But with the context of everything else? I honestly think it is a slightly poorly worded glowingly happy wife, celebrating the man she loves and cherishes. She is amazed that instead of going out and buying a chunky yarn blanket for her, or asking his aunt to make one for her, that he decided to try something new to learn a new skill for just the sake of learning it.

*First Story:* “I won't insult your intelligence by suggesting that you really believe what you just said.” ― William F. Buckley Jr.

I want that... My marriage ended 3 weeks ago... I was with this person for 10 years... But we grew apart, there was no drama or wrongdoing, we just grew apart... I'm heartbroken but hopeful... I've heard somewhere that our true love is either the first or last. I mean to make it so it is the last in my case. I just got really anxious to have someone to surprise with a yarn blanket or to get such a surprise from... But alas, sometimes life is bitter so we savor it like coffee. If you reached this point thanks for reading my rant... You're one of the good ones!

I'll admit, I like the unexpectedly wholesome stories the best, they always bring a smile to my face

Yeah no, the boyfriend is a cheater and gaslighter if you’re going to try and do a 3 way sort of relationship there’s a lot of discussion that goes into it beforehand, not only that but it’s not something you just spring up like a “surprise!!!” sort of thing… plus both partners should be involved.

Story 1:"I wanted to suprise you and fulfill your fantasy"? BRO,WHAT IN THE WALUIGI HOUDINI FLIP?!?

Story 1: Being that he didn’t know OP was coming home yet, how long was he “fluffing,” the girl for her. I’ve heard some really BAD excuses for cheating, but I think he’s a record holder at this point.

The blanket hubby is the kind of guy you’d want to spend your 50th anniversary with.

The last story made me cry😭😭 It's so thoughtful and sweet of op's husband, not only does he pay attention to her wants, he also took time to learn a new skill, choosing op's favourite color for the yarn and keeping it a secret from her all while still taking care of their children. Op is blessed to have someone who loves her like that. It's making ME jealous

It's so refreshing to have a wholesome story amongst the not so wholesome ones. Thanks ☺

I thought the husband was cheating too based off the title. "He doesn't know I know" Me: "Yep he's cheating". But no he's a great husband who's terrible at keeping secrets

OP 1 came home early, and he had no way to know she was coming home early. He wanted to eat his cake and passionately hug it too.

Nah that’s the guilt in the first story. Had he been telling the truth, he wouldn’t have been immediately running off at the mouth and sputtering with excuses.

Surprise Threesome: my father told me a story once where he was dating two girls at the same time, and one day he accidentally scheduled them both to show up at his house on the same day. out of desperation he tried "so I bet you're wondering why I've asked you both here..." he said one of them hesitated, and might have actually gone for it, but the other one was an instant "no", and that was the end of that. I think the same thing is going on here, he was just trying to gaslight her in an attempt to save the situation.

That last story was delightfully wholesome. I enjoy those kind of stories, warms my heart.

That last story was the auditory equivalent of watching baby animals snuggling, and I needed it bad!

Are we absolutely certain that OP's BF (in Story 1) isn't _Handsome_ Jack..?

Surprise!!! It’s a 3-wayyy!! We got started without you; hope you don’t mind.

Ngl I was also fooled by the last story. I wasn't expecting such a wholesome surprise. Maybe that's saying something about me or the nature of most reddit stories but even Rslash was surprised.

Last story about the blanket: That is so adorable! And even though the husband couldn't keep it a secret, it was a nice gesture to let OP choose the next color. I'm working on a blanket myself for my mom for Mother's Day, and I have almost slipped up a couple of times about my knitting progress, but I will desperately try to keep my mouth shut. It is almost done, but I'll still have to wait like a month until I can actually give it to her. It won't be perfect, it has "character", but I hope she will like it 😂

Last story: Who saw it coming that the OP's husband was making her a blanket? That was so sweet it hurt my teeth. Such a thoughtful husband.

It is so nice to hear a wholesome story about a married couple, for once! I teared up over that last story!

This is the most wholesome "I know what my husband is up to" ever!! 🥰

I used to work on a road crew. A guy was caught cheating, told his wife the side chick threatened to harm his wife if he didn't sleep with her and the wife bought it.

*City Lawyer:* Stop saying bad stuff or we'll sue y- _[ACLU Lawyer walks up]_ Why do I hear boss music?"

I love the wholesome ending, I think it would be nice to have a wholesome story more often at the end of the videos! Some of these people are just too much sometimes, and a small cute story is always good to hear :)

Omg I recently started crocheting and making a whole ass blanket is QUITE the task, especially as a beginner fiber artist. Chucky yarn will work up quicker of course, because it's larger but that is still such a massive act of love from the husband

It’s funny because even if his story WAS true, which it’s obviously not, why would the girl act shocked and confused/cover herself up if that was the case. Wouldn’t she have done something like smile at her and encourage her to join?

I was so happy when the last story turned out to be about a husband doing something nice for his wife. Normally on reddit, if the spouse is talking about "me" time, it turns into something bad. Nice to have happy stories too.

If anyone is curious what a rendering plant does- they make dog food and cat food. They collect dead cats and dogs from SPCAs and veterinarians. They collet roadkill, dead farm animals, dead zoo animals and rotten meat from stores. They then put all this "material" into a grinder and boil the ground meat down, then dehydrate it for Purina or Iams or many other cheap pet food. It's literally Soilent Green for your dog or cat 😢

Story 1: gotta give credit to the ex boyfriend, he was committed to his bullsh*t reason to cheat Story 3: my god this story is so wholesome I love it

That last story is so cute. I wish that couple all the best

If you can add a wholesome story once a week, it might give us some hope for humanity. What a wonderful, sweet husband!

The website isn't hurting the town. The town government is hurting the town. The website is just informing the public.

Story 2: One of the stipulations should have been that they give another "in person" interview on the news discrediting the previous interview/claims the city made, with the apology letter being available to the news station so it could be (partially) read on-air. It would have killed them (city leaders) on the inside to have to admit to wrongdoing. Also, would have stipulated that the laws actually be enforced against the business instead of just letting them get away with it.
