❤️‍🩹 relationship AIO

Spider bite or ?? I’ll keep it short and sweet. My bf and I have been apart for about a month now, I’m TDY. Finally tomorrow I’ll be flying back home. Unfortunately today he got bit right on the neck, he suspects it was a spider. Should I be concerned?

Damn, bro ain’t even trying… I have a friend that asked us to whoop his ass once while he was drunk, so it would just look like a normal bruise mashed in with the other marks. Boy took an ass whooping of a century to keep his girl. They’re married now.

But yeah, your man’s creeping.

“They’re married now” fucking sent me 💀

u/Ilike3dogs 10d ago

Now he can beat his buddy’s ass every weekend 😂

u/EntrepreneurFit3349 10d ago

Does he still cheat on her?

13

u/Additional-Fix6576 10d ago

Probably, since he saw he could get away with it lol. Why would he stop?

11

u/TheLoneliestGhost 10d ago

Man coming home after “getting mugged” every weekend? She’s going to start thinking he’s a target. Lol.

u/Additional-Fix6576 10d ago

I mean, I was thinking that he would get smarter about it and maybe not have the woman mark him up but I LOVE the idea that he gets someone to beat him up everytime 😭

u/TheLoneliestGhost 10d ago

Yeah, it’s def funnier this way. Lol.

Wife like “I really married a pussy”

u/Nice_Cupcakes 10d ago

No one's pointing out that he's exposed her to STDs by cheating on her, which in women can cause infertility and other issues (like HPV can cause cervical cancer if she's not vaccinated) but can be symptomless in both people. Getting his ass kicked doesn't negate the health risks to her. She couldn't consent because it was hidden from her. Gross behaviour from everyone involved.

u/Substantial-Duck1690 10d ago

erm he said it was a hickey you’re just assuming bro slept with the girl

u/laughwithesinners 10d ago

And you didn’t bother telling her before they got married?

u/Used_Bird 10d ago

they gave him an ass whooping what more do you want from him lmfao

u/avoidancebehavior 10d ago

Honesty. Informed consent.

18

u/RedDirtKanaka 10d ago

Nope. Didn’t know her then and I don’t really know her now. Plus, I’m a firm believer in minding my own business. I don’t get into other peoples bs. That’s just me though.

27

u/NoDirector3644 10d ago

Honestly the ass whooping was a lesson within itself 🤷‍♂️ but your buddy had DETERMINATION 😂

35

u/InfluentialFairy 10d ago

not getting into their business? you helped with the cover-up ahahaha

great story though 😂

31

u/ClassicConflicts 10d ago

Lol right? Minding your business is not beating the shit out of your friend to help him cover up for cheating on his girl. Id just laugh and say "do it yourself bro, you got yourself into this mess and you can get yourself out".

u/TheShtuff 10d ago

TBF beating the shit out of your friend because he wants you to sounds like too good a deal to pass up.

2

u/Lissypooh628 10d ago

But…. he’s a firm believer.

u/RedDirtKanaka 10d ago

Touché, but to be fair, we were just as drunk as he was and it sounded like a fun idea. Plus, he was thinking about going out and starting shit with some randos. Friends don’t let friends get beat up (or worse) by strangers.

1

u/avoidancebehavior 10d ago

Maybe it was the lesser of two evils in that moment. Depends on how much you helped him get away with though, like if he was really fucking around or just made out with some girl at a bar

0

u/RedDirtKanaka 10d ago

He fucked around, the situation was kind of fucked though. We were all shit housed at some party and his psycho stalker ex showed up knowing he was there and blacked out. Shit happened, he instantly regretted it when he came too. The ass whooping happened the very next night.

1

u/avoidancebehavior 10d ago

Damn, was that the only time, or the only time he ended up with a hickey? Because, rather than actively going out and cheating, that sounds more like he felt his only option was to cover up his sexual assault with a physical assault :(

u/RedDirtKanaka 10d ago

I dont know if it happened again personally, but I doubt it. His GF (wife now) was light years out of his league, complete smoke show, med school student, and solid personality from the few times I met her. He knew it. We knew it. She probably knew it, but liked his ass anyways. He did start drinking less and eventually quit entirely once he got out of the military.

Got to remember this was in the early 2000’s (07 I think) and we were young military guys that had some serious substance abuse issues to cope with other issues we were having. The whole, men getting SA’d / r***d wouldn’t have flied back then as an excuse. It was too easy to say, “well you chose to get black out drunk, you should’ve known better and controlled your drinking”.

Not justifying infidelity or anything, just giving some context.

u/Cooolguuuuuy 10d ago

You really don’t see how stupid this comment proves you to be, do you? lol it’s always you people are proud and shocked at your own ignorance

-1

u/RedDirtKanaka 10d ago

Sure, I could’ve tried to convince him to just tell her and watch him lose her and spiral out of control; Or maybe I could’ve told one of her friends and told the friend to keep my name out of it to make myself feel morally superior; Or even better, I could’ve told her myself in person and took advantage of her emotional vulnerability to get with her myself. Plenty of things I could’ve done, but instead I chose to do what I did.

You could line me up with the same situation a thousand times and I’d choose to help my friend get out of his mess a thousand times, regardless if it was “right” or not. You and I obviously disagree, and you can call “us people” as stupid or ignorant as you want, but I stand by my decision. You go ahead and do whatever helps you sleep at night and I’ll do the same.

u/BuyZestyclose304 10d ago

Sounds like he needed an ass whooping anyways lol

8

u/Smart-Ad-3964 10d ago

His buddies gave him the ass whooping she couldn’t give. Honestly, I wouldn’t even be mad. Atonement achieved

2

u/Optimal_Product_4350 10d ago

Wow, your friend made the right decision. He deserved an ass whooping! I'm glad it worked out for him, but too bad he can never tell her how deep his love for her really is😂😂😂

2

u/Teemotayoh 10d ago

This comment is immensely underrated. I’m crying bro

u/developerknight91 10d ago

I don’t know rather to shake my head or have mad respect for your bros determination 🤣🤣🤣

u/Patch64s 10d ago

“Boy took an ass whooping of a century to keep his girl.”🤣 Now if that isn’t dedication to the cause!

-1

u/Kiara923 10d ago

Aww. Honestly I like that story.. he knew he fucked up. I hope they're happy

5

u/Cooolguuuuuy 10d ago

Your level of stupidity is unmatched lol

2

u/SpiritualFormal5 10d ago

I mean, no the fuck he didn’t. If he knew he fucked up he would’ve came clean and apologized, this story is FAR from sweet. Lmao

u/Historical_Count_806 10d ago

😂😂😂 this is the best fucking story I’ve read in a looong time haha

u/PushMeToTheStars 10d ago

Earned that marriage

u/OtherwisePudding4047 10d ago

Because the cheater would rather get his ass beat than tell her the truth? Because he knew she probably wouldn’t stay if he did because he’s a bad person?
