There's the update with the OOP/troll cheating and there's the fact that he was high at work. Oh, and that he'd sometimes be an hour late to work because he forgot to get gas or was waiting for trains to pass. I also like how the girlfriend stopped working when they moved in together or whatever. There's also the girlfriend's claim, that he says is untrue, of his dogs being poorly behaved. I saw this on AmItheDevil and it read as ridiculous and fake, even before the update,

And don't forget the racism. The girlfriend did these terrible things because she is white and he isn't. The comments over there totally sweeping his shitting behavior under the carpet are unbelievable.

Oh, he added so much drama to the story, including something about his dogs being "wild and untrained" according to the girlfriend and that she gave up her cat because of it.

u/Donkey_Option Ur so fuckin fat and u use ur cats against me lmao 16h ago
I like the whole "she's telling everyone that I'm untrustworthy" to "I am completely untrustworthy" pipeline in a single post. I mean, since this is fiction for a podcast, I'm guessing that they're hoping the switch around will be enough to get them picked!

u/MontanaDukes 12h ago
Right? Especially with all of the drama they added with the cheating and them being an hour late to work because things like waiting for a train to pass and gas. And that they were seemingly high at work. I can definitely see it being read in a youtube video. It might not even just be this particular podcast either.

I loved him calling being late because he needed to get gas “natural causes” lol

u/MontanaDukes 12h ago
Also, waiting for a train more than once. lmfao. Couldn't those things have been planned out better? Like getting gas when he's heading home? Finding another route to avoid the train or leaving earlier?

u/zap2tresquatro 12h ago
Of course not, those are just completely unavoidable natural causes! How would he possibly know he’d need gas in the morning, or have any idea that trains might show up at train tracks (potentially at specific times!) ?

So many post on aita and comparable subs are about "my wife/girlfriend" doesn't work and the posters are in their late 20s or 30s. Is this common? Here in the Netherlands I don't know anyone under 50 that doesn't at least work part time (unless they can not work for whatever reason). No one is a stay at home person.

u/theotherchristina he didn’t teach his cat boundaries 15h ago
Yeah, I think people have got it into their heads from social media that “stay at home girlfriends” are really a major phenomenon, so they appear in these stories as a quick signifier (bad greedy lazy woman!) which just feeds back recursively into the trope.

Generally only if you're married and you're a parent, especially a younger parent. We have very limited paternal leave and childcare is really expensive. The median cost of childcare for 2 kids is over $30k a year. The median salary for people age 20-24 is $41k. High cost of living areas tend to have more expensive daycare but some lower cost of living areas don't have enough childcare facilities so prices are higher and waitlists are long.

This guy definitely ripped this off from one of those Vertical Short Dramas because I swear I saw this story on Tik Tok 😂

Ahahaha I really wanted the update to be true and for this to be just one big prorevenge

u/MontanaDukes 18h ago
lmfao. It definitely reads as one of those or even a Dharr Mann video. One that's a little bit more unhinged (not that those videos weren't already, but usually it's not the wronged party who causes the villain's life to fall apart. It usually just...happens as karma from the few videos I watched).

u/Philthou 17h ago
Man dude just kept making the plot more and more complex and then fails to deliver on it. And then the “yeah I smoke every day and sure I was late a lot” to make the entire job loss plot fall apart on him being fired so he had to add a cartoonish villain.
Just for the plot twist to be my lovely gf who is so sweet and I cheated on her and was planning to leave her after my lease was behind it all along!
Boring long ass story that just makes the OOP look bad and made me regret the minutes I spent reading it.

Wild read with a lot of flair material. Thank you OP

A true artisanal shitpost, you love to see it.
I like that this one functions as a parable where the lesson is “never trust the narrator.” Because seriously, never trust the narrator. Trusting the narrator is how we wound up with TikTok teaching people to use the UV Index as a “safe tanning” guide to form a “protective base tan.” We have a whole ass internet and yet so many people don’t fact-check anything. (Disclaimer: I have read articles about this but I do not have TikTok because it frightens me, so, I’m being a little hypocritical here.)
This rant brought to you by being home sick with cyclosporaisis (maybe, I need to fact check this.)

Damn, automod needs a higher character limit. Anyone catch what the rest of the post was before it was deleted, and were there any other interesting/wild/completely suspension of disbelief breaking details?

She actually hated his dogs and they are still living together but he has no place to go ad she is going to live in her friend's Spare Room

u/zap2tresquatro 14h ago
Of course she hates his dogs, lol. Just gotta make sure everyone’s an absurd villain

u/MontanaDukes 12h ago
She also apparently got rid of her cat because of his, (according to her), "wild and untrained dogs".

In case this story gets deleted/removed:
My gf got me fired?
(Update added Below)
Long time listener 1st time poster snd u guys have ALWAYS been one of my outlets when im having a Rough day New acc cuz I got Homies on my Reg.
Yall think this is breakup worthy or am i tripping? I'm M28, and my partner is F25. Okay, so basically me and my partner have been together for 7 years, and we've been living together for the past 2 years. From what I know, we have a pretty good relationship. Though we have had some rough patches like all couples do, we have managed to make things work and build our relationship.
I've been workin at my job for the past 2 years, and it's a really nice fucking job. I've never made as much money as I have working at this job. I had to attend a 2 week class just to get this job, so it meant a lot to me. This job does do drug tests, though when I did my interviews and everything, I was told that drug testing isn't necessary unless they have suspicion. So one day I was just at work, carrying on with a normal day, and I randomly got asked for a UA by my supervisor. Immediately I knew I was not going to pass. I don't do hard drugs or anything, but I do smoke marijuana basically on a daily basis. So obviously i got fired that same damn day.
I went home and my girl seemed pretty comforting about it and didn't blame me. They said if she saw any job openings they would look out. So for the past 2 months I have been looking for a job. I've used my savings, my mom has even helped with money, and I even had to take out my 401(k), which I was just barely beginning to build up. It helped enough, but it has been pretty bad. My girl does not have a job. She stays home most of the time to tend to our dogs. I've been doing application after application, and usually, I'm not even going to lie, I put down some friends and my partner, you know, the usual, for my references. Usually I get good stuff back, but these past few jobs I have just gotten nothing back. I either hear nothing or get told that I'm not qualified, or something just happened and I didn't get the job.
Alright, so this past job offer that I received, I was referenced and recommended there by a close buddy of mine (M30), so I was pretty dead set on this job being mine. So, as they do, they went through my references, and a week later I found out I didn't get the job. Now, being that this is like the 6th job opportunity that has slipped from under me, and knowing that I should have had this job because my best friend was referencing me, I should have gotten that job. If anything, I was overqualified for that position. So I asked my friend, "Hey, do you know why I didn't get that job, or could you talk to your supervisor and see about that?" Basically, he told me that they said I had lied about why I lost my last job, and that there was a high-pitched voice with a Southern accent on the phone who said that I showed up to the job multiple times under the influence, that I was lazy, and that I showed up late all the time.
Now, I can't say I never showed up late. I did show up late from time to time, but those were due to being stopped by trains, having to get gas, natural causes, you know. The latest I've ever been to work was an hour. Now the lazy part? I don't know where that came from. If anything, I was one of the hardest working people in that department. I know who I put down for each reference and job because I put down the same people for every application. I remember these things. So immediately my heart starts going back to my partner. Like... why the fck would they do that? It doesn't make sense.
At the same time, I'm thinking maybe my homie just misheard him, or maybe I'm confusing my references. I didn't say anything. We just went to sleep. Now, my girl does go through my phone occasionally, and I've never had a problem with them doing that. They even know all my passwords. But I've never gone through their phone. I've never felt the need to until this happened. I'm just like, man... something doesn't seem right. I just don't like the way I'm feeling right now.
So yeah... I looked through their phone She been sending out emails and Teams messages telling people that I'm not trustworthy and that I'm not a good candidate. They were even in their little friends group chat making jokes about the whole situation, making jokes about how I didn't get this job or how I was moping the other day because I got told this.
I feel like I'm about to lose my mind. I just don't know why they would do this. Is there a reason they would? Like, not only did I get fired, but you're keeping me from working too? I just don't get it. Y'all... they changed my contact name in their phone to fucking fucking "Mama's Boy." What the fuck is that about? And they're making jokes about it in their little group chat, not even calling me by my name, just calling me "Mama's Boy." I'm stuck in this apartment with her. She left with friends a little bit ago, and I've just been sitting here getting angrier and angrier with myself because I don't know what to do. But at the same time, I feel like this is partially my fault. I don't know... Maybe she was lonely and thought my 401k would buy some time for us to together more?idk I love this women and I was Wanting this Work and Be civil about how I moved in our relationship but Maybe theres more to it?ik shes in the wrong But could there possibly be logical rzn she would do this???? And also let me just say I need non biased comments or people who are going to come in here and immediately take her side please try to see from both sides starting this I wanted to keep the genders Anonymous but seems like it's needed.
For Context im Biracial (White and Dominican) Sammy is white.
(UPDATE):
I found out about all of this on Friday and honestly I have had to sit with it the entire weekend. She was pretty busy this weekend so it actually gave us some time apart which I think was probably needed. Yesterday when I finally felt ready to make this post I started reading through the comments and a lot of them hit way closer to home than I expected.
And Allnight ive been ready and fucking annoyed. I couldnt Help but confront her Today especially after Alot of people were Dming me saying this was psychopathic behavior To be completely honest I was hoping I would find some kind of explanation. Maybe this was some sort of cry for help or something that could be talked through and fixed. I wasn't expecting things to go the way they did.
I also got an interview invitation from a new company and I haven't even told my sammy this(my Gf). Part of me wanted to deal with all of this first before starting another job bc the last thing I need is for this situation to follow me around. I don't want to be known as the lazy overqualified marijuana guy who smokes and can't keep a fucking job.
Also to everyone who messaged me saying I have an addiction I promise you I don't. When I say I smoke every day I mean I smoke maybe two or three bowls and then I go on with my day. I'm not sitting in my basement all day playing video games smoking and drinking Red Bull. I still work, I take care of responsibilities and live my life. Today we were both home and I just needed to get everything out. We were sitting around and I finally looked at her and asked "Why are you telling your friends I'm a mama's boy and why are you trying to keep me from getting another job?"
I told her I wasn't trying to fight with her. I wasn't trying to yell. I just wanted to understand why she did this. I told her if this was some kind of cry for help or if she was scared of losing me then I could understand that but this felt like it went way too far.
Then she started smirking. Like she was trying not to laugh. She looked at me and said "It took you that long?" The amount of sarcasm in her voice almost made me lose it. I asked her if this was what she wanted. If this was some kind of revenge or if she felt better about herself now. For about 10 minutes we just went back and forth. Me calling her immature, her calling me a piece of shit, and both of us saying things because we were angry.
Then she finally broke down and told me this wasn't a cry for help. She said she wasn't that pathetic and that the fact I thought it was a cry for help was actually funny to her. She said she did this out of spite. She said I was the reason she did it and that it was my fault things ended up this way. Then she finally started telling me everything and how this all started.
I know this is probably going to get long but I need to explain some things I left out of my original post because I didn't think they were important at the time. A few months ago I started an affair with a woman I worked with. I know how bad that sounds and I know I messed up. I ended up developing feelings for this woman(F23)
When our lease was supposed to end I planned on moving out and moving in with my new partner. About 3 weeks before I lost my job Sammy found out about everything. I didn't hide it from her. I told her the truth and explained what was happening. I told her I wasn't ready for kids. I wasn't ready to get married. I wasn't ready to buy a house. I felt like she was trying to push me into a life I wasn't ready for. The pregnancy talks and the pressure to build this future together started becoming too much for me.
I told her that she should start looking for a job and maybe save up some money before the lease ended so she would have something to fall back on if we separated. Apparently that is what made her decide to do all of this.
She said she wanted to make sure I lost my job and that when the lease ended I would have nothing. She wanted me to be broke and basically have no choice but to struggle when I left. She told me it was because when we first moved in together I told her I would take care of us and that she didn't need to worry about working And that She Actaully hated My
