Hey, I'm Ike Barenholtz. On my new show, Funny You Ask, trivia starts the conversation, and then things immediately go off the rails. I ask a question. My guests think they know the answer. Sometimes they do. More often, they do not. And then the conversation takes a turn. One trivia question turns into stories about career highs, painful bombs, and behind the scenes moments that probably should have remained private. You'll hear confidence. Misplaced confidence, bold guesses, wrong answers, quick laughs, and the slow realization that maybe this was a bad idea to say out loud. If you like smart comedy, sharp conversations, and trivia that exists purely to melt people's brains, this is Funny You Ask with me, Ike Barenholz.

How does the son discover his mother’s open‑marriage and what triggers the family confrontation?

Welcome to R slash Am I the Devil, where OP's wife sleeps with her son's friend. Our next Reddit post comes from R slash non monogamy. Five days ago, my son, who's 20, came home from college claiming his mother was cheating on me with one of his classmates. I was completely caught off guard. He said that a classmate was bragging to a mutual friend. Mike, my son's friend who's been to our House many times about hooking up with an older woman. Then the classmate showed Mike a picture of the woman, and it was my wife. Mike didn't say anything to the classmate, but he called my son immediately. My son came home furious, convinced my wife was cheating. I stepped out under the excuse of picking up dinner, which I actually did, and I called my wife to tell her what happened.

She started panicking and said she was. Scared to come home to face him. I told her we had to come clean and explain the truth. That night we sat down for a family meeting. My son was already yelling, asking why we were pretending when he knew the truth. I asked him to calm down and let us talk. I told him that my wife and I opened our marriage five years ago, that we both see other people occasionally, and that we still love each other and are committed to our open marriage and our Family. My wife apologized for him finding out this way and said that she would be more careful in choosing partners.

What did the parents reveal about their open marriage during the family meeting?

My son said that he needed time to process this and went to bed. My wife cried afterwards, saying he would never accept us. I told her to give him space. The next morning, my son came downstairs for breakfast. My wife tried to hug him and he physically pushed her away and called her a lady of the night. I told him to apologize immediately. He ignored me and asked her how many of his friends and classmates she had slept with. When my wife tried to apologize again, he told us he couldn't respect us anymore and called us disgusting. I warned him to watch his words, and he told me to screw myself and he left for school. My wife broke down crying. I told her to take the day off work and to not engage with him until he's ready.

Since then, he's been cold and distant, barely speaking to either of us. I understand this was a huge shock to him, but the insults and disrespect towards his mother are not okay. We don't want to lose our son over this, we're still the same parents who raised him, and nothing about our love for our family has changed. Then OP posted an update. So a lot has happened these past few weeks. My son went into tell. My parents about the situation. I had to threaten to remove funding for his college to prevent him. He went to individual therapy and we did family therapy a week ago.
