    It seems that the woman has a penchant for believing mystical guidance. “A few years ago, she visited an astrologer and it took a whole year for her to accept that none of it was real,” the husband said.

    That should’ve been the first clue. I can date someone who engages in fantasy for a bit, but if they never come back to reality then just put the relationship down humanely.

    My ex-wife used tarot cards to justify cheating on me, and then leaving me.

    I didn’t even know she had tarot cards.

      It is amazing what excuses cheaters will use to justify their behavior.

      In my case, my ex did the nature documentary argument way before the manosphere became a thing. I dunno why that is a pattern with that sort of man. They like to think of themselves as superior intellectuals until it comes to sex, then they will make graphs and studies and be pseudo David Attenboroughs to justify that their caveman urges are too strong for them to overcome.

      I guess the female version of that is tarot cards, coffee grounds and zodiacs? I hope you found a better lady later, because that one surely wasn’t worth keeping in your life!

        Well, it’s probably true. Their urges are too strong for them to overcome. But that’s what an adult should be able to do, overcome the fucking urges

          Exactly. But cheaters love pretending their urges are mystical forces, not a failure to act like grown-ups. Funny how that “strength” vanishes when accountability’s involved.

    AI tasseography – a form of divination that interprets shapes left by tea leaves (or sometimes coffee grounds or wine sediment) after a cup is drunk.

    So. Instead of just, idk, feeding ChatGPT all known details of the SO and maybe a dump of their messages or whatever and actually have a chance of it giving you a proper answer…they… just gave it a pic of a drunk coffee cup‽ Wtf is wrong with people

          Well…maybe she made him a party favor? Tied him to the bed, and put a blinding hood on him, then injected liquid viagra into his veins every 4 hours, and invited the whole neighborhood over to pass him around. With him never even knowing who he had sex with, and who fucked him in the ass…

          See? She made him a favor!

          What? It’s already been established that the ex IS crazy. Loraina Bobbitt did far worse, and she wasn’t even crazy…kinda justified actually.

          Here’s a litmus test to use when deciding to correct someone’s English online: did you understand what they meant?

          Yes? Leave them alone.

          No? Ask for clarification, then leave them alone.

              Assume. Presume implies you have some reason or evidence for that belief.

              Edit: I find it hilarious how many people are downvoting me for correcting somebody who has just said they appreciate corrections.

            There are plenty of people, myself included, who prefer to be corrected, because otherwise how will we learn? If nobody corrects us, we’ll keep making the same stupid mistakes.

            If someone doesn’t want to be corrected, they are free to ignore it and to continue doing it wrong.

            A lot of non-native English speakers use online communication to practice and most want to be corrected so they can improve.

            A lot of native English speakers make mistakes accidentally, or speak with a dialect and some of them get really angry when people try to correct them.

            It’s sometimes tricky to know which is which. The best solution is for everyone to just be kind to each other but…

            I think correction is fine, as another comment said it’s a good way to get feedback and learn.

            The problem with this comment for me was the condescension and the rudeness.

              I didn’t read it that way. It’s just blunt, which is a bit rough to some people, but what do you see as condescending? asking because i could almost have made this comment, but probably would not have

              (I am not a good communicator so i really want to understand why you feel it was that way)

                This is of course subjective. For me the style of the correction felt like something a strict elementary school teacher would say to a kid.

      Bad for the kids…

      “I laughed it off as nonsense,” he said. “But she didn’t. She told me to leave, informed our kids about the divorce, and the next thing I knew, I was getting a call from her lawyer.”

          Easy for a man to get custody of the kids? What world do you live in?

          My friend’s ex repeatedly crashed her car while drunk with their daughter in the car and he had to fight a pretty much non-stop court battle for over a decade to maintain his 50%.

            basically the same for me and my sisters with our parents. Dad in the army and mom is robbing walmarts to pay for crack. Hmm, mom gets summer custody it is!
