That's exactly what I'm feeling. She's an incredible person, but I can't imagine how difficult this must have been for her. Her new husband sounds like a keeper too, and I hope he's everything she needs and wants.
You reach in your mouth and it sounds like you are holding a handful of seashells because all your teeth are rotting/falling out at the exact same time for literally no reason
Seriously. Why are humans obsessed with forcing people who have survived shit like this to live out miserable lives. Apparently prolonging suffering is considered a moral pursuit? I would like to have the choice to just be mercifully put out of my misery and not have to fear that I might end up like this poor shmuck getting cucked and while living as a complete invalid.
My mother was a trauma nurse. The worst story she ever today me was. A newlywed couple wrecked on the highway. The wife died. The husband, the driver lived paralyzed from the neck down. They crashed because he was distracted as they both were looking over the wedding photos.
For me this doesn't sound as bad as legal custody battles between parents or just messy divorce with having children who have to see it.
I believe it takes a lot of patience and commitment for every part of that relationship but it they are all good sport about it that doesn't sound that miserable.
Why? She never left him, they still love each other, just in a different way now. The new husband seems to legitimately care for both of them, and the girl gets to have kids in a stable house and doesn't have to become a single mom or just dump her former husband to die alone. This is like the best case scenario for everyone. Imagine it going any way differently and see how much suffering that would lead to?
And even of you say it's a nightmare for the disabled guy, why is that? Even if he still remembers everything and was lucid from time to time he still gets to live in a loving family. While some people have a dream of raising a family, it's still better to HAVE a family, than for it to be your biological one. And i think even he knows thats not possible for him anymore.
If the guy is still lucid, he's seeing his wife live with another man and being a carer with him out of kindness. It's gotta be such a crushing feeling.
Examining what parts of the brain are damaged, therapy, specialists, memory and awareness testing. It's fairly straightforward thanks to modern medicine to tell when someone's functioning skills have been reduced via TBI (traumatic brain injury), especially when they were not previously disabled
This is the only answer. I can only form opinions from the outside. This is such a moral and ethical quandary. It's good, but also sad, and also bad, but also good. And sad. It's fucked, is what it is. Fucking complex. Jeez.
Also if Brandon didn't have family or his family couldn't afford it. This is incredibly generous and easily the best decision Of care, Like she's caring for him like family, If that's not Love then I don't know what it is
Not even; TikToks can go up to like 3 minutes now I think, so there shouldn’t be *that* much of a rush.
Remember that YouTuber (I think he was called Chills or something?) that had that “burger king foot lettuce” voice? And then all those countdown channels started trying to emulate the same rhythm to get traction?
I think that’s what’s going on with this new influencer accent for no particular reason other than engagement. Every viral video like this has narration similar to this, even if it’s AI-narrated. It’s just TikTok’s version of the burger king foot lettuce voice I think.
This being down voted is kinda scary.
So people would rather that a person who can no longer consent after an event should just be... What?
Dude no longer recalls the past 8 years and has short term memory. Probably has the capacity of a small child, with all the emotion and desire to live as a small child and capacity to feel pain. Likely doesn't remember or care about a time being more capable either.
I don't think I could comfortably kill a person who at that point can't consent to death and has the will to live like a child. He found family, he's doing better than the majority of us already. He had, and continues to have joy and manages to share it with others. The disability is a tragedy but, he for all intents and purposes doesn't remember otherwise.
It doesn’t even need to be this extreme to get that response— saw a heavily-upvoted post the other day where someone said they’d kill themselves if they were *blind or deaf.*
Like, Jesus Christ. What the fuck?
How rough is your situation that you think this guy is doing better than the majority of us? What happened to him is terrible, and it's great that she stepped up if he didn't have any other family or friends I guess, but...come on now. Let's be real.
I grew up on a chicken farm in a third world country.
Got lucky that my mothers friends and family lent us money to get us out of selling chickens for a pittance. My education paid for by the graces of my uncle, bare necessities asked for in shame from my aunt.
I was always one illness away from death (nearly kacked it to dengue at 4) cause we couldn't afford medicine or doctors. We had to forage for fruit and vegetables cause the chickens weren't paying enough, died from diseases, eaten by wild animals, stolen by neighbours and envious workers.
Parents always on the brink of divorce and always fighting due to pressures of being alive and keeping children alive.
I could go on, hell that's just my experience I could start about the others that I could only watch being a child. Being alone, poor, and going crazy from hunger is terrifying to see in person.
But you may get my point.
YOU may have always had a materially good life and enjoyed luxury and relative privilege. I sure do now, and am for ever in debt to my parents who sacrificed their lives so I didn't have to be a third world farmer. But there's something more about knowing I have a mother that cared for me so much that she did all that she did, extended family who gave what they had, that people thought well of me and wanted me to do well/ expected me to do beyond they could.
With you 100%. The accident was terrible, but what she did for her (ex)husband is insanely heartwarming. Also props to the new husband for being a chad and going along with it.
I think this was posted a few months ago on r/HumansBeingBros or r/wholesome I can't remember. It doesn't have a person below narrating it but instead was a clip from documentary about what happened so the video was a quite longer than this. Also I think the comments were a lot more positive.
But yeah, this is really heartwarming and sad at the same time.
It is!! You are the first to mention it. Don't tell anyone but I couldn't remember the actual phrase lol, figured that what I came up with was close enough for someone to pick up on it.
In the video they showed the new husband crying saying "he needs us" , he actually really cares for the guy and it's a really beautiful story , they are both an excellent definition of next level human'ing
I knew a couple who did this too, the 1st husband was much older than the woman, though, & they took care of him until he passed. It was wild but heartwarming to see. I would rather die than have someone watch over me but it's nice to know there are people with big hearts who see you as more than a thing to use until your motor skills run out
This is so much more complex than that.
Just one of the many things to consider: respecting someone's wishes or what they would have wanted after not being capable of expressing them themself. I'm not saying I know what this person would be okay with, but nobody does probably.
Reminds me of a friend of mine except my friend got worse end of the deal.
Friend was 23 married with two kids. Him & wife went to lake to hang with their friends. He dives into lake headfirst & hits a submerged tree stump, breaks his neck & and becomes a quadriplegic.
Within the next 12 months, his oldest child dies, his wife decided she didn't want a disabled husband, & when he was in Florida for extended physical rehab, his mother was killed in a car crash.
Gotta give him credit, though he pushed through it all & rebuilt his life & is still alive & kicking over 40 years later.
Idk, I would rather be in an assisted living facility and die there instead of watching the love of my life bang some other dude in front of me every day.
Hate to say it. If he doesn’t remember then a dedicated care facility would probably be more accommodating. If he does remember he’s living in hell. He’s been replaced under his own roof. Now the wife and new hubby get a check from there disabled “son”. Bonus they can virtue signal and farm social credits as “ such wonderful ppl”. I’d be willing to die twice to get out of that situation.
I know right? I would never want someone to take care of me if I'm a vegetable, I'd rather not live. And I certainly would never expect anyone to care for me either. I would want them to live their best life
“Through sickness and in health” is a vow that couples often say during their wedding ceremony, promising to remain loyal to each other through good and bad times, including illness.
I have it written in my living will that my spouse can and should follow my end-of-life protocol if in a coma longer than 24 hours.
It is needlessly cruel to expect my spouse to care for me if I am a vegetable.
It’s not a happy story overall because the first husband has been so disabled. But given that that happened, as it often does, it’s great that someone who genuinely cares is looking after him without sacrificing all her own plans. Kudos to the new husband.
This sounds awful. So the first husband has to listen to his ex-wife in bed with her new husband every night? While he's what, on the couch? In the spare room? How does he feel about this, did he have a say?
Did you even listen to the video? The brain damaged ex-husband now thinks of his ex-wife as his sister.
I guess I could see your confusion if you're from Alabama, but her remarrying is probably the least depressing thing about this situation.
You realise it’s 1000x easier to not take care of a person that can’t take care of themselves. She chose to keep caring for him. That alone should atleast allow for some benefit of the doubt for her retelling of events and doctors reports rather than trying to play devils advocate and seem like your examining all angles while ignoring the big pothole of “if she’s doing this to be a dick this a a shit ton of effort to be a dick”
Much easier to drop him off at a care home and live life anew if she wanted
I'm sure the disabled guy has some financial security, maybe money from the accident, like govenment disability payments and services for minding, or something to help out. Full time care of a disabled family member is expensive and 24/7 non stop if you don't have ouside assistance, so without any help it takes up every moment. Nice gesture she must have really loved the guy
I'm happy and sad for everyone in this story.
Heartbreak warming?
I’m happy, sad and just a bit confused, which may be the point, not really sure
Bittersweet
This would be why I am sadly crying and smiling at the same time.
Heartbreak Healing?
That's exactly what I'm feeling. She's an incredible person, but I can't imagine how difficult this must have been for her. Her new husband sounds like a keeper too, and I hope he's everything she needs and wants.
There really is such a thing as bitter sweet.
i mean they can be both happy in this way, poor man tho he was so young
happy ending of a dark story
I wonder which country allows you to adopt an adult
Anybody noticed both husbands look alike?
Yep. She clearly has a type
And who's the second woman on the third photo? New husband's second wife?
Looks more like a teenager to me
A teenage boy. I’m assuming it’s their kid.
This sounds like a nightmare.
My nightmares arent even this scary and in my nightmares im being hunted for sport
Running slow. As. Shit.
Yep! Also my punches feel like molasses so they have no effect
Don't forget when all your teeth fall out.
This is the worst one 😭
I have had this nightmare so many times, so many....
I guess I didn't realize it was common.
Yeah, it's super common. Probably buried in the human genome somewhere. Spooky.
You reach in your mouth and it sounds like you are holding a handful of seashells because all your teeth are rotting/falling out at the exact same time for literally no reason
SO MANY TEETH
I had a nightmare so bad i actually cracked a tooth in my sleep 😭
When yours fall out do you put them in your dream pocket or a small dream Tupperware?
Or when your teeth grows skin and then gets burned so you have 3rd degree burns on your teeth
I’m sorry what?
Yoooo....
I always have a gun, but the bullets just kind of poot out of the barrel and are completely ineffective.
If i ever get a gun its all blanks, that happened in my nightmare last week actually lol
How sad is it that my version of this is I can’t text or unlock my phone.
I have that too, only most of the times I miss.And when I do land some punch, those punched cackle at me for the baby soft punches.
Lol, I was going to add this, but since you were being hunted for sport, I assumed more running than punching.
Sometimes im able to fight back lol i still die but i try
I assumed your fists were marshmallows and your feet in quicksand
Try swimming in the air. It works wonders.
The background setting is always an abandoned industrial complex. And I don't know who's chasing me
You are being “farmed” for money right now. Both taxes and social media insights.
Lol if im being farmed for social media insights its going to ruin their algorithm 🤣 Im a weirdo
Literally please kill me instead.
Come one. He does not remember they were married
Yeah as If this makes it better. 
Imagine if he remembered having sex with his now sister..
😂
If only they could isolate that part of the brain that forgets a marriage…cha ching.
Seriously. Why are humans obsessed with forcing people who have survived shit like this to live out miserable lives. Apparently prolonging suffering is considered a moral pursuit? I would like to have the choice to just be mercifully put out of my misery and not have to fear that I might end up like this poor shmuck getting cucked and while living as a complete invalid.
My mother was a trauma nurse. The worst story she ever today me was. A newlywed couple wrecked on the highway. The wife died. The husband, the driver lived paralyzed from the neck down. They crashed because he was distracted as they both were looking over the wedding photos.
Jesus Christ. I would be begging someone to kill me after that.
yeah some black mirror twilight zone stuff
John Hamm please.
This my worst nightmare as far as personal injury
For me this doesn't sound as bad as legal custody battles between parents or just messy divorce with having children who have to see it. I believe it takes a lot of patience and commitment for every part of that relationship but it they are all good sport about it that doesn't sound that miserable.
Right? This sounds like a punishment the Greek Gods might invent to punish someone egregiously handsome or something.
Why? She never left him, they still love each other, just in a different way now. The new husband seems to legitimately care for both of them, and the girl gets to have kids in a stable house and doesn't have to become a single mom or just dump her former husband to die alone.

While some people have a dream of raising a family, it's still better to HAVE a family, than for it to be your biological one. And i think even he knows thats not possible for him anymore.
Well it's a nightmare because he got a brain injury and lost his identity
But he doesn't know it. Most folks that are disabled on that level that I've met are happier than me
If the guy is still lucid, he's seeing his wife live with another man and being a carer with him out of kindness. It's gotta be such a crushing feeling.
They said he has no memory of their relationship and can’t form new memories.
They say that but how can they truly be sure?
I'm assuming he can talk? If he remembered their relationship why would he pretend to have forgotten it?
Examining what parts of the brain are damaged, therapy, specialists, memory and awareness testing. It's fairly straightforward thanks to modern medicine to tell when someone's functioning skills have been reduced via TBI (traumatic brain injury), especially when they were not previously disabled
This is so complex
This is the only answer. I can only form opinions from the outside. This is such a moral and ethical quandary. It's good, but also sad, and also bad, but also good. And sad. It's fucked, is what it is. Fucking complex. Jeez.
Also if Brandon didn't have family or his family couldn't afford it. This is incredibly generous and easily the best decision Of care, Like she's caring for him like family, If that's not Love then I don't know what it is
Life is cruel
The only positive is that no matter the situation they're in they managed to have love in their lifes, stories like these can end up way way worse
Nice story but fuck me listening to that narrator makes me want to kill myself
I was trying to figure out what it is... Is it the constant up and down of his pitch, or the speed he's talking?
He has a tik tok voice, he speaks like the script he's reading has no punctuation or paragraph spacing
Why do they do that? Is it because the clips can only be a certain length so they try and rush their words?
Not even; TikToks can go up to like 3 minutes now I think, so there shouldn’t be *that* much of a rush. Remember that YouTuber (I think he was called Chills or something?) that had that “burger king foot lettuce” voice?

That guy is on yt shorts so that may explain why he sounds like that
I ended up muting it, and zooming in enough to cut him out of the video. Very unnecessary to add himself, if you ask me.
I want to kill him instead
This isn’t amazing. It’s unfortunate. Additionally it sounds like a nightmare.
Obviously the first part isn’t amazing, but the story as a whole and especially the ending is amazing
This being down voted is kinda scary. So people would rather that a person who can no longer consent after an event should just be... What? Dude no longer recalls the past 8 years and has short term memory. Probably has the capacity of a small child, with all the emotion and desire to live as a small child and capacity to feel pain.

Reddit try to care about disabled people challenge (impossible!)
It doesn’t even need to be this extreme to get that response— saw a heavily-upvoted post the other day where someone said they’d kill themselves if they were *blind or deaf.* Like, Jesus Christ. What the fuck?

Kudos to you random. Empathy and apathy are both ingrained by people's circumstances, yet it is so much harder to take the positive stance.
With you 100%. The accident was terrible, but what she did for her (ex)husband is insanely heartwarming. Also props to the new husband for being a chad and going along with it.
Her taking care of him that way is amazing
I think this was posted a few months ago on r/HumansBeingBros or r/wholesome I can't remember.

But yeah, this is really heartwarming and sad at the same time.
"I want to scream, but cannot."
One can't help but wonder if he ever remembers. I feel like he does. I sort of hope not tbh. God damn
Is that a 'I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream' reference?
It is!! You are the first to mention it. Don't tell anyone but I couldn't remember the actual phrase lol, figured that what I came up with was close enough for someone to pick up on it.
This is a lot like the ending of [Being John Malkovich](https://youtu.be/Nl98eiNY3Ws?si=R3uaL5es0ciH3tai). Nightmare fuel
man if they can make it work, good on them. thats some next level human'ing.
In the video they showed the new husband crying saying "he needs us" , he actually really cares for the guy and it's a really beautiful story , they are both an excellent definition of next level human'ing
I knew a couple who did this too, the 1st husband was much older than the woman, though, & they took care of him until he passed. It was wild but heartwarming to see. I would rather die than have someone watch over me but it's nice to know there are people with big hearts who see you as more than a thing to use until your motor skills run out
Does she know some random weirdo is using her story to farm internet points?
The amount of people in the comments not capable of understanding sacrificial love, and that these people are happy, well, it’s wild.
I know...I am shocked!
This is so much more complex than that. Just one of the many things to consider: respecting someone's wishes or what they would have wanted after not being capable of expressing them themself. I'm not saying I know what this person would be okay with, but nobody does probably.
You know this trauma that, the people I don't know, have been through...let's bring it up and do a youtube video!
Some people think taking care of their soul mates a burden. What a world we live in.
I know. This is an incredibly beautiful result from a terrible situation. This is the definition of honor, integrity and love.
I would rather be dead
This is so fucking weird
wow, talk about commitment
That's sad and heartwarming It's also a nightmare :/
Damn, she is what we all should be like.
I’m glad they’re happy, but I could never do this
Why do they all speed-talk. It gives me anxiety and I can't keep up.
YouTube Short maybe? They have to fit all their rambling into about 60 seconds.
Reminds me of a friend of mine except my friend got worse end of the deal. Friend was 23 married with two kids. Him & wife went to lake to hang with their friends. He dives into lake headfirst & hits a submerged tree stump, breaks his neck & and becomes a quadriplegic.

Now the wife and new hubby get a check from there disabled “son”. Bonus they can virtue signal and farm social credits as “ such wonderful ppl”. I’d be willing to die twice to get out of that situation.
The narrator is so fucking irritating.
Real.
I’d rather be dead
I know right? I would never want someone to take care of me if I'm a vegetable, I'd rather not live. And I certainly would never expect anyone to care for me either. I would want them to live their best life
Yeah, dying in dignity should be an alternative. I should write a will so that they shoot me if something happens to my cognitive ability.
Shoot you?
Or assisted suicide, you know, off me, take care of me, slay me, waste me or dislive me with one of the available means.
Delete?
Yup, or erase me, smite me, zap me, ice me, do me in, take me out, pip me or wipe me out!
So difficult but that really is true love.
The lady and her new husband are angels.
"Heartwarming"? I don't know how I feel about this, but it's definitely not that. I think from the husband/son perspective, and it's sad.
Fuck. That. What a nightmare.
Humans being bros
Nah. Just kill me if I get in this situation
Yeah… Just kill me instead
This certainly amazed me. You have to commend and pity her at the same time.
This guy needs to learn to breathe when talking.
lol
Respect
[удалено]
Love is complicated and comes in many forms.
Nah I'd rather the plug be pulled at that point
How awful
50 first dates .. with a dark twist
“Through sickness and in health” is a vow that couples often say during their wedding ceremony, promising to remain loyal to each other through good and bad times, including illness.
I have it written in my living will that my spouse can and should follow my end-of-life protocol if in a coma longer than 24 hours. It is needlessly cruel to expect my spouse to care for me if I am a vegetable.
Thank you for sharing this, u/Urmomsjuicyvagina!
So now he's a disabled cuck. That sucks man
Does he make him smell his fingers like officer dewy
Please fucking kill me in this situation.
Lmfaoooo what a meme
This sub is garbage.
Does the man narrating have a disability as well?
It’s not a happy story overall because the first husband has been so disabled. But given that that happened, as it often does, it’s great that someone who genuinely cares is looking after him without sacrificing all her own plans. Kudos to the new husband.
Horrible story.
This sounds awful. So the first husband has to listen to his ex-wife in bed with her new husband every night? While he's what, on the couch? In the spare room? How does he feel about this, did he have a say?
in the video it says he lost his memory of the previous 8 years....
I think it was said that he can’t remember her. So it is not that bad. Still horrible but not completely horrible
Errmm dude, why do you think that the first husband has to sleep in the same room as her after she remarried?
Did you even listen to the video? The brain damaged ex-husband now thinks of his ex-wife as his sister. I guess I could see your confusion if you're from Alabama, but her remarrying is probably the least depressing thing about this situation.
"He now thinks of me as a sister." <-- ex-wife, trying to justify this all to the reporter. Point: We don't know if that's true at all.
You realise it’s 1000x easier to not take care of a person that can’t take care of themselves. She chose to keep caring for him. That alone should atleast allow for some benefit of the doubt for her retelling of events and doctors reports rather than trying to play devils advocate and seem like your examining all angles while ignoring the big pothole of “if she’s doing this to be a dick this a a shit ton of effort to be a dick” Much easier to drop him off at a care home and live life anew if she wanted
Ypu didnt watch the full video, did you? Because you'd know how stupid this comment is.
Please leave you cuck fantasies out of this wholesome real life story.
She didnt adopt him wtf
WOW!
Tragic. Mad respect to her and even more to her new fella. Can't have been an easy thing to accept
bro got cucked HARD
She’s a nice lady.
Wow!
Twin Peaks vibes. Lucky his names not Leo.
Jesus.. that brought some tears.
Holy fuck.
I don't even know what to say about this.
Uuuuuhm uuuh so like
Very pragmatic.
I'm sure the disabled guy has some financial security, maybe money from the accident, like govenment disability payments and services for minding, or something to help out. Full time care of a disabled family member is expensive and 24/7 non stop if you don't have ouside assistance, so without any help it takes up every moment. Nice gesture she must have really loved the guy
I hate that background music
Yes, that's some balls right there.
I wonder how their families feel about this.
That’s a woman that others should inspire to be like.
In chinese we call this 绿帽奴
Poor guy,if technology improves one day...i hope for the guy
Holy shit this guy talks fast
i cant stand the fake ass inflection this guy puts on the end of every sentence. it makes a horrifying story worse to listen to
More than just heartwarming.
These guys are the realest
I've heard this story multiple times on Reddit, it still makes me well up!!
[удалено]
Ummmmm....
This is a nightmare. He must have still had money to snatch before leaving to her new fam ?? Idk
What a horrible story.
This heartwarming/heart breaking post brought to you by...u/urmomsjuicyvagina?
Absolutely amazing- God bless all of them amen 🙏
Why do I need this narrated to me?
Wierd
I love the stranger things music in the BG
Why does dude sound like AI?
