The Internet's Most Disturbing Confessions

A man who drove his wife to suicide after an affair that left another woman pregnant. A chemistry student who spent years spiraling through opioid addiction, from prescription pills to daily kratom use. A partygoer drugged and sexually assaulted who felt nothing at all. A former athlete who beat his girlfriend until she lay crying on the floor. These are the confessions the host of Snook reads aloud in this episode—raw, anonymous posts from Reddit that ask a single uncomfortable question: What do people admit when they think no one is listening?

The Husband Who Blames Himself for His Wife's Death

The first and longest confession comes from a man whose wife died by suicide ten weeks after his daughter was born—a child he had with another woman while still married. He describes an eight-year marriage strained by infertility. His wife coped by withdrawing into depression. He coped by going to the gym daily, then by befriending a younger woman who ran at the same time, then by sleeping with her, then by getting her pregnant.

"I was a married man in his 30s," he writes. "I took advantage of not only my wife's trust, but the trust and innocence of a young woman."
