He goes to carvana.com.

He ignores the doubters, enters

1:32
devil where OP's dog keeps attacking his
1:34
pregnant wife and OP picks the dog
1:36
over his wife. Our next Reddit post
1:38
comes from r slash am I the
1:40
butthole? Am I the butthole for not
1:42
getting rid of my dog when my
1:44
wife asked me to? I'm a 32 -year
1:46
-old man and my wife is 29.
1:48
I'm not saying my wife's concerns aren't
1:50
valid because they are. I'm simply not
1:52
willing to re -home my dog, a 3
1:55
-year -old healer. My mother -in -law gave us
1:57
the dog for free two and a
1:59
half years ago and its behaviors have
2:01
always been there. She gets into the
2:03
cat box constantly. She gets up
2:05
on our table when we aren't looking. She
2:07
growls at us for redirecting her every
2:09
single time. She absolutely has bitten
2:11
the back of my wife's leg when
2:14
my wife was vacuuming, or bitten
2:16
my wife's hand when my wife went
2:18
to take something away that she
2:20
wasn't supposed to have. So the
2:22
dog has bitten my wife twice over
2:24
the time that we've had her, and
2:26
both times they were barely hard enough
2:28
to draw blood. They just left scratches
2:30
that had tiny beads of blood. We
2:32
brought her to the vet, and we
2:34
were told that she has a hormonal
2:37
imbalance, most likely due to inbreeding. My
2:39
mother -in -law got her from a breeder in
2:41
Kentucky, so I guess it's possible. We
2:43
know nothing about the people, and we were
2:45
told that there were six male dogs
2:47
to two females. The dog was put on
2:49
meds, but it didn't help the issues.
2:52
More things are the fact that she runs
2:54
off and jumps out of her vehicle
2:56
when we aren't looking and takes off. She's
2:58
broken through many leads and harnesses, one
3:00
of them meant for large dogs over 80
3:02
pounds. She jumped out of our vehicle
3:04
when we stopped at a red light the
3:06
other day and took off down the
3:08
street. She chewed through her dog's seatbelt, and
3:10
we didn't realize it. It took us over
3:12
four hours to get her back in
3:14
the vehicle, and my wife missed her doctor's
3:16
appointment as a result. She's…
3:19
whoa, she's pregnant. Now,
3:21
these issues were brought up heavily lately
3:23
because my wife said, and I
3:25
quote, I outright refuse to continue dealing
3:27
with this when our baby arrives.
3:29
You have six months to find a
3:31
new trainer and correct her behavior
3:33
or the dog is gone. We've already
3:35
been through trainers, however, and even
3:37
the trainers have stated that this is
3:39
likely an imbalance of chemicals, not
3:41
behavioral. This was after two years. She
3:43
was just taken from the training
3:45
program four months ago. She can't be
3:47
heavily medicated due to other health -related
3:49
issues. But I'm also not willing to
3:51
just give up on my dog.
3:53
My wife, on the other hand, has
3:56
no qualms of rehoming her because
3:58
of her being bitten and her simply
4:00
being completely fed up with revolving her
4:02
life around a dog when she
4:04
has a baby on the way and
4:06
no energy. Missing her appointment and
4:08
chasing the dog around for four hours
4:10
truly made her resentful because it
4:12
was the gender ultrasound that she had
4:14
been looking forward to. I told
4:16
her I was not getting rid of
4:18
the dog and she immediately started
4:20
packing her stuff. She's currently with her
4:22
mother, and she texted me and
4:24
said that she will not be coming
4:27
home until the dog is gone.
4:29
I think it's just hormones, but my
4:31
friends have stated that I'm the
4:33
butthole because I'm essentially choosing an annoying
4:35
and aggressive dog over my wife,
4:37
an unborn child. I'm a dog lover.
4:39
I've had dogs my entire life.
4:41
I have a dog right now. I
4:43
cuddle with my dog every single
4:45
night. I think dogs are 10 out
4:47
of 10 animals. OP, you are
4:49
completely wrong here. This is not safe
4:51
for the wife. I don't know
4:53
what kind of bacteria is in a
4:55
dog's saliva, but I would not
4:58
want my pregnant wife getting bitten by
5:00
any animal. And then, inevitably, what
5:02
happens when it bites the baby?
5:04
I genuinely think that we're in
5:06
divorce territory here. The wife is
5:08
not mad enough about this. Our
5:11
next Reddit post comes from r
5:13
slash the other woman, which, as
5:15
you might imagine, is a subreddit
5:17
about mistresses. Today has been
5:19
the worst day of my life, and
5:21
I'm desperate for someone who's not gonna
5:23
judge me and make me feel even
5:25
worse. My married man's wife confronted me
5:28
at her job, like so unprofessional. She
5:30
found out about us two weeks ago,
5:32
but didn't know who I was. She
5:34
finally figured it out somehow and came
5:36
to talk. at work. I tried to
5:38
avoid her and said this is not
5:40
the time, and she says it shouldn't
5:42
have been the time for you to
5:44
eff my husband. And she just got
5:46
more upset and called me everything you
5:48
can think of in front of everyone.
5:50
I work in a hospital, so obviously
5:52
there were people around. She didn't yell,
5:54
but everyone could still hear her. My
5:56
married man was there and was trying
5:58
to keep things calm, but he ended
6:01
up following her out and they had
6:03
a blow up in the parking lot.
6:05
I asked to leave early and I've
6:07
been sitting in my car just crying. My
6:09
married man did reach out and say
6:11
that he's sorry and he'll come over
6:13
later to talk, and he wasn't able
6:16
to leave work so he's still up
6:18
there. I have no idea what's going
6:20
to happen. We all work in the
6:22
same hospital, but luckily, three different positions
6:24
with three different bosses. It's terrifying for
6:26
me, and I don't want to bump
6:28
into her or see her at all,
6:30
and I can't quit my job. I'm
6:32
so embarrassed and just downright humiliated. Everyone
6:34
was staring, and I don't know how
6:36
the F I'm going to be able
6:38
to come back to work tomorrow. I
6:40
have no idea what to do. Should
6:42
I go to her HR or mine?
6:45
Just leave it alone? I honestly don't
6:47
know what you have to do, and
6:49
I'm terrified of all this. How
6:51
can I face all these people?
6:53
Then, OP posted an update. So,
6:55
me and my affair partner have both
6:57
been asked to resign. I went to
7:00
the meeting the next day, and at
7:02
first they asked me to tell them
7:04
what happened, so I did. Then, all
7:06
the questions changed to the affair, and
7:08
they started asking if it started at
7:10
work, and if we ever met up
7:12
at work, and things like that. So,
7:14
I already kind of knew where it
7:16
was hitting. My affair partner told me
7:18
that his wife said that she was
7:20
going to give the hospital all the
7:22
information she had about the affair, the
7:24
messages, and stuff that she took pictures
7:27
of. Today, when I got in, they
7:29
called me back into the office and
7:31
they had three people in there, so
7:33
I knew that I was getting fired.
7:35
They had the policy that I signed
7:37
out on the desk and said that
7:39
basically my conduct is inappropriate and they
7:41
do not encourage workplace courtships. And I'm
7:43
basically being asked to put in my
7:45
resignation because it's against policy not to
7:47
let them know about dating a co
7:49
-worker. So basically, if I resign, then
7:51
I can leave to find a job
7:53
and they can be a limited reference.
7:56
If I don't resign, then they fire
7:58
me outright either way. I am honestly
8:00
relieved to be gone. Working the day
8:02
after was hard, and I could tell
8:04
people were gossiping about us in the
8:06
situation. I wouldn't have had the strength
8:08
to leave on my own, so I'm
8:10
okay with it, honestly. I already started
8:12
applying for another job. My affair partner
8:14
is confusing me, though. His wife has
8:16
served him divorce papers, and he had
8:18
a breakdown last night. He says that
8:20
he didn't think that she would leave
8:23
him without trying to work on things
8:25
first, that he's surprised she wants to
8:27
throw it all away like that so
8:29
quickly. His kids do not want to
8:31
talk to him right now, and his
8:33
family is in an uproar. We had
8:35
a fight, too, because why are you
8:37
telling me this? Like, how do you
8:39
think it makes me feel that you're
8:41
crying to me about your wife leaving
8:43
you? Before the fight, I asked him
8:45
if we could continue to see each
8:47
other, and he said yes. So, why
8:50
do you want her to forgive you
8:52
if you don't want to end things
8:54
with me? Like, she's not going to
8:56
let him have both, and he didn't
8:58
have anything to say. Honestly, OP and
9:00
the guy in this story sound perfect
9:02
for each other. I hope they have
9:04
a long, toxic life together. Also, sometimes
9:07
I'm just blown away by the
9:09
lack of self -awareness, how she can
9:11
screw a married co -worker. But then
9:13
when the wife comes in and says,
9:15
hey, don't screw my man, she
9:17
says, oh, so unprofessional. Let's have standards
9:19
here. Our next Reddit post is
9:21
from Throwaway. Sometime in February, I planted
9:24
a camera behind the keyboard in
9:26
the classroom where my professor lectured. Once
9:28
she typed in her login information, I
9:30
was able to view the video
9:32
and obtain her login information to use
9:35
for my own personal benefit. On
9:37
dozens of occasions, I logged on using
9:39
the professor's login information on school
9:41
computers and labs that have cameras, and
9:43
viewed exams, past labs, and even
9:45
changed my own grade in the course.
9:47
The first exam around late March,
9:49
I had seen the answer key prior
9:51
to taking the exam, and naturally
9:53
got a 100 % on the exam.
9:55
No suspicion was raised by the professor.
9:57
I continued to view answer keys
9:59
prior to the next exam, which was
10:01
taken in late April. My exams
10:03
were very identical to the answer keys.
10:05
I had noticed that the professor
10:07
changed her password after the second exam
10:10
when I went to log in
10:12
again, and so I put the camera
10:14
back in the same place as
10:16
the first time. However, this time, at
10:18
some point during the video, it
10:20
shows her looking directly at the camera,
10:22
implying that she did indeed see
10:24
it. In the beginning of May, about
10:26
a week after the second exam,
10:28
my professor came up to me after
10:30
class and asked for me to
10:32
come with her to the department chair's
10:34
office. When I sat down, the
10:36
department chair told me that there was
10:38
a strong suspicion of me cheating
10:40
on exams one and two, and asked
10:42
if there was anything I wanted
10:45
to tell them. I said, I admit,
10:47
I cheated on them. That's all
10:49
I said. I didn't admit how I
10:51
cheated. Afterwards, he asked me how
10:53
I cheated, to which I didn't respond.
10:55
They had me sign a form
10:57
essentially stating that I admitted to cheating
10:59
and that they were going to
11:01
pass along the information to the Academic
11:03
Affairs Committee for further investigation and
11:05
potentially further sanctions on top of an
11:07
F in the course. About a
11:09
week later, a police officer from the
11:11
university came to my apartment and
11:13
asked me to come with him. He
11:15
drove me to the campus police
11:17
station, where I was questioned about illegal
11:20
computer usage. An hour later, at
11:22
the academic affairs office, I was informed
11:24
verbally that I was going to
11:26
be expelled from the university. And a
11:28
day later, I received a letter
11:30
reiterating the fact that I'd been expelled.
11:32
The letter says that I will
11:34
not get a degree, cannot participate in
11:36
graduation, and cannot be readmitted
11:38
to the university, now or in the
11:40
future. I reached out to an attorney
11:42
yesterday and I'll be meeting with him
11:45
tomorrow. The university allows students to appeal
11:47
the decision within five days of receiving
11:49
the letter, which I'm doing. Essentially, the
11:51
appeal that I've written states that I
11:53
admit my actions were egregious and that
11:55
I felt so much pressure to pass
11:57
the course and felt awful when I
12:00
cheated, even before I got caught. I
12:02
said that I wanted to fess up
12:04
but didn't know how and that when
12:06
I was confronted, I didn't at all
12:08
try to justify my actions, hide them,
12:10
or lie. I came clean completely and
12:12
the burden was finally off. In my
12:15
appeal, I am respectfully asking for my
12:17
sanctions to be lessened to at most
12:19
suspension from the university so I can
12:21
still graduate, albeit not on time. I
12:23
have not yet sent the letter, as
12:25
I still have a few more days
12:28
to submit the appeal, and I am
12:30
waiting for my attorney to look at
12:32
the letter tomorrow and give me any
12:34
advice. The reason I got an attorney
12:36
was so I could either A. heavily
12:38
grovel. An attorney cannot be present during
12:40
the hearing. and the attorney would just
12:43
help me before I go in. Or
12:45
B, basically, sue the
12:47
school saying the sanctions are
12:49
too harsh. I will not be
12:51
denying my actions. The school
12:53
has sufficient proof that I use
12:55
the professor's login credentials for my
12:57
own benefit. I have to come
12:59
clean and just hope that the
13:01
school shows mercy. If the appeal
13:03
does not go well, I'll resort
13:06
to playing B, which is getting
13:08
the attorney directly involved. Any advice
13:10
on what I should say during
13:12
the hearing or anything else I
13:14
should do? Yo, if the professor
13:16
had caught you, I don't know,
13:18
peeking at your neighbor's answers or
13:20
sneaking in a little cheat sheet
13:22
that has formulas written on it,
13:24
then, okay, maybe you'd have a
13:26
case for avoiding expulsion, but hacking
13:29
into your professor's account and changing
13:31
your grades and spying on her
13:33
possibly illegally in the process? Nah,
13:35
man. I can't tell what's dumber.
13:37
the crime that OP committed here,
13:39
or paying an attorney expecting your
13:42
attorney to do anything. All the
13:44
attorney is doing is taking this
13:46
moron's money. That lawyer's just like,
13:48
yes, sir, I will happily bill
13:50
you 50 bucks an hour to
13:52
file some strongly worded letter that
13:54
they'll completely ignore because they have
13:56
every right to ignore. Also, OP
13:59
includes the appeal that he wrote,
14:01
so I'm gonna, it's kind of dry,
14:03
so I'm gonna get to the
14:05
juicy parts, let's see here. In lieu
14:07
of expulsion, I'm willing to take
14:09
a semester's suspension with the removal of
14:11
my F on my transcript. In
14:13
order to demonstrate recognition of my wrongdoing
14:15
and attempt to redeem myself from
14:17
my actions, I would be happy to
14:19
undergo any relevant community service or
14:21
academic sanctions. I wish to dedicate myself
14:23
to self -improvement through my pursuit of
14:25
knowledge, as well as learning from
14:27
my past mistakes. My egregious
14:30
actions this semester do not indicate
14:32
that I'm a bad student. In
14:34
a weak moment of desperation, I
14:36
made a terrible choice that I'll
14:38
regret forever. Despite my actions this
14:40
semester, I have shown profound academic
14:42
integrity throughout my collegiate career. I
14:44
appreciate you taking the time to
14:46
listen to me, and I hope
14:49
you'll give me a second chance.
14:51
Our next Reddit post comes from
14:53
rslashthepassportbros. If you're a woman, read
14:55
this. This post does not condone
14:57
any illegal activities. Hi, ladies. I'll
15:00
share one perspective that more or
15:02
less represents how most men on this
15:04
sub feel and why we're here.
15:06
I'm in my 30s. When I was
15:08
younger, I did okay in dating
15:10
prior to Tinder's debut. Fast forward to
15:12
2024, and I just finished with
15:14
the Marine Corps. I was, and still
15:17
am, in great shape. I'm tall.
15:19
got into bodybuilding, had a hair transplant,
15:21
under eye fillers, skin treatments, lasik,
15:23
and tripled my income. I went from
15:25
being a 5 to a solid
15:27
7 .5 on a scale from 1
15:29
to 10. I moved to Romania right
15:31
after the military, only to see
15:33
what it was like. Been here for
15:35
almost a year. I went to
15:37
the US to visit my family for
15:40
two weeks, and a girl I
15:42
was interested in said that she wouldn't
15:44
be able to meet me again
15:46
for almost a month because she was
15:48
too busy with work. So because
15:50
I'm not a 10, she literally didn't
15:52
care. And mind you, even though
15:54
she was pretty, she was quite heavy
15:56
for her height. And I would
15:58
not have been able to pick her
16:00
up physically. My message to you
16:03
is this. I shed blood, sweat, and
16:05
tears to become the man that
16:07
I am today. And there's no way
16:09
in hell I will ever go
16:11
back to dating in the US. I
16:13
get treated like a king in
16:15
Romania, and I'm appreciated here. With that
16:17
said, you do NOT have the
16:19
right to tell us how to conduct
16:21
ourselves overseas. What two consenting adults
16:23
do behind closed doors is none of
16:26
your business. Women in western countries
16:28
have no qualms about taking advantage of
16:30
men for their resources. At least
16:32
overseas, we're appreciated for it. For men
16:34
like myself who hop from bed
16:36
to bed, keep in mind we're a
16:38
small minority. There aren't nearly enough
16:40
men to ruin women. This is a
16:42
problem only in the West, because
16:44
Western women make almost as much money
16:46
as men do. Poor countries don't
16:49
have this issue, and women still pair
16:51
bond with locals due to financial
16:53
dependence. Lastly, there's no way on
16:55
God's green earth we're going to
16:57
let you infiltrate one of the only
16:59
men's spaces that we have left.
17:01
If we have to make another social
17:03
media platform to stop you, we
17:05
will. The clown show
17:07
ends here. Buddy, maybe the
17:10
problem with your dating in
17:12
America is the arrogance. He
17:14
can't go on a date with a girl
17:16
because she's busy with work and the dude
17:18
writes a manifesto. That was our slash am
17:20
I the devil. And if you like this
