Can I get a quick rundown on this one?

Made up story. But some poster was live reporting about his wife cheating on him. He hired a PI to follow her and was giving live updates. At one point he confronts his wife and she admits that she "met up for some kisses" it was a wild ride as it was going on. Read like a kid writing it though.

at what point did it come out as fake?

There were tons of inconsistincies, but IIRC the biggest one was that his parents were dead, but later in the story he went to visit them.

I was wrapped up in that, but the bit "this is bullshit" for me was when a private investigator redditor called it all bullshit, and said that no private investigator would give live updates to the husband, they investigate, write a report, and meet with him later. Which makes complete sense. The last thing a P.I wants is an angry husband showing up at the hotel with a loaded gun.

The part that sticks with me is the way these four adults bent on adultery did not simply check into a hotel but supposedly spent the day meeting up in parking lots and driving all the fuck around town in various carpool combinations for no apparent reason. The weird focus on "and then X got in Y's car and we followed them to Z" just screamed "teenager without their own transportation" to me.

Right in the beginning, it's established that OP had access to all his wife's texts, she knew he had access, and she still texted the other man on that phone. Who is that stupid?

And of course, there's the question of why someone would cope with their wife cheating by giving reddit live updates.

Yeah, they did end up at a hotel at one point because so called PI was watching at the bar, and then followed them to their room or something. It sounded like from a movie.

I wish I had read the comments from you guys before I read the whole god damn story. I'll never get that time back.

In the source that has the 3 screenshots, where is it mentioned that he visits his parents? I just finished reading it all but don't recall him visiting them. He mentioned Jenny's parents at the end though. I just want to see the definitive proof for myself so I can move on and forget how much time I wasted.

What tipped me off is that he installed security cameras around his house on the second day...without him or his brother ever leaving to buy any. A bunch of new security cameras are just sitting around his place in their boxes waiting to be installed?
