  • Don’t waste your time!

    The guy got scammed, but when in the heck did he stick with this woman for over 20 years??? In this podcast, it’s obvious that the woman is crazy, but to stick around for over 20 years says a lot more about him! The episodes drag on, give little new information, etc. I forced myself to get to episode 10 and had to tap out. Don’t waste your time.

  • Wild story

    First of all, the music in the background is unnecessary and distracting and annoying-most notably in the second season I had to fast-forward through most of the elevator music in the background. What starts out as an unlikely tale was really taken for a long ride takes a turn into a man obsessed with making of all the faults and bad behavior of this woman.

    As the podcast went on, I started to lose sympath And start wondering what in the world happened in Rachel that made her such a pathological... more

  • Hospital

    Didn’t you call the hospital when all this started happening? This is fascinating how a woman’s beauty can be noticed more than her actions.

  • Too long

    I tried to listen but way too long and disjointed. How did Harry keep track of everything that happened for 20 years? I feel like he made up this story

  • I’m not sure

    I think the story is interesting, I admit I love watching train wrecks. That said Harry doesn’t seem to have much self reflection or self awareness. Rachel is clearly a sick woman, but does he ask himself why he was attracted to that? For many people repeated stories of domestic violence or on going sexual abuse would cause sympathy but would not result in a stronger attraction. I get the creeps as Harry describes these lies of trauma which just result in him moving in for more. No question that... more
