2023: The regulatory body further calls BetterHelp to pay $7.8 million to consumers as a part of a settlement over allegations it shared sensitive health information with third parties such as social media platforms and digital advertisers. The FTC says the company doubled down on deception by falsely denying it had shared consumers' personal information - including their health information - with third parties. The eight-count complaint details how the FTC says BetterHelp's allegedly deceptive and unfair practices harmed consumers. The professional TH-camrs, who shared personal mental health struggles as part of their ads, faced backlash when it came out that they were paid for each customer who signed up for BetterHelp through their unique links-sometimes up to $200 per person. Do not trust the BetterHelp therapists. They are so sketch," said O'Hara. "My one session with a BetterHelp therapist retraumatized me to the point where I don't know if I'll ever go back to therapy again." O'Hara alleged the therapist was confused by her diagnosis of CPTSD (complex post-traumatic stress disorder), seemingly not understanding what the term meant, and expected the patient to describe the differences between CPTSD and PTSD.
Honestly, thanks to his AITA videos i know rslash reads his comments. And ive noticed his recordings promoting betterhelp are less enthusiastic too. I think hes stuck in a contract with them and is just waiting to get rid of them. Which sucks for him to be honest.
@@bizzybee_animations boo hoo - maybe he should come out with the info on how many sponsorships he's contracted to do right now so we can count them down with him.
Honestly the biggest dog whistle of the entire post was the wife referring to her clearly Bi husband as gay… hun if he is so good in bed, either she reminds him of a man or he’s also attracted to women.
Story 4: Holy sh*t, OP took "So you have chosen, death" quite literally. I honestly don't blame her for doing that. I have no sympathy for people who commits foul acts like this.
This reminds me of a reddit story that I think r/slash has done before: The wife of the story was abused by her narcissistic husband and one of the ways that he would get under her skin would be to take a bunch of pills and have her find him with enough time for her to call an ambulance in order to save his life he would gaslight the wife for driving him to take all those meds. When the wife recognized that was what her husband was doing the overdose thing again she just sat down on the couch and waited until it was far too long before calling the paramedics, since the guy had a known history of abusing medication they ruled it a suicide and wife lived free from then on.
@@TheVoicesOfTheBeyond if he didn’t sign a contract with them then he’s just ignoring every single comment calling out betterhelp. If he did, then he signed a contract with an incredibly scummy company without doing even a bit of research. Signing a contract with a company that preys on mentally vulnerable people for money and advertising that to 2 million people without doing research is very very scummy
@@1nn1tmate I don't think he's done it maliciously. And I know he's not scummy. I've had a few interactions before with him on TH-cam/Twitter [now X]. I sent him a tweet about it the first time he did a sponsored ad.
@@QuietChaos1996 maybe not maliciously but he’s only looking out for money. He got into this deal with such a horrible company which exploits the mentally ill for money without doing a shred of research before promoting it to about 2 million people. Tell me what’s not scummy about that
Honestly can't even blame the people that dislike videos solely for the BetterHelp ad. That company is horrid and accused of selling your information, and the "therapists" on there are horribly unprofessional.
@@jessislistlessdoes it matter? This is well documented issues with the company. I don't need to have personal experience with lava, to know that touching lava is bad.
@@immorttalis I say the best therapy is r/slash once a day... but seriously just check for help out there if you need actual help. I am sure there are services out there that are credible and can do amazing work to improve you.
That's not the only thing that BetterHelp has done. They also have a policy that says they're not responsible for anything that their "therapists" tell people. And a lot of the "therapists" on their site aren't actually licensed.
@@bigjalapeno7061 there’s been tons and tons of videos on them. Getting into a sponsorship which makes vulnerable and mentally weak people pay money without doing any research just for a quick buck is scummy
@@bigjalapeno7061 That's exactly why I don't think he knew. Some TH-camrs wouldn't do any deep dives on BetterHelp because of the fact that they [BetterHelp] practically sweep everything under the rug. Eventually, that rug will be too big to hide anything anymore.
THANK YOU!!! Lol I feel like I'm always writing that on the videos of YTers who keep getting sponsored by them and yet, they don't do their research and keep advertising them. smh
Story 3: The best salt in the wound was the fact that he got rejected by his mistress. So his cheating was worth NOTHING, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! Meanwhile, OP is living her best life with a much, much better man. Oh, and again, unrelated to the post, definitely don't take anymore BetterHelp sponsorships. I don't know why they're still giving them out, but don't take them.
@@marukouga135 but instead of confronting him on year one, she took advantage of his money for the next nine already knowing about the cheating and drove the guy to alcoholism, left and ruined his life. I get that cheating is bad, I've been cheated on before myself but... you should never take it that far.
@@jacoby-flower She said so herself that she's not that big on monogamy just like her parents so she probably would agree. And she was only vindictive because she was being cheated on.
Hey R/Slash, I would probably try to not partner with better help, they have been known to doxs the therapist's that work with them and just give all of their personal information out. Just a thought and just to give you a little bit more information, love your content❤
@@arielcooke6027 Oh, I know. Pewdiepie proves that, before they updated their policy, it said that they aren't liable for whatever advice that their "therapists" tell their clients.
That last story reminds me of one where it was a teenage boy at school who got you know what from a female teacher and no one believe them. Then 1 day I think it was from the stairs that the same teacher fell down onto the floor and was bleeding. OP saw it and then step over her. I think I can't recall what was said but the principal asked why you didn't help and he responded, you all did not believe me the first time. I wonder what was going through that Grandpa's mind when he realized he wasn't getting helped
That was from r/askreddit asking what were people's "A child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth" moment. I loved how Dabney incorporated a Batman Begins quote in his commentary: "I'm not gonna kill you, but I'm not going to save you."
Dammit R/slash, I love the video but stop it already with the Better Help promos. It's well known how scummy they are, their therapists are not licensed and only out for their own gain. They're a huge danger to people who are ALREADY in an extremely vulnerable mental state. I don't know how much they're paying you, but it can't be enough to put people in danger over it. This is more than just a bad product, it's actively dangerous. Please stop promoting them. EDIT: I honestly don't care much about the "contract" excuse, even if it's true. First of, it's up to the creator to inform themselves about a sponsor, and to have a contract lawyer read them over before signing anything so as to not get screwed. Secondly, they should always make sure they have an out to end the sponsorship if they feel the sponsor is being shitty.
Other people have mentioned it, but it's very likely he's under some sort of contract to promote them. He most likely is legally incapable of dropping the sponsorship until the contract runs out.
@@cinderstreaks4507his fault for getting in a contract with a company that people have been exposing for upwards of 5 years and exploiting the vulnerable for money
Story number 4 sounds like a very similar story from a while back. About a girl who was in girls scouts or something like that. Grandfather was the terrible person. She saw him having a heart attack in the living room. Recognized the signs due to some training from girl scouts or something. And sat in the chair and watched the life leave his eyes before mentioning it tom someone. Only bring it up cause I've heard so many off shoots with slightly altered details. This story lives like a phoenix in the nuclearrevenge sub. Rekindling the story anew every so often. Still a great story. Just caught the similarities.
When you watch/listen/read enough stories, you will start to notice their similarities. How do you think Joseph Campbell came up with the monomyth AKA the hero's journey?
There's a story that was about the OP taking his sister in after their parents died & the gf having a problem with it, then a year or so later the same EXACT same story was told, with only the sister now being a brother instead, I'm 💯 convinced someone was just to lazy to come up with one that they used the same story only changing 1 detail.
Hey r/slash I really would not support betterhelp. They are known to really not care about you and actively have harmed more than helped. I get a paid advert is a paid advert but the health of the people who watch you is far more important than a few dollars. Phillip had to come out and say why he doesn't support them and some of the things they've done and if anything I'd recommend giving that a listen to. x_x
The last story... I was mollested from the age of 12 to 16 years old by my grandfather my dad's dad. You're probably thinking why I grew up to be a teenager until he stopped... he was the leader of the family and everyone feared him. I strongly believe my aunts knew and let me be the scapecoat while my dad was overseas so their daughters wouldn't be tainted...I tried telling people but didn't fully know how to talk about it and people told me to shut up. I was a sheltered Arab girl. When I was 16 I finally managed to squirm and act like I was going to help my grandmother in the kitchen. I think he sensed I didn't want to be around him. I started telling dad when he was around if I could skip going to my grandparents. One time I was going to skip but my little sister and brother, my sister being 6 and brother being 3 wanted to go. I suddenly realized I HAD to go to protect them. My grandfather kept trying to have them sit on his lap, to have my sister go to his room, etc. It was heart breaking watching all this unfold to my little sister so I would walk with them and not let them out of my sight. I told my sister my grandfather's knees hurt so don't sit on his lap, but after a quick bathroom break she was on his lap and I felt so sickened. Anyways... fast forward to being 19 years old, and I told my dad after we went back to live in the states. My dad wasn't a good guy either and said "so you'd put your old man grandfather in jail?" And after years of boiling pain I responded "Baba if you ever touch my kids like that I will kill you." I said it with such poison in my voice. He knew I was serious. He made me go to my room. My grandmother fell ill. He went back to our country to see her and told her before she died. She cried on her deathbed... she wasn't the best person in the world but she wasn't evil so I hold no mallice to her. She managed to find peace with it and died with a smile on her face. My sister who still lived with my mom in our country came to see my dad and grandmother , and my grandfather tried to get her in his room (they had separate bedrooms) and my dad pulled her away and said "NEVER go in his room alone." My dad acted like he didn't believe me before but suddenly I think it clicked and made sense for him. He didn't let my kid cousins sit on his lap. He watched alot. He never faced him though. My grandfather remarried within TWO MONTHS of my grandmother's passing. My dad didn't go to his wedding. He also didn't go see him. He stayed in the states, even after recieving news that my grandfather fell ill. He waited till he died. My stepmom texted me while I was at work that he died. I was living with my mom and sister who came to live in the states. I felt numb for a while. I felt like justice was not served, that he simply escaped any repercussions. That wasn't the case. He died of testicular cancer that went untested for years until it spread into his bones and blood. His leg literally shattered one day. He went to the hospital and died there alone. His new wife had went home, my dad's cousin had come to visit but left the room to grab a drink and he died there, alone. The doctors told my dad's family that he developed testicular cancer 9 years before. I was 21 then. And did the math. I was 12 when he developed the cancer and when he first began doing these things to me. He developed cancer possibly the moment he touched me! It was God's punishment or Karma. Whatever y'all believe in. My dad never faced him tho, and the day we found out we were all called to my dad's house where he asked if I could find peace in my heart and forgive my grandfather. I said no. I cried as I told him how alone I felt for years. He started crying and said "why are you telling me this? Now I don't want to forgive him!" My dad flew back for the funeral and ofc for the will reading. He got mostly everything as the oldest son. I went into therapy, and was also in college for Psychology. I'm a vocational specialist for people with severe mental illness now and am aiming to get my Masters and become a therapist to go help the people in Gaza when there's passage. I would've loved to witness his death, but maybe I can simply live a life well lived. I had nightmares, and my mental health was so bad. I finally found peace tho. I'm engaged to be married, despite people saying I'm used goods, 26 years old, a great job doing what I love and yeah... that's my revenge. Thanks for reading.
That was brave of you to go to protect your siblings. I'm so glad your dad listened at least enough to protect his younger kids _finally._ That's a very noble goal! I wish you all the luck in achieving that dream!
Ohh man, I was listening to the video while running around hatching eggs in Pokemon Scarlet, and the verbally visceral reaction I had when I heard BetterHelp-- 💀 Unless it's a contract issue, guess the backlash received from the last video that had the sponsor at the end didn't get through. Then again, I personally don't think it's a contract issue, and more of a 'easy money from a sponsor' ordeal, considering the gambling app sponsor from weeks/a month or so ago, give or take
This may also have been recorded before the backlash. TH-camrs, especially ones that publish daily new content, have a backlog of videos, so they can take breaks/vacation and still keep the new content coming.
Hey Dabney, I really hope you see this. Better Help isn’t a good company to be accepting sponsorships from. They were giving away client information. HUGE no-no! Love the videos so much and I doubt you even know about the controversy but I hope you see this from if not me someone else.
@@TheWeakMindedI'm only 12 minutes in and for me these sound a lot more believable than the ones Storytime cover, the ones on that channel sound exactly like what you stated in your comment.
@@danielbrant6740if a victim feels like it was revenge then who are you to tell them that it wasn't...? "well actually ☝️🤓" this is what you sound like when you type out dumbass comments like yours
@@GoodNeutralEvilChaos so you are okay with cheating for many years instead of Just Asking for a simple Divorce instead of begin caught in the Crossfire by your own doing?
@@GoodNeutralEvilChaosThe craziest thing is that he had the full choice to live his own life but chose to be cowardly, and in turn hurt other people. It's easier to hurt other people than yourself. Karma just got back for him :/ Speaking as another gay person
While I don't agree with cheating, I can't imagine what it must be like to live in fear of being yourself, there was no reason for her not to confront him. If he tried to claim the high ground, *then* I wouldn't have had a problem.
This is the third time you have brought up betterhelp after your community told you its not good and yet here we are. There are way better sponsors out there but I guess if you get paid then you don't care.
I think there were more than that actually but it seemed like there weren't that many comments on the other ones telling him how bad they are. It seems like there are a lot of comments on this one about it though so hopefully he sees them. Some people also mentioned that it might be a contractual obligation, which would be messed up but understandable because maybe he didn't know better when he first started. I hope it's just a contract because even though it would mean BetterHelp did another scummy thing, at least RSlash isn't really doing anything wrong
@@bigjalapeno7061he should know better when the contract started. there’s been videos on this for years. Do you really think it’s a good idea to not do any research before sponsoring an app made to help those in their weakest and most vulnerable times?
Me, I would've spoke in a soft yet cold tone and say "Do you see it? The eternal darkness of which you shall suffer, where you cannot see, cannot hear, cannot touch or feel anything? That is your Hell, waiting for your arrival." Then blow a kiss and say "have a good trip."
Massive dog whistle… plus continuing to refer to her clearly Bi husband a gay… also huge dog whistle… like don’t get me wrong the dude is a cheating prick but he’s a Bi cheating prick. Honestly the ended up in this weirdly toxic open marriage, which if she’s ok enough with how he provides for her to remain in this marriage the how about having an actual poly relationship and because this toxic mess was just going to explode in the end, which it did. I never talked bad about I just guilted him for ten years then destroyed his life. I’m not saying what he did was right, but I don’t think what she did was either.
Story 2: Geez, Alex really tried to ruin OP's life. I mean, I'm glad that the wasn't hostile to OP when they learned about OP being outed, but it could have been much worse. Funny how the valedictorian became a nobody in one fell swoop. Intelligence doesn't equate wisdom
@@Dog_in_tree I was coming here to say the same thing. Both parties were young and didn’t understand the saying. About living in glass houses and throwing stones. Both had “skeletons in their closets” and a lot to lose. Alex apparently more so than OP.
@@Dog_in_tree So you're the _one_ teenager who never did anything dumb in their youth whatsoever? Do you have the certificate for that? Yes, OP did a dumb for liking gay porn content, but Alex thought it'd be funny to dig up OP's proverbial skeletons without thinking that it can go both ways.
Wait...the first OP., she doesn't want "to destroy his health" but what do you think is gonna happen once OP dropped the bomb? That he wouldn't drink even more? I mean, she is the victim, he is a liar/cheater but don't feign being a martyr then kamikaze his entire life. Normally, I'm all for raining down fire and brimstone on the cheaters but this woman and story...it doesn't leave you feeling good, also...she was fully aware about the cheating. She decided to guilt-trip and torture him because she liked her lifestyle. OP is far from innocent in all this.
She probably means his physical health, and only while she was living with him. I don't think anyone sees OP as innocent here. The way she REVELED in her husband's guilt and torment is borderline psychopathic. But I respect the fact that she drew the line where it endangered the children.
Wow. That's some clear victim blaming. If I've ever seen any. I'm going to let you in on a little surprise victims don't have to be the Virgin Mary in order to be a victim. As someone who works with victims of sexual assault and domestic violence you're wording is very familiar to me. It sounds like somebody who's an enabler. Write down to nitpicking little phrases she used. Honestly, you would make a sleazy defense attorney that defends a rapist and goes on to a woman's social media page and picks a part an outfit or pics apart how much she had to drink that night. Very proud. Just so you understand, a victim doesn't have to be a Virgin Mary in order to be a victim. Also, to be clear, this woman is a victim of gaslighting, manipulation, emotional and mental abuse. And she owes her abuser nothing. The fact that you think she needs to behave like the virgin Mary in her life towards her abuser is what's really disgusting. Don't come back and say that's not what I meant. And for the love of God, don't come back saying putting words in your mouth. That's exactly what you meant. You just don't like that. I called you out on it. Because me is somebody who works in a victim advocacy group that works with victims of domestic violence and sexual abuse, can't tell the difference between what you said and the people in the life of an abuser or rapist who makes excuses for their behavior say. It may be something you want to take a look at.
@@DarkEinherjarshe didn't draw the line for the children she did it for her self she didn't want to live with an alcoholic. She not once has thought of the kids or repurcassisions this will her on her kids, it's clearly all about her. She just threw in the kids to make herself look good.
@@Nerobyrne Because it seems MIGHTY convenient that, despite her admitting that they live in a super homophobic state, in a super homophobic small town, somehow no one got on his case for being gay, just for cheating.
A church kicking him out for cheating? I mean, punishment and natural consequences sure, but exiling him? As Christians, they should have helped him be a better person. Have fellowship and encourage him to repent from his adultery and his sexuality. They seem to care more about the reputation of the church/community and not helping each other when someone messes up.
For story 4, Fate handed op revenge on a silver platter, and im so glad she took it. It must of felt so good to finally have power over someone who had stripped hers away for so long. Well done op, im glad you got your vengeance, best of luck on your journey of recovery
If the grandpa didn't wanted OP to say anything about what he did, then i guess he would find it only fair that op didn't said anything about what she did >:)
I'm wondering if RSlash still has these BetterHelp ads because he took out a payment/contract from them that he still owes publicity/sponsorships on, or if it's worse and he genuinely doesn't care much to stop the sponsorships just to get the revenue.
The last story: For anyone hatching similar revenge, strokes can be time sensitive, but they aren't always fatal if you delay getting medical attention by hours. Our father had a stroke in 2015 bc of stress over a broken water heater during winter, he was afraid his pipes will freeze over and ruin the whole plumbing for the house. This man got up in the morning, took a bus two cities over to mandatory work training, attended the training, then came back late in the afternoon. I was there supervising the emergency plumber he had called. He walked in a drunk stuper kind of way, then started chatting, slurring, making jokes he had a stroke during the night. At that point it was 17 hours since he had the stroke, and it took coaxing by several family members to get him into a car to get driven to the hospital. I'm glad to report he passed the 5 year mark with no repeat strokes and is still going strong in 2024.
(Cheater Story): I'm an openly gay male in a rural area. You would be/wouldn't be shocked at the number of married and partnered men are on the NSA/discreet online gay hookup sites. (And, no, I don't pursue them. That's bad juju.) It's social conservatism, the fear of ostracism, and the fear of physical violence that forces these men into the closet. Everyone has seen way too many conservative senators and TV Evangelists getting caught with men to deny that this is true. I don't condone their actions of cheating. Some men don't have the psychological character and fortitude to be who they really are; self-hatred is a real issue. If people want this to stop, then knock off the homophobia. I don't condone his actions, but she is also a gold-digger who uses people, probably a result of an abusive household...which is another problem that is rampant in rural communities. Just evil.
Its a shame you promoted a scam business. A bit of research shows this company doesn’t even check if their therapists are actually licensed to even care for people
Honestly, as a gay man, the first story is quite satisfying. You don’t get to hurt somebody because you’re too scared to be you. Man up or stay faithful. The second story was fantastic too.
@Tonsils-micman he could have been honest with her knowing her ideals about love and asked for an open marriage or to be poly. He fucked around (literally) and found out. He also put her in danger with the STD. That right there is grounds to go nuclear. Don't mess with someone's health.
@@Tonsils-micman Other than thinking she should've given him the chance to out himself first, I don't think she did anything wrong. If he was so concerned about it, then he should've moved to somewhere more accepting rather than cheat on her for TEN YEARS then trying to manipulate her into breaking up with him
So... in her desire for revenge against a cheater, she ruined two lives, potentially made her children's lives at school unbearable, but that's all okay because he... didn't drink too much? "I want to ruin his life, not his health." Umm. Ma'am. People take their own lives over crap like this. But I guess it's not "ruining his health" if there's no more life or health to ruin?
Man.. The woman of the first story gives me serious sociopath vibes. She epitomizes the consequence she spoke of if he had came out as gay, and then when she figures out that he feels ra*** whenever they slept together she loves it. Normal people don't revel in that stuff.
again you're advertising betterhelp after the backlash you got and all the people telling you what that corrupt company does, that is beyond disappointing, it's disgusting
@@1nn1tmate you act like it's common knowledge, I never heard of an issue with them until comments on this video. And I'm literally on youtube all the time
Rslash, drop the betterhelp sponsorship. They’re awful; half the “therapists” have no formal training and many of them give truly terrible advice. Get someone that at least gives customers what they pay for.
1st story: OP seems the Kill them with kindness type... literally XD 2nd story: OP did the Uno Reverse trick XD 3rd Story: Best revenge is a life well lived. OP is living very well XD 4th story: OMG best Christmas gift EVER!
you're not living the "average middle class lifestyle" if you have a nanny and a maid.. That's straight upper class right there, maybe not millionaire territory though.
Okay story 1. Op seems like a horrible person. As someone who’s I now how hard it must be to come out. And I live in the north. Still it’s a terrifying thing. Op seemed like she understood how he was feeling since they lived in the south, but instead of just confronting him about the cheating, and showing compassion to a man who clearly already felt he was alone and wouldn’t be accepted, since he didn’t tell her, She bullied money and gifts out of him. And then COMPLETELY DESTROYED his life once he was reaching a point to FINALLY feel comfortable enough with himself to come out and properly break things off. She literally made his worst nightmares as a gay person come true. What she did is literally the reason people are so afraid to come out, but she somehow the hero??? That’s just terrible.
What he did was absolutely inexcusable, but what she did was just pure evil. I'm honestly curious to know if she would have felt a shred of guilt if someone had murdered him for that.
@@quartzskull8772 She did that too? They both did bad things, and she admitted to staying with him because of his money, and then completely ruined his life when that wasn't 100% to her benefit
As a bi woman - not exactly the same as a gay man but still have lived in fear with being queer. I fully side with the wife. She was understanding of his fear and essentially turned a blind eye since the marriage was mutually beneficial. But she was still betrayed, she was cheated on. He chose to stay and repeatedly lie to her. There are people saying "oh well she shouldn't have outed him", and the thing is, she didn't... for 10 whole years. He had a decade to decide to leave. He had a decade to get stuff sorted. It was only when he literally was trying to commit his life to a new partner and drown himself in booze did she step in. She was kinder than I would have been. Of course there is nothing wrong with being gay/queer, but it doesn't matter who the partner is, cheating is selfish and the highest form of disrespect. Edit: Multiple people are saying "she stayed for the money!". Yeah. And he stayed for her body, technically, for appearances. He wasn't in love with her either. Why does the woman have to do perfect things to accommodate the man who is cheating? They both stayed for non-love related benefits. They both could have left whenever -- except she wouldn't have been able to support her kids at the time. She guilt tripped him, giving him time and time again to just be goddamn honest. It really feels like you guys are victim blaming. No she didn't act like an angel, but she doesn't owe him that 🤷♀️
It's the lying and sneaking around and gaslighting that would bother me, not the s*x. Be open and honest. Even if I weren't in an open marriage, I'd much rather get a call from my partner/spouse saying "Hey, I'm at the convention hotel, and Bill from Marketing and I hare hanging out, and things are getting a little hot. Can I have a hall pass?" I'd be like "LOL have fun, just don't bring anything home." I have a long-running joke with my Lady Wife about my "approved list." That's a list of some of the most attractive (to me) women on the planet where, if the opportunity ever arose, I have a pre-approved hall pass.
@ostlandr Agreed! Well, not for me, in that I don't think I'd be able to give someone a pass personally. But if both parties are chill with it -- that's cool! It very much seems like the wife in this story would have had no problem been a beard for the guy (I mean, she kinda already was), and they maybe could have continued their marriage as friends if he was upfront about his feelings. It was truly his disregard of her that made him a mega- a-hole.
@Schwiegermutter ....what are you talking about? The only game she played was pretending to be a naïve and loyal wife. He didn't want to leave the marriage for personal reasons, she didn't want to leave the marriage for personal reasons. She didn't have a hatred for gay people, she hated the increasing amount of bullshit he was putting her through. Was she the kindest, most generous, most considerate angel of a soul? No. But neither would any of us if we were cheated on, lied to, and played like a fool. For a decade. And then pushed to the side as he tried to subtly replace you with another person. Frankly, he was not owed the decency of kindness after taking TEN YEARS to never change the direction of his life and how he treats the people around him. Imho.
She manipulated him. Used him for his money. Psychologically abused him over 10 years. In a sense raped him multiple times over 10 years. Took away his kids. Ruined his job. Ruined his relationships. She did everything, methodically, patiently over all these years. She is a clear cut psychopath and her punishment does not match the crime at all. What she did was W A Y worse, given the fact she enjoyed torturing him, raping him, using his money and even went as far as to admit to being very open to non monogamy. She could, if she wanted, to solve this day one and keep an open relationship, so to her it shouldn't be a big deal at all! But she wanted to ruin him completely. She is pure scum.
That is a traumatic childhood. This is one of the reasons we need to stop censoring speech. If we could trust our government I would argue that CPS could do more. But they would have to rotate staff and ensure they have no gains from doing this job.
God I remember now why I stopped listening to Nuclear Revenge stories… nothing like someone doing something pretty messed up and petty to you, only to respond by decimating any chance of them ever having a happy life ever again. That level of vindictiveness is nuts to me.
People have been constantly commenting on your videos with Better Help sponsorships for months telling you why you shouldn't partner with them. It really dissapoints me to see you ignoring us since you are so quick to rectify things when you're over the line on your opinions in a video. 😕
Story 1: What the husband did was wrong at the same time he was in a hard situation seeing as coming out could hurt him and to be honest about his life would mean abandoning his kids to move somewhere more accepting or becoming the target of discrimination. I still don't condone cheating but do acknowledge he was in a rough spot. Story 2: Yes Alex was a bad person but OP even admitted that he invited everyone including Alex to follow his twitter which he had liked gay posts on, so OP kinda outed himself then took it out on someone. I also have to add buying drugs from someone and then selling them out is a hypocritical thing to do.
The girl who's grandfather died of a stroke...I'd bet he did the same to her mother when she was a child. Abd is now an alcoholic as a result. My heart goes out to them both.
Story 1: OP missed the obvious joke by not saying her husband "was caught between a rock and a hard on." Especially since seconds later she said "his church turned on him, for cheating not being gay; let's keep this STRAIGHT." 😂 Story 2: Is this the husband's side?
You're really promoting BetterHelp, a company caught selling client information to third parties such as Facebook. I wouldn't trust a company after a stunt like that. So why do you?
Oh good lord. It's a sponsorship deal. Calm down. You can come down off your soapbox anytime you want. You don't want to use better help. Don't use better help. That's simple.
I think that the first story has to be really rocky. in the other hand, cheating is not justified but i think that exposing one's sexuality out in the open is really extreme, dangerous even, while being in USA.
last story: OP saw her abuser dying right in front of her and decide I WATCH YOU DIED and I bet grandpa knew OP wasn't going help and have fear in his eyes and I bet even if OP told the family they won't believe OP to well deserver it like Kamra came and left
Story 1: You don’t just let someone keep doing something bad and then punish them. It’s like letting a thief steal from 5 more places, then act like you cared the first time they stole and punish them for it. Really manipulative and disgusting behavior. You even manipulated him into giving you pity gifts. You know he feels bad about it, and you know the reason he does it is because he is too scared to come out. I hope OP gets help.
The first story was wild 💀 From the pov of op I can see that she stayed with him because he provided for they’re family, was a good father and was good at doing the deed. What the husband did was terrible, wasting someone’s life to cover your own ass is a cowardly thing to do when the solution he could have took was to leave the town with the love of his life but he didn’t. She tormented him by guilt tripping him in a secretive way as her revenge for 9 years which I think it’s reasonable since the husband was still cheating but she didn’t go to far so his mental health didn’t decline. She then later says she doesn’t talk bad about h to the kids because she still wanted them to have some sort of relationship with him. From the husbands pov he is afraid of coming out of the closet because of his homophobic home town (which I can understand since I’m bi and haven’t come out to my parents or family members) so he then married a women while cheating on her through the marriage and before. He then finds the “love of his life” who encourages him to leave op as op also hinted at but the husband refused…in the end the husband made his bed and he had to lay in it, I don’t blame op for what she did but I feel like this wouldn’t have happened if the husband just ran for the hills the moment he knew of his sexuality so he could live his happily ever after but he didn’t so…sucks to suck I guess and I’m not saying op is a saint because let’s be honest nobody in this world is but I still think she is way less of an A hole than the husband.
I genuinely don’t know how many times your viewers have to tell you that BetterHelp is not good before you get it. It’s genuinely disheartening as it feels that you’re either not reading the comments or ignoring them.
"The congregation turned on him (for cheating, not for being gay, let's keep this straight)." HAHAHA! No pun intended, I'm sure, but I bust out laughing with that last bit!
I'm glad someone said it. Needless to say, cheating is horrible and inexcusable, but she took an extreme amount of pleasure in, her words, "ruining his life".
@@SolidSoul98and what was he doing? The whole time he was comfortable living a double life and agreed to marry someone knowing he could never love her. He was prepared to selfishly waste her ENTIRE life and USE her to uphold a traditional family look while he still found the love of his life. Is that not psychotic as well? Who knows how long he would’ve kept the charade up? Why is she the evil one for using him back?
1:45 and that's where she started becoming just as bad as the cheater. She cared more about what she was getting from him than the fact he was cheating. Plus the manipulation and mental abuse she _chose_ to pile on, personally by the end of it all I think she was twice as bad as he was.
Thank you! Honestly, if she'd just chosen to use him as a lifestyle supplier, I would have been on her side. But the moment she decided to torture him with guilt, and then ruin his life, outing him to everyone, she became the worse person.
@@TheWriter960 That man would’ve probably given her the entire world and some change just for the chance to finally go somewhere and be himself with the person he found if she just let him go. I’m sorry honey but my comfortable lifestyle matters to me more and meeting your side piece is simply killing my vibe so I’m gonna out you to everybody and there’s not a single thing you can do about it. M’aam you want to talk about audacity find a mirror and have several seats. One of the most unsatisfying revenge endings rly
ngl, i couldn't stop laughing for a few minutes after i read,"He was fired, the congregation turned on him (for cheating, not for being gay, let's keep that straight)" Was that intentional? lmao
BETTERHELP IS A DATA MINING COMPANY. They sell the "confidential" questionnaires and don't vet their therapists. Get your bag, D, but this info has been out for AWHILE and it's disappointing each time I see it on your channel
I think both the husband and OP sucks in story one. She had no problem with the cheating ad long as she got her luxurious lifestyle, but as soon as her business took off, then suddenly "*GASP* gay cheating!! How horrible!!!" And of course the husband sucks for cheating.
She wonders why he didn't come out to her too, like look how vindictive and callous you are no wonder he had to remain in the closet. She 100% justified his views on how people in the town would react
@danielbrant6740 did y'all miss the part where she said how she didn't want to lose her luxurious lifestyle so she decided to just enjoy. Plus she even said that she was used to "free love" because of her parents, so she only did it to be vindictive
2023: The regulatory body further calls BetterHelp to pay $7.8 million to consumers as a part of a settlement over allegations it shared sensitive health information with third parties such as social media platforms and digital advertisers.
The FTC says the company doubled down on deception by falsely denying it had shared consumers' personal information - including their health information - with third parties. The eight-count complaint details how the FTC says BetterHelp's allegedly deceptive and unfair practices harmed consumers.
The professional TH-camrs, who shared personal mental health struggles as part of their ads, faced backlash when it came out that they were paid for each customer who signed up for BetterHelp through their unique links-sometimes up to $200 per person.
Do not trust the BetterHelp therapists. They are so sketch," said O'Hara. "My one session with a BetterHelp therapist retraumatized me to the point where I don't know if I'll ever go back to therapy again."
O'Hara alleged the therapist was confused by her diagnosis of CPTSD (complex post-traumatic stress disorder), seemingly not understanding what the term meant, and expected the patient to describe the differences between CPTSD and PTSD.
Thank you for posting this to spread the word around
Honestly, thanks to his AITA videos i know rslash reads his comments. And ive noticed his recordings promoting betterhelp are less enthusiastic too. I think hes stuck in a contract with them and is just waiting to get rid of them. Which sucks for him to be honest.
They couldn’t use google? That makes them look even worse.
@@bizzybee_animations boo hoo - maybe he should come out with the info on how many sponsorships he's contracted to do right now so we can count them down with him.

"For cheating, not for being gay. Let's keep this straight"
Great wording choice.
That dogwhistle is so loud it set off car alarms three streets away
@@1973Washu I just thought it was a funny accidental word choice.
Honestly the biggest dog whistle of the entire post was the wife referring to her clearly Bi husband as gay… hun if he is so good in bed, either she reminds him of a man or he’s also attracted to women.
Almost died laughing at that one 😂😂😂
Story 4: Holy sh*t, OP took "So you have chosen, death" quite literally. I honestly don't blame her for doing that. I have no sympathy for people who commits foul acts like this.
This reminds me of a reddit story that I think r/slash has done before:
The wife of the story was abused by her narcissistic husband and one of the ways that he would get under her skin would be to take a bunch of pills and have her find him with enough time for her to call an ambulance in order to save his life he would gaslight the wife for driving him to take all those meds.
When the wife recognized that was what her husband was doing the overdose thing again she just sat down on the couch and waited until it was far too long before calling the paramedics, since the guy had a known history of abusing medication they ruled it a suicide and wife lived free from then on.
100% if anything very well SAVED other kids from being abused by that vile man
OP was stupid for posting it online. What they did is actually a crime
Couldn’t have happened to a “nicer” guy!
"People" who do those acts are not people

Honestly can't even blame the people that dislike videos solely for the BetterHelp ad. That company is horrid and accused of selling your information, and the "therapists" on there are horribly unprofessional.
Some of them aren't even licensed therapists from what I've been told.
rSlash doesn't even sound enthused about that sponsorship
@TheNekoMimiGamer my guess is he's stuck in a contract with them, hence why he's spacing them out and not being super enthused about it.
Has anyone of you actually used the service to make these claims?
@@jessislistlessdoes it matter? This is well documented issues with the company. I don't need to have personal experience with lava, to know that touching lava is bad.
Wasn't Better Help caught up in some controversy some time ago? I'm surprised they're still doing sponsorships.
Yeah, they were sharing patient info with third party advertisers. They settled that recently, but I wouldn't trust them.
@@immorttalis I say the best therapy is r/slash once a day... but seriously just check for help out there if you need actual help. I am sure there are services out there that are credible and can do amazing work to improve you.
That's not the only thing that BetterHelp has done. They also have a policy that says they're not responsible for anything that their "therapists" tell people. And a lot of the "therapists" on their site aren't actually licensed.
Not only that but I believe the also support Israel
They still get sponsorships on podcast all the time and a few TH-camrs keep yapping without making a single second of research, it’s so annoying

Hey R/Slash, I would probably try to not partner with better help, they have been known to doxs the therapist's that work with them and just give all of their personal information out. Just a thought and just to give you a little bit more information, love your content❤

Oh, I know. Pewdiepie proves that, before they updated their policy, it said that they aren't liable for whatever advice that their "therapists" tell their clients.
That last story reminds me of one where it was a teenage boy at school who got you know what from a female teacher and no one believe them. Then 1 day I think it was from the stairs that the same teacher fell down onto the floor and was bleeding. OP saw it and then step over her. I think I can't recall what was said but the principal asked why you didn't help and he responded, you all did not believe me the first time. I wonder what was going through that Grandpa's mind when he realized he wasn't getting helped
That was from r/askreddit asking what were people's "A child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth" moment.
I loved how Dabney incorporated a Batman Begins quote in his commentary: "I'm not gonna kill you, but I'm not going to save you."
Certainly not blood in the areas in front of the blockage...
Since he had a stroke, I imagine not much was going through his mind
@@chezsnailez???
@@buenapilapil5513He was conscious enough to respond to stimulus, so he must have known something was going on when she walked away.
Dammit R/slash, I love the video but stop it already with the Better Help promos. It's well known how scummy they are, their therapists are not licensed and only out for their own gain. They're a huge danger to people who are ALREADY in an extremely vulnerable mental state. I don't know how much they're paying you, but it can't be enough to put people in danger over it. This is more than just a bad product, it's actively dangerous. Please stop promoting them.
EDIT: I honestly don't care much about the "contract" excuse, even if it's true. First of, it's up to the creator to inform themselves about a sponsor, and to have a contract lawyer read them over before signing anything so as to not get screwed. Secondly, they should always make sure they have an out to end the sponsorship if they feel the sponsor is being shitty.
Other people have mentioned it, but it's very likely he's under some sort of contract to promote them. He most likely is legally incapable of dropping the sponsorship until the contract runs out.
Not a source I would ever use myself. I know some say he might be in a contract but I think he needs to choose his sponsors better in the future.

Yea...
Story number 4 sounds like a very similar story from a while back. About a girl who was in girls scouts or something like that. Grandfather was the terrible person. She saw him having a heart attack in the living room. Recognized the signs due to some training from girl scouts or something. And sat in the chair and watched the life leave his eyes before mentioning it tom someone.
Only bring it up cause I've heard so many off shoots with slightly altered details. This story lives like a phoenix in the nuclearrevenge sub. Rekindling the story anew every so often.
Still a great story. Just caught the similarities.
When you watch/listen/read enough stories, you will start to notice their similarities. How do you think Joseph Campbell came up with the monomyth AKA the hero's journey?
There's a story that was about the OP taking his sister in after their parents died & the gf having a problem with it, then a year or so later the same EXACT same story was told, with only the sister now being a brother instead, I'm 💯 convinced someone was just to lazy to come up with one that they used the same story only changing 1 detail.
I thought I’d heard a story similar to that before.
PLEASE stop sponsoring better help.

Hey r/slash I really would not support betterhelp. They are known to really not care about you and actively have harmed more than helped. I get a paid advert is a paid advert but the health of the people who watch you is far more important than a few dollars. Phillip had to come out and say why he doesn't support them and some of the things they've done and if anything I'd recommend giving that a listen to. x_x
Why is Philip?
The last story... I was mollested from the age of 12 to 16 years old by my grandfather my dad's dad. You're probably thinking why I grew up to be a teenager until he stopped... he was the leader of the family and everyone feared him. I strongly believe my aunts knew and let me be the scapecoat while my dad was overseas so their daughters wouldn't be tainted...I tried telling people but didn't fully know how to talk about it and people told me to shut up. I was a sheltered Arab girl. When I was 16 I finally managed to squirm and act like I was going to help my grandmother in the kitchen. I think he sensed I didn't want to be around him. I started telling dad when he was around if I could skip going to my grandparents. One time I was going to skip but my little sister and brother, my sister being 6 and brother being 3 wanted to go. I suddenly realized I HAD to go to protect them. My grandfather kept trying to have them sit on his lap, to have my sister go to his room, etc. It was heart breaking watching all this unfold to my little sister so I would walk with them and not let them out of my sight. I told my sister my grandfather's knees hurt so don't sit on his lap, but after a quick bathroom break she was on his lap and I felt so sickened. Anyways... fast forward to being 19 years old, and I told my dad after we went back to live in the states. My dad wasn't a good guy either and said "so you'd put your old man grandfather in jail?" And after years of boiling pain I responded "Baba if you ever touch my kids like that I will kill you." I said it with such poison in my voice. He knew I was serious. He made me go to my room. My grandmother fell ill. He went back to our country to see her and told her before she died. She cried on her deathbed... she wasn't the best person in the world but she wasn't evil so I hold no mallice to her. She managed to find peace with it and died with a smile on her face. My sister who still lived with my mom in our country came to see my dad and grandmother , and my grandfather tried to get her in his room (they had separate bedrooms) and my dad pulled her away and said "NEVER go in his room alone." My dad acted like he didn't believe me before but suddenly I think it clicked and made sense for him. He didn't let my kid cousins sit on his lap. He watched alot. He never faced him though. My grandfather remarried within TWO MONTHS of my grandmother's passing. My dad didn't go to his wedding. He also didn't go see him. He stayed in the states, even after recieving news that my grandfather fell ill. He waited till he died. My stepmom texted me while I was at work that he died. I was living with my mom and sister who came to live in the states. I felt numb for a while. I felt like justice was not served, that he simply escaped any repercussions. That wasn't the case. He died of testicular cancer that went untested for years until it spread into his bones and blood. His leg literally shattered one day. He went to the hospital and died there alone. His new wife had went home, my dad's cousin had come to visit but left the room to grab a drink and he died there, alone. The doctors told my dad's family that he developed testicular cancer 9 years before. I was 21 then. And did the math. I was 12 when he developed the cancer and when he first began doing these things to me. He developed cancer possibly the moment he touched me!
It was God's punishment or Karma. Whatever y'all believe in. My dad never faced him tho, and the day we found out we were all called to my dad's house where he asked if I could find peace in my heart and forgive my grandfather. I said no. I cried as I told him how alone I felt for years. He started crying and said "why are you telling me this? Now I don't want to forgive him!"
My dad flew back for the funeral and ofc for the will reading. He got mostly everything as the oldest son. I went into therapy, and was also in college for Psychology. I'm a vocational specialist for people with severe mental illness now and am aiming to get my Masters and become a therapist to go help the people in Gaza when there's passage.
I would've loved to witness his death, but maybe I can simply live a life well lived. I had nightmares, and my mental health was so bad. I finally found peace tho. I'm engaged to be married, despite people saying I'm used goods, 26 years old, a great job doing what I love and yeah... that's my revenge. Thanks for reading.
Wherever you are stranger, I salute you.
@@Mariamunro95 Thank you 😊

Ohh man, I was listening to the video while running around hatching eggs in Pokemon Scarlet, and the verbally visceral reaction I had when I heard BetterHelp--
💀 Unless it's a contract issue, guess the backlash received from the last video that had the sponsor at the end didn't get through. Then again, I personally don't think it's a contract issue, and more of a 'easy money from a sponsor' ordeal, considering the gambling app sponsor from weeks/a month or so ago, give or take
This may also have been recorded before the backlash. TH-camrs, especially ones that publish daily new content, have a backlog of videos, so they can take breaks/vacation and still keep the new content coming.

Normally, I'm all for raining down fire and brimstone on the cheaters but this woman and story...it doesn't leave you feeling good, also...she was fully aware about the cheating. She decided to guilt-trip and torture him because she liked her lifestyle. OP is far from innocent in all this.
She probably means his physical health, and only while she was living with him.
I don't think anyone sees OP as innocent here. The way she REVELED in her husband's guilt and torment is borderline psychopathic. But I respect the fact that she drew the line where it endangered the children.
Wow. That's some clear victim blaming. If I've ever seen any. I'm going to let you in on a little surprise victims don't have to be the Virgin Mary in order to be a victim. As someone who works with victims of sexual assault and domestic violence you're wording is very familiar to me. It sounds like somebody who's an enabler. Write down to nitpicking little phrases she used. Honestly, you would make a sleazy defense attorney that defends a rapist and goes on to a woman's social media page and picks a part an outfit or pics apart how much she had to drink that night. Very proud.
Just so you understand, a victim doesn't have to be a Virgin Mary in order to be a victim. Also, to be clear, this woman is a victim of gaslighting, manipulation, emotional and mental abuse. And she owes her abuser nothing. The fact that you think she needs to behave like the virgin Mary in her life towards her abuser is what's really disgusting.
Don't come back and say that's not what I meant. And for the love of God, don't come back saying putting words in your mouth. That's exactly what you meant. You just don't like that. I called you out on it. Because me is somebody who works in a victim advocacy group that works with victims of domestic violence and sexual abuse, can't tell the difference between what you said and the people in the life of an abuser or rapist who makes excuses for their behavior say. It may be something you want to take a look at.
@@DarkEinherjarshe didn't draw the line for the children she did it for her self she didn't want to live with an alcoholic. She not once has thought of the kids or repurcassisions this will her on her kids, it's clearly all about her. She just threw in the kids to make herself look good.
Damn, props to that southern church for NOT getting on the guys case for being gay, but for cheating.
A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
I 100% don't believe that.
@@TheWriter960 Why?
Not everyone is the same, even down there
@@Nerobyrne Because it seems MIGHTY convenient that, despite her admitting that they live in a super homophobic state, in a super homophobic small town, somehow no one got on his case for being gay, just for cheating.
Usually it's the other way 'round.
A church kicking him out for cheating? I mean, punishment and natural consequences sure, but exiling him? As Christians, they should have helped him be a better person. Have fellowship and encourage him to repent from his adultery and his sexuality. They seem to care more about the reputation of the church/community and not helping each other when someone messes up.
For story 4, Fate handed op revenge on a silver platter, and im so glad she took it. It must of felt so good to finally have power over someone who had stripped hers away for so long.
Well done op, im glad you got your vengeance, best of luck on your journey of recovery
If the grandpa didn't wanted OP to say anything about what he did, then i guess he would find it only fair that op didn't said anything about what she did >:)
That transition from the last story to the better help ad read gave me whiplash
Damn
I'm wondering if RSlash still has these BetterHelp ads because he took out a payment/contract from them that he still owes publicity/sponsorships on, or if it's worse and he genuinely doesn't care much to stop the sponsorships just to get the revenue.
Did you listen to his judgements in the last time?
He does everything half assed and without much care, including checking his sponsorships.
The last story: For anyone hatching similar revenge, strokes can be time sensitive, but they aren't always fatal if you delay getting medical attention by hours. Our father had a stroke in 2015 bc of stress over a broken water heater during winter, he was afraid his pipes will freeze over and ruin the whole plumbing for the house.
This man got up in the morning, took a bus two cities over to mandatory work training, attended the training, then came back late in the afternoon. I was there supervising the emergency plumber he had called. He walked in a drunk stuper kind of way, then started chatting, slurring, making jokes he had a stroke during the night. At that point it was 17 hours since he had the stroke, and it took coaxing by several family members to get him into a car to get driven to the hospital.
I'm glad to report he passed the 5 year mark with no repeat strokes and is still going strong in 2024.
(Cheater Story): I'm an openly gay male in a rural area. You would be/wouldn't be shocked at the number of married and partnered men are on the NSA/discreet online gay hookup sites. (And, no, I don't pursue them. That's bad juju.) It's social conservatism, the fear of ostracism, and the fear of physical violence that forces these men into the closet. Everyone has seen way too many conservative senators and TV Evangelists getting caught with men to deny that this is true. I don't condone their actions of cheating. Some men don't have the psychological character and fortitude to be who they really are; self-hatred is a real issue. If people want this to stop, then knock off the homophobia. I don't condone his actions, but she is also a gold-digger who uses people, probably a result of an abusive household...which is another problem that is rampant in rural communities. Just evil.
My dude, cut out the sponsor asap. They're really shady
Its a shame you promoted a scam business. A bit of research shows this company doesn’t even check if their therapists are actually licensed to even care for people
Honestly, as a gay man, the first story is quite satisfying. You don’t get to hurt somebody because you’re too scared to be you. Man up or stay faithful.
The second story was fantastic too.
In a gay hating state is another thing though, I completely agree with you but like she kinda went a bit far tbh.
@@Tonsils-micmanIt's called nuclear revenge not let's have limits. He is a cheater and deserved everything he got.
it's sad that we live in a world where that had to happen
@Tonsils-micman he could have been honest with her knowing her ideals about love and asked for an open marriage or to be poly. He fucked around (literally) and found out. He also put her in danger with the STD. That right there is grounds to go nuclear. Don't mess with someone's health.
@@Tonsils-micman Other than thinking she should've given him the chance to out himself first, I don't think she did anything wrong. If he was so concerned about it, then he should've moved to somewhere more accepting rather than cheat on her for TEN YEARS then trying to manipulate her into breaking up with him
that last story - couldn't have had a better outcome. OP didn't do anything to her abuser. literally.
hope she got some therapy
If you want to out someone for their skeletons in the closet, you might want to not have any skeletons in your closet that you’re ashamed of
So... in her desire for revenge against a cheater, she ruined two lives, potentially made her children's lives at school unbearable, but that's all okay because he... didn't drink too much? "I want to ruin his life, not his health." Umm. Ma'am. People take their own lives over crap like this. But I guess it's not "ruining his health" if there's no more life or health to ruin?
*Husband:* _[Literally fucks around]_
*OP:* Time to find out, 'honey'. 😈
Man.. The woman of the first story gives me serious sociopath vibes. She epitomizes the consequence she spoke of if he had came out as gay, and then when she figures out that he feels ra*** whenever they slept together she loves it. Normal people don't revel in that stuff.
The first story is very obviously 100% fiction, but yes, you are correct. It describes a sociopath.
again you're advertising betterhelp after the backlash you got and all the people telling you what that corrupt company does, that is beyond disappointing, it's disgusting
He probably signed a contract, most sponsorships are contracts and sponser multiple videos most likely he legally has to follow the contract.
@@jacoby-flowershouldn’t have signed it when there were numerous videos on how bad it is. his fault
@arjun20901 pretty sure he was contracted with them before everything came out
@@jacoby-flower really? because pewdiepie exposed them 5 years ago, before rslash even began making content
@@1nn1tmate you act like it's common knowledge, I never heard of an issue with them until comments on this video. And I'm literally on youtube all the time
That first story just shows how “killing with kindness” could be taken literally!!!
Rslash, drop the betterhelp sponsorship. They’re awful; half the “therapists” have no formal training and many of them give truly terrible advice. Get someone that at least gives customers what they pay for.
Some people are saying that he might be stuck in a contract, so hopefully that's all it is and hopefully it stops soon
1st story: OP seems the Kill them with kindness type... literally XD
2nd story: OP did the Uno Reverse trick XD
3rd Story: Best revenge is a life well lived. OP is living very well XD
4th story: OMG best Christmas gift EVER!
I don't understand why closeted men don't find a lesbian to fake a relationship with so they can be each others beards, at least there's no betrayal.
Wat, betterhelp :/
You're "better" than that, man, come on.
The rapid transition from the last story to the ad was utterly iconic
I love how all of the youtubers have terrible mental health now that they can use mental health as a sponsor.
It's because the service they're promoting is a scam.
dabney has talked about his mental health separate from sponsors in the past
This guy just keeps fucking up.
you're not living the "average middle class lifestyle" if you have a nanny and a maid.. That's straight upper class right there, maybe not millionaire territory though.
Damn that last story….love u rslash. Have a nice weekend everyone
Yeah, they sold the private data of their customers...
Okay story 1. Op seems like a horrible person. As someone who’s I now how hard it must be to come out. And I live in the north. Still it’s a terrifying thing. Op seemed like she understood how he was feeling since they lived in the south, but instead of just confronting him about the cheating, and showing compassion to a man who clearly already felt he was alone and wouldn’t be accepted, since he didn’t tell her, She bullied money and gifts out of him. And then COMPLETELY DESTROYED his life once he was reaching a point to FINALLY feel comfortable enough with himself to come out and properly break things off.
She literally made his worst nightmares as a gay person come true. What she did is literally the reason people are so afraid to come out, but she somehow the hero??? That’s just terrible.
Yeah op is the horrible one not the cheater wasting her life
@@quartzskull8772use your big boy thinking skills and think why outing someone in the south is bad
What he did was absolutely inexcusable, but what she did was just pure evil. I'm honestly curious to know if she would have felt a shred of guilt if someone had murdered him for that.
@@Veteransmoker and wasting someone else's life to save your own skin isn't evil?
@@quartzskull8772 She did that too? They both did bad things, and she admitted to staying with him because of his money, and then completely ruined his life when that wasn't 100% to her benefit
As a bi woman - not exactly the same as a gay man but still have lived in fear with being queer.
I fully side with the wife. She was understanding of his fear and essentially turned a blind eye since the marriage was mutually beneficial. But she was still betrayed, she was cheated on. He chose to stay and repeatedly lie to her.
There are people saying "oh well she shouldn't have outed him", and the thing is, she didn't... for 10 whole years. He had a decade to decide to leave. He had a decade to get stuff sorted. It was only when he literally was trying to commit his life to a new partner and drown himself in booze did she step in. She was kinder than I would have been.
Of course there is nothing wrong with being gay/queer, but it doesn't matter who the partner is, cheating is selfish and the highest form of disrespect.
Edit: Multiple people are saying "she stayed for the money!". Yeah. And he stayed for her body, technically, for appearances. He wasn't in love with her either. Why does the woman have to do perfect things to accommodate the man who is cheating? They both stayed for non-love related benefits. They both could have left whenever -- except she wouldn't have been able to support her kids at the time. She guilt tripped him, giving him time and time again to just be goddamn honest. It really feels like you guys are victim blaming. No she didn't act like an angel, but she doesn't owe him that 🤷♀️
It's the lying and sneaking around and gaslighting that would bother me, not the s*x. Be open and honest. Even if I weren't in an open marriage, I'd much rather get a call from my partner/spouse saying "Hey, I'm at the convention hotel, and Bill from Marketing and I hare hanging out, and things are getting a little hot. Can I have a hall pass?" I'd be like "LOL have fun, just don't bring anything home."
I have a long-running joke with my Lady Wife about my "approved list." That's a list of some of the most attractive (to me) women on the planet where, if the opportunity ever arose, I have a pre-approved hall pass.
@ostlandr Agreed! Well, not for me, in that I don't think I'd be able to give someone a pass personally. But if both parties are chill with it -- that's cool!
It very much seems like the wife in this story would have had no problem been a beard for the guy (I mean, she kinda already was), and they maybe could have continued their marriage as friends if he was upfront about his feelings. It was truly his disregard of her that made him a mega- a-hole.
She still used the hatred for gay to punish him and destroy his life.
And those games she played were not a bit better than his.
@Schwiegermutter ....what are you talking about? The only game she played was pretending to be a naïve and loyal wife. He didn't want to leave the marriage for personal reasons, she didn't want to leave the marriage for personal reasons. She didn't have a hatred for gay people, she hated the increasing amount of bullshit he was putting her through.
Was she the kindest, most generous, most considerate angel of a soul? No. But neither would any of us if we were cheated on, lied to, and played like a fool. For a decade. And then pushed to the side as he tried to subtly replace you with another person. Frankly, he was not owed the decency of kindness after taking TEN YEARS to never change the direction of his life and how he treats the people around him. Imho.
She manipulated him. Used him for his money. Psychologically abused him over 10 years. In a sense raped him multiple times over 10 years. Took away his kids. Ruined his job. Ruined his relationships. She did everything, methodically, patiently over all these years. She is a clear cut psychopath and her punishment does not match the crime at all. What she did was W A Y worse, given the fact she enjoyed torturing him, raping him, using his money and even went as far as to admit to being very open to non monogamy. She could, if she wanted, to solve this day one and keep an open relationship, so to her it shouldn't be a big deal at all! But she wanted to ruin him completely. She is pure scum.
Transitioning from celebrating grandpa's death to "this is sponsored by therapy" is crazy 😂
That is a traumatic childhood. This is one of the reasons we need to stop censoring speech. If we could trust our government I would argue that CPS could do more. But they would have to rotate staff and ensure they have no gains from doing this job.
God I remember now why I stopped listening to Nuclear Revenge stories… nothing like someone doing something pretty messed up and petty to you, only to respond by decimating any chance of them ever having a happy life ever again.
That level of vindictiveness is nuts to me.
Man, I've missed r/NuclearRevenge
Then again, the lack of it makes the stories hit harder when you eventually do cover them.
“For cheating, not for being gay, let’s keep this STRAIGHT” nice pun
The thumbnails are quite hard to decipher! I appreciate how straightforward this one is❤❤❤
People have been constantly commenting on your videos with Better Help sponsorships for months telling you why you shouldn't partner with them.
It really dissapoints me to see you ignoring us since you are so quick to rectify things when you're over the line on your opinions in a video. 😕
Cmon rslash, dont be supporting the fraudsters at betterhelp,
Signed, a former betterhelp user who knows how shite it is
Story 1: talk about ice in your veins! OP was a monster, and I mean that in the very best sense and with great admiration.
Story 1: I think this is the first reddit story where I have more sympathy form the cheater than the wife.
She watched him die. She could've saved him, but she didn't.
Yeah that’s what happened
Story 1: What the husband did was wrong at the same time he was in a hard situation seeing as coming out could hurt him and to be honest about his life would mean abandoning his kids to move somewhere more accepting or becoming the target of discrimination. I still don't condone cheating but do acknowledge he was in a rough spot.
Story 2: Yes Alex was a bad person but OP even admitted that he invited everyone including Alex to follow his twitter which he had liked gay posts on, so OP kinda outed himself then took it out on someone. I also have to add buying drugs from someone and then selling them out is a hypocritical thing to do.
"not for being gay, lets keep this straight" xD ~5:40
The girl who's grandfather died of a stroke...I'd bet he did the same to her mother when she was a child. Abd is now an alcoholic as a result. My heart goes out to them both.
Story 1: OP missed the obvious joke by not saying her husband "was caught between a rock and a hard on." Especially since seconds later she said "his church turned on him, for cheating not being gay; let's keep this STRAIGHT." 😂
Story 2: Is this the husband's side?
You're really promoting BetterHelp, a company caught selling client information to third parties such as Facebook. I wouldn't trust a company after a stunt like that. So why do you?
Oh good lord. It's a sponsorship deal. Calm down. You can come down off your soapbox anytime you want. You don't want to use better help. Don't use better help. That's simple.

@@LLandS18 Yeah screw privacy! can I recommend you avast anti virus, amazon alexa, google home?
It's been years since the last nuclear revenge, hope it sticks around
I think that the first story has to be really rocky. in the other hand, cheating is not justified but i think that exposing one's sexuality out in the open is really extreme, dangerous even, while being in USA.
And especially in the south
[5:40] "...not for being gay, let's keep this straight" is an interesting sentence, lol.
last story: OP saw her abuser dying right in front of her and decide I WATCH YOU DIED and I bet grandpa knew OP wasn't going help and have fear in his eyes and I bet even if OP told the family they won't believe OP to well deserver it like Kamra came and left
"turned on him for cheating, not being gay, let's keep that straight." - Nice pun, OP.
Story 1: You don’t just let someone keep doing something bad and then punish them. It’s like letting a thief steal from 5 more places, then act like you cared the first time they stole and punish them for it. Really manipulative and disgusting behavior. You even manipulated him into giving you pity gifts. You know he feels bad about it, and you know the reason he does it is because he is too scared to come out. I hope OP gets help.
Shouldn't have gotten married to her in the first place nor cheated on her before the marriage.
@@marukouga135Yea but she should still call him out immediately instead of having a ten year sociopathic game.
@@findot777 If that's the way she wanted her revenge to play out then it's justified.
Man...I wish I had the patience of that first OP
For SOOOME reason I feel like something is wrong with the first story. I cant just shake that feeling off. I dont know call it a writers hunch.
I agree.
The first story was wild 💀
From the pov of op I can see that she stayed with him because he provided for they’re family, was a good father and was good at doing the deed. What the husband did was terrible, wasting someone’s life to cover your own ass is a cowardly thing to do when the solution he could have took was to leave the town with the love of his life but he didn’t. She tormented him by guilt tripping him in a secretive way as her revenge for 9 years which I think it’s reasonable since the husband was still cheating but she didn’t go to far so his mental health didn’t decline. She then later says she doesn’t talk bad about h to the kids because she still wanted them to have some sort of relationship with him.
From the husbands pov he is afraid of coming out of the closet because of his homophobic home town (which I can understand since I’m bi and haven’t come out to my parents or family members) so he then married a women while cheating on her through the marriage and before. He then finds the “love of his life” who encourages him to leave op as op also hinted at but the husband refused…in the end the husband made his bed and he had to lay in it, I don’t blame op for what she did but I feel like this wouldn’t have happened if the husband just ran for the hills the moment he knew of his sexuality so he could live his happily ever after but he didn’t so…sucks to suck I guess and I’m not saying op is a saint because let’s be honest nobody in this world is but I still think she is way less of an A hole than the husband.
I genuinely don’t know how many times your viewers have to tell you that BetterHelp is not good before you get it. It’s genuinely disheartening as it feels that you’re either not reading the comments or ignoring them.
damn, first story was genius
last story, she was lucky he died, because if he had survived, he would've said she left him
Depends on if anyone believed him
"The congregation turned on him (for cheating, not for being gay, let's keep this straight)."
HAHAHA! No pun intended, I'm sure, but I bust out laughing with that last bit!
Story 1: OP is definitely a legit psychopath
I'm glad someone said it. Needless to say, cheating is horrible and inexcusable, but she took an extreme amount of pleasure in, her words, "ruining his life".
@@SolidSoul98meh, girl took charge he was an ATM in the end after all
@@SolidSoul98and what was he doing? The whole time he was comfortable living a double life and agreed to marry someone knowing he could never love her.

It's about time you haven't done nuclear revenge in years
1:45 and that's where she started becoming just as bad as the cheater. She cared more about what she was getting from him than the fact he was cheating. Plus the manipulation and mental abuse she _chose_ to pile on, personally by the end of it all I think she was twice as bad as he was.
Thank you! Honestly, if she'd just chosen to use him as a lifestyle supplier, I would have been on her side. But the moment she decided to torture him with guilt, and then ruin his life, outing him to everyone, she became the worse person.
@@TheWriter960 That man would’ve probably given her the entire world and some change just for the chance to finally go somewhere and be himself with the person he found if she just let him go.

I'm 38 years old as of today. So it's good enough so far.
BETTERHELP IS A DATA MINING COMPANY. They sell the "confidential" questionnaires and don't vet their therapists. Get your bag, D, but this info has been out for AWHILE and it's disappointing each time I see it on your channel
I think both the husband and OP sucks in story one. She had no problem with the cheating ad long as she got her luxurious lifestyle, but as soon as her business took off, then suddenly "*GASP* gay cheating!! How horrible!!!" And of course the husband sucks for cheating.
She wonders why he didn't come out to her too, like look how vindictive and callous you are no wonder he had to remain in the closet. She 100% justified his views on how people in the town would react
Didya miss the part where Cheater brought his affair partner home to his children as if to say, "Meet your new daddy, kids!"?
@danielbrant6740 did y'all miss the part where she said how she didn't want to lose her luxurious lifestyle so she decided to just enjoy. Plus she even said that she was used to "free love" because of her parents, so she only did it to be vindictive
