I love how OP in the first story was hesitant to tell her friends about her feelings about Kevin because she was afraid they'd judge her, but she apparently wasn't worried about a bunch of strangers on Reddit judging her for it
She thought that it would be safe to post it online since some strangers on the internet wouldn’t know her personally. But as we can see, that backfired hard
Strangers don't know where you live or work and you don't see them everyday so in a sense it's better than opening up to friends. But she was still arguing with everyone and couldn't see reason. I think she was hoping for advice on how to get K instead of actual advice
@@hanoh2904 She was absolutely trying to see how she could wreck their home. I get she was probably coping with the lost of her ex, but trying to turn your fantasy of someone who’s in a committed relationship like that is simply delusional
A lot of people don't care for the opinion of internet strangers because since there's little to no chance to meet irl in any way, they act like they're above internet criticism and it doesn't apply to them
Honestly I think I know exactly why the kids in ops first story were being that way. Because imagine this if she’s as narcissistic, and psychotic and crazy as I think she is, she probably tried acting like the kids mom instead of a baby sitter and tried bossing them around and being generally rude. Wouldn’t surprise me at all. Probably thought her life was a hallmark show smh
I mean, she literally said "they didn't respect my authority", she was 100% going on a power trip and the kids put her back in her place, honestly, props to them.
Right! I lowkey think that was her intentions. People that are obsessed do crazy things thinking it would flatter the person they've attached themselves to. In a twisted way, I think the idea was to show the guy that "yes, this is me and look at what I wrote. Look at how much I love you and want a beautiful life with you." Lol to us normal heads, it looks unhinged but to people like OP they think it's romantic.
I like the part where OP said, "K is a good and honest man. If anything was to happen between us he would absolutely leave his wife, because it wouldn't be fair to either of us, and he told me he believes very strongly in fairness." But then K rejected OP completely. 😄 She seems delusional. I mean, she thinks fairness is a married man leaving his family, his entire life behind for her.
@@prettyfreaknordinary7982 Yeah, I think you're absolutely right. I bet she's also unable to differentiate media romance fantasy tropes from real life application. That "messy" breakup she mentioned at the beginning is looking a lot clearer now.
I’m glad that Kevin really is the decent person the OP believes he is, and is not interested in having an affair with her just because she’s (apparently) prettier than his wife. Obviously not great for the deluded OP… but good for Kevin, his wife, his children, and the institution of marriage in general. Some people DO take the vows seriously! 😛
That first story is like a Lifetime movie. I was expecting OP to dramatically reveal that they were the one who caused his wife to get in a car accident.
Op be like: AITA for cutting the breaks on Kevin's wife's car??? I really screwed up you guys, I just snipped her breakline so she'd get in a fender bender but SHE WENT OFF A BRIDGE, what do I do?!! Do you think Kevin will still love me?
If OP really loved Kevin, she'd be heartbroken for him that his pregnant wife got into such an awful situation, not thinking about making a move on him in his time of need. That's not love, that's disgusting envy in its purest form
Obsession is "I think you’re what I need to fix me," and love is "you deserve to be as happy as you can be, whether it’s with me or it isn’t is immaterial to me."
This so much. My best friend just broke up with her long term partner and is now realizing he never actually loved her, he just just liked what she brought to the table. Woof. Everybody needs therapy.
Rslash taking his channel seriously and genuinely apologizing for just being in a bad mood like not even doing anything wrong just further reinforces my faith in this channel. Been a huge fan for over a year and with good reason! So easy to support someone who works really hard and holds himself to high ethical standards. Hope you very much enjoy your vacation!! You deserve it!

@@mattybrunolucaszeneresalas9072 how long have you been watching for? Having watched since early 2019 personally, I've noticed the change in his attitude.
Man you hear so many monster in law stories which makes it so wholesome when you get a mother that's not afraid to put her son in his place when he messes up. Good on her for being a decent genuine person and having OPs back
Maybe it’s because of the kind of family I grew up in, but I’m surprised there aren’t more. If one of my siblings acted stupid, my mom would absolutely own it. She saw us being stupid enough to know we were capable of it.
It could also be partly of the undeniable stupidity here. They are already married for 7 years. She owns most assets. They booth planned the baby. Also even the FIL shits on the son because he knows what it takes,to be a,father. His son running and crying shows he iant grown up enough to be a father or Husband. Crunbling at any big thing with no logical thinking ability.
I can confirm that well-behaved children from a happy home do sometimes behave like that: usually when stressed and worried, like if their mother and youngest sibling were in a car accident, and they got left with a stranger.
When my youngest brother was born I refused to go to bed like the sitter wanted, too excited, and at least two of my younger siblings followed suit as I was ringleader of sorts. But, she drew a line that I was happy to follow: we couldn’t go downstairs and if we weren’t going to go to bed my younger sisters and I had to clean our room. We gladly cleaned up our room and stayed upstairs.
And I’m betting OP wasn’t helping the situation. I wonder if the kids could read that she is crazy which lead to them acting out along with the chaos of not knowing how their mom is
@@lorilancaster5917Oh for sure! She said that they didn’t respect her authority, which is cringe. She only had to watch them for a few hours. She for sure was super overbearing
All 4 of my brothers have kids and they’re all rowdy! Kids in a secure environment feel confident enough to be energetic and loud. I had a horrible childhood and I was super quiet and reserved. I take misbehaving kids with a grain of salt
"Kevin is a good honest man, if anything were to happen between us he would definitely leave his wife because he's all about fairness" There is nothing good, honest and fair about LETTING anything happen to begin with. Something tells me that SHE was the problem in her last relationship
@@crypticcryptid4702Wouldn’t be surprised. OP brushed over the previous relationship but it’s super easy to downplay the damage and not realize how it fucked you up until later. Had a narcissistic ex who would regularly make passes at my friends, and at one point asked me point blank if I thought a friend of mine would sleep with her. Broke up with her and told myself “whatever.” Now my fiancée has to deal with the trust issues I didn’t even know had formed.
Story 2 seems to be connected to Story 1 because Story is also about OP and OP had to deal with the divorce. So it makes sense on why Story 1 started with a 1st sentence that say breaking up with her long term boyfriend. So with OP living a divorced life, she is not learning her lesson from her previous relationship and started repeating a same mistake. OP had forgotten how to treat others with respect.
I can really understand having crush on someone, I have a crush on another famous youtube content creator, but it's really important to keep yourself in check to make sure you don't lose your mind to your crush and whatever fantasies you have with them. It's nice to have a dream but to really force that dream to come true hardly ever has a good outcome. It's better to just let life flow as it is without trying to influence anything too much and if you get what you want, then great, but if you don't, then you just have to accept that. A kite flies on a string, not a stick.
@@fanfictiondreamer7836 I agree with you, it's ok to have a crush I've made a fool of myself over crush once too, but with K's wife in the hospital after an accident... that's insane. There is a line somewhere and this is definitly crossing
That post made me cringe so hard. Definitely something I'd do when I was 12. But this woman is a grown ass adult. I kept seeing my 12 year old self in that post and had to pause the video multiple times to calm myself from imploding from that level of second-hand embarrassment.
I won't lie, as soon as I heard about MIL rocking up to OP's house I was thinking the worst in terms of the entitled old battleaxes we normally hear about in these situations. But to hear that the MIL and FIL were completely sympathetic to OP was refreshing and wholesome.
Same, I've heard too many "Karen," posts that I was expecting her to go super evil. But she clearly cared for her daughter in law and more importantly their child. Great woman, shocking that she has such worthless sons.
It's also nice that the MIL and FIL are supportive of the divorce. Most parent-in-laws would force their child's partner to stay despite the underlining issues.
Story 2: Not to detract from the strength of OP but OMG, MIL and FIL are AWESOME humans! The fact that they were willing to call their son out and stand beside OP and help her is amazing!
Op's husband: "Hey, I just learned something that's shattered my sense of security, can you comfort me?" OP: "Lmao, no. Also, that thing your afraid of is already true." Op's husband:
Story from my hometown- a guy was abusing his wife. When she had him arrested and filed for divorce, his parents embraced her and the grandkids and disowned the son.
@@H-to-O i would agree with this, IF he didnt double and TRIPLE down on it, dude was still reluctant to apologize until he heard the baby's gender, dude had at least a week to think about his actions and how he hurt those around him, and he still didnt care enough to look at her in the eye until something he wanted appeared, i agree we need to be more accepting of people emotional failings, but we cant excuse them from the consequences of their continous actions
Final story seems more like OP ended up with most of their stuff and her husband’s family as a door prize. How he’d suddenly feel trapped after several years of marriage seems unreal.
How she was willing to throw away her marriage after one stupid comment and not go through some sort of counselling shows she probably already wanted to leave, this was just a convenient excuse.
@@auscowboy8950 I kinda get that vibe too. There isn't a lot of forgiveness in this world anymore. Like she nukes a marriage and now creates a situation where her child is going to grow up without her father there for 100% of the time (assuming some visitation and child support), but I've forgiven people who have straight up assaulted me (as have most guys at some point). Women are so fucking vindictive. No wonder why so many guys are going gay, no crazy women gonna baby trap them.
@@evilmotorsports5076 well the thing is, they just found out their friend was baby trapped, the husband had a brain fart moment, which the wife laughed in his face about instead of having a reasonable conversation, then in a matter of days had divorce papers drawn up. Absolutely ridiculous. You’re right, she had no intention of forgiving the husband, this was just most likely an easy way for her to divorce him.
I've got the perfect solution. The husband from the second story should get together with the psycho from the first story! Then he can know what trapping REALLY feels like (notice I didn't say "baby trapping" -- this dude would for sure end up locked in a windowless room under some house waiting every day for "wifey" to get home)
I tough first op was going to talk about how she fell for the neighbor who is a single dad, my face fell when she revealed HE IS MARRIED. Also, I’m very sure she treated his kids like garbage and like she was already a stepmom and that’s why they didn’t like her. I’m so glad neighbor found out about this because op needs professional help
I know. I remember first reading the story and thinking, "oh this may be kind of cute". And then I was horrified like three sentences in when it said he had a wife and kids...
OP did not even earn the title stepmom in the first place. When Kevin entrusted OP to watch the kids, it does not mean babysit the kids. OP broke Kevin's trust. What OP did was break into Kevin's house just to boss Kevin's kids around. So basically, OP is not even a stepmom. OP is a creepy neighbor who broke into Kevin's house and complained about getting mistreated by Kevin's kids.
Good for you! As a father of a 10 months old, I totally understand where you are at, and I'm really happy for you that you allowed yourself to have this well deserved break. Take care
For the last story I can somewhat understand the husband freaking out a bit but when OP broke it down saying that they have been married for 7 years and that having a child was a mutual decision he really should have realized there was no trap involved.
Exactly- like- irrational fears are normal to have. But OP literally went “we’ve been married 7 years, we planned this. It is not a trap” and he still flipped out UNTIL he heard OP was having a girl Good on MIL and FIL for being actual good humans and good grandparents
Plus let's be honest. OP says in her post that she makes three times what her husband does owns. The house has more money and they send a prenup. They agreed together to try for a child and have been actively trying for over a year. What exactly about that leads to her wanting to trap him? Not every insecurity that flits across your lizard brain is worth indulging in. And he didn't just indulge in it. He ran with it and went to Mexico. Can barely call this guy a man.
Also, he's allowed to be afraid of being a father. Of course you are. It's terrifying to become a parent. But what you're not allowed to do is accuse your wife of one of the worst things a person can do to someone that isn't an actual crime. And then when they don't automatically follow their knees and beg for forgiveness, you storm out of the house, allow your brother to verbally abuse them through text and only come back to apologize when Mommy makes you. So if this truly was he was just afraid to be a father. He should have had that conversation with his wife not make accusations.
Keep the grandparents! Ditch the idiot who didn't seem tyo give to shits until he learned that he was having a daughter. Not once did he give a single full hearted apology.
Take care of yourself, dabney. Also, I love how rslash turned op's voice in the first story into his Karen voice as soon as the sentence "I never had trouble getting attention of men,..." came up.
Final story: I’m glad OP saw through it and didn’t take him back, but OP’s husband suddenly being overjoyed about having a baby girl makes me wonder how he would have acted if it happened to be a boy.
for many people the baby having a gender makes it more real that there is a tiny human, instead of just some abdominal swelling and vague future plans it was in that moment he realized that HE also wanted the child
She didn't see anything tho. She didn't see how essentially saying "you're ALREADY trapped" made things worse, she didn't see how LITERALLY laughing off her partners concerns made this worse, and she also didn't see that pregnancy can be hard on the FATHER's mental health too, along with the fact that the revelation that US family courts are pretty stacked in favor of the mother is a REALLY scary thing for a man to realize. The only thing she saw was Toxic Masculinity saying that men should never have a moment of weakness and shouldn't need support from their partners.
@@RealCoolstriker64 A moment of weakness is very different from claiming your wife of over half a decade baby trapped you when you actively planned and tried for that child. The guy did not truly acknowledged or apologize for his wrong doing, he just made excuses for running away and said the bare minimum to try to get her back. I am all for people needing support. I am all for dismantling toxic masculinity. However, that requires proper communication, not stonewalling and abandoning your pregnant partner.
@@karinagutierrez7134 and getting divorce papers the day after your husband came to you with concerns, laughing in his face, and then getting pissed because he’s not next to you when you wake up? OP is the toxic one here. The husband is in dire need of therapy/counselling, and the wife jumps straight to divorce. Just goes to show how toxic women can really be, most likely would have jumped at any excuse to divorce the husband, and in a moment of mental weakness, she saw this as opportunity. I feel sorry for the kid growing up with a mum like that.
For the last story, all the husband had to do was to be honest and say he was scared of being a dad. They could have talked it through or gone to counseling.
Exactly being scared of being a parent whether it's a mother or father is a Perfectly Natural response to the stress and the responsibility of raising a human being. But the come at it like you did in such a toxic way craziness.
I agree but although his actions were extremely stupid I think throwing away 7 years of marriage because of that is exagerated. She says he didnt apologize which is shitty too but sometimes actions speak louder than words like the reaction to the gender reveal. Also she shouldnt have left him with the thought that he might still have a chance, while already being sure to divorce him and should have told him during the dinner. Yes, he fucked up huge, but its a stupid fuck up, not calculated & vindictive. Still her decision but I think a 2nd chance after 7 years with a coming baby with some rules set by her could be an option as well.
I’m gonna be honest, I feel like the husband was also letting the friend talk in his ear too much too, I feel like what happened is he started talking to the friend who got baby trapped and since the friend had such a negative and malicious entry to fatherhood that’s all that happened. It’s like those stories you hear about people reading about cheating spouses and become convinced their spouse is cheating and end up ruining their relationships. I feel like the husbands friend started rattling off about baby trapping and that mixed with the anxiety of being a new father and he just convinced himself of it as well and saw a way out. Which is horrible that it was so easy for him to loose any and all affection like that to begin with
Even f he felt baby trapped, he could have talked it out with his mom or dad before saying such awful shit TO OP. Instead he threw away his whole life on an irrational and illogical thought.
@Handstyles she not throwing it away. He threw it away the second he accused her of some pretty terrible things. Actions that if anybody is guilty of would mean they're fundamentally a terrible awful human being at the very core of their person. And then not only that he allows his brother to harass her and sent her that awful text message. As a psychologist the amount of people that think that therapy is some magic bullet that's going to make everyone forget how awful you treat them is craziness. A lot of times the outcome of therapy and marriage counselling is it's time for divorce it's time to move on. All marriage counselling does in a situation like this is beat a dead horse. And this so you got to give them a chance and you know people make mistakes and why people stay in a relationship that's toxic and abusive and manipulative and full of gaslighting. Because God forbid they do something that's just for them and move on.
There are only a handful of people I will listen to read Reddit posts. Your channel is the only channel I listen to EVERY SINGLE DAY. Thank you for doing what you do. Have a beautiful vacation with your family. We’ll be here when you get back💗💗
Homeboy in the last story got the opposite of baby trapped. Also his mom is a BAMF. I like to imagine she was literally dragging him in the house by his ear.
You're allowed to have your own opinion Rlsash, even if it's wrong from time to time. All that proves is that you're human. You've been uploading every single day for YEARS! Have a good vacation and see you back soon, but not too soon ;)
@@SoftKid123 Sometimes Rslash will do a AITA video and give ratings to people who don’t deserve them. In the comments, we usually guess that it’s because either the topic was a little personal for him, or he’s just going off what all the other comments say, thinking that’s what we’d all agree with here too
The satisfaction of the MIL and FIL being on OPs side during that last story was immeasurable. You reap what you sow, I can’t help but wonder if he’d been thinking about their relationship before this “BabY TraPpInG” incident. I mean you don’t just spend 7 years with someone, try to have a kid with them and then run for the hills at the slightest hint of speculation or conspiracy if everything is hunky dory and you have no thoughts of leaving at all or smthn. And then he didn’t even really apologize, pathetic really 🙄
I would take a look at the MIL and find out what she did to raise such men that have trust issues. I am seeing everyone celebrating the destruction of a marriage, hastened by the ones celebrating it but have no understanding of the trust issues going on. Do not be surprised if we get an update where he self deleted. Oh, and the divorce lawyer is doing it for one thing, to make money, and not some altruistic bs.
I WAS SO SCARED IT WAS GONA HAVE AN EVIL MIL STORY CAUSE THATS ALWAYS SO COMMON ON REDDIT The absolute ELATION of hearing how she tore both her sons apart for that absolutely stupidity was so cathartic
Second story was super empowering to read and I’m so glad she’s putting herself and her daughter first. Also bless her MIL for being so understanding and putting her sons in their place.
@@slvttysmile They were very abusive to him, emasculating him over and over then disowning him, and then calling him a loser...as a mom, there is *nothing* my son could do to make me disown him or talk to him like that. How does the Mom, or Dad not see that her son needs therapy and a safe place to share his concerns as a man and soon to be first time father? What a horrible MIL and ex-wife. I hope he isn't so destroyed by their abuse that he chases after them forever. She'll just feel more contempt for him the more he grovels. Guarantee it's only a matter of time before MIL and OP stop bonding over their mutual contempt of the ex-husband and OP turns on the MIL refusing her and her son visitation etc.....
Glad you're taking a short break for yourself Rslash, definitely deserve it after you and your editor continually provide us with videos day after day. Hope you' have a great week!
Yeah I think he needs it to have a clear view since we have notice his bad takes on some of this stories especially on the AITA vids I definatly noticed
Story 1 - It is good to see that someone shared her story to that guy because it just shows that someone out there is going to read such stories and just know who you are talking about. Honestly, that guy really dodged a bullet. I honestly hope that guy takes out a restraining order against that psychoB Story 2 - God, Karma bit back hard at that husband and his own parents disowned him, and I honestly would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when MIL went and spoke to him because she sounds to be a force of Nature you do NOT want to mess with. Honestly, all those years marriage and that guy throws it away like that.
You've definitely been a lot more dour and cynical recently, but you're clearly a super positive guy! I hope this break recharges you and gets you back to base, and I hope you enjoy your vacation, Rslash!
I think he’s entitled back. It’s super easy to make these videos . He needs to work two days a week and he’s stressed. You’re all a bunch of bootlickers for believing that garbage!
This is his full time job. A small vacation wont change it. It's just the natural outcome of a reddit youtuber. He'll be back to being a cynical realist in about a week. People suck, that's how it is
yup, a cautionary tale. "oh, you feel babytrapped in this house that I own? Here are some divorce papers, fly away free." And that MIL knows who's more likely to let her visit the grandkid, good call on her.
@@royalbluegaming7763 Thankfully, the closest story I've heard to that is a woman who left her comatose boyfriend (he'd been in a coma for two years and had no chance of recovery. His mom still got mad at OP for leaving).
It's so satisfying to hear the MIL siding with OP over divorcing her son. I imagine she heard a lot more of the whining and responsibility dodging while he stayed with his parents those two weeks. Also, happy vacation to you, rSlash!
I’ve been watching you since 2019 and not once so I ever remember you taking a break! I am so excited for you to enjoy some time off and spend it with your family! Have an amazing time at the Grand Canyon and shows in Vegas! We’ll be here when you are done relaxing!
So glad to hear that rSlash is taking a break. It is well deserved. Maintaining the schedule he has has to be rough on top of having a baby at home too.
I am addicted to this story because I love watching the outcome of OP being destroyed by her hopeless longing for a Married Man. It's adorable she thought she had a chance.😂
Rslash took you long enough to realize you need a break! Thank you for all your commentary over the years, keeping me busy and sharing stories with us! We all appreciate the content you make and push out, And Thanks to the editor too! They put in the work to push your videos out and you both deserve a break! Now get out there and enjoy your time with your wife and daughter 💜💜
First Story: Wow, um ok. OP is crazy. I was questioning what she meant when she said "I don’t know if he has feelings for me yet"; in my head I was like 'um, what does she mean by that? This man is married and have kids.' Now, OP is talking about loving Kevin, saying she would love to be a step-mom, believes that they aren’t happy (somehow, the kids are "proof" of this), and is assuming that they will get a divorce. Even if they do get a divorce for whatever reason OP makes up in her head, what makes OP think that Kevin will go for her? OP's behavior is what will result in a restraining order being placed against her by Kevin and his family. Oh my god lmaoooo. I legit started laughing when I saw the part where Kevin sent the Reddit link 😂😂😂😂😂. Yooooo this story got even better. My suspecious were correct (shocking right?) Kevin does NOT have feelings for OP and this is all in her head. She brought this on herself. That gave me a good laugh Comment: I agree 100%. OP needs to seek a therapist or something because this behavior isn’t normal OP's Comment: Wooow OP is so delusional it is hilarious. Like I said in my comment, lets say they do get a divorce what makes OP think Kevin would go to her? That being said, I can safely assume Kevin does not have romantic feelings for OP. I feel like OP has some sort of trauma from her past relationship so bad that any man who is remotely nice to her she automatically catches feelings for them and then goes into this state. Second Story: Wow um ok. OP's husband don’t know the definition of baby trapping because this isn’t being baby trapped. The situation with his friend WAS a baby trap; this sounds like a mutual agreement to try for a baby. First off, MIL is an absolute legend; usually, most MILs would take the side of their kid before anyone else but thankfully this MIL is a smart woman and didn’t believe her son's bs. I agree, what he did is divorce worthy. Also, if this man was so scared to be a dad why did he agree to try for a baby in the first place??? Wow, OP's in laws are amazing; I really like how much they defended and supported OP throughout their son's mess ups. I find it hilarious how this man is crying and asking if OP is "really going to throw away their family like this" when HIS actions are the cause of him losing his family. Imagine accusing someone of baby trapping when you BOTH was trying for a baby for a year. He brought all of this on himself and it all could’ve been avoided if he stopped and think about things
happy for you, Dabney. Enjoy your vacation, and you are forgiven for the negativity. You didn't double down or ignore us, you heard what we as a community were saying and took it to heart. So very glad you are taking a break.
I can't agree more. I've called Dabney out on some of the bad takes before and the fact that he's used it a a sign that he needs a break is amazing. Go recharge, chill and makes some happy memories with your family. It can only do you good.
@@It-is-me...MelsieThe issue was that his opinions seemed so toxic and strangely contradicted compared to his older statements. It led many people, myself included, to theorize that he was inciting conflict to promote discussion. That pattern and it's artificialness was the problem, not the dissenting opinions.
Have a nice vacation rSlash!! I can't believe this is the first time you took an actual break from this channel, I first listened to you when I was in high school and now I'm about to graduate college. Damn time flies fast.
My conspiracy theory for the first story is is that the oldest daughter, maybe caught a vibe that OP was trying to be a homewrecker, so she purposefully convinced her sibling to go crazy so the younger one would go crazy as well and she acted like a rebellious teenager on purpose to scare OP away lol
Last Story: The husband is definatly bonkers for implying babytrapping. I agree with OP that I would not want a partner that just leaves as soon as things get hard. But that also applies to OP. Not sure if instant divorce was “sticking around” when things get hard on her end either. Personally, would have gone to couples counceling first, especially because the marriage seemed to have been good otherwise. but yeah. Each their own.
Agreed. Unless there's more that we're not being told, OP's husband having what was quite clearly a fight-or-flight response to th3 fears of fatherhood is not grounds for divorce.
No, I don't think that I don't see why being in a relationship with someone who's going to accuse you of something so fundamentally awful is worth your time. He didn't just panic about fatherhood he accused her of some pretty toxic, pretty terrible behavior. That in Canada, in fact, is against the law and is a federal offense. And I'm pretty sure Canada isn't the only country. Paternity fraud messing with birth control those are serious serious things to accuse someone up. Not only did he accuse her, but he also got his brother to got him to harasser her. Instead of coming back and apologizing on his own, he had to be dragged there like an odd toddler by his mummy. This is more than just we're going through a rough patch. This is mental abuse, and this is gas-lighting. They both agreed to have this child they've been in a relationship for 7 years. He's using the excuse of I was afraid to be a father for his deplorable behavior. Being afraid of Parenthood and scared of the responsibility that comes with it is a normal thing, and it's completely understandable. What this guy did was not. Just so you're aware, you don't have to stay in a relationship with someone if you don't want to. No reason is reason enough not to be in a relationship with someone.
@Amy McLean yeah but this wasn't just fear fatherhood this was accusing her of some pretty terrible things. Also couple counselling isn't going to fix everything. People need to stop thinking that therapies a Magic Bullet that's going to fix everything. I work in Psychology and sometimes even with therapy the best result is to divorce walk away or leave the situation. No amount of therapy is going to wash away the memories of him accusing her of some awful awful things. Then allowing his brother to continue the harassment. And only coming back to apologize when his mummy made him. No amount of counselling is going to fix that. No amount of counselling is going to make her lose those memories. She knows what she can get over and what she can't. And she doesn't owe an explanation to you or me or him or anyone else. And the fact that his mother agrees with her should tell you a lot about the situation.
I posted above but I feel she wanted out and this was the perfect excuse or the final straw she needed and it was a slow build up of a non happy relationship during the 7 years.
i agree. like yes she has every right to leave him, and the revenge part of me loves that she did, but the guy seems like not the brightest bulb. He probably listened to his friend's strife so much he projected it and made an idiotic rash mistake-- and which does NOT make it okay-- but there's still coming back from it if he truly feels sorry, etc. There's lines that should never be crossed, but they're different for everyone-- clearly that was too far for OP and i respect that. I guess I just personally feel like, assuming everything besides that in their relationship was good (Like a fairytale she said), with seven years of marriage and a baby on the way, it'd be worth it to at least *see* if he was willing to put in the effort to redeem himself and rectify his mistakes. But OP didn't want to take a chance of being hurt more, which I also totally get. Like you said, each their own. (that's all assuming this story is true and not just karma farming, but that's reddit for ya)
Have a good vacation! Hope you have fun with the fam! And seriously, consider doing one wholesome subreddit everyone in awhile. I know they don’t attract as much attention as the crazy ones but you deserve it! I literally watch your videos on repeat and I’m sure a lot of other people do too. We come for you and stay for the content. ❤
For the 1st story kids are pretty perceptive I wouldn't be surprised if the oldest caught on to OP and her intentions and that's why they supposedly acted that way
RSlash I’m so glad you’re taking a break, I have listened to you every night for at least 2 years, maybe 3 , and I’ve been so grateful for these videos. Listening your life get better and better (girlfriend-> Fiance -> Wife), you talking about your daughter, and giving your honest opinions on stories has made you such a unique creator that has a very important place in my heart. Thanks for always being there, for being a constant.
Good choice Rslash! You definitely deserve this vacation, especially after you’ve been reading stories for so long. I hope you have an incredible vacation with your family
The fact that Op even insisted on trying to get into her neighbours pants without seeing the consequences of her actions like trying to start an affair and potentially ruin her neighbours life.
Jeez, that first story was like the Lifetime channel and the Investigation Discovery channel had a drug fueled night of passion that resulted in some sort of crazy crack baby. I was thinking one of the updates would reveal that OP somehow manufactured the wife’s accident.
Flipping hell, I was listening to the first story when I was on my morning walk, and when “Kevin” replied with the link to the post, I couldn’t help but yell out OH SHITTTTT when other people were walking the other direction, was so awkward Also, really glad Rslash is taking time off, he deserves it!
So glad you’re taking some time for yourself, rSlash!! With that last story, my first thought was “awesome MIL for the WIN!” It’s so depressingly rare that we hear about in-laws who are so supportive & kind, especially in situations like that. Glad the OP was so blessed with awesome in-laws who want to be involved with the grandbaby.
I’m happy to hear you’re taking time off rslash! I’ve watched your content since the start of this channel and listen every day still. I hope you enjoy your much deserved and needed break and thanks for always delivering some of the best content ❤
That MIL from the second story is a gem of a human being! Also, I genuinely think that the friend of OP's ex planted an idea in his head. Why else would he randomly switch from wanting a family to the baby trapping accusations?
As an early morning worker, im always looking forward to watching your videos the minute they come out. Love ya Dabney! Take care of your mental health ❤️
First story: I grew up in a healthy, loving home and I had similar issues with my siblings (namely, my strong-willed, expressive little sister who would never do anything because I'm "not her mom"). If kids aren't listening to you, it's because you're doing something to disrespect them in their eyes.
Mental health is very important. Taking the time to heal is a good idea. That's definitely what OP from Story 1 needs, because her behavior and obsession with the neighbor is straight up unhealthy as RSlash said. Absolutely mental
When OP #1 started going off about Kevin and his wife being Polar opposites, it became clear that OP has never heard of the concept of opposites attract.
You enjoy your well deserved vacation. You deserve it. Also.... OP in story 1 is a.... cerrtain garden tool. But that update with the screen shots.... GLORIOUS!!! Keven shut her down so hard 🤣🤣🤣
So glad to hear Dr. Dab is getting a well deserved vacation! I hope you enjoy yourself and get to spend some nice quality time with the family (or being a gremlin and enjoying some nice alone time like I do on my vacations!) Enjoy yourself!
Psychology is complicated and given statistics around intact families I'd personally say that divorce is on the extreme side of things. According to OP, however, he didn't even genuinely apologize for his mental breakdown, so I can empathize. She and their daughter were collateral and apologizing bare minimum. Though, I still think she should hold off until he gets intensive therapy and they go to marriage counseling.
Moron hubby: "I'll have the octuple bacon lardburger, eight orders of chili cheese fries, and a sundae the size of a bathtub." Fast food worker: "Here's your order, sir." Moron hubby: "Oh my god, are you trying to make me fat?!"
OP says "If it happens" all the time while still acting like it's inevitable that Kevin would leave his wife for her. I'm hoping that Kevin finding the post and flat out rejecting her will give her a much needed reality check, but odds are high that she'll start acting like Kevin was a massive d-bag who lead her on.
Except she deleted the post as if that will save her butt, which shows that she won't change anytime soon. And I am convinced that this behavior of OP is why her long term boyfriend broke up with her and why they had the messy break up.
R/slash, I’ve been a fan of yours for like 3.5 years. I love all these reddit stories and I am amazed by the fact you upload every single day. Your personal inputs into the story gives this channel so much personality compared to other ones like it. I don’t know how you still haven’t reached 2 millions subscribers yet. You work very hard and I’m glad to hear you are taking a break. You deserve it king
Glad to hear that your taking care of yourself, your mental state and your family all in one!! Enjoy your vacation!! You deserve it for everything you’ve done and even sacrificed to make this channel a success!! We’re not going anywhere’s so enjoy every second of your vacation and get recharged cuz burnout is real
Last story: I understand having doubts about being a good father. I also understand about not having your fears validated and feeling shamed when you expressed them especially if you cannot articulate your what your emotions are at the moment. What I dont understand is once you realize yiu made a mistake, why don't he grovel? Ask her wifes forgiveness. Instead he went accused her of "throwing their relationship". And OP said they were friends before they got married.. To me means they are used to talkung to each other with out judgement.. But from turn after turn he is making the wrong steps. I agree with OP. If the husband bulks at the idea of this very big responsibility, would he "panic" again if he deemed himself not ready? He would have to gain OPs trust all over again. Chocolates and crying wont do it.
First story: I know plenty of people with Bipolar personality disorder including family members, I’m not a medical professional, but there is a trend where they think people are in love with them or they are dreaming of having a life with someone who is very obviously not in love with or available or even flirting with them. It could be just a manic state for this woman.
I've listened to you since the early days, Dabney. I recognize your voice to the point where if I hear other people listening to you, we jump into conversation about how much we love your commentary. I've recently noticed a grumpier side of myself due to the influence of the internet, and I actually hadn't realized it until you talked openly about what was going on in your head. I hope you enjoy your vacation, and the time with your wife and daughter!
You know, it seems that lately everywhere I go on the internet, people catch and spread like this depression bug or something. I feel it too. Even on wholesome Instagram profiles I follow. Last year had lots of positive and supportive people but nowadays, they get drowned out by passive aggressive, bored, downright Debbie downer comments. Maybe we can all use an internet detox.
whoa, that voice change around 3 minutes in was so creepy lol. 5:15 thank god. tbh i WAS expecting rSlash to feel sorry for her. he has a history of just siding with whoever the storyteller is 99% of the time.
The ego on this woman to think that the only way these kids could hate her in a divorce is if the mother poisoned them against her and not the fact that she’s the other woman. Also, the fact that she thinks the mother would do that shows to me that OP lacks the grace and compassion to keep children out of marriage problems since she’s projecting on the mother. OP even acknowledges how easy it would be for the kids to hate her since she’s trying to sleep with a married man
Damn, that last story was a little extreme. I mean he panics because he isn't sure he's ready and he loses his family because of it? Man. But at the same time I see her side of it, and if she feels detached from the situation as his wife, that isn't something you usually come back from. Tough break man
I don’t see his side at all. He “panicked” by accusing his pregnant wife of baby trapping him for no other reason than it happened to his friend, nothing she did. If he was worried and scared, he should’ve sat her down and talked to her. He didn’t. He unfairly accused his wife, used her shock and confusion as justification for his behavior and ditched her. He didn’t lose his family because his panicked. Heck, he only started actually apologizing at the meeting, when he found out the gender of his baby. He lost them because he acted like a coward and abandoned his wife
@Art_museum28 his response was bad. Nobody is saying it wasn't, but it was also very human. He didn't "abandon" anyone. He ran away and hid because he panicked. It's not like he packed up his house, refused to pay bills, and left, THAT'S abandoning his wife. You could say he emotionally abandoned her in that moment, which is horrible, but it's still not so horrible that a man should lose his entire family over a weak moment. The punishment doesn't fit the crime at all. But like I said, if she felt disconnected, that's tough to come back from for a full-grown man. Never mind a guy who clearly has some growing up and maturing to do. I agree with you in how he should've handled it, but not handling it like that shouldn't mean you lose everything forever. That's just too much
@@jdzspace33 1. That IS abandonment 2. Not only did he run away to his parents, he tried to turn them against OP 3. His panic doesn’t mean he accuse his wife of doing awful stuff to hurt him 4. If his response to being panicked about being a father is to accuse his wife of baby trapping, why should OP stick around 5. OP’s trust is broken. She can’t trust him to communicate with her, to entrust him with a safe area to talk to, and she can’t trust that he won’t just slander unfairly do extended family when he’s panicked The punishment fits the crime. She can’t trust him as her husband anymore and that’s his fault. It’s human for her to not want to be with a man who just accuses her of hurting him with a baby he didn’t consent to having (when this is a baby they tried having for a year)
@Art_museum28 I don't disagree with anything you said. From her perspective, everything you said is spot on. And I agree with everything you said about him, but the distinction is that he is a young guy, clearly immature, and he made a mistake. I don't want to undersell it, but I've the course of a marriage, 10 years from now, both of them would tell that story and laugh at it. To throw it all away, when you have a new family, that's just excessive, IMO. If he was violent, cheating, or crossed any of those lines, I would be right there with you 100%. But to throw everything away when it was clearly an immature reaction that once he grows up probably isn't going to repeat, it just feels like a little much. I hope that once he grows up a bit, she gives him a chance to fight for his family.
@@jdzspace33 She DID give him a chance, by waiting until the meeting for him to make a move. This was his mess to clean up and he just made a bigger storm In all honesty, it doesn’t even sound like this was a mistake. It feels like he was trying to weasel his way out of his marriage while making OP look bad and used what happened to his friend as his way of doing so. None of the whatever excuses he has or his age changes the fact that he abandoned his wife alone and went off to slander her to his family. Heck, the fact he was trying to slander her to his family but only stopped because of his mom is grounds for leaving him. It’s not fair that you’re saying she should give him another chance just because of his excuses and the fact he didn’t cheat on or abuse her. He still betrayed her even if it wasn’t with someone else. He still hurt her, even if he didn’t get physical. He still did wrong and cross a huge line. He accused his wife of doing something horrible to him when she did nothing wrong and tried to throw her name into the mud. He isn’t even sorry. His first response to hearing he was going to have a daughter was to act like his wife would just magically forgive him. The fact he’s not taking her feelings into account proves he’s not really sorry. The fact he’s only apologizing after hearing the gender of the baby and his wife saying she doesn’t want him home proves he’s not sorry. He’s not even genuinely sorry and even if he was, he can’t make this right. This was too big of a betrayal
I love how OP in the first story was hesitant to tell her friends about her feelings about Kevin because she was afraid they'd judge her, but she apparently wasn't worried about a bunch of strangers on Reddit judging her for it
She thought that it would be safe to post it online since some strangers on the internet wouldn’t know her personally. But as we can see, that backfired hard
Of course! There's no consequences when you're anonymous on the internet😂🤣
Strangers don't know where you live or work and you don't see them everyday so in a sense it's better than opening up to friends. But she was still arguing with everyone and couldn't see reason. I think she was hoping for advice on how to get K instead of actual advice
@@hanoh2904 She was absolutely trying to see how she could wreck their home. I get she was probably coping with the lost of her ex, but trying to turn your fantasy of someone who’s in a committed relationship like that is simply delusional
A lot of people don't care for the opinion of internet strangers because since there's little to no chance to meet irl in any way, they act like they're above internet criticism and it doesn't apply to them
Kevin's wife really nailed a catch, got an awesome guy who's loyal to boot, we stan kevin hope his life continues going well
I guess she's a catch, too, since she was "so ugly" but Kevin prefered her over the "pretty" OP...
I’m willing to bet that Kevin’s wife is much more desirable looking than OP is letting on. Just pure jealousy and nuttiness talking.
He is truly a catch, he also takes care of the children besides being loyal.
I mean... that's good. But that's also like the bare minimum you should expect from a partner.
@@shadenox8164 and yet I bet you don't hold yourself to the same lofty standards, eh?
Honestly I think I know exactly why the kids in ops first story were being that way. Because imagine this if she’s as narcissistic, and psychotic and crazy as I think she is, she probably tried acting like the kids mom instead of a baby sitter and tried bossing them around and being generally rude. Wouldn’t surprise me at all. Probably thought her life was a hallmark show smh
She was definitely not passing the girls' vibe check.
Kids are smarter than a lot of people give them credit for. I definitely think they picked up on her psycho behavior.
Kids definitely picked up on how OP tried to be a mom to them rather than just a sitter
I mean, she literally said "they didn't respect my authority", she was 100% going on a power trip and the kids put her back in her place, honestly, props to them.
I can't believe they locked her out of the house, that's hilarious 😂
Love how first OP exposes herself by posting the private text thread so that Kevin would 100% know it was her
Right! I lowkey think that was her intentions. People that are obsessed do crazy things thinking it would flatter the person they've attached themselves to. In a twisted way, I think the idea was to show the guy that "yes, this is me and look at what I wrote. Look at how much I love you and want a beautiful life with you." Lol to us normal heads, it looks unhinged but to people like OP they think it's romantic.
I like the part where OP said, "K is a good and honest man. If anything was to happen between us he would absolutely leave his wife, because it wouldn't be fair to either of us, and he told me he believes very strongly in fairness."
But then K rejected OP completely. 😄
She seems delusional. I mean, she thinks fairness is a married man leaving his family, his entire life behind for her.
@@prettyfreaknordinary7982 Yeah, I think you're absolutely right.
I bet she's also unable to differentiate media romance fantasy tropes from real life application.
That "messy" breakup she mentioned at the beginning is looking a lot clearer now.
Idk.. I saw that as a sign that this is a fake post. No one can be that stupid… right? right? Oh… never mind…
It's a different L-word she's looking for there. Lust. Not love. And she comes off as a preteen x1000 herself.
I’m so glad Kevin’s wife and the baby are okay. That’s really scary and the thought of losing the baby is always terrifying.
I’m glad that Kevin really is the decent person the OP believes he is, and is not interested in having an affair with her just because she’s (apparently) prettier than his wife.
Obviously not great for the deluded OP… but good for Kevin, his wife, his children, and the institution of marriage in general.
Some people DO take the vows seriously! 😛
@@dmf1301 also good for that person that left that top comment in the updated post
@@dmf1301 I doubt that she's prettier than Kevin's wife. She is so delusional, I wouldn't be surprised if she was wrong on that count too.
Kevin needs to ge a restraining order if he can I think. Not saying she would necessarily do something drastic, but wouldn't rule it out either.
That first story is like a Lifetime movie. I was expecting OP to dramatically reveal that they were the one who caused his wife to get in a car accident.
💀
Tbh, she sounds like the type to do that.
SHHHHHHHH!!! Don't give them ideas! They already have enough empty and cookie cutter romance/drama movies.
Op be like: AITA for cutting the breaks on Kevin's wife's car??? I really screwed up you guys, I just snipped her breakline so she'd get in a fender bender but SHE WENT OFF A BRIDGE, what do I do?!! Do you think Kevin will still love me?
My mom used to watch those kinds of movie on Lifetime
If OP really loved Kevin, she'd be heartbroken for him that his pregnant wife got into such an awful situation, not thinking about making a move on him in his time of need.
That's not love, that's disgusting envy in its purest form
the difference between "love" and "obsessively fantasizing"
Obsession is "I think you’re what I need to fix me," and love is "you deserve to be as happy as you can be, whether it’s with me or it isn’t is immaterial to me."
This so much. My best friend just broke up with her long term partner and is now realizing he never actually loved her, he just just liked what she brought to the table. Woof. Everybody needs therapy.
That OP has to be a legbeard because of those responses
I think OP is slowly turning into a tsundere (best case scenario) or perhaps, maybe even a yandere.
Rslash taking his channel seriously and genuinely apologizing for just being in a bad mood like not even doing anything wrong just further reinforces my faith in this channel. Been a huge fan for over a year and with good reason! So easy to support someone who works really hard and holds himself to high ethical standards. Hope you very much enjoy your vacation!! You deserve it!
100% Agree. "Rslash taking his channel seriously and genuinely apologizing for just being in a bad mood like not even doing anything wrong just further reinforces my faith in this channel.

I don't agree at all. Especially since it doesn't make much sense
@@mattybrunolucaszeneresalas9072 how long have you been watching for? Having watched since early 2019 personally, I've noticed the change in his attitude.
@@sabersz jeez I dunno
Before the pandemic
Man you hear so many monster in law stories which makes it so wholesome when you get a mother that's not afraid to put her son in his place when he messes up. Good on her for being a decent genuine person and having OPs back
It's like finding a unicorn in Reddit
Maybe it’s because of the kind of family I grew up in, but I’m surprised there aren’t more. If one of my siblings acted stupid, my mom would absolutely own it. She saw us being stupid enough to know we were capable of it.
@@BeeWhistler Same, my mom does NOT take any bullshit from her kids
It could also be partly of the undeniable stupidity here.
They are already married for 7 years.
She owns most assets.
They booth planned the baby.
Also even the FIL shits on the son because he knows what it takes,to be a,father. His son running and crying shows he iant grown up enough to be a father or Husband.
Crunbling at any big thing with no logical thinking ability.
That woman is a bitch and the mother in law is just as bad, imagine ripping a family apart because a guy panicked
Huzzah for rSlash taking care of his mental health!
Huzzah!
Huzzah!
Huzzah!!!
Huzzah!
Huzzah!
I can confirm that well-behaved children from a happy home do sometimes behave like that: usually when stressed and worried, like if their mother and youngest sibling were in a car accident, and they got left with a stranger.
When my youngest brother was born I refused to go to bed like the sitter wanted, too excited, and at least two of my younger siblings followed suit as I was ringleader of sorts. But, she drew a line that I was happy to follow: we couldn’t go downstairs and if we weren’t going to go to bed my younger sisters and I had to clean our room.
We gladly cleaned up our room and stayed upstairs.
What was so bad about their behaviour though? Yes the teen had an attitude but that's not uncommon, and the younger ones just wanted to play
And I’m betting OP wasn’t helping the situation. I wonder if the kids could read that she is crazy which lead to them acting out along with the chaos of not knowing how their mom is
@@lorilancaster5917Oh for sure! She said that they didn’t respect her authority, which is cringe. She only had to watch them for a few hours. She for sure was super overbearing
All 4 of my brothers have kids and they’re all rowdy! Kids in a secure environment feel confident enough to be energetic and loud. I had a horrible childhood and I was super quiet and reserved. I take misbehaving kids with a grain of salt
"Kevin is a good honest man, if anything were to happen between us he would definitely leave his wife because he's all about fairness"
There is nothing good, honest and fair about LETTING anything happen to begin with. Something tells me that SHE was the problem in her last relationship
Either that or her last relationship screwed her up big time.
@@crypticcryptid4702Wouldn’t be surprised. OP brushed over the previous relationship but it’s super easy to downplay the damage and not realize how it fucked you up until later. Had a narcissistic ex who would regularly make passes at my friends, and at one point asked me point blank if I thought a friend of mine would sleep with her. Broke up with her and told myself “whatever.” Now my fiancée has to deal with the trust issues I didn’t even know had formed.
Or she dreamed that one up in her delusions too
Story 2 seems to be connected to Story 1 because Story is also about OP and OP had to deal with the divorce. So it makes sense on why Story 1 started with a 1st sentence that say breaking up with her long term boyfriend. So with OP living a divorced life, she is not learning her lesson from her previous relationship and started repeating a same mistake. OP had forgotten how to treat others with respect.
@@AlibifortheAfterlifewishing you the best! That shit really fucks you up.
Story 1 is so perfect, OP is delusional and K is a good husband. Everytime that I imagine K reading the post with a WTF face I open a bigger smile.
I can really understand having crush on someone, I have a crush on another famous youtube content creator, but it's really important to keep yourself in check to make sure you don't lose your mind to your crush and whatever fantasies you have with them. It's nice to have a dream but to really force that dream to come true hardly ever has a good outcome. It's better to just let life flow as it is without trying to influence anything too much and if you get what you want, then great, but if you don't, then you just have to accept that. A kite flies on a string, not a stick.
@@fanfictiondreamer7836 I agree with you, it's ok to have a crush I've made a fool of myself over crush once too, but with K's wife in the hospital after an accident... that's insane. There is a line somewhere and this is definitly crossing
That post made me cringe so hard. Definitely something I'd do when I was 12. But this woman is a grown ass adult. I kept seeing my 12 year old self in that post and had to pause the video multiple times to calm myself from imploding from that level of second-hand embarrassment.
@@Someone-or8tp I can understand how that feels
Ikr ? OP is delusional, immature and so selfish. K is too nice to her mental butt
I won't lie, as soon as I heard about MIL rocking up to OP's house I was thinking the worst in terms of the entitled old battleaxes we normally hear about in these situations. But to hear that the MIL and FIL were completely sympathetic to OP was refreshing and wholesome.
Same, I've heard too many "Karen," posts that I was expecting her to go super evil. But she clearly cared for her daughter in law and more importantly their child. Great woman, shocking that she has such worthless sons.
It's also nice that the MIL and FIL are supportive of the divorce. Most parent-in-laws would force their child's partner to stay despite the underlining issues.
Rockstars! I can see her pinching his ear as she dragged him.
@@TheLordofMetroids upi9😊😊😊
I think the Husband & Brother-in-law are just making excuses to seem like they were just overreacting
Not gonna lie. It never fails to amuse me when rSlash goes from reading normal to slowly morphing into his Karren Voice XD
I love hearing rSlash's voice change when he makes his mind up about whether or not the OP is a good person or not.
I love the Karen voice drop!
😂😂😂yes exactly
I have a feeling that if the story was shorter, he would’ve kept up with the Karen voice.
@@lorilancaster5917 yeah on super long stories he typically doesn't do it all the time
Story 2: Not to detract from the strength of OP but OMG, MIL and FIL are AWESOME humans! The fact that they were willing to call their son out and stand beside OP and help her is amazing!
Op's husband: "Hey, I just learned something that's shattered my sense of security, can you comfort me?"
OP: "Lmao, no. Also, that thing your afraid of is already true."
Op's husband:
@@RealCoolstriker64 yeah, that's not how that conversation went
@@RealCoolstriker64 lmao did you even understand the story 💀
Story from my hometown- a guy was abusing his wife. When she had him arrested and filed for divorce, his parents embraced her and the grandkids and disowned the son.
@@H-to-O i would agree with this, IF he didnt double and TRIPLE down on it, dude was still reluctant to apologize until he heard the baby's gender, dude had at least a week to think about his actions and how he hurt those around him, and he still didnt care enough to look at her in the eye until something he wanted appeared, i agree we need to be more accepting of people emotional failings, but we cant excuse them from the consequences of their continous actions
Final story seems more like OP ended up with most of their stuff and her husband’s family as a door prize. How he’d suddenly feel trapped after several years of marriage seems unreal.
I have a hunch someone put the bug in his ear in his family. I don’t think divorce was the right thing to do
Sometimes it's other people putting ideas in your head.
How she was willing to throw away her marriage after one stupid comment and not go through some sort of counselling shows she probably already wanted to leave, this was just a convenient excuse.
@@auscowboy8950 I kinda get that vibe too. There isn't a lot of forgiveness in this world anymore. Like she nukes a marriage and now creates a situation where her child is going to grow up without her father there for 100% of the time (assuming some visitation and child support), but I've forgiven people who have straight up assaulted me (as have most guys at some point). Women are so fucking vindictive. No wonder why so many guys are going gay, no crazy women gonna baby trap them.
@@evilmotorsports5076 well the thing is, they just found out their friend was baby trapped, the husband had a brain fart moment, which the wife laughed in his face about instead of having a reasonable conversation, then in a matter of days had divorce papers drawn up. Absolutely ridiculous.
You’re right, she had no intention of forgiving the husband, this was just most likely an easy way for her to divorce him.
Good for you Rslash! So happy you’re taking time for yourself!
Get well soon rslash
Really ironic (apart from him definitely not reading comments anyway) is that he's not even present to see this.
Story 2 - The grandparents scolding their son for his shit behavior was a breath of fresh air.
I've got the perfect solution.
The husband from the second story should get together with the psycho from the first story! Then he can know what trapping REALLY feels like (notice I didn't say "baby trapping" -- this dude would for sure end up locked in a windowless room under some house waiting every day for "wifey" to get home)
L mom ngl
nah justp roves OP's husband has no one loyal around him except his brother
I tough first op was going to talk about how she fell for the neighbor who is a single dad, my face fell when she revealed HE IS MARRIED. Also, I’m very sure she treated his kids like garbage and like she was already a stepmom and that’s why they didn’t like her. I’m so glad neighbor found out about this because op needs professional help
I know. I remember first reading the story and thinking, "oh this may be kind of cute". And then I was horrified like three sentences in when it said he had a wife and kids...
OP did not even earn the title stepmom in the first place. When Kevin entrusted OP to watch the kids, it does not mean babysit the kids. OP broke Kevin's trust. What OP did was break into Kevin's house just to boss Kevin's kids around. So basically, OP is not even a stepmom. OP is a creepy neighbor who broke into Kevin's house and complained about getting mistreated by Kevin's kids.
I would think OP must of claimed Keven to be a single dad because OP did not want to admit Kevin is married.
@@hp2546 Nah she admits pretty much right away he's married with kids. So she ain't even trying to hide the crazy.
I'm so glad RSlash is taking a break! He absolutely needs one after all the depressing stories he's covered!
Good for you! As a father of a 10 months old, I totally understand where you are at, and I'm really happy for you that you allowed yourself to have this well deserved break. Take care
Awe congrats man!
congrats!
For the last story I can somewhat understand the husband freaking out a bit but when OP broke it down saying that they have been married for 7 years and that having a child was a mutual decision he really should have realized there was no trap involved.
Exactly- like- irrational fears are normal to have. But OP literally went “we’ve been married 7 years, we planned this. It is not a trap” and he still flipped out UNTIL he heard OP was having a girl
Good on MIL and FIL for being actual good humans and good grandparents
Plus let's be honest. OP says in her post that she makes three times what her husband does owns. The house has more money and they send a prenup. They agreed together to try for a child and have been actively trying for over a year. What exactly about that leads to her wanting to trap him? Not every insecurity that flits across your lizard brain is worth indulging in. And he didn't just indulge in it. He ran with it and went to Mexico. Can barely call this guy a man.
Also, he's allowed to be afraid of being a father. Of course you are. It's terrifying to become a parent. But what you're not allowed to do is accuse your wife of one of the worst things a person can do to someone that isn't an actual crime. And then when they don't automatically follow their knees and beg for forgiveness, you storm out of the house, allow your brother to verbally abuse them through text and only come back to apologize when Mommy makes you. So if this truly was he was just afraid to be a father. He should have had that conversation with his wife not make accusations.
Keep the grandparents! Ditch the idiot who didn't seem tyo give to shits until he learned that he was having a daughter. Not once did he give a single full hearted apology.
Good for you man take the break. It's good to take a step back from all the toxicity of reddit and clear your head.
Take care of yourself, dabney.
Also, I love how rslash turned op's voice in the first story into his Karen voice as soon as the sentence "I never had trouble getting attention of men,..." came up.
His name's dabney
I think this post is from a parallel dimension.

Final story: I’m glad OP saw through it and didn’t take him back, but OP’s husband suddenly being overjoyed about having a baby girl makes me wonder how he would have acted if it happened to be a boy.
I was thinking OP would tell him the wrong gender just to mess with him.
for many people the baby having a gender makes it more real that there is a tiny human, instead of just some abdominal swelling and vague future plans
it was in that moment he realized that HE also wanted the child
She didn't see anything tho. She didn't see how essentially saying "you're ALREADY trapped" made things worse, she didn't see how LITERALLY laughing off her partners concerns made this worse, and she also didn't see that pregnancy can be hard on the FATHER's mental health too, along with the fact that the revelation that US family courts are pretty stacked in favor of the mother is a REALLY scary thing for a man to realize.
The only thing she saw was Toxic Masculinity saying that men should never have a moment of weakness and shouldn't need support from their partners.
@@RealCoolstriker64 A moment of weakness is very different from claiming your wife of over half a decade baby trapped you when you actively planned and tried for that child. The guy did not truly acknowledged or apologize for his wrong doing, he just made excuses for running away and said the bare minimum to try to get her back.
I am all for people needing support. I am all for dismantling toxic masculinity. However, that requires proper communication, not stonewalling and abandoning your pregnant partner.
@@karinagutierrez7134 and getting divorce papers the day after your husband came to you with concerns, laughing in his face, and then getting pissed because he’s not next to you when you wake up?
OP is the toxic one here. The husband is in dire need of therapy/counselling, and the wife jumps straight to divorce.
Just goes to show how toxic women can really be, most likely would have jumped at any excuse to divorce the husband, and in a moment of mental weakness, she saw this as opportunity. I feel sorry for the kid growing up with a mum like that.
For the last story, all the husband had to do was to be honest and say he was scared of being a dad. They could have talked it through or gone to counseling.
Exactly being scared of being a parent whether it's a mother or father is a Perfectly Natural response to the stress and the responsibility of raising a human being. But the come at it like you did in such a toxic way craziness.
I agree but although his actions were extremely stupid I think throwing away 7 years of marriage because of that is exagerated. She says he didnt apologize which is shitty too but sometimes actions speak louder than words like the reaction to the gender reveal. Also she shouldnt have left him with the thought that he might still have a chance, while already being sure to divorce him and should have told him during the dinner. Yes, he fucked up huge, but its a stupid fuck up, not calculated & vindictive. Still her decision but I think a 2nd chance after 7 years with a coming baby with some rules set by her could be an option as well.
I’m gonna be honest, I feel like the husband was also letting the friend talk in his ear too much too, I feel like what happened is he started talking to the friend who got baby trapped and since the friend had such a negative and malicious entry to fatherhood that’s all that happened. It’s like those stories you hear about people reading about cheating spouses and become convinced their spouse is cheating and end up ruining their relationships.
I feel like the husbands friend started rattling off about baby trapping and that mixed with the anxiety of being a new father and he just convinced himself of it as well and saw a way out. Which is horrible that it was so easy for him to loose any and all affection like that to begin with
Even f he felt baby trapped, he could have talked it out with his mom or dad before saying such awful shit TO OP. Instead he threw away his whole life on an irrational and illogical thought.
@Handstyles she not throwing it away. He threw it away the second he accused her of some pretty terrible things. Actions that if anybody is guilty of would mean they're fundamentally a terrible awful human being at the very core of their person. And then not only that he allows his brother to harass her and sent her that awful text message. As a psychologist the amount of people that think that therapy is some magic bullet that's going to make everyone forget how awful you treat them is craziness. A lot of times the outcome of therapy and marriage counselling is it's time for divorce it's time to move on. All marriage counselling does in a situation like this is beat a dead horse. And this so you got to give them a chance and you know people make mistakes and why people stay in a relationship that's toxic and abusive and manipulative and full of gaslighting. Because God forbid they do something that's just for them and move on.
There are only a handful of people I will listen to read Reddit posts. Your channel is the only channel I listen to EVERY SINGLE DAY. Thank you for doing what you do. Have a beautiful vacation with your family. We’ll be here when you get back💗💗
Homeboy in the last story got the opposite of baby trapped. Also his mom is a BAMF. I like to imagine she was literally dragging him in the house by his ear.

That's fair. However, it's still better to not have stress and underlying stuff coloring your opinions, too.
@@horseluver4ever623
Both tbh. I think they only said wrong because sometimes his opinion forms from a piece of context he missed or something
@@SoftKid123 Sometimes Rslash will do a AITA video and give ratings to people who don’t deserve them. In the comments, we usually guess that it’s because either the topic was a little personal for him, or he’s just going off what all the other comments say, thinking that’s what we’d all agree with here too
The satisfaction of the MIL and FIL being on OPs side during that last story was immeasurable.
You reap what you sow, I can’t help but wonder if he’d been thinking about their relationship before this “BabY TraPpInG” incident.
I mean you don’t just spend 7 years with someone, try to have a kid with them and then run for the hills at the slightest hint of speculation or conspiracy if everything is hunky dory and you have no thoughts of leaving at all or smthn.
And then he didn’t even really apologize, pathetic really 🙄
Nah I think he’s just a raging misogynist who sees him and other men as victims when they’re not 🙄
I would take a look at the MIL and find out what she did to raise such men that have trust issues. I am seeing everyone celebrating the destruction of a marriage, hastened by the ones celebrating it but have no understanding of the trust issues going on. Do not be surprised if we get an update where he self deleted.
Oh, and the divorce lawyer is doing it for one thing, to make money, and not some altruistic bs.

Second story was super empowering to read and I’m so glad she’s putting herself and her daughter first. Also bless her MIL for being so understanding and putting her sons in their place.

I hope he isn't so destroyed by their abuse that he chases after them forever. She'll just feel more contempt for him the more he grovels. Guarantee it's only a matter of time before MIL and OP stop bonding over their mutual contempt of the ex-husband and OP turns on the MIL refusing her and her son visitation etc.....

Glad you're taking a short break for yourself Rslash, definitely deserve it after you and your editor continually provide us with videos day after day. Hope you' have a great week!
Yeah I think he needs it to have a clear view since we have notice his bad takes on some of this stories especially on the AITA vids I definatly noticed
Almost fell over laughing when I heard he sent her the post she made
Also if you loved someone you wouldn't wish ill on them
Story 1 - It is good to see that someone shared her story to that guy because it just shows that someone out there is going to read such stories and just know who you are talking about. Honestly, that guy really dodged a bullet. I honestly hope that guy takes out a restraining order against that psychoB
Story 2 - God, Karma bit back hard at that husband and his own parents disowned him, and I honestly would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when MIL went and spoke to him because she sounds to be a force of Nature you do NOT want to mess with. Honestly, all those years marriage and that guy throws it away like that.
You've definitely been a lot more dour and cynical recently, but you're clearly a super positive guy! I hope this break recharges you and gets you back to base, and I hope you enjoy your vacation, Rslash!
I think he’s entitled back. It’s super easy to make these videos . He needs to work two days a week and he’s stressed. You’re all a bunch of bootlickers for believing that garbage!
This is his full time job. A small vacation wont change it. It's just the natural outcome of a reddit youtuber. He'll be back to being a cynical realist in about a week. People suck, that's how it is
The final story, I'm so glad OP pulled the plug on her husband. I wish her the best.
yup, a cautionary tale.
"oh, you feel babytrapped in this house that I own? Here are some divorce papers, fly away free." And that MIL knows who's more likely to let her visit the grandkid, good call on her.

I'm so happy RSlash is finally taking a brake! He works so hard and everyone deserves some self care and a brake. Congrats on your vacation!
*break
"How can you just throw away our marriage " Dude literally was ready to throw away the relationship
I am addicted to this story because I love watching the outcome of OP being destroyed by her hopeless longing for a Married Man. It's adorable she thought she had a chance.😂
Rslash took you long enough to realize you need a break! Thank you for all your commentary over the years, keeping me busy and sharing stories with us! We all appreciate the content you make and push out, And Thanks to the editor too! They put in the work to push your videos out and you both deserve a break! Now get out there and enjoy your time with your wife and daughter 💜💜
First Story: Wow, um ok. OP is crazy. I was questioning what she meant when she said "I don’t know if he has feelings for me yet"; in my head I was like 'um, what does she mean by that? This man is married and have kids.' Now, OP is talking about loving Kevin, saying she would love to be a step-mom, believes that they aren’t happy (somehow, the kids are "proof" of this), and is assuming that they will get a divorce. Even if they do get a divorce for whatever reason OP makes up in her head, what makes OP think that Kevin will go for her? OP's behavior is what will result in a restraining order being placed against her by Kevin and his family. Oh my god lmaoooo. I legit started laughing when I saw the part where Kevin sent the Reddit link 😂😂😂😂😂. Yooooo this story got even better. My suspecious were correct (shocking right?) Kevin does NOT have feelings for OP and this is all in her head. She brought this on herself. That gave me a good laugh
Comment: I agree 100%. OP needs to seek a therapist or something because this behavior isn’t normal
OP's Comment: Wooow OP is so delusional it is hilarious. Like I said in my comment, lets say they do get a divorce what makes OP think Kevin would go to her? That being said, I can safely assume Kevin does not have romantic feelings for OP. I feel like OP has some sort of trauma from her past relationship so bad that any man who is remotely nice to her she automatically catches feelings for them and then goes into this state.
Second Story: Wow um ok. OP's husband don’t know the definition of baby trapping because this isn’t being baby trapped. The situation with his friend WAS a baby trap; this sounds like a mutual agreement to try for a baby. First off, MIL is an absolute legend; usually, most MILs would take the side of their kid before anyone else but thankfully this MIL is a smart woman and didn’t believe her son's bs. I agree, what he did is divorce worthy. Also, if this man was so scared to be a dad why did he agree to try for a baby in the first place??? Wow, OP's in laws are amazing; I really like how much they defended and supported OP throughout their son's mess ups. I find it hilarious how this man is crying and asking if OP is "really going to throw away their family like this" when HIS actions are the cause of him losing his family. Imagine accusing someone of baby trapping when you BOTH was trying for a baby for a year. He brought all of this on himself and it all could’ve been avoided if he stopped and think about things

I can't agree more. I've called Dabney out on some of the bad takes before and the fact that he's used it a a sign that he needs a break is amazing. Go recharge, chill and makes some happy memories with your family. It can only do you good.
@@Arc3752 Not everyone is going to agree all of the time. One persons bad take is anothers different opinion.
@@It-is-me...MelsieThe issue was that his opinions seemed so toxic and strangely contradicted compared to his older statements. It led many people, myself included, to theorize that he was inciting conflict to promote discussion. That pattern and it's artificialness was the problem, not the dissenting opinions.
Have a nice vacation rSlash!! I can't believe this is the first time you took an actual break from this channel, I first listened to you when I was in high school and now I'm about to graduate college. Damn time flies fast.
My conspiracy theory for the first story is is that the oldest daughter, maybe caught a vibe that OP was trying to be a homewrecker, so she purposefully convinced her sibling to go crazy so the younger one would go crazy as well and she acted like a rebellious teenager on purpose to scare OP away lol
Take your time. No matter how much you love some things, if you don’t take a break, it will wear you down
Last Story: The husband is definatly bonkers for implying babytrapping. I agree with OP that I would not want a partner that just leaves as soon as things get hard. But that also applies to OP. Not sure if instant divorce was “sticking around” when things get hard on her end either. Personally, would have gone to couples counceling first, especially because the marriage seemed to have been good otherwise. but yeah. Each their own.
Agreed. Unless there's more that we're not being told, OP's husband having what was quite clearly a fight-or-flight response to th3 fears of fatherhood is not grounds for divorce.
No, I don't think that I don't see why being in a relationship with someone who's going to accuse you of something so fundamentally awful is worth your time. He didn't just panic about fatherhood he accused her of some pretty toxic, pretty terrible behavior. That in Canada, in fact, is against the law and is a federal offense. And I'm pretty sure Canada isn't the only country. Paternity fraud messing with birth control those are serious serious things to accuse someone up. Not only did he accuse her, but he also got his brother to got him to harasser her. Instead of coming back and apologizing on his own, he had to be dragged there like an odd toddler by his mummy. This is more than just we're going through a rough patch. This is mental abuse, and this is gas-lighting. They both agreed to have this child they've been in a relationship for 7 years. He's using the excuse of I was afraid to be a father for his deplorable behavior. Being afraid of Parenthood and scared of the responsibility that comes with it is a normal thing, and it's completely understandable. What this guy did was not. Just so you're aware, you don't have to stay in a relationship with someone if you don't want to. No reason is reason enough not to be in a relationship with someone.
@Amy McLean yeah but this wasn't just fear fatherhood this was accusing her of some pretty terrible things. Also couple counselling isn't going to fix everything. People need to stop thinking that therapies a Magic Bullet that's going to fix everything. I work in Psychology and sometimes even with therapy the best result is to divorce walk away or leave the situation. No amount of therapy is going to wash away the memories of him accusing her of some awful awful things. Then allowing his brother to continue the harassment. And only coming back to apologize when his mummy made him. No amount of counselling is going to fix that. No amount of counselling is going to make her lose those memories. She knows what she can get over and what she can't. And she doesn't owe an explanation to you or me or him or anyone else. And the fact that his mother agrees with her should tell you a lot about the situation.
I posted above but I feel she wanted out and this was the perfect excuse or the final straw she needed and it was a slow build up of a non happy relationship during the 7 years.
i agree. like yes she has every right to leave him, and the revenge part of me loves that she did, but the guy seems like not the brightest bulb. He probably listened to his friend's strife so much he projected it and made an idiotic rash mistake-- and which does NOT make it okay-- but there's still coming back from it if he truly feels sorry, etc.
There's lines that should never be crossed, but they're different for everyone-- clearly that was too far for OP and i respect that. I guess I just personally feel like, assuming everything besides that in their relationship was good (Like a fairytale she said), with seven years of marriage and a baby on the way, it'd be worth it to at least *see* if he was willing to put in the effort to redeem himself and rectify his mistakes. But OP didn't want to take a chance of being hurt more, which I also totally get. Like you said, each their own.
(that's all assuming this story is true and not just karma farming, but that's reddit for ya)
Have a good vacation! Hope you have fun with the fam!
And seriously, consider doing one wholesome subreddit everyone in awhile. I know they don’t attract as much attention as the crazy ones but you deserve it! I literally watch your videos on repeat and I’m sure a lot of other people do too. We come for you and stay for the content. ❤
story 2: finally some in-laws who stand up for their daughter-in-law. such a breath of fresh air.
For the 1st story kids are pretty perceptive I wouldn't be surprised if the oldest caught on to OP and her intentions and that's why they supposedly acted that way
RSlash I’m so glad you’re taking a break, I have listened to you every night for at least 2 years, maybe 3 , and I’ve been so grateful for these videos.
Listening your life get better and better (girlfriend-> Fiance -> Wife), you talking about your daughter, and giving your honest opinions on stories has made you such a unique creator that has a very important place in my heart.
Thanks for always being there, for being a constant.
I’m so proud of you, rSlash!! I don’t think you’ve been grumpy, just tired. You’re human. Have a great vacation!
Kids can sense evil😂 The kids are stressed that their Dad had to leave them with someone they don’t know.
She heard him talk about his wife non-stop but didn't clue in on how much he loves his wife. Top tier femcel.
Or rather she wants to keep her inner narrative of her ideal love story.
Good choice Rslash! You definitely deserve this vacation, especially after you’ve been reading stories for so long. I hope you have an incredible vacation with your family
I'm glad we're good enough of a community to wholesomely remind rslash to take a break once in a while and be happy for him when he finally does 🤗💖
I see you in rslash comment sections a lot and seeing your pfp always makes me happy :)
The fact that Op even insisted on trying to get into her neighbours pants without seeing the consequences of her actions like trying to start an affair and potentially ruin her neighbours life.
Jeez, that first story was like the Lifetime channel and the Investigation Discovery channel had a drug fueled night of passion that resulted in some sort of crazy crack baby.
I was thinking one of the updates would reveal that OP somehow manufactured the wife’s accident.
1:25 this isnt only best of redditor updates...its also best of our favorite youtuber updates.
Flipping hell, I was listening to the first story when I was on my morning walk, and when “Kevin” replied with the link to the post, I couldn’t help but yell out OH SHITTTTT when other people were walking the other direction, was so awkward
Also, really glad Rslash is taking time off, he deserves it!
The best update of the video was Rslash taking that break he's deserved for so long!
So glad you’re taking some time for yourself, rSlash!!
With that last story, my first thought was “awesome MIL for the WIN!” It’s so depressingly rare that we hear about in-laws who are so supportive & kind, especially in situations like that. Glad the OP was so blessed with awesome in-laws who want to be involved with the grandbaby.
I’m happy to hear you’re taking time off rslash! I’ve watched your content since the start of this channel and listen every day still. I hope you enjoy your much deserved and needed break and thanks for always delivering some of the best content ❤
That MIL from the second story is a gem of a human being! Also, I genuinely think that the friend of OP's ex planted an idea in his head. Why else would he randomly switch from wanting a family to the baby trapping accusations?
As an early morning worker, im always looking forward to watching your videos the minute they come out. Love ya Dabney! Take care of your mental health ❤️
First story: I grew up in a healthy, loving home and I had similar issues with my siblings (namely, my strong-willed, expressive little sister who would never do anything because I'm "not her mom"). If kids aren't listening to you, it's because you're doing something to disrespect them in their eyes.
Mental health is very important. Taking the time to heal is a good idea.
That's definitely what OP from Story 1 needs, because her behavior and obsession with the neighbor is straight up unhealthy as RSlash said. Absolutely mental
I'm so glad you are taking time to care for yourself and spend time with your family. We'll be here to like all your videos when you get back
Story 1 - OP deleting her posts doesn't change anything. That cat's long gone from the bag and left only its sh-t behind.
This man taking a break and still promising to upload daily is so amazing. love the dedication. Will watch every single one!
Have a good break! The "baby trapped" husband tho LOL. I feel bad for OP but at least she won't get a flaky husband.
And it looks like she’ll get the in-laws in the divorce.
Happy to hear Rslash taking a break. Hope you enjoy, bro!
When OP #1 started going off about Kevin and his wife being Polar opposites, it became clear that OP has never heard of the concept of opposites attract.
You enjoy your well deserved vacation. You deserve it.
Also.... OP in story 1 is a.... cerrtain garden tool. But that update with the screen shots.... GLORIOUS!!!
Keven shut her down so hard 🤣🤣🤣
So glad to hear Dr. Dab is getting a well deserved vacation! I hope you enjoy yourself and get to spend some nice quality time with the family (or being a gremlin and enjoying some nice alone time like I do on my vacations!) Enjoy yourself!
Psychology is complicated and given statistics around intact families I'd personally say that divorce is on the extreme side of things. According to OP, however, he didn't even genuinely apologize for his mental breakdown, so I can empathize. She and their daughter were collateral and apologizing bare minimum. Though, I still think she should hold off until he gets intensive therapy and they go to marriage counseling.
Nah, the whole intact family thing is stupid and seems to be a white thing
Moron hubby: "I'll have the octuple bacon lardburger, eight orders of chili cheese fries, and a sundae the size of a bathtub."
Fast food worker: "Here's your order, sir."
Moron hubby: "Oh my god, are you trying to make me fat?!"
OP says "If it happens" all the time while still acting like it's inevitable that Kevin would leave his wife for her. I'm hoping that Kevin finding the post and flat out rejecting her will give her a much needed reality check, but odds are high that she'll start acting like Kevin was a massive d-bag who lead her on.
Except she deleted the post as if that will save her butt, which shows that she won't change anytime soon. And I am convinced that this behavior of OP is why her long term boyfriend broke up with her and why they had the messy break up.
That lady in "love" with her neighbor, is in love with the idea of him, and how he is, but not actually in love with him, and she is a major stalker
R/slash, I’ve been a fan of yours for like 3.5 years. I love all these reddit stories and I am amazed by the fact you upload every single day. Your personal inputs into the story gives this channel so much personality compared to other ones like it. I don’t know how you still haven’t reached 2 millions subscribers yet. You work very hard and I’m glad to hear you are taking a break. You deserve it king
Glad to hear that your taking care of yourself, your mental state and your family all in one!! Enjoy your vacation!! You deserve it for everything you’ve done and even sacrificed to make this channel a success!! We’re not going anywhere’s so enjoy every second of your vacation and get recharged cuz burnout is real
Last story:
I understand having doubts about being a good father. I also understand about not having your fears validated and feeling shamed when you expressed them especially if you cannot articulate your what your emotions are at the moment. What I dont understand is once you realize yiu made a mistake, why don't he grovel? Ask her wifes forgiveness. Instead he went accused her of "throwing their relationship". And OP said they were friends before they got married.. To me means they are used to talkung to each other with out judgement.. But from turn after turn he is making the wrong steps.
I agree with OP. If the husband bulks at the idea of this very big responsibility, would he "panic" again if he deemed himself not ready? He would have to gain OPs trust all over again. Chocolates and crying wont do it.
😂😂 8:30....Lmfao no FUCKING WAY, I'm SCREAMING. This is the Reddit drama I live for.
Have a good vacation my guy! I’ve probably listened to literally ever single episode of yours!
I can clearly tell that this woman definitely peaked in highschool, she probably broke everyone's relationships in highschool
First story: I know plenty of people with Bipolar personality disorder including family members, I’m not a medical professional, but there is a trend where they think people are in love with them or they are dreaming of having a life with someone who is very obviously not in love with or available or even flirting with them. It could be just a manic state for this woman.
Hey rslash, hope you have a wonderful vacation, you deserve it more than anyone
Have a great vacation! Spend lots of time with your wife and Lily!
I've listened to you since the early days, Dabney. I recognize your voice to the point where if I hear other people listening to you, we jump into conversation about how much we love your commentary.
I've recently noticed a grumpier side of myself due to the influence of the internet, and I actually hadn't realized it until you talked openly about what was going on in your head.
I hope you enjoy your vacation, and the time with your wife and daughter!
You know, it seems that lately everywhere I go on the internet, people catch and spread like this depression bug or something. I feel it too.
Even on wholesome Instagram profiles I follow. Last year had lots of positive and supportive people but nowadays, they get drowned out by passive aggressive, bored, downright Debbie downer comments.
Maybe we can all use an internet detox.
The news of rslash going on a break really is the best of redditor updates!!
Enjoy your break Dabney, you deserve it 🙂
I have never seen anyone go so delusional so quickly it is so scary.
whoa, that voice change around 3 minutes in was so creepy lol.
5:15 thank god. tbh i WAS expecting rSlash to feel sorry for her. he has a history of just siding with whoever the storyteller is 99% of the time.
The ego on this woman to think that the only way these kids could hate her in a divorce is if the mother poisoned them against her and not the fact that she’s the other woman. Also, the fact that she thinks the mother would do that shows to me that OP lacks the grace and compassion to keep children out of marriage problems since she’s projecting on the mother. OP even acknowledges how easy it would be for the kids to hate her since she’s trying to sleep with a married man
Damn, that last story was a little extreme. I mean he panics because he isn't sure he's ready and he loses his family because of it? Man.
But at the same time I see her side of it, and if she feels detached from the situation as his wife, that isn't something you usually come back from.
Tough break man
I don’t see his side at all. He “panicked” by accusing his pregnant wife of baby trapping him for no other reason than it happened to his friend, nothing she did. If he was worried and scared, he should’ve sat her down and talked to her. He didn’t. He unfairly accused his wife, used her shock and confusion as justification for his behavior and ditched her. He didn’t lose his family because his panicked. Heck, he only started actually apologizing at the meeting, when he found out the gender of his baby. He lost them because he acted like a coward and abandoned his wife
@Art_museum28 his response was bad. Nobody is saying it wasn't, but it was also very human. He didn't "abandon" anyone. He ran away and hid because he panicked.
It's not like he packed up his house, refused to pay bills, and left, THAT'S abandoning his wife. You could say he emotionally abandoned her in that moment, which is horrible, but it's still not so horrible that a man should lose his entire family over a weak moment.
The punishment doesn't fit the crime at all.
But like I said, if she felt disconnected, that's tough to come back from for a full-grown man. Never mind a guy who clearly has some growing up and maturing to do.
I agree with you in how he should've handled it, but not handling it like that shouldn't mean you lose everything forever.
That's just too much

1. That IS abandonment
2. Not only did he run away to his parents, he tried to turn them against OP
3. His panic doesn’t mean he accuse his wife of doing awful stuff to hurt him
4. If his response to being panicked about being a father is to accuse his wife of baby trapping, why should OP stick around
5. OP’s trust is broken. She can’t trust him to communicate with her, to entrust him with a safe area to talk to, and she can’t trust that he won’t just slander unfairly do extended family when he’s panicked
The punishment fits the crime. She can’t trust him as her husband anymore and that’s his fault. It’s human for her to not want to be with a man who just accuses her of hurting him with a baby he didn’t consent to having (when this is a baby they tried having for a year)
@Art_museum28 I don't disagree with anything you said. From her perspective, everything you said is spot on.
And I agree with everything you said about him, but the distinction is that he is a young guy, clearly immature, and he made a mistake.
I don't want to undersell it, but I've the course of a marriage, 10 years from now, both of them would tell that story and laugh at it.
To throw it all away, when you have a new family, that's just excessive, IMO.
If he was violent, cheating, or crossed any of those lines, I would be right there with you 100%.
But to throw everything away when it was clearly an immature reaction that once he grows up probably isn't going to repeat, it just feels like a little much.
I hope that once he grows up a bit, she gives him a chance to fight for his family.
@@jdzspace33 She DID give him a chance, by waiting until the meeting for him to make a move. This was his mess to clean up and he just made a bigger storm
In all honesty, it doesn’t even sound like this was a mistake. It feels like he was trying to weasel his way out of his marriage while making OP look bad and used what happened to his friend as his way of doing so. None of the whatever excuses he has or his age changes the fact that he abandoned his wife alone and went off to slander her to his family. Heck, the fact he was trying to slander her to his family but only stopped because of his mom is grounds for leaving him. It’s not fair that you’re saying she should give him another chance just because of his excuses and the fact he didn’t cheat on or abuse her. He still betrayed her even if it wasn’t with someone else. He still hurt her, even if he didn’t get physical. He still did wrong and cross a huge line. He accused his wife of doing something horrible to him when she did nothing wrong and tried to throw her name into the mud.
He isn’t even sorry. His first response to hearing he was going to have a daughter was to act like his wife would just magically forgive him. The fact he’s not taking her feelings into account proves he’s not really sorry. The fact he’s only apologizing after hearing the gender of the baby and his wife saying she doesn’t want him home proves he’s not sorry.
He’s not even genuinely sorry and even if he was, he can’t make this right. This was too big of a betrayal
