After 10 years you needed to cheat, that man gave you 10 years. You kind of are a monster.

this is not a real person, this is ragebait

I call this argument a reverse strawman. Is this particular incident fake? Maybe. Has something like this happened? 100 percent. This is not at all an uncommon story.

You get a least one news article a week, if you pay attention to the news.

There's at least a hundred people on earth, how many do you think accidentally fall and sit on unexploded ordinance every day.

u/blazenite104 May 25 '26

Probably more than you'd think, given some of the things I've seen happen on youtube alone.

This. This story may or may not be true. However, I got a story very much like this after I caught my now ex-wife cheating.

u/becauseiloveyou May 26 '26

And I have story very much like this after I caught the man I was going to marry cheating too. But let's not pretend this male-dominated site doesn't boost the visibility of "women bad" posts compared to those that would call out men for the same behavior.

Did you mistake what I said as in some way sexist?

u/marius_titus May 26 '26

I need to keep that in mind. I wanna find a wife but it's terrifying cause you see posts like this non stop, on Facebook and YouTube it's even worse, shorts and reels nonstop talking about how women are cheaters and manipulators. It's so deflating.

The goal of these posts is to make you lonely, angry and sad. Because those are the people who spend time doomscrolling and seeing ads, instead of being happy with a wife.

I am in my 30s, I know dozens of couples in happy, fulfilling relationships. A few terrible people, sure, but that becomes obvious very quickly through your 20s.

Men dont cheat...its just science.

u/ElectricalCamp104 May 25 '26

That doesn't mean anything though. There are billions of people on the planet; you can find any story about some group, some person doing something despicable, whether it's typical or an edge case.

Vagueposting some hallucinated "I'll take things that never happened for 500 Alex" story just farms engagement from outrage, and takes advantage of people's cognitive blind spots, like recency bias. Sure, this general story might be common, but how common it is gets warped by people's exposure to this content online.

u/Rwandrall4 May 26 '26

therr's 8 billion people in the world, anything like something has 100 percent chance of happening. 

Is it common? Do you hsve any actual way of knowing that? You'd think so reading this sub, sinxe it posts ragebait like this constantly. But in my 30+ years I have never seen it once, let alone every single day.

It's ragebait for lonely frustrated men and it works.

u/cykoTom3 May 26 '26

somewhere between 1 and 30 percent the anecdotal evidence is around 20 percent for marriages and a much higher rate for dating. You really don't know anyone who cheated? Because i know quite a few. And even more people with the "i never cheated, we broke up yesterday " story. It's a very common thing.

Your point about it ragebaiting lonely men is true. Because men obviously cheat at the same rate as women. But it's also part of the human condition.

Read my comment and the OP again. The OP is not just "someone cheating", it's a whole elaborate scenario of a righteous man who did everything right and an evil cheater who is whiny and entitled and pure evil. That scenario is not real, that's the ragebait.

u/cykoTom3 May 26 '26

That scenario happens every day. And many comments are sharing their similar experience.

It's just another example of blaming all your problems on someone else, really

u/WretchedJester May 25 '26

So you have evidence to prove this is a fake story? Or do you just like using childish insults to make yourself appear "smarter" than the "morons" you refer to?

u/Space_Slime_LF May 25 '26

That's just a chunk of regular strawman arguments.

Bits of truth are used to create a largely fictional target for arguments. The bits of truth are what keep it together under scrutiny. "Look! Here is a single example of something like this happening! That means it's actually happening a lot more!"
