I've got an idea to mass-produce this kind of garbage post: tell GPT the original post, and then have it compose a story in a similar style, but with different content. :))

TIFU by learning my partner of 3 years was leading a double life while I was away for work
So, here's the deal. I'm a 25m, and my partner (24f) and I have been together for just over three years. She's been my rock through thick and thin, especially during the long stretches when my job takes me out of town. We've always prided ourselves on our trust and communication. She's been my only serious relationship, and I've always felt lucky to have someone so understanding of my career demands. Up until last night, I would have sworn we were soulmates.
I work in an industry that requires me to travel frequently, sometimes for weeks at a time. It's not ideal, but we've managed to make it work, or so I thought. Last night, I got back from a particularly grueling two-week stint overseas, eager to surprise her. I arrived home around midnight, expecting to find her asleep, but she wasn't there. I figured she might be out with friends, despite it being a weekday, so I decided to wait up.
Hours passed, and she didn't return. My worry grew with each tick of the clock. Then, around 4 AM, she stumbled in, clearly drunk and not alone. Behind her was someone I'd never seen before, laughing and holding her close like they shared secrets I wasn't privy to. My heart sank. When she saw me, the color drained from her face, and the guy quickly made himself scarce.
She started crying, saying it wasn't what it looked like, but I couldn't hear her over the sound of my world shattering. I demanded an explanation, and after a lot of evasions, the truth came tumbling out. She'd been seeing this guy for almost a year, enjoying a whole separate life whenever I was away. She claimed it started as a friendship but evolved because she felt lonely.
I was stunned. Betrayed. Heartbroken. Here I was, thinking we were building a future, while she was living a double life. The trust we'd built over three years evaporated in an instant.
TL;DR: Came home early from a work trip to surprise my partner of 3 years, only to find her coming home drunk with another man. Learned she's been leading a double life for nearly a year due to loneliness. Feeling utterly betrayed and unsure of everything I thought was real.
The whole situation feels surreal. I don't know how to proceed or if there's anything left to salvage. Any advice on where to go from here would be greatly appreciated.
Nice trick.
I can't get my head around adding Reddit to my daily routine. just don't have the time for it.
Maybe as a growth back I'll spend some time learning it all.
Thanks for sharing
What I like about this tactic is that it could totally be a "one-off" — if your story goes viral you don't have to visit Reddit frequently
I wish this post existed when I was starting up.
Kept getting banned from mods.
Thanks for the heads up for next time.
Keep up the good work!

Makes me wonder how many seemingly real posts are actually marketing orchestrations 🤔
Too many
