I genuinely think my husband is a psychopath.
2
Mm.
3
Whoa.
4
I'm a 35 female and my husband is 36 male.
5
We've been married for 10 years and have two boys, seven and five.
6
I honestly don't know what to think anymore.
7
About three months ago, my husband started sending me really nasty messages while he was at work.
8
At first, it was just mean comments.
9
Stuff like telling me I'm lazy, that I'm a terrible mother, that he regrets marrying me.
10
It was completely out of nowhere.
11
The weird part is that when he would come home from work, he would act completely normal.
12
Like nothing happened.
13
He would kiss me, ask me what's for dinner, play with the kids.
14
The first time it happened, I thought maybe he was having a bad day at work.
15
But the messages kept coming.
16
They got worse too, saying things like I'm useless, that I'm lucky he hasn't left me yet, that no one else would want me.
17
The first few times I confronted him, he acted confused.
18
Like genuinely confused.
19
He would say things like, what messages?
20
Or, you must be misunderstanding something.
21
I literally showed him the text on my phone and he just stared at them and said, he didn't send them, claiming that he lost his phone,
22
which he did, but he had a new one and was still texting and calling from that number.
23
I know it sounds ridiculous, but he didn't look guilty.
24
He looked confused, almost scared.
25
Finally, about a month ago, I snapped.
26
I showed him a bunch of the messages at once and told him I couldn't keep living like this.
27
I told him if he hated me so much, he should just say it to my face.
28
He kept insisting he didn't send them and said maybe that someone was messing with us.
29
At that point, I was done.
30
I packed my clothes, grabbed the kids, and went to stay with my parents who live in the same city.
31
Since then, the messages have continued.
32
Same number, same horrible tone.
33
Things like, running to mommy's house just proves my point.
34
You're pathetic.
35
You'll come crawling back eventually.
36
He's still denying everything.
37
Says he never sent those messages and that he thinks someone is still using his old phone.
38
Meanwhile, the texts haven't stopped.
39
At this point, I don't even know what to believe anymore.
40
Either he's lying in my face or something really weird is going on.
41
Has anyone ever dealt with something similar?

This is like horror movie level stuff.
43
Insane.
44
This is something that would break me a little bit.
45
Like, is he having an affair?
46
And he logged into his iMessages on her computer.
47
Now she's sending this hateful stuff as a way to separate them.

Or is he trying to like push her to divorce him?
49
We get an update.
50
Okay, okay.

Speaking Goals for This Clip: Mastering Emotional Tone and Natural Pacing

This video’s dialogue is perfect for practicing shadow speech to refine your ability to convey complex emotions—like confusion, frustration, and fear—while maintaining natural conversational rhythm. The speaker’s mix of casual storytelling and intense emotional expression helps you target fluency milestones, such as switching between calm and urgent tones, a key skill for real-world communication.

Phrase Bank: Reusable Expressions for Daily Conversations

  • "It was completely out of nowhere" – Use to describe unexpected events.
  • "I don't even know what to believe anymore" – Express uncertainty in challenging situations.
  • "Has anyone ever dealt with something similar?" – Ask for shared experiences in conversations.
  • "This is like horror movie level stuff" – Exaggerate to emphasize shock (casual tone).
  • "I snapped" – Describe losing patience after ongoing stress.

Fix Your Weak Spots: Pronunciation and Rhythm with the Shadowing Technique

The dialogue’s natural pauses and emotional intonation make it ideal for shadowing technique practice. Focus on mimicking the speaker’s rising tone when asking questions (e.g., "Has anyone ever dealt with something similar?") and the sharp, staccato delivery of frustrated lines (e.g., "He's still denying everything!"). To improve English pronunciation, pay attention to reduced forms like "I'm a 35 female" (contraction of "I am") and linking words in phrases like "kept insisting he didn't send" (smooth transition between "kept" and "insisting"). Use shadowspeak to repeat short segments immediately after the speaker—this trains your mouth to move like a native and builds muscle memory for natural rhythm. Practice daily for 10 minutes, and you’ll notice clearer pronunciation and more confident delivery in no time.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
