I scammed my husband into liking me… and I admitted it on our wedding day.

Admitted in my vows, actually, in front of all of our guests.

For me, it was love at first sight for my (now) husband. Not so much for him. I was his little sisters friend, strapped with braces and constant tween giggling. He was the older, much much hotter, couldn’t-care-less older brother just down the hall. I obviously had no shot.

Later, we met again through mutual friends, now both of age, no headgear. I was just as star struck, he was still just as cute, and this time I actually had a chance - I wasn’t going to blow it. I invited him to crash at my place after a friends birthday party and….

I had staged the place. I had casually left out a T-shirt of his favorite football team. You know, just tossed on the back of a chair. Oops! How did that get there? I left a CD of his favorite band on my nightstand, because obviously, that’s what any casual fan does. I love them too, duh! I had his favorite beer in the fridge. Yep, I 100000% drink this beer too. It doesn’t taste like piss water to me at all!

Was I a complete weirdo for doing this? Yes. Did it work perfectly? Also yes. It also made for perfect wedding vows.

His sister (a bridesmaid) was only a little miffed to find out I was using our hangouts as study sessions on her older brother. (Just kidding - she thought it was hilarious & knew we all thought he was cute).

ETA: to the people who think this is weird - 1. I already owned the shirt (local school, my dads shirt) & CD because I genuinely liked them, I just made sure they were visible. 2. I don’t care! I’m super into my husband, sue me.

Edit 2: woahhhh this is getting a lot of attention. Sorry so many of you seem to be offended by this! I definitely made this more dramatic for flair than it is, but I guess too much? It was just a shirt and a cd I already owned people! He thought it was funny, and we’ve been happily together for many years. Give the hate a rest!

So my wife’s going to a gala tonight — as her client’s “date.”

I’m 44 and my wife is 44. She works on an art advisory committee, so attending galas, events, and client meetings is part of her job. She often meets clients for coffee, lunch, or dinner, and I don’t always know the details and that’s completely normal because it’s part of her work. She’s always professional, transparent about her friendships, and I trust her judgment completely. Recently, she mentioned she’s going to a gala with a friend, S. He’s a wealthy client she met about a year ago, and they became friends professionally. She introduced me to him once, and he seems like a genuinely good person. He invited her as his “date” to this gala, and my wife said it’s fine. I did ask her though, if she’s actually going as a “date,” and she just laughed and said, “Date doesn’t always mean romantic.” She said it’s important for her she could get networking and meet new people. Then she smiled and said, “If I get into this gala next time, I won’t need to take that man with me, I’ll take you...

I accidentally started a fake relationship with my dentist’s nephew and now I have to bring him to my cousin’s wedding

I swear this isn’t as insane as it sounds. Or maybe it is. I don’t know anymore. So I had to get my wisdom teeth pulled last month. All four. It was horrible. I cried when they put the numbing stuff in. Not from pain, just vibes. The dentist was this sweet older guy, probably in his 60s, super gentle, gave dad energy. Anyway, after the whole thing I’m in the waiting room with a mouth full of gauze, looking like a bloated chipmunk and trying not to drool on myself. This guy walks in. Maybe 20-ish. Tall, curly hair, kind of goofy looking but in a hot way. He smiles at me and goes, “You look like you fought a squirrel and lost.” I flip him off. With love. Apparently he’s the dentist’s nephew. He was dropping off lunch or something, I wasn’t listening. I was trying to keep my face from leaking. He sits down and starts chatting with me while I wait for my ride. I don’t say much because again, gauze goblin. But I must’ve made an impression because later that night I get a message on Instagr...

A Cinematic Masterpiece: 'Halkara' Deserves More Recognition

So, the weekend is almost over and Sunday is always special to me. In a sense, I was always wandering, taking myself on a trip to the valley. This story is quite different and interesting. In the middle of my journey, I felt ready and motivated to write about it, so here it goes. This story is about a single movie that inspired me to write. I had no plans to watch a Nepali movie called 'Halkara,' which had recently been released. As I passed by midtown, I wasn't prepared to watch it, but I found myself at the ticket counter buying a ticket for myself. When I bought the ticket, there were only five people who had booked the show, and all the seats were empty. The show was scheduled to start at 12:30 pm, and I entered the hall. Finally, the movie started. I cannot describe how amazing the cinematography, storyline, characters, acting, and overall vibe of this movie were. I still can't believe that this movie didn't receive a good response from...
