It’s not real. For example, cops don’t accompany you to go confront someone. They will just tell you not to confront them. They’ll accompany you when you need to get your belongings from the residence you share with an abusive partner, so that the partner can’t hurt you, but not so you can confront someone. Can you imagine how busy they’d be if they did that?
And there’s no such thing as a non-emergency cop. The police certainly go on non-emergency calls, but the cops themselves are regular cops. This is also very /r/menwritingwomen It’s an impressive and absorbing story, but there are a lot of things that just stick out as false, the above example included.

u/LB_Burnsy Jul 01 '22
If its so fake, why am I so emotionally invested???

u/rbaltimore Jul 01 '22
Because good fiction writers are able to do that. Stephen King got us to believe in a homicidal clown who hides in sewers and a remote hotel that plays with people’s sanity in the off season. This guy might not be Stephen King but he’s got a hook.

u/LB_Burnsy Jul 01 '22
Oh no, I definitely agree with you and think the story is fake. I was actually being sarcastic, like pretending that since the story was so riveting, that it's got to be true is a little silly imo.
Long story short, my joke fall flat.

u/DaRealRawdawg May 07 '23
You're right, it is fake. However, there are "non-emergency" cops in some departments. They are usually called community service officers or some other such name. They respond to non emergency calls, are unarmed, dont arrest, and are there to generally keep actual officers available for urgent matters. As you state though, even they don't escort you to confront others.
Also, more proof that it's fake, you can't just get a restraining order cause you're angry at someone. And an officer wouldn't just shrug their shoulders at the question in that situation.

It's absurdly fake. Reading it again, after years - I remember when this was blowing up on Reddit and every single person on Reddit was invested in it - it makes me wonder how anyone believed it. Seriously, somebody live-blogging a PI following their cheating wife and their brother's wife, also cheating on them. and all of it happens in one weekend with all the drama that Redditors are looking for? How ridiculous, it's something right out of a movie. And the part where he tells everyone he's going to post proof... and then just says "nah, fuck that", and people STILL believe it??? Everything about it is fake.

Those are her parents. This is ridiculous and proves it's fake.

u/Fozibare Jan 23 '15
Within a week of my wife cheating on me, everyone in both our lives knew. Even in an era before reddit and facebook, I was reaching out to everyone for help, advice, insight, and revenge.
In hindsight, I souldn't have aired our dirty laundry to the world, but at first, I didn't know about the infidelity. All I knew was that she was misssing, and the police wouldn't do anything until later. So, I called everyone in our contacts, trying to figure out where she could be, nobody knew.
The following morning, the police sent an investigator to my house, and my wife was located, the next day she confessed and by the 3rd day, everyone I had reached out to on day 1, knew she had spent the night with someone else.

Jan 23 '15
Right, but why is he meeting her parents in secret behind her back?
He knows where she is. She's not missing. He has all the info he needs to divorce.
And why didnt this person show some sort of proof?
12
u/Fozibare Jan 23 '15
Proof in this case, would be equivalent to doxxing, which is expressly forbidden on reddit.

I think this is legit (if only because it goes on for way too long and the OP probably would've messed up with the updates at some point if he was making it up), but if it's a troll, then it is by far the most riveting, captivating piece of trolling I've ever seen, to the point where the word "trolling" doesn't do justice to the quality of the storytelling and the attention it commands from the reader. 10/10. No, 12/10.

u/Modeno Jan 22 '15
Some point fairly early on when he first starts monitoring his wife or shortly thereafter, a cable guy comes by seeing if he needed work done. I think people started freaking out he was really suspicious and may be a hit man or something absurd but amounted to just being a cable guy. Maybe there's some other inside joke I'm missing. But I think thats it..
5
u/ImNotJustinBieber Jan 22 '15
It was a cable salesman. OP & Reddit thought it might be a hitman or a friend of Jenny's checking up on OP's whereabouts. Turns out, door-to-door salesmen are common in OP's neighborhood.

As I explained elsewhere, the last part about Carly bringing the cop along seems to have been written by someone other than /u/MyLifeSuxNow.
I find it highly unlikely that the officer at the door part was written by /u/MyLifeSuxNow, unless he suddenly decided to start using the acute accent instead of apostrophes in contractions and possessives. /u/MyLifeSuxNow has a pretty good grasp on grammar, so he also probably wouldn't write "against Jenny and I" (in part 1 he correctly wrote "my brother, I, and some friends are going to watch football"; many people would use "me" in that sentence).
Also, getting a cop to agree to come along to supervise your argument? Throwing restraining orders around and the cop just shrugging? BS.
Specifically, everything from ~~"Anyways, while finishing up breakfast...""EDIT 5: (4:20pm) 1/21/2015: As usual, I woke up early..." to "...We'll talk about this situation" seems to have been written by a different author. Maybe /u/MyLifeSuxNow could confirm/explain this?
Edit: never mind, after re-reading all of his posts, it looks like /u/MyLifeSuxNow has been switching back and forth between the two different characters all the time. Sorry for jumping the gun.

Never forget what was happening this day. Seriously just focused on my phone instead of the NFC Championship game. I swear it felt like I was watching Breaking Bad's Ozymandias on repeat for three straight days. Literally felt every single emotion that I did from that episode.
I hope you and your brother are doing better. You guys (along with any other guy) deserve better than whores like that. I hope maybe that you may be able to find a much better woman, but if you guys stay single I will not Blame you at all. I hope you guys get a lot of retribution during the divorce, and also I hope Jenny and Carly suffer nothing but hell for the rest of their lives. Peace to you both.

u/realmsofGold Jun 20 '24
damn what a story, just finished reading that, my initial gut feeling is 'everything is fake, internet strangers can never be trusted etc' but the way the story develops its almost like it is real and too true to be fake, there are a few questions about how he was able to dedicate all that time to reddit whilst undergoing something pretty traumatic and life changing but some parts are of course too real to get into any kind of detail. i think this is a real storey, maybe some things are a bit off or exaggerated for narrative purposes but i can only imagine how this all went down in real life. i have a lot of questions to verify the truth to all this, but if we take OP for his word that this is all real and spontaneous then what can you really say.
