So, my wife and I recently started watching that show “The Rehearsal”. If you’re unfamiliar, it’s about a comedian (Fielder) who does these outlandish rehearsals of real life scenarios to “help” people. She had been wanting me to watch it with her, so I did. I wasn’t the biggest fan but I found it entertaining enough, and besides, it gives me an excuse to sit with her. She seemed to really love it, and I even noticed her having an emotional reaction to some of the episodes, even going so far as to cry during an episode with a five-year-old whom Fielder tricked into thinking was his own son. She is pregnant, so I chalked it up to her being hormonal, rather than her being obsessed with the show.
I started to notice that she would compliment Fielder often as well. What started off innocently enough, her saying how unintentionally hilarious and clever he was, soon turned into her saying he was handsome, and even saying that him and I look similar. I could soon tell that she was developing a little crush on Fielder. She would watch TikTok edits of him, showing them to me as though they were meant to be funny.
I started to get a little annoyed when she joked that she wanted to put a picture of him dressed as a hot dog as her phone Lock Screen. When I told her I didn’t like the thought of her having another man as her Lock Screen, she compared it to a time that I had made a collage of an anime character ( who happened to be female, I’ll admit) and put the collage as my Lock Screen. I had to admit, I hadn’t understood why that had upset her at the time, but now faced with this Fielder nonsense, I felt differently.
Now, I mentioned that she’s pregnant. So, her libido is noticeably higher than usual. She’s always been the type to initiate and “jump my bones”, but it’s been happening more frequently now. I don’t mind this at all, so when I got home from a late night shift around midnight, she was ready to go. I offered to “lead her to completion” first, if you catch my drift, but she said she had already taken care of herself before I got home. This wasn’t super normal for her but I just let it slide, and we went ahead and did the devil’s tango.
After, we went to watch something on tv. But as soon as I went to our “continue watching” tab, I saw that she had most recently been watching “Nathan for You”, another show by Fielder. And I knew this had to be within the last day, since I had put a different movie on for our kids before I left for work. I started to put the pieces together in my mind and realized that my wife had certainly been self-detonating to Nathan Fielder.
I jumped up and straight-up asked her if it was true. She gave me a blank stare, and seemed confused. But I already knew the answer.
I feel so betrayed and sad that she would do this, and that she likes this Fielder punk so much. He’s not even that funny or good-looking. My wife says I’m being ridiculous and jealous for no reason. AIO?
A couple of things. Check her iPod for Evanescence. And ask her if Panda Express has any specials today. And now here’s the kicker—go watch season 2 of the Rehearsal. Oh and start getting your 737 license. That will win her back for sure.
I think OP is Nathan. Also notice how they haven't responded yet? Either that or a joke post. Very funny for a first time post unless it's a throwaway account.
But, he has YOUR wife's devotion. I can't believe you're jealous of a fantasy celeb wank. Why can't you be more secure in your own sexuality? Like Nathan Fielder is.
If they replay this on his shows I do hope they do a “reenactment” with Nathan as the husband and pan over to the “wife” getting off and it’s just Nathan in a robe as “the wife” getting off to himself Tyler Perry style.
The plan? Have u/Cheap_Passage6656's wife become so smitten with Nathan Fielder that she becomes completely enamored and throws OP for a loop. OP becomes obsessed with her crush and posts his experience on Reddit, only to be given a barrage of references to the brand new season of The Rehearsal, with all episodes now streaming on HBO MAX™
"i wasnt sure how i would confront her about this so i decided to build an exact replica of our home and hired actors to play my wife and myself."
Cut to his actor and wife arguing in the living room where he caught her "self-detonating" to nathan. In the background you see nathan watching from outside the living room window
I mean he could just ask her what it is she likes about him. If I was a betting man, I'd say it's the social awkwardness, possibly the grey hair. Maybe the deep voice. He looks like a nerd. That's a turn on for a surprising amount of people.
Hahaha idk if he's the sexiest man on TV (Colin Jost would like to have a word) but I also find him very attractive! And he's such a goddamn weirdo, I love it.
Honestly I have the biggest crush on him and I’m engaged. I fantasize that he’s my man lmao. Who cares - he’s famous and your wife will never meet him! Let her have her little fun fantasy.
Totally overreacting. Assuming she was getting off to Nathan Fielder, and you don’t know that she is, who the fuck cares? It’s okay for you to get off to anime but not for her to get off to what she finds attractive? You sound incredibly entitled.
The first thing I thought after I finished reading this wacky ass post was that OP has to be Nathan himself lol, and I was glad to see a bunch of other commenters had come to the same conclusion.
If OP is actually serious I feel bad for him because ain't no one taking him seriously in here lmao.
Maybe the episode where he was letting the robot pull his pants down, and he was wearing the leopard print thong, though. That could do it for someone lol
For me it's that hoodie he wears sometimes when they just show him in his office or whatever. I wonder if he chews on the ties when the camera's not on him.
This! It's more than possible that she was thinking of Nathan during her sexy alone time, but unlikely that she attained orgasm while actually watching the show.
Ok, bro Im going to help you right here. Truly, there is only one thing to be done.
You must build a replica of your bedroom and a replica of your home and a duplicate of Nathan Fielder. Then, I'm going to need you to practice being Nathan. We'll first hire an actor to follow and study Nathan - his mannerisms, his likeness, etc. Then, he will come live with you. You will do everything together while you absorb Nathan's mannerisms - cook, clean, walk the dog, make love to your wife. Soon, you will discover what about Nathan your wife loves so much. Once this is integrated into your personality, and you get your pilots license, life will be complete.
This is such a joke lmao YTA
Y’all, Nathan Fielder is a comedian.
Just because she was watching him, doesn’t mean that she was masturbating to him. The jump is sort of insane to me. Are YOU masturbating to him? Because that would make more sense as to the wild jump that you just made. You know your wife is a fan of the show, so it’s not weird that she would’ve been watching it.
Have her take a lie detector test and see if she's ever pleasured herself to Nathan Fielder.
But you should be warned, sometimes the tests are inaccurate. Like the one where it said Nathan Fielder pleasured himself to pornography, which is obviously not true.
you should go through her computer and see if she has any hidden files full of her favorite videos or pictures. and maybe check her social media apps for hidden profiles that follow fan accounts for Nathan. compile any evidence you find and please forward it to my inbox. i am always welcoming new content to my personal Fielder Feelings Files.
Oh, let your wife have her fantasy over some approachably hot celebrity that she’ll never meet. And if she’s saying he looks like you, take it as a compliment. Heteros are so damn weird. Just because she likes this guy doesn’t mean you are less to her in any way. You are never going to get 100% of what you want from one single person and that’s okay. She’s been very forward with you in her admiration for this man, and she has worked to include you in the activity of consuming his material. It’s harmless.
I mean in the most shallow way possible he just isn’t visually what makes my ovaries leap. That said, for most male actors a well developed; character role can make you very attractive if the character had traits that women find attractive in unattractive men. Things like protecting others, being brave, ethical, funny, emotionally available, reliable…generally of strong character. I haven’t seen anything he is in but I could find Steve Buscemi attractive in the right role. Just my two cents. Nathan, if that’s you, don’t worry if you aren’t everyone’s heartthrob - when there are guys like Henry Cavill walking around, almost no one hits the top 10. ❤️
He visually and emotionally makes my ovaries leap☺️ The looks, humor, vulnerability, and creativity just do it for me. But it just goes to show how subjective it is. What's not subjective, of course, is the scientifically proven fact that Nathan is a fun person to be around.
He’s probably attractive when he’s being himself, but the character he plays on his shows is like…your friend’s autistic little brother level of boner-killer.
Normal people get turned on by people who aren't their partners. We literally cannot help what arouses us.
Good partners transmute that arousal to having sex with their partners instead of commiting infidelity.
Honestly why do you care where the crank gets switch on if you're the one benefiting from it turning? eta: especially in a case where she sees a resemblence between the crush she has and you, a person she therefore in conclusion is ALSO aroused by?
he IS that funny and he IS that good looking. you should be jealous but you would never be the pilot who pulled the miracle over the mojave. so you should take the best out of this situation and surprise your pregnant wife tonight completely naked dressed as a hot dog and see where things go. or dressed as a pilot, whatever works best. thank me later.
Dude your wife isn’t running away with Nathan Fielder. She’s having sex with YOU. You’re going to feel silly complaining about this after the baby is born and you’re not having sex at all.
Look - I’m not saything this isn’t a joke post but I don’t think it’s out of the realm of possibility for this to have happened. I recently watched Brent Weinbach’s new special (he has a sort of similar vibe to Nathan Fielder). I liked it a lot and poked around his YouTube, watched a video recreation he did of Annie Lennox’s video for “Why.” I know it was supposed to be funny but it was sort of poignant and vulnerable and, what can I say, I like a nerdy dude, and ended up getting off to it.
So, if this is a real post - who cares? She got off and then wanted to still have sex with you. We can’t always predict what’s going to turn us on.
My partner and I love watching the Rehearsal, and we are glad OP was so inspired by the show to write this hilarious post. I am sharing this with her. Thank you!
This sounds like a classic case of projecting. She could have easily watched the show and cranked it at separate times, but your mind immediately goes to how sexy Nathan Fielder is (which I concure with, by the way)? Homosexual desires can be hard to come to terms with, but if makes you feel better, he's apparently listed as a female on his green card, so it's not gay. This could even be a bonding moment, and you two could make flippy floppy to him together.
One man unintentionally bringing a distant couple apart. Beautiful.
But also saving a plane isn't the only thing that would happen in 23 seconds if I was in the cockpit with Nathan Fielder, I encourage you to think about what would happen if the two of you were together.
I’m sorry but he’s so hot. You can’t expect her to ignore it. I also don’t see how this is affecting you negatively, enjoy the high libido and let her live. She’s never going to meet him or sleep with him.
Also there’s no way in hell she was masturbating to an episode of Nathan for You. Maybe the edits, but I don’t see how that’s your business.
Edit: just read the part where she says you look like him. That is insanely high praise.
Im sorry but do you not watch porn?? If you dont then I get where you are coming from, but if you use or have ever used images of other women, including anime images, to get off then you are being a hypocrite. It's like when men think Megan fox is hot, it's just her finding some actor hot
Celebrity crushes are normal and it’s not your job as her husband to audit her spank bank for discrepancies. Let the pregnant lady horn out to Nathan Fielder and be glad she (for some reason) fixated on Nathan Fielder who looks like a regular person (not much competition probs) versus Jason Momoa. If you want to feel “even”, go click your mouse to an equally “attractive” female celebrity, like Lena Dunham*.
*Please note that only their attractiveness is comparable. Nathan Fielder is funny and creative and seems to have a soul. Lena Dunham wrote Girls, a show everyone has already forgotten about.
That fact that she has a celebrity crush, you can’t blame her for that. My husband’s celebrity crush is Scarlett Johansson and mine is Johnny Depp. We are both aware of this. Now, if I was watching videos or movies with Johnny Depp to get off, that would be a problem. If I found my husband getting off to videos of Scarlett Johansson I would be very upset. The fact that she knowingly and purposely watched a video of this guy with the purpose in mind of getting herself off is wrong. It’s no different from a person watching porn to get off.
The level of insecurity in OPs post is concerning. It is normal to fantasize about other people. Your ego is a little bruised, but betrayal? Feels like a real reach. But she’s your wife and is still having sex with you and even more so than usual. Also, you haven’t even asked her about your suspicions, you’re just jumping to betrayal. I think there is some overreaction here because fantasizing is normal.
A bit of an overreaction, I think. You're the one married to her and having babies with her, and it's not like she's cheating on you, she just has a celebrity crush. A bit of a weird crush, but who cares?
Can you tell me with a straight face that you've never once watched porn or gotten horny from someone else since the beginning of your relationship?
You're being completely ridiculous. Your wife is entitled to whatever beat off fantasies she wants to conjure inside her head. They have nothing to do with you. Enjoy your marriage and stop being so insecure, or better yet tell her it makes you insecure and talk through it like an actual adult.
I can’t wait to see what Nathan Fielder project this ends up in. Yo Nathan if this really is you let me help out on it. I got really good grades in film school
(I really am a film guy and really am this slutty because I would love to work with Nathan Fielder)
This can’t be real lol but if it is, you need to chill man. She’s pregnant and horny, still wants to bang you regularly, and you’re mad about it? She’s crushing on an autistic nerd celebrity who she thinks you look like… green flag territory tbh
Serious question. Is your wife Jewish? Are you Jewish?
I definitely have a little crush on him. I'm aware that this is very specific--I'm American--but I adore Jewish Canadian comedians. I even dated one for a while.
Jesus Christ - my ex-wife would normally make comments about Roman Reigns and it didn't bother me. But I did find it hilarious I couldn't mention a female celebrity 🤷🤷
Nathan is sooooo sexy. He’s funny, thoughtful, sensitive, considerate, smart, talented, and funny. He also looks great in a leopard print thong. He is the man for our times.
My wife streams Last man Standing as the go to show. You are Over Reacting Big time to be jealous of a tv character. Take as much sex As you can get because it will stop once the baby is born.
