Because the documents were her responsibility. In the company’s eyes without evidence that her husband threw out the documents, the wife lost them.
It's way too obvious that Preston was trying to sabotage Janet so he could force her to quit her job or be fired. The divorce was also a way to try and control her because he ridiculously thought he was such a prize she would not be able to make it without him and come groveling back.

Watch for patterns of behavior. How does he handle stress? Does he become aggressive if things don’t go his way? Does he lie? Does he except criticism and take responsibility for his actions or does he blame other people for his mistakes. Does he get upset if you choose to spend an evening with friends and tell you stop seeing them? Keep these things in mind. If a man lies to you before marriage, he will lie to you after. If he can’t handle a minimum stress without yelling or take responsibility for his actions (not just saying sorry) and work to correct his mistakes? Drop him like a rock. It won’t get better after marriage. No one is perfect and everyone has idiosyncrasies, but if you notice these patterns of behavior, definitely rethink the relationship. Honestly, my ex turned abusive after more than a decade of marriage. He got into drugs and fantasied himself a gang leader and drug runner. He wasn’t. But if I’m really honest, the signs were already there that it could happen. But I didn’t know then what I know now. Watch for ANY manipulation. If you have a close, trusted friend who really has your best interest at heart and they tell you “something off about him”, listen and re-evaluate. Take a step back and really look at the relationship. Manipulative people are consummate actors, but there are signs that they can’t hide. I truly wish all the best for you. I pray you find someone worthy of your affections. I’ve been married to my 2nd husband over 15 years now. He’s a wonderful man and I am very blessed to have him. Take care.

I don’t. I just misplace them. Then they turn up in the oddest places so I put them elsewhere and forget where they are again. Thankfully they only contain various stories.
Nah it's abuser tactic. Be all lovind and supporting until marriage. Then say his salary is enough and she could just be housewife. Once that happens, take all finances under full control and give your wife nothing. Easier trap if you get her pregnant asap. They cannot reveal the cards until victim is on the hook. They also seriously believe they are so amazing that woman crawls back.
@@Xerame506 good to hear you got out. I hope life is well. It's sad people don't realise controlling abusive monsters exist. And they cannot be recognized by their looks. They are often charming and people person. That's why they play their game so well. Of course there was laws back in the day that women could not work once they got married, mostly it was gotten rid of in 50s but countries like Ireland had it until 70s. (Not sure was this all work or just public sector) teachers were out of this law in Ireland because it got to the point the had no teachers because of the law. But that's not the case here.
What a bastard, huh. And the ego, thinking that his ex wouldn't move on after 3 years. Second rule of divorce. Never assume the other person's life is dependent on you. Odds are that they WILL have found a way to move from you within the first year of separation. They will have moved on so you should too.
@@fablethewolf825 Rule number 1. Divorce is a tool for ending a bad marriage, not a bluff for threatening your spouse. If you bring up divorce you better be willing and able to go through with it.
My ex did this exact same thing made me feel like i was nothing without him but how wrong he was i have gone back to school and started my degree in law
And he would still have both of them if he wasn't such a d-bag, but some people value their egos as well as their control on others more than their livelihoods
@@delledaye2035 in real life you can’t. Divorces in real life take months if there are no issues if not years when there are disputes. That’s why it’s so funny that characters can just ‘get’ a divorce.
In Cook County, IL. you can. In Chicago, downtown. From Feb. 2010 to Mar 2010, the ex wanted the divorce, since he had a new 'best frey-end' (fem co-worker) he wanted to be free with, so he got the paperwork, sat down with me in public and had me sign them, and then filed and paid for them (becuz I wasn't doing it), and then later we appeared, waived the 2-yr wtg period, and then 28 days later, it finalized. I was free from his ass by 2 wks after Easter. See, quicker than making yogurt donuts in a deep fryer. No regrets, btw, becuz just like a radio station... F. M.
Getting divorce papers is fairly easy. I could be wrong but I believe you can download them off the internet. Now actually getting divorced takes at least a year if things go smoothly.
He's a bastard who now fucked up his own life due to his arrogance. Isn't it wonderful when pride just steamrolls some poor bastard's life due to his own fuckups?
Haven't even gotten half way through and he'd get a beat down and divorced. Those locks would all be changed. My office would have a password lock on it too. And I'm white so I see nothing abnormal with any race being upset by this. I'd probably set something he loves on fire a suit, console, etc. Or pawn it to get money back for the new locks.
I haven't watched te full thing yet, but i bet the husband threw all the work of the wife "cause his masculinity was hurt by his wife not being dependent of him
Actually, I think that was the ex-wife’s plan the whole time. She knew her ex would freak out and try to save himself. He basically fell into a deep hole, begged her for a ladder only for her to toss him a frayed rope which he hung himself with.
“You’re my EX-Husband. I don’t have to tell you anything!” Janet is right on all accounts. She and Preston are DIVORCED. Why should she have to tell him anything? Also, what era is this? I’m PRETTY sure there are A LOT of women would rather pursue a career rather than be someone’s live-in maid. “It’s just like a working woman to talk to a man like this.” Aaaaaannnndddd, it’s just the world’s biggest narcissistic, condescending prick to talk down to a perfectly good woman. It’s guys like Preston that make me wanna stay single. “It’s every woman’s dream to become her husband’s housewife” Says who? I’m not looking to get hitched just to be someone’s unpaid housekeeper. Also, I think Janet here dodged a bullet. Her Ex, knowing she could get in trouble (and possibly fired), deliberately threw out all her work documents. DIVORCES her to teach her a lesson? Dude, listening to Preston’s logic, I was really trying to not roll my eyes. Then, a few years after everything happens, the Ex learns she’s married, still expects her to GET BACK TO TOGETHER with HIM!? The absolute audacity.
The fact that these stories consistently use British English phrases is one of the reasons I’m convinced that they’re not from America, even when they pretend to be by referencing locations in the US. My best guess is that they’re from a developing country where English is common. Which technically means it’s not *British* English, but it has more in common with British English than with American English.
@@fallfestivities486 it doesn't mean you have not to take care of your husband It's would always be the priority if you love the person,it's the same as taking care of parents if they are sick but more We work, because it's our way of helping each other. So it's only to help each other or take care of each other in marriage as priority we work
My fiancee is about 10 feet away from me playing finaly fantasy. im sitting here on my computer listening to this while i play some yugioh. we got to the part where they say "its every woman's dream to become a housewife." midgame she yelled "THE HELL IT IS!" Love this woman so much. we both have an at home job with no intent on ever having kids. and gotta say, we've been moved in together for a year and our wedding is in a couple months. trial period is over and we can say full well we want THIS life for the rest of our lives. Housewife? whatever kind of relationship this guy wanted? Nah not us chief
Janet did a good job of gaslighting him when he called her graciously offering to take her back. The real question is what has Preston been doing for the last 3 years as far as housework, cooking etc .. goes? Realistically he would have found someone younger by then. Of course fewer younger women want to just be housewives these days.
Re-watching this story for the second time in less than a day. (Only discovered this channel last night and this was the reason I subscribed!) Complete schadenfreude joy!
New drinking game... Take a shot everytime.. Someone "texts" umm or huh. Every time they call a lease agreement a contract. Every time the protagonist continues the chat when a normal person would just say "whatever" and block the number. Every time the person claims they will get compensation from an affair partner. Everytime a person has to move in with their body agents and is forced to work in a family business. I would add more but you're already at risk for alcohol poisoning as it is.
When calling someone who works from home a 'jobless bum' then being surprised that person actually makes a lot of money. Bonus shot if they own the house they were getting kicked out of. When the antagonist character gets surprised that the person they think will wait for them for years actually moved on with their life and got married. "Stop acting so tough"
These stories are so satisfying. I love the justice at the end. When I get fed up with Reddit stories and Entitled People/Karen stories, I like the Apple Texts to make me feel good about life again. Thanks!
I do not get the idea that a woman should be or automatically wants to be a housewife after they marry. I'm not critisizing those women who actually do that voluntarily, but this idea it's the norm is just bizarre to me. I have a really, really hard time believing that most women would want to be stuck at home doing mindless housework all day, when they could be pursuing careers of their own that would not only challenge them and make use of their educations and talents, but keep them socially active AND not least of all, earning money for the household. Then again, where I'm from, housewives are quite rare from what I've seen.
Work is hard but I do like my job. Just staying at home is just so isolating. It's hard to make friends as an adult, at least give me co workers I can chat with. Plus making my own money I can use how I want is great. Personally, would choose job over housewife every time.
I actually worked and lived 90 miles from home for a job. I tried to get home on weekends and a day or two during the week, if possible. My husband was fine with it. We survived and still loved each other. We lasted 44.5 years until he died. Miss him.
@@dragoncat5767 He was a worker. The first time I saw him, I knew he was a "hick" farmer. And, I was right. Within 2 years of marriage, we moved to MO from Chicago for him to work on a farm. He worked there for years, plus also did several years as a school bus driver (25) - which he also loved. From him, I have learned to tell people to find something to like about every place you work. Because, if you don't, you are the one who will suffer. I don't believe is suffering unnecessarily. I even worked as a clerk in a maximum security facility for the insane. I really enjoyed that. And the inmates loved me too, as I would stand at the half door and talk to them when my work gave me breaks. I have very many reasons to hate retirement. But the most is that I don't have nearly enough people to talk to. Ha Ha
The cleaning of the office kind of sounds like my husband a tiny bit. I have OCD and always have a particular way I organize my craft room. He offered to put a few things away for me and later when I went upstairs I see all my stuff stacked in the doorway of my room. Close, but not quite lol. I’m still glad he tried, he’s probably scared he’ll disappear in my room(I have a TON of craft stuff).
How dare he?! That's a jerk move! He knew she needed that for work! If he doesn't find working women attractive, why did he marry her? People who hide who they are until they get married are terrifying. that's not right. he can't still love her because she is a working woman, and he doesn't find them attractive.
Ah, Karma. Really though, even without a supernatural force working to balance the scales, we cause the vast majority of our own problems. And who the heck throws out documents without asking? Serves him right and more than right. Gonna be real tough for him to get a decent job now. The only thing that might save him is you're not allowed to say 'bad things' about a former employee if called for a reference, but I can tell you true, there are ways to do that without actually doing it.
This is why healthy communication is important. If you want your future wife to be a housewife you should have that conversation before the marriage. If you hate motorcycles and expect your boyfriend to get rid of the bike after the marriage, you should talk about that before hand. That way people can make informed decisions on future plans. Like if you consider something an absolute no deal for fiancee then that should be handled really early on. Better to split on amicable terms than to take it into a marriage and have avoidable fallout
preston can't stand the fact that janet is a working wife and want her to be housewife and try to get her fired but no preston face serious karma and janet remarried and live in best life!!!
Real love doesn’t purposely set out hurt someone in an effort to manipulate them. Real love doesn’t manipulate, period. I’m getting real tired of the ubiquitous question, “what are you talking about?” It’s in every video. Multiple times.
Seriously, why do some people not say what they want from a marriage before they propose or accept one, let alone before they get married? Putting Preston on the back burner for a minute, work, finances, children, living arrangements and pets should be discussed well in advance of getting hitched. If for example, I wanted to be a stay at home dad, doing the childcare and housework, living in a suburban town/city with two cats I would need to make sure that girlfriend/future wife actually wanted that as well, it would be stupid to drop that a day or months into a marriage if she was child-free, wanted us to both work so we could retire early with her wanting us to rent to save money and her having a car fur allergy. Preston is a narcissist ass. He knew exactly want kind of problems would be caused by throwing out those documents and USB drives would cause. Instead of talking to his wife, he chose to sabotage her and hope it was enough to get his way, and when that didn't work he divorced her as a "lesson", with the expectation she would take any terms he laid out. "Too bad" it completely tanked him and set her up for better things.
Yup and let's be glad most narasist aren't the super villain, master mind manipulate types. Their just udota who think things will go there way cause their them. That must mean things will work out of they think on their heads.
Karma’s like a boomerang. I don’t think this Preston dude knows how boomerangs work, I feel sad the he never had the father to teach him how to throw properly. At least he knows how to throw his life.
In other words after he sabotaged her work in order to "put her in place" and divorce her he couldn't find a younger woman to be his housewife as he orginally wanted and coming crawling back to her. Oh dear.... .
lolololol One of my friends went through something slightly similar like this. The only difference she was not married to her ex only dating and she is dating a childhood friend of hers now. :)
@@patrikbengtsson3883 I don't know him personally TBH but from what I gathered from gossip. His Uncle and Father had a chat with him, so to speak. Also he married a lady picked by his parents according to gossip. So everyone is moving on with their lives I guess. I'm just happy my friend met someone who cares about her the same way she does.
I ain't never gonna be a stay at home wife, I'd get way to bored and I'd end up arranging each room into a maze just for shit and giggles and watch as my spouse tries to navigate my craziness
Mistake number 1: Tossing out her paperwork and USB sticks (no brainer!). Mistake number 2: Divorcing her as a form of punishment- C'mon, really? That always backfires in these stories! Mistake number 3: Waiting 3 years to see if she had 'cooled off' yet. No, she's just letting life bite you in the butt. Mistake number 4: Stalking the new hubby...see other three mistakes. A sane man would have cut his losses and run before getting to this point...
So his mum became a housewife upon marriage. How long ago was that? Did he go back in time to the sixties or seventies where women were not even ALLOWED to work? What era is he living in? No sane woman would automatically wanna be a housewife unless she really liked it or needed it. Being a housewife is hard work. And you rely on the pittance that your husband gives you per month. You actually put yourself at a disadvantage by being a housewife. At least a job will keep you occupied while getting paid. If by some circumstance, the wife is incapacitated in any way, and the husband bails, how the hell is she gonna support herself then? Don't ever rely on a man to support you, ladies. Take care of yourself first.
I have a special hared for men that persue carreer women and then want them to change into a house wife. There are plenty of women that would want nothing more than to be a stay at home Mum/wife but they think those women are beneath them and need to conquer a career woman. makes me so mad.
He didnt really jump to conclusions did he though she told him he was going to probably get laid off but for him to go to the husband's workplace is just wow
This is so funny. Preston messed up this wife's work and let her go. Then the man who helps her and ends up as his new boss. He just wanted her to be dependent on him but I bet his didn't make enough money for that. That's why he was acting out.
I honestly don't understand how these men (and I know men like this actually exist) are such a good 10/10 catch that women would instantly apologize and start crying and begging to be given another chance after being treated worse than trash.
Don't marry people if you're using the concept of divorce as a tool just to punish them. Divorces aren't a weapon just to get what you want. A marriage should be a partnership between two people. 🧐🤷⁉️🤔🤦
I don't know. Would he be that willing to toss out the wife if he didn't have anyone else lined up? Also, note how quickly he went for the "you must have cheated on me" angle. Cheaters do that.
@@YourXavier good point. But usually the cheating bit is revealed at the end in almost all stories so... Meh, let's just give it to the benefit of the doubt.

He's just now bringing up that he doesn't want her to work? Isn't that something you should discuss before your get married?
Nah it's abuser tactic. Be all lovind and supporting until marriage. Then say his salary is enough and she could just be housewife. Once that happens, take all finances under full control and give your wife nothing. Easier trap if you get her pregnant asap.
They cannot reveal the cards until victim is on the hook.
They also seriously believe they are so amazing that woman crawls back.

It's sad people don't realise controlling abusive monsters exist. And they cannot be recognized by their looks. They are often charming and people person. That's why they play their game so well.
Of course there was laws back in the day that women could not work once they got married, mostly it was gotten rid of in 50s but countries like Ireland had it until 70s.
(Not sure was this all work or just public sector) teachers were out of this law in Ireland because it got to the point the had no teachers because of the law.
But that's not the case here.

Well wanting to work dosnent mean you have to be unmarried
What a bastard, huh. And the ego, thinking that his ex wouldn't move on after 3 years. Second rule of divorce. Never assume the other person's life is dependent on you. Odds are that they WILL have found a way to move from you within the first year of separation. They will have moved on so you should too.
Second rule? What’s the first?
@@fablethewolf825 Rule number 1. Divorce is a tool for ending a bad marriage, not a bluff for threatening your spouse. If you bring up divorce you better be willing and able to go through with it.

I love how easy it is for the characters on this story to just ‘get’ divorce papers 😂
Exactly
I didn't know you could just get them that easily either 🤔
@@delledaye2035 in real life you can’t. Divorces in real life take months if there are no issues if not years when there are disputes. That’s why it’s so funny that characters can just ‘get’ a divorce.
In Cook County, IL. you can. In Chicago, downtown. From Feb. 2010 to Mar 2010, the ex wanted the divorce, since he had a new 'best frey-end' (fem co-worker) he wanted to be free with, so he got the paperwork, sat down with me in public and had me sign them, and then filed and paid for them (becuz I wasn't doing it), and then later we appeared, waived the 2-yr wtg period, and then 28 days later, it finalized. I was free from his ass by 2 wks after Easter.
See, quicker than making yogurt donuts in a deep fryer.
No regrets, btw, becuz just like a radio station... F. M.
Getting divorce papers is fairly easy. I could be wrong but I believe you can download them off the internet.
Now actually getting divorced takes at least a year if things go smoothly.
Oh god Preston is such a jerk. I'm happy for Janet tho, as she said "karma comes back around to you" and that was sweet! 😂

Janet is a strong woman because any man who did that in the black household would have been cussed out by everyone or beat to a pulp.
And I’d have popcorn, watching avidly and cheering.
You got that right! Not only I would cuss him out, he would got Molly whomp upside the head too!

@@beverlyarcher3744 are you serious right now? Wow. No really wow.
Haven't even gotten half way through and he'd get a beat down and divorced. Those locks would all be changed. My office would have a password lock on it too. And I'm white so I see nothing abnormal with any race being upset by this. I'd probably set something he loves on fire a suit, console, etc. Or pawn it to get money back for the new locks.
I haven't watched te full thing yet, but i bet the husband threw all the work of the wife "cause his masculinity was hurt by his wife not being dependent of him
On the dot he knew what it was and threw it out delibretly
Got it in one.
Spot on.
XD
If he hadn't called her after three years, he wouldn't have sabotaged himself and get fired in the process.
Unlucky timing! LOL 😂😂😂😂
Actually, I think that was the ex-wife’s plan the whole time. She knew her ex would freak out and try to save himself. He basically fell into a deep hole, begged her for a ladder only for her to toss him a frayed rope which he hung himself with.
Makes me enjoy that age old saying.
"One man's trash is another man's treasure"
Damn, Preston. Egotesticle man.
“You’re my EX-Husband. I don’t have to tell you anything!”
Janet is right on all accounts. She and Preston are DIVORCED. Why should she have to tell him anything? Also, what era is this? I’m PRETTY sure there are A LOT of women would rather pursue a career rather than be someone’s live-in maid.
“It’s just like a working woman to talk to a man like this.”
Aaaaaannnndddd, it’s just the world’s biggest narcissistic, condescending prick to talk down to a perfectly good woman. It’s guys like Preston that make me wanna stay single.
“It’s every woman’s dream to become her husband’s housewife”
Says who? I’m not looking to get hitched just to be someone’s unpaid housekeeper.
Also, I think Janet here dodged a bullet. Her Ex, knowing she could get in trouble (and possibly fired), deliberately threw out all her work documents. DIVORCES her to teach her a lesson? Dude, listening to Preston’s logic, I was really trying to not roll my eyes. Then, a few years after everything happens, the Ex learns she’s married, still expects her to GET BACK TO TOGETHER with HIM!? The absolute audacity.
Saying "I went to university" is such a British sentence
I say it when I want to feel fancy 👔🥃😂
XD
It's what we say in Australia.
@@09Calpurnia Australia is British Texas
The fact that these stories consistently use British English phrases is one of the reasons I’m convinced that they’re not from America, even when they pretend to be by referencing locations in the US. My best guess is that they’re from a developing country where English is common. Which technically means it’s not *British* English, but it has more in common with British English than with American English.
,, that’s what my mom did, too.‘‘
Honey you aren’t his wife you are his mom replacement.
Oh, Preston! You got it wrong, you weren't throwing her away, you were throwing yourself away! Lol!
I have never meet a woman who wanted stay home and be a housewife🤦🏻♀️! Ok, I would rather divorce his behind.
That's only American women, most others all about that traditional family.
The thing is, everyone has their own personal choice,so whether a woman wants to work or to stay at home
It's their choice

Great as always. Love these videos. Also like that karma is more of a direct result of actions/choices than divine retribution or reward.
Love these videos. Just recently found this channel :)
Greetings from germany!!!
Janet did a good job of gaslighting him when he called her graciously offering to take her back.
The real question is what has Preston been doing for the last 3 years as far as housework, cooking etc .. goes? Realistically he would have found someone younger by then. Of course fewer younger women want to just be housewives these days.
Re-watching this story for the second time in less than a day. (Only discovered this channel last night and this was the reason I subscribed!) Complete schadenfreude joy!
New drinking game...
Take a shot everytime..
Someone "texts" umm or huh.
Every time they call a lease agreement a contract.
Every time the protagonist continues the chat when a normal person would just say "whatever" and block the number.
Every time the person claims they will get compensation from an affair partner.
Everytime a person has to move in with their body agents and is forced to work in a family business.
I would add more but you're already at risk for alcohol poisoning as it is.
And everytime they hire a private detective.
And when they text "What?" After every shocking announcement
Or ‘huh?’ Or everyone works for a company or is the CEO. I like these. I look forward to them everyday but they could use some changes.
@@jimins_thighs_are_everythi6894 let them cuss.
Or someone gets remarried, but I think the list is already long enough 😄😅
When calling someone who works from home a 'jobless bum' then being surprised that person actually makes a lot of money. Bonus shot if they own the house they were getting kicked out of.
When the antagonist character gets surprised that the person they think will wait for them for years actually moved on with their life and got married.
"Stop acting so tough"
These stories are so satisfying. I love the justice at the end. When I get fed up with Reddit stories and Entitled People/Karen stories, I like the Apple Texts to make me feel good about life again.
Thanks!
I do not get the idea that a woman should be or automatically wants to be a housewife after they marry. I'm not critisizing those women who actually do that voluntarily, but this idea it's the norm is just bizarre to me. I have a really, really hard time believing that most women would want to be stuck at home doing mindless housework all day, when they could be pursuing careers of their own that would not only challenge them and make use of their educations and talents, but keep them socially active AND not least of all, earning money for the household. Then again, where I'm from, housewives are quite rare from what I've seen.
Work is hard but I do like my job. Just staying at home is just so isolating. It's hard to make friends as an adult, at least give me co workers I can chat with. Plus making my own money I can use how I want is great. Personally, would choose job over housewife every time.
I actually worked and lived 90 miles from home for a job. I tried to get home on weekends and a day or two during the week, if possible. My husband was fine with it. We survived and still loved each other. We lasted 44.5 years until he died. Miss him.
@@georgiawessling7987 That is a beautiful story. Sorry for your loss!
@@georgiawessling7987
Was your husband a househusband or a worker?
@@dragoncat5767 He was a worker. The first time I saw him, I knew he was a "hick" farmer. And, I was right. Within 2 years of marriage, we moved to MO from Chicago for him to work on a farm. He worked there for years, plus also did several years as a school bus driver (25) - which he also loved. From him, I have learned to tell people to find something to like about every
place you work. Because, if you don't, you are the one who will suffer. I don't believe is suffering unnecessarily. I even worked as a clerk in a maximum security facility for the insane. I really enjoyed that. And the inmates loved me too, as I would stand at the half door and talk to them when my work gave me breaks. I have very many reasons to hate retirement. But the most is that I don't have nearly enough people to talk to. Ha Ha
AH Husband Preston:. You're heartless!
Me: And you're brainless. And clueless.
I watch these multiple times, at least once a day for some. Not 100% sure why
You’re amongst friends………
They're entertaining?
Probably
I watch because I am retired, home alone all day and have no car to drive. These keep my mind and my knowledge up to par.
The cleaning of the office kind of sounds like my husband a tiny bit. I have OCD and always have a particular way I organize my craft room. He offered to put a few things away for me and later when I went upstairs I see all my stuff stacked in the doorway of my room. Close, but not quite lol. I’m still glad he tried, he’s probably scared he’ll disappear in my room(I have a TON of craft stuff).
Gotta love when the trash takes itself out!
How dare he?! That's a jerk move! He knew she needed that for work! If he doesn't find working women attractive, why did he marry her? People who hide who they are until they get married are terrifying. that's not right. he can't still love her because she is a working woman, and he doesn't find them attractive.
He probably never loved her.
Got my cocoa and my croissant and the next 15 minutes of my life figured out. Love starting my morning with these.
So many stories where the Wife/Girlfriend/Fiancé is the villain it actually refreshing to see a bad Husband/Boyfriend/Fiancé.
Ah, Karma. Really though, even without a supernatural force working to balance the scales, we cause the vast majority of our own problems. And who the heck throws out documents without asking? Serves him right and more than right.
Gonna be real tough for him to get a decent job now. The only thing that might save him is you're not allowed to say 'bad things' about a former employee if called for a reference, but I can tell you true, there are ways to do that without actually doing it.
Correct. One question that's asked is "would you hire them back if able?" That's all they can ask and yes or no is all that can be answered.
Some refuse to say anything.
This is why healthy communication is important. If you want your future wife to be a housewife you should have that conversation before the marriage. If you hate motorcycles and expect your boyfriend to get rid of the bike after the marriage, you should talk about that before hand. That way people can make informed decisions on future plans. Like if you consider something an absolute no deal for fiancee then that should be handled really early on. Better to split on amicable terms than to take it into a marriage and have avoidable fallout
Love these videos
This sounds a good one
“It’s every woman’s dream to become a housewife…” he can f*** right off with that comment!
Liked the background music during the texts. Not too loud.
Totally shouldn't have told him about your husband's company. That would have been priceless to see his face at the company Xmas party
Hey, at least she gave him more notice than the company was planning on about his job.
preston can't stand the fact that janet is a working wife and want her to be housewife and try to get her fired but no preston face serious karma and janet remarried and live in best life!!!
She stoked the flames! She knew how her ex was have reacted.
Real love doesn’t purposely set out hurt someone in an effort to manipulate them. Real love doesn’t manipulate, period.
I’m getting real tired of the ubiquitous question, “what are you talking about?” It’s in every video. Multiple times.
Moral of the story: don't mess with things that aren't yours because you never know what could happen
Seriously, why do some people not say what they want from a marriage before they propose or accept one, let alone before they get married?
Putting Preston on the back burner for a minute, work, finances, children, living arrangements and pets should be discussed well in advance of getting hitched.
If for example, I wanted to be a stay at home dad, doing the childcare and housework, living in a suburban town/city with two cats I would need to make sure that girlfriend/future wife actually wanted that as well, it would be stupid to drop that a day or months into a marriage if she was child-free, wanted us to both work so we could retire early with her wanting us to rent to save money and her having a car fur allergy.
Preston is a narcissist ass. He knew exactly want kind of problems would be caused by throwing out those documents and USB drives would cause. Instead of talking to his wife, he chose to sabotage her and hope it was enough to get his way, and when that didn't work he divorced her as a "lesson", with the expectation she would take any terms he laid out. "Too bad" it completely tanked him and set her up for better things.
Yup and let's be glad most narasist aren't the super villain, master mind manipulate types. Their just udota who think things will go there way cause their them. That must mean things will work out of they think on their heads.
Karma’s like a boomerang. I don’t think this Preston dude knows how boomerangs work, I feel sad the he never had the father to teach him how to throw properly. At least he knows how to throw his life.
6:35
Dammit preston, get out of the way, i was watchin the person make a paper boat! No wonder y ur divorced!
Thanks to Preston she was able to find someone who loves and respects her in every way while Preston will be all alone for the rest of his life
he divorced to teach lesson. maybe did a favor.
Ex-wives and ex-husbands don't need to tell each other things, because it's really none of their business.
In other words after he sabotaged her work in order to "put her in place" and divorce her he couldn't find a younger woman to be his housewife as he orginally wanted and coming crawling back to her. Oh dear.... .
lolololol
One of my friends went through something slightly similar like this. The only difference she was not married to her ex only dating and she is dating a childhood friend of hers now. :)
What became of the ex-boyfriend?
@@patrikbengtsson3883 I don't know him personally TBH but from what I gathered from gossip. His Uncle and Father had a chat with him, so to speak. Also he married a lady picked by his parents according to gossip. So everyone is moving on with their lives I guess. I'm just happy my friend met someone who cares about her the same way she does.
Karma. Love it.
This guy is intimidated by her success.
I ain't never gonna be a stay at home wife, I'd get way to bored and I'd end up arranging each room into a maze just for shit and giggles and watch as my spouse tries to navigate my craziness
All it takes is a backbone and a little common sense to know that guy was trash.
The way the narrator talks is so interesting, not sure why but it’s nice :)
This one wasnt too bad. Should see the horrible ones when they try and do accents... They are so over the top racist they have no idea lol
@@AM0908 oh really? Jesus Christ, I’ve actually never heard the accents only the British one which I always thinks quite funny
It's always funny that karma has a way of getting back at exes.
Mistake number 1: Tossing out her paperwork and USB sticks (no brainer!). Mistake number 2: Divorcing her as a form of punishment- C'mon, really? That always backfires in these stories! Mistake number 3: Waiting 3 years to see if she had 'cooled off' yet. No, she's just letting life bite you in the butt. Mistake number 4: Stalking the new hubby...see other three mistakes. A sane man would have cut his losses and run before getting to this point...
So his mum became a housewife upon marriage. How long ago was that? Did he go back in time to the sixties or seventies where women were not even ALLOWED to work? What era is he living in? No sane woman would automatically wanna be a housewife unless she really liked it or needed it. Being a housewife is hard work. And you rely on the pittance that your husband gives you per month. You actually put yourself at a disadvantage by being a housewife. At least a job will keep you occupied while getting paid. If by some circumstance, the wife is incapacitated in any way, and the husband bails, how the hell is she gonna support herself then? Don't ever rely on a man to support you, ladies. Take care of yourself first.
"then divorce me!" Gladly.
I have a special hared for men that persue carreer women and then want them to change into a house wife. There are plenty of women that would want nothing more than to be a stay at home Mum/wife but they think those women are beneath them and need to conquer a career woman. makes me so mad.
He only wanted her to be at home more
She started working from home
Divorce
Don't make sense
These are such guilty pleasures.
He didnt really jump to conclusions did he though she told him he was going to probably get laid off but for him to go to the husband's workplace is just wow
Karma happens in the next life what happened to him was comeuppance.
It's amazing how men think younger women want to take care of them... Delusional 🙄
I love the after that's!!
Glad op divorced him and found a better man
nice movie play .
This is so funny. Preston messed up this wife's work and let her go. Then the man who helps her and ends up as his new boss.
He just wanted her to be dependent on him but I bet his didn't make enough money for that. That's why he was acting out.
Dude, if someone wants to divorce you just do it , don't ask! Gawd!!
First of all, go through his things and throw out everything that looks like "trash" to you. Then discuss the situation with him.
I honestly don't understand how these men (and I know men like this actually exist) are such a good 10/10 catch that women would instantly apologize and start crying and begging to be given another chance after being treated worse than trash.

I think there are no simple house-spouses in Sanctuary. Everyone has to work.
Don't marry people if you're using the concept of divorce as a tool just to punish them. Divorces aren't a weapon just to get what you want. A marriage should be a partnership between two people. 🧐🤷⁉️🤔🤦

Hey at least there's no cheating!
