Caught my husband cheating. So I threw him out. Instead of changing the locks I changed the codes to the alarm system and then called the company and changed the secret security word so he couldn't get in and the alarm kept going off. 😂
Seriously he’s a jerk. She may not have been the best wife but to do that to the kids is so awful. Kids don’t need involved in adult issues. I have a feeling he embellished a lot of details as well. Plus thinking she will always pine for him?! He’s delusional
The Count of Monte Cristo can take some lessons from the last person in the art of revenge . 🙂 . But forever , the title of pettiest of them all belongs to Charlotte . 😁
@@MollyHuffle Maybe I read the wrong translation. I found it a bit of a slog, but I will agree -- it was not lacking in incident, derring-do, and buckling of swashes. Nothing like playing the long game!
The start of the video had me saying Charlotte wins, even before you said it yourself. I was with the last guy right up till he involved the kids. I don't care how petty you are, leave your kids out of the fights between you and your (ex)spouse. They're your kids, not weapons to be used to hurt your ex. It is an epic tale of petty revenge, but he didn't need to involve his kids, and ruin their relationship with their mother just because he's hurting.
I agree with you to a point. But the only other option was the possibility of the kids being raised by someone with the morals of an alley cat. He had to play the system the way the system demands to be played and it sucks.
I completely agree. I understand he didn't want his wife to raise them, but he needs to get therapy for his children because of what he did. Extremely messy divorces can seriously hurt their ability to form relationships in the future. He may have destroyed their chances at marriage and his chances of having grandchildren.
if not him then the lady could turn them on against him. in divorce its almost always first come first get situation. even though she was guilty court could have made him liable and gave kids to mom. he played his pawns well.
As someone whose sole existence was abused and manipulated by a parent for financial benefit over the other parent, and who was manipulated into hating that other parent on false accusations (I was young, didn't really know any better until I grew older), I was with the last guy 'til like, the half of the story, but by the end had naught but hatred for him. I've had enough personal experience dealing with a sociopath to recognize one, and man, all the red flags are there.
Yeah, as much as his ex sucks, he's worse for manipulating his kids for his benefit with zero regard for their well-being. Anyone who thinks his actions are justified is either a moron or a psychopath.
Agree absolutely. Honestly the marriage was probably hell for that woman given his behavior. She should have left him, not cheated, but I wonder how much she was being manipulated for many, many years.
And made his own daughter cry on purpose😢 it's not like he showed her a sad movie. No, he went out of his way to hurt his daughter with the goal of getting his way?😢😢😢Scared his child (maybe?) for life. Now he is the villain.
3:53 Did a quick Internet search and not even sure what I found was real (because it’s just as, if not more, unbelievable), and this video is semi fake but the truth (if what I found was real) is just as petty with a good dose of Karen. He didn’t cut the power because he was refused entry, he did it so he could sleep.😄 P.S I love his perfect timing.😄
well, i was all for it till you said that. so he ruined 100s or 1000s of peoples time cause he was selfish? those people probably PAID for those tickets. thats pretty despicable EDIT: ok got the backstory, thank you malediction wolf and im on the guys side now!!
@@hollyshaw-elliemae there's more to it than just that--the festival actually asked him if they could use his electric hookup, he said no, they did it anyway. That's how he was able to turn it off from outside, it was all plugged in to HIS house, against his wishes. They were literally stealing his electricity and he would have been stuck with the multi-thousand dollar bill had he not switched it off. So there's that as well. Sucks for the festival goers, yes, but it is legitimately the festival's fault. All they had to do was set up with their own power and generators instead of stealing his electricity, and it would have been fine. He wouldn't have been ABLE to switch it off, even if he wanted to. But they decided to be shady about it and plug into his electric and hope he didn't notice until the bill came.
@@maledictionwolf OOOOH ok well, that turns it the WHOLE thing around. see, had there been A LITTLE BACKSTORY... this channel really fails sometimes. know im totally on the other side. and that man is an ICONNNNN... with all the commentary he does, he could have maybe thrown that in , ya know?
@Malediction Wolf that's shady AF of the festival planners! IF THIS WERE THE US I would have reported them to the police. But knowing this wasn't filmed IN the US, police could have been paid off to let it slide.
I was with the last guy until the kids were brought into it. My mother did something very similar (reason for divorce wasn't infidelity though) and I literally wrote a letter to her this morning saying how I don't want contact with her furthermore because of all the manipulation and triangulation against my father. This man might not realize it, but his petty actions may have gone too far and could cost him his relationship with his children as they become adults and understand how they were used as pieces in a brutal game.
I totally agree. I was invested until the kids came into the picture. That was so unnecessary. Kids need to be aware of what is going on and assured it has nothing to do with them. To use them as pawns is inexcusable. I'm not in his head but I hope he realizes, in therapy, what he did was wrong. Then he's dating on Tinder? Ick. Take some time for yourself and your children, not some random woman.
@@WeAllLiveInTheTwilightZone He also says that he uses the promise of potentially getting back together with the Mum as a way to use her for sex, which is disgusting. You don't lie and manipulate people for sex, ever.
@@Fragmented_Mask I think this guy is holding back something. He comes across as this wholesome victim and then he does a complete 180 to get back at her. That required some planning.
The petty revenge on the last one was great, but I do feel sorry for the kids for being pulled into their argument. They have no say in their parents' romantic lives, and always end up blaming themselves in the end. She at least didn't sound like a bad mother and I never liked when adults manipulate kids into preferring one over the other. Best wishes for the guy though, must have been horrible to go through.
So true. And we never heard her side of it, he says he thought they were happy. Oh yeah, what was your wife thinking? Not to excuse her cheating at all but he went proper nuclear on her. Then it seemed he got drunk on the power, dangling the prospect of getting back to together to get sex with her. That turned it for me. I was on his side before that.
Yeah thar went from petty revenge to downright nasty. No need to treat the kids like that. He sounds like he's being a bastard to the new gfs as well as his ex
@@morganhowie6927 Nah, screw her. If she wasn't happy she should have been a responsible adult and divorce the husband instead of being a little cheating slut then maybe the divorce would go by much smoother for her. She deserved it. But yes, I agree, dragging the kids into this is far but I'm still mostly on his side.
The last one lost me when he started manipulating the kids. Finding out your parent cheated is its own trauma. This was downright harmful to them and they never should have been involved in this. He's very proud of it, which tells me how little he truly cares how his manipulation and the pain he caused them has and will continue to impact their lives from here on out.
That rubbed me the wrong way too... I could NEVER do that to my kid. He should've stopped at the papers... The way he went on for months, manipulated everything and everyone... I get that he's hurt but damn, I wouldn't forgive my parent if I found out this is what they did to get back at my other parent. Two wrongs don't make a right but again damn dude... This isn't going to work out it the future, especially because this is on social media and he can't ever deny it.
Honestly, I'm not so sure that that last story was real. Like, it sounded too much like some divorced guy's power fantasy. And would he really risk his wife or his kids finding the Reddit post, putting two and two together and figuring out that he essentially told the kids on purpose? Yeah, I call bullshit.
Idk it was shady how they found out but in the end it's not his fault mom cheated. So did he cause the trauma by letting them find out the truth or did mom's actions cause the trauma? As a child of a cheating parent & divorced parents I'm glad that my parents kept it real with me & led me to make better relationship choices than my parents. Dad & mom should have told the truth from the jump, not the weird manipulation, but mom is ultimately at fault.
I'm seriously stunned by how many people seem to find it completely okay to use kids as weapons in a divorce. Doing that is just vile. And I speak from experience, as my biodad (who was the cheater in my story) did exactly that. I didn't have much of relationship with him before, had none after I found out.
Yep just left a comment about this before seeing yours, very much agree, this kind of stuff can have massive impact on kids and their future relationships with other people.... not ok and sorry you had to go through that
Agreeing with all of you! Adult problems are adult problems. We're supposed to protect children.... not weaponize them..... I'm ALL for petty... I'm a petty bitch lol... but I would never include my stepdaughter in a fight/disagreement with my husband.
Yup. Destroying a relationship between mother and daughter at age 14 is an awful thing to do to your daughter! Keep the kids out of it. Unless the relationship is toxic or abusive, you support your relationship with their other parent, because that’s the right thing for the KIDS.
@@karenneill9109 agreed. Ultimately the best thing for the kids would be to try to forgive their mother and fix their relationship, sadly thats not what happened
My ex husband went overseas and cheated. I left my wedding dress, all wedding keepsakes, our bedding. Knowing he would be getting his items shipped to him, I wanted to be petty and make him deal with the leftover wedding stuff in front of his mistress. Ahhhh, petty 😁 you feel so good
@@Dachdogoriginal Not really, all it did was hurt the people working the drive thru and everyone behind the woman. She wouldn't have to go thru the drive thru again, in fact the store probably gave her her order for free to make up for him taking it.
I was with that last guy until the end. Something started feeling off when it looked like he went to therapy to get help but took time off just to screw over his wife into paying child support. Then he talked about manipulating his daughter, and all of my empathy vanished. You don't use your kids like that. One day, she's going to find out what actually happened, and it'll ruin her relationship with her father, too. He could have sat down and spoken to her - hell, he could have even told mom she needed to be there to explain. It would have been just as much of an F U, but at least it would have been a warranted one. And then "I can get sex whenever I want." Holy crap, dude. I hope his ex finds out exactly how much he's screwing with her head and takes him back to court. I'm not saying what she did was right, but there's a line between petty revenge and egomaniac, and he crossed it.
Sounds like he wasn't being honest about the whole thing even if he was why would he sink to her level. He got everything he wanted he won why dose he need to be a dick about it.
@@Autheil But he got everything FROM going to her level. That's why he's happy. He won, the method don't matter, she wronged him. He hurt her worse, but she drew first blood and made sure the war would be over the moment it began. It seems very clear he doesn't care about being a good person, he just cares about keeping what he wants and not losing anything else. Not condoning him... but I don't think he cares about being the bigger person.
@@Autheil it makes me wonder if he was emotionally abusive to her, and she didn’t feel safe to break up with him and be honest, so she didn’t bother and just found another dude. She should still break up before jumping to cheating, but it does make you wonder…
The young woman plastering up her campaign posters everywhere so the ex and his gf have to see them is genius!! He even has her watching him while he's peeing at the urinal!! Lol!!
The last one 💀 The daughter will act the same when she founds out the reason behind their divorce-- so I don't think it was necessary to manipulate the scene. My respect for his pettiness dropped a level when he decided to play innocent bystander to his daughter. And keeping the ex-wife as an convenient FWB is a ticking time-bomb strapped to his belt. Never know when or how they might blow up. Just cut her out.
I was all the way w the dad in the last one till he basically told the kids what mom did. Me and my siblings are product of separation and divorce, I truly believe in never ever involving the children
why? for what? so the children can blindly bend over backwards for a cheater? nah. screw her. she lost the right to parenting when she decided to be such a disgusting person. she was also not only cheating, but HUMILIATING him to another person. but when its their kids, its suddenly too far. nah bro, she got a taste of her own medicine. don't be an awful person if you don't want your children to know about you being an awful person. -someone with separated parents.
I wouldn't have acted like this dude, but in my opinion keeping it a secret from children is not fair. They at least should have known whose fault this is They shouldn't have brought children into this, but they needed to specify at least who is in the wrong,so children could process it normally (not "your mother cheated", but maybe " your mom did a mistake,so we can't be together, but we still love you and will still be your family" If there's no closure or information about what's happening How are they supposed to heal?
My boy was playing the loooooooooooooong game. JBC was just a pawn. His wife didn't stand a chance. Custody... spousal support... that was smart as hell!
Wow, I do feel bad for the last guy because cheating is never okay, but dragging your kids into this and then still sleeping with your ex-wife just to spite her sounds a bit over the top?? It’s red flags for me
Exactly, when this is stuff he thinks he was so in the right that he is legit bragging about it, makes you wonder how incredibly awful the stuff he is leaving out is
And the fact she sleeps over very often is so damaging to the children, can you imagine the hope they have that their parents might actually get back together everytime she sleeps over? He's doing all of this psycho shit for his sexual pleasure while destroying his kids and his ex's lives and relationships.
So, you don't think the wife hurt the family? He's was being manipulative, but he only unearthed the truth to the kids, he didn't tell them anything that wasn't true. BTW, women tend to do this stuff pretty often to men (even in cases with no infidelity), make sure you keep that same energy.
Cheating is horrible but the last dude gives me the creeps. "Oh honey, you weren't supposed to find this..." Yikes. And it's not just about the kids. I almost missed that detail but he makes the ex-wife come over and sleep with him on the premise of maybe getting back together which he won't actually do. Yeah no manipulating someone so they have sex with you is disgusting behavior as well.
Exactly. Makes you wonder what else he left out (that he might not be so proud of) when these actions are things he thinks are worthy of bragging about.
i was on his side and all for it, then i read that sentance and lost all respected hed gotten to that point. like, thats just vile. if hes got tinderellas, go to them. fucking sexual predator behavior right there
You can see why she cheated on him. He’s manipulating and even manipulated the kids just so they would stay with him. This post seemed like his inflated version of what happened. I wonder what really happened.
Never thought about it that way, he prob didn't just turn into that terrible of a human over a cheating wife. He was sure to lead up with how he thought everything was great etc, but he prob left out a lot of things that were prob bad in their relationship just to not give any reason for his wife to cheat and bad mouth him. The manipulating the kids thing really made me think badly of that dude. What a terrible thing to do.
The parental alienation on the last one is tough to swallow, honestly that person sounds like they have serious personality issues to hurt their kids in the wake of their revenge. Their ex deserved to have an unfavourable divorce agreement, but all that manipulation was not necessary (e.g. having *ahem* whenever he wants because she hopes they can reunite). It’s entertaining for us as we’re strangers, but I hope they can work on themselves as that is an excessive response to cheating. The unfavourable dissolution of their marriage should be enough consequence IMHO. It’s especially damaging to manipulate his kids with the articles, etc. They have to grow up and have relationships, too.
Exactly. His disregard for his kids makes him an unreliable narrator....plus he is bragging about manipulating his kids, if he thinks that is not only justified but something to be proud of, what has he not told us about because he isn't proud of it. 🤔 His kids once older and realize are likely to resent him
Totally agree. IMHO no one is mentally ok to keep a revenge quest for so long. As he tells, it seems his life is still guided by the and he can't let it go. I'm sorry for this family.
You can call that petty but it actually has some serious psychopath vibes to it as well when he goes so far as to use the kids as targeted weapons by manipulating their feelings.
And honestly, I'm not entirely sure he's telling the truth. He kept his composure during their conversation somehow. He planned it out JUST right so he'd get benefit from working part time. After that bit about manipulating his daughter, his whole story smells fishy to me.
Dude at then end ..... If you are reading this ..... You're a bloody legend. Well done mate. It will take a while to trust someone again, but you will. And for everybody else ..... NEVER trust a cheater
I totally support everything the last guy did - EXCEPT threatening to damage the mental health of a teenager who is already in a vulnerable place, all in order to weaponize a child. Protect the kids, y'all.
The children, especially a teenager is going to want to know why their parents split. They have a right to know because it will effect their choices. Counselling will be needed in this case.
@@Dove96 yeah, except you're supposed to do it with the help of a therapist and not as a threat to weaponize against the other parent. It should be done at the right time, under the right circumstances.
TRUST ME, when I say I DON'T agree with cheating AT ALL (having been the cheated on far too many times) HOWEVER... I was with the last guy right up until he started "faking" MH, getting signed off work, and turning the kids on the mum, whilst up holding himself as the "better person/victim". Frankly that takes it beyond petty and starts boarding on emotional manipulation which says a LOT more about the time of person he is and less about what a shitty person his wife was. There is such a thing as taking it too far.
@@VictoriaMarch13 It's uber easy (way, way too easy) to get a depression diagnosis these days. It's pretty much an Oprah meme "you get diagnosed with depression, and you do, and you get diagnosed with depression too!"
I loved the last petty case! So calculated. Vengeance is so sweet when emotions are put away and you thing of reasonable ways to get back on someone who has hurt you so much… respect! 🫡
Ok but "dangeling that carrot of maybe getting back together" can seriously hurt the kids. Sneaky plan but I am worried for the childrens emotional wellness in this situation.
Not to mention him using it to get her (the ex-wife) to sleep with him is beyond gross in all ways on its own. The children being used was wrong, but wait until they realize he used their mom like that too?
It’s an old story and possibly fake. I feel like I remember there being a part of the story where he keeps having sex with her just cause he can, even though he doesn’t want to get back together. I could be mixing it up with another story, though.
@@aennaenn7468 Imagine your parents are divorced and your life will never be the same. But there is the slight chance that it might. A divorce can be traumatic for a child, no matter the age. In this perticular case I would say especially for the daughter, who were very close to her mother. Now to pretend that you might get back together someday might lead to: 1. The false hope for the children that everything will be OK and back to normal again. 2. The wife not being able to pursue love again. Which can damage her even more and in correlation to that: the kids. My partner has separated parents and it has really screwed him up. Emotionally but also relationship wise. So I am really worried how this will turn out for the kids in the future and how they will look on relationships and marriage.
@@kawaiimonsta8160 she should have thought about her family before single handedly destroying it. Sure setting up those books was a bit manipulative but he didn’t lie and he still comforted them and told them their mother loves them she just made a mistake. I’ve seen people use their kids a lot worse and honestly the plan glided like butter. She’s still able to see her kids but she got the stupid prized she played for. Goood riddance
I was on the side of OP for the last story until he basically started a supervillain arc with manipulating his kids. That’s awful. His actions aren’t healthy at all towards the end. Both parents are the buttholes in this situation. And OP seriously needs more counseling.
Supervillain origin stories often come from tragedies inflicted on them by others. If the guy is honest about having depression and PTSD... my guess is he is relishing the feeling of having control and manipulating her for once. Being able to inflict the same secret pain on her she did on him. Ideally he'll eventually realize he's no better than her... but some people just break and they don't get fixed. Some people just stop trusting or caring about people because of how one person treated them. It's also possible he just uses people from now on for what he wants and that's his sad life
@@Fordo007 That’s what really concerns me. This reads too much like a story from the scary story Reddit thread where an almost cheating wife is paralyzed on her way to see the person she almost physically cheated with. And the husband, knowing she’ll beg him to stay with her because she’s disabled (yay ableism at its best), is making her do extremely degrading things like crawling upstairs to give him water. Don’t know if he was already like this but he is now a person I would not recommend being friends with. He’s very scary now.
@@usernameisunavailable8270 That story really plays on my fear of being unloved due to being disabled or sick. I know it’s not rational and I’m mostly over it, but dang does that story just remind me I still have some trauma related to that.
For that last one, honestly, good luck to those kids. That father is a manipulator just as bad, if not worse than the cheating mother. He hurt his children mentally to manipulate them into choosing to live with him. They're screwed no matter what.
That last one was totally one sided. The wife should not have cheated but that guy painted himself as a saint. To top it off he manipulated his children into hating their Mom by involving them in adult/parental situations and problems. That will bite the Dad in the butt on day. That Dad is a Manipulator and I would bet there is more to this story that he is telling.
Exactly. Especially when you consider that these are things he is legit bragging about...makes you wonder what he left out because he wasn't so proud of
@@SoManyRandomRamblings He probably called his god complex and hypertrad demands for his wife those "insecurities and flaws" they were mocking him about. And who knows if he cared enough to make an effort in bed. You can be girthy af but if you make it all about you it's a shitty experience every time.
I mean, no doubt there are two sides to this story but dang, I know I don’t make the best decisions when I’m distraught and emotionally drained. People have breaking points, ya know? Don’t know the guy but the pettiness and turning the kids against her was so nasty but probably just the only way he could possibly cope. Can you imagine finding out your wife was cheating and then your kids leaving you and suddenly no more family at all, when you weren’t the one who cheated? I def know there are two sides but we get too wrapped up in women vs guys and how we emphasize more with the women because we understand them better. Heartbreak is heartbreak. Sad all around
Mmmh, the last one. That's not petty. I know malignant narcissists, and *all* of my alarm bells are going off. I would very much like to hear how the wife in the last story got to the emotional place she did, from her perspective, because the more we heard of the 'victim' husband the skeezier and more manipulative of an individual he came to be. And his peppering in of finally doing regular father/husband things for glossed over justification of the too little, too late absentee partner on his end. How long was he checked out? Was he ever anything but an a-hole? He also committed the very worst act of emotionally manipulating his children as weapons in something they should never be exposed to in such a way just to ensure that he humiliated his wife and took her children. Doesn't sound like a good father to me. Not to mention the prolonged extraction of sex under false pretense to what? Punish, demean? Destroy? Why? So, he's very good at lying and manipulation. That's targeted malevolence against the entire family. Sounds like a malignant narcissist who systematically took her down. Did any of this actually happen as he wanted presented, at all? I question all of the events as relayed by this 'victim'. Sounds like a story orchestrated about yet another time he 'won'. I don't believe him. I'm related malignant narcissists like him. It's exactly what they would do and then crow about.
My thoughts exactly. It sounds too perfectly orchestrated, and he's definitely bragging in the end about how he "won". And how he dragged his kids into it? Disgusting.
wow.. with ALL the stories from men in divorces wifes lying about him abusing the kids, taking the kids and not allowing him to see them.... wives accusing the men of sexually interfering with the kids - then when it is found out they lied nothing happens to them... just wow.. one guy gets a little back compared to that ... and you get all self righteous... impressive..... i was thinking... well good for him... my mother's parent got divorced and my grandma movied with the kids hundreds of miles away so he found it very difficult to see them... my mother hated him (grandma had poisoned her mind) and he could only see his son at the police station.... year later when i was born my mother met and had a teary reunion with her father and found that he hadn't been the ogre my grand mother painted him as ... and he had been paying maintenance the whole time and my grandmother apparently had been gambling it away.... my parent got divorced ... my father pretended and got away with not paying maintenance as he was working at a job for cash and he was supposedly only getting a bit more than unemployment.... yes and my father had a VERY big gambling problem... also an alcoholic .... not sure re the cheating but i wouldn't be surprised.... he was a ladies man...sigh
Given the deal he made with the lawyer and all that fluff about being the perfect husband when he found out...sounds like a man who had this all planned out already and was just doing everything possible to LOOK like a loving husband. Notes, taking time off work to take care of things, fixing things at home-all things he can have a papertrail for when brought up in court. Why would we believe his story of being a sweet husband when he's already bragging about how he manipulated his ex wife, children, therapist, employer, and judge. I'm not one to call someone a narcissist online...but this story is seeping in it. The manipulation, the meticulousness of gathering info against her and in favor of himself, the idea that everyone loves him-even those he's using, the way he has to completely destroy someone who wronged him...yeahhhh.
Regardless of his personality, he didn't make her cheat. Nobody makes their partner cheat. You could be the worst person in the world, but nobody has the right to cheat on you. If your partner wants to be with someone else, they can leave. You can't use someone else's poor behaviour to justify your own (especially in a situation with children - she must have realised how her kids would react...). He could be a saint or a complete a-hole, but you go about these things the right way - and she was in the wrong (& helped him get one over on her) the second she cheated. And, if she knew he was awful and that's what drove her away, then she should've known that he would take her to the cleaners when he caught her - making her actions really dumb.
In addition, what he describes is not a cheater wife. He describes a woman attempting to flee an abusive marriage but is lost and doesn’t know how to do it. He describes himself as a monster and an abuser as though it’s a badge of honor. I hope the teachers or someone catches on. I’ve seen this before. I knew one woman whose husband caused her to commit suicide by being like this. The children never forgave him. If this guy’s ex wife commits suicide, he only has himself to blame. I hope instead she gets a good attorney and exposes him for the abusive monster that he is.
I thought exactly the same, That poor woman must have been so emotionally drained in that marriage as only someone who has dated a sociopath can understand. I feel for the kids, too. Specially the young boy that will learn how to be exaclty like his father or to be afraid of him.
She very well could have just been a cheater. I don't want to give her an excuse for her poor behavior. That being said you're right the dudes psycho and those kids need help along with the ex she's frankly in a great deal of danger.
The last story: The husband really put his ego over his kids well being. It's not ok to cheat but being cheated on doesn't give you the right to manipulate your whole family and everyone around you. He plotted every step and acted like nothing was wrong for weeks. He is a crystal clear psychopath. He is willing to destroy the bond between the kids and the mother just bc his ego got hurt. And the bragging afterwards...Disgusting. Repairing his ego by getting revenge was the only thing he had in mind. No matter his kids feelings. Disturbing.
Yeah. I was all for him, until he emotionally manipulated his kids. Even "playing" the wife up to thst point I could see, since sometimes surviving and not being taken advantage of are kinda ugly. But continuing to play her, stringing her along, the manipulation of the kids, and the getting sex from her whenever he wants because she's still desperate for that "second chance".... holy hell. I hope she can recover, grow, learn. I hope their kids can somehow come out healthy, probably after much of their OWN therapy. All of that, kinda makes me wonder what HER side of it all would be. I'm not saying what she did is excusable - absolutely not! Sometimes, though, reasons can help something be FORGIVABLE. 😢😢😢
Yeah, that story really left me feeling gross. I understand his pain and some of what he did I agree with...but the manipulation, specifically of his kids...he lost me there.
Ok the cheating wife...I was so onboard with all of it until the kids. Using the kids isn't in the same realm of petty. That's too close to emotional abuse for me. I'm a firm believer that kids shouldn't necessarily be sheltered from the truth. It happens in their life too. I feel for their kids. Something similar happened with a close friend of mine and it was handled poorly. Needles to say it's been over 10 years the kids involved are still holding on the animosity that has become hate. Deep rooted hate of their father. Sad part is he has turned his life around in these 10 years. He's actually become a really great loving man that still tries to salvage the relationship with his kids.
I think if he had told the kids that th enun is aweful it woild be different. All he did was tell then the truth but was still nice about her saying it had been a mistake. I don't think that's a issue.
@@nehamaw he hid it and left bread crumbs for the kids to find so they would ask and he could say he wasn’t the one that “told them” He was only saying nice things about their mum so that he would get what he wanted. He played the kids so they would want to stay with him. He would have just set down and explained why the divorce was happening but then that wouldn’t be petty enough by the sounds of it for him.
The festival thing in the longer video he says the festival didn't had a permit and it was disturbing the environment, it's a protected area or something and they couldn't make noise after a especific time. He went to talk to them and got mistreated so he waited for that time and shut everything down.
Loved the last story until we found out how he used his daughter like that. That was absolutely disgusting to use your kid like that knowing they would be heartbroken. Everything else was great though
For that last one, I have to wonder if he actually wanted custody of the kids, or if it was all part of the revenge scheme. Honestly, based on the info we have, I don't think he's any better than the cheating wife. He didn't have to turn the kids against their mom. That was cruel. She's a cheater and he's a manipulator. They're as bad as each other, and I hate it when kids get dragged along.
The last story... that guy had such a master plan... it makes you wonder. If he was that manipulative with his kids, what else was that relationship like? I don't condone cheating but I also don't condone using your kids like pawns to win a game of crazy chess.
Exactly, and considering how he legit is bragging about this he truly thinks he was not only justified but right to do it....makes you wonder what he left out that he wasn't as proud of.
My only beef with that last story is the guy’s blatant manipulation and emotional scarring of his kids, specifically the daughter. Leaving those searches up and articles printed were not accidental and to say they were is the most Machiavellian thing in that post. If you want the kid/kids to know, sit down and talk to them about and answer her/their questions. What they are about to go through is bad enough without dad manipulating them. He was legit the victim so there was no need to play games about it with his daughter. I don’t care who does it or for what purpose it is done, using your kids like that is morally reprehensible, irresponsible, and abusive. Here; take this soapbox back. I’m down off of it.
yes that was the part that really bothered me. I mean there was no lies told, everything was true and he was right. But its the way it was presented to the kids. The daughter was a teenager who could have easily understood the FB conversations from her mom, she didn't even need to see it just a word from dad.
Yes and now he is treating women like toys he gets to play with because he will never be serious about another relationship again. That’s not fair to those women who are maybe looking for a serious relationship and fall into his jerk trap
He is in a very difficult spot. He cannot speak ill of his ex in front of his children. Leaving his articles out for the daughter to discover was a method of opening the conversation without blatantly "tattling" on the ex. Hiding the truth is not the answer. His ex wasn't about to talk to her about it. (she should)
I'm glad someone else was as bothered about it as I was. Especially since the posted already citied the rocky relationship the mother and daughter already had. He went from being a sympathetic victim to a bit of a bastard by the time I was done listening. It felt like he just wanted one last dig at the ex and picked the cruelest thing to do. Wonder what his therapist would think of it?
ok with that last story, I was with the husband until the very end when he "accidentally" left searches on the computer about his wife cheating and the daughter found them, the kids should've been left out of this entirely, also him using his ex wife for sex by dangling the possibility of getting back together, yeah he went from being a sympathetic husband to a dog at the end, not excusing the wifes cheating, but they both sound like crappy people, the poor kids, they're really the ones who will suffer
So wait, she gets to destroy the family with her infidelity, but the kids should never find out because why? When it's parental alienation against a father people don't usually have anything to say.
@@lamario i think the kids should be left out of it, but he intentionally made sure they did find out. like i said in the story both parents suck and unfortunately the kids are the ones who suffer
I was fine with the last one... until he purposefully involved their daughter like that. By all f*cking means, be petty af to the woman who cheated, but you NEVER use you kids against them like that, EVER. That is, to me, disgusting. The kids were going to have a rough enough time with the divorce with the normal reasons given, but the fact he used his daughter like that is gross. She was old enough for him to be honest with her and not leave 'clues' for her to find. Using your kids like that for anything is disgusting behavior. (Edited for spelling/grammar errors)
Yeah. The wife was a POS but him doing that to his daughter felt like he cared more about using her then thinking about how alienating his kids from their mother would effect them long term. Seemed kind of selfish
@@ameliaburke3241 sounds like they were both equally pos and actually deserved each other. The fact that he uses his children to get revenge makes him an awful father in my opinion
Absolutely! One parent pitting their children against the other for just pettiness is SO MANY levels of wrong. The damage done to the children mentally and emotionally is going to stick for the rest of their lives.
Oh. My. God! That last story had me hooked from start to finish. My dude was playing 3D chess. He seriously needs to teach a course on "how to win everything in a divorce!"
I fell like the last one wasn't about just cheating. I'm sympathetic about whole situation but making children your pawns and use them as leverage... Gives strong psycho energy
Ok, honestly, the last one I started out so sympathetic to the guy, so mad at his cheating wife, but by the end...? Holy shit. That went past justice, past petty revenge, straight into Machiavellian cruelty. He didn't seem to have any particular concern for the damage he was doing to his children, either. And emotionally manipulating his ex (by dangling the possibility of getting her kids back, not just him) into being willing to have sex with him whenever he wants...? "Cultivating" friends-with-benefits with other people...? That is a troubling choice of words, considering the extremely manipulative way he is behaving in the rest of this. There is something wrong with this dude. I don't trust the way he is portraying the situation. Sounds like he might have sociopathic tendencies.
I don't think he manipulated the kids, he just showed the girl the truth. And for the wife, she deserves it for what she did to him. It may be easy to glosse over but lady may have caused him depression and PTSD. I am 100% happy for the dude who hadeled this like a boss.
@Noah Rouchouse He did manipulate the kids, he hid clues for them to find out, so he could play the victim. He could have told them straight or he could have kept it for himself, so he wouldn't hurt the children's image of their mother (which is very important for a teenager's developing self).
I get mad narcissist vibes from the guy who claims to have just worshiped his wife while she was talking to another guy and bashing him. That actually was revolting to read. He did not do all of that. 1000% Now I have finished it, dude is psychotic and none of that happened.
Yeah. Revolting is too right. Also the fact he says he was being ultra nice when he suspected his wife was cheating is the reddest flag too. He stepped up his game as a husband part of a sting operation? To prove a point? Definitely more here that he portrayed. Not the nice guy he's determined everyone see him as. I'm sad for his kids when they realise they were his pawns
@@phoebea.6378 Agreed. Why is it only after he found out about the cheating that he even went out of his way to spend time with his wife? Wife obviously horrible for cheating, but I can't help that there's so much that he neglected to mention in the story. Would love to hear what the wife has to say also. Towards the end the story just sounded like a selfish, manipulative power trip.
The second story, stealing her travel bags. That's not petty, guy, that's theft and you left a note which is evidence. You are lucky you weren't arrested.
I'm conflicted on the last one. Sure the ex-wife screwed up big time and the consequences of her decision to cheat is pretty much welcome, however, treating her like a call girl and the way the husband manipulated the children into showing why they divorced and inevitably choosing him doesn't really sit right with me. Dangling a false hope, manipulation and even bragging about it really makes me question the husband's character. I hope the children are mentally, physically and emotionally well.
yeah and the kids probably also know about that fake sgreement, that maybe their parents will get back together one day... Giving them false hopes that they will be family again like before, it's disgusting...
Yeah. Like, if he had a frank discussion with them (or at least the older one) about what happened, fair. But lying to and manipulating the daughter? Lying to the ex for sex? That's messed up.
Agree with all of this except that the wife is also a little dumb to let him string her along like this. Manipulating someone to get sex is horrid behavior, but if the sex is good then good for her, if it isn't, then she needs to check her values again and maybe she should try and find another partner who isn't married, idk
The last guy is pure evil. His pride got hurt and he burned everything in his way. The kids deserve to know. Cheating is one thing, but what he did was 5000 times worse. God only knows what kind of husband he was to her. Was probably manipulating her all throughout their marriage. Hope she finds his juicy confession and all is brought to light. He's a pos imo. The methodical way he exacted his revenge spells sociopath to me. Hope those children are ok. And hope they find out one day and stay as far tf away from him as possible. No sympathy for him.
All "fair enough" until he involved the kids, then just no. He sounds like a real piece of work. Probably a control freak sociopath, with how he uses other women now too. "Cultivate friends with benefits"? seriously nasty. Manipulative. Does he even care about his own kids? Highly doubtful; they're his meal ticket to not having to work full time. He even boasts about how he's conned his children into thinking he's the best dad ever.
@@JY-vh3be I don't think she is a great person for having an affair, and I don't condone it, but for a man to manipulate his own children to hate their mother and to do everything else he did takes a certain type of evil that existed there already.
I was with that last guy, right up until he ambushed his children. As Charlotte read the part about dear ol' loving dad, deliberately setting it up to shatter his children and possibly destroy any chance of those kids ever having a good relationship with their mother, I kept exclaiming, "That Bastard!". At no time did he say she was a bad mother, just a bad wife. He should have made an over the phone appointment to speak to a therapist about what/when/if they tell the children. He wanted revenge so much that he used his own children as cannon fodder. Everyone in this family needs therapy, both individually and together. Explain that they're just people, and sometimes people make mistakes. And be sure to tell them that there is no part of this shit-show that they are responsible for. Stress this is 100% the parent's fault. I'm aware that I switched tenses here and there, what can I say, it's Boxing Day, and I'm half asleep thanks to my turkey sandwich.
His wife probably cheated because he's a sociopathic narcissist . His children & their need for a relationship with their Mom , were just collateral damage to him.
Absolutely wholeheartedly agree with you on this. I think he got his revenge in that hotel, the rest of it is just really messed up! Is he going to punish her for as long as they live? It's extremely unhealthy, for him too, as he isn't moving on in an appropriate way. The way he used the children is very upsetting. He is also giving them false hope of maybe having their family back together. He actually ends up sucking more than she did.
In my opinion he is worse than her. I was completely on his side until "oh honey you were not supposed to find those". I bet there is more to this story than he is telling. Anyone that would purposely cause pain to their child just to get back at someone and then brag about it is not a great parent or person.
@@tiffakang4525 tru tru I agree, is it overkill? Yessss, but is it somewhat justified? YESSSS, like, if you didn't want this stuff to happen, don't cheat, if the sparks are fading, talk it out, separate properly, or try to reignite, I don't care, just have the decency to communicate, if you don't, than reap the consequence and ultimately that consequence ended up being her marriage, house and the kids opinions of her. Too bad so sad, maybe do better next time. To be honest it's very likely they would have eventually found out and it would have been super messy when they did, they probably would have been mad they'd been lied to for so long, personally that's something I'd want, no, need to know, myself. Is it overkill tho? Hell yea but this is a vid about people doing petty crap that's obviously overkill, dude's admitting this cus he knows it's probably a bit wronggg, but is it petty revenge? Very much so. It was totally petty tho, and very manipulative. Edit: urrggh I didn't realise he used the potential of getting back together for (bedroom activities) okay not cool dude. That's not even petty at that point it's edging on sleezy
Totally agree, and the manipulation that follow afterwards is just awful, people cheat and make mistakes but two wrongs don’t make a right, I come from a split family and I would hate my dad if this was him, I would also hate my mum for cheating and being so sly, but honestly the dad sounds just as bad, like letting your kids find that and upsetting them on purpose is just… wrong, and then to actually be proud of yourself for demonising the other parent in your kids eyes, wow I mean talk about selfish. It’s not good for the kids and could really mess them up. Even in foster families where kids are coming from parents that have neglected them because of drugs etc we never demonise or slate the parent, it so damaging. Only if the parent is an abuser is this acceptable.
I would have been 100% behind that last one until he dragged their kids into it. Dude used his kids as pawns in his revenge. Not cool. He better hope they never figure out this is him and that they were used.
@@jessicaferguson4518 Agreed. I wouldn't dare justify infidelity, but his willingness to use his own children as revenge destroyed any support for him I was having while listening to this, and made me question his overall personality.
He also admitted to coercing a woman into sleeping with him by emotional manipulation, that's messed up. That "whenever I want" line gave me the chills 😨
As a parent, leaving that out for your kids to find was disgusting. My ex did terrible things to me and I never brought that up to my oldest (the child we share). Putting that pain on your kids for your own gain is horrible.
It's called nuclear revenge. Sociopathic? no. he clearly had emotions and he did clearly care. He just went beyond feeling them and looked out for himself and his kids.
@@TheOMGRamensome people do f-d up shit expecting no one is going to do anything about it Then one day they f up a wrong person, that is even crazier than them, and get f-d up by them He's definitely a douche,but she's not the saint either
I was all in with the last guy who had been cheated on... UNTIL he drug his innocent children into his petty revenge. There is absolutely ZERO reason for him to involve the kids just to ruin their relationship with their mother. She absolutely messed up. But to hurt the kids to hurt her? Nah. That is absolutely gross. And one day when those kids are older and figure out what he did just to hurt their mother he will see what it feels like when your kids turn against you. But HE did thia to himself
That guy was all good until he told the kids. That was a poor plan. If your child asks, don’t lie. But don’t ‘leave the browser open’. That punishes the child as much as it punishes the ex.
The last one went a little too far. He should've stopped after the hotel. This level of manipulation (especially of his own kids) makes me really uncomfortable.
Like other people, I was with the last guy until he "accidentally" left articles for his daughter to find. Another way of putting it is that he deliberately caused trauma to his daughter. He and his ex had "the talk" with them, she was coming over 3x a week to cook, clean, and spend time with their kids, and he destroys their relationship. He even says he "plays the victim" during counseling sessions. The ex never should have cheated, but by his own account, she was putting in 100% effort to work through her issues and be a better person. He, on the other hand, sounds like he should have taken the counseling seriously, as he now seems bitter and malicious.
And when you consider these are things he brags about....makes you wonder what he has left out, because he thinks it might not be applauded, when he thinks those actions were good ones.
I wonder if he will still be crowing, when his children realize that, with “Daddy”, there are no such things as “accidents”. You know, like when his daughter dates someone he disapproves of, and suddenly a bunch of dirt just magically appears, to discredit that person. This guy is a stone cold narcissist.
Agreed. Ex-wife is genuinely trying to make an effort to create a stable family environment for the kids and he's actively trying to ruin it. Obviously, this could have been avoided without the cheating. But it seems like she's trying her best and for him to continue to manipulate her and the kids is cruel and doesn't make him the better person at all.
It reads like he should have been made fun of for some of the shit he was up to pre-cheating. And because it was true he decided to go scorched earth and detonate a nuclear bomb in his own family. All those hoes he's porking will create his consequences.
@@Tyveksuit My mom would leave letters up to my dad on "blank" word documents in white ink. I only discovered it when going to shut off the computer and noticing the prompt "do you want to save your work?" on a document that appeared to have no words. Long, weepy prose about how she can't do this anymore. He's mean and absent and unsupportive and blah blah blah. It had strong basis in truth: He was vindictively mean, toxic-traditional, and absent. But there's a shred of him that did seem to care. I miss that, and strangely although my mother was abundantly present I do not miss her. I often wonder if he just gave up over time and became corrosive the more my mom manipulated things. Especially as my mom "poked holes" to have more kids when he said he was done at 2, then at 3, and then he was fully burnt out as 4 and 5 came along. As for my mother, I believe she's more than capable of such bullshit. First off, it's teenaged behavior. My mom was an extreme night owl and my dad was a military early bird, but there's other ways to do that especially after the iphone became available and she did this well after both my parents got iphones. She is a narcissist who fabricated her own version of reality that we all had to participate in or face constant mental fatigue and trauma. There are certain things she's said to us that have made every person I've told exclaim "HOLY SHIT" verbatim whether they were agnostic or a weekly-Sunday Baptist. And for that I've disowned them both. There are many things she's done that have destroyed me mentally and emotionally. I'm almost disabled, my mental health is so bad, and that's her. My dad too, but it didn't take me too long after 18yo to see the balance. All that to say... his kids will work it out. If he actually gives a shit about his children, THAT will hurt. He might be too narcissistic to ever admit that he caused that, he might just blame it on his wife and on them eventually, but like my mother he'll have to live with their absence/contempt. He doesn't have to "get it." He just won't get to meet his first grandkid before his wife does. And that'll fucking sting. I look forward to that for him.
My ex refused to leave our shared bed until the divorce papers arrived in the mail, so I bought a bedroom set from the furniture store we'd previously only dreamed of being able to afford. I moved into the office and started dating a coworker who's six inches taller than him. I had to pay him to keep the house, but he filed bankruptcy and his new wife left him within 5 years of our divorce. 💅🏾
That guy should get the life time achievement award for how guys get divorced on their terms not hers… he gets my atta boi of the decade. lol…😂thanks Charlotte. Happy Holidays 🎄
I was totally sympathetic to the guy in the last one until he decided to manipulate his kids into thinking that his mother did some horrible thing just to get them to stay with him. I understand that having your partner cheat on you, especially when you're committed and trying to make it work, is horrible BUT I absolutely hate that he brought his kids into this for his own gain.. the way he said how he was a saint in his kids eyes, dangling a carrot in front of his ex-partner, getting her to do stuff and still getting away with having fun after all that, my dude, you have some serious manipulation and narcissistic tendencies... makes me wonder if that was one of the contributors for his marriage failing off in the first place. Either ways, not cool at all.
I agree with the sentiment, but I will point out that their mother DID do " some horrible thing". There was no deceit in what he implied she did, only in how he communicated it to them.
Gotta say I was with that father in the last story until he left the infidelity articles around for the kids to find. No matter what happens, don’t involve your kids in your mess.
im sorry but children deserve to know when their mom is a peice of crap.. especially since that cheater sounds like the type that would try to spin the story on him. if he didnt have the leverage, she probably wouldve tried to say he cheated.
I agree and disagree. Children shouldn't be weaponized at all, but since divorce laws typically favor women more even with ironclad papers, I understand why Dad did what he did. I will add that he should drive the point to his kids that just because you're mom doesn't love me, doesn't mean she doesn't love you. Often times, and it's really unfair, it's equated that an unfaithful spouse is a bad parent; those two things aren't inclusive each other.
@@AlchemistConfections an unfaithfal spouse is a bad parent. YOU made the decision to cheat on the person you created the child with. YOU made the family problems. YOU are the bad parent, person, and daughter/son. a cheater is a disgrace on everyone, especially their children......
Kids aren’t effing revenge. Not excusing the affair, but I can possibly see why she checked out emotionally. Dude clearly has no limits when it comes to getting what he wants.
The young lady who ran for resident hall council is an absolute gem of pettiness

Just don't cheat. 100% agree
Also, don't cheat on someone that is very calculated and (obviously) organised in everything they do.
If you feel the need to cheat, just end the relationship.
If you’re considering cheating, then there’s something there …. Address it, work on it, fix it…. Or end it!
Hello
@@bambiwhite2030 THANK U
The last one went from petty to evil 🤣
Careful, don't become a bad man because you had a bad wife.
Yep he turned into a db real quick, using the kids to get back at her
Seriously he’s a jerk. She may not have been the best wife but to do that to the kids is so awful. Kids don’t need involved in adult issues. I have a feeling he embellished a lot of details as well. Plus thinking she will always pine for him?! He’s delusional
I think he might have always been bad
He was fffing evil genious! Maybe a bit psychotic. But well deserved I guess. Still not the villain, as we understand - but an anti hero
Then people should make sure to never MAKE a good man evil. And vice versa.
The Count of Monte Cristo can take some lessons from the last person in the art of revenge . 🙂 . But forever , the title of pettiest of them all belongs to Charlotte . 😁
Love this reference
My favorite book ever! Love this reference!
@@MollyHuffle Maybe I read the wrong translation. I found it a bit of a slog, but I will agree -- it was not lacking in incident, derring-do, and buckling of swashes. Nothing like playing the long game!
I was with the dude who got cheated on until he purposely left the wife infidelity google research up where his daughter could find it.
4D Chess level petty. the award goes to.... dad!
The start of the video had me saying Charlotte wins, even before you said it yourself.
I was with the last guy right up till he involved the kids. I don't care how petty you are, leave your kids out of the fights between you and your (ex)spouse. They're your kids, not weapons to be used to hurt your ex. It is an epic tale of petty revenge, but he didn't need to involve his kids, and ruin their relationship with their mother just because he's hurting.
Agreed, it’s kinda disappointing seeing how people in the comments are worshipping this guy when he was super manipulative
I agree with you to a point. But the only other option was the possibility of the kids being raised by someone with the morals of an alley cat. He had to play the system the way the system demands to be played and it sucks.
That and using and manipulating her for sexx doesn’t make him any better than her imo. They both suck lol
I completely agree. I understand he didn't want his wife to raise them, but he needs to get therapy for his children because of what he did. Extremely messy divorces can seriously hurt their ability to form relationships in the future. He may have destroyed their chances at marriage and his chances of having grandchildren.
if not him then the lady could turn them on against him. in divorce its almost always first come first get situation. even though she was guilty court could have made him liable and gave kids to mom. he played his pawns well.
That revenge was so frigid it burned.
As someone whose sole existence was abused and manipulated by a parent for financial benefit over the other parent, and who was manipulated into hating that other parent on false accusations (I was young, didn't really know any better until I grew older), I was with the last guy 'til like, the half of the story, but by the end had naught but hatred for him. I've had enough personal experience dealing with a sociopath to recognize one, and man, all the red flags are there.
Yeah, as much as his ex sucks, he's worse for manipulating his kids for his benefit with zero regard for their well-being. Anyone who thinks his actions are justified is either a moron or a psychopath.
Agree 💯
Agree absolutely. Honestly the marriage was probably hell for that woman given his behavior. She should have left him, not cheated, but I wonder how much she was being manipulated for many, many years.
yeah but that’s if the accusations are false . they aren’t . she cheated 😂😂😂😂😂
@@nicloren2220 i was bouta say that too
That last dude gave me so many red flags. Beyond petty to malicious.

Sounds like y'all are a couple of cheaters.
And made his own daughter cry on purpose😢 it's not like he showed her a sad movie. No, he went out of his way to hurt his daughter with the goal of getting his way?😢😢😢Scared his child (maybe?) for life. Now he is the villain.
3:53 Did a quick Internet search and not even sure what I found was real (because it’s just as, if not more, unbelievable), and this video is semi fake but the truth (if what I found was real) is just as petty with a good dose of Karen. He didn’t cut the power because he was refused entry, he did it so he could sleep.😄 P.S I love his perfect timing.😄
Yea I believe that's the real story as well. He just wanted to sleep.
well, i was all for it till you said that. so he ruined 100s or 1000s of peoples time cause he was selfish? those people probably PAID for those tickets. thats pretty despicable EDIT: ok got the backstory, thank you malediction wolf and im on the guys side now!!
@@hollyshaw-elliemae there's more to it than just that--the festival actually asked him if they could use his electric hookup, he said no, they did it anyway. That's how he was able to turn it off from outside, it was all plugged in to HIS house, against his wishes. They were literally stealing his electricity and he would have been stuck with the multi-thousand dollar bill had he not switched it off. So there's that as well. Sucks for the festival goers, yes, but it is legitimately the festival's fault. All they had to do was set up with their own power and generators instead of stealing his electricity, and it would have been fine. He wouldn't have been ABLE to switch it off, even if he wanted to. But they decided to be shady about it and plug into his electric and hope he didn't notice until the bill came.
@@maledictionwolf OOOOH ok well, that turns it the WHOLE thing around. see, had there been A LITTLE BACKSTORY... this channel really fails sometimes. know im totally on the other side. and that man is an ICONNNNN... with all the commentary he does, he could have maybe thrown that in , ya know?
@Malediction Wolf that's shady AF of the festival planners! IF THIS WERE THE US I would have reported them to the police. But knowing this wasn't filmed IN the US, police could have been paid off to let it slide.
I was with the last guy until the kids were brought into it. My mother did something very similar (reason for divorce wasn't infidelity though) and I literally wrote a letter to her this morning saying how I don't want contact with her furthermore because of all the manipulation and triangulation against my father. This man might not realize it, but his petty actions may have gone too far and could cost him his relationship with his children as they become adults and understand how they were used as pieces in a brutal game.
Exactly. This is exactly how things will go.
I totally agree. I was invested until the kids came into the picture. That was so unnecessary. Kids need to be aware of what is going on and assured it has nothing to do with them. To use them as pawns is inexcusable. I'm not in his head but I hope he realizes, in therapy, what he did was wrong. Then he's dating on Tinder? Ick. Take some time for yourself and your children, not some random woman.
@@WeAllLiveInTheTwilightZone He also says that he uses the promise of potentially getting back together with the Mum as a way to use her for sex, which is disgusting. You don't lie and manipulate people for sex, ever.
@@Fragmented_Mask I think this guy is holding back something. He comes across as this wholesome victim and then he does a complete 180 to get back at her. That required some planning.
The petty revenge on the last one was great, but I do feel sorry for the kids for being pulled into their argument. They have no say in their parents' romantic lives, and always end up blaming themselves in the end. She at least didn't sound like a bad mother and I never liked when adults manipulate kids into preferring one over the other. Best wishes for the guy though, must have been horrible to go through.
So true. And we never heard her side of it, he says he thought they were happy. Oh yeah, what was your wife thinking? Not to excuse her cheating at all but he went proper nuclear on her. Then it seemed he got drunk on the power, dangling the prospect of getting back to together to get sex with her. That turned it for me. I was on his side before that.
@@morganhowie6927 exact same
Yeah thar went from petty revenge to downright nasty. No need to treat the kids like that. He sounds like he's being a bastard to the new gfs as well as his ex
Yeah aye, I can almost hear the manosphere teachings coming through what he was saying. Not sure but to bring the kids in was toxic.
@@morganhowie6927 Nah, screw her. If she wasn't happy she should have been a responsible adult and divorce the husband instead of being a little cheating slut then maybe the divorce would go by much smoother for her. She deserved it. But yes, I agree, dragging the kids into this is far but I'm still mostly on his side.
The last one lost me when he started manipulating the kids. Finding out your parent cheated is its own trauma. This was downright harmful to them and they never should have been involved in this. He's very proud of it, which tells me how little he truly cares how his manipulation and the pain he caused them has and will continue to impact their lives from here on out.
That rubbed me the wrong way too... I could NEVER do that to my kid. He should've stopped at the papers... The way he went on for months, manipulated everything and everyone... I get that he's hurt but damn, I wouldn't forgive my parent if I found out this is what they did to get back at my other parent. Two wrongs don't make a right but again damn dude... This isn't going to work out it the future, especially because this is on social media and he can't ever deny it.
He's a snake!
Honestly, I'm not so sure that that last story was real. Like, it sounded too much like some divorced guy's power fantasy. And would he really risk his wife or his kids finding the Reddit post, putting two and two together and figuring out that he essentially told the kids on purpose? Yeah, I call bullshit.
Agree 100%
Idk it was shady how they found out but in the end it's not his fault mom cheated. So did he cause the trauma by letting them find out the truth or did mom's actions cause the trauma? As a child of a cheating parent & divorced parents I'm glad that my parents kept it real with me & led me to make better relationship choices than my parents. Dad & mom should have told the truth from the jump, not the weird manipulation, but mom is ultimately at fault.
The guy cutting off power to a whole concert is a villain origin story. The music would be his villain theme
I'm seriously stunned by how many people seem to find it completely okay to use kids as weapons in a divorce. Doing that is just vile. And I speak from experience, as my biodad (who was the cheater in my story) did exactly that. I didn't have much of relationship with him before, had none after I found out.
Yep just left a comment about this before seeing yours, very much agree, this kind of stuff can have massive impact on kids and their future relationships with other people.... not ok and sorry you had to go through that
Agreed
Agreeing with all of you! Adult problems are adult problems. We're supposed to protect children.... not weaponize them..... I'm ALL for petty... I'm a petty bitch lol... but I would never include my stepdaughter in a fight/disagreement with my husband.
Yup. Destroying a relationship between mother and daughter at age 14 is an awful thing to do to your daughter! Keep the kids out of it. Unless the relationship is toxic or abusive, you support your relationship with their other parent, because that’s the right thing for the KIDS.
@@karenneill9109 agreed.
Ultimately the best thing for the kids would be to try to forgive their mother and fix their relationship, sadly thats not what happened
My ex husband went overseas and cheated. I left my wedding dress, all wedding keepsakes, our bedding. Knowing he would be getting his items shipped to him, I wanted to be petty and make him deal with the leftover wedding stuff in front of his mistress. Ahhhh, petty 😁 you feel so good
See now that's petty revenge I can get behind! Hope you're doing good :)
Making someone go back through a drive through just to be petty is so evil, I love it 🤣
It is brilliant.
@@Dachdogoriginal Not really, all it did was hurt the people working the drive thru and everyone behind the woman. She wouldn't have to go thru the drive thru again, in fact the store probably gave her her order for free to make up for him taking it.
That guy with the kids? Absolute genius! I love that guy!
That last one was splendid. I would buy this guy endless drinks.
I was with that last guy until the end. Something started feeling off when it looked like he went to therapy to get help but took time off just to screw over his wife into paying child support. Then he talked about manipulating his daughter, and all of my empathy vanished. You don't use your kids like that. One day, she's going to find out what actually happened, and it'll ruin her relationship with her father, too. He could have sat down and spoken to her - hell, he could have even told mom she needed to be there to explain. It would have been just as much of an F U, but at least it would have been a warranted one. And then "I can get sex whenever I want." Holy crap, dude. I hope his ex finds out exactly how much he's screwing with her head and takes him back to court. I'm not saying what she did was right, but there's a line between petty revenge and egomaniac, and he crossed it.
Sounds like he wasn't being honest about the whole thing even if he was why would he sink to her level. He got everything he wanted he won why dose he need to be a dick about it.
@@Nevertoleave This right here! So gross, and some people did not catch that part either.
@@Autheil But he got everything FROM going to her level. That's why he's happy. He won, the method don't matter, she wronged him. He hurt her worse, but she drew first blood and made sure the war would be over the moment it began. It seems very clear he doesn't care about being a good person, he just cares about keeping what he wants and not losing anything else. Not condoning him... but I don't think he cares about being the bigger person.
@@Autheil it makes me wonder if he was emotionally abusive to her, and she didn’t feel safe to break up with him and be honest, so she didn’t bother and just found another dude. She should still break up before jumping to cheating, but it does make you wonder…
He lived long enough to become the villain…
The young woman plastering up her campaign posters everywhere so the ex and his gf have to see them is genius!! He even has her watching him while he's peeing at the urinal!! Lol!!
The last one 💀
The daughter will act the same when she founds out the reason behind their divorce-- so I don't think it was necessary to manipulate the scene. My respect for his pettiness dropped a level when he decided to play innocent bystander to his daughter.
And keeping the ex-wife as an convenient FWB is a ticking time-bomb strapped to his belt. Never know when or how they might blow up. Just cut her out.
I was all the way w the dad in the last one till he basically told the kids what mom did. Me and my siblings are product of separation and divorce, I truly believe in never ever involving the children
why? for what? so the children can blindly bend over backwards for a cheater? nah. screw her. she lost the right to parenting when she decided to be such a disgusting person. she was also not only cheating, but HUMILIATING him to another person. but when its their kids, its suddenly too far. nah bro, she got a taste of her own medicine. don't be an awful person if you don't want your children to know about you being an awful person. -someone with separated parents.
I wouldn't have acted like this dude, but in my opinion keeping it a secret from children is not fair.
They at least should have known whose fault this is
They shouldn't have brought children into this, but they needed to specify at least who is in the wrong,so children could process it normally (not "your mother cheated", but maybe " your mom did a mistake,so we can't be together, but we still love you and will still be your family"
If there's no closure or information about what's happening
How are they supposed to heal?
My boy was playing the loooooooooooooong game. JBC was just a pawn. His wife didn't stand a chance. Custody... spousal support... that was smart as hell!
Wow, I do feel bad for the last guy because cheating is never okay, but dragging your kids into this and then still sleeping with your ex-wife just to spite her sounds a bit over the top?? It’s red flags for me
Exactly, when this is stuff he thinks he was so in the right that he is legit bragging about it, makes you wonder how incredibly awful the stuff he is leaving out is
And the fact she sleeps over very often is so damaging to the children, can you imagine the hope they have that their parents might actually get back together everytime she sleeps over? He's doing all of this psycho shit for his sexual pleasure while destroying his kids and his ex's lives and relationships.
His wife is bad but he is worse for doing this. What a (censored).
I heard the last story before but hearing it again makes me rage. What manipulative behavior and he hurt his kids to get his way. It’s disgusting.
So, you don't think the wife hurt the family? He's was being manipulative, but he only unearthed the truth to the kids, he didn't tell them anything that wasn't true. BTW, women tend to do this stuff pretty often to men (even in cases with no infidelity), make sure you keep that same energy.
Cheating is horrible but the last dude gives me the creeps. "Oh honey, you weren't supposed to find this..." Yikes. And it's not just about the kids. I almost missed that detail but he makes the ex-wife come over and sleep with him on the premise of maybe getting back together which he won't actually do. Yeah no manipulating someone so they have sex with you is disgusting behavior as well.
Exactly. Makes you wonder what else he left out (that he might not be so proud of) when these actions are things he thinks are worthy of bragging about.
Same here. I get that being cheated on is terrible, but he sounds even more awful and this is HIS SIDE of the story.
i was on his side and all for it, then i read that sentance and lost all respected hed gotten to that point. like, thats just vile. if hes got tinderellas, go to them. fucking sexual predator behavior right there
Yeah, it was such a good story until that point.
You can see why she cheated on him. He’s manipulating and even manipulated the kids just so they would stay with him. This post seemed like his inflated version of what happened. I wonder what really happened.
Woo man, that last one wowzers. That's a definite mic drop. If you have a good partner don't cheat!!!! It's NEVER worth it.
No lie, I get why the last wife cheated. You don’t just pull that level of sadistic revenge out of no where. He sounds psychotic.
Never thought about it that way, he prob didn't just turn into that terrible of a human over a cheating wife. He was sure to lead up with how he thought everything was great etc, but he prob left out a lot of things that were prob bad in their relationship just to not give any reason for his wife to cheat and bad mouth him. The manipulating the kids thing really made me think badly of that dude. What a terrible thing to do.
I didn’t think of that but yeah. Possible. What really bothered me though is the part of the kids discovering the infidelity. That is evil!
How much you want to bet that the messages "tearing him down" were just accurate descriptions of his behavior?
The parental alienation on the last one is tough to swallow, honestly that person sounds like they have serious personality issues to hurt their kids in the wake of their revenge. Their ex deserved to have an unfavourable divorce agreement, but all that manipulation was not necessary (e.g. having *ahem* whenever he wants because she hopes they can reunite). It’s entertaining for us as we’re strangers, but I hope they can work on themselves as that is an excessive response to cheating. The unfavourable dissolution of their marriage should be enough consequence IMHO. It’s especially damaging to manipulate his kids with the articles, etc. They have to grow up and have relationships, too.
Exactly. His disregard for his kids makes him an unreliable narrator....plus he is bragging about manipulating his kids, if he thinks that is not only justified but something to be proud of, what has he not told us about because he isn't proud of it. 🤔
His kids once older and realize are likely to resent him
Totally agree. IMHO no one is mentally ok to keep a revenge quest for so long. As he tells, it seems his life is still guided by the and he can't let it go. I'm sorry for this family.
Hurt ppl hurt ppl, not right but it’s kinda a repeating cycle we see
The girl that did the posters, how utterly devious, I take my hat off to you
You can call that petty but it actually has some serious psychopath vibes to it as well when he goes so far as to use the kids as targeted weapons by manipulating their feelings.
This. Right. Here.
Exactly
And honestly, I'm not entirely sure he's telling the truth. He kept his composure during their conversation somehow. He planned it out JUST right so he'd get benefit from working part time. After that bit about manipulating his daughter, his whole story smells fishy to me.
@@hawklegs6940 Yup! He planned things a little too well. It makes you wonder if he wasn't horrible before.
Legit! The guy is a serious POS. I wouldn't be surprised if he was manipulative in the relationship as well.
4:35 the guy that cut the power to the festival is the epitome of “if I can’t have her, no one can!”
Dude at then end ..... If you are reading this .....
You're a bloody legend. Well done mate. It will take a while to trust someone again, but you will.
And for everybody else ..... NEVER trust a cheater
I totally support everything the last guy did - EXCEPT threatening to damage the mental health of a teenager who is already in a vulnerable place, all in order to weaponize a child.
Protect the kids, y'all.
The children, especially a teenager is going to want to know why their parents split. They have a right to know because it will effect their choices. Counselling will be needed in this case.
@@Dove96 yeah, except you're supposed to do it with the help of a therapist and not as a threat to weaponize against the other parent.
It should be done at the right time, under the right circumstances.
@@Dove96 and with a child, there is a right way to do it and a wrong way to do it.
Agreed. That was immoral
But children still deserve to know
He should've involved professionals,but acted like a snake
HOLYYY CRAPPP. Yeah the guy got crazy amounts of revenge on the ex wife. But dragging the kids into it. That's just wrong. He went too far.
TRUST ME, when I say I DON'T agree with cheating AT ALL (having been the cheated on far too many times) HOWEVER... I was with the last guy right up until he started "faking" MH, getting signed off work, and turning the kids on the mum, whilst up holding himself as the "better person/victim". Frankly that takes it beyond petty and starts boarding on emotional manipulation which says a LOT more about the time of person he is and less about what a shitty person his wife was. There is such a thing as taking it too far.
He wasn't faking MH. He clearly said he went to his own therapist and was diagnosed with depression and PTSD.
@@VictoriaMarch13 It's uber easy (way, way too easy) to get a depression diagnosis these days. It's pretty much an Oprah meme "you get diagnosed with depression, and you do, and you get diagnosed with depression too!"
@@gustaftheone9279 i wonder why.... maybe its the way the world is set up for us by the older generation. 🙃🙃
The last gut: classy and smart way of protecting yourself. Brilliant.
I loved the last petty case! So calculated. Vengeance is so sweet when emotions are put away and you thing of reasonable ways to get back on someone who has hurt you so much… respect! 🫡
that last guy played that brilliantly
Ok but "dangeling that carrot of maybe getting back together" can seriously hurt the kids. Sneaky plan but I am worried for the childrens emotional wellness in this situation.
Not to mention him using it to get her (the ex-wife) to sleep with him is beyond gross in all ways on its own. The children being used was wrong, but wait until they realize he used their mom like that too?
It’s an old story and possibly fake. I feel like I remember there being a part of the story where he keeps having sex with her just cause he can, even though he doesn’t want to get back together. I could be mixing it up with another story, though.
Eh, dangling the carrot to her. Not the kids.
@@aennaenn7468 Imagine your parents are divorced and your life will never be the same. But there is the slight chance that it might.
A divorce can be traumatic for a child, no matter the age. In this perticular case I would say especially for the daughter, who were very close to her mother. Now to pretend that you might get back together someday might lead to:
1. The false hope for the children that everything will be OK and back to normal again.
2. The wife not being able to pursue love again. Which can damage her even more and in correlation to that: the kids.
My partner has separated parents and it has really screwed him up. Emotionally but also relationship wise. So I am really worried how this will turn out for the kids in the future and how they will look on relationships and marriage.
@@kawaiimonsta8160 she should have thought about her family before single handedly destroying it. Sure setting up those books was a bit manipulative but he didn’t lie and he still comforted them and told them their mother loves them she just made a mistake. I’ve seen people use their kids a lot worse and honestly the plan glided like butter. She’s still able to see her kids but she got the stupid prized she played for. Goood riddance

I was on the side of OP for the last story until he basically started a supervillain arc with manipulating his kids. That’s awful. His actions aren’t healthy at all towards the end. Both parents are the buttholes in this situation. And OP seriously needs more counseling.
Supervillain origin stories often come from tragedies inflicted on them by others. If the guy is honest about having depression and PTSD... my guess is he is relishing the feeling of having control and manipulating her for once. Being able to inflict the same secret pain on her she did on him. Ideally he'll eventually realize he's no better than her... but some people just break and they don't get fixed. Some people just stop trusting or caring about people because of how one person treated them. It's also possible he just uses people from now on for what he wants and that's his sad life
@@Fordo007 That’s what really concerns me. This reads too much like a story from the scary story Reddit thread where an almost cheating wife is paralyzed on her way to see the person she almost physically cheated with. And the husband, knowing she’ll beg him to stay with her because she’s disabled (yay ableism at its best), is making her do extremely degrading things like crawling upstairs to give him water. Don’t know if he was already like this but he is now a person I would not recommend being friends with. He’s very scary now.
@@LittleAmyHe Dang, and that's just almost cheating too.
@@usernameisunavailable8270 That story really plays on my fear of being unloved due to being disabled or sick. I know it’s not rational and I’m mostly over it, but dang does that story just remind me I still have some trauma related to that.
@@LittleAmyHethat’s what I thought as well, kinda toxic and manipulative behavior from his end
That last one . . . Damn! Dude was savage, good for him!
For that last one, honestly, good luck to those kids. That father is a manipulator just as bad, if not worse than the cheating mother. He hurt his children mentally to manipulate them into choosing to live with him. They're screwed no matter what.
definitely worse imo
ah yes its so wrong when its on the other foot but go on baby bo bo get yours right?
That last one was totally one sided. The wife should not have cheated but that guy painted himself as a saint. To top it off he manipulated his children into hating their Mom by involving them in adult/parental situations and problems. That will bite the Dad in the butt on day. That Dad is a Manipulator and I would bet there is more to this story that he is telling.
Exactly. Especially when you consider that these are things he is legit bragging about...makes you wonder what he left out because he wasn't so proud of
@@SoManyRandomRamblings He probably called his god complex and hypertrad demands for his wife those "insecurities and flaws" they were mocking him about. And who knows if he cared enough to make an effort in bed. You can be girthy af but if you make it all about you it's a shitty experience every time.
I mean, no doubt there are two sides to this story but dang, I know I don’t make the best decisions when I’m distraught and emotionally drained. People have breaking points, ya know? Don’t know the guy but the pettiness and turning the kids against her was so nasty but probably just the only way he could possibly cope. Can you imagine finding out your wife was cheating and then your kids leaving you and suddenly no more family at all, when you weren’t the one who cheated? I def know there are two sides but we get too wrapped up in women vs guys and how we emphasize more with the women because we understand them better. Heartbreak is heartbreak. Sad all around
100% agree
Oh, spare us. If it had been the husband who had cheated and the wife did all this, thee'd be all "You go, girl!? Get off that two-face high horse.
Mmmh, the last one. That's not petty. I know malignant narcissists, and *all* of my alarm bells are going off. I would very much like to hear how the wife in the last story got to the emotional place she did, from her perspective, because the more we heard of the 'victim' husband the skeezier and more manipulative of an individual he came to be. And his peppering in of finally doing regular father/husband things for glossed over justification of the too little, too late absentee partner on his end. How long was he checked out? Was he ever anything but an a-hole? He also committed the very worst act of emotionally manipulating his children as weapons in something they should never be exposed to in such a way just to ensure that he humiliated his wife and took her children. Doesn't sound like a good father to me. Not to mention the prolonged extraction of sex under false pretense to what? Punish, demean? Destroy? Why? So, he's very good at lying and manipulation. That's targeted malevolence against the entire family. Sounds like a malignant narcissist who systematically took her down. Did any of this actually happen as he wanted presented, at all? I question all of the events as relayed by this 'victim'. Sounds like a story orchestrated about yet another time he 'won'. I don't believe him. I'm related malignant narcissists like him. It's exactly what they would do and then crow about.
My thoughts exactly. It sounds too perfectly orchestrated, and he's definitely bragging in the end about how he "won". And how he dragged his kids into it? Disgusting.
wow.. with ALL the stories from men in divorces wifes lying about him abusing the kids, taking the kids and not allowing him to see them.... wives accusing the men of sexually interfering with the kids - then when it is found out they lied nothing happens to them...
just wow..
one guy gets a little back compared to that ... and you get all self righteous...
impressive.....
i was thinking... well good for him...
my mother's parent got divorced and my grandma movied with the kids hundreds of miles away so he found it very difficult to see them... my mother hated him (grandma had poisoned her mind) and he could only see his son at the police station....
year later when i was born my mother met and had a teary reunion with her father and found that he hadn't been the ogre my grand mother painted him as ... and he had been paying maintenance the whole time and my grandmother apparently had been gambling it away....
my parent got divorced ... my father pretended and got away with not paying maintenance as he was working at a job for cash and he was supposedly only getting a bit more than unemployment....
yes and my father had a VERY big gambling problem... also an alcoholic .... not sure re the cheating but i wouldn't be surprised.... he was a ladies man...sigh
Given the deal he made with the lawyer and all that fluff about being the perfect husband when he found out...sounds like a man who had this all planned out already and was just doing everything possible to LOOK like a loving husband. Notes, taking time off work to take care of things, fixing things at home-all things he can have a papertrail for when brought up in court. Why would we believe his story of being a sweet husband when he's already bragging about how he manipulated his ex wife, children, therapist, employer, and judge.
I'm not one to call someone a narcissist online...but this story is seeping in it. The manipulation, the meticulousness of gathering info against her and in favor of himself, the idea that everyone loves him-even those he's using, the way he has to completely destroy someone who wronged him...yeahhhh.
Regardless of his personality, he didn't make her cheat. Nobody makes their partner cheat. You could be the worst person in the world, but nobody has the right to cheat on you. If your partner wants to be with someone else, they can leave. You can't use someone else's poor behaviour to justify your own (especially in a situation with children - she must have realised how her kids would react...).
He could be a saint or a complete a-hole, but you go about these things the right way - and she was in the wrong (& helped him get one over on her) the second she cheated. And, if she knew he was awful and that's what drove her away, then she should've known that he would take her to the cleaners when he caught her - making her actions really dumb.
All I can think is if this is why she felt the need to cheat in the first place?
In addition, what he describes is not a cheater wife. He describes a woman attempting to flee an abusive marriage but is lost and doesn’t know how to do it. He describes himself as a monster and an abuser as though it’s a badge of honor. I hope the teachers or someone catches on. I’ve seen this before. I knew one woman whose husband caused her to commit suicide by being like this. The children never forgave him. If this guy’s ex wife commits suicide, he only has himself to blame. I hope instead she gets a good attorney and exposes him for the abusive monster that he is.
Agreed.
I thought exactly the same, That poor woman must have been so emotionally drained in that marriage as only someone who has dated a sociopath can understand. I feel for the kids, too. Specially the young boy that will learn how to be exaclty like his father or to be afraid of him.
yes i completely agree. thats how i read it too
Yes!!!
She very well could have just been a cheater. I don't want to give her an excuse for her poor behavior. That being said you're right the dudes psycho and those kids need help along with the ex she's frankly in a great deal of danger.
The last story: The husband really put his ego over his kids well being. It's not ok to cheat but being cheated on doesn't give you the right to manipulate your whole family and everyone around you. He plotted every step and acted like nothing was wrong for weeks. He is a crystal clear psychopath. He is willing to destroy the bond between the kids and the mother just bc his ego got hurt. And the bragging afterwards...Disgusting. Repairing his ego by getting revenge was the only thing he had in mind. No matter his kids feelings. Disturbing.
I think he took it too far. I am disgusted.
Yeah. I was all for him, until he emotionally manipulated his kids. Even "playing" the wife up to thst point I could see, since sometimes surviving and not being taken advantage of are kinda ugly. But continuing to play her, stringing her along, the manipulation of the kids, and the getting sex from her whenever he wants because she's still desperate for that "second chance".... holy hell.
I hope she can recover, grow, learn. I hope their kids can somehow come out healthy, probably after much of their OWN therapy.
All of that, kinda makes me wonder what HER side of it all would be. I'm not saying what she did is excusable - absolutely not! Sometimes, though, reasons can help something be FORGIVABLE. 😢😢😢
Yeah, that story really left me feeling gross. I understand his pain and some of what he did I agree with...but the manipulation, specifically of his kids...he lost me there.
Ok the cheating wife...I was so onboard with all of it until the kids. Using the kids isn't in the same realm of petty. That's too close to emotional abuse for me. I'm a firm believer that kids shouldn't necessarily be sheltered from the truth. It happens in their life too. I feel for their kids. Something similar happened with a close friend of mine and it was handled poorly. Needles to say it's been over 10 years the kids involved are still holding on the animosity that has become hate. Deep rooted hate of their father. Sad part is he has turned his life around in these 10 years. He's actually become a really great loving man that still tries to salvage the relationship with his kids.
I think if he had told the kids that th enun is aweful it woild be different. All he did was tell then the truth but was still nice about her saying it had been a mistake. I don't think that's a issue.
@@nehamaw he hid it and left bread crumbs for the kids to find so they would ask and he could say he wasn’t the one that “told them”
He was only saying nice things about their mum so that he would get what he wanted. He played the kids so they would want to stay with him.
He would have just set down and explained why the divorce was happening but then that wouldn’t be petty enough by the sounds of it for him.
The festival thing in the longer video he says the festival didn't had a permit and it was disturbing the environment, it's a protected area or something and they couldn't make noise after a especific time. He went to talk to them and got mistreated so he waited for that time and shut everything down.
Loved the last story until we found out how he used his daughter like that. That was absolutely disgusting to use your kid like that knowing they would be heartbroken. Everything else was great though
For that last one, I have to wonder if he actually wanted custody of the kids, or if it was all part of the revenge scheme. Honestly, based on the info we have, I don't think he's any better than the cheating wife. He didn't have to turn the kids against their mom. That was cruel. She's a cheater and he's a manipulator. They're as bad as each other, and I hate it when kids get dragged along.
That dude is a 100% KING!!!
Holy that last story…. This guy knows how F someone up in the worst way when he’s done wrong. I’m happy for him. He’s stealthy.
The last story... that guy had such a master plan... it makes you wonder. If he was that manipulative with his kids, what else was that relationship like? I don't condone cheating but I also don't condone using your kids like pawns to win a game of crazy chess.
Exactly, and considering how he legit is bragging about this he truly thinks he was not only justified but right to do it....makes you wonder what he left out that he wasn't as proud of.
My only beef with that last story is the guy’s blatant manipulation and emotional scarring of his kids, specifically the daughter. Leaving those searches up and articles printed were not accidental and to say they were is the most Machiavellian thing in that post. If you want the kid/kids to know, sit down and talk to them about and answer her/their questions. What they are about to go through is bad enough without dad manipulating them. He was legit the victim so there was no need to play games about it with his daughter. I don’t care who does it or for what purpose it is done, using your kids like that is morally reprehensible, irresponsible, and abusive.
Here; take this soapbox back. I’m down off of it.
Exactly 100%
yes that was the part that really bothered me. I mean there was no lies told, everything was true and he was right. But its the way it was presented to the kids. The daughter was a teenager who could have easily understood the FB conversations from her mom, she didn't even need to see it just a word from dad.
Yes and now he is treating women like toys he gets to play with because he will never be serious about another relationship again. That’s not fair to those women who are maybe looking for a serious relationship and fall into his jerk trap
He is in a very difficult spot. He cannot speak ill of his ex in front of his children. Leaving his articles out for the daughter to discover was a method of opening the conversation without blatantly "tattling" on the ex. Hiding the truth is not the answer. His ex wasn't about to talk to her about it. (she should)
I'm glad someone else was as bothered about it as I was. Especially since the posted already citied the rocky relationship the mother and daughter already had. He went from being a sympathetic victim to a bit of a bastard by the time I was done listening. It felt like he just wanted one last dig at the ex and picked the cruelest thing to do. Wonder what his therapist would think of it?
Ahhh perfect end to the day! Thankyou Charlotte for still giving us videos over Christmas xx
Dude the guy at the end played the long game for real!!!
That last one I literally just dropped my phone on the bed and just clapped. Well thank played my guy.
ok with that last story, I was with the husband until the very end when he "accidentally" left searches on the computer about his wife cheating and the daughter found them, the kids should've been left out of this entirely, also him using his ex wife for sex by dangling the possibility of getting back together, yeah he went from being a sympathetic husband to a dog at the end, not excusing the wifes cheating, but they both sound like crappy people, the poor kids, they're really the ones who will suffer
So wait, she gets to destroy the family with her infidelity, but the kids should never find out because why? When it's parental alienation against a father people don't usually have anything to say.
@@lamario i think the kids should be left out of it, but he intentionally made sure they did find out. like i said in the story both parents suck and unfortunately the kids are the ones who suffer
I was fine with the last one... until he purposefully involved their daughter like that. By all f*cking means, be petty af to the woman who cheated, but you NEVER use you kids against them like that, EVER. That is, to me, disgusting. The kids were going to have a rough enough time with the divorce with the normal reasons given, but the fact he used his daughter like that is gross. She was old enough for him to be honest with her and not leave 'clues' for her to find. Using your kids like that for anything is disgusting behavior.
(Edited for spelling/grammar errors)
Exactly 💯
Yeah. The wife was a POS but him doing that to his daughter felt like he cared more about using her then thinking about how alienating his kids from their mother would effect them long term. Seemed kind of selfish
@@ameliaburke3241 sounds like they were both equally pos and actually deserved each other.
The fact that he uses his children to get revenge makes him an awful father in my opinion
And then has sex with someone he knows wants him back but he has no intention of getting back with, sick! Psychotic !!
Absolutely! One parent pitting their children against the other for just pettiness is SO MANY levels of wrong. The damage done to the children mentally and emotionally is going to stick for the rest of their lives.
Good example of how to keep your head about you and not get carried away by emotions.
That last dude was SAVAGE!!! I love it!! lol
Oh. My. God! That last story had me hooked from start to finish. My dude was playing 3D chess. He seriously needs to teach a course on "how to win everything in a divorce!"
I fell like the last one wasn't about just cheating. I'm sympathetic about whole situation but making children your pawns and use them as leverage... Gives strong psycho energy
Ok, honestly, the last one I started out so sympathetic to the guy, so mad at his cheating wife, but by the end...? Holy shit. That went past justice, past petty revenge, straight into Machiavellian cruelty. He didn't seem to have any particular concern for the damage he was doing to his children, either. And emotionally manipulating his ex (by dangling the possibility of getting her kids back, not just him) into being willing to have sex with him whenever he wants...? "Cultivating" friends-with-benefits with other people...? That is a troubling choice of words, considering the extremely manipulative way he is behaving in the rest of this. There is something wrong with this dude. I don't trust the way he is portraying the situation. Sounds like he might have sociopathic tendencies.
His choice of words is disturbing.
@@fireflybuzzings The whole "normal" and "typical" phrases struck me odd early on.
It's a redditor, so it could have very well all have been a self-masturbatory tall tale.
I don't think he manipulated the kids, he just showed the girl the truth. And for the wife, she deserves it for what she did to him. It may be easy to glosse over but lady may have caused him depression and PTSD. I am 100% happy for the dude who hadeled this like a boss.
@Noah Rouchouse He did manipulate the kids, he hid clues for them to find out, so he could play the victim. He could have told them straight or he could have kept it for himself, so he wouldn't hurt the children's image of their mother (which is very important for a teenager's developing self).
I get mad narcissist vibes from the guy who claims to have just worshiped his wife while she was talking to another guy and bashing him. That actually was revolting to read. He did not do all of that. 1000% Now I have finished it, dude is psychotic and none of that happened.
Yeah. Revolting is too right. Also the fact he says he was being ultra nice when he suspected his wife was cheating is the reddest flag too. He stepped up his game as a husband part of a sting operation? To prove a point? Definitely more here that he portrayed. Not the nice guy he's determined everyone see him as. I'm sad for his kids when they realise they were his pawns
@@phoebea.6378 Agreed. Why is it only after he found out about the cheating that he even went out of his way to spend time with his wife? Wife obviously horrible for cheating, but I can't help that there's so much that he neglected to mention in the story. Would love to hear what the wife has to say also. Towards the end the story just sounded like a selfish, manipulative power trip.
The last guy is a genius.. if he's not a lawyer, he should be 😂
Dude was savage. I love it. Wow. Well planned out.
The second story, stealing her travel bags. That's not petty, guy, that's theft and you left a note which is evidence. You are lucky you weren't arrested.
I'm conflicted on the last one. Sure the ex-wife screwed up big time and the consequences of her decision to cheat is pretty much welcome, however, treating her like a call girl and the way the husband manipulated the children into showing why they divorced and inevitably choosing him doesn't really sit right with me. Dangling a false hope, manipulation and even bragging about it really makes me question the husband's character. I hope the children are mentally, physically and emotionally well.
yeah and the kids probably also know about that fake sgreement, that maybe their parents will get back together one day... Giving them false hopes that they will be family again like before, it's disgusting...
Yeah. Like, if he had a frank discussion with them (or at least the older one) about what happened, fair. But lying to and manipulating the daughter? Lying to the ex for sex? That's messed up.
Literally so messed up, wish we could hear the wife’s side of the story, maybe he deserved to be cheated on.
@@littlefox3128 I was gonna say nobody deserves to be cheated on, but well, we've all seen the examples on this channel 😅😅
Agree with all of this except that the wife is also a little dumb to let him string her along like this. Manipulating someone to get sex is horrid behavior, but if the sex is good then good for her, if it isn't, then she needs to check her values again and maybe she should try and find another partner who isn't married, idk
I read that last story on Reddit a few months ago and I was shocked, I could never do what he was able to do.
Good
The last one - well played sir! Well played!
The last guy is pure evil. His pride got hurt and he burned everything in his way. The kids deserve to know. Cheating is one thing, but what he did was 5000 times worse. God only knows what kind of husband he was to her. Was probably manipulating her all throughout their marriage. Hope she finds his juicy confession and all is brought to light. He's a pos imo. The methodical way he exacted his revenge spells sociopath to me. Hope those children are ok. And hope they find out one day and stay as far tf away from him as possible.
No sympathy for him.
Hey! That's the first time I've heard the audio from the guy at the festival! Thanks Charlotte 💜
He actually said in the end "F***! Let's watch further", and not what Charlotte saidXD
That last one, makes you wonder if she is better off without him
Both of them better off without each other 😵💫
All "fair enough" until he involved the kids, then just no. He sounds like a real piece of work. Probably a control freak sociopath, with how he uses other women now too. "Cultivate friends with benefits"? seriously nasty. Manipulative. Does he even care about his own kids? Highly doubtful; they're his meal ticket to not having to work full time. He even boasts about how he's conned his children into thinking he's the best dad ever.
She awoke a supervillain with her cheating and disrespect.
@@JY-vh3be I don't think she is a great person for having an affair, and I don't condone it, but for a man to manipulate his own children to hate their mother and to do everything else he did takes a certain type of evil that existed there already.
@@Kayenne54 exactly
My husband got me petty merch for Christmas! I hope Christmas with Mike went well! ❤
He's a keeper!
The last guy must have had a dang good lawyer who told him exactly how to get everything he wanted legally and ethically!
referring to the last story
"THATS WHY HES THE GOAT...THE GOOOOAT!!!!!
I was with that last guy, right up until he ambushed his children. As Charlotte read the part about dear ol' loving dad, deliberately setting it up to shatter his children and possibly destroy any chance of those kids ever having a good relationship with their mother, I kept exclaiming, "That Bastard!". At no time did he say she was a bad mother, just a bad wife. He should have made an over the phone appointment to speak to a therapist about what/when/if they tell the children. He wanted revenge so much that he used his own children as cannon fodder. Everyone in this family needs therapy, both individually and together. Explain that they're just people, and sometimes people make mistakes. And be sure to tell them that there is no part of this shit-show that they are responsible for. Stress this is 100% the parent's fault.
I'm aware that I switched tenses here and there, what can I say, it's Boxing Day, and I'm half asleep thanks to my turkey sandwich.
His wife probably cheated because he's a sociopathic narcissist . His children & their need for a relationship with their Mom , were just collateral damage to him.
Absolutely wholeheartedly agree with you on this. I think he got his revenge in that hotel, the rest of it is just really messed up! Is he going to punish her for as long as they live? It's extremely unhealthy, for him too, as he isn't moving on in an appropriate way. The way he used the children is very upsetting. He is also giving them false hope of maybe having their family back together. He actually ends up sucking more than she did.
In my opinion he is worse than her. I was completely on his side until "oh honey you were not supposed to find those". I bet there is more to this story than he is telling. Anyone that would purposely cause pain to their child just to get back at someone and then brag about it is not a great parent or person.
Kids deserve to know what happened. If she didn't want to be shamed for ruining their family.... she shouldn't have ruined her family.
And then he says he dangles getting back together with her for sex. She cheated but he is really doing too much.
@@tiffakang4525 tru tru I agree, is it overkill? Yessss, but is it somewhat justified? YESSSS, like, if you didn't want this stuff to happen, don't cheat, if the sparks are fading, talk it out, separate properly, or try to reignite, I don't care, just have the decency to communicate, if you don't, than reap the consequence and ultimately that consequence ended up being her marriage, house and the kids opinions of her. Too bad so sad, maybe do better next time.
To be honest it's very likely they would have eventually found out and it would have been super messy when they did, they probably would have been mad they'd been lied to for so long, personally that's something I'd want, no, need to know, myself. Is it overkill tho? Hell yea but this is a vid about people doing petty crap that's obviously overkill, dude's admitting this cus he knows it's probably a bit wronggg, but is it petty revenge? Very much so.
It was totally petty tho, and very manipulative.
Edit: urrggh I didn't realise he used the potential of getting back together for (bedroom activities) okay not cool dude. That's not even petty at that point it's edging on sleezy
@@tiffakang4525 you’re right, kids do deserve to know. But not in the way he did it. He could have sat the kids down and explained.
Totally agree, and the manipulation that follow afterwards is just awful, people cheat and make mistakes but two wrongs don’t make a right, I come from a split family and I would hate my dad if this was him, I would also hate my mum for cheating and being so sly, but honestly the dad sounds just as bad, like letting your kids find that and upsetting them on purpose is just… wrong, and then to actually be proud of yourself for demonising the other parent in your kids eyes, wow I mean talk about selfish. It’s not good for the kids and could really mess them up. Even in foster families where kids are coming from parents that have neglected them because of drugs etc we never demonise or slate the parent, it so damaging. Only if the parent is an abuser is this acceptable.
I would have been 100% behind that last one until he dragged their kids into it. Dude used his kids as pawns in his revenge. Not cool. He better hope they never figure out this is him and that they were used.
Well they likely will find out so I hope he has a therapy fund...... :/
Kinda makes you wonder what else was going on in the relationship if he was more than willing to manipulate his kids that way
@@jessicaferguson4518 Agreed. I wouldn't dare justify infidelity, but his willingness to use his own children as revenge destroyed any support for him I was having while listening to this, and made me question his overall personality.
He also admitted to coercing a woman into sleeping with him by emotional manipulation, that's messed up. That "whenever I want" line gave me the chills 😨
@@WaryJester Yeah, that was really freaking creepy too. I don't think dude is a very good guy to begin with.
As a parent, leaving that out for your kids to find was disgusting. My ex did terrible things to me and I never brought that up to my oldest (the child we share). Putting that pain on your kids for your own gain is horrible.
I agree. Never use your children to get back at your spouse, that is truly disgusting! I can't imagine how much pain that put the children through!
That last one was chef's kiss.
The last guy is truly a pos, lol. That's not petty... that's apathetic. That's revenge to a sociopathic degree.
It's called nuclear revenge. Sociopathic? no. he clearly had emotions and he did clearly care. He just went beyond feeling them and looked out for himself and his kids.
@@OddBallPerformancenahhhh he is a sociopath 😂
@@TheOMGRamensome people do f-d up shit expecting no one is going to do anything about it
Then one day they f up a wrong person, that is even crazier than them, and get f-d up by them
He's definitely a douche,but she's not the saint either
I was all in with the last guy who had been cheated on... UNTIL he drug his innocent children into his petty revenge. There is absolutely ZERO reason for him to involve the kids just to ruin their relationship with their mother. She absolutely messed up. But to hurt the kids to hurt her? Nah. That is absolutely gross. And one day when those kids are older and figure out what he did just to hurt their mother he will see what it feels like when your kids turn against you. But HE did thia to himself
I would say what she did was far worse. She's not the victim. She deserves the consequences
That guy was all good until he told the kids. That was a poor plan. If your child asks, don’t lie. But don’t ‘leave the browser open’. That punishes the child as much as it punishes the ex.
Wow! That last guy was playing the long game. Good for him
I love how that guy played the long game!!! Well done
The last one went a little too far. He should've stopped after the hotel. This level of manipulation (especially of his own kids) makes me really uncomfortable.
Agreed.
Like other people, I was with the last guy until he "accidentally" left articles for his daughter to find. Another way of putting it is that he deliberately caused trauma to his daughter.
He and his ex had "the talk" with them, she was coming over 3x a week to cook, clean, and spend time with their kids, and he destroys their relationship. He even says he "plays the victim" during counseling sessions.
The ex never should have cheated, but by his own account, she was putting in 100% effort to work through her issues and be a better person. He, on the other hand, sounds like he should have taken the counseling seriously, as he now seems bitter and malicious.
And when you consider these are things he brags about....makes you wonder what he has left out, because he thinks it might not be applauded, when he thinks those actions were good ones.
I wonder if he will still be crowing, when his children realize that, with “Daddy”, there are no such things as “accidents”. You know, like when his daughter dates someone he disapproves of, and suddenly a bunch of dirt just magically appears, to discredit that person. This guy is a stone cold narcissist.
Agreed. Ex-wife is genuinely trying to make an effort to create a stable family environment for the kids and he's actively trying to ruin it. Obviously, this could have been avoided without the cheating. But it seems like she's trying her best and for him to continue to manipulate her and the kids is cruel and doesn't make him the better person at all.
It reads like he should have been made fun of for some of the shit he was up to pre-cheating. And because it was true he decided to go scorched earth and detonate a nuclear bomb in his own family. All those hoes he's porking will create his consequences.
@@Tyveksuit My mom would leave letters up to my dad on "blank" word documents in white ink. I only discovered it when going to shut off the computer and noticing the prompt "do you want to save your work?" on a document that appeared to have no words.
Long, weepy prose about how she can't do this anymore. He's mean and absent and unsupportive and blah blah blah. It had strong basis in truth: He was vindictively mean, toxic-traditional, and absent. But there's a shred of him that did seem to care. I miss that, and strangely although my mother was abundantly present I do not miss her. I often wonder if he just gave up over time and became corrosive the more my mom manipulated things. Especially as my mom "poked holes" to have more kids when he said he was done at 2, then at 3, and then he was fully burnt out as 4 and 5 came along.
As for my mother, I believe she's more than capable of such bullshit. First off, it's teenaged behavior. My mom was an extreme night owl and my dad was a military early bird, but there's other ways to do that especially after the iphone became available and she did this well after both my parents got iphones.
She is a narcissist who fabricated her own version of reality that we all had to participate in or face constant mental fatigue and trauma. There are certain things she's said to us that have made every person I've told exclaim "HOLY SHIT" verbatim whether they were agnostic or a weekly-Sunday Baptist. And for that I've disowned them both. There are many things she's done that have destroyed me mentally and emotionally. I'm almost disabled, my mental health is so bad, and that's her. My dad too, but it didn't take me too long after 18yo to see the balance.
All that to say... his kids will work it out. If he actually gives a shit about his children, THAT will hurt. He might be too narcissistic to ever admit that he caused that, he might just blame it on his wife and on them eventually, but like my mother he'll have to live with their absence/contempt. He doesn't have to "get it." He just won't get to meet his first grandkid before his wife does. And that'll fucking sting. I look forward to that for him.
My ex refused to leave our shared bed until the divorce papers arrived in the mail, so I bought a bedroom set from the furniture store we'd previously only dreamed of being able to afford. I moved into the office and started dating a coworker who's six inches taller than him. I had to pay him to keep the house, but he filed bankruptcy and his new wife left him within 5 years of our divorce. 💅🏾
That guy should get the life time achievement award for how guys get divorced on their terms not hers… he gets my atta boi of the decade. lol…😂thanks Charlotte. Happy Holidays 🎄
Absolutely love what that father did. The Part Time working thing was genius 🤗
I was totally sympathetic to the guy in the last one until he decided to manipulate his kids into thinking that his mother did some horrible thing just to get them to stay with him. I understand that having your partner cheat on you, especially when you're committed and trying to make it work, is horrible BUT I absolutely hate that he brought his kids into this for his own gain..
the way he said how he was a saint in his kids eyes, dangling a carrot in front of his ex-partner, getting her to do stuff and still getting away with having fun after all that, my dude, you have some serious manipulation and narcissistic tendencies... makes me wonder if that was one of the contributors for his marriage failing off in the first place. Either ways, not cool at all.
Exactly. And considering this is stuff he is legit bragging about...what has he left out because he wasn't proud of it.
Also makes you wonder how many of those messages saying bad stuff about him were actually true...
yeah and imagine their children wishes their parents would get back together and everything would be as before...
I agree with the sentiment, but I will point out that their mother DID do " some horrible thing". There was no deceit in what he implied she did, only in how he communicated it to them.
Gotta say I was with that father in the last story until he left the infidelity articles around for the kids to find. No matter what happens, don’t involve your kids in your mess.
im sorry but children deserve to know when their mom is a peice of crap.. especially since that cheater sounds like the type that would try to spin the story on him. if he didnt have the leverage, she probably wouldve tried to say he cheated.
True
I agree and disagree. Children shouldn't be weaponized at all, but since divorce laws typically favor women more even with ironclad papers, I understand why Dad did what he did. I will add that he should drive the point to his kids that just because you're mom doesn't love me, doesn't mean she doesn't love you. Often times, and it's really unfair, it's equated that an unfaithful spouse is a bad parent; those two things aren't inclusive each other.
@@AlchemistConfections an unfaithfal spouse is a bad parent. YOU made the decision to cheat on the person you created the child with. YOU made the family problems. YOU are the bad parent, person, and daughter/son. a cheater is a disgrace on everyone, especially their children......
Kids aren’t effing revenge.
Not excusing the affair, but I can possibly see why she checked out emotionally. Dude clearly has no limits when it comes to getting what he wants.
I’m proud of this comment section’s interpretation of the last one.
Don’t involve the kids like that.
The last guy is awesome XD Now this is revenge. she betrayed her family, she betrayed her children.
Wowzers! That was well thought up! Good on him.
