Reddit users tell man to divorce wife after ‘psychic’ interferes with his marriage
A Reddit user is following through with divorcing his wife after her “psychic” friend falsely informed her that he was cheating.
“AITAH for refusing to consider stopping our divorce after my ex admitted her ‘psychic’ friend lied about me having an affair?” asked Reddit user “Successful-Top3827” in a Friday, May 3 post on Reddit’s “AITAH” subreddit.
“AITAH” stands for “Am I the a–hole here.”
It’s similar to the “Am I the A–hole” subreddit.
REDDIT USERS DEFEND MAN WHO TOLD HIS ‘OVERWHELMED’ WIFE TO DO MORE CHORES AROUND THE HOUSE
In the post, Successful-Top3827 said he met his wife, Rhona, in college, and that he “made the obviously terrible assumption that the fact she was in post-secondary education meant she had a modicum of common sense.”
The couple lived together for two years before marrying — and at their wedding, Successful-Top3827 met a friend of Rhona’s, Anna, he wrote in his post.
“At our wedding I met an old friend of hers, Anna. She offered to read my palm since she was part gypsy,” he said — which he found “weird,” he said.
“I am in construction and I know a few people from that group, and they call themselves Roma,” he said.
Anna, said Successful-Top3827, is a seamstress in New York City and does not frequently visit. He and his wife only saw her “maybe four times” during the last two years, most recently during Labor Day in 2023.

“And that’s when it got weird. All of a sudden Rhona starts acting oddly,” he said.
“She starts checking in on me at work. Coming by when I’m working late. Asking to use my phone because hers is almost out of power. That sort of thing.”
Eventually, Rhona accused Successful-Top3827 of having an affair — which he thought was a joke.
“This sets her off like a Roman candle.”
“I laugh and say I am not,” he said. “This sets her off like a Roman candle. Because Anna told her I would laugh it off when Rhona came for the truth.”
Successful-Top3827 laughed, he revealed, as the concept of him having an affair was “ridiculous” due to his work schedule and the fact that he’s with his wife most of the time he is not at work, he said.
“And most important of all, I love my wife. I wouldn’t do anything to harm her,” he said.
“And yet she takes the word of Anna the psychic seamstress over mine.”
Rhona then proceeded to ask Successful-Top3827 to move out, and he refused — as he had nowhere else to go, he wrote. Instead, Rhona moved in with her parents.
“My dad told me to give my head a shake, which he only does when I am being monumentally stupid.”
“They think she is nuts, too,” he wrote to others.
Successful-Top3827 then “spent the next few months” attempting to convince his wife that he was not having an affair.
REDDIT USER ACCUSED OF SPOILING HER YOUNG SON BY ASKING FOR AN INVITE TO GIRLS-ONLY EVENT
Rhona’s family kept quiet about the situation until Christmas, when they “had an intervention,” he detailed in his post.
“They said my wife was having a break from reality and that she wasn’t coming out of it. My dad told me to give my head a shake, which he only does when I am being monumentally stupid,” he said.
In January, Successful-Top3827 began the process of getting a divorce, he said. Three months later, in April, he wrote, “Rhona calls me to talk.”
“Turns out [she] and her parents hired a private detective to find my affair. Six months and a huge bill later, zero evidence of an affair,” he said.
“She finally believes me and wants to come home.”
Having none of it, Successful-Top3827 told the woman that their lease was up in July — and he would be moving to Denver to be closer to his family.
“She says she would come with me. I respectfully declined. I told her we just weren’t right for each other,” he said.
“The truth is I do not want to have my offspring share DNA with this dingbat.”
REDDIT USER ISSUED ‘CURFEW’ BY ROOMMATE SEEKS ADVICE FOR COLLEGE SLEEP DRAMA
Rhona’s family, however, is apparently upset that Successful-Top3827 is moving ahead with the divorce.
“Her family has approached me several times. The last time her dad offered to front us a 25% down payment on a house if I agree[d] to go to marriage counseling instead of just leaving,” he said.
“I politely declined. I cannot be bought.”
Meanwhile, “Rhona is now depressed, but I see no way of ever trusting her again,” the man wrote.
“She is young enough she can marry again and wreck some other guy’s life,” said Successful-Top3827.
So — he asked others — “AITAH?”
“I do not want to have my offspring share DNA with this dingbat.”
Fox News Digital reached out to Successful-Top3827 and a relationship expert for comment.
On the AITAH subreddit, people can reply to posts and indicate the poster is “NTA” (“Not the A–hole”), “YTA” (“You’re the A–hole”), “NAH” (“No A–holes Here”) or “ESH” (“Everyone Sucks Here”).
Users can “upvote” comments they find helpful, and “downvote” those they do not.
In the nearly 2,400 comments to the post to date, almost all who chimed in agreed that Successful-Top3827 was “NTA” — and that he should move forward with the divorce.

“Absolutely NTA. At least you found out before having kids! I can only imagine how that relationship would have been, going forward. Every new magazine quiz or daytime talk show would lead to a new accusation,” said Reddit user “rwj212” in the top-upvoted comment.
Another top commenter said that Successful-Top3827’s marriage was over after Rhona took the words of a psychic over her own husband.
“The fact that she then convinced her parents to hire a [private investigator] to get info on your infidelities is just the icing on the top,” said user “Fit_Reason7319” in another top comment.
Fit_Reason7319 continued, “What else will she blindly believe when her psychic friend has another vision? Run, don’t walk.”
Another user wrote, “It’s crazy diabolical of her friend to throw out accusations like that. If she wanted to show off her ‘psychic’ ability, she could have made up any other number of things that wouldn’t potentially ruin a person’s life,” said Reddit user “Ashamed-Source3551.”
But, this same commenter noted, “the psychic did help you dodge a huge bullet” by making Successful-Top3827 realize early in his marriage that his wife was potentially unstable.

“Imagine if you had kids with her and her friend got a psychic vibe about you abusing the kids,” said this same person — adding that Successful-Top3827 could have wound up in jail.
“While your situation really sucks, at least you are now free from someone so easily influenced,” said Ashamed-Source3551.

Texas crime victims liaison pleads guilty to human smuggling with county vehicle
A Texas crime victims coordinator who was employed by the Starr County District Attorney’s Office has pleaded guilty to using a county vehicle to smuggle immigrants into the United States.
Bernice Garza pleaded guilty Friday to conspiracy to transport undocumented people within the United States, according to a report from KRGV.
Two others, Magali Rosa and Juan Antonio Charles, were also arrested in connection with the investigation and have pleaded guilty to human smuggling charges, according to the report.
Garza was arrested in December 2022 after a traffic stop in Victoria County noted that the vehicle registered with the county was making “numerous unauthorized trips to the Houston area,” the criminal complaint said.
Magali Rosa was the driver of the vehicle, according to police, while Garza and Charles were among the passengers in the vehicle.
Police say Rosa tried to argue that Garza was the Starr County district attorney during the stop, though she later confessed to making over 40 smuggling trips from Rio Grande City to Houston in the government vehicle.

“This investigation is an example of no one being above the law, and our office taking swift action in eliminating public corruption,” the DA’s office said in a statement after the arrests.
Garza was soon terminated from the DA’s office, while the four migrants who were in the vehicle at the time of the stop were turned over to the U.S. Border Patrol.

Sentencing for Garza and Charles was set for Sept. 28, the reporting notes, while sentencing for Magali Rosa is set for June 27.

At Chaotic Rally in Brooklyn, Police Violently Confront Protesters
A large protest in Brooklyn against Israel’s military offensive in Gaza erupted into a chaotic scene on Saturday, as the police arrested dozens of pro-Palestinian demonstrators and at times confronted them violently.
In videos posted on social media, officers can be seen punching at least three people who were prone on the ground at the demonstration in the Bay Ridge neighborhood. The aggression was corroborated by witnesses. Another protester who was filming the police was tackled and arrested. A police spokesman declined to comment on the officers using force on protesters.
The police said Sunday that 40 people were arrested. They have not released details on the charges the protesters face.
“I saw police indiscriminately grabbing people off the street and the sidewalk,” said Nerdeen Kiswani, founder of Within Our Lifetime, an activist group led by Palestinians that organized the demonstration. “They were grabbing people at random.”
According to the Police Department’s patrol guide, officers must use “only the reasonable force necessary to gain control or custody of a subject.”
In recent years, Within Our Lifetime has put on an annual mid-May rally in Bay Ridge, a neighborhood with a large Arab population, to commemorate what Palestinians call the Nakba, or “catastrophe” — when hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were forced from their homes during the war that led to Israel’s founding in 1948.
Given the war in Gaza and months of protests in New York, this year’s protest was charged from the start. It started at 2 p.m. at the intersection of Fifth and Bay Ridge Avenues. Within about 25 minutes, a large group of officers arrived and warned protesters to get onto the sidewalk. Those who remained in the street would be arrested, the police told them.
From there, the event alternated between protest marches and standoffs with the police. In one video taken by Katie Smith, an independent journalist, a police commander in a white shirt delivers at least three punches to a person lying on the pavement. In another video she recorded, an officer punches a man who is on the ground at least six times and a white-shirted commander aims a kick at the man, though it is not possible to see if it landed.
In a separate instance filmed by another independent journalist, Talia Jane, an officer flings a protester against a signpost and then hurls him to the pavement, where he is pinned by two officers as he is punched by a third.
The footage of the police, including at least one commander, pummeling protesters recalled some of the N.Y.P.D. conduct caught on video at the Black Lives Matter demonstrations in 2020. The city ended up paying $13 million to settle a class-action suit brought by those protesters.
In a video of the Saturday protest posted on Twitch, half a dozen people could be seen filming a group of police officers and commanders walking on Bay Ridge Avenue. A police commander grabbed the nearest one, followed by two more commanders and a scrum of blue-shirted officers.
The protester was shoved to the ground, handcuffed and arrested. Other people in the crowd continued recording the event.
Those arrested were led to police vans and driven to the headquarters in Manhattan. A light rain began to fall, and by 8 p.m. the protest had dispersed.
