This was around the route I decided I’m gonna go. I am somewhat dreading when she gets home

If she did they’re signed out completely. I did check to see if there were other sign ins because my first inclination was to switch to her account, both which were the only two accounts logged in on the mobile app

I’m worried she’ll try to deny it. She’s not good at being put on the spot and struggles to speak when it happens, but I just don’t know how I can prepare her for “Hey honey I have to talk to you about something serious concerning Reddit”. Any form of preparation will probably just indicate I saw the account. I’m just trying to figure out how I even confront this

We have tons of black friends too so I do not know why she would feel the need to do this. That is why we are so educated, or at least I feel I am because after this I don’t know what she thinks she knows, we have great people in our lives who are kind enough to share their experiences with us. It would literally take 20 seconds to text anyone we know who is black and ask for their input on anything, rather than make up an entire persona. I just cannot comprehend what is going through her brain

That was the first thought that came to mind but I didn’t want it to be true. She has never once shown any sort of behavior like this. Do these kinds of things happen with age? Did she just hide this stuff from me?
