Cold reading

By Anonymous - 06/12/2014 21:52 - Belgium

Today, I found out why my wife has been cold and distant lately. She went to a psycho fraudster - sorry, I mean "psychic medium" - who said I'm lusting after other women and am thinking about leaving her. She actually believed him. Now I'm considering leaving her for real. Well played, I guess. FML

Self fulfilling predictions are a bitch huh

That psychic has his own agenda... Probably. OP if she believes this bull crap and doesn't trust you, she's not worth your time.

If your relationship was going well, I hope you don't leave her. That would only make the "psychic" look like he was right and it'll encourage him/bring him more business to keep messing with people's lives with bullshit. But I wouldn't go as far as telling OP that he should quit his marriage or that either he or his wife is stupid for letting something like this threaten their relationship. We don't know the full story or history of their relationship to make a call ourselves about their marriage or judge the amount or lack of effort put into it by them.

I hope that's just an exaggeration, I get rather annoyed by people that actually believe in psychics, however, that just seems a bit extreme. One would think that before you married your wife, you would be aware that she was either superstitious or that gullible.

Really? You let the beliefs of others "annoy" you? **** off, get your head out of your ass, and learn to understand that everybody has a unique set of beliefs, standards, and values that DO NOT have to match yours. What a twat comment.

Damn #40, who pissed in your cheerios this morning? You just went on a completely pointless tangent, complaining about what she said and contradicting yourself too. The irony here....

One of my family members does this. Won't mention her relation in case somehow this travels back to her. She reads people's hands and uses tarot cards to supposedly cure all types of problems. Incurable fatal diseases, divorces, etc. It's sick and twisted, and it preys on those who are vulnerable. In the case of your wife's "psychic", it sounds like she just pulled that "prediction" out of her poop chute. If this does result in a divorce, find this woman and see if you can take some kind of legal action against her.

Lol, poop chute. I haven't heard that in a while, thanks for the laugh.

I would think that if she was worried about him lusting after other women that she would do something to make it so that he would ever consider it (I don't think OP is though)

OP come on, you are the one being dramatic! Considering leaving her because she believed in something is way too drastic. It sounds like you needed an excuse and now you have one. You could also try talking about it.

Don't get how some people are able to believe that shit. Communicate with her though, surely you must have said to her the psycho fraudster is wrong?

Nevertheless, you provided the doubt for her to go in the first place if you're already thinking about leaving. Get your shit together and provr to her you aren't, love her.

Hey now, don't hate on all psychic mediums. My best friend's mom is one and she's made some predictions that came true. That being said, I believe 99% of everybody who calls themself a psychic just wants respect and attention.

Wow! "She's made some predictions that came true. " I would imagine that if you give enough predictions, a couple are bound to come true. Eventually. "You will stub your toe!" "Ow!"

Don't be a dick... Why is everybody voting me down? It's my own personal belief. ******* asswipes

How come psychic's never win the lottery?

I see both sides. My boyfriend is also innately mistrustful because of terrible things that happened to him. I'm guilty until proven innocent, when he's in a bad mood, even though I've never been unfaithful to him or been untruthful. Because I love him, I've confronted him when he acts irrationally like this, and told him it was emotional abuse. He knows that he has to confront me with his issues rather than give me the silent treatment or invade my privacy. I stand up for myself but stay with him, because he's learning to trust. If you still love her, be honest with her about how her mistrust hurts you and has no basis. Hopefully she'll learn to trust you. If no improvement happens, get out.
