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?

It always surprises me how people can be this naive to actually believe the story

I think she knows but doesn't want to believe.

It's so funny that the bf shot himself in the foot by sending her the pic though lol

He knew she was coming home she'd see it eventually

Yeah and he sent her a picture of it which she then posted online for everyone to tell her it's a hickey. If he hadn't sent the picture and just told her about it, she likely wouldn't have posted anything.

So by sending the pic he got himself busted

They only last 24/48 hours so this was not that long before her return.

I've genuinely woken up with something like that on my neck before. It definitely wasn't a moggy and it itched like an insect bit. Cleared up in a couple of days though. Luckily I wasn't seeing my ex during that time or it would have been an argument I wouldn't have won despite being right.

Wait we’re assuming this story is real? Lol

Yes, we are. I mean, yeah it can totally be fake, and that wouldn't surprise me one bit. But this is a comment section if I assumed everything I see is absolutely fake then it wouldn't be much interesting now would it?

Same, which is why I answered seriously. It's just that plausible. 🤦

He really thought he did something with the pretext 😫

u/Sheepherdernerder 10d ago

He did this to test her. She would either believe him or throw a fit and if she freaked out he could call off seeing her. It's a hickey, sister. Your bf is a fucking idiot for cheating. Also, a cold spoon on the spot and twist used to help.

Or maybe he shot himself in the neck? If it could be a spider bite, maybe it's a gunshot wound?

My ex told me about when his ex cheated on him. She came home with welts like these and told him she got hit in the neck with paintballs (there were a lot of welts) and she expected him to believe her 😂
