18 people share the crazy secrets they’re hiding from their significant others.

Even the most loving couples have secrets that they're individually taking to the grave.

Sometimes we don't disclose information with our partners because we'd like to pretend they never happened, or we're trying to protect the other person from something we know would hurt them. Regardless of the reason, keeping a few secrets isn't always immoral.

When a Reddit user recently asked, "What’s a secret your SO still doesn’t know about you, and why have you kept it secret?" people were eager to share. Hopefully none of these responders' significant others know their usernames or else sh*t is about to go down.

1. This is so cold, "Honkey_McCracker."

I hate her homemade spaghetti sauce. It's been 14 years, why tell her now?

2. Oh damn, "jess4521."

I absolutely hate his brother with a passion. He thinks I like him

3. Oh no, "Blacklight_Fever."

That raccoon you hit with the mower wasn't fine. I beat it to death a shovel to put it out if its misery.

She was in her 3rd trimester and was very emotional. I couldn't tell her she'd basically cut its rear legs off.

4. Well done, "parada45."

In Seinfeld George Costanza has this hilarious answering machine message of him singing.

I did the same thing with our house phone since no one will ever call it.

Going on 3 years and she has no clue.

I just want to see how long the joke can last. A couple of my friends and relatives know about it lol.

5. This is a horror story, "jimmysandals."

My wife had her drink on the floor one evening while sitting on the couch watching Netflix. She took a drink and immediately spit it out - a bug had gotten in her glass and she almost swallowed it. I immediately grabbed the drink, told her “it’s just a little moth,” and I while I disposed of the drink-ruiner she gagged profusely and rinsed her mouth out (all bugs freak her out). Thankfully she was soon mostly over it since it was such a small moth. Will never tell her it was a pretty good-sized cockroach.

6. Aw, "PidgePop."

My SO’s father used to always give her quarters growing up (he has since passed) and now every time someone in the family finds a quarter they think of him looking down on them... it’s sweet.

Before we moved into our first home, I snuck in and hid quarters in obscure places all over the house. She’s still finding them and she likes to leave them in the spot she found them as a reminder. It always makes her smile and I’ll never tell.

7. Nice, "NotYourQueen123."

I made a dent in our garage door one time while trying to park a little too close to it. It also left a huge scratch on the door and my car’s bumper. My husband never found out - he notices everything but for some reason he never noticed the bump on the garage door.

We sold that house recently and I thought for sure he’d see it and I’d have to fess up but nope. It’s been 5 years since that incident and I think I’ll take that story with me to the grave 😂

8. You did what you had to do, "WifeofBathSalts."

That I didn’t actually find our dog, lost and alone, in a parking lot. I actually paid $70 to a couple methheads for her. He didn’t want a dog, and I knew these people wouldn’t take care of her. So I made up a sob story that she had no one else and I just convinced him she should stay, rather than me finding her another home.

He absolutely loves the little maniac now. :D

9. Lol, "melangalade."

I'm actually 3 kids in a trenchcoat.

10. This is so sweet, "whatthewhatk."

He thinks I’m allergic to salmon.

I just don’t like salmon... he wanted to make it for me on our first “cooking date” and I didn’t want to come off as ungrateful or picky so I said I was allergic.

It’s been 4 years and he still tells waiters I’m allergic so there isn’t cross contamination. Sigh.

11. Ok, "oh_five."

That I used to have sex with strangers for money.

12. This is relatable, "dripthrowaways."

I wanted some alone time so I told my wife that I have a work conference and just rented an airbnb to be by myself and play zelda on my switch for a few days.

13. Damn, "gen-ta."

I mentioned this before but I had a life sized sex doll that I had to get rid of without her noticing. Got it before I met her, forgot to throw it away before she moved in. Laid hidden in a closet for years.

14. NEVER TELL, "Senrnariz."

The spiders in our house, yellow sac spiders, are poisonous, sometimes hide in folded clothes, and can bite you.

15. Oh my god, "Grecko506."

My wife’s engagement ring had a fake diamond for years. I was super broke so I got a CZ for a stone. I replaced years later without her knowing.

Lady Gaga finally responded to the Bradley Cooper romance rumors. Get out the popcorn.

$

Even if you didn't watch the Oscars this year, it's likely you're already well aware that Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga performed "Shallow" from A Star is Born and everyone in the room became impregnated with their seed.

Truly though, the romantic and sexual chemistry was so palpable on stage that the performance further fueled rumors that Cooper and Gaga are secretly in love, despite the fact that the actor has been with Irina Shayk for years.

In fact, the collective imagination of the internet has run so fast with the idea of a Cooper/Gaga love affair, that the actor's ex-wife Jennifer Esposito even weighed in on how absurd she thinks the whole rumor is.

Needless to say, the waters of internet gossip have been stirring, and it would be a huge understatement to say that more than a few Gaga and Cooper fans have been rooting for him to leave his girlfriend (and the mother of his child) for the pop singer he starred across from.

Naturally, people have been waiting with baited breath for either Gaga or Cooper to speak up about the rumors, and now, we have finally got our wish. During a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel, the comedian asked Gaga her thoughts on the rumors, and she did not hold back from shutting them down.

"First of all, social media, quite frankly is the toilet of the internet. And what it has done to pop culture is abysmal. Yes, people saw love and guess what? That’s what we wanted you to see. This is a love song. The movie A Star Is Born is a love story. It was so important to both of us that we were connected the entire time. Look, I've had my arms wrapped around Tony Bennett for three years touring the world. When you’re singing love songs, that’s what you want people to feel."

You heard it here, Gaga says they are not secretly in love, they are just really good at their jobs, which happen to be acting as if they're in love.

Trump's disastrous Kim Jong Un summit has divided liberals on the internet.

While it's funny to watch someone you don't like fail, is it still fun of the failure didn't decrease the likelihood of nuclear war?

President Donald Trump was in Hanoi, Vietnam meeting one of his many dictator friends, Kim Jong Un. The North Korean Dear Leader walks away from the summit with a massive propaganda victory of being treated as an equal by the President of the United States without having to give up any of its nuclear weapons. Trump also kowtowed to Kim Jong Un when he said that he takes Kim "at his word" over the treatment of Otto Warmbier, an American student who was all but beaten to death in one of the regime's prisons. He died shortly after his release.

The summit was abruptly cut short as Trump walked out like he was Mike Pence at a football game. A signing ceremony was canceled because no deal was made.

Image result for you get nothing gif
A short summary of the summit.

Pundits say that Trump was right to walk away rather than cut a bad deal, but people couldn't help but laugh at how horrible this whole charade is for the president's "Master Dealmaker" mythology.

The hashtag #TrumpFail promptly started trending as soon as people woke up to read the news.

Some progressives tried to clarify the meaning of the hashtag.

Rep. Ted Lieu, an Extremely Online, anti-Trump congressman from California, denounced the hashtag, explaining that even though Trump is bad, nuclear war is worse.

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi also said that she was glad Trump walked away.

Pelosi did slam Trump for absolving Kim for the torture of an American student.

There's something wrong, indeed.

Homophobic couple wrote 'Dear Abby' for advice. They got a lesson in not being a**holes.

$

Oftentimes when people write into Dear Abby its with the secret (or not so secret) hope that Abby will justify their longheld beliefs. Whether someone is writing to rag on their messy ex, or laying out complex family dynamics, it's only human to hope that she will confirm that you are the one in the right, and everyone else is crazy.

However, this is definitely not how it always goes down, and for those of us reading and not writing, the letters that get called out often prove the most entertaining.

The Reddit user generic_bitch posted a delicious example of Abby shuttting down a letter writer, and you may want to save it and frame it for a rainy day.

Truly though, reading this is cathartic. Basically, a woman wrote Abby laying out how her and her husband are homophobic and don't allow their gay neighbors over for dinner. After word of this spread, the other neighbors rallied and decided to disinvite the homophobic couple from future hang outs.

Well, now, the woman wrote Abby claiming the neighbors are the "real bigots" for not including her and her husband, somehow not realizing the deepy irony of this claim.

Abby's response is a great example of how to concisely and firmly shut down someone's whining about facing backlash for their bigotry. She obviously has practice at shutting down nonsense.

♫ You've been hit by, you've been struck by, a dumb criminal. ♫

A recent Reddit thread had cops (and people who know cops) sharing the stories of the stupidest criminals they ever had the privilege of arresting.

Some criminals make it so damn easy.

i cant even brooklyn nine nine GIF

(This post is populated entirely by Brooklyn Nine-Nine GIFs, beause those are the only fun cops.)

1. Token_Geek has good neighbors.

Everyday I see a big black SUV with Sheriff written on the side parked in the driveway across the street, I don't know if the guy is the sheriff or works for the sheriff but one night I wake up to a dozen sirens outside. Turns out some idiot tried breaking into sheriff dudes house while he was home and his vehicle was right freaking there.


2. dumbgringo caught Hansel and Gretl.

Teen gets fired from Red Lobster, returns to rob same restaurant that night. They refuse to give him money from register so he grabs charity coin box (muscular dystrophy or similar) and then he leaves on bicycle. I go to find him and see coins scattered about, follow trail off same which leads me to him hiding in bushes at a church. Bicycle was leaning up against the bush he was in.

3. He should have collected and ran, CollectandRun.

Old roommate was/is a cop.
He came home to tell me an ATM was robbed (after hours) for $15,240.

The next day the man who robbed the ATM deposited $15,240 into his personal account at the bank he robbed the night prior.


4. Quite the pizza party, jonnyb61.

I’m a 911 Dispatcher; in Florida. Sometimes confused or drunk people knock on the wrong door or try to get into a house thinking it’s theirs, but it isn’t. It’s an honest mistake. But the homeowner is rightfully very afraid thinking they are about to be robbed or worse. Well I had this kid, must’ve been in his early 20s and clearly stoned call me going absolutely crazy that someone is trying to kill him and take his property and rape his girlfriend blah blah blah. I send units code 3 to this guy thinking it’s a burglary in progress.

Turns out the guy ordered a pizza and forgot about it. Scared the delivery guy half to death.

5. That's nice of the criminal to help Omugaru get him caught.

Not a cop myself, but about 10 years ago I got held up and robbed by a group of 3 guys with knives. All they wanted was the money in my wallet, so me being the smart guy not wanting to mess with knives just obliged. At the end of the ordeal he put the knife to my throat and said "If you ever tell the cops my name is <redacted> I will slice your throat right now".

So I went home, called the cops, told em where it happened and gave them the name they guy told me. The name instantly rung a bell with them since the guy had come into contact with the police in the past. Cops went to the spot where I was robbed and they were laying in ambush for a new guy to appear. They could instantly identify the guy he was arrested and that's about it.


6. Pics or it didn't happen, Maverik45.

Can't go into too much detail, but kid (14) shot another kid (15) in the leg after a fight in their apartment complex. The victim is able to describe the gun the shooter used in detail. We get get shooters name from another kid who knows him from school, my partner looks up his Instagram and would you believe it, there he is posing with the gun described to us exactly.

Social media is a treasure trove of wannabe gangsters incriminating themselves.

7. invalidusermyass with a story that sounds like Don Jr.

My dad is a cop and he was interrogating a robber which was denying he had any involvement since the start.

Dad: "The Man told us that you robbed him of $500!"

Robber: "No it was only $300!"

He basically gave himself away


8. Reverse psychology doesn't work on Dintox.

Ex police officer here.

I pulled over a dude for having a brake light out. Nothing serious, ran his plated and the likes. It all came back clean and nothing seemed off, until he exclaimed, "I haven't had any alcohol!" In an over enthusiastic tone.... for some reason he thought this was a good idea... so nearly got away with it (vodka doesn't smell). I breathalised him... legal limit in England is 35 he blew over 60.... Arrested on the spot and his vehicle towed. Idiot.

9. Correctional Officer Borgphoenix's story has legs.

C/O here.

We had a inmate who got really high and drunk before breaking into a house. He stumbled over a couch and it flipped onto his legs and he passed out. The couch cut off circulation to his legs and the owners came home to a passed out man in their house. He lost his legs and his prison nickname was “legs”.


10. Slendermesh learned a lot in class.

My Criminal Justice teacher told me the best one I’ve heard so far. Back when he was a cop he took a burglary call, goes to the call and guy tells him this person stole a little over a pound of weed from him. Tells him who it is, where he lives and asks him to go arrest him. So he goes and arrests him then call the “victim” and says “I think I have your weed but I need you to come down to the station and identify it,” so naturally dude is thrilled drives down sees his weed thanks my teacher and confirms yes 100% that is mine, so my teacher arrests him.


11. eatoutmyanus has a story as great as their name.

I enforce municipal by law. I was once writing a ticket for a blatant fire route violation. Blocking emergency access to a large building, within 10m of a fire safety system . Anyway the guy said hey are you a cop? I said no in writing a ticket for this fire route violation. So the guy said oh ok good I have a warrant out for my arrest and I thought it was about that. So I said nope just giving you a fire route ticket. Then I phoned the police lol

12. A star is born, lindt_egg.

One of the worst been robberies ever. She walked in, with a mask on. Threatens the tellers, leans over the counter and places her entire bare hand and all five fingers on the flat surface. Takes the cash, walks outside, and takes her mask off... And then looks straight up at the camera, and stands there looking at it.

The combination of five fingerprints, a palm print and staring at the camera for a while was pretty damning.


13. moobsahoy with a bloody good tale.

UK cop of 13 years.

Dealt with a guy who was drunk driving. Seen by loads of people, seen on CCTV etc getting in car and driving off.

Drove home, put car in garage and clearly knew cops were coming.

But instead of hiding until sober he thought in his drunk mind that it was the CAR that was key to drunk driving and not his blood alcohol level...

So he got rid of the car. By setting fire to it with petrol and so the garage it was in and then accidentally the motor home parked outside...

Total genius. Promptly arrested and charged

Sarah Hyland claps back after people judged her for wearing ‘2 pairs of Spanx.’

Sarah Hyland of "Modern Family" fame showed up at the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party looking fabulous as always.

Of course her boyfriend, Wells Adams of ABC's "The Bachelor" and bartending on "Bachelor in Paradise" fame agreed she looks amazing as well:

View this post on Instagram

Damn, she fine. #vanityfairoscarparty #oscars2019

A post shared by Wells Adams (@wellsadams) on

They're super cute together, let's be real:

However, when Hyland posted about her outfit, the internet wasn't pleased:

Yes, she's very thin. Yes, Hyland is in her late twenties and could play a high school student for 25,000 seasons of "Modern Family," but that doesn't mean thin people don't have problems, or aren't pressured by the beauty standards of Hollywood. Some people were quick to point out that Hyland might be perpetuating unrealistic expectations for women's bodies by implying she would need Spanx:

However, some people were quick to recognize that Hyland's spanx joke might've been deeper than it seems. While Hyland is a thin woman in Hollywood, she also experienced kidney failure in 2012 and had to have a kidney transplant. Naturally, the surgery caused scarring on her abdomen which is most likely why she chose to pad it down with the magic of Spanx.

And Sarah was very grateful for the support:

People in similar situations empathized with her:

When there's already so much pressure on women to look and behave a certain way, sometimes it's quick to judge someone who seemingly fits the standard for perpetuating the nonsense. Just because Hyland is thin doesn't mean she doesn't have insecurities and we should all be more sensitive of everyone's individual struggles.

Guy wants to charge obese man $150 to sit next to him on a plane. Is he an a**hole?

Body shaming and fatphobia are huge issues that persist and cause palpable adverse affects on the people shamed. Studies have consistently found that fat people face discrimination from hiring managers, as well as at the doctor's office, and this doesn't even touch on the iceberg of negative social assumptions and dating prejudice. All of these institutional and social microaggressions can feed into an overall reduced quality of life and mental health issues (obviously not for everyone).

All this is to say, the world is very, very hostile towards fat people.

One of the daily activities where fat people face extra hurdles is airplane rides, a topic that has garnered much debate in past years. Because airplane seats tend to be rather narrow, a lot of airlines have taken to charging obese people for two tickets. This has sparked a huge debate for years, many people feel this is a cruel and shaming policy, and flights could simply widen their seats a bit (since they are truly uncomfortable for people of all sizes).

Still, others feel charging obese passengers for an extra ticket is logical, since it's a straightforward matter of taking up seat space.

This longstanding debate was brought back to life in a recent Reddit post, where user BigBawluh posted readers with this question: Am I the asshole for making an obese man pay me cash to take up part of my seat on a long flight?

Here is his post in full:

"So this month I was flying across the country on a long 5 hour flight, which I had booked and seats selected for. I specifically chose an aisle seat in a row of two, so no middle seat — just the aisle and window."

"Well, a very obese man boards and I can tell instantly he is going to have a tough time fitting in any of the seats. I assume maybe he bought two hence why he’s even attempting to board. I’m mentally crossing my fingers he’s not next to me, but sure enough he ends up pointing to the window seat next to me to let him in."

"I get up and let him in politely, wanting to at least give him a chance. Well, he sits down and is easily seeping into about 1/3 of my seat. I sit down and am pressed up against him, making me uncomfortable. After a minute, I decided to be upfront and tell him:"

“Sir, I’m sorry but this situation is not working for me, you’re taking up quite a bit of my seat”.

He wasn’t rude, but sort of gave me a shrug as if there’s not nothing he can do — although he did sort of tighten his arms in to try and be narrower. It just wasn’t enough, though. He still was overhanging over the armrest about 1/4th into my seat even when squeezing his arms in. I’m talking about fully hanging over the armrest into my seat."

"I end up stopping a flight attendant and ask her what can be done about the situation. She instantly tells him that he is likely going to need to purchase another seat. She goes to the front and comes back saying that there aren’t any open seats on this flight, so there wasn’t a way to move people so he could have two. This causes a very awkward silence."

"The guy seemed embarrassed and didn’t want to get up. He mentioned how he can’t wait for a later flight. I felt bad for him but I was also thinking about my own comfort on the long flight — the comfort I paid for. The flight attendant tells him that unless someone on the flight agrees to let him take up part of their seat, he’ll need to book another flight. The guy seems really flustered by this ultimatum, and here’s where I made my offer."

"I told the guy, “Look, I’ll put up with this if you give me $150 — that’s half the cost of this flight and that would compensate me enough for the circumstances.” He instantly agrees, pulls out cash and pays me. He even told me he appreciated it.

Well the people sitting behind me (who keep in mind didn’t volunteer to sit by him) were making under their breath comments about me being an asshole for doing that. I just ignored them and put the cash in my wallet."

"From my perspective, I gave the guy a valid option to stay on the flight and I was compensated for literally having only 75% of my seat max (let alone the feeling of a person’s body pressed against you involuntarily). A win-win. He wasn’t angry at all, if anything he seemed quite relieved we could work it out privately.

After the flight, the couple behind me glared at me but I ignored them. This leads me to beg the question, AITA?"

Commenters had wildly different interpretations of the event. Some people straight up believe the man is an asshole, while others claim the airline put both men in a horrible position, still, some thought charging the larger man $150 was completely fair given the circumstances.

clocksailor said it seemed like the man was blackmailing the other guy for being fat.

"YTA, I think.

The problem here was that this large dude stuck you with being uncomfortable on your flight, right? Well, the $150 didn't make you any less squished in your seat, so it really feels like you just blackmailed this guy for being fat. (the real asshole in this situation is the airline, IMO, but still.)"

"edit: this sub is for debating whether or not OP was a dick, not whether or not he was within his rights to seize an opportunity to get $150 out of a guy in a desperate situation. if you think OP is NTA, feel free to tell him. 700 copies of the same comments telling me what a cuck I am aren’t going to change my mind."

On the contrary, herefromthere felt it was irresponsible of the larger man to not make arrangements ahead of time.

"Guy knew he was fat, could have bought two seats but didn't. OP let the guy stay on the flight, have enough room to accommodate without paying for two seats and without the embarresment and inconvenience of having to get off and wait for the next flight that wasn't fully booked.

Having less than one seat to yourself for five hours is worth less than having a full seat to yourself for five hours. OP was compensated for his discomfort."

Briseadh agreed the situation was bad for everyone involved, but still felt the original poster acted a bit entitled about "letting" the other man stay on the plane. But overall, thought charging $150 wasn't out of line.

"It's less that he decided to squeeze some money and more that he felt he deserved some reimbursement in my opinion."

"The bigger guy likely knew he was inflicting this predicament on someone, I doubt he's that unaware of his size. I sympathise he's likely self conscious about it but at the end of the day he is his own responsibility. He could have bought 2 seats but took the decision to force another person to deal with his obesity rather than being proactive. He probably thought no one would challenge him. Yes the airline is culpable in having small seats, but is the alternative asking for people's weight /dress size whilst booking seats a palatable business model in this day and age of fat activists?"

"OP has paid as much as anyone else on that flight and gets a much reduced quality of service, due to the bigger guy. Now the airline wasn't going to compensate him, but obviously thought it was enough of an issue that they were going to kick the bigger guy onto a later flight."

"It's like buying a dented can or bruised piece of fruit from a shop for a discount. Yes the product is still "inferior", but the discount makes that palatable.

At the end of the day big guy gets to fly, OP doesn't feel aggrieved at having this shitty situation forced onto them (literally). And the bigger guy has still spent less than if he had originally bought a second seat, plus he will hopefully be more considerate of how his life choices affect others in future."

Perseverant claimed it was completely rational to charge $150, since the airline essentially gave the OP the power to kick the other guy off the flight.

"I just want to point out that OP did in fact have the, we'll say, "letting" power, since the flight attendant specifically stated that the obese man wouldn't have been able to stay on the flight unless someone "let" him share their seat. And this was definitely because the guy was obese. If this individual is obese, 99% of people can fit fine in airline seats (I'm a 6'2, somewhat heavy-set individual, and I can fit fine on Spirit Airlines), and this guy KNOWS he will be taking up more than one seat, than the burden should be on him, and not the people he will literally be spilling over onto. He should have paid for 2 seats to begin with. It doesn't matter if his feelings are hurt; if you don't fit, you don't fit."

What do you think, was he a supreme jerk here, or was this just a supremely awkward situation?

Kristen Bell shut down claims she 'exploited' a child actor in a diaper ad.

Kristen Bell is a hilariously talented angel.

Her marriage to Dax Shepard is 100% relationship goals and together they have two children ( Delta, 4, and Lincoln, 5) whose privacy they work hard to protect. Being a parent is hard enough, but it's definitely an added challenge when you're both famous. it's one thing for tabloids and cameras to follow you when you're an adult working in the industry you chose, it's another thing for children of celebrities who didn't choose to be famous to be forced to deal with unwanted attention.

When Bell posted an adorable advertisement for diapers she did with Shepard, some people were skeptical.

Maybe it's because of the fact that Bell and Shepard are a real-life couple so people took the ad more seriously than they would other commercials, but Bell wasn't going to take any sh*t. The child in the video isn't Bell and Shepard's real child and Bell told viewers her name isn't Jordan either.

Give it up for Kristen for being transparent about branded content on social media and how advertising actually works. Yes, she and Shepard are married and have children which is why this ad was funny, cute and effective. No, not everything you see celebrities do on Instagram is a real life depiction of their personal lives. Kristen probably had no control in the casting of this child actor and whether or not this little girl is being "exploited" is the responsibility of her parents.

Good job, Kristen!

Woman calls out entitled friend for expecting his ex to wait two years for him to ‘grow up.’

$

There are a lot of heavy emotional expectations placed on straight women in relationships. Whether through common media depictions or religion, narratives of women being perpetual nurturers are common, and while possessing emotional intelligence and empathy is a strength, setting boundaries is key.

One sadly persistent but true trope is the woman who helps a man grow, or "fixes" an emotionally broken man. Obviously, no one can actually "fix" another person, but a lot of straight men are raised with the concept of a female partner emotionally mothering and guiding them, and a lot of women have internalized this value.

In a healthy or ideal relationship both parties make emotional sacrifices, and it's natural to lean on each other through phases of growth and emotional turmoil. However, there is a big difference between that natural give-and-take, and a one-sided dynamic where the man expects the woman to be an endless well of forgiveness and emotional patience.

In many cases, given the heat of a relationship, it's easier to truly hear and accept criticism from friends and outside sources, versus the partner you've been emotionally dueling with.

So, when Twitter user Rev Rell caught wind of her male friend's emotional entitlement towards his ex, she decided to lay it all out for him (and eventually the internet).

It all started when her friend was dumped due to bad behavior, but he promised his ex he would work to become a better person, and able to be a partner once more.

Now, two years later, his ex has moved on and found a fiance, and he is livid that she didn't wait for him to grow up.

Rev Rell pointed out how selfish it was for him to take his time, a full two years, to get his life together, not make any big moves to get his ex back, and then have the audacity to feel betrayed when she found someone compatible.

She wrote that one of the biggest red flags about the situation is his expectation that his ex should have helped him "unpack" his issues, even after he mistreated her. As Rev Rell points out, this is a role better suited for a therapist or professional.

He apparently got upset at the concept of his ex moving on to her (now) fiance quickly, despite the fact that he cheated while they dated.

She also called out his friends for encouraging him to try to "get his ex back" when she's engaged, she called it straight up harassment, which is accurate.

She ended the thread by saying that she truly does love this friend, but it's important to not sugarcoat things for entitled men.

The thread immediately went viral for how clearly it calls out toxic dynamics and entitlement.

Several people shared just how close this thread hit to home.

It's never easy to let someone go if you still have feelings for them, but learning the lines between entitlement and loyalty are crucial if you want to be in a healthy partnership.


Southern mom's response to concerned text about her daughter 'dating a black boy' goes hugely viral.

In a viral Facebook post, a mom responded to a text from a schmuck implying that it was bad that her daughter was dating a black man, in a glimpse at what would be all over Facebook if the website had existed in the 1950s (or 1800s).

Heather Boyer, a mom in Houston, Mississippi, shared an adorable picture of her daughter smiling with her boyfriend, and while most people were happy for their happiness, some person decided to text Boyer, "I didn’t know she was dating a black boy, did you?"

Boyer was understandably stunned, and rather than respond to the text individually, she wrote a public post for every racist still clutching their pearls over inter-racial relationships.

"The color of his skin doesn’t define who he is. What does define who is he is how he treats my daughter," Boyer wrote, and also listed ways in which the "black boy" is the best boyfriend.

The post went viral, with over 1.3 million (MILLION!!!) likes.

Today my daughter changed her profile picture. After maybe 5 minutes I get a text ..” I didn’t know she was dating a black boy, did you?”
It took me all day to think up a response, which I didn’t send personally but thought I would share for anyone else that “may not know”
Yes in fact I did know, but the color of his skin doesn’t define who he is. What does define who is he is how he treats my daughter.
I see my daughter dating a boy that comes to my house and shows me nothing but respect (a big deal in my book). It’s always Yes Ma’am, No Ma’am, we talk about football and baseball, he tells me bye when he leaves, and has not once shown me a lack of manners or respect.
I see my daughter dating a boy who treats her good. He takes her on dates, to ballgames, out to eat..not to a club or partying on the weekends.
I see my daughter dating a boy who takes her to church with him. Every Sunday. He plays in the band, she sits with his family. How many young men these days make church a priority? None of the others have.
He doesn’t hit her, cuss her, lie to her, or make her cry. Would I rather her date a white boy that did, to keep from her dating another race? Absolutely not.

So that’s my response to the question I was asked. And I know people have their own opinion, but at the end of the day, the fact that my daughter has someone that loves her and treats her like a queen makes me happy. That’s something I’ve never had in my life and I’m glad she does.

Among the 80,000 comments, people shared stories of the interracial couples in their lives.

Hopefully you don't need me to whitesplain this to you, but love is love is love is love, and there is nothing wrong with being black! It's not something somebody has to "transcend" with good deeds!

Being racist, however, is hugely shameful. If you see someone you know dating a racist, it is important you text them about it.

20 texts from 'nice guys' who should probably be in jail.

By now, it should be common human knowledge that the more you yell about how you have a trait, the less it naturally shows in your personality. In most cases, generous people don't have to scream about how they're generous, because the generosity shows in their actions. Likewise, the more someone says the literal words "I'm not racist" the more likely you are to witness some ignorance.

Perhaps the most widespread and ultimate example of this manner of contradiction is the internet's plague of "nice guys" who in one fell swoop will claim they are nice and "not like other guys," But then, will quickly lodge into abuse and self-pitying entitlement the moment a woman ignores them.

Sadly, there are dozens upon dozens of examples of men claiming they are a "nice guy" while harassing and berating women. These tk examples only scratch the surface.

The internet reacts to Jordyn Woods’ emotional interview with Jada Pinkett Smith.

If you're up to date on the latest Kardashian family drama, then you've been hearing a lot about Jordyn Woods. Tristan Thompson, Khloe's former fiancé and the father of her son True, allegedly cheated on her with Jordyn - Kylie's longtime BFF and part of the family's inner circle.

Today, Jada Pinkett Smith interviewed Jordyn on Red Table Talk, the Facebook Watch show she does with her daughter Willow and her mother Adrienne. Ends up the Smith, Kardashian, and Woods families are connected through Jordyn; her father John Woods was a sound engineer on 'The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air', where he befriended Will. Their sons Trey and Josh became close friends, as did Jordyn and Jaden later on. With that necessary context provided, Jada and Jordyn dug into the scandal, Jordyn's version of events, and how the public's scrutiny has affected her.

Jordyn Woods Shares The Truth

Jordyn Woods comes to The Red Table for an emotional first interview about the public scandal involving NBA Star Tristan Thompson, the father of Khloe Kardashian's daughter. She addresses the rumors and accusations. What really happened that night? It’s an RTT exclusive.

Posted by Red Table Talk on Friday, March 1, 2019

To say the Internet had reactions would be a gross understatement. People wanted the TEA, honey.

People are glad that Jada, an established Hollywood star with a media platform, allowed Jordyn an opportunity to express herself.

Not that everyone has sympathy for Jordyn, however.

More importantly, when will Jada invite this '49 yr old father of 2' to the Red Table so they can discuss the juicy details he's teasing?
