r/Bestof My Friend Wants to Sleep with My Husband

Welcome to our best of redditor updates where we have one of the sweetest and most heart-touching stories I've ever read our next Reddit post comes from R parenting I'm a 16 year old guy who has a four-month-old daughter and my ex-girlfriend wants to go to college and I'm worried before anyone says anything yes I knew about condoms I was just dumb my parents divorced when I was 10 but I live primarily with my mom the parents of my ex-girlfriend Tiffany who's 16 are still together when our parents found out that she was pregnant her parents kicked her out and my mom kicked me out so now we live with my dad during the pregnancy my dad took my mom to court and got primary Soul custody I know what this means because I had to go to court for my daughter my dad sued Tiffany's parents for legal Guardianship and they now pay child support for her and they're pissed and refused to talk to us I'm in my bedroom my daughter is in her bedroom and my ex is in the guest bedroom that's now hers my dad made a deal with us we live with him until the age of 18 with no rent payment and at 18 we need to decide what to do I wasn't really that good with school but Tiffany is an a student so I took my GED and my dad got me into welding school I finished in two months I also work full time so I do welding school at night Tiffany goes to school and works on the weekends at Wendy's this whole thing is a huge ordeal we literally have no life my dad helps but not that much because he feels that it's our responsibility which I agree but it still sucks I work from 6 a.m to 3 P.M at a warehouse and I go to school from 6 pm to 10 pm Tiffany is home by 2 30 and picks up her daughter from daycare we help each other a lot and then I head off to school and she stays with our daughter at home until I get home and then we do it all over again the next day when our daughter was born my dad made us go to court we each had 50 50 custody and I don't pay child support because she lives with us because I work full-time I can get health care for my daughter and myself and that sucks because it cost me 300 a month and daycare is 400 a week Tiffany literally just works so that we can pay for daycare and I pay for everything else when we're short on cash my dad will help because he sees that we're trying my dad has been our Rock when we're tired and exhausted he will step in and give us a break here and there but he makes sure that we have everything we need and keeps us motivated Tiffany wants to apply to college soon and I'm worried because I don't want to keep living with her and I don't think that I can keep our daughter full time as a welder working 12 hour shifts but she says that she wants to start Community College and work but she wants to stay with us living together since it's easier since I'll still be working it'll be best for us to stay with my dad but my dad said that at the age of 18 we have to start paying rent my ex doesn't mind that but I don't want to keep living with her because we're not together I'm unsure of how to tell her this my dad thinks that she should stay with us as long as she's a full-time student so she can finish her degree because I'm already getting started in my career I just just feel that this is unfair because the burden is on me I guess I'm ranting because I'm scared and unsure of what all this means op ads in an edit I guess my issue with her living with us is that we're more like siblings now we get along and joke and stuff but since she's my ex I feel weirded out by it maybe I need to take a breather since everyone is saying that's a good thing also I needed to hear it from other people and not just my dad and my dad is pretty solid and I should think of maybe and take him out to dinner or something then about three weeks later op posted an update my ex and my dad went to my ex's high school and they were able to get her enrolled in college courses because of her grades she reapplied for assistance and we got a voucher for daycare so now that's 50 bucks a week she quit her job so she can focus on school but she doesn't start college until spring so that's cool it gives her some time she still wants to be a nurse I got a new job that pays more as a forklift Opera operator and will give me an internship for Welding which I won't be able to start until November or December until I finish my classes but still they're paying me really well my dad and I had a long talk about my fears and he reassured me that it's okay to be scared but we have a game plan he's fixing up the basement in his house to make two bedrooms in a living room kind of like a little apartment because he said that my ex and I will need space as we grow he wants me to buy his house from him when I'm 18 like he did with his parents and he'll help me pay for the mortgage as long as Tiffany gets to stay until she finishes college and let her make her own choice we all agree that this is the best option and we're all much happier now I guess I just needed to let it out my ex and I are great when we're being parents and now we're starting to feel a bit more secure my mom and Tiffany's parents still haven't spoken to us because we aren't married and that does make me sad but it's okay we have my dad Tiffany's grandparents bought her a car and they said that's all they can do for her and not to contact them again until we're married the car needs some work but I'm going to pay for it to get it fixed up my dad finally told me what all happened and I didn't know any of this but it made me open my eyes to all of this my dad met my mom in high school too and they were together and got caught kissing since my Mom's family are Baptist they forced my dad to marry her they forced him to marry because they got caught kissing I didn't know this but in Missouri parents can marry their kids at 15 which is why my dad has been so protective they were gonna oh Jesus they were gonna marry Tiffany and I because she was pregnant but when my dad stepped in they couldn't do it my mom and Tiffany's dad went to get a license for us and they were going to marry us in their church I guess I wouldn't have minded marrying Tiffany but I would rather do it later but yeah yeah that's why they aren't talking to us my dad said that if that happened he would help us get it annulled but he has no intentions of speaking to them right now he explained to me that Tiffany is stuck and while I might be afraid she's even more afraid because she has no one and I need to reassure her that we're here for her as family I guess I couldn't see it that way and it's good that I talked to him guys there's still more story but oh my God the dad in the story he is a lifesaver Opie has no idea just how much of a golden-hearted individual his dad is oh man okay I'm getting a little bit choked up here father of the year award is going to this guy I'm reading this story in what uh May so far this is the best parent in all of 2023 of all the stories that I've read I hugged my dad and I've been hugging him every day now and it's nice it's made us closer all this information made me pretty sad and grateful at the same time and it helped Tiffany and I really start talking more like yeah we talked before but we didn't really talk and I didn't know that she was scared too also the two of us are having days now where we get to just be kids together as my dad says so now at least once a week both of us hang out with friends who still talk to us and I get to do a lot of stuff on the weekends now that she doesn't work for example I've been spending more time taking our kid jelly to the park and going for walks like we used to in the pumpkin patch jelly seems to be happier too and Tiffany doesn't seem as tired anymore oh my God this is Dad op ads in an edit I just want to say thanks for thinking that I'm a great dad but I don't believe it just yet I depend a lot on my dad to help me Tiffany and I are trying we do take parenting classes that offer us a lot of advice and we've made friends there which is nice but I don't think that I would be this prepared without my dad all also Tiffany is on food stamps and we take parenting and co-parenting classes it's my dad's rules then gosh how long is this two years later almost yeah okay about two years later opposed another update oh my gosh guys I finally logged into Reddit and I had tons of messages and I found this post I honestly just didn't expect this so I might as well make an update well Tiffany and I are 18 now I made my first post two years ago and jelly is two years old as well my dad is doing really good now he finally has a girlfriend and of course he met her at Tiffany's Community College she's an admissions counselor Tiffany is in community college for nursing and she's killing it she'll have her Associates in nursing and then head over to her bachelor's at some point but yeah she's doing really good I'm a welder now and I make pretty good money Tiffany and I are back together you guys I'm gonna cry oh my God this is actually choking me up oh my God you guys op and Tiffany and their daughter were on the ropes they were facing a miserable broken life a shattered family their lives were ruined but their dad their golden hearted dad sacrificed so much to pull them together and teach them what's important God what a good person I hope I am half as good of a father as this guy is oh I'm getting emotional okay okay okay Tiffany and I are back together we started dating again and this New Year's when she kissed me and it just felt right but she made it very clear that we're dating so she's in the basement which we've fixed up and I'm in my room upstairs and she makes me text her if it's okay to come over haha it's just a funny thing that we do yes I'm gonna marry her oh oh guys I can't take this okay okay I I need tissues I gotta take a break I need tissues we go to family counseling four times a month two weeks virtual and two weeks in office because of our schedule we found that this helps us it's like couples counseling but not I'm not the best communicator and this has helped me with stressful times with Tiffany and jelly I feel like I aged the past two years I definitely don't feel 18. I feel older jelly is the happiest kid and she literally lights up a room and I honestly just can't imagine not being not being in her life every second of the day she loves paw that's what she calls my dad she has him wrapped around his finger he literally spoils her all the time I really love being a dad to her I love taking naps with her and how she's just a daddy's girl she's literally my shadow it drives Tiffany crazy but she's also really happy the two of us do go out on dates to like dinner and movies sometimes we just sit in the car and talk and laugh mostly laugh my dad has changed a lot and the four of us are really really close he's so much happier and I think that his girlfriend makes him happy like made him alive again he's always doing some weird teaching moments like if Tiffany is irritated and walks away he'll just say well an irritated woman tends to shop to get her mind off things can you afford that well so yeah he's constantly with his little comments I haven't spoken to my mother at all and I have no intentions of doing so Tiffany's parents did come back and try to build a relationship with her but they always made her feel like garbage so she cut contact with them my dad still wants us to buy his house and I told him that we have no plans on ever moving out so I told him that I'll buy the house when either on 30 or When Tiffany and I get married and she said Not until she graduates and gets a job so no wedding bells for at least another two years if you ask Tiff Tiffany says that she doesn't plan on getting married until she's 28 so it might be longer haha guys this story this story hit me in the gut this one hit me hard the father in this story he's the type of man that I think all of us should aspire to be gosh not only is he doing everything right he's going completely above and beyond doing more than the minimum doing more than what's expected he's doing like the maximum he's like the perfect the perfect person in the situation not only did he save his son and his grandfather from what would have almost certainly been a terrible life but he also created such a loving and nurturing environment that he and Tiffany were able to work past their differences and learn what it means to be an adult and a loving co-parent that they were able to reforge their relationship and find love again op if you are half the father that your father is then jelly is gonna grow up in an amazing environment I really hope that all of you have a good life op our next Reddit post is from r slash relationship advice I'm a 25 year old woman and my husband's 28 year old female friend told him that I'm cheating on him and that it's best to open our relationship and that she could help us it all started a few weeks ago when we were having dinner with some friends and one of them in particular began to joke that after 13 years together surely one of us already got bored of the other one and that surely the one who got bored first was me because I'm the attractive one in the relationship and I know that comment affected my husband because that night he joked that he was actually lucky that I paid attention to him I thought that he would just forget about it but he didn't he started asking me all the time if I love him if I'm happy with him if I would change something about our relationship and things like that yesterday while we were talking about it I told him that I wouldn't replace him for anything or anyone and he started crying which was really weird weird because he rarely cries I don't like seeing him like this so I spoke with his sister who he's really close with she told me that for weeks one of our friends has been telling him that he should prepare for the day that I cheat on him or leave him and she also told him that she thinks that I'm already seeing someone else that if he wants it to be less painful for him it's best to open up the relationship that if she wants she and her boyfriend can help us open our marriage since it would be easier because we both know them and this will help us because we'll be able to experiment with more people and I won't get bored of him and to also be able to have fun with her like the lifelong friends that they are according to my husband's sister he hates this idea but if that's what I want to do then he'll let me experiment with more people to be honest I hate everything that has to do with open relationships if you like it great but it's not my thing I thought that I was always clear about that with him that's why I don't even understand why his friends said that his friend does have an open relationship but she was never one of those people who wants everyone else to be like her she's always respected us so I don't know what happened how can I make him understand that she lied about me because she probably just wants to sleep with him then about three weeks later Opie posted an update I talked to my husband and he told me everything that his friend told him apparently she's been telling him for months that he's not attractive enough to keep me for long that love isn't everything and that looks are important to everyone and that people who say they don't care about beauty are lying that pissed me off so much because for me my husband is really beautiful and I love him more than anyone in this world if I didn't think that then I wouldn't have been with him for 13 years and she knows that and the worst part is that my husband believed her because she destroyed his self-esteem with those comments that aren't true just because she wants to manipulate him into sleeping with her she has two boyfriends or whatever you call them and one of them apparently knows who I am he told her that he would like to know if he could have a chance with me that's why she's been messing with my husband's mind for all these months at least that's what she told us when we confronted her she also admitted that she likes my husband not romantically but physically and that's also why she wanted to convince him to sleep with her because she's liked him for years honestly I don't understand anything about the world of having two or more partners and I'm not interested in knowing anything either I just know that I find it disgusting if you want to have a harem that that's up to you personally I don't want that and I find it disgusting that they don't understand it just respect people who don't want to live like that is that too difficult to understand she apologized many times but my husband didn't forgive her and I don't intend to forgive her either she behaved like an idiot and it's impossible for her to win back our trust on the other hand my husband and I are fine of course we've had a lot of talks about what happened these last few weeks and about our relationship but we're fine and that's all that matters to me that our little family as well for us and our children I really like this top comment from nalavi what a selfish cruel thing to do chipping away at someone's self-worth until they're sad enough to sleep with you that's low like rain puddle in a landfill low so imagine you pay to go to an all-you-can-eat buffet and when the waitress comes to your table she tells you by the way you're not allowed to eat any of our meat products and then after eating you head over to the gym and say welcome to the gym but you're only allowed to use the treadmill the weights the basketball court and every other part of the gym is off limits to you even though you paid for a full gym membership so that's basically what it's like to use a streaming service when you're not behind a VPN Netflix Hulu Crunchyroll Amazon even YouTube all has content that you can't see based on your location and if you ask me that's total BS because you're paying for the service if I'm paying for a Netflix subscription then I should be able to see the entire Netflix library but that's just not how it works so if you want to see the entire library on Netflix or YouTube or whatever then you need a VPN expressvpn allows you to manually set your location so you can trick streaming services into thinking that you're watching from another country are you a big anime fan then just use expressvpn to set your location to Japan you can unlock tons of extra content like Studio Ghibli films if you want to try out expressvpn you can get three money for you by going to expressvpn.com r slash that was our slash best of redditor updates and if you like this content check out my podcast where I
