What wild dating story begins with a shrine to an ex?
Hello, and welcome to Reddit Stories. I'm Shane, and today's theme is all about some wild dating stories. And I am joined by two people who I think have had wild dating lives, Tommy and Chance. Woo!
You just kick him on the leg down. If we both did that, the couch would fall apart.
It would just rip in half. You can do yours now if you want to.
It's a good roller coaster right there. Thank you. So these stories apparently pretty wild.
That's great.
Apparently. I mean, I feel like most of the dating ones are. Yeah.
People get crazy in love.
Yeah. It's true. Okay. Shall we just go get right into it? Let's do it. Okay. I'm down for some wild stories. We know this first one's going to be good because it comes from Best of Redditor Updates. Okay. Love it. It's going to be a couple parts to this. The guy I'm dating, this is a 36-year-old man, has a shrine to my, 37-year-old woman, ex-husband in his house. The guy I'm dating has a shrine to my ex-husband in his house. The guy I'm dating has a shrine to his? The writer's ex-husband in his house.
You have an ex-husband, you're dating me, I have a shrine to your ex-husband. Why?
I was married for seven years to a celebrity. And there we go. celebrity in quotes. I put it in quotes because while most of you have never heard of him, he is a A-list in the world of metal music. If you're a metal head, you 100% know who he is. Maybe someone in this room might know, have an idea. As we discuss this, We split amicably because he was always going on tour. I used to love going with him, but the thrill of it wore off and I found myself sick of traveling so much. Because of this, we grew apart, but still keep in contact occasionally because despite the fact our marriage didn't work, he is a really cool, nice person. Two weeks ago, I met a guy through a friend that I immediately hit it off with. We have been on three dates so far.
The first two dates were drinks after work. He showed up in nice khakis and a button down both times. On our latest date, I went to his house to watch a movie. Literally watch a movie. We are taking the physical stuff slow, lol. He has a nice house, so I asked for a tour. After he showed me the upstairs, he said he had to show me his game room. We went down into a fully furnished basement with a pool table, a mini bar, and darts. Okay. But there was something very weird down there also. Apparently my new man is really into metal music. Would never have guessed based on how he dresses. And his favorite artist of all time is, you guessed it, my ex-husband.
Yes.
How did a boyfriend steal a stranger's ice cream?
He had framed posters of all my ex's bands, autographed signature guitars, and every record he has ever released were framed on the walls. He even had magazine articles about him and some of his bands framed. Every wall in his game room was covered with my ex's face and his signature guitars. So I may have messed up here, but I kept my mouth shut and didn't say anything. He knows I'm divorced, but he definitely doesn't know it's from his idol. Girl. We are seeing each other tonight for our fourth date and I know I need to tell him, but how? I really like this guy, but I'm afraid if I tell him he will freak out and run. What should I say? Where should I tell him? I just don't wanna damage our relationship because I can really see it becoming long term.
I know I should have told him at his house, but honestly I was in shock. Does anybody know how to approach this?
And he has his final part of the collection, his ex-wife. Yeah, wow.
I finally collected everything.
Are we sure he doesn't know? Yes, that's what I was gonna ask.
If he's a big fan.
If he has got magazine articles, he's got all this shit, he knows he was married to someone. Yeah. This dude knows. If he's a die hard. He's a die hard. He's like, I wanna, I wanna kiss the girl that he kissed. No, no. He's got to know. But also, she should have told him right then, right there. Because also, he knows. She should have been like, oh, he definitely knows this guy. He probably knows who I am. Right then, right there, get it over with, rip off the bandaid.
