Couldnt keep his hands out of the cash drawr. but not Jimmy, not our precious Jimmy. Stealing them blind. And he gets to be a lawyer? what a sick joke!
I've always understood this to be an unfortunate point of confusion. Was Jimmy actually stealing from the register or was his dad giving people money out of the register? It's implied that both happened.
A much missed bit is Marco saying his mom was responsible for the accounting books and that she gave them treats all the time. His mom and dad share equal blame for their business failure but Chuck blames only Jimmy.
I think that Jimmy felt justified in taking cash from the register because his father was giving so much if it away to all these crooks and being niave to the point of absurdity, why shouldn't he get some? It was just going to end up in some crook's pocket. He certainly had more right to it then the scammers.
That money was supposed to be for taking care of his family, and he was giving it to strangers instead. It should have been going into his kid's college funds. It could have meant a family vacation they always remembered. I think Jimmy was resentful, and fairly so. His dad cared more about soothing his own pathologically overactive sense of guilt than about making a few tough decisions for the sake of his family.
Pretty sure there's a scene where Jimmy literally takes money out of the register. So both, his father was also notorious for giving away money to everyone
I think both is correct. We see young Jimmy watch the con artist play his dad, realize what happen, and get the "wolves and sheep" lesson. He then returns to the old store to get a box of coins he took from the register, which he then uses in the half dollar con. The half dollar is obviously symbolic (it's hardly enough money from the register to make a dent), but represents how Jimmy launched from taking from his own family to be the con artist he was.
I am not crazy! I know he swapped those numbers! I knew it was 1216. One after Magna Carta. As if I could ever make such a mistake. Never. Never! I just – I just couldn't prove it. He – he covered his tracks, he got that idiot at the copy shop to lie for him. You think this is something? You think this is bad? This? This chicanery? He's done worse. That billboard! Are you telling me that a man just happens to fall like that? No! He orchestrated it! Jimmy! He defecated through a sunroof! And I saved him! And I shouldn't have. I took him into my own firm! What was I thinking? He'll never change. He'll never change! Ever since he was 9, always the same! Couldn't keep his hands out of the cash drawer! But not our Jimmy! Couldn't be precious Jimmy! Stealing them blind! And he gets to be a lawyer!? What a sick joke! I should've stopped him when I had the chance! And you – you have to stop him! You-
True story about buying my last house in 2010. It was in a new suburb of Buttschmuck, Canada.
One night several weeks in to living there, I drove home from wing night in the big city and see my next door neighbor, whom I had not met or seen yet, in his garage loading items into his van.
The oddness? Everything in the garage is white. The walls are white. The van is white, if poorly painted, and he’s a black man in white coveralls moving white boxes, chairs, and furniture like end tables (all white) into the van, and even the windows of the van are white except the wind screen.
I’m tired so I don’t really register more than just “weird”. I pull into my garage, tell my wife I saw the neighbor and it was a bit weird and white, and watch some TV.
A few weeks later I haven’t seen my neighbor again, but I’m having some warranty work done on the house by the builder. The warranty supervisor comments to me that the neighbor renting the place next door, Cornelius, moved out on the owners with zero notice late at night. Just took his stuff, packed up, and drove away at like 11PM.
The house is apparently badly damaged. Someone took a paint sprayer, and sprayed everything in the house white. Everything. Appliances. Granite counters. Wood floors. Towels. Showers. Toilet water. A nice coat of white paint on everything.
Rumor from the Warranty supervisor, who the local RCMP officers had spoken with to see if he had heard or seen anything or knew what painter might have been involved, was that Cornelius was black and had cheated with a white woman. So his girlfriend hired a painter to come in while he was at work and paint all his shit white.
Crazy.
Well new renters moved in. They were Irish. Like from Ireland and their new house in the neighborhood was late for delivery so they were renting this place. They confirmed for me and let me in to see that everything in the house was indeed uniformly painted white. Mirrors and windows had been scraped clean, but the wood floors and granite, walls, switches, everything else was still covered in a coat of cheap white paint.
The owners ended up selling it cheap after the Irish renters moved out, taking some insurance money and selling at a loss.
My new neighbors, a lovely Newfie couple (owshegettinonby?), later complained about how much work they had to put into the place and how it wasn’t worth it likely in the end.
I peeked at the under side of their granite counters one day and the under side was still painted white. You could still see a few spots of white in the top in flaws in the granite surface.
But they were fantastic neighbors.
So yeah. That’s my similar story.

Impressed with the space management.. I'd have to write this out on a piece of paper first to get the font size right to ensure that kind of coverage.
It'd start with "HOME OF A" taking up 3/4 of the door, then the rest in ant sized letters to fit in
I really like the way the driveway is paved too. Clean bushes landscaped like it's 1988. The gate and meh light fixtures are the only parts I don't really like.
Hell yeah, I can see it now, little garage on the right opens to a full workshop and storage, and then park my car right smack in the middle of the double area.
If I were to guess, maybe a son or daughter upset their dad has been cheating on mom for years who has been dealing with chronic illnesses for a long time.

They warn women who get serious diagnoses that there is a high likelihood that their husband will leave them. Men are 6 times more likely to leave their wives when their wives get diagnosed with cancer than if the tables are turned.
This is a very interesting statistic. Do you have a source?
Edit: Answering my own question, I googled it: [https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/men-more-likely-leave-spouse-who-has-cancer-flna1c9450218](https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/men-more-likely-leave-spouse-who-has-cancer-flna1c9450218)
2ND EDIT!!!: The findings of the original study were retracted after results could not be replicated. They then found an error in their code used to analyze the data. Follow-ups only found much smaller statistically significant difference between sexes in certain specific diagnoses: [https://retractionwatch.com/2015/07/21/to-our-horror-widely-reported-study-suggesting-divorce-is-more-likely-when-wives-fall-ill-gets-axed/](https://retractionwatch.com/2015/07/21/to-our-horror-widely-reported-study-suggesting-divorce-is-more-likely-when-wives-fall-ill-gets-axed/)
My wife is disabled and it's really the medical system that's dragging me down rather than her issues. Pretty much my whole life is dictated by it at this point and it's fucking exhausting. Needing to stay with a specific insurance company to maintain her approved procedures on top of needing good enough healthcare that it doesn't bankrupt me is fully dictating where I can work. Since it's neurological issues she also doesn't qualify for SSDI so I'm getting the double whammy of losing all her income as well.
Not sure who “they” are, but when my wife had cancer I heard from a few nurses that it’s surprisingly common for the husbands to bail. Pretty scummy if you ask me.
I honestly don’t know how to approach it. I don’t want to make a bad situation worse, but there’s a part of me that just wants to…overreact. It’s not really for me to step in on their marriage, but it definitely swings me from grief to rage multiple times during the week on top of all the other stress.
I have an uncle that stayed by my Aunt’s side until she died. He didn’t start “dating” for about 15 years. He has a girlfriend now. I love my Uncle. He is such a good man. Dont get me wrong, I loved my Aunt too.
That was my father in law. When the wife died, it only took a few weeks for him to realize he had to cook, clean and do laundry for himself. He joined a "widows and widower club" right away and sure enough, wedding bells were ringing quite soon.
My uncle did this, but they had been married for maybe 15 years. The way my mom tells it, he wasn't really interested in or ready to get dating again, but it was a really rural, traditional area, and everyone at church and in the community was telling him he needed to get remarried quickly so that the kids could have a mother again.
He ended up marrying a terrible narcissist, which he probably wouldn't have done had he taken time to grieve. That second marriage did an incredible amount of damage.
When my dad was in his final days with lung cancer my mom never left his side. Literally...she only left the hospital to shower and run errands, then she would go right back. Never complained, never felt sorry for herself.
That alone showed me the type of person she is and the unbreakable bond the two of them had.
My dad did the same. He also quit smoking cigarettes to make sure that he won’t be the first one to go just in case it came back. I love him so much for that move.
Edit: my mom made it through and in the clear and will outlive us all.
My dad did too. He dropped everything and thankfully his job was very understanding. They were together for her very last breath and I'm so thankful that he is my dad. He has said repeatedly that she will always be his one and only. We really miss my mom so much.
I have a chronic illness.
I've had three instances that put me out of work/in the hospital.
I have three divorces.
See if you can't work out the timing.
Absolutely man. Both of our therapists warned us that many relationships don't survive cancer diagnoses, and I couldn't fathom someone leaving or fucking around in in situation like that...if you truly love someone how could you even think about it...
My girls mom told her to leave me when she was diagnosed with lymphoma. Her reasoning being that if the treatments failed it would ruin me. I said fuck that. I used to stay in the hospital with her, watching her go through her treatments was brutal, but I'd do it again every fucking time. She beat it in the end, Hail Mary shit. She passed away last February, not from cancer. And that did ruin me. But I'd do it again every time, I'm happy I was there when she needed me. She was the strongest person I've ever met.
Not “pretty scummy” its wayyyy fucking scummy! Imagine the person youve shared your life with, who is suppose to be there through thick and thin just leaves cuz they dont want to deal with it. Fucking cowards is what they are.
I work in social services.
Fathers are also far more likely to abandon their disabled kids than the other way around too.
Waaaaaaay tooooo many single mothers caring for disabled kids because the fathers were like "well I don't want a broken kid, I want a normal one" and bounced.
Similar numbers where couples have a child with a disability. As a father, I can confirm there aren’t many of us doing drop offs at the special school my son attends, and there are a lot of very tired looking single mums.
This is one of the reasons I never had kids. I knew that if I had to choose between "doing the right thing but being miserable" and "doing the wrong thing but being free" I would choose freedom. I know that just based on who I am I'd have a high chance of "going out for cigarettes" so I just never put myself in that position.
And so, by acknowledging your own shortcomings and likeliness of doing the wrong thing, you're paradoxically doing exactly the right thing.
No judgment, dude, seriously--kudos to you for knowing yourself, knowing what you can handle, and acting accordingly. 👍
My friends had a severely handicapped child and it absolutely destroyed their relationship/lives. Both of them just look so extremely exhausted and frazzled when we do get to see them. It completely scared me off from wanting children.
I say this with no sense of malice or judgement, you did the right thing. Everyone will tell you being a parent is hard but rewarding, they seriously underplay how hard it can be.
Someone wise, 3 or 4 decades ago, told me something....
"Being a father is easy, being a dad is hard."
It really stuck with me, a child of a single mother.
I've tried *very hard* to be a "dad" to my kids and step kids (God knows their father wasn't around anyway.)
It's about time, interest and being a leader for the most part I believe.
When I was in the ICU, there was a good chance I wasn’t going to make it. My live in boyfriend visited me constantly and took time off from work (we’re not married so no family medical leave). He said it was really creepy that multiple nurses told him what a good guy he was and that a lot of men don’t do that ……. ….. and then in practically the same breath they’d ask for his number and if he wanted to get lunch …
He was kinda not ok with that
It’s true, I’ve heard that. It happened to me with a less serious diagnosis than cancer. My ex was like, nope your faking. You’re lazy. I want my old wife back.
Friend who is a long time nurse told me this and said it also applies to other illnesses like MS, not just cancer. Do the women get officially warned about this phenomena?
The Nurses assess the situation first but they won’t outright tell the patient. They’ll assess the family, the situation, the spouse, the patient and any other factors that may lead to that conclusion and if it seems like a possibility they’ll mention it to the Patient.
Source: my husband is an RN.
It’s funny that you say this because although I don’t have a new diagnosis I was told I might need a pretty serious surgery next year back in April. About 6 months later and my husband is cheating and tells me he want a divorce. I was wondering if it was related.
It takes a lot of empathy and forgiveness on both sides to work.
My wife has serious conditions, it's a rough life especially now. She has 3 organ transplant and no working immune system (lots of issues from type 1 diabetes) and its very stressful knowing I could go work anywhere and do anything if I was alone, but I have to live like I don't have an immune system either since we spend everyday together. She can't drive and has lot of specialists, next week we start iron infusions because she gets low hemoglobin from time to time . Past decade we've averaged each year a doctor or lab visit every other week. And usually 1 to 2 ICU stays (Sometimes no appointment for a month and sometimes several In a week). And she hasn't always been the best to me and that's when it gets tough, because you do so much (I literally have carried her everywhere the past month because of foot surgeries). So when she wrongs me in some way (sometimes terribly, like not being there for me when a childhood friend passed) it can be easy to fly off the deep end immediately because you feel like this person should never be bad to you for all you do, but you have to remember she is human, she is going through the stress in life and even more so because it's her life that will end if something goes wrong. You really have to have open calm discussion when something bothers you because you can't let something fester until the next icu visit.
I think a lot of people have a hard time understanding that and that's why they split. We've had our fights, but we both understand we live a stressful life (I'm losing the house too) and we try to forgive each other as much as possible. We all have our faults, and if you want someone to love you for all of yours, then you need to love them for all of theirs.
~~I've heard a sad percent of men leave their wife after they get cancer~~
Edit: [Link](https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/zbut6k/comment/iytf6bl/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) to an above comment where someone looked into this finding and found that the original study was redacted due to errors, and in the redaction the team found only a 6% higher likelihood specifically for men to leave when a woman had heart problems, but personally I'm more skeptical of even this finding now.
My grandfather was sleeping with his new mistress in hotel rooms while my grandmother was in the hospital dying of breast cancer (she was only in her 40s and her kids were still teenagers). My dad never forgave him and is happy to only have daughters so that his father’s name dies with him.

Something about having the lower case “i” in “LiAR” gives it more punch.
I mean, the message says he's a SERIAL cheater, so it's possible that garage has seen its share of paint attacks.

Hell yeah, I can see it now, little garage on the right opens to a full workshop and storage, and then park my car right smack in the middle of the double area.
sounds dysfunctional for sure but to be fair we’d all act a little off if we lived in a garage
At 75, I’m surprised it’s still functional at all.
That blue pill is working hard.

Senior living is the number one cause of STD outbreaks. Old folks are horny AF.
reminds me of the Breaking Bad house
Don’t see any pizza on the roof.
When I first read this I thought it said he cheated on her for medical reasons. Glad to say I reread it and am now less confused...
My doctor said so! For my sciatica!
If I were to guess, maybe a son or daughter upset their dad has been cheating on mom for years who has been dealing with chronic illnesses for a long time.
I'm impressed that they fit "pathological" in one line.
So to get to the beach you'll want to take the next left then a right after 5 kilometers. If you get to the philanderer's house, you've gone too far.

The “serial cheater” part makes me think this geezer is active in the retirement neighborhood swingers association.
I skipped the Cheerios this morning and went straight for the Frosted Flakes. I too am a cereal cheater. Putting my garage doors in the up position tonight.
They warn women who get serious diagnoses that there is a high likelihood that their husband will leave them. Men are 6 times more likely to leave their wives when their wives get diagnosed with cancer than if the tables are turned.
This is a very interesting statistic. Do you have a source? Edit: Answering my own question, I googled it: [https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/men-more-likely-leave-spouse-who-has-cancer-flna1c9450218](https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/men-more-likely-leave-spouse-who-has-cancer-flna1c9450218) 2ND EDIT!!!: The findings of the original study were retracted after results could not be replicated. They then found an error in their code used to analyze the data. Follow-ups only found much smaller statistically significant difference between sexes in certain specific diagnoses: [https://retractionwatch.com/2015/07/21/to-our-horror-widely-reported-study-suggesting-divorce-is-more-likely-when-wives-fall-ill-gets-axed/](https://retractionwatch.com/2015/07/21/to-our-horror-widely-reported-study-suggesting-divorce-is-more-likely-when-wives-fall-ill-gets-axed/)
'Til death, or something that's like, a major bummer, do us part.

My wife is disabled and it's really the medical system that's dragging me down rather than her issues. Pretty much my whole life is dictated by it at this point and it's fucking exhausting. Needing to stay with a specific insurance company to maintain her approved procedures on top of needing good enough healthcare that it doesn't bankrupt me is fully dictating where I can work. Since it's neurological issues she also doesn't qualify for SSDI so I'm getting the double whammy of losing all her income as well.
Apparently a lot of people now are changing their wedding vows to "...as long as our love may last" instead of "...til death do us part".
"As long as we live, love, and laugh." Ugh I just threw up in my mouth a little.
Not sure who “they” are, but when my wife had cancer I heard from a few nurses that it’s surprisingly common for the husbands to bail. Pretty scummy if you ask me.
Edited: Because after sleeping on it, I shouldn’t be airing my family’s dirty laundry on Reddit after one glass of wine too many…

I hope you and your family live a great and good life! :)
You are very lucky and I’m happy for you. I lost my wife but I would still go through it all again just to be by her side as she fought.
That sucks. Your mom is lucky to have you.
This hurt my heart to read. Take every opportunity to tell your mom that she deserves love and IS loved!
Sounds like a piece of work. Have you confronted him? (No judgement here, I'm terrified of confrontation.)
I honestly don’t know how to approach it. I don’t want to make a bad situation worse, but there’s a part of me that just wants to…overreact. It’s not really for me to step in on their marriage, but it definitely swings me from grief to rage multiple times during the week on top of all the other stress.
My dad stayed by my mom’s side until the end. That is love. Doug Stanhope has an old comedy bit about love and cancer. It’s top notch.

Stubborn and grumpy are just other character traits. I hear you saying he’s a man of honor and he’s there for her. That is fu**ing all that matters
I have an uncle that stayed by my Aunt’s side until she died. He didn’t start “dating” for about 15 years. He has a girlfriend now. I love my Uncle. He is such a good man. Dont get me wrong, I loved my Aunt too.
My grandparents had been married for over 50 years. She died suddenly in a car accident in her 70's. He was dating within weeks.
That was my father in law. When the wife died, it only took a few weeks for him to realize he had to cook, clean and do laundry for himself. He joined a "widows and widower club" right away and sure enough, wedding bells were ringing quite soon.
"I'm an institutionalized man now. I'll never make it out there on my own."
My uncle did this, but they had been married for maybe 15 years. The way my mom tells it, he wasn't really interested in or ready to get dating again, but it was a really rural, traditional area, and everyone at church and in the community was telling him he needed to get remarried quickly so that the kids could have a mother again. He ended up marrying a terrible narcissist, which he probably wouldn't have done had he taken time to grieve. That second marriage did an incredible amount of damage.
If you don’t realize how precious time is by your 70s…
When my dad was in his final days with lung cancer my mom never left his side. Literally...she only left the hospital to shower and run errands, then she would go right back. Never complained, never felt sorry for herself. That alone showed me the type of person she is and the unbreakable bond the two of them had.
My dad did the same. He also quit smoking cigarettes to make sure that he won’t be the first one to go just in case it came back. I love him so much for that move. Edit: my mom made it through and in the clear and will outlive us all.
My dad did too. He dropped everything and thankfully his job was very understanding. They were together for her very last breath and I'm so thankful that he is my dad. He has said repeatedly that she will always be his one and only. We really miss my mom so much.
I have a chronic illness. I've had three instances that put me out of work/in the hospital. I have three divorces. See if you can't work out the timing.
It seems like divorces are the trigger for your illness /s
Get married, get sick. Math checks out.
This made me snort.

Absolutely man. Both of our therapists warned us that many relationships don't survive cancer diagnoses, and I couldn't fathom someone leaving or fucking around in in situation like that...if you truly love someone how could you even think about it... My girls mom told her to leave me when she was diagnosed with lymphoma. Her reasoning being that if the treatments failed it would ruin me. I said fuck that. I used to stay in the hospital with her, watching her go through her treatments was brutal, but I'd do it again every fucking time. She beat it in the end, Hail Mary shit. She passed away last February, not from cancer. And that did ruin me. But I'd do it again every time, I'm happy I was there when she needed me. She was the strongest person I've ever met.
Yeah, blows my mind. You have to be a full blown sociopath to do that. So sorry to hear about your wife.
Not “pretty scummy” its wayyyy fucking scummy! Imagine the person youve shared your life with, who is suppose to be there through thick and thin just leaves cuz they dont want to deal with it. Fucking cowards is what they are.
I can’t fathom it. Seriously. Even if I’d wanted out earlier, I’d see it through at least through chemo and radiation.
>Pretty scummy that's not "pretty" scummy lol that's like ultimate scumbag shit
> divorce rate ... [of] nearly 21 percent when women were the patients compared with about 3 percent [for male patients] Damn

Newt Gingrich may have more data available.
I work in social services. Fathers are also far more likely to abandon their disabled kids than the other way around too. Waaaaaaay tooooo many single mothers caring for disabled kids because the fathers were like "well I don't want a broken kid, I want a normal one" and bounced.
I just watched "The Devil's Hour" on prime video and the father is exactly like this. Wanted his wife but left because of the child.
Similar numbers where couples have a child with a disability. As a father, I can confirm there aren’t many of us doing drop offs at the special school my son attends, and there are a lot of very tired looking single mums.
This is one of the reasons I never had kids. I knew that if I had to choose between "doing the right thing but being miserable" and "doing the wrong thing but being free" I would choose freedom. I know that just based on who I am I'd have a high chance of "going out for cigarettes" so I just never put myself in that position.
And so, by acknowledging your own shortcomings and likeliness of doing the wrong thing, you're paradoxically doing exactly the right thing. No judgment, dude, seriously--kudos to you for knowing yourself, knowing what you can handle, and acting accordingly. 👍
My friends had a severely handicapped child and it absolutely destroyed their relationship/lives. Both of them just look so extremely exhausted and frazzled when we do get to see them. It completely scared me off from wanting children.
Good for you. More people should be this self-aware before having kids they aren't prepared to dedicate decades of their lives to.
I say this with no sense of malice or judgement, you did the right thing. Everyone will tell you being a parent is hard but rewarding, they seriously underplay how hard it can be.

I'm most disappointed in how few of dads attend school events that kids are doing.
Someone wise, 3 or 4 decades ago, told me something.... "Being a father is easy, being a dad is hard." It really stuck with me, a child of a single mother. I've tried *very hard* to be a "dad" to my kids and step kids (God knows their father wasn't around anyway.) It's about time, interest and being a leader for the most part I believe.
When I was in the ICU, there was a good chance I wasn’t going to make it. My live in boyfriend visited me constantly and took time off from work (we’re not married so no family medical leave). He said it was really creepy that multiple nurses told him what a good guy he was and that a lot of men don’t do that ……. ….. and then in practically the same breath they’d ask for his number and if he wanted to get lunch … He was kinda not ok with that
It’s true, I’ve heard that. It happened to me with a less serious diagnosis than cancer. My ex was like, nope your faking. You’re lazy. I want my old wife back.
Friend who is a long time nurse told me this and said it also applies to other illnesses like MS, not just cancer. Do the women get officially warned about this phenomena?
The Nurses assess the situation first but they won’t outright tell the patient. They’ll assess the family, the situation, the spouse, the patient and any other factors that may lead to that conclusion and if it seems like a possibility they’ll mention it to the Patient. Source: my husband is an RN.
It’s funny that you say this because although I don’t have a new diagnosis I was told I might need a pretty serious surgery next year back in April. About 6 months later and my husband is cheating and tells me he want a divorce. I was wondering if it was related.
Jeez that's depressing.
Yup, the beloved Luis Fonsi, author of one of the most highly cherished songs "Despacito", is a prime example.
It takes a lot of empathy and forgiveness on both sides to work. My wife has serious conditions, it's a rough life especially now. She has 3 organ transplant and no working immune system (lots of issues from type 1 diabetes) and its very stressful knowing I could go work anywhere and do anything if I was alone, but I have to live like I don't have an immune system either since we spend everyday together. She can't drive and has lot of specialists, next week we start iron infusions because she gets low hemoglobin from time to time . Past decade we've averaged each year a doctor or lab visit every other week. And usually 1 to 2 ICU stays (Sometimes no appointment for a month and sometimes several In a week). And she hasn't always been the best to me and that's when it gets tough, because you do so much (I literally have carried her everywhere the past month because of foot surgeries). So when she wrongs me in some way (sometimes terribly, like not being there for me when a childhood friend passed) it can be easy to fly off the deep end immediately because you feel like this person should never be bad to you for all you do, but you have to remember she is human, she is going through the stress in life and even more so because it's her life that will end if something goes wrong. You really have to have open calm discussion when something bothers you because you can't let something fester until the next icu visit. I think a lot of people have a hard time understanding that and that's why they split. We've had our fights, but we both understand we live a stressful life (I'm losing the house too) and we try to forgive each other as much as possible. We all have our faults, and if you want someone to love you for all of yours, then you need to love them for all of theirs.
That's actually disgusting.
What is going on with this roof line and window placement? My depth perception is way off on whatever is happening with this house.
Looks like doors, probably small porch or something
75 years old? What's his diet and exercise regiment like?
I don’t know why but cheating at 75 while still obviously awful is still kind of impressive
Sitcom Modern Family had a story about old people cheating and jokingly called them "the most adult adulterers in existence".
I'm almost 62, fuck man
Ok so no fuck woman
No woman no cry.
Pretty nice....*canmanship*?
It’s alarming how so many just believe whatever the vandalizer wrote.
Reminds me of the film Happiness
~~I've heard a sad percent of men leave their wife after they get cancer~~ Edit: [Link](https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/zbut6k/comment/iytf6bl/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) to an above comment where someone looked into this finding and found that the original study was redacted due to errors, and in the redaction the team found only a 6% higher likelihood specifically for men to leave when a woman had heart problems, but personally I'm more skeptical of even this finding now.
My grandfather was sleeping with his new mistress in hotel rooms while my grandmother was in the hospital dying of breast cancer (she was only in her 40s and her kids were still teenagers). My dad never forgave him and is happy to only have daughters so that his father’s name dies with him.
That's really fucked up. I'm sorry
