The first story really hits home for me. In 2001,my ex wife took the bus home from work. She was harassed by a homeless guy. He followed her off the bus and chased after her. She got to the pharmacy nearby and begged them to let her in because they were closed. They let her in and locked the door before the guy got to it. And then threatened to call the cops. She called me and I rushed home from work. I looked for the guy after hearing the description. Didn’t find him. Several months later while watching the news,the cops caught a serial rapist in our city. She cried and told me that was the guy that followed her that night. To say I was enraged and disappointed that I didn’t find him,still bothers me.

She gave him her phone number obviously and the way she talked about her husband was trash. And, she lied. How’d she wire 3k and her husband not notice unless they have separate bank accounts but she said he brings in the income. Same for my husband. He’d get the “to the left…you must not know bout me.”

Maybe she could have found a healthier outlet or gotten a job? Gone to school for some job training and found a career if she felt she had no independence? Offered to try couple’s counseling? If you decide to get married and have children, time to grow up instead of engaging in absolutely fruitless activity while blaming someone else.

That’s why my mom always told my sister and I growing up…always have a job and a degree and money saved. That way when u get married or live with someone and things go bad…you can leave when u want and not be stuck. We are both independent women til this day. We don’t need no man’s money.

On behalf of the town of Flagstaff, to the guy who came to visit the Grand Canyon, I am so, so sorry that happened to you.

Every time you get drunk in a bar could end up scary. I have had two knifes and a gun pulled on me over the years. The gun was from a girl at a Bachelorette party. I was just chatting with the lady to be married. She was flirting with me, her sister didn't like that to much. Just be carful cause some people you just meet, especially in bars, might not be who you think they are.

I’m literally cleaning my grandmother’s house at the moment and I’ve been listening to these stories. I feel so called out right now 😂

I just absolutely love your voice, a lot of other narrators are good but I swear yours just has the most human part to it, like emotions and stuff while reading. Thanks for soothing nights!

i got so scared for story 1 i heard ventura and i got chills (i live in camarillo about 1 town over) great story ‼️

I feel like the main problem with a lot of ppl in these stories is that they’re too timid and afraid of confrontation, they’re too scared to anger a person to realize that they’re already angry and want to hurt u so talking won’t help. I tried to calm down a situation by talking and I ended up getting jumped that’s when I realized there’s no point in talking if u see a tense situation just leave and if u can’t leave say firmly that u don’t want trouble so it’s known that you’re not the aggressor and if they still persist then attack them as viciously as u can if u have a fun shoot them if u have a knife stab them u can’t be afraid to hurt or kill someone cause then it’s u that will be on the wrong end of it. I always carry at least 1 knife and I don’t want to hurt anybody but if someone wants to hurt me then I feel absolutely no guilt or remorse I’m going to cut u up and all I’ll think about is if the situation was reversed would u have sympathy for me? Would u show me mercy? Probably not so you’ll get none from me

Married miserable housewife did not deserve the extortion from a d bag at the bar … But she was like the perfect example of why I believe it’s a genuine mistake to marry any woman that isn’t independent. Also does go along with the old adage what’s done in darkness will be brought to light 💡. And the grass isn’t usually greener on the other side 😉.

So weird how I was literally getting ready to do my laundry lol

Story #5 - I think the lady omitted and added other things from/to the story. I suspect the guy at the bar was purposely placed to lure her...maybe from her husband to get a "clean" divorce and custody of the kids. Think about it out of all the women she says she was with...yeah the guy happened to single her out. So either she's lying about meeting him with her girlfriends or she was set up. Also if you are a stay at home wife with no income of your own, why would you wire 3 grand from an account that your husband has access to. This is stupid and a clear sign of set up. I think her husband knew that she was unhappy and thinking of filing for divorce since she clearly has no problem telling people about her marriage problems. He simply beat her to it. There are people in this world that lend themselves for a fee to set up others.

I'd like to see news articles of that last story
