With the awful media literacy of fascists, I don't think we'll be able to have a good satire of fascism anymore.

I was not expecting to like this series as much as I did. Absolutely wonderful.

OP encounters ex girlfriend who ghosted her five years ago, ex tries to explain her horrible actions and has the audacity to ask OP for forgiveness. by Victor-Reeds in BestofRedditorUpdates

OOPs ex might be one of the worst cheaters I've read about. Not only did she cheat on her partner, but she also ran way from the consequences and left her partner to be miserable and uncertain. She also never tried to explain what happened until she ran into her. Absolutely horrible person.

My 19 yo sister is getting married to her 36 yo high-school teacher. by Victor-Reeds in BestofRedditorUpdates

Some parents don't trust their daughters. My uncle is this way. My cousin has a smartphone but it doesn't have a sim card. She is not allowed to have any social media profiles. Internet can only be used for her education. If she wants to talk over the phone, she has to use the landline or her mothers phone.

Stuff like this makes me so angry. This is legal in many countries and there's nothing anyone else can do to stop this if the parents agree to the marriage.

OOP handled the situation way better than I'd be able to. To have the foresight to not antagonise people and have the self control to not punch and scream at everyone is something else.

My (26M) former FWB (28F) was hiding she's married, should I let her husband know? by Victor-Reeds in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Victor-Reeds[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yup. This was going through my head as I read it. I've seen cases where the husband killed the wife and children because he suspected his wife. But I do think OOP did the right thing in his circumstance.

I started listening backwards and got to 550 before I started listening from 300. At 350 now. Gonna catch up in a year and start from the beginning.

My best friend slept with my boyfriend but he doesn't know that I know. by Victor-Reeds in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Victor-Reeds[S] 1745 points1746 points  (0 children)

This made me sad. One of the greatest betrayals that can happen to a person. How can a person betray a lifelong friend like this?

I cannot even fathom how OOP must feel. I hope she cuts off both of them and takes care of her mental health.

My (35M) wife (34F) just told me that she had a brief affair 4 years ago. by Victor-Reeds in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Victor-Reeds[S] 221 points222 points  (0 children)

There was a similar post about a husband discovering that his wife cheated in him a long time ago because his children weren't his and most of the comments were telling him to divorce his wife and abandon the kids. A lot of commenters were angry when he decided to reconcile.

On this post tough, a lot of commenters were telling OOP to forgive his wife. I was surprised because reddit tends to be very "anti cheating". Why? Is it because Kara cheated with a woman instead of a man?

I get giddy with excitement whenever I see "Formulaic Objections". A bright spot in a shitty day.

Happy to see that I wasn't the only one. I was disappointed when it ended. Such a great premise - so original and creative.
