I had no plans to mention anything about this outside Discord but there's no such thing as quietly sharing on the internet so I may as well give a more complete picture.
I slept on it and this is probably the best answer. I've been through some bad breakup and count some Kiwi Farmers as friends, so I get it.

I only have bits and pieces and some of it seems like it might be jokes, but, what's the actual full story?
 
defend a pet black old timey blues musician that you have to credit for everything

Literally this meme

Are these classic goon quotes or is a guy in this thread really sharing his life story?
It's like inception at this point. SS was already a forum about a forum. If we're talking about it here, does that make this a fourm about a forum about a forum?
 
That's the thing about SA - even the most anodyne of threads that are actually entertaining (the Simpsons thread is literally ripped memes from Facebook and Reddit, hence their status as funny) are constantly in threat of being derailed into a gay and retarded struggle session as soon as something goes vaguely off-the-rails politically. And as soon as they do people you've never seen post before suddenly pop up to cheer on resident thread house niggers and golden troons who can do no wrong.
They exported this struggle session shit all over the internet and are a direct reason why internet discourse got worse overall in the past 15 years. Then they blame the algorithms for making the public reject their ideology of fuckyoudadism, rather than entertain the idea that their arguments are crap and the ideology is repulsive to anyone who's not a self-loathing shitlib stuck in 2011.

It wasn't the only place doing that, that became a popular type of YouTube hot take a video too, it was the paradigm of the 2010s to seem super smart by digging into history in the most superficial, lib validating way possible. I feel like it's more that SA got infected by the same type of person, a specific type of younger millennial who projected their identity out as lib hot takes

My dad claims to be an internet ancientfag and used to use SomethingAwful. Apparently he used to use it more than 4chan.

The long and short of it - Wife started rethinking us back when I voted Trump in 2016 because she's a super leftist. 2020 she gets a depression diagnosis, gets put on an SSRI, suffered a rare symptom known as "emotional blunting" and basically fell out of love with me, banged one of her friends a couple times while staying around a few years longer, finally decided once she got her shit together to that she was leaving. She met a dude online at a coincidental time (I've read their private chats, she even admitted to him back when they were just flirting that she had decided to leave me and them meeting like they had was going to make things really hard/awkward during the divorce) and basically started a long distance relationship with him at least a month before telling me it was over. She moved out a month and a half later and has been visiting him/going out and hooking up a bunch, they're now in a "POLY RELATIONSHIP" because she decided she's never really liked monogamy even when she married me she says. So new guy supports her going out and being a slag because he's into that apparently.

The guy is super goony and she's gonna learn real fast that just because he does the sex stuff she likes and encourages her to go get laid doesn't mean he's going to be a great partner. He lives in a little attic apartment, drives a falling apart beater car (When she drove to see him, he told her they'd have to use her car all weekend because his wasn't going to make it), works a job even shittier than mine, and admits that he lives on oatmeal and PB&J because it's all he can afford/bother to eat... but she convinced him that he can manage to choke down some broccoli now and then covered in cheese and it won't hurt him. She's gonna end up his sugar mama if they stay together. And she plans on either him moving up to our city to live with her in this little 575 square foot studio she's renting, or moving down to his little attic apartment when her lease is up. While one of her complaints about my 1500 square foot house was she didn't have enough space lol. She thinks she's gonna just go out and buy a house with him shortly after, good luck.

So now I just either need to A) Get used to being alone or B) Use my great looks and personality to find someone new.

Aw fuck.
 
Oh shit I forgot I can't edit my posts here anymore.
And cuck. Don't forget literal actual cuck who found out he was being dumped on Reddit.


Wait why is she starting the OF? You have the bigger set of tits.


I mean I was fucking his wife on the side all the way back in the SS days. The relationship was never healthy.


The one where you would get your shitbox car or bike hit and then sue the insurance company, rinse and repeat.
Yes, technically I have been, in fact, been made a cuckold. Good job, you know what a word means!
She's starting an OF because she's an attention whore. I'm down 84lbs this year, I think hers finally edge mine out. She's a 30C, they're actually really nice.
Go mow your lawn
I've never sued an insurance company, but yeah I had a couple bikes hit while parked over the years and got a fair payout for them. That's not really insurance fraud, that's just bad luck and a shitty neighborhood.


Okay after this post right here, let's stop talking about my marriage. It sucks, it's over, I can't do anything about it but move on with my life or bitch about it and I'm done bitching about it here. If you really want to know more, PM me or message me on Discord, _keahi_ is my username there

Yeah i remember thinking the SA people were so cool in like 2006, then when obama went off the rails 2011-2012 it became apparent they were all in a "fuck you dad" tree fort, and as i grew up and built a life they stayed terminally poisoned by irony and more and more became internet speech police instead of using the forums as a way of engaging real life.

wow. I'm really sorry all of that happened to you, it sucks and while it is good she's going to get some karmic backlash, it also sucks that she is doing all this to herself and that must be complex for you. But this exchange reminded me of what it was like when people shared details about themselves like this all the time as a way of bonding, and i find it to be pure cuckold faggotry. It was a good reminder for me to not over-romanticize SA culture. IMG_3174.webp
 
Someone please post the cuckpost that informed Aran (& the whole world) that he was being divorced.
Was it posted on /r/lego?

Okay after this post right here, let's stop talking about my marriage.
Technically we're talking about you being a fat cuckold. Your dead & gay marriage is incidental to that.

Yes, technically I have been, in fact, been made a cuckold.
"Ok sure my wife was fucking other guys behind my back but I only prepped the bull once and have turned a room in my house into a cuckshed so she can store her things (so I can go sniff them) so I'm only a cuck when you start splitting hairs"

While one of her complaints about my 1500 square foot house was she didn't have enough space l
Bro c'mon be fair here.
How much of that sq ft was taken up your blubbery carcass and lego collection?

she decided she's never really liked monogamy even when she married me she says.
"I married a whore and was cucked repeatedly. AMA"
I think she just didn't like being married to a fat manchild.

banged one of her friends a couple times while staying around a few years longer,
Lol. Kayak Dyke.

So your wife gets a secretary job, immediately turns around and fucks some other dude blaming it on depression, after you cuck long a for while she eventually leaves you for some other dude once she has enough money to move out of your ghetto palace, and then ends your marriage with a Reddit post.
And dude who has cucked you, HE'S the goony loser in this scenario.

That about right?
