5. Prince William, because the royal tea on his alleged royal affair has yet to stop spilling.

His fidelity (allegedly) went the way of his hair.

Yesterday was a big Father's Day for royal gossip.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex presented the world with an adorable glimpse at Baby Archie's tiny fingers.

And on an extremely less wholesome note, British tabloids published pieces on the scuttlebutt amongst the aristocracy, who definitely call gossip "scuttlebutt."

The Daily Mail published a lengthy piece about the state of Prince William's alleged mistress Rose Hanbury's marriage.

Earlier this month, Queen Elizabeth II hosted a state banquet for Donald Trump at Buckingham Palace, and the Royal Family got in the Trumpian spirit by having an alleged mistress there.

People noticed that the marchioness/mistress wasn't wearing her wedding ring, which suggests that there's trouble in paradise for the esteemed Cholmondeleys of Houghton Hall.

Hanbury's husband, 58-year-old David Rocksavage, has reportedly been spending a lot of time in Paris since the rumors of the affair began circulating, "while Rose is left alone to run their magnificent country seat, 106-room Houghton Hall with its 1,000-acre estate bordering Sandringham." Sad?

"Royal sources" have spoken to The Daily Mail about the ordeal and have hammered home the narrative about how unfair the rumors are for the poor aristocrats.

One royal source insisted the whole saga was simply 'malicious gossip' from someone 'who appears to have an agenda to discredit William and Kate'.

'David and Rose have been real victims in all of this too. They are not public figures and it is very unfair. It has all got completely out of hand,' the source added. 'It's just really upsetting for everyone.'

A spokesman for the Cholmondeleys said: 'There is no foundation to any of the tabloid articles that have appeared. There is nothing else to say whatsoever.'

The Sun is also reporting that Hanbury has been advised by official royal aides to "say nothing" about the affair, after previously publishing-and-deleting a comment from her brother.

An old post on The Sun said that somebody said that Hanbury said of the Rose and William rumors:

“It seems to have started because she had one or two suppers with William in Norfolk when Kate was away.”

“But it was hardly as if they were meeting behind Kate’s back – of course she knew they were getting together. And Kate was grateful that a good friend and neighbour like Rose was there to entertain William.”

But as Celebitchynotes, those lines were deleted, likely because an "unsupervised dinner" could be read as a euphemism for banging.

I don't think that the Palace's strategy of trying to get us to shut up about a sex scandal by presenting an aristocrat who allegedly banged the future king as sympathetic is going to work out so well.


4. The Parkland teen whose Harvard admission was rescinded over racial slurs, because Harvard Men™ don't get caught.

Kyle Kashuv
"Your honor, I applied to Harvard at 17. Please don’t hold me accountable for what I said at 16."

While the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School mobilized many survivors to fight for gun safety and begin the March For Our Lives, at least one student's takeaway was that America needs more guns, and his name is Kyle Kashuv.

Kyle Kashuv's outlier status among the Parkland teens made him a conservative media darling, and he became BFFs with Fox News and their most famous employee, President Trump.

America is the greatest country in the world.

A post shared by Kyle Kashuv (@kylekashuv) on

Kashuv was such a staple of the conservative movement that it was revealed he used racial slurs, calling black student athletes "n----jocks" and spamming an AP US History study guide with the N-word.

A month after his racists notes and texts were revealed, Harvard University rescinded his admission. It turns out that racial slurs can get you kicked out of Harvard when they're precisely what gets you invited to Princeton.

Many a racist has gone to Harvard, but they either didn't get caught being racist before they became Secretary of State or had rich enough parents to buy and keep their slot.

Kashuv's fellow conservative pundits are absolutely AGHAST at this turn of events, like Ben Shapiro, who fears for a future in which people are held to the impossible standard of not using racial slurs.

First of all, Mr. Shapiro, why would you call this an "auto-da-fe" when the pun "N-word-quisition" is RIGHT THERE?

Secondly, it's interesting to see Shapiro's take on which teenagers are worthy of sympathy.

It's racists all the way down.


3. Cardi B, she suffered the twerking-induced wardrobe malfunction of your nightmares.

Let 'er rip.

Midway through her set at Bonnaroo Music and Arts (But Mostly Molly) Festival, Cardi B's catsuit tore open, but she didn't let it tear up her heart.

The Tennesseanreports that Cardi's unitard split from the back, exposing her buttcrack and causing her to stop the show to say, "I just wanna let y’all know that my outfit rip."

She then emerged in a bathrobe, saying, "We gonna keep it moving, baby. We gonna keep it sexy. I don’t know how in this (expletive) robe, but we gonna do it!"

Cardi is an absolute pro, and because she tends to have more wardrobe malfunctions than wardrobe functions, she knows how to make lemonade. It's a real bummer that she couldn't do her choreography under all that terry cloth.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the fans in the audience who were unsure whether or not Cardi was indeed in a bathrobe or if they were just having a crazy trip.


2. The Pakistani politician who accidentally turned into a cat.

A Facebook live stream of Shaukat Yousafzai
The most embarrassing moment of his nine lives.

Pakistani regional minister Shaukat Yousafzai was streaming a press conference on Facebook Live and accidentally activated the adorable cat filter.

Yousafzai never looked more adorable while talking about the goings on of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province in northwest Pakistan.

Look's like that cat is out of the bag.


1. Everyone at the Democratic National Committee who was involved in this tweet.

This is a savage ratio of world-historical proportions.

DNC hack tweets is the new DNC hack, and it spells bad news for 2020.

The levels of "how do you do, fellow kids?" is a weird way to pump up people who just the white supremacist guy gone and access to healthcare.

There has got to be a better way to win.


19 hilarious texts from babysitters that'll make you stay in tonight. Um, he's peeing on the plants.

Unless nobody trusted you even with your own life, you've probably been a babysitter at some point.

The best gigs were neighbors who had newborns that just needed to someone to be there while the baby was asleep. Getting paid to watch TV and eat your goldfish? Thank you.

While watching your own children is a difficult enough job, looking out for the safety of someone else's is a whole different game. I once babysat a family whose three kids filled a water gun with ​​​​​​Hawaiian punch and sprayed my white pants in the crotch with it. Kids! They're evil?

Thank god for good babysitters, though. They give parents a bit of relief and time to go on dates or have a night of adult conversation instead of listening to impressions of Peppa Pig.

Here are some babysitters who are doing it RIGHT.

1. Self expression is key.

2. Oh no.

20 people share the most disturbing secrets they've ever been told. The cousin is the daddy.

Secrets secrets are no fun, secrets secrets hurt someone. That is, unless they are kept for very good reasons, and unleashing the dark truth will hurt more than help.

A secret can be as harmless as silently hating someone's new hair cut, or as insidious as knowing your married coworker's giving birth to her side-guy's baby. Being asked to keep someone else's secret can be both an honor and a burden.

Sometimes, there are ethical questions surrounding a secret, and one is saddled with the question of whether or not it's your responsibility to tell people implicated in the secret. Other times, a secret is so dark and heavy it's tempting to get your friend help, even if that means breaking their trust.

In a recent Reddit thread, people shared the most disturbing secrets they've been told, and you'll quickly understand why they were secret in the first place.

1. Sandpaper_Pants mother carried a traumatizing secret.

"When I was about 10 years old, my mom told me that when she was 12 years old, she was in bed at night (she lived in Puerto Rico). She heard her mom and dad arguing in the kitchen. Her dad might have been drunk, I don't recall if my mom said. She heard her mom screaming and then go silent. Her dad had stabbed her mom to death. He went to prison. My mom and her siblings got adopted out to other families."

2. ignoremsmedia knows too much about their coworker.

"A co-worker told me her 2nd child wasn't her husbands.

Did not need that information."

3. DarkSideOfLife500 was the last person who talked to an acquaintance.

"Girl I knew had just gotten fired from her job and was planning on jumping off a bridge. The job meant everything to her. I talked to her over 4 hours on the phone pleading with her and she eventually decided not to jump.

So she went home and shot herself instead."

4. Wrong_Answer_Willie had to keep their dad's affair a secret.

"Dad introduced me to his girlfriend when I was 15 years old.

"Now, don't tell your Mama."

5. Bluffss has to protect their friend by keeping mum about an Olympian.

"As a young teenager one of my closest female friend was raped by her cousin (who was the same age as her) multiple times over the course of 3 years. Eventually her father found out about this and a trial happened. That cousin ended up having nothing much more than a fine and kind of a "warning we watch over you now".

"This guy is now on the run to compete in the next Olympic Games, and my friend is fucking broken from the inside and barely able to trust males. I'm one of the few persons outside of the family who knows."

6. justusethatname got confided in about a childhood death.

"In 1994 a now retired judge told me he and two childhood friends were responsible for the accidental death of a classmate down by a creek where they were playing one day. He had pretty much kept it to himself for a lifetime."

7. Augusta13 may have hooked up with a murderer.

"A guy I hooked up with in college had a breakdown when we were black out drunk and essentially admitted to killing a guy who had taken advantage of his little sister and burying the body. He was a total wiener of a guy who was always trying to hype himself up and exaggerate to be a bigger, better, “manlier” person so I didn’t think much of it at the time."

"The timing would have made him a teenager and the man a full fledged adult. It just felt like another bullshit story he was always telling. But sometimes I think back and wonder if there’s any truth to it."

8. Whispers8764's aunt put them in danger.

"My aunt (who I don't speak to anymore) was talking to me about my granddad who died when I was 2, saying how he loved taking me to the park and hanging out with me and stuff like that when she was babysitting me. My mum then explained to me a few years later that he was a pedophile and had done stuff to all of his kids and my aunt's daughter, but that he wasn't ever allowed near me."

"So basically, my aunt used to let my granddad who was a pedophile hang out and let me stay with him for a day without my parents ever knowing."

"Edit: I just wanted to add on and answer some questions:

I haven't told my mum-But I've debated it sometimes. I realized that she had a fear that something, like she'd experienced, would happen to me and she said that it would destroy her because she said that she would basically become her mother, by letting it happen without her knowing."

"I don't really know for sure why my aunt allowed it to happen but she told me that she suffered from MPD and sees a therapist because of what happened to her, but when she moved out she forced herself to forget I guess and denied what my mum and another aunt were saying. My mum told me that she thinks that she still loved their dad and kept him in her life was because she thought that he loved her because of what he'd done. Bit creepy though."

"I don't know If anything ever happened to me because I was too young to remember (between being born and 2 years old) and I don't know how I'd know if I want to know. I've been through lots slightly similar situations (basically sexual assault) and that's already messed me up mentally quite a bit, so I dunno If I found out that something actually did happen."

"Thanks guy's for the comments, I didn't actually think that anyone would actually read it let alone comment. I've never spoken to anyone about what happened/could've happened and I think I've relieved the tension slightly that it's caused me, but I'm confident now that my grandmother and aunt are batshit fucking crazy"

9. WolfeS93's classmate opened up about a really scary bipolar episode.

"My classmate in high school, I thought he was pretty weird but also a nice guy. Turned out he’s bipolar and he manages it with medication. But one time he was off it and he lost control in an argument with his little brother. He ended up beating the living crap out of the poor kid. Once he regained his senses and realized what he did, he tried to kill himself. I’m not sure how, he didn’t specify. His dad was also an abusive drunk douchebag, who occasionally beat him up. He told the story pretty calmly. I really hope he’s doing much better now."

10. ariannegreyjoy's friend dated a guy who had sex with his cousin.

"My friend was telling me about how jealous she was of her boyfriend spending time with one of his female cousins instead of her."

"Me: “I mean, that’s his family though, don’t you think you’re being a bit psycho getting jealous of him spending time with his own cousin?”

"Her: “Well he fucked his other one!”

Me: “............I’m sorry, WHAT??!”

"Turns out he’d lost his virginity to a different female cousin when they were teenagers 💀"

11. SpiderSmoothie's sister married into a very questionable family.

"My sister is married to a man that had two daughters by one of his cousins. One of the children, she thinks, was conceived during a threesome between them."

Yeah. Bad part is that my niece and nephew know that their cousins are their sisters also. It's really messed up. Also, fun fact that I find absolutely hilarious considering the current memes going around, guess where my brother-in-law is from?

12. sleepdaddy knows a horrible family secret.

"I found it out myself. My immediate older sister is cheating on her husband with my oldest sister's husband. Both the couple seem to be in a happy and healthy marriage with kids. Wtf!"

"Edit : Sorry for keeping you guys hanging. Now to answer your questions - No they do not know that i know. And yes we do see them on family occasions."

"My cheating sister is always on her phone, doesn't attend late night family meetings between cousins and one night i saw her chatting. It was really late. So next day i check her phone (i wish i didn't) and BAM! Wall of romantic and intimate texts. Seems like they masturbate on video calls and exchange pictures and videos. Cant say for sure if they have slept yet but my sister is very eager to."

"I just told my younger brother and my fiancée only; was almost about to spill it out to my mom but didn't wanna ruin two families. Also my sister acts like a saint in front of us. Also the cheating brother in law is kinda asshole to us so we(me my brother and my cousins) don't like him, cheating sister pretends to dislike him in front if us but the chat says otherwise."

13. ailatesor worked with a full on arsonist.

"This girl I worked with over the summer told me how she burnt down her highschool.

And we worked at a summer camp. None of the parents knew the girl watching their kids was a fucking arsonist"

14. CoffeeInBot survived evening news hell.

"It was in 6th grade, and I was about 11 years old at the time. A girl in my class had been missing from school for quite a while. We asked our teacher what the problem was, but she refused to answer. We then kind of just let it slide and didn't think about it anymore. A few weeks later, there was a story in the news about a 12 year old girl, who had been impregnated by a 39 year old man."

"We joked around saying that it was probably her, until she finally came to class one morning and told everyone that it was true. I have literally never seen a classroom that silent before in my life."

15. skeletorsleftlung's coworker accidentally had a Game of Thrones style love affair.

"I've told the story on here before, but a girl I worked with once told me about her first love. They dated for a while, fell madly in love and lost their virginities to each other. Her family situation was weird. Her parents weren't married, but when her dad was in town, her parents were a couple and when he wasn't they weren't. Well one of the times that he was in town, she introduced him to her boyfriend."

"They got along and got to talking and he asked about the kids family. After the kid went home, her dad told her she couldn't see him anymore. Turns out he was the kid's father. She'd unknowingly fallen in love with and lost her virginity to her half brother. And yes, I know this also happened on an episode of House. I was told this story back in '99 before that show was a thing."

16. thisiscreative2020's ex had specific desires.

"My ex-girlfriend told me that she was into macrophilia, like she wanted to be a giant and shit and for me to be small and shove me into her snatch. it always freaked me out when she brought it up. I haven’t told anyone except you fine people of reddit."

17. canadadryistheshit knows about their aunt's painful past.

"I always thought my Aunt who suffers from a bit of depression and anxiety never had children because of depression and anxiety. However, I managed to piece some things together. I was with her last month and we were talking about life and catching up. I'm finally an adult so we talked more about life in general, got onto the topic of religion. She had later revealed to me that she was gang raped by a few catholic boys at her church, which is why she left religion. I later asked my mother (her sister) about it and I come to find out a really morbid story."

"It's a long story but I will tl;dr it."

"My aunt was raped at night in a park. She was pregnant and sent off to another state by my grandparents for her senior year of high school. She had the child but a family adopted the child. My aunt returned to her home state. 6 years later my mom was sitting at the bar my Aunt was bar-tending at, noticed my aunt was off. My Aunt received a letter from the adopted child's family notifying her that her child was killed in a car accident that day. Only my mother, my aunt and my grandparents were aware of this as they kept it under the radar from the entire family. Now I know and honestly wish I hadn't."

"I always thought my aunt was moody but now I can understand why. I wish I could do something for her."

"Edit: This was over 30 years ago. Which is why I say, "I wish I could do something for her." - She didn't tell me details past the rape story. My mother told me the rest. So clearly she has been holding this in for almost her entire life and doesn't want people to know. I live extremely far away from my aunt as well. It's not like I can just show up at her doorstep. This is something where I told myself to tread lightly. I see her once every few years. While I am close with her, I'm in no position to help with her grievance process other than to see her every couple of years."

"I lost two of my good friends from high school and I prefer to never be asked about it because I've accepted the way I handle those losses years later. Obviously, if she was having life threatening issues over this I would intervene but my aunt is stable. Thank you for your concerns everyone, I wish she could see the comments and support but I think I'd be opening a can of worms that would cause a family meltdown. - Some things are better left unsaid and untouched. She does not know that I know."

18. Marmite_and_icecream has to watch their daughter like a hawk.

"My next door neighbour has recently been arrested and charged with historic child sex offences and is awaiting trial, but because he has not gone to trial yet we cannot do anything about it since innocent until proven guilty even though we have a 7 year old daughter that he has shown a keen interest in (we thought he was just a lonely old man trying to be nice)."

"So now we have a few months wait to see what is going to happen. Have to resist the urge to tell anyone in the area and even though it makes me sick, legally if I do anything I will end up in jail myself, So we have to just be very vigilant where he is concerned and keep him at arms length without letting on to our girl that he may be a 'bad man'."

19. Olderthanrock got the insider scoop on how ACAB.

"Chicago detective told me how they would wrap a dry cleaner bag over someone’s face to get them to sign a confession."

20. PaterMcKinley's wife has a cousin who was purchased.

"My wife told me that one of her cousins is actually a baby bought from another family member who was "too young" to keep the baby."

Woman asks if she's an a*shole for potentially getting her 'creepy' male coworkers fired.

$

Getting a workplace crush is fairly natural, but in corporate jobs with high career stakes it's looked down upon for obvious reasons. When you get involved with a coworker, it's likely the situation will get messy, so it's usually safest to let workplace crushes run their course quietly, without making a scene of things.

Regardless of whether you secretly think your manager is cute or you end up marrying your cubicle mate, the absolute worst thing to do with your workplace feelings is put a coworker into a nightmare rom com scenario.

In a recent post on the subreddit Am I The Asshole, a woman shared how she ended up reporting two male coworkers for freaking out on a recent work trip and making her "pick one" despite the fact that she's dated neither of them.

"AITA for reporting two coworkers and potentially getting them fired?"

"Lest anyone think that this is a clear 'NTA' situation, I want to make it clear that I don't take people losing their jobs or having their careers ruined lightly."

"Last weekend, I went to a professional conference with two male coworkers, Sam and Dave. I'm a woman. I noticed on Friday night that they were both being awkward and tense, but I thought that it was just nerves because we had to present in the morning. On Saturday morning they were incredibly tense with each other, which led to an awkward presentation, and then we were in separate panels all afternoon."

Throughout the trip she noticed they were being particularly tense around her, but she chalked it up to work stress.

"I went out to lunch with a few people I met and while I was gone I got about ten texts each from Sam and Dave asking where I was, if I was okay, etc. I thought this was weird because we didn't have plans to eat lunch together and we never eat lunch together or hang out at the office."

"After the last panel on Sat, Sam asks me if I want to get dinner. I tell him that I'm meeting up later with a friend so I wouldn't be around. About ten minutes later, Dave finds me and asks me out for dinner and (assuming Sam and Dave would be together) said, "Oh I already talked to Sam, I have plans tonight, sorry.' Dave gets upset and says, 'Sam already asked you?' and I couldn't figure out why he was upset."

Then, one by one, they both asked her out and got weirded out when she said no.

"Sunday afternoon, everything comes to a head as we are waiting for an Uber for the train and the two almost get physical and have to be separated by another attendee from the conference. I was talking to colleague so I didn't catch it but I asked them what was going on and was told they've been 'fighting' over me all weekend and were 'fighting' over who got to sit next to me on the train and that I needed to pick which one of them would sit next to me."

Tension came to a head when they were on the way home from the work trip, and both men demanded OP "pick one" of them. When she said no, they freaked out and claimed she had shown them romantic feelings and both of them separately sent her floods of text messages.

"I honestly said, 'Neither of you' and this led to them basically giving me an angry, "It's him or me" speech about which one of them I have ROMANTIC FEELINGS for, and I told them neither of them. There is more to this and they said a lot more weird things, but I’m approaching the character limit. Both texted me repeatedly on my WORK PHONE from the train, but left me alone once we got back home and I took an Uber home."

Once she returned to work, she reported both of them for their inappropriate behavior.

"On Monday, I immediately reported them, with a breakdown of their behavior and copies of all texts and e-mails. I also told my bosses that I was frankly not impressed with their presentation. My bosses both take sexual harassment in the lab seriously, and I was told that this could lead to them both being fired and losing funding for projects they're working on."

Since their workplace is strict on sexual harassment, OP is aware her report could lose both men their jobs, and now she has brought the situation to the internet to see if she's the a*shole for reporting them.

"AITA for reporting this? I talked to a couple of colleagues who said it sounded like 'awkward boys with a crush' but I'm 31 and they are at least as old as me. But we've all worked extremely hard to get where we are in our careers and this could derail their careers and blacklist them in the field."

vivekorn thinks the men had it coming.

"NTA.

That was weird and confusing. Why should you have to choose one of them? You aren't a prize to be won."

Ayresx called the coworkers what they really are: entitled white knights.

"Ah yes, when 2 white knights orbit too close they form a black hole, NTA"

weezythebtch thinks they deserved to be reported, and commended OP for preventing them from pushing boundaries further.

"NTA, they didn't respect professional boundaries, or even know they existed apparently. Now they do, and hopefully they won't pull this crap again. You did the right thing reporting them OP"

SelectNetwork1 knows it's a slippery slope, and if these men act this way with a peer, who knows how they would act with a subordinate.

"NTA. This kind of behavior should derail their careers, because otherwise, they just end up doing this same kind of thing to people they have more power over."

lekkerdassie perhaps summed it up best by pointing out that the office trip was not an episode of The Bachelorette.

"NTA, they are there to work end deliver great work for the company ... it is not "The Bachelorette" TV show."

Mom asks the internet if it's okay to tweeze her baby's unibrow — and opinions are surprisingly divided

$

In the pantheon of things that should worry you about your baby, facial hair is probably not that high up.

But one parent has admitted to the internet that her baby's unibrow bothers her so much, she's been secretly tweezing it off. And when she asked whether this makes her an asshole, answers were somewhat surprisingly divided.

The mom posted on Reddit's /r/AmItheAsshole sub about her newfound penchant for tweezing off her precious angel's brow hairs.

"I gave birth 15 months ago to a beautiful baby girl," she wrote. "She’s always been hairy. It’s nice in a way because she was born with hair on her head and she has really full eyelashes. But she also developed a unibrow."

Wow. That's a lot of thought to put into your baby's appearance. Moving on:

For aesthetic reasons, I decided to pluck it while she slept. If she woke up I would stop. I managed to get it all off in a couple days.

I didn’t really think of this as being a bad thing. But a fellow mom friend of mine [...] mentioned my daughter’s eyebrows. I was honest and said I plucked the middle while she slept. She had this horrified look and said she was surprised that I did that.

OP goes on to say this made her feel "a little insecure" about her decision to augment her baby's appearance. And she asks for "honest feedback" from the Reddit community.

First, let's go through the "YTA" or "you're the asshole" contingent. User AquaticDramatic puts it succinctly:

Wtf is wrong with someone who cares about their baby's EYEBROWS?! Way to cement those self esteem issues nice and early, 10/10 parenting

Another chimed in with a harrowing tale of child brow maintenance:

My mom started waxing my eyebrows around the time I went to kindergarten. She’d pin me to the floor to get it done if I struggled. [...] My self esteem is shaky at best & every time I look at my brows (which are my biggest insecurity), I’m reminded my mom thinks I’m ugly too.

Another questioned whether anyone could actually be so shallow as to tweeze a baby's brows.

I’m honestly questioning if this is real. I refuse to believe someone could be so conceited that they could sit there and pull individual hairs out of their baby’s head over the course of several days and not once question what they were doing.

But there are plenty of "NTA," or "not the asshole," responses in this thread to prove that plenty of people are fully willing to consider tweezing a baby's brows. Ummm.. WTF.

"I'm sure I'll get downvoted for this opinion," one user wrote, "but it's your baby." They continued:

If she's not waking up, she's obviously okay. I have no kids so maybe I'm the asshole for thinking this way, but she will be teased once she gets to school age. If you do it now, you're building a pain tolerance for later.

Others agreed that the mom might be doing her baby a favor by nipping the brow in the bud.

Another user said it's no worse than piercing a baby's ears.

People pierce babies ears and style their hair in ways that's painful because they think it's cute. You did something that I am 100% sure that will be a part of her normal grooming habits. People are over reacting.

Ear piercing might not be quite the same as deciding something's wrong with your baby's natural appearance... but go off I guess.

Another user likened the tweezing to giving your baby a haircut or a bath.

Guess what? Babies get haircuts. It's aesthetic. Babies get put in cute clothes. It's aesthetic. Apparently children have to dress and look 110% utilitarian until they're old enough to dress themselves, or they will literally be scarred for life.

Getting a bath is probably more uncomfortable for the baby than this. She did it while the baby was asleep for God's sake.

Haircuts and baths don't cause actual pain. And I'm no parent but I've heard through the grapevine that bathing is kind of a necessity.

But... there you have it. According to Reddit at least, the jury is still out on whether or not it's an asshole move to pluck your baby's eyebrows. We'd like to add one more opinion to the internet jury for consideration, though: baby unibrows are cute as hell.

OJ Simpson is allegedly already using his new Twitter account to send knife emojis to his enemies

OJ Simpson is wasting no time in "gettin' even" through the wonders of Twitter, like he promised he would when he fired up his brand new account last week.

Yes, the former football player and accused-but-acquitted murderer is back in the headlines now that he's been sprung from jail and started tweeting. This has to be the worst '90s throwback since bucket hats.

He says he's still learning the ropes when it comes to the garbage fire that is Twitter. But a new report from the New York Post suggests that he's got one Twitter feature down pat already: intimidating enemies through direct message.

An OJ parody account called "@KillerOJSimpson" claims OJ himself sent the account "a series of menacing direct messages — including a string of 16 knife emojis and the warning that 'I WILL FIND YOUR ASS AND CUT YOU,'" according to the Post. Uhhh, subtle!

The person who runs that account posted a video that shows the alleged DMs.

The Post notes that it hasn't verified these messages, and they could have been faked. The parody account holder claims that Simpson told him to delete the account, then became threatening.

“Like I said, delete this ‘Parody’ account as you call it or face serious consequences by me," the message that's allegedly from OJ reads. "I’ll find your ass one way or another so don’t mess with me. I got nothing to lose. Grow up!”

The account holder then clicks out of the DMs to show OJ's page.

Simpson has mostly been posting videos on his account, with the first one saying, "I've got a little gettin' even to do." The account still isn't verified by Twitter. If these threatening messages are real, it's possible Twitter could shut his page down for breaking the platform's terms of service — but of course, Twitter has been selective in enforcing those rules in the past.

As you may know, Simpson was accused of murdering his wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her alleged lover, Ron Goldman. His trial for their murders was undoubtedly the most watched trial of the 20th century. (It also spawned lots and lots of 21st-century reality TV stars, because the world is deeply weird.)

The 25th anniversary of those murders was just a few days before Simpson fired up his new Twitter account. Stay classy, OJ.

As far as evil prolific tweeters go, Simpson is giving our commander in chief a run for his money. He took Father's Day as an opportunity to post a v informative video dispelling rumors that he's Khloé Kardashian's secret dad.

OJ has a track record of being incredibly honest and trustworthy, so I guess we can put that issue to bed for good.

Nightmare bridezilla asks guest to cover up tattoos because they 'clash' with wedding theme.

$

I dream of getting married one day so that I can gather all of my friends and loved ones together in one place and behave like an abusive psycho towards them! JK, maybe. All the brides I've ever met have been chill as hell, but from what I've read online, there's something about being a bride seems to trigger the worst behavior imaginable in some people. A prime example of this was recently shared by a wedding guest in this popular Wedding Shaming Facebook group and the story is so insane it went viral. The guest, who wishes to have her and her acquaintances' names kept anonymous, shared a story of an absolute nightmare bridezilla who asked her (via text) to cover up her tattoos and her hair because they "clash with the theme" of the wedding. And then, the guest continued to post updates as the plot thickened and the bridezilla's behavior got, somehow, even worse.

In her original post, the beleaguered wedding guest wrote:

Shaming this bride to be. I have worked really hard to get along with this girl. I was originally friends with her fiancé & when she and him got together my partner and I were not fans of her. But she is usually pretty sweet and makes him super happy so we made an effort to like her & become good friends. She has been kind of challenging at times but mostly we’ve gotten along.

They’re getting married in December and she’s just texted me this. I have tattoos down both my arms to my wrists - the venue is outdoors and in the hottest part of the year and she expects me to wear a long sleeved dress or a jacket? Not to mention dye my goddamn hair.

She mentions me texting her fiancé because anytime I text him about plans she gets super pissed and claims I’m trying to cut her out - even though they’re both always invited.

Edit: I haven’t told the fiancé yet, but we are seeing them in two weeks so I’ll bring it up in person, just trying to avoid making things worse by texting him 🙄

Then she shared this series of texts she received from the bride, whose need for control knows NO bounds:

WHAT FRESH HELL IS THIS????

This woman might be one of the most entitled brides of all time—and she has a LOT of competition. Then it gets even worse, because the woman who posted the initial screenshots followed up with some updates, each juicier and more infuriating then the last. She writes:

UPDATEEE:
Guys
GUYS
GUYSSSSSSS

Sorry it took so long but between this and some family junk the last two days have been nuts. I am writing this right before bed so if I don’t answer any questions I’m probably asleep lol.

OKAY SO

I called [Groom] on Saturday & asked about catching up. He was really weird and vague about it and I immediately thought he knew about the post 😂

But about an hour later he texted me and asked to get a beer last night. Just him and us (my partner came too), no [Bride]

So we met up last night and HOLY SHIT [Bride] - but there are kind of reasons.

So [Groom] asks me if I’ve spoken to her lately and I just decide to dive straight in and tell him about the texts. Show them to him. And he says he thought I must’ve gotten something because she has been sending crazy af demands to basically everyone. These are the worst ones.

- Demanded the MOH cut her hair short so it wouldn’t be longer than hers on the day
- Told all his groomsmen (behind his back) that they would have to wear full tux’s on the day
- Texted all the male guests she could telling the full suits were required on the day & they would be barred from entry if they aren’t wearing one
- Sent the officiant a script for the day which was like a 2 hour ceremony and said if she deviated she would not be paid (the officiant threatened to cancel)
- Called his mother and told her she needed to dye her hair brunette because she needed to be the only blonde on the day
- They also said children welcome on invites but she texted a bunch of their friends who have kids saying their kids were not well behaved enough to come that only people with good children could bring them
- Told a few guests who had dietary requirements that they were just pretending so they could get special food and they wouldn’t be accomodated

[Groom] had no idea about any of these until his mother called him furious about the hair thing on Thursday & he discovered all the other crazy shit she had said. There was more but these were the main things.

Buuuuuuut

[Groom] isn’t going to dump her, apparently she’s had some issues with her family (I’m not going to say what cause it would be really uncool to share her private family matters) and he thinks that’s the cause of this sudden unreasonableness. She was totally on track before that and the suddenly in like a 3 day span sent all this stuff. They are considering postponing the wedding though.

It absolutely does not make her rude ass behaviour okay, but it does make a little more sense because she was being unbelievably ridiculous. Poor [Groom] has been trying to patch things over since finding out & trying to avoid having half his friends and family cut them out.

[Groom] does want to have her apologise to everyone but she’s still in a bad place & isn’t going to be doing that yet at least.

Sooooo yeah. I mean I feel bad that she’s having a hard time but also man holy fuck poor every person who has been on the receiving end of this stuff.

I did tell him about the post and the articles about it but honestly I don’t think he really cared, he just wanted to drink and talk. But he’ll tell her & I said if she wants to talk to me about it she can.
——————————————————————-
Minor Update: Okay so no she hasn’t seen this yet 😬 I am going to try and reach out the the fiancé today instead of waiting two weeks just because this has spread more than I anticipated lol. I will update after I talk to him or with anything else lol.

Commenters are not holding back in their thoughts about this hellish bride. With few exceptions, most people are trashing her terrible behavior:

Many are encouraging the guest to text the groom (which she already did), to skip the wedding (good idea), or to sh*t on the bride (if you're a bird):

This woman, who is in the small minority, defended the bride:

Seems like the point is not about the money, but about this bride being a huge freaking control freak psycho nightmare. Anyway, I echo the sentiments of this person:

I hope that this guest showed up to the wedding, tattoos in full-view, and used that line above as her wedding toast.

Woman ready to be 'owned' by her husband during pregnancy gets owned by the internet

I know this seems like a parody of a person, but this woman is real and she didn't pop off the set of "The Handmaid's Tale."

Sophie Pelletier, a self described "girl in love" has a rather problematic social media presence that just started getting traction when she posted an alarming tweet about being excited for her husband's seed. Of course, being excited to become pregnant is not a bad thing. Considering Sophie's website is "Learningtosubm1" (learning to submit) and features a bible verse about respecting your husbands as an authority figure, the way she expressed this excitement is a real red flag.

"To give him my whole body for his descendants?" What about your descendants?
"To become fully his." Sophie, are you being trapped somewhere and held hostage? This is alarming behavior. She's also been known to post things like this:

And yup! This:

Oh, and don't forget this:

Granted, this is the internet and this account could be run by a very much not married and not pregnant man in attempt to troll his feminist friends. When someone asked if she was trolling on her website, though, she responded "nope." So let's just trust her for now.

After all, she did say she's "learning to control" her tongue. Control it in the right direction, Sophie! Speak your mind! You are more than just a vessel for your husband's "seed." You're a real live human woman. Maybe.

40 memes that will only be funny if you're watching 'Big Little Lies.'

To know the HBO drama Big Little Lies, is to love the HBO drama Big Little Lies. In the first season we were blessed with countless shots of Shailene Woodley mysteriously gazing off into the abyss while Reese Witherspoon dished the hottest Monterey gossip. We were blessed with Laura Dern's pitch perfect performance as the neurotic career woman heaven-bent on making sure her daughter has the best life, while Nicole Kidman and Alexander Skaarsgard gave us a sobering picture of the complex realities of domestic violence.

Through it all there's been Zoe Kravitz serving up the ultimate yoga loving California free spirit who routinely hides her true feelings, and Adam Scott as the snarky and refreshingly loyal husband to Witherspoon. This isn't even scratching the surface of all the pathos-ridden and precocious children, the iconic therapist who helps Kidman, and the handsome man at the cafe always serving up artisan muffins.

Needless to say, the first season of Big Little Lies was jam packed with characters to fall in love with and simultaneously scream at, and it all ended with a huge cathartic finale. But now, the gang is back for a second season and the show-runners have cranked up the emotional drama by casting Kidman's mother-in-law as Meryl Streep and giving us a visit from Kravitz's screen mom Crystal Fox!

The internet has been collectively losing its mind over the first two episodes of season 2, and these are just a handful of the best jokes.

Pornhub's response to this DJ's request to stop calling him 'daddy' has us screaming. No, not like that.

In case you are unaware, Diplo is a DJ and Instagram model who has worked with big names such as Justin Bieber, Skrillex and Usher. Most of the songs he is featured on are absolute bops, but today we are not here to talk about his music. We're instead here to unpack an online interaction between Diplo, his fans, and...Pornhub. Yes, by Pornhub we mean the website that specializes in, er, adult content.

Is Diplo Daddy Though?

Just to be clear, Diplo is hot (this pertains to the story, I promise). Diplo is also a father of two. He has two sons, Lockett and Lazer. Naturally, these two facts combined has caused people to refer to Diplo as 'daddy.' But Diplo recently asked fans to please stop calling him this, as it was confusing his kids. Ugh, fine, dad.

A post shared by diplo (@diplo) on

Not everyone was ecstatic about this request.

Is There Anyone Who Can Call Diplo Daddy?

As promised, the best response came from Pornhub.

Whoever is in charge of Pornhub's social media is an icon. And Diplo seems to agree with me on that one, as he responded by giving them a free pass.

Do I feel a collab coming on between these two? We wouldn't be mad.

Garlic peeling hack stuns the internet. Even Chrissy Teigen and AOC's minds are blown.

When I was growing up, my mom cooked with enough garlic to keep vampires miles away from our house. Incidentally, the method also worked on boys..... my mom is a genius. Anyway, I had a lot of free time what with never getting asked out on dates, and I spent a significant chunk of it helping my mom peel garlic cloves. It wasn't an easy task—you have to cut off each end of the tiny clove then slide the little peels off, and if you're not careful, you'll have a cut on your hand full of garlic juice that stings more than having to ask a guy to prom and him saying "no."

Anyway, I'm a bit of a garlic peeling expert (brag), or at least I thought I was. But it turns out, I've been peeling garlic wrong my entire life. Because a woman recently shared her own method for peeling garlic on Twitter and it turns out, everything I ever knew was a lie.

This garlic-master, who goes by @VPestilenZ on Twitter, shared a video of her method for peeling garlic in which she simply stabs each clove with a knife and slides it out of the peel like some kind of GOSH-DARNED MAGICIAN. "As someone who makes a lot of Korean food, this is the best method for getting garlic peeled!" she writes.

Now I haven't tried it yet myself but as far as I can tell, it's quick, easy, and pain-free—all things I never imagined peeling garlic could be.

Clearly I'm not alone in having my garlic-loving mind blown by this video. It has been retweeted over 125 thousand times. According to the replies, a lot of minds have been blown.

This guy confirmed that the hack actually works:

But you must choose your knife correctly:

The hack has people questioning how their ancestors could have let them down.

While many are reflecting my sentiment, that life as we know it will never be the same.

In times like this, we must thank the internet for existing.

If only we could go back in time and do it all again.....

You know your garlic hack has made it when it elicits a reaction like this from internet's favorite food-loving legend Chrissy Teigen.

Guy's post asking if he can charge his girlfriend for snacks backfires after she discovers it.

Money is one of the most stressful factors to navigate in a relationship, and it's consistently cited as a reason for divorce and the breaking up of long-term relationships. Whether you're dealing with different spending philosophies around money, you come from different socio-economic classes, or one partner feels tired of always footing the bill, it's sadly all too easy for money to place an emotional wedge between otherwise loving partners.

Nonetheless, like most relationship issues, it's always healthiest to communicate about money differences head-on, rather than beat around the bush and let resentments or misunderstandings grow.

In a recent post on the subreddit Am I The Asshole, a guy posted about his financial concerns with his girlfriend, and it hugely backfired on multiple levels.

"WIBTA if I tell my girlfriend she needs to bring her own food to my house and pay for the food she has eaten?"

He started off his post by clarifying how much he loves his girlfriend, and that she's been an incredibly generous partner both financially and emotionally.

"I want to start off by saying I love my girlfriend and I’m scared that if I give her this rule or expectation it will make her feel unwelcome at my home. We have been dating for awhile now and she’s always been courteous in asking to eat or use my stuff, she doesn’t eat much so I always gave her the okay. After she had spent a week at my place I told her she doesn’t have to ask me to eat my food on day 3 since she would always ask before she ate, she doesn’t eat much since she’s smaller but I didn’t take into account that a handful of granola, a bowl of yogurt, and a banana every day would stack up after awhile."

Regardless of her generosity, and the fact that she "doesn't eat much," OP went on to write that he's tempted to make a rule that she bring her own food to his apartment, or pay for the food she eats while visiting.

"She left my place after the stay and now every time she comes and stays for a period of time she eats my food. I feel bad for wanting her to start buying her own groceries to keep at my place since she consistently takes me out for food, buys me clothes, contributes to groceries when we cook, and keeps my weed supply full. I can’t comfortably afford to be feeding one and a half me’s so often though since she’s here at minimum 2 days a week."

He admitted she pays for more in the relationship (and also works more and makes more money), but wrote that he can't afford to share granola and bananas the multiple days a week that she visits.

"She has brought up in the past the fact that she feels I don’t take her out enough but we have a quiet understanding that she makes more than me since she works 5-6 days a week and I work 3 (not by my choice). I feel like she contributes a lot monetarily to the relationship and in terms makes her feel like she contributes more emotionally in the relationship because she’s always making sure I’m taken care of and comfortable."

He then ended his post by asking the internet if he should just "suck it up" or if it's reasonable to ask her to pay for the food she eats at his place.

"I don’t know if I should just suck it up because she’s not taking much from me and if I’d be wrong or an asshole to expect someone who gives so much to give me more. WIBTA?"

People online were quick to chime in with their opinions, all of which called him out for being a selfish partner.

SoMuchMoreEagle quoted OP's words back to him to make a point.

"YWBTA.

she consistently takes me out for food, buys me clothes, contributes to groceries when we cook, and keeps my weed supply full.

It sounds like she's giving far more than she's taking. If you want her to buy her own food to keep at your house, then you should pay 50% of the time when you guys go out, buy all your own clothes, and pay for the weed you smoke."

IAmTheNightSoil called OP ungrateful.

"Incredibly ungrateful. Women who will take you out to dinner and buy you new clothes and keep your weed jar full don't come around that often. OP may not find another lady like that. He blew it hard."

avocado__dip thinks OP's girlfriend could do better.

"YTA.

she consistently takes me out for food, buys me clothes, contributes to groceries when we cook, and keeps my weed supply full

"She contributes plenty of money and you're getting pissy over a few granola bars?

we have a quiet understanding that she makes more than me since she works 5-6 days a week and I work 3

"So you're expecting her to pay more just because she works more than you? You sound like you're leeching off of her."

Start paying for your own damn weed then."

smitbrid also called out how uneven the relationship is.

"Aside from the weed, this woman sounds more like his mom than his gf."

Apparently, the girlfriend agreed with the rest of the internet, because she found the post and promptly dumped him.

"Edit: wow. I think making this post was one of the single most worst decisions of my life. My gf uses reddit and by sheer coincidence found this post, thought “haha this reminds me of me and JoyceManner!”, saw my username, made the connection, and broke up with me. All within 20 minutes of making this post! She thought there was underlying issues in our relationship and me being a cheap asshole was the last straw that broke the camel’s back.

Tl;dr: I am the asshole."

It's wedding season, which means a whole summer of the same old party.

A church/synagogue/beach is beautifully decorated with flowers and the bride walks down the aisle to a string quartet plays "Can't Help Falling in Love" by Elvis. Then it's over to the reception where a choreographed dance is supposed to seem spontaneous, and the couple boasts "I married my best friend," which is real insulting to the rest of their friends.

Every so often, something magical happens: you get a SNAFU, and it changes the game. Jimmy Fallon asked the internet fo their best wedding fail stories, and the people delivered.

17 freeloaders share the clever ways they've avoided paying for something. Free diamonds?

Is there anything better than free stuff?

Everyone loves a good deal, but some of us are better at bargain hunting and cheating the system than others. While it's never a good idea to stiff someone or make someone's job harder, if you can commit a victimless crime every now and then, it's always a fun, freeloading time. If you didn't sneak into a movie in middle school or try to snag free refills from the self-serve frozen drinks machine, did you even go to middle school?

I don't think I know a single person who isn't sharing a Netflix or HBO Go password from their old roommate's uncle's brother's dog. So, when a recent Reddit asked, "what's a clever way you have avoided paying for something," the underground network of small-town criminals of the internet were ready to share their best wallet hacks.

1. You just had a baby, you deserve it, "astrozombie29."

When my son was about to be born, we had to stay a while at the hospital and the parking time bill racked up really quickly. Been there for 4 to 5 days so that was about 15-20$ per day ... But you only had to pay a 20$ fine to get out if you lost your ticket.

Lets say I played the "I lost my parking ticket I'm so sorry" game.

2. This is genius, "RindgeTinge17."

If you try to cancel an appointment during the time in which there’s a cancellation fee, ask if you can re-schedule for a later date to avoid the fee. Then once they give you the new appointment date outside of the cancellation fee required period, then ask to cancel said new appointment. Boom roasted.

3. Sneaky, "bricebanner."

Using a different email to get more free subscriptions

4. Nice, "elee0228."

I separate large Amazon orders into individual No-rush orders. Then I order something with 2-day shipping. 90% of the time, Amazon will throw everything into 1 box, so you get everything in the usual time and you get the bonus $1 reward for every No-rush item. You can avoid paying for digital items from Amazon this way.

5. Ah yes the "double feature," "PhillipLlerenas."

When I was a kid and had bigger balls and more time I would buy a ticket for a movie starting at 11 am...and then basically spend the whole day inside the theater watching movie after movie til midnight.

A movie would end...I'd go to the bathroom...stay there til the next showtime and then just walk into the next showing.

This works better during the weekdays (less theater workers to catch you), for non-Rated R movies (less of a chance there'll be a doorman right at the door of the theater) and in sad theaters that don't get a ton of business and are staffed by teenagers who just don't give a fuck.

6. Give it up for libraries, "nonsensepoem."

I got a library card. I then used that card to check out books, read them, and return them before the due date.

7. Brilliant, "LilEgg0."

Sometimes I use those visa gift cards, I use up the money and then use the empty card for any free trial you have to use a credit card for. It lasts until payment is due and then it just cancels the account

8. This is amazing, "ghengiscant."

In college a student engineering society was having a meeting in Hawaii for student leadership (the professional conference it was linked with was there) , my school didn't have a chapter so I made one, got some of my friends to sign up for it to legitimize it and made myself president. They paid for me to go to Hawaii for a week all expenses paid. I had to bluff my way through one meeting with other student leaders from the other university chapters but after that I could do whatever I wanted. Food, transportation and my stay in a very nice resort were all paid for.

9. Damn they should tie them down, "shitz_brickz."

While working at Sunglass Hut, it was fairly common for people to walk in, take their $20 pair of sunglasses off their head and try on a pair of $200 ray bans, put the shitty ones where the ray bans were on the shelf and walk right out. With 500 pairs of glasses in the store that all look alike, unless I watched it happen it would usually go undiscovered for hours.

10. Ha, "ElephantsonTurtle."

Living with your parents has shown to be an effective strategy for me.

11. Being memorable is overrated, "badgersinatrenchcoat."

By being so utterly forgettable that instructor kept giving me 'free first lessons'.

12. Wow, "7Finger."

I sent a letter to a friend by putting his address as the return address and not putting a stamp on it. It got to him just fine.

13. This is a comittment, "SecretConsideration."

During my first year of college I had a chemistry class that the final would only allow a 'scientific' calculator but would not allow a graphing calculator (which I already owed for calculus). Being that I was a college student I didn't really want to shell out $25 for a scientific calculator when I already had a better calculator and would only use it for 2-3 hours during the final. So I ended up going to walmart and realizing that the calculators would work still in the packaging so long as I pushed hard enough through the plastic to hit the buttons. So I ended up buying it to only return it after the final was over.

14. Gotta use that college degree somehow, "looks_good_in_green."

Haven't been a student in years. But alumni offers email addresses. Used that for Amazon Prime student discount.

15. Great job, "loganlogwood."

I used a condom every single time.

16. All hail power outages, "Ihaveapetturnip."

Not me, but a girl I work with. We work in a plaza, and when the power goes out she goes to a fast food joint in our plaza that she knows has issues taking payment when the power goes out. Shes gone multiple times and gets free lunch each time.

17. This is lucky as hell, "Nipplehead321."

Purchased some diamond earrings online for my girlfriend from a major jeweler, box came damaged so I called the store and requested a new box to be sent.

A few days later I received a new box, the next day I received another new box but this one came with a set of earrings.

Wasn't charged for it so I walked my happy ass down to the closest store and returned one of the set of earrings for a full refund with my girlfriend wearing the same ones in the store.

Republicans freak out over AOC calling Trump's concentration camps what they are. Jewish people have her back.

Another day in Trump's America, where the main debate between members of Congress is whether or not the kids concentrated in camps at the border are indeed in concentration camps.

Rep. Liz Cheney, third-ranking Republican in the House and spawn of Dick, is absolutely AGHAST that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez compared the detention camps to migrant children to those made famous by the Nazis during the Holocaust.

Immigrant children and families are being held in detention facilities on the southern border, and are even being transferred to an Oklahoma army base that was used as an internment camp for Japanese Americans during World War II, so yeah, comparisons to the 1940s are not out of nowhere.

"The U.S. is running concentration camps on our southern border, and that is exactly what they are," Ocasio-Cortez said on Instagram. "The fact that concentration camps are now an institutionalized practice in the home of the free is extraordinarily disturbing, and we need to do something about it."

Cheney, a self-proclaimed authority on Jewish history and memory, accused AOC of "demeaning" the memory of Holocaust victims, whom Cheney herself dehumanized by describing them as having been "exterminated" like vermin.

AOC explained "to the shrieking Republicans" that her use of the phrase concentration camps "is not hyperbole. It is the conclusion of expert analysis."

Andrea Pitzer, author of One Long Night: A Global History of Concentration Camps, defined concentration camps to Esquire as "mass detention of civilians without trial," which is precisely what's going on.

AOC also asked Chiz Leney for her take on the semantics.

Jewish people, whom Dick Cheney's daughter claims to speak for, are speaking up to her.

Good job, Liz. Also, APOLOGIZE TO MARY.

Man asks the internet for advice after his wife asks to attend the funeral of her ex-affair lover.

Funerals can be tough situations to navigate when you relationship with the deceased was less than pleasant. On one hand, they are now dead, so who cares if you go to the funeral or not?! On the other hand, it can mean a lot to the grieving family to have more people memorializing their loved one, and honoring the dead is a basic tenet of etiquette.

All this is to say, navigating the funeral of someone with a complicated past can feel like an emotional minefield if they were anyone other than a close friend or beloved family member.

Now, imagine your partner cheated on you with someone, made it up to you by breaking things off and becoming an attentive partner, and THEN was later invited to their ex-lover's funeral?!

This is precisely what happened to a man who recently posted on the Am I The Asshole subreddit, asking the internet whether it was out of line for him to forbid his wife for attending the funeral of the man she cheated on him with.

"AITA for forbidding my wife to go to her affair partner's funeral?"

He opened up the post by opening up about his marriage of fifteen years, and how his wife cheated on him during his deployment.

"Married 15 years and almost didn't make it this far. In our second year of marriage my wife went home when I was deployed and slept with Some Dickhead (who I'll refer to as SD from here out) who she was loose acquaintances with growing up. She hadn't seen him in years but he just happened to show up during my daughter's birthday party because he was the son of one of my mother-in-law's old friends. SD and my wife hooked up later that week after reconnecting."

He went on to explain that he didn't end up leaving her because she quickly came clean and cut off contact with her affair partner.

"The reason I didn't kick my wife's ass to the curb and eventually forgave her is because she told me herself soon after I got home. And she didn't try to justify it with the "oh well you were gone, i felt lonely blah blah blah". No she actually said straight up that she was a fucking dumbass (her words not mine, though I agree) and she felt so sick and disgusting for doing it."

Since then, OP and his wife have gone through counseling and she has gone above and beyond to prove how much OP means to her. That is, until she received a call from her affair partner's mother informing her he passed away.

"She immediately cut off all contact with SD and it took a lot of counseling and healing but here we are today; feels like non-stop since that time that my wife has gone above and beyond proving that I was right to keep her. Well my mother-in-law called yesterday and she heard from SD's mother that SD died in some workplace accident and they're having a funeral service this weekend."

OP shared how his wife revealed she wanted to go to the funeral to say her farewells, which triggered his painful feelings from being cheated on.

"My wife told me this and that she wanted to go and it was like I got kicked right in the dick. I instantly felt nauseous and had fucking horrible flashbacks of when she told me about her affair. All those horrible feelings resurfaced along with the shitty memories of me crying my fucking eyes out and my image of her shattering. The pain felt as fresh as when she dropped that bomb on me."

"I asked her why seeing as she hadn't talked to the guy in over a decade not to mention...you know....she fucked him while we were married. She keeps saying shit like "it's the right thing to do" and "she just wants to pay respects"."

While OP's wife claims attending the funeral is "the right thing to do" the whole situation has made him feel incredibly distraught.

"I can't stop repeating that I'm so hurt with that decision as he's had no part of her life in so long and I'm re-living all those shitty nights I was sure our family would be shattered and I would only see my daughter 50% of the time."

After brief deliberation, he decided to put his foot down and tell her no, which caused a rift between the two of them and inspired him to ask the internet for a second opinion.

"After some back and forth I put my fucking foot down and told her NO, she cannot go. I said it's so disrespectful to me and our marriage and we've been on the silent treatment since then. AITA?"

"EDIT: Seems like people are starting to trip up on me saying "feels like non-stop since that time that my wife has gone above and beyond proving that I was right to keep her." as if I'm saying I own her and she's a piece of property to me. That is not the case, I am simply illustrating that she didn't just say she'll do better, she proved it with her actions and has made me a very happy man in our time together."

Chihuahuamangoes firmly believes OP is reasonable for not wanting her to go to the funeral.

"NTA. You are obviously distressed and she should consider this.

Also, excuse my atheism, this person is dead. His non-conscious decaying body will not care who shows up.'

TDIsideHustle pointed out OP's wife could easily send flowers if she wanted to pay respects.

"NTA- thank you for your service. This would be an absolute no go for me. You’re a good man for putting your family first, and not kicking her to the curb when you first found out. No need for her to open up old wounds. If she wants to pay respect, send some flowers..."

GennyX pointed out the fact that the deceased man was in a relationship and had a daughter during the affair, which would make OP's wife's attendance deeply disrespectful.

"Normally, I’d be against partners not allowing their partner to do something like this. But not this time. You’re NTA for expecting and demanding she make things up to you by starting to show some respect for your marriage and the pain she has caused you."

"I would say to her, ‘if you want to go, I won’t stop you, but don’t come back if you do.’ Did SD have a wife? Kids? Did he cheat on them as well? If so, her presence would also be disrespectful towards his family."

DivaExMachina thinks the wife was being shitty all around.

"Holy shit. The fact that she's prepared to not only risk your marriage but also potentially devastating the wife and child she helped betray by showing her face at the funeral makes her doubly crappy."

"There is something seriously wrong with your wife that she is even considering this, IMO. She seems to have a severe lack of empathy on top of being a very selfish person."

In fact, pretty much everyone on Reddit unanimously agreed that OP was being reasonable for wanting his wife to stay home from the funeral. Which works out in his favor, since that's already what he requested. Hopefully, she'll come around to understanding just how hurtful it is in the first place.

A good ghost story can keep you up all night. While there are the fun, clearly made up fireside camp stories everyone shares as children, sometimes you hear a truly unexplainable tale of the supernatural.

Of course, ghosts are not real. RIGHT? That sound you heard was probably just a neighbor's cat and that shadow you saw was most likely a tree...

However, when Twitter user, Charlote Cymer asked, "I realize this is random, but does anyone have any genuine ghost stores?" the internet was ready to get *spooky*.
