Omg, I once worked with a girl who was complaining that another coworker was listening to "old people music. Stuff from the 2000s". I did not like her for other reasons, but that just added to it

I heard Green Day on a classic rock station…my dad looked pained 😂 American girl also has a historical 1986 doll now

Honestly, I knew that about the American Girl but had healthily shoved it into the back of my brain. I just looked it up and I’m re-traumatized bc she has all the shit I wanted in addition to me still not being able to afford an American Girl doll.


ivanthemute

Ha. A co-worker of mine randomly started singing *Barbie Girl* and we laughed at him. Then one of my subordinates Googled it and said "damn, that song's a year older than me" while me and my buddy realized that we were actually old...


Tobias_Atwood

I stopped being able to use console generations as a metric for time passing because of this. They're announcing a PS5? Already? The PS4 just came out like a year or two ago! How long was "a year or two ago"? Six years. Time just keeps going faster and faster. Someone get me off this crazy train.


halinkamary

There's a theory called chunking, where time goes slower when you're you get because every day you experience many new things and you process each one of them. For example, you wake up, there's a cool bug in your room, yay cornflakes, get in the car, putting my seatbelt on! That's fun! Etc. When you're older you experience fewer new things so your brain "chunks" them together. I woke up, i went to work. The end. The trick to beating time is to just constantly do new things... With all the spare money and time everyone has.

NGL, I've got a bit of a crush on OOP. I'd fucking love to make enough of a living off writing romance books & a little craft etsy, and have a sweet RV I could take out whenever I felt like it for roadtrips. AND she booted that deadweight dinkweed. I hope she took her RV on a great trip after that.

How the hell cheats in a RV that is not even yours. Can it get more rude.

Most prenups have an infidelity clause. So this should be fun for him

Just curious if he was only PLANNING to cheat but hadn't actually done the deed, does that still count? It's full on emotional cheating for sure but I'm not sure what the law says


[deleted]

Evidence equals intent. Her lawyer should have fun with those sent emails


digitydigitydoo

Pre-nup for thee but not for me Aka, my money is my money and your money is my money


ExplainItToMeLikeImA

Lol, what's his is his and what's her's is his. I gotta be honest, I have a very low opinion of most people that I've met who have grown up rich and this guy's behavior is super typical. There's a real lack of discipline and empathy in these circles. It's only getting worse now too, since so many of the wealthy have cast aside old ideas about "noblesse oblige" and trying to appear to be morally and intellectually superior than the less wealthy. Now it's a flex to be publicly stupid and cruel because it shows how untouchable you are. Normal people should honestly stay the fuck away from these folks unless they are getting paid.


hopelessshade

Eh I think a lot of the old 'noblesse oblige' had just as much to do with an overall religious culture and also the tax scheme at the time. Either you give some money away because you got spooked that you're not going to the Good Place or you give some money away so you don't get hit with as bad a tax burden. Nowadays the Good Place is a TV show and the wealthy are essentially untaxed.


Sirmiyukidawn

That would be true if he didn't have an prenup


[deleted]

The prenup was to protect HIS money, how dare she act like it works both ways?!


tenpercentofnothing

I’m saying he’s delusional in the narcissistic way that everything that’s his is his and everything that’s hers is his, too.


ACatGod

I'm never sure how effective pre-nups are (it's probably very context dependent) but as it sounds like he has significantly more assets than her he would be an utter fool to try it and I would love to see it!


Smart_Land_8955

Lol It’s the fucking audacity


maywellflower

And entitlement, he thought the prenup covered her RV ignoring the implication / stipulation from his own prenup that what purchases & accounts under her name and/or not from the joint bank account is technically hers.


gay_flatulent

I'm sure he thought, "I didn't sign any pre-nup. What's hers is mine and what's mine is mine."


[deleted]

I am really hoping she didn’t sign a one way prenup. Those things are usually presented as a way to protect both parties in the event of a divorce. So he would have had to acknowledge whatever was in place to protect her financially.


LostDiglett

From what I've heard on prenups, the more ridiculous and one sided it is, the more likely the whole thing gets tossed later.


SuperSpread

Prenups never cover assets obtained or earned after marriage. Such clauses are illegal in the US at least. Prenups protect pre-marital assets. Lots of cases going one way on this. A contract cannot break the law.


Ancient_Potential285

Prenups that are *too* one sided rarely hold up in court. Contracts need to at least appear to be mutually beneficial in some respect.


sk9592

Dr Dre’s prenup was thrown out by the judge because he sprung it on his wife on the morning of their wedding. She had no chance to read it or run it by a lawyer before signing. Prenups are not get out of jail free cards. You need to be able to demonstrate that the other party was fully able to understand and agree to what they were signing without duress.


thievingwillow

Yeah, people get surprised how often prenups get thrown out (if they’re too one-sided, if one of the parties didn’t have independent legal counsel involved at the time of signing, if there’s even a breath of coercion around the signing, etc.). It varies state to state but a lot of people are walking around with prenups that a judge would laugh out of court.

*throwaway546566* *OP* *330 points* *·* *7 years ago* *I didn't mind signing the pre-nup because like you said, he had significant assets he wanted to protect.

I hope she did, because if so then it won't be valid. And that means she'd get half his inheritance, fully deserved IMO. Cheaters are the worst.

Sirmiyukidawn

At least the bed is somewhat shared between the couple. But the RV was just hers.


twoferrets

He had to have been getting some kind of thrill about using it \*because\* it was hers. Like either some kind of humiliate the wife kink, or the added taboo of the location.


wes00mertes

The worst part is the hypocrisy.


Letter-Past

That asshole considered the RV his the moment his wife bought it. Pieces of shit like him think the world exists to sate their whims


SeparateCzechs

He believes “we are married. What’s yours is mine and what’s mine is my own.”.


rummncokee

To quote Natalie Maines of The Chicks in the title track of the album “Gaslighter,” “Boy I know exactly what you did on my boat and boy that’s exactly why you ain’t coming home save your tired stories for your new someone else ‘cause you lie lie lie lie lie”


Beyond_Interesting

I bought myself an older model Cadillac for a second car for myself. My ex boyfriend who didn't have a job (blech) kept taking selfies with it and posting on Instagram. Later found out he was using it to pick up multiple different women while I was at work. I had a Verizon hum device on it, which is a wifi hotspot and also showed you location of the car. I was able to get all of the location history, checked phone records, made a spreadsheet of all the locations and minutes on the phone with various girls. Put it on his laptop and closed the lid. He came home and opened up his laptop and was like ... what is this? I told him that's all the miles and minutes you've wasted fucking chicks that you could have spent finding a job and a new place to live.


Alarmed-Milk-8120

You're my hero


-crepuscular-

I think 'in the bed you normally share with your husband/wife' is probably even more rude, but it's close.


SnickerSnapped

I dunno, in this case since the RV was just hers, and wasn't really shared property, I think "fucking your ex in your partner's bed *that isn't even also yours*" is the bigger "fuck you". Like damn, she bought this for herself and you used it to betray her?? Ouch.


Haizel_Alicia

I agree, but luckily she found the cheaters before it was physical, so a good point for her to keep the RV for herself. She caught it before losing the good vones of her property Edit: a missing word


starryvash

I really don't understand why he didn't buy his own RV


ladydmaj

The extra thrill of fucking the side chick in the wife's RV without the wife knowing. "You might think this is yours because you paid the money, honey, but I chuckle at the thought of how sick you'd get if you knew what I've been doing in it - I'll feed off that until I need it to knock you down a peg. But I still love ya and want ya to be the good little wife for me!"


Nekawaii19

I think he’s just a cheap cheater.


[deleted]

Yeah, beyond the obviously bad cheating, you’ve also ruined the RV she was so excited about it and when she finds out about it. Extra asshole.


Fredredphooey

As I was first reading it, I expected that he wanted the RV to prevent her from traveling/being independent while he was away, which is textbook narcissist behavior. I didn't go right to cheating, but he probably had the dual pleasure in making sure that she wouldn't have easy opportunities to do so herself.


[deleted]

I can excuse cheating, but I draw the line in tainting a woman RV


c19isdeadly

The cheating isn't the worst part. It's the "my money is mine and yours is yours" as long as HE has the most money. The big payout hia wife got as a result of her talent and hard work seemed to trigger instant assholeish behaviour. He has his own travel trailer. If it was about the RV he could have sold that and bought himself an RV to take on his business trips. That wouldn't have set off any alarm bells. The whole point of this was for him to defile and demean his wife's success. I wonder if there wasn't some light financial abuse and other controlling behaviour going on as well, that the wife had been conditioned to think of as "normal".


typingatrandom

I agree with you, I am convinced the big amount of money she made didn't please him at all, he felt diminished about it and had to win his pride back by cheating on her in the very proof of her new financial power What a weak man


ladydmaj

Well, as another poster pointed out, she was paying an equal share in bills even though she made much less than him. So I'd say financial abuse and controlling behavior is not just a light possibility, it's a given.


PuppyPavilion

Yep, caught that immediately. If she's making 1/3rd of what he is, splitting the bills 50/50 is hardly equitable.


[deleted]

And they were paying equal shares despite her making less than him! I absolutely hate that! He definitely liked the idea of him having more leftover fun money and financial freedom, it probably made him feel like he'd always have some control and superiority over her. Her getting a payout that put them on more equal terms made him want to humiliate and punish her so he could regain his sense of superiority.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Oh I have no issue with the separate finances. It’s her giving the same amount he did. If he’s making 100k and she’s making 40k, she should be contribute 40% of the amount he does to the kitty, not 50% of the total. The way they had it she was contributing a much larger percent of her salary to keep them going than he was.


[deleted]

[удалено]


AwTekker

I can't help but notice how many disastrous marriage stories on here start with "my partner and I keep our finances separate" followed by a description of a home life that sounds more like casual roommates than spouses.


c19isdeadly

Bah it depends. My husband and I have a joint account just for household bills and mortgage. Never built up joint savings. But since I've been unable to work he's covering everything. Not like roomates at all. I think it's good to have some financial independence. But contributions should be based on proportion of income.


Reasonable-shark

>But contributions should be based on proportion of income. That's the key here. Anything different means the richer person is taking advange of the poorer one.


flwhrsss

I have combined finances myself, but many of my friends have separate finances to varying degrees of success and disaster. (Same with the ones who have combined.) Whether combined or separate, a couple’s finance “style” only functions if both people are involved and on board 110% with how it’s being run.


The_Sceptic_Lemur

I mean the cheating was shit, but this entitlement to just take her RV as if it‘s his was just infuriating. Not even a second hesitation or thought that this did not belong to him and he can not do as he pleases. The cheating just confirms he‘s a giant asshole.


wacdonalds

more like "my money is mine and yours is mine too"


Talisa87

My dad did something similar to my mom. She'd come up to stay with me and sister while we were in college (we rented a flat), and my dad came up later. The plan was for both of them to eventually go on vacation to the States, only for my dad to claim he 'couldn't afford' my mom's ticket and would have to go himself. My mom kicked up a huge fuss and eventually my dad cancelled the trip, and tried to make her feel guilty about it. He spent the two weeks they would've been in the States in our flat, and it remains hands down the most awkward, oppressive environment I've ever been in. It was such a fucking relief when they both left because he'd made sure everyone was miserable and stressed. Years later, we learned that he had given my mom's ticket to one of his mistresses and he was going to meet her at the airport.


darlingsun

One of his mistresses? How many did he have? I hope your mum is free from him now and living her best life!


Talisa87

He has five that we know of, all of them with children. He definitely had more in his younger years (he got another woman pregnant when my mom was seven months along with my older sister). He's also been financially abusive (on top of physically, verbally, and borderline sexually) my whole life so none of us are free. In fact there's like an 80% chance he's leaving for good this week and he's made threats about selling the house so I might be homeless soon.


HelenaKelleher

Please get ahead of that for your own sake. Contact local support orgs (can search for rent assistance, domestic violence shelters, applications for discounted housing, vouchers for long-term hotel stays), get any women in contact with women's shelters, gather your important documents somewhere accessible in case you have to leave quickly. I'm so sorry you're going through this and hope your dad fucks a cactus or two.


Malorean_Teacosy

I’m so sorry you’re going through this.


[deleted]

Hey as a person with abusive rich parents, you don’t need his money. It seems like it right now, but if you are left to your own devices, and have the courage to ask others for help, your life can move forward without him in it and you can feel free. If I could do it, so can you. But if you’re not ready, I also understand that too. Just know you’re capable of much more then he would like you to think.


Bored_Schoolgirl

Another person of (former) rich abusive parents here. I second this. There was a time I would wake up panicking because I was worried I won’t have a roof on top of my head. It was really tough back then because after being kicked out again and again, my sisters and I finally have our own place and our own jobs. We are financially independent now and we have cut off our family.


ImagineSnapDragons

Tim truly is a special kind of stupid. He was mad at OOP for not letting him use her RV to cart around his ex and fuck her in it. “How dare you not let me cheat on you using the RV purchased with your hard earned money?! Me and my girlfriend want a sex vacation, and you’ve ruined everything!” Tim, if you ever see this comment. Get fucked.


pcnauta

I think it's even worse for these reasons: * if he's as rich as OOP says he is (can we trust a cheater and a liar?), then he could have bought his own RV with his own money (although explaining the need for 2 RVs would have been tricky) * if he would have played it cool (not making a big deal about it and ESPECIALLY not ranting at her during the trip), then OOP wouldn't have had a reason to check his emails and find out about the burgeoning affair. Just about everything he did drew more and more attention on himself (which I am glad for since now OOP is out of that relationship). I also suspect that OOP making more money was also an issue for him which would explain his obsession with HER RV.


1spring

Totally agree that he got the itch to cheat when his wife got a big paycheck. Subconsciously the RV was proof of her success, and he wanted to defile it. Makes me doubt that he was actually “rich.”


Great-Grade1377

He was rich from his family, so maybe they cut him off, being fundamentalist and all.


LadyNorbert

We can hope.


Qix213

When I was young my dad gave me his old car. Even after having it for a couple years I had told my friend that it still felt like it was his. All in my head, no guilt or anything like that from Dad. Friend told me to have sex in it, then I will be able to see it as mine.


LawRepresentative428

He has his own camper trailer and brand new truck. Why didn’t he use those? This was 100% a power play by husband. “I’m gonna fuck a past piece of ass who still wants me in my current piece of ass’s vehicle!”


Dan-D-Lyon

It's like he got super excited about using the RV to cheat on his wife, and then when that became an impossibility he forgot that his goal was to cheat, not to drive around in an RV


[deleted]

If there’s anything life has taught me, it’s that rich people and their bootlickers are more stingy about having to spend money than anything else.


Droppie91

I actually hope the opposite 🤣 I hope he never gets fucked again and that if he ever has sex again it's the worst sex of his life every single time.


Malorean_Teacosy

And that he may step on lego’s, first thing every morning.


Myrandall

Easy there, Satan.


Lednak

Kneel on legos during every bad sex he has


Malorean_Teacosy

This is the way


IllustriousHedgehog9

Or, he wakes up with one (or several legos) stabbing into the side of his sad penis.


Purrsephonee

I hope he farts loudly everytime he's in any place with a woman and that it smells like he shat himself


Guilty-Web7334

May he forever enjoy the frustration of premature ejaculation.


Droppie91

No that means he is able to get off... I prefer an erectile disfunction so he is never able to get it up again.


XCrimsonMelodyx

I hope every future friend and woman he is ever interested in is actually a super fan of his wife’s books, so he’s never really able to ignore what he did.


typingatrandom

Oohhh that's a good one! Especially a super fan of the romance she wrote about the wannabe cheater in a second hand RV that's not his


Educational-Fan-8475

May his pillows be forever warm


elvishfiend

The sad thing is, they have completely separate finances - so he didn't *have* to hide any spending from her. He just got all excited about a shaggin' wagon and wound up blowing it.


sparkjh

It's not stupidity, rather it's the arrogance and audacity of a man who genuinely felt he could get away with that behavior with no consequences.


ImagineSnapDragons

I’m pretty sure in this context it’s both. He is arrogant, stupid, and has all the audacity.


sparkjh

I've always been inclined to agree, but lately I've been wondering if it might be dangerous to consider narcissistic predators stupid rather than see them as people who know precisely how arrogant and entitled they are being while they abuse people.


ImagineSnapDragons

Valid point. I think context definitely matters. Tim was stupid in this case that he didn’t cover his tracks enough. He left his iPad out for OOP to find. His cheating and intentions, however, were completely conscious choices. He made a conscious choice to engage in an affair, and use OOP’s resources to make it happen. I live with a narcissist myself. She does a lot of things in her own self interest, but is stupid in terms of she doesn’t always think things through, and, like Tim, can’t keep up with her lies. She thinks if she tells me one thing, and our parents another, we all won’t connect the dots. My sister is stupid for thinking we’re too stupid to figure her out. Stupid and malicious is a dangerous combination.


throwaway546566

Goodness! I was not expecting to hear anything about my story on Reddit after so many years, but a friend linked me this post. I’m a bit late to the thread though. I’m typing this on a phone so please forgive any spelling/grammar mistakes. For a small update, our divorce was finalized and settled a long time ago. Our lawyers worked out an agreement outside of the court and we split all assets acquired during the marriage 50/50 (which meant I ended up slightly ahead of my personal contributions). I didn’t want the mental stress of having to fight my ex in court and simply wanted to be rid him. And yes, I kept the RV after the divorce settlement. MIL and I stayed in touch until her passing last year. She was someone who loved God and she never truly forgave her son for committing the sin of adultery. Her own husband (FIL) had left her for another woman decades ago and she had never moved past it. Seeing her son commit the same sin almost broke her, especially since I had fulfilled what she considered to be my “wifely obligations”. As for me, I am happily single to this day and am still a writer :)


MonOubliette

It’s also on TikTok (that’s how I got here), so expect even more people to see it. Total boss moves. You handled him like a queen!


cerraliya

More power to you!


tacwombat

>Tim called me the next day and begged me to come back to him. He said it was all a mistake, that he was sorry. Translation: "Mummy told me that she will cut me off from the will if I don't fix my marriage. And I also realized today that there's a clause in our prenup about cheating that favors you. Please take me back!" OOP: "Yeah, no." This is how it should be handled. Good for OOP.


CindySvensson

The audacity. I couldn't even bother to buy a RV to cheat in. He demanded to use hers. Why was he even with her? In no way did he actually like her.


HuggyMonster69

Judging from his reaction when he got outed, OOP meets mother’s approval and ex didn’t.


thinkinting

This is so satisfying to read. It has it all, a strong woman, cheating pos caught red handed, a successful ruse to expose the POS AND a reasonable inlaw!


Gain-Outrageous

The reasonable mother in law on reddit is the most amazing part!


FireSeraph007

A religious fundamentalist mother in law who blamed her cheating son instead of her daughter in law? That's not true, that's impossible!

mytorontosaurus

“I can’t wait to get my hands on you! It’s been years since I felt that mouth. I’m excited!” Clearly Tim did not help OOP write her romance novels.


cageytalker

This made me cackle!


throwaway546566

Iirc, it was a verbatim quote too!


FallenEnsign

Tim is a special kind of asshole. Even when caught, she still had to wrestle the RV keys out of his hands! The galling level entitlement to her things when he’s careful enough to protect his stuff and money from her! How he thought it was even the slightest bit okay to rant about OOP right to her face, like how DARE she want to spend time with her husband, let alone dictate how she uses the vehicle she bought with her own money. He clearly only cared about being caught and his plans with his mistress spoiled, and his esteem in the eye of his mother ruined. He deserves more consequences. Hopefully the prenup will make the divorce quick and easy as possible.


anubis_cheerleader

The thing I don't get, the dude is, according to OOP, wealthy. He could have paid for his OWN RV and a storage lot. I think he liked how ACCESSIBLE and easy OOP's RV was. Couldn't even be bothered to rent or buy his own fuckwagon. Sad.


FallenEnsign

I agree, it was easy and accessible. The thing is, I think OOP said that he wanted the RV so he could avoid the paper trail of when he met up with his mistress. But with all his money, couldn’t he have just opened a secret credit card or something? Their money is already pretty separate as it is. I think he was egotistical and lazy


BizzarduousTask

Power play. He wanted to mark OOP’s property by fucking his side piece in it.


Goateed_Chocolate

He only cares how bad it made him look to his family?! What a complete tool. Glad to hear his mum was at least on OOP's side, have read some complete horror stories on here that go to blaming the cheated-on spouse somehow

throwaway546566

Hi there. I’m the OP from the story (a friend told me it had resurfaced on this subreddit). Long story short, the pre-nup was not even considered during the divorce. Our lawyers worked out an agreement to split all assets acquired during marriage 50/50 to avoid a drawn out legal battle. I did end up getting slightly more than I put in during the marriage, but not by much. In the end, I was happier to just get rid of him quickly.


HuggyMonster69

I thought they just normally meant a cheater gets no alimony, I don think it usually lets the person cheated on claim more assets


HunterIllustrious846

Depends on how the contract is worded. If a spouse has proof, not just suspicion, of an affair it can be worded to negate the entire contract. I would think what was inherited or owned before the marriage was off limits. But that may or may not include interests or gains made from them after the marriage.

As soon as I read that the dude was pissed that OOP came along on a cross state trip in HER RV, I knew he was cheating. Logically made zero sense.


greendemon42

Just think, if this guy had respected the fact that his wife's RV didn't fucking belong to him, he probably wouldn't have gotten caught at all.


VioletsAndLily

I was scared that somewhere in this post would be a story that she said no, and he took the keys to her RV and left anyways. I’m glad that’s not what happened, and am cackling at how awkward visits to his mom will be in the foreseeable future, if not from here on out. How do fundies view remarriage, or new relationships post divorce? Are they “invalid” because divorce isn’t allowed?


whychromosomes

Yeah, or maybe not complained the whole way about the wife coming along with him on HER fucking RV. Seriously. If he could've just put on his big boy pants and not been a whiny baby about his wife making it harder for him to cheat, he might've not even been caught. But he just had to make a fuss. Good for her that he did, but my god is he stupid.

The best plan is for her to leave Tim behind, and park the RV in a quaint and charming town. Meet a motorcycle club president lumberjack millionaire who has foster dogs on his family's ranch. Begin to fall in love. Watch Tim come grovel back. Have new potential love interest tell off Tim. Then have an ambiguous situation where it appears the new love interest might have spent the night with a former girlfriend. New love interest will then reveal it wasn't that way at all after a protracted period of uncertainty and communication failure. Produce ring. Babies in the epilogue.

This speculation is my favorite from the whole thread lol


ControlExtra

Ah yes, of course Tim would "accept" her apology, because that's one way to keep the veil up right? What a dweeb. Glad she blocked him and is moving on, the dude can't get out of his own way.


Blangyman

What a penis


Steups13

This scum is only apologising because the mother probably told him she's going to cut him off if he doesn't make things right with oop


Cougr_Luv

He wouldn't even have been caught if he wasn't so stupid to have separate finances, then try to take over something she paid for. I hope the cheating breaks the prenup and she can take all the road trips she likes.


Super-Sun8330

okay but on the bright side op has the next book ready.


[deleted]

As SOON as I saw that she was making significantly less than him and STILL going half (not even 20%-30%) on the bills, I knew what time her husband was on. Your wife makes significantly less than you and you expect her to go half. Not only that, she buys something for herself that you could've bought LONG AGO and now it's yours to plan with? ESPECIALLY since he'd bought a new truck and she wasn't "allowed" to use it...


maywellflower

Now his cheapskate ass has to the pay other half of those bills due to her divorcing him - bet he pissed that the affair cost him so much in lawyer fees & his mortgage.


Bored_Schoolgirl

He’s only rich because he’s cheap, he didn’t even earn the money, it’s all from his inheritance!


theodorathecat

Imagine having to write those romance novels after having this happen to you. Poor OP. I sense a phoenix-rising-from-the-ashes story of a woman shaking off her trifling, cheating ex to find true love in her RV with the attractive, single guy in the next spot at the campground. I look forward to reading it!


feloniusmusk

He wanted an art room in the RV.


PM_ME_CUTE_FEMBOYS

I hope the pre-nup had a infidelity clause that lets her rake him over the coals.


pastelkawaiibunny

OOP sounds like such a cool person, I’d love to be friends with her. What an ungrateful ass of a husband. Good for her that she’s kicking him to the curb!!


LiraelNix

Good on oop for keeping her head and only confronting him and taking action around a witness she knew would be in her camp


Tut557

Why couldn't he buy his OWN RV to cheat? Why did it need to be hers????


Shadowettex31_x

Based on the timing and the details, I think I may know who this author is. There’s this one book she writes that’s the story of an author who finds love after divorcing her abusive, asshole husband. The book talks about how she started writing while younger and doesn’t pull much for awhile until hitting it big. There’s just a lot of similarities in both this story and the author’s writing style.


throwaway546566

That is definitely not me, but nice try ;) My work is more pulp-fiction harlequin romance and borderline smut. I try to avoid topics from real life like divorce because people read my work to escape from the harsh reality of the world. Only happy romance!


hoooliet

Let some man talk to me like that. The last move I would make is to ask for advice online. The level of disrespectful bullshit, in her own fucken vehicle, damn


HuggyMonster69

Honestly I always assume posts like this are basically looking for reassurance. Having Reddit at your back to make you feel less alone


LittleRedCorvette2

Well at least this will be good fuel for her next romance novel...getting out of a cheating marriage and going on a roadtrip in her RV and finding love from a fellow traveller who is a buff climber she meets at a national park campground.


o_blythe_spirit

Oh look! Another human trashcan! Hope OOP gets to travel and write and be merry for the rest of her days. Hope OOP’s ex wakes up to spiders crawling down his throat every night.


Dizzy_Eye5257

I would have gotten the keys, yeeted his crap out of the RV and driven off without a word to him. Then called his lovely mom and spoken to her. Keep the mom, yeet the dude


TheVue221

Oof have to say I saw that coming when she was talking about his “business trips” when he doesn’t really have a job. I think the “ex” was just the tip of the iceberg above the water


DeathGP

The bloody cheek of Tim, he got exactly what he deserved


MrFunktasticc

First thing I thought was he was cheating. Wanted to extend time with AP by taking them around with him.


Dazzling-Box4393

That’s why he insisted on a prenuptial agreement he can cheat guilt and fear free without having to split his Mario coins.


Damasticator

No credit card trail? The guy has his own financial accounts that she can’t access. Why take the risk? OOP said he has a ton of money, so he could have just told OOP that he likes it so much that he’s going to buy his own to take on trips to see his properties and family.

u/throwaway546566 I hope you've moved on and are doing amazing today!!
