Who Do They Think They Are?! | Reading Reddit Stories

- Hi, welcome to Reddit Stories. I'm Shane and today's theme, three letters, WTF. These are some weird ones. And I'm joined by two weird ones. - I knew it. - [Shane] Amazing. - I knew it. - I knew it. - We knew it. - I knew it. - And we knew it. WTF Shane. - Okay, we are filming this late. This is our last video of our shoot week. It's a Friday. The last time we had a Red Stories at the end of the week. It was with you two and it was--. - Peaceful. - Insane. - It was bonkers.

- We're gonna stay calm and collected. - [Person 1] Oh yeah. - And focused today. - Yes, our middle names. - Yeah. - But these are some what the F stories. - [Person 1] Can't wait. - Yeah. So, and most Reddit stories are weird. These are apparently really weird. - Do you guys type back WTF like over text? - I have. - No, not since like 10 years ago. You do it? You type WTF? - Shane just said that he did, let's attack him. - I'll say WTF. - No, I spell it out full. - Oh, okay.

- I like to go what the (bleeps). - You send, it's three texts. - And then a face emoji that's like duh. - How about LMAO? - I never touch that ever in my life. - LMFAO? - I love, "Shots Shots Shots Shot Shots". Great wedding song. They're related. - You are so fascinating to me. (everyone laughing). - I will take--. - Right before we started filming, you got into a staring contest that went.

until you started streaming tears. - Yeah. - That's not true. - That's why you keep touching all the tissues. - That's not true. - Don't start crying. You should start the stories. - Okay. - [Person 1] Eric, let's go. - Everyone buckle up. It's about to get weird. This first post from Am I The Asshole. My girlfriend uses ChatGPT. every time we have a disagreement. Am I the asshole for saying she needs to stop? Me, 25 and my girlfriend 28 have been dating. for the past eight months.

We've had a couple of big arguments. and some smaller disagreements recently. Each time we argue, my girlfriend will go away. and discuss the argument with ChatGPT. Even doing so in the same room sometimes. Whenever she does this, she'll then come back. with a well constructed argument. breaking down everything I said or did during our argument. I've explained to her that I don't like her doing so. as it can feel like I'm being ambushed with thoughts. and opinions from a robot. It's nearly impossible for a human being. to remember every small detail and break it down bit by bit.

But AI has no issue doing so. Whenever I've voiced my upset, I've been told. that ChatGPT says you're insecure or ChatGPT. says you don't have the emotional bandwidth. to understand what I'm saying. My big issue is it's her formulating the prompts. So if she explains that I'm in the wrong, it's going. to agree without me having a chance to explain things. Am I the asshole for asking her. to stop using ChatGPT in this context? - No. - What the hell? - No. - No, what the (bleeps). - WTF.

- LMFAO. - Okay. - This is an episode of "Black Mirror". - Literally. - Well, the robot told me that you're wrong. - Right? - And the robot's like, "Yes, Janet, listen to me.". - This is so good. - "You should break up with him.". - This is so good. - "We are meant. to be together, Janet.". - But it's so unfair because the robot doesn't actually know. probably all of the context. It's skewed in the way that she is typing all of it in. - He should go, he'll go talk to the robot. and the robot's like, "Oh my god, I didn't know your side of it, dude. Ah, dude, I'm so sorry.".

- Right. - That's why he needs to go on ChatGPT and go. "Okay, let me ask my side.". And then they compare notes and then they have robot sex. - Robot wars. - And then robots. are fighting and then they can go makeup. - Yes. - Yeah. - Tell him that's the solution. - Text him. - Tell him, tell him. - Text him WTF LMFAO. - I can't believe she said full chest ChatGPT. says you're insecure. And she said that seriously. - Honestly, power move. - How old is she? - 28. - 28.

- Yeah. - And he's 25. So she's like, get. with the technology. - She's like you're young. I am smart and technologically savvy. - You're stupid and the robot says that I'm smart. Yeah, I think you're kind of of eliminating so much. 'cause with a disagreement, the whole point is your different POVs. So this isn't her POV, this is some robot's POV. - Yeah. - ChatGPT. - Which is just a generated, it's generative AI. So it's, who knows where it's getting it from. It's not like it's correct 'cause it's ChatGPT, it could be completely wrong.

- [Person 1] Absolutely. - You can prompt it to be anything. - Yeah. - [Shane] So--. - I'm sure also if she is doing it in the middle of a fight, she could probably also be bringing in some of that manic. So it's like he sucks, right? And then ChatGPT's like right. Yeah agreed. - He's wrong. - This is just weird. - Yeah, no, this is not how you communicate. with your partner at all. - What is such a modern issue to have though? Like right now, like. - It's such a, if you try to explain this five years ago--. - It's scary. Yeah, they'd be like, well, how do they know? - My girlfriend keeps using AI to win arguments.

You'd be like, what has happened? - This literally. is a "Black Mirror" episode. - Going on your Facebook? - And again, OP's words, my big issue is it's her formulating the prompt. So if she explains that I'm in the wrong, it's going. to agree without me having a chance. to explain things. It's very true. - [Person 1] Yeah. - Because yeah, ChatGPT, you can kind. of formulate it to be straight up anything. - Skewed, yeah. - I think it's wrong to use ChatGPT for a lot of things. Like I know a lot of people would use it for essays. and stuff at school, which is wrong. - Yeah. - But I also think it's wrong in this context. for a kind of different reason.

It just takes away the genuine nature of a discussion. - Yeah. - Yeah. - It means she can't communicate on her own. - Absolutely. - It's interesting. that you brought up the school system too. I just saw something, actually a teacher had posted, I think it might've been on Reddit, but she was saying, there's no stopping kids right now from using ChatGPT. So instead what she did was have students she assigned. have ChatGPT write up an essay, or some sort. of factual assignment. And then your job is to go back in.

and correct how many things were wrong. - Oh, that's cool. - And all of them ended up being like, oh, okay. I'm not gonna be using ChatGPT anymore. because there were that many mistakes. I know. - Innovative. - Right, LMFAO. - That's a smart way to use the system. - MVP VIP. (everyone laughing). - So the verdict was not the asshole. And I don't think he's the asshole at all. - Yeah. - No. - But what did the chat say? - She's using robots. - What did chat? - If you use robots to win any sort of argument, I mean, Skynet's around the corner.

Just go there. - My god. They tried that with "iRobot" and Will Smith. It's not a good movie. - Oh yeah, I remember that. - It's not a good movie. - I re-watched it. - Anymore. - Okay. Comments. Honestly, that's just ignorant, childish behavior. on her part. When she comes back with her ChatGPT nonsense, stop interacting with her, get up and walk away. Tell her when she actually. has something intellectually honest to share of her own, you'd be delighted to reengage. You have to be consistent. But eventually she will learn to be a functional adult, not the asshole. - Okay.

- I kind of agree, it's kind of insane behavior. - Yeah. - It's eight months in and if your first argument. someone did that, I'd be like, I don't think this is for me. - Yeah. - Yeah. - [Shane] I'm gonna call it, I'm gonna call this off. - I think that there is definitely leeway. to give people a chance to be like, okay, maybe you haven't had much experience. Maybe you don't know exactly how to engage in these kinds. of conversations with a partner. So I think I'd be able to give a little bit of a gap. of like, okay, how about we try it without electronics?

- You know what, let's kick the robot out of the room. - Yeah, yeah. And what do we think? - Can I say something stupid? - Yes. - Please. - Like they're having sex. and the dirty talk, he's just like, did you get this from ChatGPT? Like. - That would be insane. What would ChatGPT even say? - I don't know. - Oh, should we look it up right now? - You sexy dog. (Shane laughs). - ChatGPT's in the room you guys. - ChatGPT is 100 years old, I am done.

I'm dead. - You sexy dog. - This next comment sums it up pretty well. Calls you insecure, but can't form her own arguments. Yeah. And then lastly, someone said, show her how biased it is. to use the user's input. It's literally programmed. to tell you exactly what you want to hear. Discuss her actions with ChatGPT from your perspective, and it'll do the exact same thing to her. Show her how it's biased. and only serves as an artificial form of self-validation. - Yeah. - Not to mention just the ethical values of all of it.

Continuing to provide that kind of conversation to ChatGPT. is also just giving them so much data. - Yeah, that's true. - Yeah, I'm terrified of AI. - Yeah. - Yeah, me too. - And it's like, I think when, back in the nineties when I was a little kid, everyone was terrified of AI. It was like, dude, we can't let this happen. - Oh, really? - And it was more of a, oh yeah, dude. - Remember the movie? - You guys knew AI? - "Artificial Intelligence" with Haley Joel Osment? - No, I felt like in the nineties it was all. about how it was like, this is bad. and we should be very scared of this.

- Whoa. - And now we, it's so weird. to now be living in the sci-fi prediction. where everyone's like, yeah, actually it's good. and we're going to put it everywhere. and we're gonna give it art and emotions. It's like what we literally said, we would not do this. - Yeah. - Oh. - It's really scary. - Very scary. - And I understand, I mean this is getting very AI, this is getting very science fictiony in my head. But I love science fiction. Is like, I understand. that AI is at its current form, not a threat. It's like, oh, it's not a threat. It's not, it can't think for itself.

And it's like, yeah, sure it can't. But the problem is the second it can, it's too late. Then it's too late. You know? - You think so? - I'm scared Shane. - Yeah the second AI gets the ability, it's gone. and we are gone. Right? - No, I-- - It's so scary. - Don't be scared, but it's also just like--. - No AI will then grow exponentially. And it's like--. - Well yes-- - Whoa! - But that's not going to happen. - We're not careful, we will become ants. - Okay I can't, I can't. - That story was written by ChatGPT.

I'm just kidding. - WTF AI. - AI. All right, moving on. For the next story. - Goodness. - Ooh, this comes from relationship advice. My boyfriend, who's 34, has a sexual history. with my parents. A 49-year-old man and a 47-year-old woman. Can we still survive? - What? That's it, that's the whole story? - That's the craziest title I think we've come across. - That's the title. - My boyfriend has a sexual history with my parents.

Can we still survive? - At the same time you think? - Yeah, for sure. They went to like a restaurant. and they were like, we'll, take him. - You sexy dog. - You sexy dog. - Oh my god. - Are you okay? - No that's just crazy. - That is wild. - That's the craziest title. - [Emily] There's something we have to discuss. when we get to it. - Oh, there's something we have to discuss. I think we already have that. - Their ages. - Okay. - Read it to us. - Okay. Gross situation but both my parents have told me.

that it's not a big deal since we're all adults. Guys, we're all good. - What the hell? - We're all good dude. - What's happening here? - Oh, okay so it's good. - Oh, it's actually, it's good. My boyfriend, who we will call Sam, is a bit older than me. 34 versus me, a 23-year-old woman. And this has never been a problem before. We've been dating for over a year now, so things are pretty serious. However, when he came to meet my parents over dinner, hell broke loose. I thought everything was going fine at first.

I've had boyfriends who were shy around my parents before, they can be intimidating. But around an hour into our dinner, my mom pulled me aside. - Oof. - She explained to me that she. and my dad actually already knew my boyfriend. Obviously I was confused as they had appeared. to introduce themselves for the first time. not that long ago. My mom explained that 10 years ago, she and my father had taken part in a threesome with Sam, but it was all in past. I didn't wanna hear anymore, but she told me that they'd all slept together. a handful of times. - Oh my god.

- In retrospect, I didn't take this information well. and I left their house by foot. and ran until I was far enough away to call for an Uber. - Okay. - I've been home for a few hours now. Sam has called me literally hundreds of times. in the last few hours trying to talk, but I don't want to answer. The whole thing is making me feel sick. I have picked up a call from my parents who told me. to calm down and handle this situation like an adult. My mom called me immature for being so freaked out. by the thought of her and my dad having sex. And she said that if I'm going to be part.

of a grownup relationship, then I need to handle this type. of thing more appropriately. I see a future with Sam, but I never expected. that my parents would be a part of our history. I really do love him a lot. and I know it's not his fault that he chose to be involved. with my parents such a long time ago. Is there a chance our relationship could survive this? - There is not. - Wait, how cool is this? Wait, this is awesome. This is so cool. - What? - Mom and daughter, how awesome is that? - Only need to get one bed for the family vacation.

- Mom, we're so much alike. - Oh my god. - Mama, mommy. - Oh, well it's Friday. What did we say? - No, no, no. - You can't give us this story at the end of our shoot week. - Uh uh, uh. Sweet baby, honey. It's not working out with Sam. - Also daddy. - [Shane] Oh my god. - hat just hit me that it's mommy and daddy. - Mommy and daddy. - And Sammy. - At the same time. Mommy, daddy, Sammy. - Sammy, mommy and daddy. had a good time yeah. - I'm sorry. - [Amanda] 10 years ago.

- Oh my god. - No, no, no, no. - Love that. - Absolutely, I can't believe the mom even told her. - Whoa no, don't do this. - What? - It's good that the mom told her. - No, no, no it's good the mom, it's good that, okay, lemme take this back. - No, I would rather not know. - But like kind of. Okay. Can I say, I think it's crazy the mom told her. while they were still at dinner across the table. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. She's like, pumpkin pie's on its way. Hey honey, can I speak to you a second? So your father and I. - Can I speak to you in the kitchen,

I (bleeps) your boyfriend. But don't worry, so did your dad. - And your father. - And she goes, She goes one second and runs out the door. - And then she goes, "No!". - "Ah!". - She goes running. - It's just like, why are running? It's like my parents (bleeps) my boyfriend. Run! - Go away, go further. - Music playing, indie music. and then she goes, "Okay, I'm calling an Uber. I'm exhausted. It's been two minutes.".

- I just kept running. - Forest, go Forest. - (bleeps) Sierras and she's just still running. - That's when you use ChatGPT. - I think I would run forever. - Yeah. - You have a full beard by the end of it, the mom's like, "Stop this. Come back.". - Why how long have you been running? Well, 20 years ago, my parents told me something. that would change my life. - No! - Jesus! - Uh uh, sorry it's over. There's no chance. - What? I disagree completely. - You think--. - Just ask your mom what was it like?

Any tips? Just kidding. - Too many tips. - No! - Too many. - Stop that now. - Look, this is one of those situations. The boyfriend did nothing wrong. He had a threesome 10 years ago. - He has good taste. - [Emily] Multiple. - Sorry, they had multiple threesomes. - He had good taste. - [Shane] 10 years ago. - Multiple! - They can't multiple, they can't, that happened. That's fine. - He's like, you remind me of someone. - Fine, but had it been literally anyone else. that he had a threesome with, except.

for these two people, they could move on. - That's the universe. - This is, no, I'm sorry. - It's the universe being like, you guys are not a match. and this is how we're going to destroy it. - You know what? We're gonna move on from this one. - I mean--. - I'm not even talking about, okay, to be clear. to people listening and watching. I'm not talking about right or wrong. I'm talking about just like, nope, I'm out. - Exactly. - It's just a nope, I'm out situation. - Right, right. - Yeah because what if, what if it's like a year. down the line, it's Christmas. and we all know what happens during Christmas.

- What are you talking about? - It's Christmas, and the wife goes--. - Don't go there. Don't go there. - And the boyfriend goes (mumbles). and the mom goes, let's give a little (bleeps) job. for Christmas. - Why are they reindeer? - Zip, zip. - You don't remember the last time we did this? Remember the Christmas (bleeps) story? It's a callback. And she goes, oh, buy me purses. Guys, the mom is gonna be attracted to him.

and also the father. - No, that's, we don't know that. - Yes, we do. - Wait, they had a threesome. Do you know what happens in a threesome? The guys lock eyes and the--. - What! - What?. - What. What. I'm done explaining what a hookup looks like. Enough. Here's the deal. I don't think this can last. I wanted it to. - That's what I said. - You could have said that a while ago, Amanda.

- I wanted it to, but then I thought about Christmas time. and the holidays and then everything's gonna get messy. - Exactly. - It's so messy already. They're having sex and he calls her his dad's name. - Guys, there's an added element. There's an added element that we're not thinking about. - Sam's like Bill, I mean Amy. Amy, you're Amy. - Amy, sorry. No, that's your mom, shit. - There's an added element that makes this worse.

- What? - There's more? - [Amanda] A date? - There's some comments here. and this first comment, it had me thinking about, I was like, okay, the age gap, and then that made me, that something occurred to me. that they slept together 10 years ago and she's 23. She was 13. She was still living with her parents. when they were actively having threesomes with this guy. - They did it in the house? - I don't know, but no, I just mean like--. - (bleeps) hotel. - I just mean like, she was still like. - She was 13. - She was still under their care. She was a minor and under their care.

while they were going out and doing that threesome. - They can be parents. - The threesome is fine. - Yeah. - The threesome was fine. - Yeah. - They just had the threesome with this guy. And now he can't be the one who's. in a relationship with her now. - Yeah. - [Shane] All right, lemme read this comment. - Once you said she was 13, the whole story changed. - Okay let me read this comment. - Okay. - If I was in your shoes, knowing. that my boyfriend was (bleeps) my parents when I was 13. is a massive nope I'm out for me, I couldn't even imagine what's going. through your mind right now. I'm sorry you're going through this.

Yeah. - Okay. Well, they said it. - Yeah, that's what we were saying. - That's it. - So no, it's a no. - Someone else said, damn that is rough. If it were me, I would just sadly say it won't work out. with that person. I wouldn't be mad at your parents. They obviously couldn't have predicted that coincidence. - Right. - I would just say there are more fish in the sea. and the odds are most of them haven't had a threesome. with your parents. Seems like it would be very awkward. to continue that relationship. What if she just keeps finding guys. and they're like, I also had a threesome. - That's--. - And she finds out.

that her parents just ran through the town. - Well, bring out the key lime pie honey. Your boyfriend. - She's at the mall with her parents, and then every single guy in the mall is just like. - Eventually--. - Did you guys (bleeps) everyone in this town? - Eventually they're gonna need just a spreadsheet. of everybody that's in town so they can--. - They're going to Tinder and they're like, yep. - That one. No, not that. Oh, wait, yeah, that was nine years ago. - We had sex with him too. - I forgot that it was 10 years ago. That's a long time ago. - I know. This is a crazy coincidence.

This is like truly movie material. Like this would be hilarious. - Seriously yeah, it would be. - But they didn't forget Sam, you know what that means? - They didn't forget him. - He was memorable. - Good. Yeah. - Sexy dog. - Okay. What's crazy to me though is she runs for five minutes. or however long, calls an Uber comes home, immediately writes this Reddit post. - Yeah. - That's what she says. - That's her safe haven. - She got home and she's like, ChatGPT, what do I do?

- ChatGPT is like, you're (bleeps). - Last comment. Everyone in that room has been inside your mother. I am sorry, I'll see myself out. That's, what a Redditer there. - Why would she say something like that? - He tightened his fedora for that one. - Yeah. I feel better about myself listening to that. - I just wanna say that everyone was literally in your mom. - Jesus. I'll see myself out. - I'll see myself out. - God. - Oh God, we have to move on. - Is there an update? - No.

What's the update? - I don't know. - Maybe the parents got with Sam. - Yeah. - I got back home and they had sex again. - I found them naked at home. - Well, there's no update. That's such a bummer. - Yeah. That is WTF stamped on the planet. - Well, I wonder what she did. I doubt she probably, but then imagine going back, like you can't leave your parents. - No, you just leave Sam. - That's an absolute, you're never getting over that. - That's such a bummer. I'm so glad she told her because imagine if she waited.

and they got married and had kids. - Oh. - Yeah. - You're right. - It's overall, it's good she knows. - Yeah. - No, you're right. It's good. It is overall good she was informed like she knows this. - Yes, yes, of course. - Her mom did the right thing. - Yeah, it's just, yeah I don't know. if there's any other way about it. - Sam walks in and locks eyes with the dad. and they flash back to the night they locked eyes. over his mom. - Now I said it. Now you're saying it again. - Well, I'm picturing it again.

I'm a picturer. - Good. - Well, let's move on. so we can picture something else messed up. - I love that. - This next post comes from, am I the asshole? Am I the asshole for blowing up at my girlfriend. after therapy backfired? - Ooh. - We need more. - This is a 28-year-old man, my girlfriend Emma, who's 27, and I have been together for six years. For most of that time we've been happy, like really happy. The kind of relationship people say just works, you know? We were always on the same page, rarely fought.

and genuinely enjoyed each other's company, but over the past year, things started to feel different. Small arguments here and there, more miscommunication. and just this weird sense that we weren't. as in sync as we used to be. It wasn't anything major, just the usual wear and tear stuff. or, so I thought. Emma, however, seemed to be more concerned. She started pointing out issues I wasn't even aware of, like how I supposedly wasn't listening enough. or wasn't as emotionally available as I used to be. I admit I've been busy with work, but I thought we were doing okay. Still, I didn't wanna dismiss her feelings. Then about six months ago, she suggested we go.

to couples therapy. Now, I've always been a bit skeptical about therapy. unless things are really bad, but I agreed. because I figured it couldn't hurt. She said she found a great therapist through a friend. and we should give it a try. I wasn't familiar with this Lily, but Emma was excited about it. So we booked our first session. At first, the session seemed fine. Lily asked good questions, got us to open up. and gave us some tools to communicate better. I felt like I was doing my best to listen and improve, but something about it felt a little off.

Every time we talked about any issue, it seemed like Lily was always subtly siding with Emma. If I mentioned being stressed from work, she'd steer the conversation towards. how I wasn't giving enough attention to Emma. If I brought up a disagreement, somehow it became about my communication issues. After a few weeks, Emma started using phrases like, Lily thinks you should try this, or Lily says you need to work on that. It felt like everything I did was being scrutinized. and dissected by this woman I barely knew. I didn't wanna be paranoid, but it seemed like Lily was slowly convincing Emma.

that I was the problem in the relationship. and every time I tried to voice my own concerns, they were brushed aside. I tried to push through it thinking. maybe I was just being defensive, but it didn't stop. Every session, the same dynamic. It was like Lily was planting seeds of doubt in Emma's head. and Emma was running with them. I even started to wonder if maybe I was the problem, was I actually this bad of a partner. Things reached a boiling point a couple of weeks ago. During a session, Lily started suggesting. that maybe we should consider a break.

so I could work on myself more. That felt like a slap in the face. I'd been trying so hard to be better, and now she was suggesting we split up. I looked at Emma waiting for her to disagree or defend me, but she just sat there quietly nodding along. After that session, I couldn't hold it in anymore. I told her I didn't trust Lily's judgment, that it felt like she was just feeding Emma reasons. to blame me for everything wrong in the relationship. Emma got defensive saying I was overreacting, that Lily was just trying. to help us work through our issues. We didn't talk for a few days, and I started feeling guilty for snapping.

Maybe I was wrong, maybe therapy really was exposing. some flaws I needed to work on. But then something happened that blew everything wide open. Last week we went to a mutual friend's party. While there I overheard Emma. and her friend Sarah talking in the corner, giggling about something. I caught just a bit of their conversation. I can't believe you pulled this off for this long, poor guy still thinks she's an actual therapist. - I knew it, I knew it. - I immediately confronted them.

and that's when Emma's face turned pale. Sarah quickly tried to backtrack, but the truth spilled out. Turns out Lily isn't a licensed therapist at all. She's one of Emma's close friends from college. who thought it'd be fun to help Emma fix me. by posing as a therapist, Emma had set this whole thing up. because she thought I wouldn't agree to therapy otherwise. They figured that with Lily playing the part, they could guide me into becoming a better boyfriend. without me knowing. I felt completely betrayed. For months, I had been spilling my heart out to someone.

who wasn't even qualified to help, and Emma had been in on it the whole time. All those sessions where I felt attacked. and manipulated suddenly made sense. because I was being manipulated. When I confronted Emma about how messed up this was, she broke down saying she never meant to hurt me, and that she was just trying to help us grow as a couple. But honestly, I don't know how to move past this. I haven't been able to look at her the same since. Now Emma and her friends are saying I overreacted. that it was just a white lie meant to help our relationship, but I feel like I've been gaslit and lied to for months.

So am I the asshole for blowing up on my girlfriend. when I found out her therapist was a total fraud. - Nope. - Nope. Dump her ass. - Bye Emma. - That is shocking. - That is a violation of your (bleeps) privacy. First of all. I think this is unacceptable. There's no coming back from this. - Completely agree. - You're done. - It is truly (bleeps) up like that is inappropriate. - It's over. - I wonder. if anyone in the comments has any sort of legal expertise,

if he has legal precedent against this. - That's what I was wondering. - If think so. - There's stuff in writing that he can show she posed. as a therapist. Fully. - Well, also though, just because, well, because there's also the rules with confidentiality. as well, and if Lily is not actually a therapist. and she's going around speaking to her other friends. about this as well, that's definitely a case. - I mean, look, all in all, that's an immediate dumping. - This is awful. - Never talking to this person. - Oh my god. - This is very, very cruel.

- And to also then afterwards be like, it was a white lie. - That's not a (bleeps) white lie. - No. - This is crazy. - I thought you were gonna end it early too, and I was gonna, I feel like I was gonna be like, I feel like I'm predicting. that Lily isn't actually a therapist, and then it actually got there. - I wasn't sure, because I hear this a lot from friends to be like, I feel like my therapist always sides with blah, blah, blah. Like that is a known thing, but. - That's crazy. - That's (bleeps) insane.

- And also I just don't understand as well, if she was also hoping for Lily to say like, hey, suggest that we take a break or whatever, then she clearly isn't a part of this relationship anyway. She doesn't wanna be a part of it, so I don't understand why she's still fighting for it. - Also, it's so embarrassing. Like all of her friends now giggle and laugh behind his back. and know all of his really deep seated. and now he's never gonna (bleeps) go to therapy again. - Oh my god. - Yeah.

These are some sick people. - Yeah. - I mean, truly sick people. - Cruel is the right word. - Sick. - How could she sit in on those sessions. for months knowing that this is the case? Like, you're sitting there next. to your partner while they're spilling out. truly vulnerable stuff knowing you're manipulating them. and just completely going along with it. - And your buddy from college is on the other side. listening to this. - Being like, yeah we got him and he's totally gonna change. - Outrageous. - This is like horror movie level sinister. - Twisted. It's really torturous. - Also, did they rent an office?

Where did they do this? - Yeah, I don't like that at all. It just, it it not only like yeah, you're absolutely turning another person against therapy, but you're also just twisting somebody's trust forever. - Forever. - Like now, if a future partner is like, we should do couples therapy. Now, he's gonna have to be over her shoulder. and making sure that she's booking off. of like something online instead of being like, yes, find us someone or whatever. It's just, it's gonna change the course of his life. And that is so selfish to do. - Yeah.

The comments seem to answer my question. Not the asshole but what you should be doing. is consulting a lawyer, because Lily. was very likely practicing medicine without a license. Someone else said. - Facts. - I think you can actually take legal action. and you really should. That stranger was pretending. to be a licensed therapist, used it to extort information you would not share otherwise. and manipulated you with it. This has to be illegal on so many levels. besides, did they also have to pay for those sessions? - Oh, yeah. - Lastly, someone said, well, that relationship is over.

Of course, she and her friends are trying. to convince you that you're the problem. They lied and manipulated you into believing this woman. was a licensed therapist. Why are you even taking their opinion into account? Their view on the situation is obviously skewed. Dump her and cut your losses. What unhinged behavior. - Yeah. - Legit. - I can't believe I'm saying this. Like this relationship is even more over than Sam. and the parents with the threesome. - Yeah. - Oh, 100%. - It's actually insane to say, I don't know what's worse to go through. These are some horrendous situations. - The therapist stuff.

- I think the therapist stuff is somehow--. - Yeah. - [Shane] So much worse. - I;d be so happy that my mom had a good time. - You gotta stop that. It's like this 'cause this one was intentional. - And this one goes on for a long time. - Wait, how long? - They said months? - Yeah. They were doing sessions for months, right? - How could the friend literally do that? - I'm thinking about Emma. - The friend is not getting paid. They were doing this for (bleeps). shits and giggles. - For fun. Yeah, for fun.

But I really can't even get behind Emma's perspective. How can you call yourself a partner. and sit next to them? Exactly what you were saying, Shane, like. how can you put them in such a. almost embarrassing circumstance of like--. - And then laugh at it at a party while you're there? - They probably look so foolish sitting on the couch too. - This is evil behavior. - Yeah. - Yeah. I don't like it at all. - Evil behavior. - Nasty, nasty. - Oh my god. - Is there an update?

- No, but I'm assuming he probably broke up with her. I hope he took legal action. - I hope so too. - Because I think if, yeah, I'm sure there's enough proof. if like, they're going about it. I think if you are trying to manipulate. or change your partner, you need to decide, okay, either I'm not happy with who this person is, and I need to leave this relationship, or I need to accept them. because when you get to the point where you're trying. to change someone, you're in the wrong.

You're in the wrong 'cause it's just not how things work. - [Person 1] Yeah. - Oh my god. - That's so bad for OP too. Just the way that he's like writing about. how doubtful he felt of his own feelings of like, I felt guilty about this and--. - Yeah. - I wondered about that and it's like. - It's, they'd been in a relationship for six years. - That--. - I couldn't do this to anyone. - Right, let alone the person that you're supposed to love. - I couldn't do this to my enemy, to do this to someone. that is who you cherish most. - Right. - Oh my god.

- No, there's something, I truly think. she needs to go to therapy. - Yeah Emma--. - And also he now needs to go to therapy. - Yeah. - Right. - If he didn't before, he needs to now, because you need to unpack that. - Yeah. - In her mind, maybe she was thinking. again, maybe there's ways that I can just. tweak this man into the partner. that I want him to become. And so she sort of put this plan together. where she could make it happen. Where he didn't have to know, and maybe in her head she was rationalizing that.

and thinking that that would be okay. - Well, clearly if she and her friends all thought. this was fine, they all bounced off each other. and convinced themselves this was okay. - Right. - But they are, ugh. - Yikes. - Wow. Okay. Moving on from that. - Yeah. - WTF. - That is, that is WTF. Okay. Our next story, let's see if this can beat the others. - I, that was, that was really.

- Those were two. of the craziest stories I've ever read on this show, easily. - I've heard crazier, I think. - Okay. - From you, I think I've heard crazier. - Really okay. There's a 24-year-old woman, my boyfriend, who's 32, told me he was a doctor. I walked in on him behind the counter at Taco Bell. - Oh my god. - Hey. - Whoa. - They need medics there too. - After I eat 10 tacos there.

- Yeah, good night. - I need a doctor, by the way. - I need an enema. - [Amanda] Okay. - This taco is so good. Well, the guy who made it has a PhD in making tacos. (everyone laughs). That makes sense. Really good. - All right, let's hear it. - All right. I met him on an app three months ago. He said he was a doctor. and that he did his undergrad in biology. at an Ivy League school. Everything was going great. The sex was fantastic and he was very romantic, although he didn't like to spend a lot. of money on me.

Last night, I just happened. to walk into a Taco Bell. and saw him working there behind the counter. We looked at each other and I went up. and ordered without addressing him. Then I went home to process what I had seen. I tried calling him today, but he wouldn't answer. How could he lie to me like this? Do men do this often? I'm in absolute shock. Should I just forgive him for lying. and move on with the relationship or should I dump him? I'm not sure if I would've given him a chance. if I knew he worked at Taco Bell from the start, but I'm in love with him at this point. What do I do once I manage to talk to him again?

- Well, don't be a weirdo and order from him. and then pretend like nothing's happening. Like that's. Also, there's nothing wrong with working at Taco Bell. - Right. - But he did lie. - [Person 1] But he lied. - No, the lying is the problem here. - What did she order? - She had like tears streaming down her eyes. and she was like, crunch wrap supreme. - Yeah like. How did she do that? And then walked out and went, he went, here's your change. She went, thank you so much. You have a good day. You too. - And then ran and then went home. and typed on Reddit.

This is all of them. - Oh god. - Three months though and they're in love. - Why did you say he was a doctor though? - Why'd you--. - Come on. - Why'd you do that? - Because like, why'd you go, you go so intense. He's like, yeah, I got an undergrad in biology. at an Ivy League school. - Is he studying, trying to make money on the side? Because like, ain't nothing wrong with fast food. - He could be a student. We don't know. - Sure. - Well now the problem is we don't know anything about him. - [Person 1] Exactly. - That's the problem with lies. is then you don't know anything. - Yeah, that's true, that's true. - Could be a side hustle, night shifts.

- Yeah. - Been there. - He's saying he did his undergrad in biology. at an Ivy League school. He's saying, he has a lot of lies. - He's a doctor. - He's a doctor. - Damn, that's scary. - And the problem, also the problem. with lying is she's gonna find out eventually. - Yeah what? - Right, what was the long game? - How long were you gonna do this for? - I mean, maybe he was just kind of like, not thinking that far. He was kind of like, there's no way this is gonna last. And now he's like, well, shit I'm in love. and I work at Taco Bell.

- He's probably an incredible person. Just don't (bleeps) lie and say you're a doctor. Doctor's like, ah. - Well, and he really thought about that lie too. He was like, biology. - True, yeah. - At Ivy League. Like well done, well done. - (bleeps) himself, because if I'm in his position. Now, I think lying is bad. I wouldn't lie. But if you're gonna lie, be like, I'm the manager of a Taco Bell. And then she shows up and she's like, "Hey.". He is just like, "Hey, get back to work guys.".

- "Get back to work idiots.". - "What are you guys doing?". - Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll take your order because I know you. - Okay, I remember when I was here. - How do you work this cashier? - Mop up the floor (indistinct). - The name tag says like, bus boy. Little old one. - Not the manager. He's like, oh, that's a little joke we have. - "Mike, can you clean the toilets?". "I will because I can.". - Because I'm a team player. - Comments.

It is not normal for people to lie like this. It is especially not normal to start a relationship off. with such a big lie. Like others have said, who knows what else he has lied about. or is capable of lying about. I'm sorry, but I personally think it is best for you. to cut your losses now. For all you know, you are just in love. with a fake character he created to woo you. - Woo. - That. is true. That is now, no. - That's is the truth. - I think she's gotta address it though, to find out more. - Totally, but. - She had to get her food first. - Right, after she eats, she can talk about it.

- Someone said, I'm in love. Someone said, I'm in love at this point. No, you are not. You don't even know this man. The only thing you know for certain about him. is that he's a liar. You are infatuated with the idea. of the man you thought he was. Time to grow up and realize the difference. before you get really screwed over. Besides, I think he ghosted you. He probably did ghost. - Who is this person commenting? Like their mother. I'm done with this. - I mean, it's true. It's easy to fall in love with a doctor, but. - I don't think she fell in love with a doctor.

She said the sex was great and he was very romantic. - Yeah because he was a doctor. - I'll say this, man, I've had some Taco Bell tacos. and I've been in love with whoever made it. - Jesus Christ. - Not a few hours after. - Whoever made this, I love you. - But then later? - They're like, please keep moving along. - Oh, no, man. I'm still at the end of the drive through just eating it, looking at 'em. - Wow, thank you. - Thank you so much. - But then hard cut. - No, I sometimes will eat some Taco Bell tacos. and I'll go back through the drive through. just so that when I come back around, I'm saluting them.

(everyone laughing). - Thank you for your service, ma'am. He's like, okay. - He's like, it's three AM dude. - They're wearing doctor's coats inside Taco Bell now. - (bleeps) Christ. - Lastly, someone said, my ex said he was a financial planner, but turned out he was just a bank teller. Some people will embellish the heck outta their jobs, but straight up lying? - Okay, this is a little different. That example kind of didn't match. - He said the same thing twice. - Doctor, Taco Bell.

Not the same as. - What if his lie was like, he's like, "Oh yeah, I work at Taco Bell,". but it turns out he works at Dell Taco. And it's like, sorry, I can't. - Dude! - Donezo. - What if it was the other way around? - Loyal to Taco Bell. - He told her that he works at Taco Bell, but then she went to the hospital and he was a doctor. - Whoa! - Whoa! And he's like, "I just didn't want you to know.". (indistinct crosstalk). - He's operating on a patient and he's just like, "Oh, I gotta make this taco over here.". Beep beep! - He's like, "I was just so ashamed.

I didn't know to tell you.". - I didn't want you to know. - I save people for my job. I didn't want you to know. - Yeah. It's easy to fall in love with a guy. that works at Taco Bell. - Okay. Update. - Yes! - What you wanted. - What I wanted. - Okay. I spoke to him again last night in person. He told me that he had originally started his profile. as an experiment to see how putting a prestigious education. and profession would affect his success on the app.

- Get the (bleeps) outta here. - He says it helped a lot. He really has a liberal arts degree. from a less prestigious school. and has only ever worked fast food. He told me that his original intention was never. to actually date anyone while lying about his profession. He said that when I started talking to him on the app, he wanted to continue the experiment. just to see if he could actually convince me. to meet him in person, since other girls who had agreed. to meet him before when they knew his real job had flaked. Then when the date went well, he was afraid to tell me the truth. I told him that I forgive him, but I could not continue the relationship.

I said that we could be friends with benefits and he agreed. I think he was like--. - Sex was good, the sex was good. - He's like-- - Okay. - Yeah, the sex was him. - He's like (bleeps) all right, I guess. - Okay I'll continue to have sex with you, but nothing else. - But nothing else. (everyone laughing). He's like, damn this sucks. - God dang it. - She's like, can you bring me home. some tacos when you come home? - He's like, sorry, babe. We said, just sex. - Just sex. - Not part of the deal. - It's not part of the deal. - Oh, girly.

That better be the benefits. - Yeah. - Then we just hung out like usual. and I still ended up sleeping over. So at this point, we're no longer officially. in a relationship, but I will continue to see him. as a friend for now, as I consider looking for a new man. to date. I will now be more open to dating fast food workers. and other lower income men who are honest about their jobs. I'm not sure if this is the update anyone was hoping for, but it is what it is. So we're officially over, but not exactly. - I mean, that's great for her. - She wants to, dude, just let him in. Whatever.

- You think? Forgive him? - I don't know, I mean. - I don't, well, she forgave him. - Well, yeah, but you think just date him again? - She's basically dating him again. Come on guys. Be serious. - For sure. But no, no, no. I mean, I think she's doing that. 'cause she's like, well, I'm lonely. and now I'm no longer gonna consider you. as a lifelong partner, but I'm gonna have fun. - Now she's gonna date his coworker at Taco Bell. because she's considering other fast food workers. - She could, I think ultimately. that feels like a situation. that you should either completely walk away from.

or be like, I completely forgive you, and we can keep seeing each other. - Yeah, exactly. - That's, yeah. - It does kind of suck though, to put on your profile. where you work and people flake on you. That does suck. For sure. - Well, this is also, this speaks to, this is why I hated dating apps. They're just the worst. - They're the worst. - They make, they bring out the shallowness. and they boil us down to two dimensional beings. - Like resumes and how tall you are. - Because yeah. 'cause I mean, truthfully, here she was being like, probably gonna,

she says, I would've said no, had it listed that he worked at Taco Bell. - Yeah. - But then she met him and they had a strong connection. and stuff. But dating apps make you pass on people you probably. would actually have the best time with. - Yeah your job isn't everything, man. - No, it sucks. - And I think that that's a fair argument, but I don't think that it lends itself. to allow him to lie on his profile. - No, no, he lied. The problem is he still lied, and I think that's a deal breaker. - Yeah. - Absolutely. - Right. - This is, well, and once again, once again,

he lied a bunch, which means, it, we can't necessarily believe what he's saying now. of this experiment thing. - [Person 1] That's true. - Here's all these things that happened. It's like he proved he's a really good liar. and he lied about a bunch of details that were not true, so he could be doing it all over again. That's my issue with lying. It's just like, all right, it's done for me. because I can't trust you. - Once you can lie that big, then you can lie about anything. - It's just better not to, man. - It's impressive actually. - And it sucks. Look, 'cause I understand in regards.

to being on a dating app and having aspects of who you are, be you have to write it out and go, people. are not gonna pick me because of this. - Yeah. - And that sucks. - Yeah. - But you can't change that. You're gonna change that and it's just gonna. cause pain for you in the long run. You gotta kind of own it. 'cause then when you do hook, meet someone. and you're like, great, they are here. because of all the aspects of me. - Right, right. Eventually you want someone that's going to, you wouldn't want the person that's gonna flake on you.

to be your partner. - Right. - That's not the person for you. - Today's Reddit stories is brought to you by Zocdoc. Finding a doctor can often feel. like you're solving a puzzle.

It's a 29-year-old woman, my boyfriend, who's 28. of five years has become infatuated. with female Twitch streamers. and it's making me feel like crap. - Oh, oh, story feels familiar. - Okay. So I knew he was into video games when we started dating.

I'm basically the opposite of him in that department. I've never been interested in anything video game related. That entire nerd culture is not for me. Mind you, I have made an effort to understand his hobby. and over the years I've even found games I enjoy playing, but I would definitely not consider gaming. to be a hobby of mine. I played rhythm games like once a week for an hour. at most for example. In the beginning of the relationship, first couple years or so, it was pretty difficult. getting through to him because he was constantly. on "World of Warcraft". We had to set boundaries later on. because I found he wasn't making any time for me.

and he was constantly on Twitch, either watching or streaming himself. or playing "World of Warcraft" or "League of Legends". or whatever else. It got pretty bad, but we worked through it. His obsession with Twitch kind of dwindled down. and we were both seemingly happy. However, and I feel dirty even writing this, I feel worthless and absolutely disgusting and unwanted. Please don't judge me too harshly. One night before bed, as I was getting ready to lay down, he was watching a stream on his tablet. of some famous Twitch female streamer. I happened to glance over.

and she was pretty scantily clad, big nerd glasses, tits hanging out. I thought, whatever, it's just him watching a game. This went on for a few nights in a row. Each time it was a different girl. He'd watch for a bit, turned it off. and immediately want to have sex. I've secretly felt like shit over it, but I guess last night kind of broke the camel's back. He set up a stream, started coming onto me in bed. and left his tablet propped up on the night table. I was going along with his advances, but attempted to close the tablet when he told me, "No, leave it on. I wanna watch her while I do you.".

- No, no, no, no, no. - I was pretty much in shock, didn't know how to respond, started crying and left for the night. He didn't even really attempt to stop me. I got a half-ass sorry as I was leaving. - No. - Thankfully my parents live like five minutes away, so I spent the night there. Since I left, he's attempted to call twice. and has texted me twice. One text was to tell me I'm overreacting. - Oh! - Am I? How do I approach this? I thought we were over it. I thought we had a decent relationship, but he clearly prefers watching women play video games.

over just having sex with me. Do I approach him or wait for him to approach me? - Oh, ouch. - This sucks. - That is really, really painful. - That's a bummer. - Oh. - That's, for the record, I don't think that is overreacting. - No, it's not overreacting. - No, no. - [Shane] Not at all. - No. - I think that's so, so valid. and it's, honestly, I was with her even. with watching the streamers right before bed.

and it just being different female streamers. every single night and constantly I was like, okay, I am with you. I could definitely see where some of that comes from. and then just actually having it propped up. - And saying, he literally said it. - Don't put that down. - Yeah. - That's immediately crossing a line, and yeah. She left the room crying. and you're like, "Sorry.". - I don't even think he said sorry. - You're overreacting. - Yeah, you're overreacting. - I hate it, I hate it. I don't think--. - You should just be alone with his Twitch streamers.

- It's, yeah. There's a lot of elements here. I mean, yeah, he's watch, he literally says, I wanna watch another woman. - Exactly. - While I'm doing you. like, that's so mean to do to her. - That would make anybody feel like they're settling. - Yeah. And what he's also doing here, that's, there's another aspect of this is he's introducing something. to the bedroom without her consent. This is an element. There are couples out there who do watch things. while they have sex.

But you have to talk about that. Agree on it. - You have to talk about it. - Talk it well beforehand. - Not bring it in in the middle of it. - And say, "Don't touch that.". - And trick her into it. - And then when someone says, "No!". You go, stop. - No. - No. Yeah no. So. - It's, you're not communicating with your partner. what your needs are. Instead you're just kind of like completely zoning in. to an obsession. - Yeah. - What it seems like. Yeah. - This is just--. - I think this would make anyone feel bad about themselves.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Right. I mean, again, there's clear signs. as well in the way that she's writing. She's not paranoid. She's not panicking. She's just clearly laying out the signs. that this pattern is happening where he's clearly aroused. after watching these females. And he clearly has a type. because he is always been into gaming. So I think it's so natural. to initially draw some assumptions. and then for it to actually play out and get hurt. That exactly what you were predicting. and dreading happens right in front of you.

- Yeah. - That's gotta be so, so painful. - So uncomfortable. - This is brutal. Comments here. He wanted to watch the stream while you had sex. Oh (bleeps) no, just no. And he has the cheek to say that you're overreacting. I mean, if you wanna still be with him, then you need to be honest. Tell him it isn't acceptable. Don't let him convince you that it's no big deal. Someone else said, not only is it ridiculous. that he would ask that of you, but something I don't want you to overlook. is that he's trying to invalidate your feelings. and blow this over as soon as possible.

by telling you, you're overreacting. - Yep. - He knows he messed up. And his defense is to completely ignore the way you feel. and instead try and shift the focus on you. and your overreacting. That's bullshit. I think you should respond and just say you need some time. away from him to think. and take whatever time you need. But there are some crazy red flags coming up in this story. OP responds saying, "Yeah, last night kind. of solidified my not wanting to continue. with this relationship. I'll make an update post eventually. But we basically got together. and the whole time it was just him invalidating my feelings.

and defending himself. Not just about last night, but he brought up shit. I thought we were over from years ago.". - Oh. - "It's just not worth it at this point. I'm exhausted and I haven't really slept. Work is kicking my ass. Ugh.". Lastly, someone said, you're not worthless or disgusting. What your boyfriend did was extremely disrespectful. and you're right to be upset. Watching scantily clad girls is one thing. Plenty of people like to watch porn or other similar things. What he's doing is basically using your body while he thinks. of other people, which is pretty gross. Be firm with your boundaries. - So gross. - If he still brushes it off,

then you should probably get a better boyfriend. - Yeah. Goodbye. - Yeah. And to be-- - That's over. - They've been together for five years too, so he's clearly just like, yeah, using her. - So wait, they've been together five years. He's never done this before? - I don't think so. I think this is new, but--. - Text him. - Lemme text him. (everyone laughing). Well--. - We have him behind door number one. - We're gonna get some more info because we have an update. - Oh my god. - Last night I decided to get together for coffee with him.

Mostly because my mother urged me to, I never told her the extent of what exactly happened, but she knows it's video game related. because we've gone over this problem before in the past. Anyway, I initiated the conversation via text. and he agreed to meet me. I guess, I don't know what I was expecting. Closure maybe. Because I was pretty sure I wanted to end it. and stop trying to work things out. because I've been working things out. for the past five years. It's just become tiring. Anyway, he got into defense mode right away, basically listing all the things I've done wrong. in the relationship and why he's over me.

These are the things I've done wrong. I declined going to Korea last year for vacation. He so badly wanted to go. I knew if I went I'd be left alone every day. because his buddy would've come too. Also, there was a big "League of Legends" tournament. happening at the time. So he would've been doing "League of Legends" related things. and mentally masturbating to the cosplayers all the time. while I explored the city alone or hung out in a hotel. I said I wasn't interested in going. He got huffy but eventually got over it or so I thought. Two, I changed my appearance. even though I knew he liked women with long brown hair.

I decided to cut my hair fairly short. and bleach it blonde not too long ago. It was time for a change anyway, and I'm very happy with how it turned out, he was not. - Period, period. - Three, I always refuse to wear revealing clothing. He'd constantly badger me about. how I don't wear enough stuff. that shows off my tits and legs. I'm fairly modest. I'm not into that kind of stuff. I'm more comfortable in a T-shirt and jeans. He'd want me to wear sundresses and plunging tank tops. I always said no. - I hate--. - Plunging tank tops? - I hate him. - Four, my birthday gift this year was a pair.

of those giant wraparound headphones, headgear, I don't know what they're called. All the Twitch streamers are wearing them, but he spent a fairly good amount of money on them, which sounds sweet I guess. But I had originally complained. that my old headphones suck and I need new ones for the gym. He got me these bulky ones. and got upset that I don't wear them much. He's asked me in the past to wear them, put my hair in pigtails and wear revealing clothing. around the house while wearing my glasses. I'm not even kidding. This guy is a major stereotype. - Whoa. - Gross. - Five, I didn't play "League of Legends".

and I didn't enjoy sitting on the couch. watching him play hours of "League of Legends". I don't know how to play the game. I tried numerous times. I suck. I didn't enjoy myself. Why would I keep at it? Six, and I was not open-minded about anything. This is pertaining to the situation in the OP. I'm not open-minded enough about being his (indistinct). So this hurt his feelings too. I'm not accepting of his kinks, which is a total (bleeps) lie. because I've agreed to do some pretty out there stuff. in the past to appease him. I'm very open-minded about sex. I would've appreciated a forewarning about the Twitch girl.

joining us in the bed though. Seven, I don't get along with his friends. I tried so hard. I tried to relate to those guys like you wouldn't believe. But they all literally have zero social skills. They're awkward and blatantly ignored my existence. whenever I was around, they'd start talking. about things they're interested in and just disregard. anything I ever said. They'd invite him to board game nights asking. if I'd be going to like they don't want me there. I was pretty much an outcast. So no, I tried. They just didn't want me to be around. So in conclusion, I told him I was done.

He didn't really react dramatically. I think he's done with the relationship too. He can watch all the Twitch he wants now. and play "League of Legends" for 24 hours a day. That must be quite a relief. I'm going to the apartment to pick up whatever I can later. I'm staying with my parents until I find a new place. I feel oddly calm and okay with everything. that's gone down in these last couple days. This is almost a relief. Thanks everyone. - Wow. - So he was just objectifying the shit out of her. - Oh, 100%. - Oh my god. And again, just trying to craft her into.

what he wanted her to be. - Twitch streamer. Also, no one ever needs to sit on the couch. and watch you play a "League of Legends". - No. - Hello. - No. It's a real shame too. 'cause she really does sound like a really great partner. - Yeah. And he fumbled that. - Well, she'll find a better boyfriend. - Oh, she's gonna be absolutely fine. He, however, hasn't left his computer. - Oh, he's gonna be fine too. - He's gonna be just fine. He's not even there anymore. He's plugged in to another. - He's got his headphones. - He's plugged in like, meh. - He's like, great, I don't need you either.

- Yeah. - Wires coming out of every part of his body. He's like, I'm in the net now. - I am now free. I have no contact with humans anymore. - Oh god. Jesus. - God, I hate that. - Yeah, that sucks. - I hated that. - That was gross. - [Shane] That was pretty gross. - That was really gross. - Can you believe they were at a coffee shop. and he was saying these things out loud in a coffee shop, like thinking he's justified. He's there in front of other people probably being like, you wouldn't wear revealing clothing.

- Plunging tank tops. - You change your hair and you know I like long brown hair. - He took all that to ChatGPT and ChatGPT. laid out the 10 bullet points. - Dude. - [Amanda] Yeah, exactly. - [Person 1] He gave it back to her. - That was awful. - [Shane] Gross. - I hated that so much. - All right. - Wow, his friends probably sucked ass. - Yeah. - All right, buckle up. (people mimicking a rocket). - This comes from Am I the Asshole? And best of Redditer updates. So we're gonna get some--. - Whoa! - Am I the asshole, newlywed husband who's 32,

wanted to wait till marriage for sex. and just surprised me, 27-year-old woman with micro penis. on the honeymoon. So we only dated for six months. We've been engaged for another six. and just got married on Saturday. I literally just got back. from my honeymoon a couple hours ago. My husband isn't a religious guy. He just says he is old fashioned like that. We got close to fooling around a couple times, but it never went far. I tried, but he always stopped after it went too far. Anyway, fast forward to now, am I the asshole for reading into this. and being upset that I waited until my wedding night.

to find out that he probably isn't as old fashioned. as he says he is. I'm not going to shame him. And honestly, I don't even know how I'll broach the topic. and I'm not seeking advice. I honestly just acted like nothing was out of the ordinary. and went to town with him. But I don't know, I kind of feel lied to. Like a half truth or something was intentionally withheld. from me. It's tough because he's like, he withheld something. It's like, it's clear like he did this. for this reason. He's insecure.

- Yeah. - Yeah. - And it's like, you need to be up. It's similar, in ways, it's similar to me. as the Taco Bell thing of like, don't you wanna marry someone and know like that they--. - You have to be upfront. - You've talked about it all. - It's almost a little bit like he trapped her. just so like the smallest--. - Yeah. - Sorry, I didn't--. - I feel for this guy 'cause that's gotta be, he's gotta feel really insecure about it. - Yes. - Right. - Dude are very insecure about--. - Absolutely, so. - About their penises. - Penisi. - I, one of my favorite sub-Reddits is the sub-Reddit. for sex where people talk about sex stories.

or just they bring up dilemmas like this all the time. And the thing is, there's plenty of people--. - Love that. - There's plenty of people out there who don't care. And--. - Right. - How great would, I feel for this guy to meet someone. and know she doesn't give a shit. - Exactly. - [Shane] She's fine with this. - Don't lie man. - Because then it also has the added layer. of like, so you're not embracing it. - [Shane] Yeah. - If you're hiding it, you're also like, this is something that is bad. - It's not attractive. - And worth hiding. And it's like, no, just. be proud. - Work with what you've got.

- Exactly. - It's what you do with what you've got. - [Amanda] Exactly. - Yeah it's another one. Like she was gonna find out eventually. - Yeah. - Some comments, in both cases, if sex is important. to someone in a relationship, yeah. those are things that should have been discussed. before marriage. Someone else said communication is important. Possibly the most important, almost nothing else matters if you can't communicate openly. and honestly with your significant other. Okay OP commented, for all of you who keep asking, it's about an inch and a quarter. - I didn't ask. - I kind of feel bad there of like,

I mean it's all anonymous, but if you're not, sex, for some people, like obviously there's people. who are on the asexual spectrum. and that's part of sexuality. If you are someone who is not interested, you need. to talk about that 'cause and find that person. But if sex is an important part of your life, and it's important for your partner. and you agree oh, we're gonna have a sex life. If you're not going to have sex before marriage, then you need to talk about everything. - You need to talk about everything. And also like, dude, you also have to,

like you said, you have to be proud of what you have. so that you can meet someone who's like, yeah man, I'm in. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well 'cause that's a lot of the times. what people, that's the opposing side. People are like, no, I actually would like to find a partner. that I'm sexually compatible with. and then I can do a long-term commitment. Like sometimes even before somebody becomes boyfriend. and girlfriend, it's like that's an important aspect of it. So I completely agree. that if you're not gonna engage, at least in the physical aspects of it,

still communicating about it is just as important. - This has me thinking like they really did not. talk about sex at all. - Well they--. - Because they're not talking about what they're, and they would get, they would kind of fool around, but then they would get, he'd be like, ah, it's too far. - They've been together a year. - I know it's--. - Six months, right? - It's been a short amount of time. - Six months of dating maybe that's what it was. - Yeah. - Which also that's quick. - It is pretty quick. Update. He says it's only a matter of time.

before someone leaks his name. He saw the post through an old friend of his. who knew he had a micro penis. and saw on his Facebook that he had just gotten married. He doesn't know who else the guy has told to link him to it. I feel like I am the asshole. He's crushed that I posted about him, I confronted him last week about intentionally keeping this. from me and he said he was sure I would leave him. if I knew about the size prior to the wedding. and that he wanted to talk before the wedding, but feared it being called off. because of his micro penis and said. if both families found out slash gossiped about it, he would be crushed.

Which is basically what I did. with the entire world via Reddit. But he didn't know this until last night. because I never told him that I posted on Reddit. when we talked. The problem with his logic is like, oh, you would've left me. So now that we're married, you can't leave. - You can't leave me. You trapped her. - Nothing. But also nothing changes. Like when just when you get married you can still. - Yeah, you can leave. - [Shane] This is--. - But his logic--. - That type of logic, I've never understood that type of logic. Of like, I need to marry you so you can't leave. It's like, what?

- Divorce, hello. - What are you talking about. - Also you can divorce like immediately. It doesn't, but also-- - Annulment. - He didn't give her an opportunity to process it. He didn't even give her the chance. to make a decision on her own. That's what bothers me the most. - Yeah, no, no. - It's fine. Okay, you have a micro penis that, it sounds like he's dealing with that and that's hard, but it's like, dude, you've gotta (bleeps), what? You can tell her. - Yeah, what I got from all of that is that he like, his main worry inside of all of that became who else.

is gonna find out, that is his big insecurity. He clearly is so, so, so ashamed of this. So much so that he is lying about it until he gets married. He's stopping any sort of sexual activity before. Like just even again she was saying. that they would fool around but then he would stop. That means he would stop literally sooner than she would be. aware of what's going on down there for him. Like he is very clearly you're right.

Dealing with something. and I think that needs to be addressed on his part. But yes, his actions have thus affected. other people involved. Including trapping this woman. Which is like, yeah, you're insecure. and you're dealing with something. and we are empathetic of that. But now that it has affected this woman, it's crossing a line. - And look, physical insecurities are a rough thing, especially with things you can't change. But you can't let that, like, you can't let that dictate your whole behavior.

and let that insecurity fester within you. - And overshadow some life. And someone else's decisions. - Yeah, he needs to probably go to therapy and talk. about this and work through this and be okay with this. 'cause it's like, it's a reality. - Yeah. - And--. - Also maybe okay, maybe going to Reddit. wasn't the best idea. Sounds like. Maybe she should have talked to him, but they both. clearly just didn't talk to each other.

- [Shane] No. - Yeah. - No, I mean there's a lot. that seems off in this relationship, yeah. - [Person 1] Yeah. - That's tough. - I mean I think she was also probably scared, she was also just like, definitely maybe not. as feeling okay, I can't leave this man. 'cause like we've said, you can divorce. But I'm sure that she has also felt like, well now what am I supposed to do? I've made it this far kind of thing. Or I don't want to upset him because of this. But it just puts her in this tricky position of like--.

- Yeah, it makes her look like an asshole. - But the phrase-- - Yeah. - And that's kind of what's sketchy about this, is this was kind of manipulation. This was chess moves to put her in a place. where she can't leave. - Right. - And that to me is the problem here. We're not talking about a penis. We're talking about what he literally said to her was, if you'd known before you would've left. - Yeah. - So I did this so you wouldn't leave. That's not behavior of a couple who wants. to spend the rest of their life together.

- Yeah, yeah. - No. - Should be there for each other. - Because then you can replace the micro penis. with literally anything else. that you would consider a deal breaker. And it's still wrong to withhold that information. - Yep. - Yeah. - Anything that you're gonna reveal. after the marriage that you're like, you would have left if you had known. Completely flawed logic. - Yes. - Absolutely. - Yep. - Ugh. - Is there any more updates? - No. - What did she do? - That's tricky. - We dunno.

- That's tricky. - Text her, text her. - Oh, I'll text her. - I do acknowledge the like, again, it's gotta be especially challenging to feel, again, I think he feels alone. Like I think he definitely just feels he's not happy. with the cards that he was dealt and he's just kind of. trying to navigate and do what he thinks is best. It just, unfortunately you're right. It became manipulative. And so for that reason, it's like we're gearing more toward him being the asshole.

even though she is put in the position. of going to Reddit and coming out to be the asshole. - Yes. - If that makes sense. - Moving on to our last story here. Am I the asshole for marrying a man who proposed. to me while I was on the toilet? So he proposed to her while she was on the toilet. - Number one or number two? - Oh, we'll find out. It's not as bad as it sounds. My friends are just obsessed with that part. I think. Fake names. My, this is a 32-year-old woman.

My fiance Peter, who's 30, had arranged a candlelight dinner in a hotel room. There were flowers, rose petals and music. There was my favorite dinner and my favorite dessert. Peter was in a tuxedo. I was wearing a dress. That evening was so amazing. While I was eating, my IBS started to act up. I ran to the bathroom. It was mortifying, but at least I was comfortable enough. with Peter to allow him to come in. I was apologizing for ruining our evening. while I was on the toilet. And he said, it's okay. I felt like he wanted to ask me. to marry him the whole evening. I told him I love him, and he said, I love you too.

I told him, I'm sure you'll take care. of me in sickness and in health. That comment made Peter smile and he got down on one knee. - Oh. - I didn't care that this was the situation. I was so happy to say yes. I felt like he wouldn't have asked that evening. if I didn't say the in sickness and in health comment. I told my best friend, Kate, a 33-year-old woman. and another friend Bailey, who's 33. I told them the truth. Kate said, "It's weird, creepy. and an asshole move on his part.". I explained that he likely would've put it off. if I didn't mean the health comment. - Yeah whatever, she's jealous.

- Kate said I was desperate and that I should. have some respect for myself. Bailey said, if I thought Peter would ask another time, then I should have let him ask another time. Before talking to them. I thought I had the sweetest proposal story. Now I feel like an asshole who caused my amazing fiance. to have a terrible story. - Okay. - [Shane] Am I the asshole? - No. - No. - Your friends are the assholes. - They're the thing that's shitty. - Literally the only people that, the people who decide if a proposal story is romantic. are the people in the proposal story. - It's a privilege to get the story firsthand, ladies.

- Yeah. - Yeah, bro. - Listen, she had IBS. She (bleeps) had to go. And he loves her so much that he was like, I'm gonna propose to you because this doesn't bother me. - Yeah. - It's also if you're her friends. and she tells you that story and you think it's weird. They've already, it's already happened. - It's done. - [Shane] It's done. - Shut up. - It doesn't matter what you're--. - [Amanda] Stop talking. - You say that's awesome. - Yeah. - If you think it's weird-- - Good for you. - Who cares, it's done. - And also it is cute. - It's super cute.

- It's so cute. She was shitting and he asked her. - It's so cute. - There's no trial. Like he's literally there in love with her. while she's shitting her brains out. - It doesn't get better. - They're sealed. - He's in a tux. - They don't need--. - She's in a dress. - They don't need the ceremony. - The dress is getting wet. with the toilet water behind her. - There is no ceremony that's gonna lock you together. - Beautiful. - The amount of roses. that got just destroyed for that night. - God. And the food was getting cold. It's beautiful. - It's gorgeous.

And dessert was served at the same time as dinner probably. - God. And the waiter was like, the waiter was like, where are they? - The waiter wasn't there 'cause the food's been. sitting for hours. - He was like, will you marry me? And she went (blows raspberry). - And he said, is that a yes? - Is that a yes? Comments, a verdict was not the asshole. - Yeah, of course. - There was an asshole. - Yes. Comments, this is the cutest story. Your friends are actually just jealous. because they don't have someone who loves them. and will put up with their shit. - Wow. - [Shane] Whoa!

- Whoa. - He's an absolute keeper OP, congratulations on your engagement. Not the asshole. OP responded. The cutest story, wow. I don't know what to say. Thank you so much. - Aw. - Someone else said, who cares what they think. It's what you think. If you said yes and found it heartwarming, then there's your answer. Lastly, someone said, it actually is very sweet. Your friends are the assholes though. He was showing you that you were safe with him. In a moment you were likely embarrassed and very vulnerable. to propose. It is incredibly sweet and funny at the same time. No one will ever have a story like this. And it is the type of relationship people should strive.

to have not tear down. Congratulations. - So true. - What if she meets other people and they're like, oh, Dave proposed to me while I was shitting too. And it's just like everybody has that story. - She's like (bleeps). - And then someone's like, and I (bleeps) your parents. (everyone laughs). - And then she runs out. (everyone screaming). Dress and all, why. - But you know what, it's actually so perfect though. because it is picture perfect because he was in the tux. and she was in the dress and all of the romance stuff. is outside. But then you get the grounded realness. of what an actual partnership is like.

- Yeah. - Those are the best proposals. I personally think the proposals that are so. perfectly set up and everyone's there. - Fireworks and everything. - It's like, no, the proposal should be between you. and your partner. And it's just like, the better, the funnier the story, the better. - Right, right. As, no, I think you said it best Shane. As long as the two people involved are like, I am. so psyched about how that proposal went. - That's all that matters. - Who cares? - That's all that matters. - You could hear the weirdest proposal story, but if at the end of it, the person's like,

and I'm couldn't be happier. It's like, well then that was a successful proposal. - And great and we're happy and we support you. - That's all that matters. - It's nice when you're doing it without people there. - 'Cause then you don't have opinions to mess with, judgment, all of that stuff. - It's, yeah. - Shitty friends. - Shitty friends. - Well this was a rollercoaster. - Holy god. - WTF. - WTF. - LMFAO. - LMFAO. - I'm very curious. Let us know in the comments. what you think was the biggest WTF. - The parents. - The parents.

- That was not the biggest WTF. - The threesome parents was, there's ChatGPT. There's threesome parents. There's fake therapist. - Fake therapist. - Fake therapist. was the biggest WTF for me. - Fake therapist. makes me the angriest. - That was pretty crazy. - Fake therapist (indistinct). - There was doctor who works at Taco Bell. - Oh. Ultimately harmless. - [Amanda] Ultimately so harmless. - There's the Twitch streamer boyfriend. - Oh, not harmless. - Gross. - But not as big WTF. as therapist. - Threesome. Threesome and therapist I think. I'm still, you know, have to combine those stories.

- I think the fake therapist and parents threesome--. - Forgot about micro penis. - And micro penis. Thank you guys for watching. Thank you for being here. Thank you for going through this. - Thank you. - Thank you. - This was a lot. - Thank you. Yeah comment down below if we should sit in Shane's chair. and he should lay on the couch. - Comment down below how many tissues you think. are crumpled up right here. - Oh my god, gross. All right, thank you guys for watching. Let us know what you think the biggest WTF moments were. and let us know what other themes and subReddits. you wanna see on this show. And we'll see you next Saturday.

Goodbye. - Bye. - Get your pancakes out. - Get your pancakes out. - What does that mean?
