A 29-year-old man took to Reddit to ask about a delicate situation he found himself in, but he got called out for what he did behind his wife’s back.

He started his story explaining that he and his wife, who is black, tied the knot after dating for around a year. One of the reasons why they got married that soon was that she got pregnant.

Their union functioned perfectly and the two were very happy together, being convinced they did the right thing.

Things, however, changed when their son was born.

Just to note, the man posted the story after the couple already welcomed two children together, the son, who was five at the time, and a daughter, who was three.

Following his daughter’s arrival into the world, the man started having certain doubts, but not about the baby girl but about his son. As he explained, his son was much darker than his wife while the daughter was whiter than her mother. This raised some questions not only at the man but also at those around him, including his family and friends.

“He is noticeably darker than my wife,” the man posted.

However, although he had doubts, he loved his son and decided to trust his wife, although he someone believed that there was a chance that the boy wasn’t his.

His doubts became bigger upon the arrival of the couple’s daughter who was whiter and had blue eyes. What’s most, he noticed that his part of the family bonded with his daughter faster than they did with his son.

“I never realized how powerful it is to know a child is yours,” the man wrote among the rest.

Despite all this, he never let his wife or his son learn of his doubts. According to him, he treated both his children equally.

Soon after, he started feeling resentment against his son. He wrote, “It felt unfair that I had to care for someone else’s child. I also began to resent my wife because I felt she had betrayed me,” and then confessed, “I finally got a paternity test in secret.”

The test results showed that the boy was his. The man was relieved and the relationship between him and his wife improved significantly, although she was not even aware of her husband’s doubts or the DNA test.

They even talked about having a third child.

Everything seemed to fall into place for the man, but he couldn’t live with the fact that he took the test behind his wife’s back. So, after thinking about it long and hard, he decided to confess her because he believed she would understand his reasons for doing such a thing.

Instead, his wife lost it and asked him if he’d doubted their daughter too; but when he said he didn’t, she called him a racist.

The man denied being racist and shared how he didn’t prefer his daughter because of her “whiter features” but because he knew she was his child because of the resemblance to him. His wife, however, accused him of having made their son feel unloved for years and for no reason, but he disagreed, saying he’d treated the boy like his own despite his doubts.

Redditors agreed that what he did was totally wrong and said his wife didn’t overreact but she had the right to be mad at him. Many even deserved him being called racist.

One user wrote his skin crawled at the mention that the man’s family didn’t bond with the boy because he was darker.

Another one added that the man should pray his son never finds out what he did.

Three blondes were sitting by river…

Three blondes were sitting by the side of a river holding fishing poles with the lines in the water.

A game warden came up behind them, tapped one on the shoulder and said, “Excuse me, ladies, I’d like to see your fishing licenses.”

“We don’t have any,” replied the first blonde.

“Well, if you’re going to fish, you need fishing licenses.”

“But officer,” replied the second blonde, “we aren’t fishing. We all have magnets at the end of our lines and we’re collecting debris off the bottom of the river.”

The warden lifted up all the lines and, sure enough, there were magnets tied on the end of each line.

“Well, I know of no law against it,” said the warden, “take all the debris you want.” And with that, he left.

As soon as he was out of sight, the three blondes started laughing hysterically.

“What a dumb cop,” the second blonde said to the other two, “doesn’t he know that there are steel head trout in this river?!”

How much has she changed? Fans could not identify the 66-year-old star in the paparazzi photo

Enhancing one’s appearance with the help of plastic surgeries isn’t anything new. In fact, many people go under the knife when they are not satisfied with their looks, but the truth is that this phenomenon is most present in the world of celebrities, especially Hollywood. The reason why is that most of them need to look impeccable for the sake of landing roles and have their careers going.

One of the celebs which sought eternal youth and beauty but regretted the decision of turning to plastic surgeries is Melanie Griffith. This Hollywood diva, who’s the daughter of famed actress Tippi Hedren and the mother of Dakota Johnston, opened up about her life, her divorce, and the effect plastic surgeries had on her life and her career.

Back in 2017, in an exclusive interview with Porter magazine, Griffith revealed that she wasn’t aware how much her looks changed until people started talking about it.

“No, I didn’t [realize] until people started saying, ‘Oh my god, what has she done?!’ I was so hurt,” Griffith said. “I went to a different doctor, and he started dissolving all of this s**t that this other woman doctor had put in. Hopefully, I look more normal now.”

However, what affected her appearance weren’t the surgeries only. The actress also opened up of her addiction with alcohol and how that affected the lives of her three children.

“I was a totally functioning mom,” she said. “I wasn’t like a drunk-on-the-floor, out-of-it person, I didn’t do some things I probably should have done but, mostly, I was there for my kids. They had a sort of privileged gypsy life.”

Griffith sought professional help and checked into rehab three times throughout her life, in 1988, 2000, and then in 2009.

Recently, paparazzi photos of her appeared online and fans are ‘shocked’ with the way she looks.

But at the end of the day, what matters most is for a person to accept themselves and Griffith did just that.

Woman sneaks out from the restaurant when her fiancé demands she pays the bill

Although the times we live in are modern and we’ve made a huge progress when it comes to the equality of pays between men and women, there are still some who believe that women don’t deserve to be paid more.

A woman took to Reddit to share a story of how her fiance’s behavior towards her changed after she got a 30% salary increase.

“I (F33) have been engaged to my fiance (M37) for 5 months. We don’t share finance because that’s what he wants. I got a raise on my salary. Now I earn 30% more than he does and I noticed that he’s been using this to ask me to pay for him and his friends. Whenever I say “no” or “why should I pay for this?” he’d respond with “the 30% that’s why.” He acts as if the 30% is unfair or that I’m not deserving of it,” the woman started her post.

What’s most, he tricked her to spend money on him and his friends before, and she was now determined to not let that happen again. “Several times he has tricked me to pay for his and his friend’s meals by asking me publicly. Let me say that I’m too nice to say ‘no,’ I hate confrontation especially when we’re at a public place like a restaurant so I just grin and pay. Last Tuesday, he asked me to join him and his buddies for dinner. I told him from the start I wasn’t paying for their food and he shouldn’t expect me to. He said he ‘got this’ and ‘no worries.’”

However, in the middle of their meal, he whispered to her that she should cover the bill for the night. “We got to the restaurant. Met his friends, ordered food. And in the middle of the meal he leaned in and whispered that I would be paying for everything he and his friends ordered. I got so mad I whispered back “noooo” but he probably relied on me not causing a scene in public and in front of his friends. He said ‘you have enough money you could pay for everyone’s food, 30% remember?’”

Pexel

“I was fuming inside. Instead of reacting negatively and losing my temper, I waited til the bills arrived (they were already split from the start when we first ordered) I paid for mine then I excused myself to the restroom. I then sneaked out from there, got into my car and went home.”

Since she didn’t return to the table, her fiance started calling her and texting her. “I started getting phone calls from my fiance then texts asking where I was. I texted back saying I didn’t appreciate how he put me in this situation and basically tricking me into paying for his and his friends food and I told him I went home then stopped replying.”

When he got home, the two had a heated argument.

Pexel

“An hour later he came and started yelling at me calling me selfish, irrational, cheapskate and childish for sneaking out like that and leaving him stuck with a bill he could not pay (He had to call his brother for help). We had a loud argument then he walked out. His friends didn’t speak to me on this but he told me they’re disappointed in my behavior and are telling him to take time and ‘reflect’ on the type of woman he’s gonna be married to.”

Roseanne Barr: ‘They hate me because I have talent, because I have an opinion’

By

A comedy genius? Roseanne Barr has to be one of the names that comes to mind.

Barr was the central figure in Roseanne, the American television sitcom created by Matt Williams which aired on ABC from October 18, 1988, to May 20, 1997. The show reached huge success and people seemed to have missed the life of the Conner family who lived in the fictional town of Lanford, Illinois, so the story about the working-class American family millions of people fell for got renewed from March 27, 2018, to May 22, 2018.

The reason ABC decided to reverse the decision of the show’s renewal and canceled Roseanne after initially announcing they would release an 11th season of 13 episodes were Barr’s comments about former Obama administration official Valerie Jarrett.

In a tweet, Barr compared Jarrett to the “Planet of the Apes” movies. Amid fierce backlash, the actress claimed she didn’t know Valerie was Black and said she was on Ambien at the time, therefore not thinking clearly.

Barr’s series of racist and Islamophobic comments on Twitter were described by the network’s president as “abhorrent, repugnant, and inconsistent with our values.”

On June 21, 2018, ABC announced plans to re-tool the show as a spin-off continuation involving the Conner family without Roseanne, titled The Conners. The show is still on air.

Speaking of the decision to write her character off, Barr said of the network, “Oh my God, they just hated me so badly. I had never known that they hated me like that.

“They hate me because I have talent, because I have an opinion. Even though ‘Roseanne’ became their number one show, they’d rather not have a number one show.”

Barr accused ABC of denying her a chance to apologize for her comments.

“I’m the only person who’s lost everything, whose life’s work was stolen, stolen by people who I thought loved me. And there was silence,” she told the Times. “There was no one in Hollywood really defending me publicly, except for Mo’nique, who is a brave, close, dear friend.”

She further said that her colleagues, Dave Chappelle and Louis C.K weren’t given the same harsh treatment she received. Back in 2017, Louis admitted to performing sexual acts in front of female colleagues while Dave faced backlash for making transphobic jokes in a Netflix special. Both comedians won Grammys following the incidents in question.

“They didn’t do it to anyone else in Hollywood, although they always throw in Dave Chappelle and Louis C.K. Well, Louis C.K. did lose everything, but he committed an actual [offense],” Barr said.

Almost six years after Roseanne was canceled, the actress told Los Angeles Times, “I’ve survived. I’ve come out on the other side of it, finally. But it was a witch-burning. And it was terrifying. It was.”

She has also lost contact with a number of colleagues and co-workers.

“I can’t know what they think or feel. I don’t know why they did what they did. I’m not like them. I realized that. I can’t believe what they did, with all the pain that I went through to bring the show back. And it didn’t faze them to murder my character, either,” she shared.

But Barr says she’s not bitter. This year, she’s returning on TV with a new comedy special for Fox Nation. In a preview of the special, she asks the crowd, “Has anyone else here been fired recently?”

Who is Melania Trump’s sister, Ines Knauss? Inside her close bond with secret sibling

By

Melania Trump is a name known world-wide. Being married to the Former President of the United States of America and business mogul Donald Trump, it doesn’t come as a surprise that the public is interested in her private life. She, however, tends to stay out of the spotlight, which is also true for her son Baron and another person very close to the former First Lady, her older sister Ines Knauss.

Growing up, the two sisters shared a very strong bond, and today, that hasn’t changed even a bit.

The sisters were born in Novo Mesto, Slovenia, but grew up in the small railway town of Sevnica. Their father, Viktor, who was a car mechanic and chauffeur, and their mother, Amalija, who worked as a pattern-maker at a clothing factory, were able to provide a good life for Melania and Ines.

“I grew up with a beautiful family and had a wonderful childhood,” Melania Trump said. “My mother and father taught us the importance of education, hard work and family.”

Viktor and Amalija took their daughters on vacations in France, Italy, and Germany. Today, they live in the States but they still own their home in Slovenia which they visit several times a year.

The two sisters were always dressed impeccably as their mom spent hours designing and making clothes for them. Later on, Melania designed the clothes her mother sewed for her herself.

“She was very pretty,” Tomšič, who has run a local hospital to which Melania donated $25,000 after marrying Donald Trump, told GQ in 2016. “She was always very fancy.”

At the age of 16, Melania was scouted by fashion photographer Stane Jerko who spotted her leaning on a fence while leaving a fashion show at the Festival Hall.

“By the staircase at the entrance, I saw this girl,” Jerko recalled. “She was tall, slim, with long hair. I told her who I was, what I did, and why I would photograph her.”

It was back in 1987 when young Melania decided to drop out of the University of Ljubljana and focus on modeling instead. It took her only a year to get a contract with a modeling agency in Milan.

Once in Milan, Melania focused on her goal of making a name for herself and went home after work instead of partying.

“She kept to herself, she was a loner. After a shoot or a catwalk, she went home, not out. She didn’t want to waste time partying,” Jerko said.

Melania didn’t embark on this adventure by herself, her sister Ines, who also wanted a career in the world fashion, as a designer, accompanied her.

Speaking of Ines, Paris-based photographer Ale de Basseville who took the nude photos of Melania for the French magazine told the New York Post, “She really wanted to be in fashion but didn’t know how to break in.

“Ines wasn’t like the other girls you would meet there, who behave like queens. She was really polite and very mellow.”

When Melania met famous Italian businessman Paolo Zampolli, who helped her get a work visa to the U.S., her sister went with her.

At a Kit Kat Club event during the New York Fashion Week in 1998, Zampolli brought a friend, Donald Trump. He was with a date that night, but when he saw Melania, he immediately wanted to know more about her.

One of Melania’s friends, Edit Molnar, spoke of that night and explained that Donald asked Melania for her number, but she didn’t give it to him because he wasn’t alone. “Melania said, ‘He’s here with a woman. I am absolutely not giving him my number,’” Molnar told New York Post. “She wouldn’t even consider it. Donald did all the work.”

Melania also spoke of the night she first met Donald Trump. “He wanted my number,” she told Tatler. “But he was on a date, so of course I didn’t give it to him. I said, ‘I am not giving you my number; give me yours and I will call you.’ If I give him my number, I’m just one of the women he calls.”

Well, the rest is history, and as much as Melania wants to ‘hide’ from the world, we still know a thing or two about her, which can’t be said about Ines.

According to People, Ines was her sister’s maid-of-honor at her wedding to Donald Trump.

Ines is reported to be residing in a Trump-owned apartment—in a building on the Upper East Side in which Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump also resided before they moved into their new home. Her apartment is just four blocks away from her sister’s triplex penthouse at Trump Tower.

Palm Beach philanthropist Audrey Gruss met Ines at a fundraiser for the Boys’ Club of New York at Mar-a-Lago in 2005. She said Ines struck her “as a lovely person, and extremely creative,” adding that the two sisters are extremely close.

Ines appears to be an artist. In the past, Melania shared on the social media illustrations done by her sister.

Speaking to The Post, Milan-based fashion designer Luisa Beccaria confirmed that the two sisters are like best friends and added that when Barron was born, Melania relied on her sister the most. “Melania had all the professional help she needed at that point,” he said. “But it was her sister she trusted.”

Mom of two puts hidden recorder in house, checks it, then forbids mother-in-law to see her kids

Family matters can easily escalate when some of the members don’t get along. Sadly, this is especially true for mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law. It could be that the MIL has a hard time accepting that her son has a family on their own and she’s no longer the most important woman in his life.

One woman took to the AITA subreddit to share her story.

According to her, it all started when she married and her MIL announced she would be living with her and her husband. Although the woman didn’t like the idea, her husband was determined to open the doors to their home to his mother.

The MIL, who felt resentment towards the woman because she believed she had stolen her son from her, lacked boundaries. Among the rest, she manipulated her son at will.

At the time, the couple had two children, a two-year-old son and a six-month-old daughter. The girl was a cheerful one and rarely cried. She would often smile at her grandma, but as the woman noticed, her MIL would never smile back. It was as though she didn’t like the children too.

The woman’s husband worked from home, but he was on his computer all the time, so when the woman wound a part-time job, it was the MIL who took care of the children.

Later on, however, the woman noticed a drastic change in her children’s behavior, but she was aware that speaking to her husband wouldn’t change anything because he would just dismiss her observations. So, she decided to install a camera in the house and be sure that her MIL treats the little ones as she was supposed to.

Source: Getty Images

One day, while checking on the camera she secretly installed, the woman was shocked to hear her MIL spending hours berating her in conversation with her husband.

But was was even more shocking was how the MIL verbally abused her children. She referred to them as pigs and monkeys, among the rest. The MIL repeatedly told the girl that she’s hated and not loved by anyone.

“She [spent] around 6 hours talking to my babies like that and verbally [abusing] them,” the woman said of her MIL.

When she confronted her husband about it, he criticized her for recording their private conversations. “When I talked to my husband about what happened and made him listen to the audio, first he told me that I was out of limit and I was out of character to put a [recorder] in the house,” the wife noted.

Further, the husband said that his mother had a problem with her, not the children. He defended her and tried to rationalize her behavior towards the kids.

Source: Shutterstock

But besides what her husband thought, the woman made a firm decision not to let her MIL around her children if there is no another adult with them.

“[My husband] told me that I can be mad at his mother, but the kids are not mad at her, I am the one who has a problem with his mother but the kids don’t have any problem with her and [it’s] petty of me to not allow her to see the kids again,” shared the woman. “He also said that I have to do the right thing, her mom is still the [kids’] grandmother, the kids must have a relationship with her and I have to let go.”

Source: Shutterstock

Two weeks after the incident, the MIL returned to her home country, but six months later, she returned again. The husband tried to convince the woman to let her live with them again, but she said no.

The husband then decided to find a separate apartment for his mother. The woman is still not letting her MIL be around her children all by herself but wonders if she’s too harsh and whether she should reconsider her decision or not.

The redditors stood by her side and told her she wasn’t in the wrong.

In an update post, the woman thanked everyone for their time to read her story and share their opinion on the matter, adding that she hadn’t changed her decision, advocating for her children regardless of the consequences.
