Chapter 1: What is the main topic of this episode?
Welcome to Smosh Reads Reddit Stories. I'm Shane, and today's theme, relationships. A classic one. And I'm joined with two people who love relationships. Angela and Tommy.
I'm the guitar.
And that's a relationship. Thank you both for being here.
Thank you.
Thank you. Wow.
How's your re... How's your rug?
I mean, I could say good. It's just a funny way to start. How's your relationship?
No, that's why I stopped. That's why I immediately went, no, don't ask that.
Let's not do that. Let's not do that.

Chapter 2: How do I address my partner's brain rot?
Oh, yeah.
Or excommunicated. Or you should be excommunicated. All right, let's hop into this first story. Ready to hop. This comes from Relationship Advice. How do I, a 20 year old man, tell my partner, a 20 year old woman, that her brain rot is making her less attractive?
That's awesome.
I think this type of humor can be funny once in a while, and I understand that it's a part of the culture of people our age. However, her vocabulary is full of just straight up brain rot to the point where it doesn't feel like just a joke anymore. Everything was endearing during the honeymoon phase, so I used to frequently joke back to her.
But now it's hard to find Sigma or Hawk Tua attractive, you know? It has gotten to the point where I cannot have a single conversation with her, in person or over text, where this type of language is not involved. I know this sounds so idiotic, but it genuinely turns me off when I try to have a normal, mature conversation, but she responds with just brain rot.
The thing is, she can be serious when needed, and occasionally we'll have a good conversation. These are the moments that I look forward to, where I don't feel like I'm talking to an immature high school boy stuck in the body of an attractive woman. It's beginning to affect our sex life, as I'm finding it hard to get turned on by her.
She's beginning to notice my lack of enthusiasm and feels insecure about it. I feel guilty for feeling this way, as she shows me nothing but love and support. I love her so much, but this is the one thing that I cannot get over. I just don't know how to approach this subject with her because I don't want to hurt her feelings or make her feel self-conscious around me.
I always try to reassure her when she's insecure, so I feel terrible bringing this up to her for fear of making her more insecure. She's a genuinely sweet, funny person, but the brain rot has gotten to be just too much for an adult.
Your look. Can I ask for the people at home and for me, what is technically brain rot?

Chapter 3: Is staying with a cheating partner possible?
Well, Angela, I actually like to be outside during the springtime. Maybe do some traveling, see some sports games.
Whoa! That's so funny, because I was literally just thinking about how Booking.com is the official accommodation partner of MLB.
I know you were not thinking that. Wait, if you're reading something from our sponsors, I usually do that myself.
No, it's okay, because I'm going to sing this one. Take me out of my small home. Take me out on a trip. Buy me room service and baseball hats. I don't care if I ever get back. Tell my wife it's easy to bulk online with bulking.com. It's a slay. For it's nice to leave my bland house for an out-of-town stay. Shane, whenever I'm traveling in the US, I like to check out Booking.com.
With their wide variety of stays, Booking.com makes it easy for you to find and book the right stay for you, no matter what, if you're looking for a cozy vacation home, a five-star hotel, or even a cabin in the woods.
Never sing on my show again. Was it...
Is it something I could change?
No.
Yeah.

Chapter 4: What should I do if my spouse ignores me?
It's giving Satan. It's giving Satan a little bit.
By the way, this is Satan from South Park.
I was going to say, where is Satan on the record?
I hope this is fake. I hope this is a guy who just loves to, like, rile people up. I hope it's rage bait. Yeah. It could be a person who was cheated on and is now living a fantasy online of all this stuff.
Right.
But I also know, like... Unfortunately, in relationships, things get really unbalanced, really toxic stuff happens, and this is a very unique.
And I also feel for her because shame, I do believe shame and guilt could blind you in scenarios where you're like, I messed up, I deserve this. And that's not true.
Yeah.
You can get manipulated that way.
