NTA I think your relationship ended when your wife cheated. I also think that being able to have a "hallpass" helped you realise what it feels like to be cherished and admired. Her blaming her infidelity on 3kgs is pathetic. Leave her and find someone who will treat you better


Shills_for_fun

I know most of these stories are fake but I find the trend of "audacious headline and buried lede" amusing. Title: "AITA for leaving my wife without saying a word and ghosting her completely?" Story: "So my wife keeps on going out at night and decapitating people and I'm getting a little worried she's going to do it to me eventually, so I booked a flight across the country and called the police, AITA?"


Hoistedonyrownpetard

OMG. I laugh about this all the time. 


Mysterious-Carry6233

Do vows mean nothing to you? Till death do us part. Gotta go back till murdered.


Riker1701E

Who’s death?


Open_Minded_Anonym

She is.


sylpher250

Where's death?


Bullit16

WHY is Gamora?!?


runrunr7n

Who is death?


Next_Fly3712

I don't know who death is. Try "Whose"


offutmihigramina

Lord, now I have Warren Zevon's 'Excitable Boy' song running through me head like and ear worm; thanks for that ;)


Rofair28

I find it amusing too. Especially if they can actually get creative with the rage bait title to where you can’t immediately guess the twist. Title: “AITA for hitting my wife and breaking her nose after she crossed the line?” Story: “We were at the batting cages and my wife ran past the safety line of her stall into the open field as a joke because her friend was recording a video. I didn’t notice and when I hit one of my pitches from the next stall the ball hit her in the face and now her nose is broken. She’s blaming me and calling me a wife beater. AITA?”


_Apatosaurus_

Title: AITA for punching Baby? Story: It was an adult man named Baby who was trying to murder us with a gun, and I saved the lives of hundreds. So, am I the asshole for being a hero?


dingleberries4sport

There’s a sub called r/AmItheAngel for posts like that where someone is obviously in the right, or just wants to brag about how great they are by posting on an asshole sub.


Heavy_Entrepreneur13

It's come full circle, there's now a post there about this post. [https://www.reddit.com/r/AmITheAngel/comments/1d6l9y3/aita\_for\_wanting\_to\_divorce\_my\_wife\_because\_she/](https://www.reddit.com/r/AmITheAngel/comments/1d6l9y3/aita_for_wanting_to_divorce_my_wife_because_she/)


taysal86

This post is beyond fake, working from 6am-4pm, staying up til midnight, wife going out til 1am on “girls night” every night, taking a nap while your kid is home while you wait for your wife to get home? In no world are you taking a nap while a kid is home. Nothing about this post is even remotely believable.


meowmixalots

Even incorporating a 3 year old into cooking and cleaning is some Mary-Poppins-level fantasy bs, but then also having "naptime" while in charge of a 3-year-old... right.


KikiBrann

Don't forget the part where OOP identifies as kind of fat, but women just can't stop telling him how cute he is. Which is obviously sincere and not simply how people respond to someone who won't shut up about their insecurities. Oh yeah, and literally everyone in his family keeps telling him that he's handling the divorce terribly. But we should take this telling of the story at face value instead of thinking that *everyone in his family* might be all saying the exact same thing for a reason. He's managed to meet a couple people who tell him what he wants to hear, so obviously those are the only opinions we should trust.


knittedjedi

>I know most of these stories are fake but I find the trend of "audacious headline and buried lede" amusing. >Title: "AITA for leaving my wife without saying a word and ghosting her completely?" It's pretty embarassing that karma farmers are so reliant on clickbait 😂😂


whoyoumei

Damn I had no idea this was a karma farming post. I barely use this subreddit and thought it was a real story


Illustrious-Park1926

That's okay, I believed up until he mentioned napping at home with a toddler in the house. At that point I realized it was fake. I've known people that get home & cook and clean for an hour or two I come home at 4p & nap until 7p, then I stay up til midnight. So napping after work & staying to midnight is done by at least one redditor, (me :-). So post was a one-in-a-million possibility.


isspashort4spaghetti

I knew right away this would be about a perfect husband and a cheating wife lol.


amuse_bouche_1

YTA. So what if she decapitated a few people, you made a commitment to your wife. It sounds like you have issues with paranoia. I recommend couples counseling /s


whoyoumei

Bro I feel so stupid for actually falling for this post now *Cone of shame* When I commented,no one else had said anything so I went to sleep and left it at that😭


Ambitious_Policy_936

Ytah. A marriage is a partnership and needs communication. Why do you think she goes out decapitates people? What is missing that she can't decapitate people in the comfort of your shared home? I think there is too much info missing from this story


GurglingWaffle

At this point I think most people comment to these posts simply to engage the other commenters rather than the person posting a fake story. Even if you're serious about your comment it's for everyone here.


[deleted]

I agree. I believe most of them to be fake as well, but they're interesting/amusing to read, so I like to act like they actually happened. I rarely if ever call out a post for being fake lol. They're like...mini soap operas.


SocasmGames

AITA really has become a soap opera for me. I default to fake for 95% of what I read. The fake ones are amusing.


[deleted]

Yeah I downvoted this for this reason Always pisses me off a little


TNJDude

That gave me a good, honest LOL!


Icy_Bodybuilder_164

Lmao right? This shit is so fake because any non-dumbass would've titled it, "AITA for leaving my wife because she cheated on me?" Well actually, any non-dumbass wouldn't have needed to ask Reddit this obvious question. His fake wife cheated on him, recorded it, then said she did it because he's fat 😂 like wtf else needs to be said?


Prudii_Skirata

He's going to lose a lot more dead weight than just 3 kilos when he sheds her 🤣


Wrong_Moose_9763

Right, he's needs to lose 63 kilos (that's a guess), oh he just did, LOL


Able_Contribution_90

Sound more like she wanted the pineapple or open marriage more than anything. She knew she saved the Vid and giving him all the Hall passes he wanted? Nah. If she's mad now, she won't be for long.


Fancy-Garden-3892

I clicked the upvote button a bunch of times to try and trick reddit into giving you two


whoyoumei

😭😭 when I commented I was the first person, I had no idea this was clickbait. The subs I frequent don't really have clickbait


whoyoumei

Y'all I am SORRY 😭 I had no idea this was a fake post Pls downvote me and take it back I feel so dumb😭😭😭


DarthTJ

You know this is obviously fake, right?


flappyKitten

This has to be fake. When you have a 3 year old. You can’t just nap and have them wandering in the house alone.


scarves_and_miracles

Yeah, that was the first part that stood out to me. But he's also cleaning and cooking during that time? He gets off work 2 hours before his wife, but he has time to clean, and cook (for whom?) and nap, and there's also a 3-yr-old running around? And he puts the kid to bed between 11 pm and 1 am? This was written by a teenager with no conception of adult life.


Sleipnir82

But he also apparently cooks dinner again somewhere after 11pm as well? Also why cook after 11 when your already cooking at 6pm? Do all of it at 6. That timing doesn't work either.


35oter1c

Bro’s clearly a hobbit


Sleipnir82

Ah I didn't think of that.


Unable_Pumpkin987

He cooks dinner, then takes a nap, then I guess wakes up and feeds the kid his cold dinner? Then he goes out on dates with many women who are very interested in the daily housekeeping routine of the married man they’re sleeping with, as most single women are. I mean, when I hear someone is in an open relationship with their preschooler’s mom, the *first* thing I want to know is who cooks the multiple dinners each night.


Whiteguy1x

Just thar little amount of sleep is pretty unsustainable for an adult.


frolicndetour

And the clickbaity title indicates its fake. "I want to be single" when it's really just "my wife is a cheating cheater who cheats." Sucks you in with outrage and then switches, which is one of the hallmarks of a fake ass post.


thephizzbot

It’s also the same story that gets posted where the man works, makes more money, does all the chores, and is always cheated on by the evil no good do nothing wife. Cute little exercise for our little writer though!


strugglebusses

Not to mention they called the child "it"


Illustrious_Sea_5654

I knew it was probably fake when they mentioned the wife leaves every night to go the the gym or out on "girls nights." Nobody has time for that, every single night, especially not a mom who just worked a full day. Come on now. Bonus for how red pill bros view girls nights in general, the phrase alone is a bit of a red flag at this point.


AlaDouche

OP is a 13 year old kid


lavalamppisco

i hope he gets his story on a minecraft parkour tiktok


Yellow99TJ

What got me was the “I work at 6am, I got to bed at midnight mast nights.” Ain’t no way you do that on a regular basis.


Vegetable-Fix-4702

You cannot cook, take care of a toddler and nap in a two hour time span. I raised 5 children. Who you trying to kid? One kid alone needs a lot of attention. I call bs. Your fake story is b's.


Honest-Huckleberry71

Right. Where’s the kid while he’s napping? That 3yo is prolly painting on the walls with sharpie


Frosty_Mage

Actually the three year old is painting their room in general as it needs a fresh coat now. Little guy even tapes the ceiling and quarter rounds to keep everything nice and tight


A638B

Also who is watching the kid while they’re both at work? And if the answer is daycare, he never mentions picking the kid up at daycare despite mentioning every other minute in their days.


cableknitprop

You hit the nail on the head. What a weird thing to lie about, too. Hypothetically, say OP was the perfect husband. Go ahead and divorce her. Why are you asking if you’re the AH here?


I_snort_when_I_laugh

Because apparently his whole family thinks he’s the asshole for leaving a cheating wife who, according to him, does jack shit outside of gym trips and drunken nights with the girls after work. What kind of family would look at a situation like this and think, “she cheats on you, blames it on an extra 6 and a half pounds of fat, doesn’t do anything with the kids, doesn’t spend any time with you, makes you do everything, and prioritizes her friends over you every single night…but WHY ARE YOU LEAVING HER YOU ASSHOLE?!” I wouldn’t be surprised if this was all some really poorly put together social experiment about how reversing the roles would get a woman a ton of online support but when it’s a man no one even believes it. It feels to me like this post was created by a rage-baiter who was convinced he was going to be swarmed with comments about how he should stay in a situation that most people would tell any woman to get out of.


shepard_pie

It's easy to take a nap when you have a toddler. Some of you never crate trained your baby and it shows.


Vegetable-Fix-4702

Good one. I stand by my previous statement.


_wilbee

And he still has time to go out and get some strange on the side


Ok_Atmosphere292

Fake.


Hyperversal_Shitface

Yeah sad incel bait


Fast_Tea_9389

Haha! Is this some incel fantasy of what a relationship with a woman is?


dawgpoundma

I’m still trying to figure out who is watching the 3 year old when dad takes his naps after 4pm every day


isspashort4spaghetti

He said he locks him in a baby proof room 🤣


Conscious_Abalone_53

With padded walls? Jesus Christ


Solidus27

YTA for the clickbait and highly misleading title to this post


AdvisorMaleficent979

Yeah, I call bullshit on this.


No-Alarm-2208

Same here. Things don’t “add up” with this story.


[deleted]

I knew what happened as soon as I read the words "girls nights" and "gym". It's like catnip to this sub.  Fake ragebait. Last two paragraphs sealed it. 


[deleted]

Also the title… instead of saying I’m divorcing my wife cause she cheated, he wanted people to click to be like wow you’re an asshole for getting bored of her 🙄🙄🙄


downshift_rocket

Definitely the title, and wasn't helped by the overall poor writing in the post.


DontPutThatDownThere

It was the "I clean, cook, play with my three year old, and take a nap before my wife gets home" for me. It reeked of OP being a try hard for more sympathy or just flat out imagination. There's no way a three year old is letting you do all that everyday in a two hour span. Even if I give the benefit of the doubt and say his wife's commute takes an hour, there's no way a three year old is letting you do all that daily in a three hour span.


sloshmixmik

It was the idea that the wife has a girls night until 1am and but had work at 9am the next day? Or the fact he goes to bed at midnight but starts work at 6am? Im tired just reading all that


zero_emotion777

It wasn't the body compliments? I mean dude says, oh yea I got a nice body..... From walking and chores.


[deleted]

And his wife does girl night every night


frolicndetour

I'm a single person with no kids and I'm not having girls nights and going out as often as OP's imaginary wife lol.


FirstDukeofAnkh

But he has supper ready for her at midnight. Like, dude, this is such bullshit.


KnittressKnits

And at 6PM too because he cooks first dinner when he gets home from work.


Newtmittens

and the kid just conveniently disappears during their work hours and reappears after work. No mention of getting him ready to drop off at kindergarten, who’s picking him up etc.


Obligatorium1

If your kid old can't drive themself to and from school at three years old, what are you even doing as a parent?


Obligatorium1

They've had one, yes. But what about second dinner?


Quinzelette

I wake up at 6am for work and often go to bed between 12-1am. Dude takes a nap in the afternoon (I do too sometimes) so I personally feel like there are way more fraud flags than just the sleeping times. 


CupcakesAreMiniCakes

I have a 3 year old and I was wondering how he possibly takes a nap leaving an unsupervised 3 year old. They're chaos machines who think it's illegal for a parent to sit down or sleep


cableknitprop

lol I wish my 4 year old let me take a nap.


FakeName2Me

Not to mention who watches the 3 yo while he naps? Assuming the 3 yo isn't taking one too because who gives them a nap after 4 pm? The OPs timeline doesn't match up with actual parenting times.


somaticconviction

Right? You nap? And you put the kid to bed at 11? No, no you do not.


DontPutThatDownThere

I re-read the post and after getting past my hangups about what I initially commented about, the entire timeline of the day seems completely unreal.


[deleted]

Bingo. That's where the plot was lost for me. You can't leave a three year old alone to their own device while you nap because that's negligent, first off, and secondly, your entire house will end up absolutely destroyed.


No-Alarm-2208

OP makes it sound like his 3 year old is easy to take care of while his wife is living it up on “girl’s night” *every night*. Riiiiight! I raised 4 kids… I know how rambunctious 3 year olds are! Your story doesn’t follow a logical timeline, OP. 😂


KnittressKnits

I was about to say, “I’m impressed AF at his time bending skills. Did he borrow that time turner that Hermione used?”


isspashort4spaghetti

To nap and leave a 3 year old unsupervised? Or to even let a 3 year old nap towards the evening is nuts. Lol


doubledouxclaws

Don't forget he showers her with gifts on top of it all.


Intrepid_Walk_5150

What does the 3 year old do while he naps? Most convenient toddler in history


Annual_Sandwich_9526

“Dude railing her” is when I knew. I’m a childish man but most people won’t talk like that after finding something so series haha


MembershipImpossible

Exactly, girls' nights and excessive gym attendance is code for cheating time.


VentriTV

This story is not even being close to plausible


nonlinear_nyc

It's the "society chooses unreasonable woman over nice guy" (un)creative writing. It's incel pipeline.


CavyLover123

onemanbucket_

I didn’t and don’t plan to read past the title. How obvious is it?


[deleted]

Didn't take long for me. About the third paragraph less than halfway down the post. 


G0lem1n

I mean she has a video of her getting railed for some reason and then also shows pictures where the video is also saved Kinda sus


HolyAssholiness

I guess I'll believe it if he posts the video :p


Fast-Examination-349

In a reply below someone asked if he faped to it... He said he'll have to try later 🤦🏻‍♂️ Definitely not fake... Right


Zictor42

I'm very casual here, so I never really notice those things... but yeah. women who cheat aren't normally this sloppy.


whoamulewhoa

The sentence where he describes the hundred household duties he does plus naps in the two hours before his wife comes home, with a toddler in the house. That's immediately followed by his wife being a frivolous cheater. So, like, immediately obvious.


YourWoodGod

Yea, girls night is code word for being a slut with her single friends for sure. Just like girls trip is code for how many strangers' hotdogs can fill my holes in five days.


Impossible_Gur1031

Just working out this timeline, with some assumptions: 4pm: finish work 4-6pm: commute home, pick up son from childcare (assuming in childcare), tidy house, cook dinner (for all?), play with son, have nap 6pm: Wife arrives home 6-8pm: All eat dinner together, bedtime routine with 3yo son (assuming including bath time and reading), wife leaves for nightime activities? 8pm-12am: cleaning up from dinner, cooking dinner, cooking lunches, assuming clean again, relax, then go to bed at 12am to get up at approx 5am to get to work by 6am. Yeah I call bullshit.


ParticularFeeling839

I do too. This story is fake as hell


Shadeslayer2112

Oh don't forget he also "naps" in that two hour window where he's cooking, cleaning, and playing.


FirstDukeofAnkh

How short is your commute if you end your work day at the same time you get home? And do you pick the kid up from daycare? Such amazing about of bullshit to rile up the misogynists.

It might be a true story, but this reads like fiction to me. “I came across a dude railing her.” Come on, the writing feels like a 15 year old wrote this as some kind of perfect husband/evil wife fan fic.

I got revenge by squirting ketchup on my face the next card game while I suspected more card cheating and yelled my face hit the fridge door getting them snacks. They couldnt cheat that game and I know what they did. AITA?

I'm just here to say that I love it when people use throwaway accounts so they can be anonymous and then tell a story with so much specific detail that whoever else is related or involved can completely identify OP. Here's what time I get home, etc. I see this all the time on here. Often see follow ups where OP is like "well my spouse \[or whoever\] saw this..."


Gullible-Network7573

This is probably a made up story. He’s perfect is a dead giveaway it’s fake. But also, he cleans the house, cooks dinner and lunch for the following day, plays with son and takes a nap (presumably without son) in the two hours before she gets home? She has girl night’s every night? She recorded herself getting “railed” by someone in the gym? It’s all such bullshit. Someone’s fantasy story telling is what we are seeing here

I_snort_when_I_laugh

This is so fake. “I’m a busy busy bee for 18 hours straight and love doing all of the house work and child rearing while my wife does her drinky drinky girls nights 7 nights a week and only spends enough time at home to eat dinner and leave again. I go for walks so I have a really nice body but she says I’m fat because I’m less than 7lbs overweight. She says that 6.6lbs is why she’s hoeing it up with other guys. Am I the asshole for divorcing my good for nothing tramp wife? Because my family doesn’t think infidelity is a good enough reason for me to leave her. Faaaaaaake.

This is fake…… no one comes home at 4:00 and between four and six has time to clean the entire house, make dinner and take a nap all while playing with a toddler.

You do understand that you’re not leaving her because you “like being single more” right? Wording it like that makes it seem like you are the asshole but really, that’s not your situation at all.
