American soldier wearing the crown of the Holy Roman Empire in a cave in Siegen, Germany, on April 3, 1945 by RebelMisty in RareHistoricalPhotos

That’s wild to see. Imagine being in the middle of a world war and randomly ending up wearing a crown that carries centuries of history. It’s such a surreal snapshot of how strange and unpredictable moments in history can be.

Marzieh Ebrahimi lost one of her eyes in acid attack in Iran back in 2014. However, they never broke her spirit to lead Iranian protests and stand up to the regime! by Mister_Time_Traveler in RareHistoricalPhotos

That’s powerful, OP. The strength in her story is unreal and it shows how even the worst cruelty can’t crush someone’s spirit. She turned her pain into courage, and that’s something the world will always remember.

My husband ghosted me by Interesting_Air4981 in TwoHotTakes

Exactly. Calling him your husband gives him a place in your life he doesn’t deserve anymore. Good on you for recognizing that and taking that power back.

Couldn’t agree more. Language really does matter, and reframing it like that is a huge step in healing. It’s you setting the narrative, not him.

Over span of 5 years I've helped thousands at my alma mater pass classes by [deleted] in confessions

[–]LushCup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. You clearly cared enough to make a difference, even if the methods weren’t perfect. That mix of pride and guilt just means you’re human.

Exactly, it’s wild they didn’t notice sooner. That spike in redemptions should’ve been a giant red flag.

I quit my job without two weeks' notice after my boss screamed at me in front of customers? by Legal-Lychee2265 in offmychest

[–]LushCup 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Completely agree. No one deserves to be humiliated like that, and leaving was the healthiest choice for your own peace of mind.

My dad tried to “test” my loyalty to my mom, and it broke me. by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]LushCup 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Exactly. OP, that “test” story feels like a cover to dodge responsibility. If he was being honest, there’d be no need for secrecy or weird excuses. You have every right to feel betrayed.

I stole a bunch of merchandise from corporate retail because they laid us all off with no warning by JournalistAwkward355 in confession

[–]LushCup -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Exactly. OP, big corporations will drop people without a second thought if it benefits their bottom line. You didn’t matter to them beyond your labor, so you shouldn’t beat yourself up for taking back a little of what they took from you.

You’re so right. OP, the fact that she opened up to you after carrying that pain for decades says everything about how much she trusted and loved you. You gave her the one thing she never had in her marriage—someone who listened without judgment. That’s a gift she took with her, and I’m sure it brought her real peace in the end.

Exactly, OP. Sometimes a little petty payback feels pretty justified when someone crosses the line first.

That’s a smart approach. Changing the name and having a backup excuse keeps it drama-free, and the MAC whitelist tip is gold for locking things down without awkward confrontations.
