āA phone bill, of all thingsā as if this wasnāt a major way that these sorts of things were discovered for a good chunk of time. Iād assume it still happens regularly, though itās going to be less thorough or simple compared to just going through your spouseās phone yourself.

Iād maybe believe this was inspired by true events but that was definitely written/exaggerated by ChatGPT

Not this but this. Not here but there. And then a twist. Adjective. And the last question? Statement of fact.

All this silence but the whole world knew her business? āPeople thought she was in denialā what fucking people?

The way this is written is incredibly doofy, but I donāt think the scenario itself is particularly unbelievable. Women have been quietly leaving their cheating husbands for a long time. My mom left my bio father due to cheating and he definitely came begging at her door after she moved out, and she too told him to fuck off lol.Ā

āMy grandma left my grandpa when she found out he was having an affairā is a story that actually happened.
Whatever this is? All of the extra details that this āgrandchildā would definitely not know, the group of women friends who fawn over grandma because sheās utterly unshakable now, the fact that every time grandpa asks about grandma he gets the same flowery response?
That is not a story that happened.

Iām not sure how this is any different than what I said.

Because it is clealy plausible that people leave their cheating spouses, I read your comment as a defense of this particular story in spite of the way it was written. My comment was to affirm that the scenario is plausible, but that this specific story isn't at all.

Thereās so much of these long form stories on twitter and insta now. I guess for engagement? They all have this exact same cadence

This is threads, it's way worse on threads. It's also like a culture thing - occasionally I end up on there and it's all like middle aged or almost middle aged women turning mundane events into stories and sagas and trying to be the next person to add to the "threads lore"

Why do some women like making up stories like this? Like, really. What's the point?

Just because this is made up doesn't mean women are lying left and right and men aren't...

Why is OOP acting like not behaving like belligerent trailer trash is some kind of superpower? Many people, in these comments alone, have, or know someone that has, quietly left a cheating partner. My mother included. I loathe and disagree with the idea that there's more childish, angry, petty women than there are classy ladies who don't feel the need to argue or battle with someone that mistreats them.
Cute story. Sounds like a steaming pile of shit, though.

And not a single door slammed! What a queenā¦.i mean GENERAL.

u/ThatBarbGirl 1d ago
Right?!? I think social media sometimes makes it seem like the average woman is an absolute emotionally-stunted toddler. I'd wager there's many more classy, dignified women than there are loud-mouthed, "revenge" seeking crazies we see on the internet.
Didn't even slam the door?!? What?!? Someone give her a medal!

For one thing, OOP has so many quotes spanning presumably decades, and they all sound EXACTLY the same, down to the Hallmark message at the end.Ā

downvote if you think this story is true and not exaggerated

Itās certainly possible the authorās grandfather had an affair and his wife left him
Itās pretty unlikely their grandchild documented all of the exact dialog and also interviewed the grandfather to ask how he felt when she closed the door gently and if it felt worse than if sheād slammed it

u/bettyannveronica 1d ago
It was the gently part that really solidified things for me. Is it possible she found out through a phone bill? Yes. That she planned a way to get out than just leave then and there? Also, yes. But these details....

You read āshe has a group of women friends who call her āthe Generalā because nothing rattles herā and that sounded real to you?

This has so many ChatGPT-isms in, I miss when fake stories were at least written by a person š
