I had this weird idea for a thread because I get recommended these videos of stories from Reddit and 4chan where things happen and I thought it might be amusing to have a thread for this and see how people react to different stories I find.
The first story is from Reddit and because I forgot to save it I do know the general story. A woman in her 30s is having a dilemma because her husband has learned about her sexual past due to a friend of hers telling him about it during a birthday party. In her 20s she was a "college degenerate" (basically her words) who did drugs and was active in having threeways with her at the time boyfriend (not the husband) and the boyfriend's male friend. She estimates the threesome count to be 15-30 range. As she got older she stopped doing these things and looks back on that period of her life with embarrassment and she wishes she didn't do it. For reference she notes she never told her husband about this element of her past, going back and forth on whether she should or not in her head over the years. So her husband is shellshocked about this information and after a few days of silence declares he wants a divorce because in his mind she wasn't the person he thought she was. Now she's distraught over this and wants to ask her lawyer if the pre-nup can be removed because she sees it as unfair that she dedicated five years of her life to helping her husband's small business empire and the divorce could leave her with nothing.
This one has a lot of layers to me. On the one hand the husband isn't wrong to have some preferences for people he dates and sure perhaps the wife should've been upfront years ago about her past so the husband could've decided to drop the relationship long before it reaches marriage. On the other hand I struggle to see how after five years of marriage you could so easily go get a divorce over your wife's sex life in her 20s long before she met you. This kind of creates an argument of how open about your sex life does your partner deserve to know? Does it even matter? Would it have been more right if she told her husband about this while they were still dating? Is he overreacting to this information and should've been glad she (presumably) genuinely loved him and wasn't cheating on him? I thought it was an interesting Reddit story.
