@scalingstories: u/throwRAsettles I overheard my wife telling her friends that she almost ran away with her ex-boyfriend but turned him down to settle for stability with me, and now I don’t know if any of our love and marriage is real. Plus one update. 0:00 Original Post 3:42 Update (3 Days Later) #scalingstories #minecraftparkour #reddit #redditstories #redditreadings
I honestly agree with him, wdym she decided to settle for him 4 years into a stable relationship.

“Settled isn’t a dirty word” it sure as hell is. Never let someone “settle” for you.

Last commenter nailed it. Idk why you guys are defending the wife. While it might’ve been because her ex’s death resurfaced long gone feelings - you never say that while married to someone, let alone say you love. She half assed her apology

Yes “settled for” is a dirty phrase 😭😭😭 that’s saying your partner was not your ideal choice and you reluctantly chose them

“She gave you 9 years of a happy marriage” Bro she had her bags packed 5 years ago.

I agree with commenter that said wife BSed her way through him confronting her.

She had a bag packed and said herself that she settled for him. I couldn’t imagine what hearing that from the person you love the most would do to you.

get into a fight with your partner and they start talking to their ex and spend a month regretting not running away with them… and he didn’t divorce?!?

"settled" means settled. saying you settled is one of the most hurtful things you can say. It means they're less than you or less than who you actually wanted. I can never imagine saying that about someone and I've had some rough relationships.

5 years minus 1 month is not really "recently" tho 🤨

Her having an hour long convo with her ex is literally a red flag 💀

I dont believe her when she said the bag was an exaggeration.
"Until recently" sounds to me that she always thought what could've been and then her ex overdosed and she was reliefed she made the right choice.

slightly.sad.tm :
The commenters clearly don’t know how to have adult conversations. They just want OP to keep being mad and leave his wife even though he’s clearly happy with the answer he got

yeah, I don't believe the wife at all, why would she over exaggerate and say she had her bag packed?

They should really go see a couples counselor. Just to make sure everything is actually good and okay

Why do the comments give the wife so much grace 💀 She was already YEARS into the relationship with OP and the moment an ex calls she packs her bags? It doesn't matter that she didn't go through with it. She was so willing to throw it all away for someone who had already become a stranger?!

She was gonna leave him for the drug addict living in a trailer after he said he could show her the world? 😭
