Woman Moves To Same Neighborhood As Ex, Drama Ensues


This woman asked the folks of Reddit whether or not she was in the wrong for moving to the same neighborhood as her ex and his wife. If anything it sounds like the guy in this situation isn't quite over his ex lover, and his current partner is well aware of it. With that being said though, it's really just always likely to err on the side of dramatics if you end up moving into the same neighborhood as your ex. Hard to picture a situation where something unfortunate doesn't end up happening.

Text - AITA for moving into the same neighbourhood as my ex and his wife? Not the A-hole My engagement to "Matt" ended after I found out he was cheating on me with "Claire". He ended up marrying Claire after I broke up with him. During our engagement, we were looking to move into a new house. Everything was ready for us to move in, we just had to sign the paperwork. Matt ended up moving into the house with Claire.

2.

Text - This all happened 4 years ago, and I've moved on since. My fiancé andI were living in his house until two months ago. He decided he wanted to demolish and rebuild it, so we had to find another place to stay whilst it's being built. We ended up finding a house in the same neighbourhood as my ex and his wife. When Matt and I originally found the house he now lives in with his wife, I did ALL of the work finding it. I absolutely loved that house and I was more upset about not being able to m

Text - We've lived here for two months now. The first month was completely peaceful and I didn't see my ex or his wife even once. In the second month, I became more friendly with some of my neighbours and they introduced me to the other neighbours including Claire. That evening, she came to my house and went on a long rant about how I was trying to get Matt back and I was a stalker. After that, I started seeing Matt a lot and he wouldn't stop making conversation with me. Things got really heated

Text - Here's why I might be an AH, our lease is month to month so we could technically move as soon as we find a new place but I don't want to. I feel like they already stole one house from me, why should I give this one up too? I've also asked Matt, and even my fiancé has told him, to stop talking to me but I can't control what he does. AITA? Edit: I'm just going to clarify because every other comment seems to be mentioning it. I do not talk to Matt. I ignore him and keep doing whatever it is

Text - jinyuki_91 • 1d NTA - They don't own the neighborhood jc. Seems like 'Claire' is the one who can't move on. Probably insecure because she was once a third party. Claire's friends and family have now taken to social media to pressure me to move because l'm ruining a good marriage. If talking to an ex from 4 years ago especially when said party has moved on is something that can ruin a marriage...news flash honey it's not "good" at all. Reply 1 2.7k 3 ...

Text - katmck14 • 1d • Colo-rectal Surgeon [44] O 3 6 Awards NTA It sounds like Matt's not over you and Claire knows it. You are NOT obligated to move because they can't stand you being there. If he wanted to keep you he shouldn't have cheated, and if she didn't want a cheating husband she shouldn't have married a known cheater. This is 100% not your problem. Reply 11.0k ...

Text - CheerilyTerrified • 22h • Colo-rectal Surgeon [47] NTA I guess Claire is afraid of the old "If he'll cheat with you, he'll cheat on you thing". Just tell Claire's friends and family that unlike some you don't hook up with people in relationships. Ų Reply 68 3 ...

As long as you're not putting effort into getting back into his life or whatever, live where you want! If he continues to reach out, put your foot down and let him know you have no interest in having a friendship or any relationship with him. You already know he has cheating tendencies, don't let him drag yo

Simply tell him you don't want to talk to him and walk away. He'll get the message after a bit.

If you want to be angry at someone, direct it to my ex. Additionally, you MAY want to have a chat with 'Claire' about her insecurities.

Tumblr User Does The Math On Forging Literal Blood Sword


Man, it's unexpected threads like this that really spotlight just how lovably weird the world of Tumblr can get. We have some buds who end up quite literally running the numbers on what it'd actually take to craft a blood sword, cause why not? What else are you going to do with your free time? 

1.

Green - edwardspoonhands lizziekeiper 000 Verizon ? 9:02 PM O 100%| < Messages Ethan Details K So i calculated it. And it eould only take about 400 people to get enough iron to forge a steel longsword What U know how fantasy books talk about swords "forged with the blood of enemies"

Text - Well i calculated it out, and if u drainked about 400 adult men kf their blood, and extracted the iron from it, u would have enough for a longsword. Forged from the blood of your enemies That's pretty neat Ikr Text Message Send

Text - macaedh what the fuck ethan kvothbloodless I wish i had a context for this. But I really dont. pervocracy I was all ready to "um, actually" this, but, um, actually there's about 3-4 grams of iron in a person, which x400 is 1.2-1.6kg, which is a smallish but not unreasonable sword. So. Math checks out. maxiesatanofficial How would you extract the iron, though? The more practical solution would be to kill a mere hundred men, then mix 1 part blood with 3 parts standard molten iron, imo. Chea

Text - bemusedlybespectacled Or, you could just make the sword of iron, and then use the blood to temper the blade. squeeful 1.2 to 1.6 kilograms is a perfectly reasonable large sword. Your average longsword was 1.1-1.8 kg and I don't even remember if that's including the weight of the hilt, guard, and pommel or just the blade. Your more classic "knight sword" was a mere 1.1 kilograms on average; the blood of 400 men is more than enough. This is using the comparatively crappy metallurgy of medie

Text - Oe optimysticals So putting my thoughts in on this... because how could l not. So you've exsanguinated your 400 guys to get the iron for your sword. Cool. But now you have 400 bodies lying around. Why not put those to good use and cremate them. Use the carbon from those 400 bodies (you won't need all of them) and now you can make a nice mid-high carbon steel sword. Now you have a sword forged with the blood of your enemies AND strengthened with their bones. hedwig-dordt "high fantasy math

People's Biggest Flexes They Tell No One


Everyone's sense of achievement is a little bit different, but we've all done things we consider great, whether they were planned or totally accidental. You could be talking to someone for an hour and never know they once held the world record in Buck Hunt or if they're a double jointed. People do some amazing things, like these "I'll do it myself" moments in history.
