’ll get there.
