Man Shares A Funny Story Of How He Got Into Trouble By Cheating On His Wife With A Fictional Character In Her Dream

Some fictional crushes are harmless, until they show up in a marriage story and turn into a full-blown misunderstanding. In this case, one Redditor said his wife dreamed he cheated on her with a made-up woman, then he made the situation even stranger by giving that dream character a name.

The couple’s back-and-forth started as a joke, but it quickly spiraled after he showed his wife a Facebook reaction from the imaginary Brumhilda. What he thought was a funny little moment ended up landing him in trouble anyway.

Now the post has the internet laughing, and the comments are almost as entertaining as the story itself. Read on.

And the story begins...

When it comes to people we love, we can be absolutely jealous of anything, including fictional characters. So when your spouse tells you that he or she dreamt that you cheated, don’t make it worse, okay?
