@scalingstories: u/throwRAsettles I overheard my wife telling her friends that she almost ran away with her ex-boyfriend but turned him down to settle for stability with me, and now I don’t know if any of our love and marriage is real. Plus one update. 0:00 Original Post 3:42 Update (3 Days Later) #scalingstories #minecraftparkour #reddit #redditstories #redditreadings
One thing about Reddit commenters is that they are QUICK to pick divorce as an option…

Last commenter nailed it. Idk why you guys are defending the wife. While it might’ve been because her ex’s death resurfaced long gone feelings - you never say that while married to someone, let alone say you love. She half assed her apology

“Settled isn’t a dirty word” it sure as hell is. Never let someone “settle” for you.

I agree with commenter that said wife BSed her way through him confronting her.

Honestly I understand OP but at the same time this comment section is viewing this situation in a very immature way. I think she battled with her immature side that wants the risky guy and her mature self who wants stability and love that’ll stand the test of time. She had moment of weakness do I think she should’ve communicated that with her partner yes especially after his passing when everything resurfaced. But I don’t think she should’ve communicated be judged for being human. And there’s nothing wrong with a pros and cons list

She had a bag packed and said herself that she settled for him. I couldn’t imagine what hearing that from the person you love the most would do to you.

Yet ppl will still say “But she chose him so she actually loves him” Maybe ppl just want to be their partners first choice

Why do the comments give the wife so much grace 💀 She was already YEARS into the relationship with OP and the moment an ex calls she packs her bags? It doesn't matter that she didn't go through with it. She was so willing to throw it all away for someone who had already become a stranger?!

5 years minus 1 month is not really "recently" tho 🤨

"settled" means settled. saying you settled is one of the most hurtful things you can say. It means they're less than you or less than who you actually wanted. I can never imagine saying that about someone and I've had some rough relationships.

“Loyal to the marriage” and she literally had her bags packed… and allowed her ex to even be in contact in the first place that’s not loyalty 😭😭

Yes “settled for” is a dirty phrase 😭😭😭 that’s saying your partner was not your ideal choice and you reluctantly chose them

sweetmocca :
Why people are so angry? She chosed him. She commited to him. She is loyal to him. She loves him & not settling for unstability. Marriage is not all about love, its commitment & stability. You dont divorce because you dont feel sparks & bored with spouse.

I love when people act like her choosing you is supposed to be enough reassurance when it should have never even been a choice to begin with 😭

i think OP is extremely valid in his feelings, i’d die if i ever heard my SO say they settled for me

it’s great that they talked it out and dindt jump to divorce but like i think commenters are missing the point that a person she loved at one point died death causes so many mixed emotions

slightly.sad.tm :
The commenters clearly don’t know how to have adult conversations. They just want OP to keep being mad and leave his wife even though he’s clearly happy with the answer he got

“She gave you 9 years of a happy marriage” Bro she had her bags packed 5 years ago.
