A Reddit user is following through with divorcing his wife after her “psychic” friend falsely informed her that he was cheating. The user, known as “Successful-Top3827,” posted on Reddit’s “AITAH” subreddit seeking advice on the situation. He met his wife, Rhona, in college and they lived together for two years before marrying. At their wedding, he met a friend of Rhona’s named Anna, who claimed to be able to read palms and referred to herself as part gypsy. Successful-Top3827 found it strange, as he had friends from the Roma community who did not refer to themselves in this way. Successful-Top3827 only saw Anna a few times over the years, with the most recent visit being on Labor Day in 2023.
After Anna’s visit, Rhona started acting strangely, accusing Successful-Top3827 of having an affair despite his insistence that he was not. Despite his attempts to prove his innocence, Rhona continued to believe Anna’s claims. Eventually, Rhona asked him to move out, which he refused to do. Instead, Rhona moved in with her parents, who eventually held an intervention due to concerns about her mental state. Successful-Top3827 decided to proceed with a divorce after attempting to convince Rhona of his fidelity for several months without success.
Rhona and her parents hired a private detective to find evidence of the affair, but none was found. After realizing the truth, Rhona wanted to reconcile, but Successful-Top3827 declined, citing their lease ending soon and his plans to move to Denver to be closer to his family. Despite her family’s attempts to reconcile, Successful-Top3827 remained firm in his decision to divorce. He expressed a lack of trust in Rhona and a belief that they were not right for each other, especially considering the ordeal they had gone through.
The Reddit community largely sided with Successful-Top3827, agreeing that he was not in the wrong for pursuing a divorce. Many users expressed shock at Rhona’s behavior and noted that her willingness to believe a psychic over her husband was a serious breach of trust. Some users commended Successful-Top3827 for realizing the situation early in the marriage and preventing potential future issues, especially if they had children together. Ultimately, the consensus was that Successful-Top3827 was making the right decision by moving forward with the divorce and not succumbing to pressure to reconcile.
The situation highlighted the dangers of blindly trusting outside influences over one’s partner and the importance of communication and trust in a marriage. Successful-Top3827’s experience serves as a cautionary tale for others who may find themselves in similar situations where outside interference threatens the stability of their relationships. By standing firm in his decision to divorce and prioritizing his own well-being and future, Successful-Top3827 demonstrated strength and resilience in the face of a challenging and tumultuous situation. The support from the Reddit community reaffirmed his decision and provided validation for his choice to move on from the relationship. As he prepares to start a new chapter in Denver, Successful-Top3827 can look forward to a future free from the turmoil and uncertainty that plagued his marriage.
