Someone on AskReddit asked for service members to share the worst of their "military wife" stories. The resulting stories are filled to the brim with brutal acts of infidelity. These are just plain old sad. We hope the service members affected by these cheaters have moved on and found people to treat them better in life. 

What we have here is a fine and brief example of how people can manage to restore our faith in humanity, without doing too much at all. In this case, a simple text carries a whole lot of weight, and likely meant the world to the recipient. 

Brace yourself, there's a pack of onion-cutting ninjas lurking ahead. This story will take you on a brutal feels trip. 

Twitter user @LilianaSegura, shared a powerful Twitter thread that boosts awareness on the struggles undergone by people trying to visit loved ones in the prison system. They ended up encountering all kinds of obstacles on what could've been an otherwise smooth visit. Bit of a nightmare. 

This green text story really brings on the melancholy. Anonymous gets into the nitty and gritty details of what life is like while going about the grind of working in an office. Whether it's dealing with passive aggressive "warm regards" emails from co-workers, or just trying to login to your computer. The office life ain't easy. 

Someone on AskReddit asked for people that work in emotionally difficult jobs, to share their best days at work. Sometimes sh*t doesn't hit the fan, and we can actually manage to get through a day at work in peace. Those days are rarer for some than others. 

Someone on AskReddit asked for parents to share their harrowing experiences with what drove them to disown their children. The resulting stories are pretty dang heartbreaking. Proceed at your own risk. 

Someone on AskReddit asked for people that got married or entered into a relationship, to share when they knew it was a mistake. Maybe keep an eye out for these warning signs, if you feel like you and your loved one have been off as of late. 

After this woman lost her father, her caring and loving friends helped her through a tough and terrible time. They took a risk, and it ended up meaning the world to her. We're not crying, you're crying! 

These kids and their meltdowns don't look too far off from how adults can feel muddling through a busy work week, and just wanting to cry about it. Sometimes you just need to melt into a hysterical puddle of emotional despair. 

This guy decided to live tweet his poor buddy's marriage falling apart in a blaze of glory. Turns out the guy had stopped gambling, but never said he'd stop for good. It was that detail alone that sent the conversation with his partner into a terrible downwards spiral. The devil is in the details, man. Buckle up and enjoy this emotional rollercoaster. It might be an oldie, but it is absolutely a goldie. 

These wholesome pure feels pull on the heart strings. This guy's story starts in on when he lost his parents as a 10-year-old, to a nasty drunk driver. From there, he was taken in by his uncle, and grew up battling a terrible sadness. 

Fast forward to when he's 22-years-old, and still hasn't had a relationship with his girl, until his uncle takes him to a sandwich shop after he loses his job; and ends up meeting the love of his life in a chance encounter. His uncle plays quite the wingman, and even calls the girl on his behalf to get things in motion. This is one of those stories that you read nervously, with hope that nothing goes south, and amazingly...nothing does!
