Update: 'She wanted me out of the picture': Friend frames husband for cheating so that she can profess her undying love to his wife

This post is crazy. Like positively insane… Whether or not you believe the legitimacy of it, it makes for some brilliant reading that scratches a "true-crime" itch. There's just something astounding about reading stories with this level of gaslighting, manipulation, and scheming—especially since most of us probably can't even fathom actually behaving in this way. Perhaps some of the satisfaction comes from trying to suspend yourself from your normal train of thought and imagine just what that person thought when they decided to act on their nefarious impulse. What led them to conclude that this was the path they should take? Where did it all start? Could I do something like this if my life took a dark turn?

The original post (#1-8) was shared to r/relationship_advice, where the distressed husband first shared what was happening within his relationship. His wife had just kicked him out of the house, accusing him of cheating based on posts to a Reddit account that she was convinced was his. 

The husband then returned to provide an update (#9-20), sharing how he had managed to win-over his in-laws and get their help dealing with the situation. Soon, the source of the manipulation and deceit would be revealed…

Keep reading for screenshots of the original and updated posts, along with some more reactions from a third thread (#21+) where the posts were shared.
