Best grounding solution for bathroom vanity light in 1950's house
TL:DR what's my least worst option for grounding? My 1950's florida house has rigid metal conduit that provides ground to old round junction box behind vanity light. All the electrical outlets/light are grounded via conduit only. My contractor installed an exhaust fan with romex into the box with a ground wire attached to a screw the come out of front of box. I'm hoping it's a proper ground screw, but I can't actually see the head because he buried it under drywall mud. It's hard to even see the screw. I was waiting on the light fixture so he didn't install it. I had to dig out the mounting ear screw holes from behind excess drywall mud. They seemed to be at 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock in my before pictures, but are now at 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock so it seems the mud ring can be rotated or turned or maybe he replaced it?? the mounting holes work at any position to connect to mounting plate, so that doesn't seem to affect me. The new light fixture has a metal mounting plate/strap that covers the box and connects via 2 metal screws. It also has a hole that may or may not be tapped that says GND and has 2 dimples facing the hole in mud ring next to it. but the hole seems to be too small for a standard #10-32 ground screw. The mounting ears still have some thin layer of drywall mud on front, but the holes themselves seem like a good connection after i ran a screw through a few times. So what's my best option? for safety? for code? Assume the mounting strap provides enough of a ground and leave the ground wire from the fixture unattached to anything? somehow attach the fixture ground wire to mounting plate? Cut the romex wire ground and hope there's enough wire to wire nut the fixture ground wire in with the 2 cut halves? the problem being it seems pretty taut. something else? Thanks for any help. submitted by /u/madmax988 to r/AskElectricians [link] [comments]

Finally finished my half bathroom glow up. Every single thing you see was a DIY including the wall mural and the painting!
This little bathroom felt so forgotten and builder grade for years. I finally decided to go for it. Here is what I changed: swapped the vanity, hardware and lights, painted the ceiling black, hand painted the mural directly on the wall, made the painting hanging above the toilet myself and put together a mood board before starting so I could visualize it all. Really happy with how it all came together and glad I took the leap. Happy to answer any questions! submitted by /u/Top_Leader_4201 to r/interiordecorating [link] [comments]

I found the original wall sconces from my 1929 bathroom on eBay but they're $800.
That's a fuck ton of money for me, but they've been rewired and are in excellent condition. Should I still go for it? The previous owners installed some stupid trendy sconces that I'm pretty sure are upside down. (They look similar to this, only facing upwards, which collects a lot of dust inside the lamp.) Except for the vanity and medicine cabinet, the bathroom is otherwise original. This photo was taken in another unit that still has the original sconces. Also, it should be noted the sconces are the sole lighting source for the entire bathroom and I'm not sure how bright these are. They don't fit very large bulbs. EDIT: So they're Lightolier, which was apparently a premium brand. submitted by /u/CenturyCondo to r/centuryhomes [link] [comments]

My roommate is pregnant with my Ex’s Baby
I am NOT OOP. OOP is u/bitchesbebonkers6 Originally posted to r/ComfortLevelPod My roommate is pregnant with my Ex’s Baby Trigger Warnings: possible grooming, incest, racism My Bf and roommate planned a "surprise” that turned out to be baby supplies: February 17, 2026 My sanity feels like it's spiraling and I have finally convinced myself to come to reddit for the first time. Comfort level pod has always been a channel I’ve adored and love listening to ,so I know y'all got the best advice and I'm ready to hear all of it. Okay, so as y'all know, this past weekend was Valentine's Day. For the past month, me (F24) and my roommate Jackie F25 have been arguing and butting heads because we live in a 2 bedroom apartment and she just found out she was pregnant and claims that she doesn't know who the father is. But she basically wants me to either move out or room in the living room until I can afford to move out. We have lived together for 3 years. She's best friends with my stepsister F26 We're not super close, we're not best friends, but we were close enough to move in together, if you get the idea. Okay, so this past Thursday I got home early from work around, and when I walked in I was just settling down, about to make something to eat, when I see my boyfriend walking toward the door like he's about to leave the apartment. And I say Jaden? M25 and I ask what he was doing here since I had just spoken to him and he said he was on his way to work. He works on the opposite side of town, so he would have no reason to be on this side of town unless he was seeing me, because he also lives on the opposite side of town. He quickly stops and goes, Oh hey babe," and tries to hug me. Well, he's my boyfriend, so obviously I hugged him. And I go What are you doing here? And that's when Jackie comes out she says, "Oh my God, we didn't ruin the surprise, did we?" I was completely dumbfounded. And said, "What do you mean?" And she says, Well, Jaden had a pretty big gift that he couldn't hide in his apartment, so he wanted to hide it here for you for V Day. that was fair because Jaden does live in a studio apartment where he has to share a bathroom and has a Husky, and his place is pretty occupied. So it was a good enough story for me to believe. I just laughed and said I couldn't wait to see it and made a joke about how now I have to up my game on gifts this year because usually we do simple stuff. For context, me and my boyfriend have been together for 2 1/2 years. He rushed out saying that he had to get to work. Everything was going by normal. comes Valentine's Day Me and my bf had planned on doing gift exchanges at my apartment and then going out for dinner and then a movie later on. So he comes over and immediately I'm like, "Me first, me first, because I'm always so excited to give him gifts. I give him a pair of Jordans that he had been constantly talking about, and a gaming headset and monitor. He starts talking about how happy he is and Then comes my turn. I get a bag with Pandora on it and I open it. It's a necklace. Now usually I'm not one for material things, but I will mention that later on after all this happened I did look up the necklace, and the total of this necklace was only 25 bucks and that was just for the pendant. He bought his own chain off Amazon, which was 10 bucks. So I smile and I say thank you, and there was just kind of an awkward silence because I was waiting. And he goes, “What? Why are you looking at me like that? And I laughed and said I know you still have that big gift in Jackie's room. I never saw you take it out, and I can still see it in her room. For context, there is a really big Amazon box in her room that was still taped up, never opened, in the corner of her room. So I assumed obviously that was my gift. He laughs and goes, Oh yeah, that they sent me the wrong thing, so I'll have to take it back. I said, What? What were you trying to get? What did they send? He says that he meant to get me a gaming chair, which is completely off topic considering I don't game. I've never been into gaming. What I actually asked for was a vanity or new acrylic paints. He got really weird. So I said What's in the box? because I can tell when he's lying and it just did not add up. He kept saying I don't know. It's supposed to be a gaming chair, but I have a feeling it's not a gaming chair. I got up and walked into Jackie's room, and I ask her, Do you know what's in that box? It was very clear she felt caught off guard and goes, Well, obviously it's your Valentine's Day gift. So I said, "Let's open it. I open it and low and behold, not a gaming chair. It's an Amazon box that had obviously been retaped over and had multiple smaller packages inside. As I'm opening these packages, it's baby clothes, bottles, diapers basically everything and anything that was baby related. hundreds of dollars’ worth of stuff. So I look at my boyfriend, who is now standing in Jackie's doorway, and I'm just like, What is this? What's going on? Why would you go out of your way to give her all this stuff? I'm so confused. Like when I tell you I was stuck, I was stuck. I had no idea what to do. I'm looking around and they're both looking so dumbfounded and guilty. I asked What is going on? And that's when Jaden just decides to go, "This isn't working. I think we need to end this." He grabs the gifts that I gave him and walks out the door. I start walking behind him. He quickly holds the headphones up in the air because I'm 5'2" and he's a little over 6 feet tall and says, No, it's a gift. No take backs, like we're fucking five. I said, Okay, snatch the box of shoes out of his other hand, and walk back to my apartment, close and lock the door. I walk into Jackie's room. I apologize for the outburst and I just say, Why was he here the other day? Why was he coming out of your room? What is going on? Just tell me the truth. I'm not going to lie, I had been thinking about that day in the back of my mind, but I just didn't put two and two together that they would have been cheating on me. He's never given me a reason to think he would cheat on me. I trusted him. And she goes, with the most blank expression, Jaden is my baby's father. I don't know what got into me. Usually I'm not someone to shut down or not express myself, but I literally had nothing to say to her. I just said, Hope it was worth it, went back to my room, closed the door, and locked it. I smoked myself into a coma. Woke up a few hours later. She was gone. I could tell she had packed up a lot of her clothes. When I get on my phone, the first thing I see is that I've been added to a group chat with Jackie, Jaden, my stepsister, and my stepmother all telling me that Jaden ended the relationship because he needed someone more secure like Jackie. Secure? I've been paying 70% of the rent for the past year. Jackie can't keep a job for the life of her, and I've been picking up all the pieces, putting food on the table. That's hilarious. Secure? More like a headache. I just couldn't believe what I was seeing. Not only was it the group chat, but it was also all of them privately messaging me about how we can work through this as a family and that Jaden and Jackie deserve to be happy and that my dad is going to help me find a new place of my own so Jaden can move into the apartment and they can start their family. I said, So my dad knows about this? My stepmom goes, No, but he knows that it's time you and Jackie split apart and you retain your independence as a woman. Long story short, I left the group. It is now Tuesday. I haven't seen or heard from Jackie, Jaden, or my stepmom since. Part of me wants to reach out to my dad because I know he probably doesn't know the full story, but I don't know where to go from this. Any advice? Relevant Comments Commenter 1: Tell your dad the truth. Your step mom and her daughter are shady as hell. Your ex is a loser who put your health at risk. Get tested. I’d tell everyone the truth. Those two should be ashamed of themselves. How pathetic is the other woman to accept such garbage treatment from him. Gross. OOP: Haven't been the closest to my Dad since the divorce but I did reach out to my mom and She has my back 100% and she currently lives a few hours from me And plans on coming down this weekend. And were gonna talk to my dad together, He has had a history of taking my stepsisters/moms Side so it'll be good to have my mom and her partner on my side. OOP responds to multiple comments about taking her roommate to the court for the rent she covered, and collect all documents to provide she covered the amounts and the lease OOP: I thought about this, but do you think I could actually fight it considering how long it’s been? + Collecting evidence as we speak + Yes I am on the lease we both are. Commenter 2: I would suggest you JUST pay your portion of the rent and everything else until you get out of there. Start looking for a new place and talk to your Dad. Tell him you need a father daughter lunch and then spill your guts on everything. Especially the part that your step monster and stepsister are in on the betrayal and siding with the traitors. OOP: Looking into it. Already Contacting landlord regarding Jackie dude to the fact she can’t afford her 1/2 of the bills and our manager as already scheduled an apartment walkthrough and New updated paystubs and Occupants (her baby). Hopefully we can get this All figured out but Jackie already tried reaching out a weeks ago apparently letting my landlord know I would be moving out at the end of our lease in May.....(which is NEVER was Informed my her) meaning she’s been planning all this be the whole fucking time Commenter 3: I'd laugh in his face make him doubt the paternity with all the guys I'd seen her take home. OOP: Which is hilarious considering She claims they've been Together for a year, But she just broke up with her Bf 4 months ago but 20 week pregnant. OOP on her stepmother and Jackie’s relationship OOP: Before my parents’ divorce Jackie and my step sister were best friends when my dad married my stepmom Jackie Soon became more like A 3rd sister....... Bad home life always With us, always Around. Apparently my stepmom sees Jackie more as a daughter than me. Commenter 5: The way your stepmom and stepsister is okay with this means YOUR STEPMOM MIGHT DID THE SAME THING TO YOUR MOM when she’s still with your dad. You know, mistresses can tell each other apart. Even if you’re not close to your dad, tell him the truth. Don’t let them twist the narrative by making themselves a victim of their own story. Ask a lawyer about your lease, ask about your options regarding their slandering (if they went to tell everyone lies about your relationship with your ex) and don’t let them walk into you like that. Go to therapy too because this is a massive betrayal, disrespect, and disappointment. OOP: Funny how you Got everything 100% correct. My Stepmom and dad very much did get married after a 2 year affair behind my mom’s back resulting in my stepmom getting pregnant with my Younger Half-sister (like history just repeating itself at this point.) Which is why I’m so blessed to have my Mother and her partner on my side. My Little brother (WHOLE brother) is even looking to move into the building with his Buddies For safety reasons. Update #1 (small update): February 19, 2026 (two days later) Okay, I just want to thank everyone for the advice on my last post. I did want to add some context for those who were confused. Yes, my stepmom and my dad had an affair while he was married to my mom for two years. She found out she was pregnant, and that’s when my dad suddenly decided he wanted to “step up” and be a great dad just not to me and my brother. Only to my stepsister and Baby sister (26F and 7F). And yes, my mom is still very much in my life. She lives a few hours away with her partner. There’s distance, but she’s always been there for me. Through all of this, my little brother (22M) has really had my back. I’ve had to stop him from confronting Jaden a few times, but he’s been my support system and has been crashing on my couch for safety reasons. My mom is coming into town so we can talk to my dad and get this lease situation handled. My landlord is doing a room inspection and asking for updated pay stubs and employment verification, which I can provide. I know Jackie is going to struggle with that because she only works 15 hours a week. And Jaden’s only works 25. When I first found out she was pregnant a month ago, she told me she was 10 weeks. She’s super skinny like cheerleader skinny so I couldn’t even tell. I later found out she might actually be 20 weeks. My stepmom said 25. My boyfriend said 21. So clearly somebody is lying. After talking to my brother, even though I don’t want to, I think it might be best for me to move even if it’s just to another building. I don’t like them knowing exactly where I live. Now about the monitor and headset he took. I had one of my male friends reach out to meet up and get it back. He sent pictures both were clearly used, and very obviously looked like his dog chewed up the headset. At that point I said, you know what? You want to break $300 worth of gaming stuff? Fine. I went on Facebook, joined a local moms/selling group, and sold almost everything from that box. I made my $300 back. I told my friend to let Jackie and Jaden know they didn’t have to worry about the $300 anymore because I already got it back. Apparently they went crazy banging on my door while I wasn’t home. (Jackie didn’t take her keys). They were yelling that there was $800 worth of stuff in there. I price-checked it maybe $500 max. But I didn’t care about $500. I just wanted my $300 back, so I lowballed it and sold it. I kept the car seat (because I know it’s mandatory when leaving the hospital) and the pump supplies. Her baby shower is in a few weeks, and my friend joked about regifting it To her as a joke🤣. Yeah, I know Its petty. I’m mad. Call me bitter, I really don’t care anymore. She was also behind on her car payments. I had been helping her because she didn’t want her parents to know and said she’d be embarrassed. I didn’t pay it this month and I’m not helping next month either. They even tried to charge my card, and she requested it I blocked it immediately. Apparently she’s been telling my landlord I plan on moving out in May, which I never said. So that’s fun. I’m hoping to have another update Monday after we talk to the landlord, and my mom gets here so we can handle everything. This whole situation has put a dent in my life and I’m just ready to move on. I promise you that man ain’t cute enough to be tripping over. I’m good off him. Thanks again for the advice, Reddit. P.S. I’m not 100% sure about small claims court. I know how dramatic she is and how dragged out that could get. I don’t have the time or energy for that right now. As long as she agrees to move out, I’m good with how it ended. She can have him. She was never a sister to me, and evidently he was never my man. Relevant Comments Commenter 1: She is not paying her rent or car payment, so who does she expect to pay the bills? Have you talked to your Dad? OOP: Nope apparently my stepmom and stepsister had been helping her as well. Before she broke up with her bf he paid her car note. No I plan on talking to him This weekend. I've went no contact so far he has not attempted to reach out either. Commenter 2: The main question is: Is it really his child? Don't worry, Karma will be knocking soon OOP: No clue and I really don't care at this point it doesn't make a difference either way he cheated they both betrayed me and took advantage of my trust. But who knows because she jus broke up with her bf a few months ago. But considering she's claiming to be over 20 weeks....idk Commenter 3: Is roommate related to step mom? Like why is stepmother soooooo invested in taking this girl and ex boyfriends side? Something ain't right... OOP: Both Jackies mom and My stepmom were friends in Hs/also found out they were both pregnant around the same time so My stepsister and Jackie grew up Together After idk what all happened, but she has drugs problems and my stepmom felt obligated to look over her. Didn't wanna add that bit, but it feels necessary. Commenter 4: Good for you for moving in but why were you basically bankrolling her life? You were literally paying for everything. Grow a backbone next time. OOP: I do have a backbone if I may add. And she was considered "Family" I've known her for 10 years now and Ik her background. Ik She what was going through that's all I’m gonna say. Not here to blast all her problems but I really did Feel Obligated as a "friend" and roomie to help he, same as my stepsister. So u saying to grow a backbone is crazy. I immediately ended it and Moved on the moment I found out all this crazy shit. Ik it doesn't seem like it but at one point she was actually a good friend and he was a Good bf. keyword on WAS. I don't let things drag out u get 1 chance and it's a Wrap. So take it as you will 😊 Commenter 5: Great update. Get the locks changed, get her off the lease. Get a doorbell camera and a new credit card. Put her stuff in garbage bags and drop it at his studio apartment. They are both losers and they deserve each other. OOP: Already working on switching Banks. And yes I do have a ring camera that's how ik They were banging at my door while I wasn't home. I melted and documented that plus all the shit and insults they were yelling at door. And my Brother as a witness bc he was at my apartment when this Shit happened, and they tried kicking in my door till my brother opened the door. Update #2: February 23, 2026 (four days later) Okay, I know a lot of you have been waiting for an update, so I’m just going to get straight to the point. Every since my last post I’ve been getting nonstop Insults thrown at me from my stepsister and Jackie They've also made multiple post About me And stepsister Said She was disowning me and that me and my brother "just didn't make the cut". Saturday, I invited my dad out to eat at a local place we used to go to when I was a kid. It was just supposed to be me and him, but my mom was there too. I didn’t tell him ahead of time that she would be there. I did, however, ask him not to bring my stepmom because I wanted us to really touch base and because I needed some life advice. At first, he tried to reschedule, but I pushed enough to get him to agree to come. This was a conversation that needed to happen, and it had to happen while my mom was in town. Well, when he showed up, he brought my stepmom anyway. As they were approaching the table, my stepmom was already making comments about how glad she came because I had “ambushed” him by having my mom there. I ignored her and told my dad I was glad he could make it and that we really needed to talk about my living situation with Jackie. Before I could even continue, he started onset how it’s not fair how I’ve been treating Jackie, that I’ve been mean to her, and a bunch of other off-the-wall comments that I’m assuming my stepmom and step sister fed him. So I told him everything from Valentine’s Day up until now. At first, he was quiet, like he was trying to take everything in. Meanwhile, my stepmom kept trying to jump in and tell her side of the story. Eventually, my dad said he needed to go to the bathroom. He was in there for about 30 minutes. During that time, my mom absolutely went in on my stepmom. She didn’t just bring up my situation , she brought up the divorce and how she let this woman ruin her marriage, but she wasn’t going to let her ruin my life too. My mom isn’t loud or dramatic, so I was surprised to see her this way even during the divorce I didn’t see her this angry. My stepmom, on the other hand, just doesn’t know when to shut up. She acts like because she has the marriage and the kids, she’s “won” someone sided battle or something. When my dad finally came out, his eyes were red like he’d been crying. I haven’t seen him like that since the divorce. He hugged me tightly and said he was sorry. That’s when my stepmom stood up and said, “Sorry for what? Your daughter has a lot of growing up to do.” And that’s when my mom told her to shut the fuck up. My dad then said he couldn’t believe all of this was happening under his nose and that he wished I had reached out sooner. But truthfully, even though I didn’t tell him the full story before, I had tried calling and texting him. I mentioned that in some of the comments. I didn’t really get anything back until I pressured him to meet and even then, he still brought my stepmom after I specifically asked him not to. Anyway, that was Saturday morning. I didn’t hear from my dad or stepmom after that. Saturday night, my mom came to my apartment. She’s always been good with finances, so we worked out my budget and started looking at apartments closer to my job. A lot of people asked why I don’t just move closer to my mom, but she lives in a pretty rural area with her partner. I still do online schooling, and my job is really beneficial, and I can’t afford to lose it rn. We got everything figured out. My mom boxed up the baby stuff I hadn’t sold the car seat, the breast pump, a few onesies, and a box of diapers and we dropped it off at Jaden’s apartment. I didn’t see him. I didn’t knock. My mom just left the box at the door, knocked, and walked away. Our landlord did the inspection, and everything came back good on my end. Jackie failed to provide pay stubs or paperwork and has completely ghosted the landlord I think she even blocked the number. They were in the process of evicting her. My mom’s partner was kind enough to offer to pay off the rest of my lease. Thank God. But then Monday morning happened. (this morning) It turns out my stepmom paid to have Jackie’s name removed from the lease before she could be evicted so she could “have a clean start” with her baby. He’s also planning to pay my first month’s rent and deposit for whichever apartment I choose.(or so he claims Doubt it'll happen) This wasn’t what I expected at all, but it’s what happened. On top of that, my dad THEN agreed to co-sign for a 2 bed apartment Jackie and Jaden can move in. My dad makes six times the rent, and Jaden only makes two times, so with my dad co-signing, it works out. I wasn’t thrilled about how all of this happened, but in my head all I heard was: I don’t have to pay for anything. So I signed the papers and went over everything with my landlord and my mom. My mom isn’t happy about it. She feels like this is just enabling them. I asked my dad why he’s being so nice to her and why he still calls Jaden his son. He kept referring to Jaden like he’s his responsibility and that he has to take care of him like tf? For WHAT reason? Jaden has parents. And his parents are well off. Fun fact: my mom actually reached out to Jaden’s parents over the weekend. Turns out they knew he was with Jackie, and apparently I’m “not wife material. and not "Dominican enough For their Family.... Jaden is Dominican My mother is black. My dad is Biracial white/black Stepmom/Stepsis/Jackie are Latina In a way, my dad seems numb to all of this. I haven’t really felt the support I need from him, but honestly, I kind of expected that. When it comes to Jackie and Jaden, they’re two peas in a pod and they deserve each other. Oh, and another fun fact: Jaden’s parents are gonna work on paying off Jackie’s car because his car is a piece of shit and they “need something reliable for the baby.” It’s wild how all this money suddenly appears when it benefits them. Where was all this help when I was the one struggling and helping her? When I was barely making it? It was my mom helping me. Advising me. Doing my budget. My dad was silent. And now suddenly everyone has money and support to throw around. No one’s checked on me or asked me how I feel like my boyfriend cheated on me my roommate ain't close friend got pregnant by him why am I the one being called crazy why is everyone just looking over the fact that he cheated she betrayed my trust this is fucking crazy. It’s all about Jackie and making sure she's not stressed out from her pregnancy. Crazy Mention, but I Hooked up with Tatis("Jackie") fine ass brother and It was a funny as hell Talking shit about you hoes after Cracking.🤣✌🏾 And no there were no souls tied But He was a muncher.🤣✌🏾 Shout out to Dearah and Tati since you wanna Stalk my Post😘 Edit just found out Her due date is Mid-April......so you can go ahead and do the math with that Relevant Comments Commenter: Why is your dad paying for Jackie and Jaden. Neither one are his children, and it seems he didn't really even know what going on. It seems to me the stepmother is making him do this just to spite you OOP: trust me he knows what’s going on, He’s a grown ass man if he’s gonna allow that bitch To control his life that on him. Update #3: April 13, 2026 (over 1.5 months later) I’m gonna keep this brief because I’m honestly done with this situation and want nothing to do with this crazy, weird ass shit anymore. First off, thank y’all for all the advice. I even saw you guys covered it on the pod, and I really did take everything into consideration. I also had someone DM me saying Jackie made a post on here lying about the whole situation. The account was deleted by the time I saw it, so I have no way of knowing if it was actually her. These past couple of weeks have been the most peaceful my life has been in a while. I moved into my new apartment, and no one except my brother and my mom’s side knows where I live. And no, my dad didn’t give me a dime ,but my mom’s partner really showed up for me when I needed it most. Jaden and Jackie’s apartment didn’t get approved, even with my dad as a cosigner 🤣. They had to work things out with the current landlord, pay extra, and add themselves back onto the lease. So yeah… they’re now living in my old apartment. Also, when Jackie’s brother got his state refund, he gave me $1,000 for everything I dealt with because of his sister. We’ve gone on three dates since then, just taking things slow and enjoying the friendship. Now about the pregnancy Jackie had been lying about her dates this whole time. Over Easter weekend, she had an emergency C-section. The baby is healthy and so is she, and from what I’ve heard, she’s recovering well. Jaden broke up with her three hours after the baby was born. During the delivery, Jackie made Jaden wait in the hallway and had my stepsister in the room instead. Even after the baby was born, she still didn’t want Jaden in there. When his mom showed up and asked why he wasn’t in the room, it turned into an argument. Jackie finally let him come in, but he took one look at the baby and left the hospital. He ghosted her until it was time for her and the baby to go home. My stepsister ended up bringing her home, and Jaden has been MIA ever since. After all of this, my stepsister of all people called me apologizing and told me everything that happened. Jackie’s baby looks exactly like my dad. Edit: I am not in Contact with my dad/stepmom/Jackie for the past couple Weeks. Only reason my Stepsister was able to contact me is bc she was reaching out my bff About me Getting Contact with her asap and Thats When she told me what all went down. Relevant Comments Commenter 1: Oh. That was an unexpected twist. But if the baby is your dad’s that explains a lot of things on why he was behaving how he was. Guilt can be a big driving force. But also, can I just say: the cheater got cheated and I think it’s delicious karma and oh so funny. 😂 How is your step mom taking all this? OOP: Literally no idea😂I’m no Contact with her😂 I only know What my Stepsister and Circle tell me. But I do no My dad tried reaching out to my Mom for "advice" my Mom Didn’t Know what advice or what He needed but she quickly reminded him of where there Stood and hung up that phone😂. Damn That probably was the confession🤣. Commenter 2: And also his family that was ok with him cheating because she was Latina. Bet they loved this plot twist. OOP: Which is hilarious because my Stepsister Sent me a Pic of their baby and When I tell you that baby Took ALL my dad features, its hilarious. OOP on the baby looking like her dad's OOP: Bingo√ When you look at my dad He visually has more Black features then, Including his complexion. My dad has light Hazel eyes And 3c hair. Both Jackie and Jaden Have Brown eyes and Naturally Straight and 1C hair. The baby eyes aren’t exactly Hazel but they DEF aint Brown the baby has pretty bright eyes and When comparing the photo to my little Brother they Looked almost identical besides the complexion. And Curly head of dark Brown hair and complexion is darker than Both Jackie and Jaden who are both considered a lighter complexion. Commenter 3: So wait…how long has your step-sister been in your fathers’ realm? If it’s around nine years he could have been grooming Jackie? Your poor brother too! OOP: My moms and dad divorced When I was in middle school. Jackie and my Stepsister were Always together same bus route, Classes, Sports, Neighborhood ALWAYS around. Commenter 4: So she picked a fight with Jaden because she knew that he wasn’t the baby daddy?! Lawd jeezus OOP: Jaden’s Mom was basically calling Jaden a bad dad for not being In there with her and Jaden didn’t Like that comment and They went back and forth, that’s When Jackie Allowed Jaden to Come meet the baby to Stop the argument. Commenter 5: Would love to hear your stepmom left your dad and he had to leave the house and move in with Jackie to take care of their new child. He will live in shame while Jackie's parents will be fully disgusted in more ways than one. It will not surprise me if they completely abandon her after this. What a mess your dad and Jackie has made. Jaden is a pos too but at least he was able to get out of child support and ghost the whole thing.. maybe this chaos will teach him that being a cheater is never worth the drama/shame/hurting others. OOP: Her parents Have ALWAYS been in and out of Jackies life due to addiction problems in the past. Doubt they’ll step up but only time will tell.

My Bf and roommate planned a "surprise” that turned out to be baby supplies
This is a repost sub. I’m not the Original OP (OOP) OOP: u/Bitchesbebonkers6 Published on: r/ComfortLevelPod Previous BORU: BORU-1 Story is: ONGOING Story timeline Main Post: February 17, 2026 Update 1: February 19, 2026 Update 2: February 23, 2026 Update 3: April 13, 2026 [New Update] Main Post February 17, 2026 My Bf and roommate planned a "surprise” that turned out to be baby supplies My sanity feels like it's spiraling and I have finally convinced myself to come to reddit for the first time. Comfort level pod has always been a channel ive adored and love listening to ,so I know y'all got the best advice and I'm ready to hear all of it. Okay, so as y'all know, this past weekend was Valentine's Day. For the past month, me(F24) and my roommate Jackie F25 have been arguing and butting heads because we live in a 2 bedroom apartment and she just found out she was pregnant and claims that she doesn't know who the father is. But she basically wants me to either move out or room in the living room until I can afford to move out. We have lived together for 3 years. She's best friends with my stepsister F26 We're not super close, we're not best friends, but we were close enough to move in together, if you get the idea. Okay, so this past Thursday I got home early from work around, and when I walked in I was just settling down, about to make something to eat, when I see my boyfriend walking toward the door like he's about to leave the apartment. And I say Jaden? M25 and I ask what he was doing here since I had just spoken to him and he said he was on his way to work. He works on the opposite side of town, so he would have no reason to be on this side of town unless he was seeing me, because he also lives on the opposite side of town. He quickly stops and goes, Oh hey babe," nd tries to hug me. Well, he's my boyfriend, so obviously I hugged him. And I go What are you doing here? And that's when Jackie comes out she sayss, "Oh my God, we didn't ruin the surprise, did we?" I was completely dumbfounded. And said, "What do you mean?" And she says, Well, Jaden had a pretty big gift that he couldn't hide in his apartment, so he wanted to hide it here for you for V Day. that was fair because Jaden does live in a studio apartment where he has to share a bathroom and has a Husky, and his place is pretty occupied. So it was a good enough story for me to believe. I just laughed and said I couldn't wait to see it and made a joke about how now I have to up my game on gifts this year because usually we do simple stuff. For context, me and my boyfriend have been together for 2 1/2 years. He rushed out saying that he had to get to work. Everything was going by normal. comes Valentine's Day Me and my bf had planned on doing gift exchanges at my apartment and then going out for dinner and then a movie later on. So he comes over and immediately I'm like, "Me first, me first, because I'm always so excited to give him gifts. I give him a pair of Jordans that he had been constantly talking about, and a gaming headset and monitor. He starts talking about how happy he is and Then comes my turn. I get a bag with Pandora on it and I open it. It's a necklace. Now usually I'm not one for material things, but I will mention that later on after all this happened I did look up the necklace, and the total of this necklace was only 25 bucks and that was just for the pendant. He bought his own chain off Amazon, which was 10 bucks. So I smile and I say thank you, and there was just kind of an awkward silence because I was waiting. And he goes,"What? Why are you looking at me like that? And I laughed and said I know you still have that big gift in Jackie's room. I never saw you take it out, and I can still see it in her room. For context, there is a really big Amazon box in her room that was still taped up, never opened, in the corner of her room. So I assumed obviously that was my gift. He laughs and goes, Oh yeah, thatthey sent me the wrong thing, so I'll have to take it back. I said, What? What were you trying to get? What did they send? He says that he meant to get me a gaming chair, which is completely off topic considering I don't game. I've never been into gaming. What I actually asked for was a vanity or new acrylic paints. He got really weird. So I said What's in the box? because I can tell when he's lying and it just did not add up. He kept saying I don't know. It's supposed to be a gaming chair, but I have a feeling it's not a gaming chair. I got up and walked into Jackie's room, and I ask her, Do you know what's in that box? It was very clear she felt caught off guard and goes, Well, obviously it's your Valentine's Day gift. So I said, "Let's open it. I open it and low and behold, not a gaming chair. It's an Amazon box that had obviously been retaped over and had multiple smaller packages inside. As I'm opening these packages, it's baby clothes, bottles, diapersbasically everything and anything that was baby related. hundreds of dollars worth of stuff. So I look at my boyfriend, who is now standing in Jackie's doorway, and I'm just like, What is this? What's going on? Why would you go out of your way to give her all this stuff? I'm so confused. Like when I tell you I was stuck, I was stuck. I had no idea what to do. I'm looking around and they're both looking so dumbfounded and guilty. I asked What is going on? And that's when Jaden just decides to go, "This isn't working. I think we need to end this." He grabs the gifts that I gave him and walks out the door. I start walking behind him. He quickly holds the headphones up in the air because I'm 5'2" and he's a little over 6 feet tall and says, No, it's a gift. No take backs, like we're fucking five. I said, Okay, snatch the box of shoes out of his other hand, and walk back to my apartment, close and lock the door. I walk into Jackie's room. I apologize for the outburst and I just say, Why was he here the other day? Why was he coming out of your room? What is going on? Just tell me the truth. I'm not going to lie, I had been thinking about that day in the back of my mind, but I just didn't put two and two together that they would have been cheating on me. He's never given me a reason to think he would cheat on me. I trusted him. And she goes, with the most blank expression, Jaden is my baby's father. I don't know what got into me. Usually I'm not someone to shut down or not express myself, but I literally had nothing to say to her. I just said, Hope it was worth it, went back to my room, closed the door, and locked it. I smoked myself into a coma. Woke up a few hours later. She was gone. I could tell she had packed up a lot of her clothes. When I get on my phone, the first thing I see is that I've been added to a group chat with Jackie, Jaden, my stepsister, and my stepmother all telling me that Jaden ended the relationship because he needed someone more secure like Jackie. Secure? I've been paying 70% of the rent for the past year. Jackie can't keep a job for the life of her, and I've been picking up all the pieces, putting food on the table. That's hilarious. Secure? More like a headache. I just couldn't believe what I was seeing. Not only was it the group chat, but it was also all of them privately messaging me about how we can work through this as a family and that Jaden and Jackie deserve to be happy and that my dad is going to help me find a new place of my own so Jaden can move into the apartment and they can start their family. I said, So my dad knows about this? My stepmom goes, No, but he knows that it's time you and Jackie split apart and you retain your independence as a woman. Long story short, I left the group. It is now Tuesday. I haven't seen or heard from Jackie, Jaden, or my stepmom since. Part of me wants to reach out to my dad because I know he probably doesn't know the full story, but I don't know where to go from this. Any advice? COMMENTS wishingforarainyday Tell your dad the truth. Your step mom and her daughter are shady as hell. Your ex is a loser who put your health at risk. Get tested. I’d tell everyone the truth. Those two should be ashamed of themselves. How pathetic is the other woman to accept such garbage treatment from him. Gross. OOP Haven't been the closest to my Dad since the divorce but I did reach out to my mom and She has my back 100% and she currently lives a few hours from me And plans on coming down this weekend. And were gonna talk to my dad together,He has had a history of taking my stepsisters/moms Side so it'll be good to have my mom and her partner on my side. throwRaSchmoopy I'd laugh in his face make him doubt the paternity with all the guys I'd seen her take home. OOP Which is hilarious considering She claims they've been Together for a year But she just broke up with her Bf 4 months ago but 20 week pregnant. fryingthecat66 Tell your roommate that you ARE NOT moving onto the couch or anywhere. She can move in with your EX if she doesn't like it Why should OP'S dad help her find a place? She's already got one I don't understand why OP'S stepmother and stepsister have anything to do with this. They need to mind their business OOP Before my parents divorce Jackie and my step sister were best friends when my dad married my stepmom Jackie Soon became more like A 3rd sister....... Bad home life always With us,always Around. civ_inkblood The way your stepmom and stepsister is okay with this means YOUR STEPMOM MIGHT DID THE SAME THING TO YOUR MOM when she’s still with your dad. You know, mistresses can tell each other apart. Even if you’re not close to your dad, tell him the truth. Don’t let them twist the narrative by making themselves a victim of their own story. Ask a lawyer about your lease, ask about your options regarding their slandering (if they went to tell everyone lies about your relationship with your ex) and don’t let them walk into you like that. Go to therapy too because this is a massive betrayal, disrespect, and disappointment. OOP Funny how you Got everything 100% correct. My Stepmom and dad very much did get married after a 2 year affair behind my moms back resulting in my stepmom getting pregnant with my Younger Half sister(like history just repeating itself at this point.) Which is why im so blessed to have my Mother and her partner on my side. My Little brother(WHOLE brother) is even looking to move into the building with his Buddies For safety reasons. kellieh1969 I would suggest you JUST pay your portion of the rent and everything else until you get out of there. Start looking for a new place and talk to your Dad. Tell him you need a father daughter lunch and then spill your guts on everything. Especially the part that your stepmonster and stepsister are in on the betrayal and siding with the traitors. OOP Looking into it. Already Contacting landlord regarding jackie dude to the fact she Cant afford her 1/2 of the bills and our manager as already scheduled an apartment walkthrough and New updated paystubs and Occupants (her baby). Hopefully we can get this All figured out but Jackie already tried reaching out a weeks ago apparently letting my landlord know I would be moving out at the end of our lease in may.....(which is NEVER was Informed my her) meaning dhes been planning all this be the whole fucking time Update 1 - after 2 days February 17, 2026 My roomate is pregnant w my Bfs baby(Small update/context) Okay, I just want to thank everyone for the advice on my last post. I did want to add some context for those who were confused. Yes, my stepmom and my dad had an affair while he was married to my mom for two years. She found out she was pregnant, and that’s when my dad suddenly decided he wanted to “step up” and be a great dad just not to me and my brother. Only to my stepsister and Babysister (26F and 7F). And yes, my mom is still very much in my life. She lives a few hours away with her partner. There’s distance, but she’s always been there for me. Through all of this, my little brother (22M) has really had my back. I’ve had to stop him from confronting Jaden a few times, but he’s been my support system and has been crashing on my couch for safety reasons. My mom is coming into town so we can talk to my dad and get this lease situation handled. My landlord is doing a room inspection and asking for updated pay stubs and employment verification, which I can provide. I know Jackie is going to struggle with that because she only works 15 hours a week. And Jadens only works 25. When I first found out she was pregnant a month ago, she told me she was 10 weeks. She’s super skinny like cheerleader skinny so I couldn’t even tell. I later found out she might actually be 20 weeks. My stepmom said 25. My boyfriend said 21. So clearly somebody is lying. After talking to my brother, even though I don’t want to, I think it might be best for me to move even if it’s just to another building. I don’t like them knowing exactly where I live. Now about the monitor and headset he took. I had one of my male friends reach out to meet up and get it back. He sent pictures both were clearly used, and very obviously looked liked his dog chewed up the headset. At that point I said, you know what? You want to break $300 worth of gaming stuff? Fine. I went on Facebook, joined a local moms/selling group, and sold almost everything from that box. I made my $300 back. I told my friend to let Jackie and Jaden know they didn’t have to worry about the $300 anymore because I already got it back. Apparently they went crazy banging on my door while I wasn’t home. (Jackie didnt take her keys). They were yelling that there was $800 worth of stuff in there. I price-checked it maybe $500 max. But I didn’t care about $500. I just wanted my $300 back, so I lowballed it and sold it. I kept the car seat (because I know it’s mandatory when leaving the hospital) and the pump supplies. Her baby shower is in a few weeks and my friend joked about regifting it To her as a joke🤣. Yeah, I know Its petty. I’m mad. Call me bitter, I really don’t care anymore. She was also behind on her car payments. I had been helping her because she didn’t want her parents to know and said she’d be embarrassed. I didn’t pay it this month and I’m not helping next month either. They even tried to charge my card and she requested it I blocked it immediately. Apparently she’s been telling my landlord I plan on moving out in May, which I never said. So that’s fun. I’m hoping to have another update Monday after we talk to the landlord and my mom gets here so we can handle everything. This whole situation has put a dent in my life and I’m just ready to move on. I promise you that man ain’t cute enough to be tripping over. I’m good off him. Thanks again for the advice, Reddit. P.S. I’m not 100% sure about small claims court. I know how dramatic she is and how dragged out that could get. I don’t have the time or energy for that right now. As long as she agrees to move out, I’m good with how it ended. She can have him. She was never a sister to me, and evidently he was never my man. COMMENTS Dachshundmom5 She is not paying her rent or car payment, so who does she expect to pay the bills? Have you talked to your Dad? OOP Nope apparently my stepmom and stepsister had been helping her as well. Before she broke up with her bf he paid her car note. No I plan on talking to him This weekend. I've went no contact so far he has not attempted to reach out either. FoxPawsFauxPas Is roommate related to step mom? Like why is stepmother soooooo invested in taking this girl and ex boyfriends side? Something ain't right... OOP Both Jackies mom and My stepmom were friends in Hs/also found out they were both pregnant around the same time so My stepsister and jackie grew up Together After idk what all happened but she has drugs problems and my stepson felt obligated to look over her. Didn't wanna add that bit,but it feels necessary. Update 2 - after 6 days February 23, 2026 My Roomate is pregnant w my bf baby(official update) Okay, I know a lot of you have been waiting for an update, so I’m just going to get straight to the point. Every since my last post ive been getting non stop Insults thrown at me from my stepsister and jackie They've also made multiple post About me And stepsister Said She was diswoning me and that me and my brother "just didn't make the cut". Saturday, I invited my dad out to eat at a local place we used to go to when I was a kid. It was just supposed to be me and him, but my mom was there too. I didn’t tell him ahead of time that she would be there. I did, however, ask him not to bring my stepmom because I wanted us to really touch base and because I needed some life advice. At first, he tried to reschedule, but I pushed enough to get him to agree to come. This was a conversation that needed to happen, and it had to happen while my mom was in town. Well, when he showed up, he brought my stepmom anyway. As they were approaching the table, my stepmom was already making comments about how glad she came because I had “ambushed” him by having my mom there. I ignored her and told my dad I was glad he could make it and that we really needed to talk about my living situation with Jackie. Before I could even continue, he started oinsaut how it’s not fair how I’ve been treating Jackie, that I’ve been mean to her, and a bunch of other off-the-wall comments that I’m assuming my stepmom and stepsister fed him. So I told him everything from Valentine’s Day up until now. At first, he was quiet, like he was trying to take everything in. Meanwhile, my stepmom kept trying to jump in and tell her side of the story. Eventually, my dad said he needed to go to the bathroom. He was in there for about 30 minutes. During that time, my mom absolutely went in on my stepmom. She didn’t just bring up my situation , she brought up the divorce and how she let this woman ruin her marriage, but she wasn’t going to let her ruin my life too. My mom isn’t loud or dramtic so i was suprised to see her this way even during the divorce i didnt see her this angry. My stepmom, on the other hand, just doesn’t know when to shut up. She acts like because she has the marriage and the kids, she’s “won” some one sided battle or something. When my dad finally came out, his eyes were red like he’d been crying. I haven’t seen him like that since the divorce. He hugged me tightly and said he was sorry. That’s when my stepmom stood up and said, “Sorry for what? Your daughter has a lot of growing up to do.” And that’s when my mom told her to shut the fuck up. My dad then said he couldn’t believe all of this was happening under his nose and that he wished I had reached out sooner. But truthfully, even though I didn’t tell him the full story before, I had tried calling and texting him. I mentioned that in some of the comments. I didn’t really get anything back until I pressured him to meet and even then, he still brought my stepmom after I specifically asked him not to. Anyway, that was Saturday morning. I didn’t hear from my dad or stepmom after that. Saturday night, my mom came to my apartment. She’s always been good with finances, so we worked out my budget and started looking at apartments closer to my job. A lot of people asked why I don’t just move closer to my mom, but she lives in a pretty rural area with her partner. I still do online schooling, and my job is really beneficial and I can’t afford to lose it rn. We got everything figured out. My mom boxed up the baby stuff I hadn’t sold the car seat, the breast pump, a few onesies, and a box of diapers and we dropped it off at jadens apartment. I didn’t see him. I didn’t knock. My mom just left the box at the door, knocked, and walked away. Our landlord did the inspection, and everything came back good on my end. Jackie failed to provide pay stubs or paperwork and has completely ghosted the landlord I think she even blocked the number. They were in the process of evicting her. My mom’s partner was kind enough to offer to pay off the rest of my lease. Thank God. But then Monday morning happened.(this morning) It turns out my stepmom paid to have Jackie’s name removed from the lease before she could be evicted so she could “have a clean start” with her baby. He’s also planning to pay my first month’s rent and deposit for whichever apartment I choose.(or so he claims Doubt it'll happen) This wasn’t what I expected at all, but it’s what happened. On top of that, my dad THEN agreed to co-sign for a 2 bed apartment Jackie and Jaden can move in. My dad makes six times the rent, and jaden only makes two times, so with my dad co-signing, it works out. I wasn’t thrilled about how all of this happened, but in my head all I heard was: I don’t have to pay for anything. So I signed the papers and went over everything with my landlord and my mom. My mom isn’t happy about it. She feels like this is just enabling them. I asked my dad why he’s being so nice to her and why he still calls Jaden his son. He kept referring to Jaden like he’s his responsibility and that he has to take care of him like tf? For WHAT reason? Jaden has parents. And his parents are well off. Fun fact: my mom actually reached out to Jaden’s parents over the weekend. Turns out they knew he was with Jackie, and apparently I’m “not wife material. and not "Dominican enough For there Family.... Jaden is Dominican My mother is black. My dad is Biracial white/black Stepmom/Stepsis/jackie are Latina In a way, my dad seems numb to all of this. I haven’t really felt the support I need from him, but honestly, I kind of expected that. When it comes to jackie and Jaden, they’re two peas in a pod and they deserve eachother. Oh, and another fun fact: Jaden’s parents are gonna work on paying off Jackie’s car because his car is a piece of shit and they “need something reliable for the baby.” It’s wild how all this money suddenly appears when it benefits them. Where was all this help when I was the one struggling and helping her? When I was barely making it? It was my mom helping me. Advising me. Doing my budget. My dad was silent. And now suddenly everyone has money and support to throw around. No ones checked on me or asked me how I feel like my boyfriend cheated on me my roommate ain't close friend got pregnant by him why am I the one being called crazy why is everyone just looking over the fact that he cheated she betrayed my trust this is fucking crazy. Its all about jackie and making sure she's not stressed out from her pregnancy. Crazy Mention,but I Hooked up with Tatis("Jackie") fyne ass brother and It was a funny as hell Talking shit about you hoes after Cracking.🤣✌🏾 And no there were no souls tied But He was a muncher.🤣✌🏾 Shout out to Dearah and Tati since you wanna Stalk my Post😘 Edit just found out Her due date is Mid april......so you can go ahead and do the math with that COMMENTS spoole124 I think you need to have a serious conversation with your dad about why he consistently puts the wellbeing of homewreckers over his own family. Especially his children. I’d go low to no contact, but it’s easy for me to say that when I’m on the outside looking in. OOP I've been lo contact with him for A while now. After the divorce i went no contact for 2 years after forced visits but i do wanna see how this goes through with his "promises" and if he breaks them I'm done. Naive-Flounder-7250 Wait, what's his promises? OOP He agreed to pay 1st months rent and deposit for my apartment. He Wantes to be the one to pay off my side of the lease out of some ego complex bc my moms Partner wanted to pay it. SheLight2 Well they all are about to find out how trifling these two are when they ruin their credit and waste their money. Meanwhile, you’ll continue to elevate without them. Go low contact with your Dad. He’s brain dead at this point if he signs for an apartment for the two AH that hurt his own flesh and blood. Has he always been this weak? OOP I love him,ik he doesn't make the best choices truth be told He didn't always act like this. But Money and And your spouse can change you ig. Wide_Ordinary4078 Girl still go NO CONTACT with your father! That whole family played you because you don’t have any boundaries! With the upmost respect, learn to love yourself first and then others! It’s always pour into yourself and whatever overflows is what you give to others! OOP Very much considering it. I just cant trust him Or Have any faith in him to be by my side and i expected it but i thought there would be atleast some remorse Or reaction to my Stepmoms doing but nothing. pink_cloudysky WTF?! Why the HELL is your dad and wicked stepmother helping some slutty bitch who slept with YOUR boyfriend and found herself pregnant. I'm sorry, but your dad sounds like an asshole. You should just cut contact with that bastard, treating some cheaters like fucking family while not even bothering to check you're okay! You don't need that level of toxicity in your life - cut them all out and let them fester together. I'm so sorry you've been through all of this and I'm glad to hear you had >your mom there for support. You're amazing for bouncing back! Go live your life! That cheating prick has done you a favour! Who would want to have in-laws like his parents anyway! They'd rather have a slut who opens her legs to anyone than a self respecting woman like you! Nice 👍🏻 I give them less than a year - after all, cheater's gonna cheat! On another note, I haven't read all the comments, but just to make sure - I would definitely get yourself checked at a sexual health clinic or something. Get tested for all the nasties since he's a dog. Even if you used protection, best be safe than sorry! Now go off and find yourself a man who knows your worth girl! 🫂 OOP What really blew is when my dad said "i see myself in jaden i want to Protect him from the Stress of being a new dad" Says the man who cheated on his Highschool sweetheart and so called "Love of his life" with some Chick 14 years young then him. Cheaters protecting cheaters. NEW UPDATE Update 3 - after almost 2 months April 13, 2026 My roomate is pregnant with my Exes Baby(Update) I’m gonna keep this brief because I’m honestly done with this situation and want nothing to do with this crazy, weird ass shit anymore. First off, thank y’all for all the advice. I even saw you guys covered it on the pod, and I really did take everything into consideration. I also had someone DM me saying Jackie made a post on here lying about the whole situation. The account was deleted by the time I saw it, so I have no way of knowing if it was actually her. These past couple of weeks have been the most peaceful my life has been in a while. I moved into my new apartment, and no one except my brother and my mom’s side knows where I live. And no, my dad didn’t give me a dime ,but my mom’s partner really showed up for me when I needed it most. Jaden and Jackie’s apartment didn’t get approved, even with my dad as a cosigner 🤣. They had to work things out with the current landlord, pay extra, and add themselves back onto the lease. So yeah… they’re now living in my old apartment. Also, when Jackie’s brother got his state refund, he gave me $1,000 for everything I dealt with because of his sister. We’ve gone on three dates since then, just taking things slow and enjoying the friendship. Now about the pregnancy Jackie had been lying about her dates this whole time. Over Easter weekend, she had an emergency Csection. The baby is healthy and so is she, and from what I’ve heard, she’s recovering well. Jaden broke up with her three hours after the baby was born. During the delivery, Jackie made Jaden wait in the hallway and had my stepsister in the room instead. Even after the baby was born, she still didn’t want Jaden in there. When his mom showed up and asked why he wasn’t in the room, it turned into an argument. Jackie finally let him come in, but he took one look at the baby and left the hospital. He ghosted her until it was time for her and the baby to go home. My stepsister ended up bringing her home, and Jaden has been MIA ever since. After all of this, my stepsister of all people called me apologizing and told me everything that happened. Jackie’s baby looks exactly like my dad. Edit: i am not in Contact with my dad/stepmom/Jackie for the past couple Weeks. Only reason my Stepsister was able to contact me is bc she was reaching out my bff About me Getting Contact with her asap and Thats When she told me what all went down. COMMENTS spoole124 Oh. That was an unexpected twist. But if the baby is your dad’s that explains a lot of things on why he was behaving how he was. Guilt can be a big driving force. But also, can I just say: the cheater got cheated and I think it’s delicious karma and oh so funny. 😂 How is your step mom taking all this? OOP Literally no idea😂Im no Contact with her😂 i only know What my Stepsister and Circle tell me. But i do no My dad tried reaching out to my Mom for "advice" my Mom Didnt Know what advice or what He needed but she quickly reminded him of where there Stood and hung up that phone😂. Damn That probly was the confession🤣 spoole124 Oh. That was an unexpected twist. But if the baby is your dad’s that explains a lot of things on why he was behaving how he was. Guilt can be a big driving force. But also, can I just say: the cheater got cheated and I think it’s delicious karma and oh so funny. 😂 How is your step mom taking all this? And also his family that was ok with him cheating because she was Latina. Bet they loved this plot twist. OOP Which is hilarous because my Stepsister Sent me a Pic of there baby and When i tell you that baby Took ALL my dad features,its hilarous. Abject-Rich So wait…how long has your step-sister been in your fathers’ realm? If it’s around nine years he could have been grooming Jackie? Your poor brother too! OOP My moms and dad divorced When i was in middle school. Jackie and my Stepsister were Always together same bus route,Classes,Sports,Neighborhood ALWAYS around. Corfiz74 This has got to be fake - no new baby looks like anyone to the point you’d recognize a specific person, they mostly look like a squashed football. Hereshkigal826 Ehhhh, if the baby looks more black than Latino you could tell. Jaiden is Dominican. OPs sperm donor is biracial black/white. If the baby looks black and not Latino … OOP Bingo√ When you look at my dad He visually has more Black features then,Including his complextion. My dad has light Hazel eyes And 3c hair. Both Jackie and jaden Have Brown eyes and Naturally Straight and 1C hair. The baby eyes arent exactly Hazel but they DEF aint Brown the baby has pretty bright eyes and When comparing the photo to my little Brother they Looked almost idential besides the complextion. And Curly head of dark Brown hair and complextion is darker than Both Jackie and Jaden who are both considered a lighter complextion. wenchywitchy This cannot be the last update... Your dad fathered his SD bff baby!!!! Wtf! If anything, you need a front row seat to the drama unfolding! You have disentangled yourself from the chaos, linked with the brother of the former frenemy, so grab some snacks, sit back and watch the chaos unfold. The GOAT move was cracking the brother! Dont use him though. He seems innocent and a decent guy! Misty_Mountains16 Totally! The brother seems actually decent and polar opposite of his sister. Don’t mess him up. OOP Its makes sense,considering Jackie and Her Brother Have different moms. He was raised By his single mother after Jackies Father ran out on them for Jackie current mother........ Fucking ironic Impressive_Main5160 So when the dad went to the bathroom after you told him in the restaurant what happened……..it was because he was upset the girl he was having an affair with -was all fucking his daughter’s boyfriend. It wasn’t because he was upset for her at all. What a pos. OOP Yep Thats all i Keep thinking. I Have a feeling The entire time He was in that bathroom we was probly Talking to her. He never Felt Bad for me or Wanted to help,He Was jus pressed His precious Lil SideChick was Getting passed around and then used Jaden to cover his tracks simple. jrocio6 So she picked a fight with Jaden because she knew that he wasn’t the baby daddy?! Lawd jeezus OOP Jadens Mom was basically calling Jaden a bad dad for not being In there with her and Jaden didnt Like that comment and They went back and forth,Thats When Jackie Allowed Jaden to Come meet the baby to Stop the argument. Jesnser90 How does your step-sister feel about her BFF being her potential step-mom and having her step brother? Honestly soooo soo crazy plot twist OOP Well and she called me to Apologizeand she was really hysterical and almost hyperventilating as if she was going to go into a panic attack so not great I would feel. This is a repost sub. I’m not the Original OP (OOP) Please remember to follow the subreddit rules, especially the ones about brigading.

Replacement for off-centered vanity light?
I have a guest bathroom where the vanity light is a few inches off centered. It's bothering my wife and I was wondering if anyone had suggestion for type of vanity light I could get to handle the the off-centerning that also goes well with the look of the bathroom. I have electrician who is ready to install one, but he asked me to pick something and I have no clue what type/style would be best. Any help would be appreciated! https://preview.redd.it/9owmfzo086vg1.png?width=4284&format=png&auto=webp&s=12295eaa04031c42a7dffcc3417e6e07b6a18d48 https://preview.redd.it/f0emyfhk86vg1.jpg?width=4284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0c2af552f4860bfc844b5567414c641ab6c1ddff https://preview.redd.it/a5853hhk86vg1.jpg?width=4284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=98f50aad81bf87293cb9029787f8134f0b6bb2bd submitted by /u/Ok_Traffic6760 to r/BathroomRemodeling [link] [comments]

Bathroom Lighting for Vanity help
We have a very small bathroom that we are renovating and I would like some advice specifically about the lighting of the vanity. (The layout was a huge challenge, trust me when I say there is no other option). Right now there is one recessed spotlight between the toilet and the vanity. Our planner said that if we have wall sconces and a warm backlit mirror on the vanity then the one spotlight would be enough. However, will the spotlight then be shining in our faces and reflecting weirdly in the mirror? Should we A) shift it closer to the window, B) add another spotlight so that there is one on the ceiling on each side of the vanity along with wall sconces and the backlit mirror C) group two recessed lights on one side or the other, or D) leave it as it is. Thank you for any advice or experience you have on this!! submitted by /u/bookshops to r/InteriorDesign [link] [comments]

Hello centenarian lovers! I’m the new owner of a 95 year old house and want to share my first win.
This house is in Pittsburgh, PA and has charm out the wazoo. She needs a little love but I am eternally grateful (for now) to the seller, who had it for 20 years and made some recent modern upgrades for us. That said, he did also make some choices that I can’t fault him for, but I’m going to put in the elbow grease to revert and restore where we can. Here‘s my first win - this bathroom has white painted tile and gray walls. White vanity, toilet, tub and surround. My first thought was to strip the white on the tiles and see what’s under there. Is it salmon? Mint? Hydrated urine yellow?? Jokes on me because it’s a lovely cream main color, with a black band at the top before the plaster and then a fun little strip of black inlaid with green diamonds on white. It screams art deco to me, so my intention is to paint the walls above the tiles black, then the ceiling the same color as that light cream on the majority of tiles. We have a bit of a way to go before painting starts. Some electrical, getting the floors refinished. I’ll be sure to post a before and after of our floor lottery prize (or disappointment). I also intend to restore the phone nook that has been painted white. As a note, I found this sub when looking at tips for restoring original door knobs and plates. Thanks for being here yall and happy northern hemisphere spring! submitted by /u/ProbsDrunkOrProcrast to r/centuryhomes [link] [comments]

Lighting Options Selection for Multiple Bathrooms
Man, lighting is tough to figure out. We're gut renovating 3 bathrooms. Here's generally what I was thinking for lighting: Lighting - Housing EL390ICA Lighting - Trim Elco ELK3318B Lighting - Bulb (Non-Shower) Elco Koto MAX ECKT3527D-N (38° lens) Lighting - Bulb (Shower) Elco Koto MAX ECKT3527D-N (60° lens) The ceiling plan for each bathroom is below. We also have sconces/fllush mount in each bathroom; any thoughts on the best approaches here? The Elco come highly recommended but I am definitely not an expert. What do you think - are we over-lighting? Bathroom 1 Happy with this as we'll have 2x sconces in top left next to tub and bottom right on vanity https://preview.redd.it/f7w3vwf3o7rg1.png?width=1424&format=png&auto=webp&s=b3971a35058dbf6539b2ca5347986c9a092d59af Bathroom 2 This bathroom we're have fewer recessed lights but 4x vanity sconces https://preview.redd.it/n0d63pb7o7rg1.png?width=1242&format=png&auto=webp&s=c464e8ba9ce6bc1bacac458fc4cbe468864a2dbd Bathroom 3 This one we're most flexible on; there will be a bathroom fan in the middle closer to the toilet, but was thinking of 2 recessed over shower; this bathroom is the darkest Recessed lights here are only an example, will likely go with two over shower and two over toilet. Was thinking the ones over toilet should we change to be angled to the walls to highlight art? submitted by /u/thekiefs to r/Lighting [link] [comments]

Am I crazy for wanting to paint my bathroom my favorite color?
The color is red wine baby! I don’t actually know the name of it, and I haven’t picked a specific color out but we have a teeny tiny master bathroom. We just renovated the whole floor and for now it’s all one color (white sesame by SW) just because before it were these dark rustic (like unfinished dark barn wood) panels and shag carpet. I wanted something light and refreshing but now it’s all too light. I’d like to have fun with our bathroom but the OG green tiles (which I love) are hard to coordinate with. Not planning on replacing the flooring at all until we rip out the whole bathroom and probably add an addition to make it bigger so just looking for bandaid options for now. Photos: before, new vanity and counter top, what I want to do. submitted by /u/SoggyVoice6541 to r/interiordecorating [link] [comments]

Installed a Vanity Light, Now My Bathroom Has No Power
I took the old light fixture out of my bathroom and bought a new one at Lowe's to hang over the new vanity and mirror. I am a decently good DIYer, so I figured I could do this myself. Connected white to white, black to black, and the ground wire. Turned the power back on, flipped the switch, and nothing. Plus -- now the overhead bathroom light won't turn on (it did before I did this project), and the outlet in the bathroom won't work. It's a GFCI outlet and now the green light isn't on, and when I hit the Reset button, it clicks and the red light flashes. I think where I messed up is the ground wire. There's a copper ground wire coming out of the outlet box, and then there's one coming out of the light fixture itself. I took the one coming out of the outlet box, wrapped it a couple times around the ground screw that is on the fixture's mounting plate, and then connected it to the fixture's ground wire with a wire nut. Another place I might have messed up is when I stuck both whites into the nut, and both blacks, there was some copper wire still exposed at the bottom, i.e. too much of the wire casing was stripped back and the nut wasn't long enough. So, when I wrapped electric tape around it, the tape was touching some of the still-exposed copper wire. Maybe? This feels like it should be pretty simple -- white to white with a nut, black to black with a nut, and then ground to ground. What am I doing wrong? I don't want to call an electrician but obviously will if this is more than a simple fix because I'm misunderstanding something. EDIT: We have a solution! Turns out u/TexasAFVet was correct and it was the drywall screw that was resting up against another wire. As soon as the electrician took that out and cleaned up some of the extra junk that was back there, everything was back in working order. I saved a little bit of my pride because all of my wiring was correct, it was just the drywall screw that had messed things up. Thanks for everyone's input. submitted by /u/ajt331840 to r/bathrooms [link] [comments]

Bringing character back ✨
Our house was built in 2002 and we are slowly renovating room by room. We hired tiling guys for the floor and shower and did the rest ourselves, but this was our first bathroom reno in this house! Took roughly 2 weeks to complete. • Floor tiles are Leona Checkerboard Matte Porcelain Tile in Marfil and Amani Bronze from Edward Martin • Shower tiles are Alata Cloudstone from Tile Club • Sink is the 48" Floating Bathroom Vanity with Sink from AmbroVania on Amazon • Light is the Afmean 23.6-in 3 Light in Polished Brass from Lowe’s submitted by /u/GeezyMart to r/BathroomRemodeling [link] [comments]

Small/narrow bathroom redesign – foresty green tiles: good idea or mistake?
Hi! Would love any and all advice. I've attached photos of our current bathroom, the AI generated image of what we want and some close ups of sample tiles in the bathroom with different lighting (it's quite gloomy atm). FYI for the generated image, the shower would actually be on the stud wall, along with the shower screen, and we intend to have the green tiles to the floor in the sink area with no recessed lighting above the sink. Dark green tiles: We’re considering foresty green wall tiles. In a bathroom of this size, would that likely feel too dark/heavy in real life, even with lighter floor tiles and good lighting? (The AI generated image using tiles we're considering makes it look fine, but suspect they could be darker in real life?). We really like the gloss/ceramic glaze tiles where there is a range of colour/texture in tiles. Boxing in the toilet cistern: Would boxing the cistern in (to seat height, spanning bath-to-wall) make the space look cleaner and more modern, or risk making it feel smaller? We currently just have the pipes boxed in. Struggling to visualise... Vanity: Any recommendations for what price point makes sense for vanity units? We've seen some at the 1k mark, some significantly lower (e.g. from Victorian Plumbing) and not sure what makes sense - we'll probably live here for max 5 more years. Background: Full bathroom replacement: bath, shower, toilet, vanity/sink, tiles. Stud wall position is fixed due to bath size, window, and cost constraints - will be extended to the ceiling Layout advice isn’t the main goal, but open to obvious improvements. TL;DR: Redesigning our bathroom and want feedback on whether green tiles will be too dark for the space, and whether boxing in the toilet cistern actually improves the look. Vanity suggestions welcome. Editing to add: Wow, really appreciate all the feedback! Thanks so much to everyone who commented so far. For those who are asking, we used ChatGPT (free version) to generate the image. It was definitely "generous" with the size and lighting. We actually asked it to use the same tiles we got samples for, but I guess it came out unrealistically light! submitted by /u/SaltedandShrivelled to r/InteriorDesign [link] [comments]

I remodelled my girlfriend's bathroom because of failed waterproofing
(EDIT: please excuse some of the weird AI blurriness around the bottom edges of some pics: I shot these with a super wide 10mm lens with terrible sensor crop/vignetting, and I used photoshops refill feature to try clean up the corners, but I just realised it's left some ugly AI-looking funkiness on the very corners) (2nd EDIT: the hole in the ceiling above the shower is for a skylight, I'll install that and finish off the plastering once my partner's bank account recovers from the bathtub purchase. My Girlfriend recently bought her first home; A mid-2000s developer build in Pascoe Vale. Unfortunately, as expected of these kinds of builds in Australia; there was significant water damage due to failed waterproofing in the upstairs shower. This was, however, a good excuse to redo the bathroom for her and get rid of the grey floor tiles, grey wall tiles, grey vanity, and all other depressing mid-2000s developer-build stylings. She also wanted a bathtub, and a frameless shower. The existing bathroom wasn't big enough to achieve this, so I moved some walls and claimed space from an adjoining linen closet for the shower recess. I also had to do some tricky stuff with raising and lowering parts of the floor (difficult because of the truss beam system) to create the appropriate drop for the screed, to accommodate the threshold-less shower. (I did like 6 coats of waterproofing, above and below screed, used the most expensive bond-breaker tape I could source etc. because I did NOT want this bathroom to leak again!). She wanted a timber vanity. We discovered nice timber vanities are insanely expensive. So I built the vanity myself out of some cheap tassie-oak panels from Bunnings. I was very happy with how well that came up. My friends Milwaukee tracksaw made that very easy to do. I also dropped the ceiling by 45mm to create a recessed led "halo" light as the main lighting, which turned out really nice. My partner wanted a clear bathtub because she's a pervert (I'm currently refusing to bath in it for fear of being ogled and objectified). Oh; she would also like it known that she bought this bathtub BEFORE it was featured on The Block. She was not happy when it appeared on the block. (I think she wanted to order her tub, then the supply company go out of business, so she was the only person in Australia to have a clear resin bathtub). It looks fabulous, but it was monstrously difficult to silicone in place due to the caustic effect of the clear resin visually magnifying and emphasising the silicone bead from every angle inside and outside (And also I am not very good at siliconing). The total cost of this renovation was about $12k I think. It took me about 3 months, after work each day and on weekends. (although the amount of tiling here almost killed me). The main costs was the bathtub ($5k), and the bath faucet at ($1.1k), and my mental sanity & hairline (priceless). submitted by /u/khdownes to r/AusRenovation [link] [comments]

“Opulent”
Opulence is in the eye of the beholder, because I would never consider tacky contractor grade finishes (cabinets & countertops), garage fluorescent lights in areas other than a garage, cheap looking LVP, an outdated rickety metal rack over the toilet organizer in a bathroom with a pedestal sink instead of a real vanity and basically a complete lack of custom work in a 2.1 million $ home to be “opulent”. Corners were cut where they could be just to save money, I imagine. Overall, when I think of Grod and Robem’s style and mindset, this house is actually perfect for them. submitted by /u/Aggravating_Dig_8473 to r/SisterWives [link] [comments]

Century bathroom refresh “lean into it”
When we first looked at the house I thought we would demo this bathroom. Many realtor friends said I was nuts, keep the retro tile. I had a remodeler come in and told them I wanted to retain the tile and do the shower enclosure, vanity, lights, etc and they told me they wouldn’t do it and leave the tile, so I did it myself! Now I’m so happy we kept the tile and just “leaned into” the vibe, whatever that vibe might be! This is shared between guests & a cat loving 11-year old, hence the cats bathing prints. We did tile & grout refresh & reseal; custom shower enclosure; new vanity; new light fixtures, mirror & art. Still need rugs & towels. 💚💚 scroll for the before & in-process shots. submitted by /u/daydrinkingonpatios to r/centuryhomes [link] [comments]

Rental Remodel After Nightmare Tenant
I had a tenant who adopted six pit bulls from the local animal shelter without my permission. The dogs did a ton of damage to the house. The tenant did her share of damage as well. The first few pics are the day I got the house back. (I don't have a picture of the bathroom from that day, so I added one from the day I bought the house). I did a full remodel myself. Framing, wall/removal & beam install, insulation, tile, cabinets, countertops, kitchen/bathroom flooring, plumbing, electric, new LED lighting & fixtures, appliances (purchased and repaired from FB marketplace), vanity, toilet, reglaze tub, furnishings, and more. The only things I didn't DIY were paint and refinishing the hardwoods. I've done those before, and I know my limitations. The one major improvement that doesn't show in the pictures is the smell. The whole placed reeked of dog pee. I ran an industrial dehumidifier for two weeks, and an ozone machine for another week. I also used deodorizing floor cleaner, before having the floors sanded and sealed. Very happy with how this turned out. It'll be a mid-term rental for traveling nurses, because it's 1/4 mile from a major hospital. I didn't do a great job tracking my expenses, but total cost was in the $9k-$11k range. submitted by /u/LoopholeTravel to r/DIY [link] [comments]

$1400 shower DIY
I finally had enough of that tired 1990s plastic shower shell—and after watching way too many YouTube tutorials, I dove headfirst into a full bathroom renovation! 🛁💥 This was no weekend project—oh no. It took me over 3 months of after-hours dedication (thanks, day job!) to finish the job, but I made sure to do it right from start to finish. I became obsessed with using the best waterproofing methods to ensure this shower stands the test of time. 🚿💪 For the vanity, I upgraded it with a sleek tile backsplash to give it a fresh, modern touch. And let me tell you—tiling is no joke! I have so much respect for the pros who do this every day. 🙌 Here’s the breakdown: Shower: $1400 in materials Vanity Project: $800 in materials Keeping the bathtub: Priceless 😎 I splurged on 4x12 marble tiles from Floor & Decor, and I couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. If you look closely, you’ll spot tiny fossils embedded in the marble. 🦴✨ And get this: while hunting for scorpions with a blacklight (an Arizona thing—don’t ask 😆), I discovered the fossils glow under UV light! 🌌🦕 Swipe through the photos to see the transformation—every bit of sweat was worth it! Let me know what you think! I left the bathtub because i thought it would be a waste to remove it. I also sandblasted the shower handle and painted it black. 2nd hand/reuse for the win!!!! submitted by /u/Crafty_DIY to r/DIY [link] [comments]

Paint color for bathroom with navy blue vanity?
We’re redoing our tiny master bathroom with a new shower, floor, lighting, and vanity. I haven’t figured out the tile in the shower, but I’m guessing it will be porcelain white marble-looking tiles. No ideas on the floor yet. There are no windows in the bathroom and it barely has room for a shower, toilet, and vanity. We want to get a navy blue vanity (see pics) and have antique gold accents. I’m trying to avoid millennial gray as much as possible. My style is very traditional colonial revival. What color should the walls be? submitted by /u/sourcarolime to r/HomeDecorating [link] [comments]

What color/type of rugs should I get for our newly remodeled bathroom? Looking for in front of vanity and shower.
Our bathroom is almost done. Our GC is also a designer and offered to “style” it for an extra $500, but she’s not been super easy to work with. So, I think I’d rather just figure out my own rugs and decor for the shelves! Trying to decide on color (don’t want them TOO light because they show dirt so much easier) and if I should do a runner in front of vanity or two separate ones? submitted by /u/mugglequeen to r/interiordecorating [link] [comments]

What is my bathroom missing?
Hi everyone. So I got my first place back in 2021. Everything was pretty dated. I decided to try to DIY the bathroom vanity and get the shower done professionally after getting an initial quote of 20k for everything which I thought was crazy. Here is what I have done so far. I am new to this so it was quite a bit of work. At this point im wondering what can I add which will add a pop of color? or something to make it look less bare. I am open to changing the wall art but keeping the mirror, lighting and vanity. 1st pic - currently 2nd pic - before submitted by /u/Character-Ad1243 to r/DesignMyRoom [link] [comments]

My wife has a removable face. I’ve never glimpsed what lies beneath it, but my best friend has.
Samantha told me about it on our third date. We were watching a movie on her couch when I made my move to kiss her. She whipped her hand in front of my face and blocked me. “There’s something you need to know,” she said. I braced myself. Here it comes. “I’m not ready for a relationship. Nothing to do with you, of course.” It was the absolute last thing that I wanted to hear, because I was already crazy about her. “Okay,” I said. “I have a removable face.” That’s a new one. “You have a what now?” I was about to laugh, but she was wearing a deadly serious expression. “I have a removable face.” “Is that, like, a metaphor or something?” “No. My face is literally removable. Look. Closely.” She lifted her chin and traced her jaw line with a finger. “You can see the seam.” After admiring how beautiful her neck was for a dizzying moment, I leaned in for an inspection. It was very hard to see, but it did look like there was a slightly unnatural transition there from her face to her throat. I grew dizzier, as a dozen questions rushed into my brain. “Don’t bother asking why or how or anything like that,” said Samantha. “I can’t tell you that. If that’s going to be a problem, you should leave now. I’m letting you know this because I like you, and I want to take the next step, but this is non-negotiable.” “Okay,” I said, unsure of what was happening. “Not a problem. So what? You have a removable face. Who cares? It looks good.” “There’s something else. Once a day, usually in the evening, I have to remove the face and disinfect the inside of it. If I don’t, it will rot. This takes about an hour, give or take, depending on how my day went. During this time, you must never ever look at my real face. Never. Do you understand?” “Y… yes. Got it. Don’t ask about it, don’t look at your… ‘real’ face.” Samantha stood up. “Now, I’m going to go into the bathroom and clean my face. That will give you plenty of time to think about what I’ve told you. If you’re here when I’m done… that’s great. I would like that. But if you’re gone… I’ll understand.” She turned and walked into her bedroom. I sat in stunned silence as I heard the bathroom door close. I gave the thing some serious thought. It was possible that it was a joke of some kind. It was possible that it was a delusion. Was it possible that it was true? Well, it was certainly possible to transform an actor’s face with movie makeup, so I supposed it was possible that Samantha wore a “removable face” every day. Maybe she had had a horrible accident where her flesh had been mangled. Maybe her face had been melted by acid, or burned by fire, or the skin shorn off by heavy machinery. If it had, I would never know, because she would never tell me, and I would never see it. I pictured a face of raw, naked muscle, rotting away. Could I kiss her, if that was what I was kissing? But wasn’t that what we all were, under the skin? Just muscle and bone and blood and squishy organs. I paced around the living room, running my hand through my hair. I liked Samantha, a lot. She was smart, and funny… and beautiful. But was that beauty real? Did it count? Did it matter if it was “real” or not? Was I being superficial even worrying about it? When she came out of the bathroom, I was still there. I looked at her face. She smiled and I was in love. * We dated, we moved in together, we decided to get married. For the most part, it was a completely normal relationship, typical of two young people in love, building a life together. During the day, it was easy to forget about the face altogether. It looked natural enough, and only in certain positions, in certain lights, was there ever any indication that it wasn’t natural. But every night was the same. Samantha would close herself in the bathroom – sometimes for an hour, sometimes for two – and clean the inside of her face. The curiosity never left me. I would sit there and wonder what was under that face. I came so close to barging in on her a few times, but I never did. I did occasionally ask her about it. About what, if anything, had happened. About how it was possible to make the removable face look so real. About what it really looked like underneath. I tried to coax her into showing me, assuring her that I loved her no matter what, and didn’t give a damn what her real face looked like… I was just curious, that’s all. She never showed me, or told me the story behind it. She didn’t get upset at me (unless I was really badgering her.) She’d just shrug and say, “You know you can’t see it. You know I can’t tell you about it.” * I never told anybody about Samantha’s removable face. It’s not that she asked me not to. I just didn’t think it was anybody’s business. Except once, I did tell somebody. It was during my bachelor’s party. We had rented several cabins in Big Sur and spent the night drinking and packing our noses with powders that we shouldn’t have been packing our noses with. Everyone else had passed out and the sun was creeping up behind us as I stood on the majestic cliffs with my friend Chris, looking down on the pacific waves crashing against the rocks. Chris was my best friend; as close to a brother as I’d known. We’d grown up together, and visited each other at college often, and spent the summers together. After college, we’d moved to different cities, but we stayed in close contact. Standing there on the cliffs, I told Chris about Samantha’s removable face. At first, he thought I was joking. Then he had a thousand questions, most of which I couldn’t answer. “What’s underneath?” “I don’t know, man. I don’t know.” “Doesn’t that drive you crazy, not knowing?” I shrugged. “Lots of stuff I don’t know. Don’t know how to do calculus, and I don’t know what happens when we die.” “But dude, she’s about to be your wife. And you don’t even know what she looks like. I mean, I’d have to take a look. Like, you could set a camera up in the bathroom. That’s where she does it, right? Set up a camera and have a look and then you’ll know.” I sighed. “Yeah, it drives me crazy. I’ve asked her a million times. But she told me I could never look. Gotta respect that, man, even if I don’t like it. That’s love.” Chris laughed. “You telling me to respect a woman? Up is down now.” Then we fell back into talking about old times as a new day dawned. * Chris was in town for business last week, and planned on spending the weekend at our house. The conversation at Big Sur had happened four years ago, and we hadn’t spoken about Samantha’s removable face since, despite keeping in close contact and seeing each other as often as two people transforming into adults in different parts of the country can. It happened on Saturday evening. We were lounging lazily in the backyard, deep into the beer, having just finished with some grilled steaks, when I got a text from work. “Goddammit,” I groaned. “I have to make a work call.” “Seriously?” said Samantha, raising an artificial eyebrow. “On a Saturday night?” “My biggest client, baby. Sorry.” “It is what it is, I guess,” said my wife. “I’m going to head inside and get cleaned up. Chris? Are you okay just hanging out for a bit?” Chris smiled. “I'll be fine. Got my beer, got some weeds to pull in your garden. God knows your lazy-ass husband isn’t going to do it. Those tomatoes are choking to death. It’s a tragedy.” I rolled my eyes and went into the side yard to make my call. 15 minutes into it, I heard the screams coming from inside. Both my best friend and my wife were wailing in terror. I dropped the phone and ran into the house and down the hall to our bedroom. Through the open door, I could see that the door to the master bathroom was also standing open. “Don’t come in!” screamed Samantha. “I don’t have my face on! Call an ambulance! He looked! Oh God, he looked!” She sounded desperate, and truly horrified. That made me desperate and horrified, and I wanted to rush into the bathroom, but I knew suddenly that that would be a mistake. I knew suddenly that Samantha didn’t want me to look at her real face not out of a sense of vanity, but for my own safety. Chris staggered backwards, out of the bathroom. He was holding a straightened out paperclip, which he had used to pick the privacy lock. Now he was stabbing it again and again into his eyes, shouting gibberish. He was clearly in the depths of madness, and it turned my stomach to see him mutilate himself. “Call a fucking ambulance!” my wife screamed. “Don’t come in here! He fucking LOOKED!” I turned and ran back to the side yard, where my phone was lying in the newly mowed grass. My client was still on the line, alarmed, asking what was happening, what all the screaming was. I hung up on him and called 911. When the paramedics arrived, Chris was having a seizure in the hallway. Samantha was stroking his head, sobbing. Her face was on, but it had been done hastily, and everything looked a little off. * My world has been dark this past week. My best friend is in a psychiatric hospital under suicide watch. He’s completely blind and mostly catatonic, except when he slips into a violent, babbling mania. The doctors are optimistic that his state is temporary, but they don’t know the truth about what caused it, because I told the paramedics that Chris had taken a large dose of psychedelic mushrooms and fallen into psychosis. I saw no good reason to tell the truth about what had happened. Who would believe that one look at my wife’s “real” face would make somebody insane? At best, we would be the subjects of a long investigation; at worst, we would have to prove that what we were saying was true, by showing somebody Samantha’s face. Then the same thing would happen again, and what after that? I had no idea, and no interest in finding out. For Samantha’s part, I knew that she would never consent to show anybody her real face, no matter what the consequences of refusal were. I did get a follow-up call from the police, asking me to confirm my story. The hospital found no traces of psilocybin in Chris’ blood, though that’s not unheard of, since it has a short half-life. If they end up testing his hair, I will likely be in a lot of trouble. But that’s truly the least of my concerns. Samantha is in a state of her own. She still cleans the inside of her face, though not as regularly, and when she puts it back on, it’s always crooked now. It is beginning to smell a little bit. I’ve tried to assure her that it wasn’t her fault. “He knew,” I said. “I told him that nobody was ever allowed to look at it. He knew and then he broke into the bathroom. This is not on you, baby. Please. Talk to me.” “Not on me? That one look at my fucking face makes people insane? Please. I just need some time alone.” As for me, I am doing my best to hold it together. Do you know what’s strange, though? Despite what happened to Chris, I still find myself curious about what my wife’s real face looks like. More curious than ever, really. submitted by /u/nslewis to r/nosleep [link] [comments]
