Thousands of people on Reddit are following the saga of a man going by MyLifeSuxNow who discovered his wife was cheating on him when he looked at her phone and found she'd been exchanging nudes with a mysterious man.
But this guy didn't just confront his wife about the photos on her phone in the privacy of their home, he went on the subreddit r/TIFU (today I fucked up) to vent and ended up with a massive audience following his minute-by-minute updates on the whole situation. As of Saturday night at 10 p.m., it was still going, with the story separated into Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3.
By the way, that "situation" has gone down a serious rabbit hole that includes a private investigator, his brother, his sister-in-law, more mysterious strangers and a fierce comment debate over whether or not he should bang his wife again.
A sampling:
(5:15pm) 1/16/2015: Private Investigator hired to tail her Saturday, Sunday and Monday
(6:00pm) 1/16/2015: It took a while, but passwords to everything changed, backed up personal info, created throwaway email to send proof to.
(6:47pm) 1/16/2015: She's home, It really sucks speaking to her normally, but I'm dealing with it. No sex. Also, I've found 3 excellent divorce lawyers for myself. Luckily I make much more than her so I can afford an excellent lawyer while she can only afford a mediocre one at best.
(8:13pm) 1/16/2015: Hired a divorce lawyer (pricey) but he's known to do excellent work. I'm in good hands. It's tempting to have sex, my soon to be ex-wife is trying extra hard to seduce me tonight for some reason. She's either super horny or is trying to get me to have sex with her as a form of infidelity forgiveness.
(8:54pm) 1/16/2015: Goddammit she's on her phone texting again in the bathroom. I can hear the send button being pressed over and over. It's probably nudes and sexy talk. Jeesus this hurts.
(9:55pm) 1/16/2015: She went to bed, I'm sitting here watching TV on my laptop. She's trying to initiate sex, I of course have to decline. I went to have sex with her but I'll control myself. Despite what she did being unforgivable, she's still beautiful on the outside.
(10:17pm) 1/16/2015: Heading to bed, I'll update some more tomorrow after getting up. I cannot stress how thankful I am for all this positive support. It means a lot to me. But, no matter what, it'll take many months or even a year or two to get over this shitty situation. I hate to say it but she's pretty on the outside. She's just fucked up on the inside.
And it's leading to inspirational comments like the one below:

Let's just say, if this does turn out to be bullshit, this guy has a future as a fiction writer.
