r/Bestof My Friend Murdered My Wife

0:00 Intro
0:11 My sister wants the cheater to walk her down the aisle with her dad
9:28 Accused of having an affair I didn't have leads to terrible results

[adrestiaceaser]

Jessie is a genuinely evil person and it wouldn't surprise me if she manipulated and gaslit OP's wife for most if not the entirety of their "friendship". She's not sad about her friend dying, she's upset she no longer has a plaything to torment.

[ronbarnes]

The fact Sarah waited until the last second to let her dad know her plans for walking her down the isle proves she knew what she was doing was wrong.

[imjustafangirl]

The fact the wife wanted to bring the BABY WITH HER to die is honestly terrifying

[asherael]

God it sounds like post partum depression that's progressed into post partum psychosis, that her 'friend' fed into a terrible psychiatric illness. She shouldn't have ever been allowed to progress so far. What a heartbreaking story. As soon as she was depressed she should have had intensive care, and when she abandoned the baby was the time for a hospital stay.

Jesse murdered her

[wordsmith]

That second story is just pure evil. The signs are all there. The sickness, the fear and paranoia were a seed planted by Jessie into the fertile soil of OP's wife's depression. What kind of sick, twisted person does that to their friend? What did she have to gain?

Story 2. Tell the in laws to get their heads straight. That woman wasn't the wife's friends, she was her tormentor. She ruined that poor women's mind to the point she abandoned her child, assaulted her husband, then killed herself. Jessie killed their child out of probably some sick pleasure in seeing her suffer. If they keep her in their lives after that, I'd just drop them too and keep your daughter away. She'll probably try to see if she could do the same to the daughter when she's older.

[MisterNightfish]

Jessie tries to break up OP's marriage with lies. Jessie says "You're not the only one who loved your wife" I believe this is what we call "motive".

[avashnea]

Story 2: The husband needs to get a restraining order against Jessie and then attend the funeral. That way she can't come or she'll get arrested.

[timtompkins]

First story: the craziest part to me is that after everything the best friend done to the dad he wouldn't back down from walking his stepdaughter down the aisle. He was the man's best friend and stole his wife and was actively stealing his daughter and thought I deserve to walk her down the aisle. What a piece of crap

[Peacheslaclaire]

I would go first at the funeral and then introduce Jessie as the woman who tried to convinced my wife I was having an affair and drove her to be in the casket behind me through her words and actions.

[silverflight]

Story 1: I don't know what Sarah was gonna expect. She decided to let a cheater walk her down the aisle, and it broke everyone's hearts. Now she gotta live with the consequences.

[dracko]

Story 2: I heard of evil friends, but goddamn. Jessie puts even the evilest criminals to shame. She fed lies to his wife, and then KILLED HER, albeit indirectly. I don't know what the f*ck is she trying to accomplish here, but OP needs to make the in-laws understand what she did to OP'S wife, and forbid her from even showing up.

[alansmithee]

Story 2 : one of the most chilling parts is when the wife demands to take her daughter but refuses to see her under supervsion. It's as if she had made up her mind and was planning on taking her daughter with her. What a tragedy and what a disgusting "friend".

[Rileyann]

For story 2: the wife was clearly suffering from an extreme mental breakdown due to her postpartum depression, and it also didn’t help that she had another person screaming in her ear, saying that her husband was being unfaithful… It’s just really sad to see because all of this could’ve been avoided if Jessie was not in the picture at all. It’s so obvious to me that Jesse was taking advantage of the wife’s deteriorating mental state for her own selfish gain!

[jessiealexander]

I think the only reason Jessie told OP in the first place that she was intending on speaking was because she knew he would refuse. This way, she can cry and whine and get the wife’s parents on her side too. And as a bonus, if anyone asks why she isn’t speaking (since she’s crying to everyone about not being able to talk at her best friend’s funeral), she can tell them “OP doesn’t want me to talk because he knows that I know.” Etc.

[owl]

In story 2, the fact that Jessie said "you weren't the only one that loves her" means to me that she was feeling romantic feelings for the wife and fed the wife lies to split her and the OP up. This went all wrong and the wife ended up killing herself, now Jessie is putting on a mask and saying that none of this was her fault and acting all innocent to the in-laws. Absolutely sickening because I've met a person like this.

[miltonarijr]

Story 2: I believe that Jesse's statement of "not the only one who loved your wife" was literally and she was trying to separate OP's wife to be with her as she was in love with OP's wife, but she pushed it to the limit and ended up killing OP's wife

[CrystallynRose]

Story 2: Honestly sounds more like postpartum psychosis than postpartum depression and seems like Jessie fed into it for her own sadistic reasons (like she's a psychopath or was trying to break up the marriage for some reason). Like a few people in the comments have said, I wouldn't be surprised if OP's wife was there to get the baby for a murder/suicide. In her mental state, if she was truly convinced OP was cheating on her, then she might've been driven to murder his baby as a form of punishment.

[bradey]

I’ve never been so angry about a reddit story before as the last one. Jessie intruded on their life and emotionally abused and manipulated a depressed person, pushing her to commit suicide. Jessie is evil and deserves a prison sentence. I can’t believe that this actually happened. I hope the redditor can recover from this

[LittleGameDev]

I really feel for the OP of the second story. I hope they update us on how they will deal with that sick monster disguised as a human. If this happened to one of my friends or family members I would flip my lid and dig them into a hole so deep they could never climb out of it! this is just sad. I hope OP can get through this time with his baby girl. He's going to need all the support he can get.
