—Anonymous SO fast forward a couple weeks later, we cycle back to my friend who originally referred them to me. She asked me how the appointment went. I said good, I was vague about it, I just said that it seems like they’re going through a lot. She then spills the beans. Long story short: The woman that the daughter’s husband was having an affair with is her OWN MOTHER [Aunt client]. He cut things off with her and she now hates him and makes his life difficult. The daughter doesn’t know. The mother’s husband knows she had an affair but doesn’t know it’s with the son-in-law. Several people in the family know but no one is telling them. It’s a fucking mess." —u/fruitbratt —moistbitch —Budget-Answer-149 So after Girl A caught feelings, she told Girl B and myself. I stayed supportive but didn’t influence her decision about whether to tell him or not — I just want to pass my course and get my degree. Girl B, though, was rather pushy about Girl A disclosing her feelings for the guy. [She] would ask, like, every other week if she had told him about her feelings yet, encouraged her to tell him, etc. Girl A finally disclosed to the guy that she liked him. He said the feelings weren’t mutual, and she took it like a champ, still wanted to be friends with no weirdness. Then, about five days later, he says he’s interested in Girl B and wants to pursue a relationship with her. Cue confusion. So Girl B comes to Girl A and says she actually ALSO has feelings for this guy, and would Girl A be okay if she pursued a relationship? Of fucking course not. She just disclosed her feelings five days ago, this is still raw, everyone’s living together, no way. She says she’d prefer if she didn’t do that right now since it still stings. Guy comes home and explodes at Girl A. How could she EVER think she had a chance with him, she’s way too heavy for him to ever be interested, she has completely ruined his chance with Girl B because she had hurt feelings and now his life is terrible because of her. Long story short, Girl B and the guy had been secretly fucking for two months after everybody went to bed. Girl B knew Girl A liked him and still slept with him, and actively encouraged Girl A to tell the guy she liked him. Guy moved out, blaming everyone else for his problems. I moved out not soon after because I was stranded with these two girls and the house dynamic was weird. Last I heard Girl B and the guy are still together. They deserve each other." —u/liv_free_53
—u/YakBig1676 So I confided in an employee, who was a long-standing friend of mine outside of work — we’ll call him Greg. I never made any accusations; I just told Greg that Ava and Tony were always leaving and going to meetings together and I didn’t understand why. Greg said, ‘Come on, you’re really going to be jealous like that?’ We had multiple conversations about it, where he always told me I was jealous that Ava got promoted and to stop worrying about it. I didn’t feel comfortable anymore, so I left the job. Ava left shortly after to a different bank for another big promotion. Then her husband died by suicide (not gossip, it’s very sad I know), and less than a few months later she announced on Facebook that Tony had left his wife and the two of them were together. She moved into his huge house that he had built with his wife and they got married in a huge fairytale wedding like this all wasn’t the product of a bunch of sneakiness and quid pro quo. A few years later, I ran into Greg’s ex-girlfriend and we had a long conversation about everything that went down. Apparently, during the time he was dismissing me, he was also stalking Ava. His ex told me he was obsessed with what was going on between Tony and Ava and was constantly driving by their houses to see what cars were there, etc. It caused the end of his relationship with the ex because she felt like the only explanation was that he had feelings for her. Ava and Tony are still happily together." —u/Houseofrad —u/casstocoast —u/lb_fantastic When I was a bit older, I expressed to my mom how I missed Lassy and her sons. My mom let me know that Lassy was my dad’s lawyer when he won custody of me. She helped my dad and his friends lie in front of a court of law about my mom’s character so that he would win…the most messed up part about it is my dad literally kidnapped me before he won custody, but he made everyone think that my mom was out of her mind so nobody believed her in court…also, he wanted me to be aborted when he found out I existed lol. Anyway, I found out from my aunt and my grandma that Lassy’s youngest son is my illegitimate brother. Lassy and my dad were banging during throughout the whole custody battle. 20ish years later, I tried to find them on social media. I couldn’t find her sons, and her Facebook profile seems fake. It has really weird photoshopped pictures, and she never responded to the message I sent her years ago. My dad, his girlfriend, and my new siblings moved states away about seven years ago, and they were just married on New Year’s Day of this year. I don’t think my brother knows any of this, but I wonder what good it would do since he has a whole life, a loving father figure (her husband), and my dad and his now-wife I imagine wouldn’t like to revisit this time in their relationship. Part of me wants to just bring it all up to appease the heartbroken four-year-old in me, realizing she couldn’t see her buddies anymore. I’m an adult now though, and I talk to my toxic-ass parents as little as possible. Hopefully, one day I can find my brother without going through them." —u/SquishMitten75642 —u/Aunt_Bunny The new couple came out that they’re in a relationship and really really quickly got engaged. The ex-wife posted about how disgusting it was that they announced their engagement days after the divorce was finalized and for months that was it. We all just assumed he was cheating on her with her friend and decided to leave his marriage and start a new one. It wasn’t until ex-wife made one more post and came out to everyone that they were actually a throuple for years and that when she asked her husband to go back to being just them, he refused and left her. This was shocking to say the least because monogamy and heterosexuality are kinda required in the Mormon church. They all ended up leaving the church and now co-parent." —u/Melodic_Mushroom7150 It’s that they legit lied, denied, and manipulated the secret that was their relationship. H told us that she had a fiancé at home…yet she came on this six-month trip with her male best friend. You can imagine the gossip that surrounded the group. It was all about building evidence of these two liar lovers. You can tell the tension between them when they were fighting and when they were flirty. It came to a HUGE, just giant, confrontation when H’s roommate went through her camera to see if she had any photos of herself from a trip they had just taken. Lo and behold, [she] found a picture if H and N kissing in front of a temple. This blew up as she went around showing everyone the evidence that finally validated everyone’s suspicions. H and N still denied it and claimed it was an accident and that H cheated on her fiancé. Which was totally fucking dumb because why would you rather admit to being a cheater? Turns out N was her fiancé. Better yet N’s middle name was the made-up fiancé’s name. They married as soon as they came home. Wildest shit ever." —u/Noyvas I started to confide in a friend who still worked there because I was uncomfortable with everything he was saying…turns out my old boss has slept with almost every single woman that worked at the casino. No joke. And I know that because he kept a black book of secrets, and accidentally dropped it in the parking lot when leaving work one day. … I would’ve [talked to HR]…except the HR manager was one of the women." —u/Sarahskills
