Disney Cruise Disaster and Food Poisoning Nightmare
Jordan recounts his disastrous Disney cruise experience that started with severe food poisoning from the first meal. Both he and his wife Jen spent days violently ill, turning what should have been a fun family vacation into a nightmare of musical chairs with bathrooms. Despite the rocky start, he shares observations about the cruise workers, interesting passengers including a friendly man with a Nazi tattoo, and the surprisingly wholesome gifting culture among Disney cruise families.
- Jordan upgraded to a premium room through Costco for $1,800, originally priced at $15,000
- Both Jordan and Jen got severe food poisoning from the first meal, spending two days violently ill
- The kids refused to stay at the kids club, preferring to color in the room instead
- Cruise workers are from places like Indonesia, Philippines, Yugoslavia and work 16-hour days, 7 days a week for about $50k annually
- Jordan encountered a passenger with a large Nazi tattoo who was surprisingly friendly and getting ice cream with his kids
" You're wearing a huge Nazi tattoo across your entire chest. And I looked at him. He's like shaved head, you know, like beard. And I was like, this dude is a this is a neo-Nazi or at least an ex-neo-Nazi. "
" I had asked this guy from India where the Bibbidi-Bobbidi Boutique was. And sorry, this is going to sound a little cringe, but he was like, oh, the Bibbidi-Bobbidi Boutique. And I laughed so hard. "
Husband's Hidden Porn Habits and Sexual Preferences Destroying Marriage Trust
A woman writes in after 17 years together about discovering her husband's extensive porn use and sexual preferences that completely contradict what he told her about himself. After his mother's death, she began uncovering ongoing porn use at inappropriate times including at work and while caring for their infant, plus preferences for body types very different from hers. The pattern of trickle-truthing and defensiveness has destroyed her trust, especially after he suggested she take Ozempic due to concerns about her weight.
- Husband consistently presented as 'vanilla' throughout their 17-year relationship and 13-year marriage
- After his mother's death, wife discovered frequent porn use including at work and while solely responsible for caring for their infant
- Husband's actual preferences directly contradict what he claimed to be attracted to for years
- Every conversation results in trickle-truthing - he only admits to things after she has evidence
- He suggested she take Ozempic after listening to Jordan's episode, despite her being a plus-sized woman her whole relationship
" I leave these conversations feeling more hurt, confused, and dismissed, and like I need a full case file of evidence just to be taken seriously. "
" Knowing what I know now and how long it's been hidden makes me feel like I don't even know who I married. "
" At what point does repeatedly hiding parts of your sexual life, including porn use and undisclosed kinks, cross from privacy into a breach of trust in a monogamous marriage? "
