Chip Chick Confidential

Bre tells you one story for today: We've always been told gold diggers are women chasing rich men, but a new study says that narrative is way overdue for a rewrite.

Bre tells you one story for today: She's been a stay-at-home mom for twenty years, trusting her husband to handle the finances...and yesterday over lunch, he told her they're being evicted. Today. He stopped paying rent in October, went to court, and said nothing, hiding every notice for months. Now she's packing up her family's life into boxes, wondering if staying means giving him permission to do it again.

Bre tells you one quick story today:She took in her younger sister, raised her, and paid for everything...only to find out that her sister has been having a full-blown love affair with her husband behind her back.

She's trying to hold it together while left asking a question nobody should ever have to ask: how do you even begin to forgive two people at once?

In this episode, Bre breaks down three of her favorite stories from the site for you today:The Boyfriend Who Demanded Her Life Savings: A woman's boyfriend interrupted her important business meeting to demand she hand over her entire life savings, right then and there, so he could buy cryptocurrency. She didn't, he missed the investment, and he lost his mind over a $400 loss. Then came the name-calling. Then came "we're done." Nine Years Of Mixed Signals: She's been sleeping with the same man on and off for nine years. Nine. She finally told him she's in love with him, and he told her he doesn't want a relationship, but keeps making comments about moving in, jokes about marriage, and asking her to have his baby. He calls it joking. She calls it confusing. The logical part of her already knows what's happening, and it's not a love story.The $106,000 Revenge: When a man wanted revenge on his ex-girlfriend, he bought a beat-up 1999 Chevy Monte Carlo for $600, put it in her name, and parked it at O'Hare Airport, where it sat for three years and racked up over $106,000 in parking tickets.

When she told him she wanted a real separation and no longer loves him the same way, he finally decided to keep more of his own money. She screamed at him for 30 minutes straight.

The killer has never been caught.The Affair Partner Who Blew Her A Kiss: She and her husband have been working hard on their marriage after his infidelity, and things have genuinely been going well.
