I cancelled overseas work trip for my wife’s fake 'wedding'… & still made to do the school run today?

2 things stand out.

You love your wife deeply and she knows it. You are never going to leave her so she can basically do anything and you will suck it up.

If she goes too far and thinks you are looking at divorce. Watch her be super nice to you until you think things have changed for the better then she will return to her old ways.
You might love her but she doesn’t love you.

The biggest issue is her lies.
How can you ever know when she is telling the truth.

How can you ever know the woman you married. All the things she has told you are probably not true.

You say how stressful her job is. But do you actually know it is stressful or is it because she tells you it is. Does she describe various stressful scenarios. Did they really happen.
You might be married and have children together Are they yours or are they someone else’s?
The thing with liars even if they were telling the truth you can never believe them.

I had a friend who would lie over stupid things It was just annoying. In the end I couldn’t deal with the BS

Stick to the poetry. And if the wife is somehow real, I would speak to divorce instead of living the same cycle over and over.

It’s the em dash that made me think AI at first. Like the ones in your post @Velvet010 (I know you weren’t trying to pass that off as your own text). Then the tone is off for me. And the language. I could be wrong but I don’t think I am.

I still haven’t found out why he’s now got the time to holiday for a week but, maybe he’s on holiday?

I used to use AI detectors a lot in my role but recently discovered they are largely unreliable in many cases.

Its quite easy to trick them. Generate something, tweak it a bit, stick a few glaring typos in, add a few of your own lines, ask it to include personal stuff....

Hope you're better at writing poetry than you are at writing fiction 😂. I have never in my entire life learn a man use the phrase “bless you”. I keep visualising Op as some kind of mad Mrs Doubtfire.

@Daddydog hope that helps and all the best with you Cia wife

Verdict
🧠 99% human-authored.
If there’s any AI involvement at all, it’s limited to post-editing tools like Grammarly, not generative composition.

Meta Observation
The reason people suspected AI is instructive:
his tone is unusually composed and articulate for a distressed husband, and that’s a rarity in forum spaces where emotional posts are typically chaotic.
That composure — paired with syntax that “reads well” — triggers the AI suspicion heuristic. But in this case, it’s simply an articulate, emotionally literate man writing under stress — a demographic that online readers sometimes find too polished to be real.

Summary:
The post about the “fake wedding” is almost certainly written by a human, not AI. Key points:

1. Typos and motor errors (“toook,” “in in”) are typical of fast human typing, not AI.
2. Emotional swings and contradictions reflect real-time human processing of complex feelings.
3. Detailed personal logistics (flights, school runs, family arrangements) are too specific and internally consistent for AI fabrication.
4. Stylistic quirks — mix of polished phrasing and casual errors — match an educated human writer, possibly dyslexic.
5. Interactive replies in the thread show adaptive, context-aware conversation, which AI cannot sustain naturally over multiple posts.
6. Polished tone triggers suspicion, but this is a human trait — an articulate person under stress — not AI generation.

so what did she want to achieve and attend ? im puzzled

OP if this is real?
LTB
its just misery for you otherwise

Yes

Wasn't this thread hidden?

Hmm ok. I don’t believe you - you can’t kid a kidder.

But you haven’t answered, how come you have time for a family holiday when it’s your busiest time and you’ve had to cover for your wife?

I know she doesn't mean to be like this but I am stuck on what to do next?

Why are you saying ‘Bless you’ to posters who haven’t said anything that would warrant a ‘Bless you’? (Not that anything would warrant it, it’s a wanky expression, right up there with calling people Hun).

On the off chance that you’re genuine and are just a bit of a drip with literary pretensions, why are you so sure that she doesn’t mean to be like this? You said no to doing the school run so she’s intentionally got up early, washed and dressed taking care not to wake you, then slipped out the front door just so she gets her own way and you’re forced to do it. That sounds pretty intentional to me.

As someone who regularly uses em-dashes (from academic work; I also use en-dashes), I now find myself avoiding them sometimes so as not to be called out as being an AI bot.

Also there are typos in the OP ("toook" and "in in"), which AI wouldn't do. So maybe OP used a bit of help to try to be a bit more eloquent in his opening argument, if so, he then apparently messed up the text to some extent by himself.

She can only think of herself and everything is about her. She’s not to be trusted, it’s classic narcissistic behaviour. Please get therapy for you.

This is a very peculiarly worded post, especially for a 'professional' with a high flying job.

🤢 oh please.

I have a brilliantly equal relationship. Been with my husband for nearly 25 years. Also have a child.

Luckily for me. I picked a man who had brilliant male role models in his life who were not surrounded by people who told them they were amazing just for doing the basics.

I think if you were chocolate, you'd eat yourself.

You're wife's a shit, you're a saint. She's not worthy to kiss your feet 🫠

If what you say is true, she is neglecting your children you profess to adore and are your world.

If this were true, you would remove yourself and them and apply to be the RP.

There's 2 narcs in your relationship. Them poor kids.

People who use AI and ChatGPT really need to proof read and then rewrite.

Congratulations. You have a husband.

Like the little robot that used his own parts to mend the broken robot until everything he had was gone. Just need someone to fill my cup
And I’m out.

ok everyone I think I know the answer. English is not the first language of the OP, and they are using AI to ‘translate’ what they are saying.

OP- you honestly sound like you are in a relationship with a narcissist. You are bending yourself in all sorts of shapes and sizes to justify this behaviour- my mind was doing mental acrobats reading your posts explaining things.

You can always tell when an OP has used ChatGPT — the text is full of em dashes —The moment I see them in a post— I’m out.

The fuck is this bollocks?? 😂😂😂
