A Reddit user is divorcing his wife because his “psychic” friend falsely informed him that he was cheating.
“AITH for refusing to consider stopping our divorce after my ex-husband admitted he was ‘psychotic’ friend lied About an affair I had?” Reddit user “Successful-Top3827” asked in a post on Reddit’s “AITAH” subreddit on Friday, May 3.
“AITAH” means “Am I an a-hole here.”
It’s similar to the “Am I an A–hole” subreddit.

“But our wedding I met an old friend of hers, Anna. She offered to read my palms because she was partly Gypsy,” he said — which he found “weird,” he said.
“I work in construction and I know some people from that group and they call themselves Roma,” he said.
Successful-top3827 said, Ana is a tailor in New York City and doesn’t come often. He and his wife saw him only “maybe four times” during the past two years, most recently during Labor Day in 2023.

He said, “And then it got weird. Suddenly the crying started behaving weird.”
“She starts checking up on me at work. Comes over when I’m working late. Asks to use my phone because hers is almost dead. That kind of thing.” ”
After all, Rona accused successful-top3827 having an affair – which he thought was a joke.
“It burns him like a Roman candle.”
“I laugh and say I’m not,” he said. “It sets him off like a Roman candle. Because Anna told him I’d laugh it off when crying brought out the truth.”
He revealed that successful-top3827 laughed because the concept of their affair was “ridiculous” due to his work schedule and the fact that he is with his wife most of the time when he is not at work, he said .

“And yet that mental seamstress gives more importance to Anna’s words than mine.”
Rona then asked successful-top3827 out, and she refused — because she had nowhere else to go, she wrote. Instead, the crying went in with her parents,
“My dad told me to shake my head, he only does that when I’m extremely stupid.”
He wrote to others, “They think he’s crazy too.”
