Man Goes Viral For Promoting His Spouse’s Harvest Moon Assortment: ‘It is Stopping Infidelity’

A Reddit post has gone viral on social media after a man sold his wife’s Harvest Moon Nintendo collection and claimed he was uncomfortable with “virtual men”.

The life sim genre is insanely popular due to its relaxed playstyle and the ability to date and marry characters in games like Stardew Valley and Story of Seasons.

A man has caused an uproar online after claiming he sold his wife’s Harvest Moon collection for this reason. He says it’s “cheating prevention” because they contain a romance mechanic he’s not comfortable with.

Harvest Moon Reddit post goes viral

In a now-deleted Reddit post shared on Twitter by @ellle_em, the newly married husband sought advice from the AmITeA**hole forum after getting rid of his wife’s Harvest Moon collection while she was at work .

“I intend for us to become a committed couple,” he wrote. “I have tolerated her love of farming simulation games like Harvest Moon and Stardew Valley, but now that we’re married I expect her to confide in only me and not these virtual husbands.”

The user claimed he sold his partner’s Nintendo GameCube and Game Boy Advance games on eBay. “I’m also going to sit down and get them to uninstall Stardew Valley,” he said.

Why did the husband supposedly do this to his wife? “You don’t see me buying body pillows from scantily clad anime girls or teasing fictional women, and I don’t expect her to do the same for fictional men,” he said, before later explaining, “This is about preventing Infidelity. ”

Before the post was deleted and after it made its way onto Twitter, the internet was obviously having a big day with it. “Oh, look at a halterneck in the wild trying to live out his pathetic excuse of a fantasy. How sad…” one person replied. “This marriage is doomed,” said another.

Others questioned the thread’s validity but claimed he was actually the A-hole either way: “If this is real and you’re that insecure then you need therapy.”

While the post might indeed be a well thought out troll, one thing is clear from the scathing response: don’t mess with gamers and their virtual romances.

And let’s face it, Stardew Valley has some beautiful potential suitors. *cook kiss*
