A Reddit user named Successful-Top3827 shared on the “AITAH” subreddit that he is proceeding with a divorce from his wife after her psychic friend falsely accused him of having an affair. The user had been married to his wife, Rhona, whom he met in college, for some time before the psychic friend, Anna, made the accusation. Despite having a loving relationship with his wife and being with her most of the time outside of work due to his job in construction, Rhona chose to believe Anna and accused Successful-Top3827 of cheating. This led to Rhona asking him to move out, which he refused to do as he had nowhere else to go. Instead, Rhona moved in with her parents as Successful-Top3827 tried to prove his innocence.
Despite his attempts to convince his wife that he was not cheating, Rhona’s family intervened during Christmas and told Successful-Top3827 that she was not coming out of her delusion. In January, the Reddit user started the divorce process, and in April, Rhona called him to admit that there was no evidence of an affair. She wanted to reconcile, but Successful-Top3827 declined, revealing that he would be moving to Denver to be closer to his family. Despite her family urging him to seek marriage counseling instead of divorcing, the Reddit user was firm in his decision.
Many Reddit users responded to Successful-Top3827’s post, supporting his decision to divorce Rhona after she chose to believe her psychic friend over her husband. The consensus was that he made the right choice to move on from the relationship, especially considering the extent to which Rhona went to try to uncover infidelity that never existed. One user pointed out the potential dangers of being in a relationship with someone who is easily influenced and suggested that the situation could have been much worse if they had children together. Overall, the majority of comments supported Successful-Top3827’s decision to end the marriage and move forward with his life.
Successful-Top3827 reiterated his stance on not wanting to reconcile with Rhona despite her family’s attempts to intervene. He expressed doubts about ever being able to trust her again and noted that he did not want to have children with someone he considered to be unstable. The Reddit user was clear in his decision to move on from the relationship and start anew, even though it meant facing Rhona’s disappointment and depression over the divorce. Ultimately, he prioritized his own well-being and future happiness over re-entering a marriage that had been tainted by false accusations and doubts.
The Reddit post attracted thousands of comments, with most users agreeing that Successful-Top3827 was not in the wrong for choosing to divorce his wife after her unfounded accusations. Some users pointed out the potential risks of being in a relationship with someone who is quick to believe baseless claims and suggested that the psychic friend’s actions served as a warning sign for deeper issues within the marriage. Overall, the response to the Reddit user’s post was supportive of his decision to prioritize his own mental well-being and move forward from a relationship that had been tainted by mistrust and false accusations.
