But it says at the end she was fine with her grade. I really wish I could've heard that conversation.

[–]TriggerWarning595 80 ポイント81 ポイント  (0子コメント)

It's basically a metaphor for "No I won't provide details about that stuff I'm totally honest about"

[–]fullblownelow [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Of course she's fine with her grade, she loves the d's

This is a man who wants the truth, not his crumby old girlfriend back.

what's a female equivalent for the metaphor of 'toaster leavings'

she's what's left when you get all the actual useful parts out and you only eat it because you're desperate and have nothing else

[–]cman811 342 ポイント343 ポイント  (54子コメント)

"I have not." Suuuuuuure buddy. I'm just going to take the time to grade your apology letter and post it online for everyone to see before I mail it back to you to show you how much I haven't thought about you.

[–]HauntedFurniture 121 ポイント122 ポイント  (10子コメント)

Yeah, methinks the guy doth protest too much...

[–]PurpleWorlds 62 ポイント63 ポイント  (7子コメント)

I'd probably do the same thing if It didn't require so much effort to make my handwriting look presentable.

Doesn't mean I care and want them back because I find their lying entertaining. It just means I have a mean sense of humor, and enjoy making fun of those which happily would wish to hurt me. Not out of revenge but because I can. I mean I have completely fair game to do whatever crude joke because they did wrong first isn't that fun?

[–]Blessed2416 29 ポイント30 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Exactly! He probably didn't think about her until he got the letter... then thinking since she took the time to write to him, he took the time to correct it. He obviously didn't have much to say in return... If you have nothing nice to say, grade the paper...? lol

[–]PolitiklyIncorrect [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

I think he probably read it, thought all those notes out in his head, (since it came to no satisfying conclusion or provide details) and then decided to grade it. Maybe the fact he's a student had something to do with this conclusion. Posting it online was probably humor purposes, but also, how often does an ex send a 3 page hand written apology letter? People post less rare things to the internet on a daily basis.

[–]pullandpray [スコア非表示]  (2子コメント)

If you're taking the time to respond then it certainly means you care. He's trying to hurt her. He's making a joke at her expense. If he truly didn't care then he wouldn't have taken the time to write a spiteful response and he certainly wouldn't post it to social media.

[–]Benbeasted [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

I don't think taking the time to this means he cares. I love making a good joke, especially if it takes a lot of effort on my part. A good setup usually leads to a good execution.

[–]PurpleWorlds [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

I dunno, I think you're confusing just wanting to have fun with care. If I just threw away the note that's really boring. I've gotten long winded messages of apologies from blatant liars and bad people and spent the day laughing and sending it to my friends who all also know they are bad people. I'd do something with it, at the very least a paper airplane!

I guess I'm just saying, it's easy to confuse dedication to a joke and effort put in to have fun because you genuinely enjoy messing around.

[–]Mottonballs 68 ポイント69 ポイント  (37子コメント)

I've never had a relationship fail where I've ever felt the slightest inclination toward publicizing any embarrassing or hateful stuff. Both of these people seem pretty unenjoyable as far as partners go. It's always weird to me how people are super fascinated with concepts of humiliating people who cheat in relationships.

[–]Servalpur 135 ポイント136 ポイント  (11子コメント)

It's always weird to me how people are super fascinated with concepts of humiliating people who cheat in relationships.

Really? I mean, it isn't exactly rocket science here. Someone hurt you, and you want to hurt them back.

I've been cheated on once (that I know of...), and it was extremely painful. Not only that, but it was humiliating, even though I knew it shouldn't be. Was I not good enough for her? Why did she do it? Was he just a better lay? Did she actually care about him? Which is worse? All of those thoughts ran through my head.

I don't think I'd do this, but I can completely understand why someone would.

[–]SnoringLorax 10 ポイント11 ポイント  (6子コメント)

I got cheated on too. How did you cope? It's rough man.

[–]Servalpur 24 ポイント25 ポイント  (3子コメント)

Did a ton of drugs, slept with too many people, and ultimately forgot about her in the haze.

Of course, eventually I realized that submerging my problems under the sweet layer of flesh and drugs wasn't healthy, but by that time I just didn't care enough about her to be upset anymore.

Agree on your first point. In fact, since FB became a thing, as a breakup nears for me, I amend my privacy settings to

  1. Approve all posts to my wall in case of a rogue jilted lover.

  2. Approve all tagging of me in pictures and posts for reasons above.

  3. Default set the audience to Only Me for posts and then amend it after I post it and have had 5 minutes to consider who I want to see it and if it's hateful or TMI

Because they put on competition grade suspension/wheel setups worth more than the Jeeps and never take them off the asphalt.

[–]00093293 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (5子コメント)

It seems like the less accessories or upgrades on a Jeep, the more inclined the person is to actually take it off road.

[–]BitGladius 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

People who aren't going to off-road don't know what they're buying and are looking for "the best Jeep". People who are into it know what they want and to some degree or another will consider cost/benefit. I'm not a Jeep owner, but in my hobbies people with more experience will resort to minmaxing to stay in budget.

[–]BurlySon2000 187 ポイント188 ポイント  (29子コメント)

The letter transcribed

This is my only way to get to you. I know you don't want anything to do with me. I know you would rather me become non-existent. Sometimes I do too. By this time you probably have already figured out who this is. Hell you might just want to stop right here and not continue reading this, and that's fine. Maybe you might pick this up again in a day or two, or a month, or maybe a few years from now. Nothing that I say is going to change no matter the time. A lot has happened and I know it has. I know you probably think that you are wasting your time reading this, and you might be. It's hard to imagine there is nothing left of us. I saw the other day, and I couldn't help but cry. You know the saying, "you never know how much you had until it's gone." That's how I feel. I took you for granted. I begged for you back, and I ended up failing on my part, and not holding up my end of everything we had coming out of all we had. You have taught me so many things. You showed me what it looked like when a guy, truly loved a girl. You might regret every thing between you and I. If I were you, I would too. I always complained that you were the one too immature and never taking anything seriously - seems like it was the other way around. I started irrelevant arguments. If there is one thing I Never did to you no mater if you believe me or not. I never cheated on you. I promise that on everything. All of me, my mom, my jeep, literally everything. I never thought about it, nor could ever put my heart to do that - especially to you. I just couldn't ever do that.

Whether you believe me or not. You have made me into a better person. I have began to realize that it's not just all about me. and now to be humble and give to others. You listened to every little non-important little detail I had to say. I pushed you to your limits, and you gave your all to me. I lost it all. All of who I was, more importantly who we were seems like you're a stranger at this point. I took all the promises we had and broke them. I refused to stop texting you in hopes that you would eventually unblock me. Honestly, I can't change anything that you heard,f whether you believe what people have said or not. After we broke, I felt like everything was fine up until when I was by myself and would break into tears understanding how I really truly did mess up everything we had. I was the cause of our downfall that not being together wasn't all it was cracked up to be nor what I was expecting. Trying to move on, was the hardest thing to do. The thought of you has made me lose my sanity, my mind wonders thinking if you think of me... wondering if you think about we were.

I never thought I'd be wishing I was with you. Do you remember the playlist you asked me to be your girlfriend with? I continue to listen to it I just drown myself in tears. Almost a year ago we had just begun this adventure we were there and crazy for each other. A few weeks later, I knew I was in love, the feeling and emotions of a perfect bond relationship were there. I thought you were the one. As the months went I left my love deteriorate through time. If you have decided to keep reading this all I've had to say, you would realize that this isn't a joke or a game. This is how I feel I have no reason to hide, lie, or hold anything back from you. I have no part of you so I (?) lose anything else from here. From the first time we locked eyes, I knew you were too good to let go. Yet I did. I can't go back to where we were, and I am not asking you to. You have a bright future ahead of you, and this what you always pushed me to do my best. You will soon find another love and truly wish you the best. Find someone who will give the best of who they are. The whole time, don't let her make all these mistakes I've made. Part of you will remain in my heart. I just hope to God you have thought about me like I have you.

I think about where we would be today if we were together and how much we were in love with each other... knowing I don't have you will be one of the things I've gone through. By this point you are probably getting tired of reading this and you probably regret me as a whole and wish yo didn't just spend more of your time wasted on me or this. But there isn't a spot in me that regrets what we were except the fact of how I destroyed us. I'm sorry. I wish you the best in all you do. I know you will do great with coaching this year. You have a bright future ahead of you. I couldn't be more proud of the you have become. I can't thank you enough all you have done for me. Both physically and emotionally after it is all said and done I've done so much thinking and growing as a person. It's all because of you. I've learned from my mistakes. The sad thing is that I have lost you because of them. If you ever find yourself thinking about me, know I am think about you. I love you.

[–]tigrrbaby 39 ポイント40 ポイント  (12子コメント)

thanks for transcription. i have to agree, there is basically no substance here. "I have been thinking about you, and I'm bummed we broke up. I am dwelling on the good stuff about you and it is making me super wistful. Maybe I'll get another chance if I tell you this in a complimentary way."

The vaguely referenced "details" are totally annoying.

[–]Baryshnik0v [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

"I didn't cheat on you, but the cause of our relationship ending is all my fault." what?

[–]PM_ME_UR_LIMERICKS 103 ポイント104 ポイント  (16子コメント)

How would one go about proving one has never cheated on their partner? Give a documented accounting of every single second spent apart?

[–]reiku_85 55 ポイント56 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Ultimately, you can't prove anything. They either believe you or they don't. If they disbelieve you to the point of you having to 'prove' it, they'll likely never believe you or will simply find something else they believe you've done further down the line.

Relationships are built on trust, once it's gone it doesn't take long for them to turn sour.

[–]ChiefFireTooth 50 ポイント51 ポイント  (5子コメント)

Well, for one thing, you would expect to see a little bit more interest into why her ex thought she cheated on him, if indeed she was innocent.

"I can't change what you heard" is about as damning as saying "I'm sorry that you think that I cheated on you because of dozens of people that told you that I did, but I'm not even gonna attempt to explain why those people said that, other than by swearing on my jeep"

[–]BobbyD1790 9 ポイント10 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I think the issue here is more about trying to prove why he should trust her when she says she didn't. I think the fact that she can't comment on lying about guys that she was hanging out with is more than enough.

If she is gonna hang out with a guy, at least own up to it, and if her boyfriend isn't comfortable with it, that's his call, but lying about it turns things back on her.

[–]ImFlawlessss 234 ポイント235 ポイント  (25子コメント)

How is this newsworthy?

[–]Twirrim 123 ポイント124 ポイント  (1子コメント)

This is on newsbeat, which is aimed more at teenagers than adults. While they do cover normal news and items, they throw in some more fluff pieces like this as well to keep up general interest.

[–]Tastyled 108 ポイント109 ポイント  (7子コメント)

Because it gets views and in turn ad revenue

[–]RobotPirateMoses 49 ポイント50 ポイント  (2子コメント)

If the news only talks about disasters, crime, terrorism, political stuff etc. -> "Ugh, why is the news always so depressing?"

If the news covers something a bit more lighthearted for once, to take a break from the things listed above -> "Ugh, how is this newsworthy?"

They can't win.

[–]dibs234 10 ポイント11 ポイント  (0子コメント)

[–]elhoffgrande 112 ポイント113 ポイント  (27子コメント)

I agree. No effort at communication should be scorned this way, I think. Even if he doesn't care to hear what is being said, being cruel is petty and serves no good. I feel for both these folks. You have to be in a lot of pain to act this way.

[–]yourenotfamanymore 13 ポイント14 ポイント  (20子コメント)

what?

she cheated on him and is still lying to him about it...

beyond that I think its an interesting dynamic that girls think its hilarious to share the messages that guys send them to laugh at or make fun of the guys but the dude can't post a joke about what a girl wrote to him?

[–]Mottonballs 69 ポイント70 ポイント  (8子コメント)

Probably the fact that a young girl who is (likely unknowingly) too emotionally immature for a committed relationship has cheated on her boyfriend, who has in turn decided to grade her hand-written apology letter as though he is some kind of teacher, and then publicly post it on social media to humiliate her.

Both people involved here aren't somebody I'd want to date. They're basically two dumb kids and for some reason people are eating it up like it's some kind of sophisticated justice.

[–]thechief05 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Probably because with age doesn't necessarily bring level headed views on relationships. Divorces get nasty.

[–]redy2rok 632 ポイント633 ポイント  (232子コメント)

[–]wasdennkommran 28 ポイント29 ポイント  (3子コメント)

I agree on the privacy part.

She took the time to write this

[–]Erodin 264 ポイント265 ポイント  (127子コメント)

I'm glad i'm not the only one that thinks this. He's being celebrated as some kind of hero, even in mainstream media...

Yes her full name wasn't mentioned. But everyone who knows him, will know exactly who that letter is from. That kind of public embarrassment/shame can be devastating for someone.

[–]heyellsfromhischair 323 ポイント324 ポイント  (100子コメント)

Idk imagine the embarrassment, shame, and devastation he felt when she cheated on him.

[–]GoodCatWarriorName 32 ポイント33 ポイント  (12子コメント)

She says she didn't, he implies that she did. Maybe she did, maybe she didn't, but there's no real evidence either way.

[–]Gayburn_Wright 129 ポイント130 ポイント  (73子コメント)

I hate cheating, and if she did she can fuck off. But that doesn't just automatically make posting that letter online okay.

[–]ProbablyanEagleShark 199 ポイント200 ポイント  (14子コメント)

I ... Disagree.

[–]evamvid 86 ポイント87 ポイント  (3子コメント)

You can't just go on the internet and disagree with someone like that!

You... You.... You monster!

[–]Xunderground 21 ポイント22 ポイント  (4子コメント)

I kind of agree with you, honestly. And I wish I didn't. Cheating is fucked up. It wrecks people. It wrecked my family, it's wrecked many friendships. It even wrecks the cheaters themselves sometimes. Sometimes someone makes a mistake and regrets it and it wrecks them. There's no winners in cheating.

However, I'm insensitive to cheaters. I think, honestly in my heart, that cheaters can change. I've seen it, but I also believe that if a guy or girl cheats, they deserve the public humiliation. That's one of the lowest things you can do.

[–]TriggerWarning595 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (1子コメント)

People can change, but the fact she is still unwilling to give him details or admit anything means she is not

[–]TheNorthComesWithMe 37 ポイント38 ポイント  (3子コメント)

I call this the law of Not Me Humor. It's funny that this happened. It's funny that I can read about this happening. It would be completely immoral if I did it, but I didn't so it's funny.

[–]Dahnhilla 25 ポイント26 ポイント  (0子コメント)

On the other hand she allegedly cheated on him, so I guess he thinks she deserves this.

[–]Roboticide 12 ポイント13 ポイント  (0子コメント)

But everyone who knows him, will know exactly who that letter is from. That kind of public embarrassment/shame can be devastating for someone.

I agree it's kind of embarrassing for a private letter to have been posted publicly, but everyone who knows him is already probably familiar with the drama, especially if it's because she allegedly cheated on him. Everyone they know, knows.

[–]redy2rok 12 ポイント13 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Don't get me wrong im sure she deserved something but this is shaming on a national level. It was very poorly written but generally during an emotional time you're not worried about grammar. I'm not trying to shame him just saying he shouldn't shame her

[–]ChiefFireTooth 77 ポイント78 ポイント  (12子コメント)

. She took the time to write this and deserves her privacy.

What? are you serious? I'd bet you've not read the letter. There is exactly 0% private content and 100% filler content that could have been generated by a bot and we wouldn't have been able to tell the difference. That, in fact, is the point of the joke: that the letter was such a subpar attempt at an apology that it doesn't even feel remotely personal or private, so why not grade it like a teacher would a shitty paper?

About the only piece of private information contained is that she drives a Jeep that she also uses for swearing that she never cheated on her boyfriend. Big whoop.

[–]nogravelforme 30 ポイント31 ポイント  (7子コメント)

I don't know why you feel this isn't 'private content'. Yes she doesn't mention her name or any information to identify it but he posted it on HIS twitter. That's the same thing as showing it to everyone you know (mutual friends included) and probably a shit ton of strangers. Even if he didn't expect it to go viral.

On top of that I would argue that it is in fact private content because she took the time to write down everything she was feeling and how she felt about their relationship looking back on it. Sure it might contain a shit ton of cliche and overused but that's often what people fall back on when they have to express something that's difficult to put to words.

Did she do him wrong (and/or cheat on him)? Probably. From the information we are given there is nothing indicating the apology isn't in fact genuine.

Does she deserve to be forgiven? Probably not. But at least she owed up to making mistakes and apologized. While there are so many people out there who would never do so.

If he decides she's not worth his time. Fine, don't read it. If you decide you want to humiliate and hurt her, fine. Make a joke about her letter and send it back to her.

But do you need to brag about your ultimate victory by taking her private message to you and showing it to the world?

She's probably a fucking bitch. They broke up. She's still in love with him and realised she fucked up and threw away something great. You already won mate. No need to cheapen your 'victory' by humiliating your ex in front of the entire world. Take the high road and let her live with the consequences of her actions. With the eternal 'could have been's.

If I ever break up with someone. And send them a text/letter/message to tell them I'm sorry. I sure as fuck hope no joker posts it online somewhere.

But oh yeah it's a bad letter so of course she deserves to have it posted online.

[–]Cheryltunt69 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Very well put. If I was ever cheated on I wouldn't be vindictive like this. If anyone asks I would tell them what happened but to share intimate messages between us or pictures? Hell no. No matter what happened between them, this girl took the time to apologize and put her feelings into words, and it's even hand written. It's not some half apologetic text message, it's an actual hand written letter with an apology which is more than most people get after they are cheated on.

No matter how bad the quality of the letter is it still doesn't make it acceptable for her to be mocked or made into a joke on the internet. She may have been a bitch or a cheater but clearly he isn't that much better of a person if he's posting this online

[–]ZAGA_Manalishi 26 ポイント27 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Yeah I'm not going to lie, I clicked on this article and got a good laugh out of it, but then immediately felt like a scumbag. I didn't even want to read the actual letter: way too personal. While cheating is clearly unacceptable, that doesn't give you the right to ridicule this private and emotional letter in which she pours her heart out. That would be bad enough, but then you go and post it on social media so that hundreds of thousands of people can ridicule it as well? Dick move, bro. Dick move...

[–]jakethealbatross 15 ポイント16 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Right. Funny between him and her and a couple of buddies. Not funny when the letter is on the BBC website.

She cheated on him... Showing respect for someone who does that is completely optional.

I don't think a semicolon would be appropriate; "The fact that he graded it and sent it back" is not a complete thought.

I look forward to reading about how it's the guy's fault for being petty, similar to the guy who made an Excel spreadsheet for every attempt to have sex with his wife.

[–]frankxanders 137 ポイント138 ポイント  (28子コメント)

I mean, him being petty is only his own fault. The kinder option would've been to simply toss his ex's letter, but I have to admit this is pretty harmless.

That excel spreadsheet guy was a whole other can of worms. Instead of talking to his wife about why he was unhappy, he made up a spreadsheet, emailed it to her, and then pulled a silent act. Super petty way to handle it. She took it to a whole other level by sharing it and getting the whole damn world involved though.

I highly doubt the spread sheet was his first attempt to talk about it

More like a last act

[–]LvS 9 ポイント10 ポイント  (0子コメント)

IIRC the spreadsheet was his reponse to her claiming that she wants sex often enough and definitely most of the time he tries.

[–]sweetdicksguys 8 ポイント9 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Thing about how long that guy went before he resorted to using a spreadsheet to track being rejected by his wife

[–]paperlion60 27 ポイント28 ポイント  (10子コメント)

You are assuming the spreadsheet guy did not talk to her about it first . Think of the level of frustration one has to go through to create a spreadsheet of same excuses over and over. My guess is that he mentioned it to her, and she never acknowledged it. That is a sad man who sought love and affection from someone who promised this. That being said, the spreadsheet was not necessary .

[–]Roboticide 18 ポイント19 ポイント  (2子コメント)

If it's the one thing that finally elicited a response after the presumptive attempts to talk about it, then yes, it was necessary.

[–]redroguetech 49 ポイント50 ポイント  (9子コメント)

The kinder thing would be to respond. It's a response, albeit passive aggressive (but also potentially more helpful than a long drawn out D- letter, or silence). Posting it to Twitter (with what I assume is a name) is just spiteful bullshit.

I know right? That was a juicy story when it dropped, and the comments were definitely polarizing. People justifying the husband's communication, others criticizing it. Some people outright dismissing the husband's needs, others rooting for the guy.

If there was ever a story that needed resolution, it's that one.

Pathetic.

[–]osheetwaddup 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (1子コメント)

My ex also used empty ambiguities to issue an apology when we broke up and he wanted to "befriend" me because he's a "compassionate" person. I found his apology insincere and more about him and preserving the self-image he had for himself as a white martyr liberal "fighting the tyranny that is trump" than it was directly addressing the problems at hand. "We both hurt each other." "There's too much hate in this world... Let's not turn that love into hate..." i want to vomit. It's a generic, valedictorian farewell speech of empty feel good sentiment you won't remember the next day because it didn't mean shit.

[–]UnWeonMas 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Why people treat that dude as a hero? The way she wrote that letter makes it disgusting that the guy doesn't care about it going viral. Or that he posted it online. It'd may be a fun joke or a spicy answer, but no need to make fun of that girl on the internet, she must be feeling terrible just cause a guy wanted to be a clown. Also, why does everyone thinks she cheated? there's no freaking evidence... and why is he asking for evidence that something didn't happened? that doesn't even make sense. And why is this news?! there's so much wrong with everything in this post.

This is horrible.

OK, so the girl may or may not have cheated on him. Only her and God knows the truth on that (or whatever higher level you may or may not believe in).

Guy gets the letter. He reads the letter. He then decides to mark up the letter. Then, shares the letter with folks online on a public setting AND THEN sends it to her. Now, whomever this girl was who tried to apologize to him - albeit potentially in a shady manner (I wasn't trying to read in detail as I wasn't involved in that relationship) is potentially even more humiliated.

If she never sent the letter, he'd never have closure. With her sending the letter, he now has "closure" on a much grander scale than probably even needed, as well as people judging his ex, potentially ridiculing her, and maybe even trying to track her down!

PLUS, lord knows if he was even faithful, caring, responsible....dude could have been a scumbag for all we know....but his thoughts are on display, and this woman, who shouldn't publicly respond, now may feel the pressure for responding to defend herself further.

I give the way we allow social media to consume us a F. This is disgusting. It's also this guy's fault as he could have just thrown it away from the jump or not put it on social media, as EVERYONE should know by now anything you post, especially unique, can be used elsewhere.

On the surface, it seems this guy is an asshole. But I don't have all the facts so I'll withhold final judgement.

However, employers google potential candidates before hiring and regardless of his grades at Stetson University, some HR people (predominantly women) will determine that he has failed life and won't be calling to set up an interview.

Interpreting the remarks at the bottom of the article, Newsbeat obtained this story from Nick and not his girlfriend. To me, that's the crucial thing. Breakups are hard, both sides are usually to blame and act like jerks through the whole process. But going public with your dispute in order to "win" is unconscionable. For me, that's the asshole move, not the letter.

[–]Celery_Stick_Figure 10 ポイント11 ポイント  (0子コメント)

FTA:

Nick says his ex needs to show reasoning when saying she ended up failing to keep the relationship working.

He also says she needs to back her claims up with proof, like saying she never cheated on him.

Prove a negative, Nick? Marks off for you for that one, teach.

I've read this letter before. Not the exact one, of course, but one almost exactly like it. It was from an emotionally abusive ex who cheated on me many times. The handwriting is even similar. She didn't love me, she loved having power over me. I'm glad to see this person wasn't so easily swayed, but I'm not sure it should have been shared with the world like this.
