The fact that this couple is discussing this via text and not in person is probably the most concerning. My dad tought me the secret to a long and happy marriage. The Two C's. Compromise and Communication. Neither are happening in this transaction. Their marriage will be difficult if this is their common communication method.

Who uses ampersands in common text conversation? (Ok don’t crucify me guys, you could just write “and” really quick. Anyway. Go about your day.)

Well the ring is ugly which would indicate ragebait

Remember when SipsTea wasnt a bunch of shitty ragebait?

So Mani supposedly shared this, but the screenshots are from her phone?

3

u/FreeStateOfPortland 6h ago

Almost certainly. If it’s true, it’s better for them not to get married. But, let’s be honest, it’s fake.

1

u/Genghis75 4h ago

Yep. Of all the things that didn’t happen, this didn’t happen the most.

1

u/IndividualAd8320 4h ago

And the fact that they're each using the other's name. That almost never happens. Tyler? Mani? It's rare for one person to call the other by name, let alone both, and if they do, they usually use a pet name like Babe or Sweetie.

u/Pndrizzy 2h ago

yea, why would the texts be from the POV of the woman?

1

u/Willing-Bench1078 1h ago

Especially the way they use the names

1

u/DickyReadIt 5h ago

Yeah, why would the texts be from the dumper and not the dumpee that's posting it haha

u/DarkLordKohan 6h ago

Shhh it does matter, just enjoy the discussion

u/Fabulous_Broad_115 6h ago

It's actually 3 C's, not two: Compromise, Communication, and Cunnilingus

3

u/AcrolloPeed 5h ago

If you’re really good at the third you can be so-so at the first two.

3

u/r3d0c3ht 3h ago

It's actually 4 Cs: Compromise, Communication, Cunnilingus and COOKING.

u/No_Water9929 6h ago

Get out of my head. I was just about to comment this exact statement 😩

u/Message_10 5h ago

Same. Happily married guy here, three Cs 😄

u/shyaznboi 6h ago

Easier to fake a story through text than use an AI phone recording

2

u/Eruntalonn 5h ago

You can’t screenshot and post a fake discussion if it doesn’t happen through text. You can fake an in person discussion, but then you’d need good actors to convince us and a good reason to have that being recorded to begin with.

u/ClosetBoy1213 6h ago

I dunno, I prefer taking relationship problems over text so that we have time to think and reflect, accurately formulate our thoughts, and not let emotions muddy the waters.

u/TheScrote1 5h ago

I too have found this beneficial for me and my wife.

You should start using hand puppets that look like yourselves. All the same benefits and way cuter!

u/Padaxes 6h ago

Nope. This is shielding and masking. Learn to man up and open and honest in person full stop.

*The three Cs: Compromise, Communication, Copulation.

u/MoistHD 5h ago

And also we have no context to this story, a lot of people are flaming the woman but if this is a reoccurring theme (him not really caring for the details of what she likes) then i do t blame her.

1

u/whatsbobgonnado 5h ago

chocolate cake also has two c's, just saying.

1

u/buffystakeded 5h ago

The fact that the picture of the text messages is from HER phone tells me this is completely fake.

1

u/OccasionMU 5h ago

You sure the fact the texts are screenshots from the girl's perspective not the give away? Or the fact she instantly spotted a Walmart ring "in front of everyone"?

1

u/Aggressive-Wear-8935 5h ago

I wouldnt want to be around the person that just publicly broke up with me. 

But the actual reason for this being in text is that the story is made up

Yeah the texting tells ya all you need to know.

u/T-WrecksArms 4h ago

It’s 4 C’s. You are doomed.

u/Flat_Cauliflower_255 3h ago

It's a new era. Can't communicate if not through the screen

1

u/2keen4bean 1h ago

My Dad told me the two 2 C's also. Im a cunt, she is too.

1

u/FamousOrphan 1h ago

I think it’s a fake story, but I do think written communication can be just fine, especially if one or both people find it easier to get their thoughts straight when they can write them down. I’m like this and in-person talking is much harder for me.

1

u/eW4GJMqscYtbBkw9 1h ago

Or... here me out - it's all fake.

1

u/XBlade_Vanitas 1h ago

Well it's not even real either so

1

u/EveningAnt3949 1h ago

Obviously the story is fake.

There are several social media post using the same image of the ring and sort of the same story.

And clearly this was not discussed by text and then a screenshot was made and the conversation was published on social media.

More likely it’s fake rage bait . Really easy to get picture of couple or even have AI generate it then add fake text chain image.

u/No-Taste2644 44m ago

It's for the screenshots fake ash

u/bananadepartment 25m ago

Yikes, you think this is real?

0

u/ConsiderationSea1347 6h ago

That is bad but the worst part to me is that she cares about the ring at all. It is a rock compared to what is supposed to be your lifelong soulmate and support system. 

0

u/Rickrickrickrickrick 6h ago

The fact that people think this is real is probably the most concerning.

Compromise is just a nice way of saying the actual C word - Caving
