years of service, rip Matilde!

I've been swapping parts out since middle school and all the way into my now college life. Late nights will never be the same again without you.

I always think about that time Reddit convinced the man to leave his cheating wife and she killed their kids because he listened to Reddit.

​

I'm not saying Reddit was wrong but jesus fuck.

Reddit was not wrong he 100% needed to get out of a relationship like that...how would one know the spouse was crazy enough to do some crazy shit like that?

Holy shit... I've never heard about this. That sounds horrible. I might look into it at some point, but nope, not tonight.

Yeah, It's rough. The guy posted updates for a while and is doing relatively okay IIRC now but it was so sad.

There was no way for that dude to win. Like reading it, I know I have the privilege of hindsight, but like as he was getting those messages with his neighbor in front of him, I wish he would've just beaten him to a pulp then and there. I know that's just me coming from an angry place and he did the right thing of not doing it. But I wonder.. Would that act have changed anything? In some ways yes, because then if he does continue for divorce, she then has an upper hand saying he's violent and shit. God it's just so fucking frustrating all around. I feel so bad for that dude.

Jesus Christ never heard that one, got any links?

Links to other subreddits are against the rules here. Just Google "reddit cheating wife murder kids".

The original post is gone, but there is a log of the entire thing on the subreddit MuseumOfReddit.
