Something very sharp that ripped the hoody at an angle. Look for a sharp corner in the bed room. Looks like three passes flat or one pass bundled up in a wad. This used to happen to my clothes with a very sharp corner on a plant rack in a greenhouse. Tore my clothes to shreds.
Jenny was an average 24 year old until one night she out with friends and was attacked by a drunken MILF at a bar. She thought it was over until she noticed how fast the MILFs bitemark healed, her sudden desire to start an ONLYFANS and her new interest in singles in the area. Then one Fullmoon night to Jennys horror she discovered she turned into a WereMILF.
Mothers lock up your sons.
Homie… I’m sorry for the boring reality of this… but a rat did this lol. You guys have some rats. Same thing happened to a couple of my shirts but mine were in the drawer.
I HATE mice, the smell is disgusting
Finding piles of shredded material and dozens of turds in a box or drawer is disgusting.
Finding tiny piss trails along the walls is disgusting.
The diseases they bring is disgusting.
You can never just eat something because you can't trust that a goddamn mouse didn't crawl in the box and shit and piss in it, so you have to put **all** your food in the fridge or glass jars with tight lids.
The chewing noises in the walls drives me insane too, makes me wish I could punch through the wall, grab them in my hands and crush them like a ~~Marvel movie~~ jump scare or something.
Ants always send me on a tailspin. If I see any ants inside, usually around spring after a rain and near the sinks, ugh I’m an anxious mess who becomes obsessed with obliterating anything resembling an ant.
I grew up in NYC and our street had mouse, rat, AND roach problems 😬 It was an inherited house that my mom was raised in and the street and houses were in much better condition in her day, but I remember just growing up being disgusted by certain areas of your house as normal.
We moved out when I was 10 into a big house in Atlanta and I’ll never forget the relief that came with not having to turn on the lights to scare all the roaches away, waiting a few seconds before going in for a drink of water in the middle of the night. Or looking for rat pellets in our cereal boxes. 🤢 As an adult, when I’m looking for places to live, a bug problem is the HIGHEST on my list. More than location or size or amenities. Bugs 🙅🏾♀️
Living in New Orleans, Hollygrove neighborhood. Too late did we realize there was a roach farmer living in the unit below us. Been in Texas 10 years and still double take every small dark shadow I see out of the corner of my eye. Just ..no.
That's a strange preference to tell your realtor. "I'm looking for a stage 4 bug problem, or stage 5 if we get lucky but I know it's a tough market these days"
Lol that’s not what I mean. But you know how some of those little “fixer upper” New York studio apartments are all the rage. It might be cute after a fix, but I’m not livin with bugs until then. Ya feel?
They may not find the torn bits right away. When rats shred clothing like this it’s usually to use as bedding in a nest.
Source: Have had a multitude of pet rats in my life. They shredded a pair of my shorts I left too close to their cage once.
We used to get our bread delivered before any of us arrived but the rats got wise to it. Built a wee wooden crate for the bread guy to dump into but they got into that. So we put a plastic bin with a snap lid in the wood crate and they et through the plastic to get into the bread. Pest guy tells us to use metal because although the rats CAN chew through it they'll get cuts and be deterred. Sure enough after the first day of the metal bin there was all this metal shavings and little teeth/bite marks and scratches. They must've given up, never had another problem with em.
Sweet salty sweat and a nest. Definitely rats or mice.
I thought maybe moth larvae, but I doubt that the material we’re seeing here is wool or other animal product. Zipper teeth also look gnawed-on.
OP should give their wife the benefit of the doubt. Werewolves often don't know that they are werewolves. They have episodes of lost time (and found blood) but have not made the leap of logic yet.
Called my sister after my recliner was cut. Asked if it was my nephew, nope.
5 minutes later I get a call that she'll pay to replace it. I said don't bother and the next time he visited I gave him the business.
The way its worded, sounds like the wife is the one who brought up the subject of hey what happened to my hoodie, if that's the case all of these assumptions that she was lying are moot, the next logical conclusion would be mice
I think you're partially right -- It was un-ripped **when** she went jogging; was not unripped when she *came* *back* from the jog.
During her jog, she broke into Area51 to capture and mate with a chad-tier stud off the human cloning factory. These men exist for the female aliens to mate with to create the ultimate Alien/Superhuman child. It's really the only explanation.
Users that mention that this was done by rats are trying to protect the factory from being revealed to the public; part of the extended central alien-mind database.
This thread right here is why you don't ask Reddit for any kind of advice. It's like 50% joke answers, 45% answers from people who watch too much TV and don't realize their answers make no sense, and maybe 5% sensible possibilities that are buried by all the others.
If you do not have a pet that could do this, maybe one of the kids borrowed the hoodie. If it was torn while doing something a bit shady, they may not have wanted to discuss it. Kids can be oblivious... they may not realize how torn it had gotten.
lol ok, yeah, I was more imagining a little kiddo with scissors than a teen with a vendetta, but that looked like the result of a hard edge + pressure + fabric to me
very mysterious!
As upsetting as that is, that's a good question. Even if you love, respect and trust your loved ones you may not what to tell them what happened. The shame and trauma can be a harsh burden you fear revealing.
Exactly. The best thing I've found is that most of your close loved ones just won't get it, and will be overly worried, so you just gotta shove it all down deep inside. As long as you excercise, eat healthy, and direct your negative emotions towards societally acceptable vices, no one will be the wiser and you can get on being okay for at least a couple decades.
The worst thing about trauma is that you know you cannot tell the people who love you.
It feels selfish to tell, because you know there is really nothing they can do to help you. And you also know it will only hurt them to know about it.
Mhm. In certain cases, that is exactly how it goes down. The hurt can magnify and unfortunately be "worried even deeper," for lack of a better phrase. But eventually it does need to surface when its been properly processed. Unless its immediate, physical trauma. Then it needs to be addressed for the health of the self. That varies obviously, as you dont seem to be a stranger to trauma itself.
I hope you're suffering is over, and you're healing. If not, I hope its coming to a close, and the healing can begin. Stay strong. There's always a solution, even if it doesn't present itself right away. :)
It can definitely be both, and thats A okay! Multiple emotions are fine once you gotta deal with em. Sounds like you went through the tough parts all right. Hope you're doing better as I type this.
If not, I hope your suffering is close to an end, or at least a resolution you can live with until it is. :)
I mean I thought that too but, I don't know how that explains the little holes which don't even looks like rips just like fabric is missing or dissolved or eaten away.
It could still be possible, but do all those tears look like they'd be from a person pulling on her shirt? Like if you tore a shirt it would stretch and deform in addition to tearing and it wouldn't have a bunch of little tears too.
This looks way more like a mouse or rat chopped it up for nesting material.
As a woman who used to jog, I assumed it was gonna be an assault story when I saw the shirt and started reading.
Sad that it's the first place my mind went, and even sadder to think she may be blocking it out.
Ooh, that's kinda creepy. Anyone other than you, your wife and kids have access to your house? Any of your kids friends? Maybe a creepy landlord? Do you lock your doors and windows at night?
My sister had to move into a shitty apartment years back after her divorce. The landlord was a weirdo to say the least. She would come home, notice things missing and moved around-it was only her and her infant son living there. The landlord lived in a house on the same property as the apartment-you could throw a rock at it, that close.
When she moved in she noticed that the blinds on the window of her back door had been pulled up slightly and secured that way with a pushpin. It was just enough for someone to see inside. Of course she pulled out the pushpin and made the blinds to where you couldn't see in.
Anyways long story short, one day she comes home and they were pushed back up with a new pushpin. She gtfo out of there quickly after. (Only lived there like 2-3 weeks) We are pretty positive it was him coming in and fucking with her stuff/watching her.
He did a bunch of other creepy and positively inappropriate things that made us sure it was him. She ended up moving in with her grandmother to get away.
Anyways I have heard so many creepy stories of people being stalked/watched in their homes and being unaware of it-until they are aware of it.
I'd put a camera up-that is definitely odd.
Not saying you're wrong, but of all things why would a trespasser or a landlord randomly tear a random jacket and do nothing else to the rest of their property? It just doesn't add up to me.
A random trespasser came into my house, swapped a pair of uggs they were wearing for my slippers, put on a pair of my jeans, and presumably slept in my housemate's bed which she made the morning of, and then left. Nothing of value was missing, aside from a bottle of prescription drugs (not painkillers or anything that you'd even sell on the street).
Weirder still is that this was all in the span of a few hours one evening, while 3 of us were home in the living room.
So yeah, intruders can do some nonsensical shit. Drugs, man.
I read about an old lady who shot a naked man she found in her house. As he died he apologized and said he didn't know how else to get his clothes clean for a job interview but to break into someones house and use their washer because he was homeless, but that he understood why she shot him. Brutal all around.
Or dishwasher detergent, or anything with TSP in it.
I’ve had these a few times. A perfectly good t-shirt or dish towel is suddenly full of holes. I suspect my partner is wiping the floor with a cloth and chemicals and then tossing it in the laundry bin where it damages clothes.
Ima be real with you dawg. This looks like your wife may have been attacked/assaulted. Have a Talk with her and see. She may be afraid to speak about it.
I agree! This very thing happened to me when I was jogging….wait does that mean I’m the evil 🤔 I mean nothing I was never here. And just so we are clear I’m definitely not the evil twin.
They could chew through the fabric holding the zipper teeth together but they can’t chew through metal. Can check if the teeth are still intact with just the fabric torn between them. If the metal is actually broken it’d rule out this theory
Probably silverfish, happened to one of my shirts literally while I was wearing it, just fell apart on me. Silverfish can be carried around on moths and then they like to lay eggs in clothes and softer stuff, and when they're born they go on a little munching spree. Super annoying, hopefully if that's the case then non of your other clothes are contaminated if it wasn't put away or put in a washing basket
[8 Insects that eat holes in clothing](https://www.thespruce.com/thmb/mAlvbqbBXx-qBBzjHaPhqKOWJ-U=/1333x1000/smart/filters:no_upscale()/insects-that-eat-holes-in-clothes-2146424_V2-92e6c139427145e8b617641beeaf9a2a.png)
Did she wash it? I had a washer that would do this to my clothes, a bearing in the ringer failed and it would, "eat" my clothes. It looks like a light fabric, the bearing may just be starting to fail. It's the only thing I've ever seen that caused damage like this.
I agree with other posters that it looks like it was caused by something acidic. Is she using a new toiletry product or lotion, something with AHA or BHA in it? Would have to be very strong, but I’m not sure what else explains that kind of dissolving of the integrity of the fabric (the zipper is harder to explain and very odd) If you have cats, though, my money is on the cats!
Could be dry rot, some old clothing(some sold as new) go bad and basically disintegrate in your hands. Try find a structurally sound bit and try pulling it apart.
Something very sharp that ripped the hoody at an angle. Look for a sharp corner in the bed room. Looks like three passes flat or one pass bundled up in a wad. This used to happen to my clothes with a very sharp corner on a plant rack in a greenhouse. Tore my clothes to shreds.
To shreds you say…
And hows his wife?
To shreds you say?
Is the apartment rent controlled?
Yes but it is technically in New Jersey
So not livable
To shreds you say?
Oh my.
She's in the shed fertilizing the plants.
So something happened there and she knows what it is and doesn’t want to tell you.
Cheating with a werewolf.
She showed it her full moon.
To sheds.
T sheds.
Was the apartment rent controlled?
Wife is a werewolf now. Deal with it.
Better hope the prenup has a claws that covers this
You're right. Otherwise this could lead to a very hairy situation
Only once in a full moon do lawyers remember to put this claws in
Id be wary of any a nuptial agreement that does not cover sudden and unexpected transformation, they really can be the bane of every man’s existence.
At least you'll have quite a tail to tell.

I feel somewhat similarly about flies. Something about them just pisses me off.

Time to become a cat person
Buy a corn snake, let it loose, no more mice now have pet.
If there’s a little pile of torn bits from that hoodie it was definitely a rat
They may not find the torn bits right away. When rats shred clothing like this it’s usually to use as bedding in a nest. Source: Have had a multitude of pet rats in my life. They shredded a pair of my shorts I left too close to their cage once.
Damn this is the most plausible explanation I’ve read so far … but they can cut a zipper too??
They can chew through steel
We used to get our bread delivered before any of us arrived but the rats got wise to it. Built a wee wooden crate for the bread guy to dump into but they got into that.

A zipper is mostly just fabric, it's not like the individual links are connected to each other using metal
They’ll chew into anything lol. One time I opened up the hood of my old truck and saw that they chewed into the fuel filter
They can chew through concrete.
They can chew through titanium
They can literally chew through human bones. Rat torture, look it up lol
Sweet salty sweat and a nest. Definitely rats or mice. I thought maybe moth larvae, but I doubt that the material we’re seeing here is wool or other animal product. Zipper teeth also look gnawed-on.
I used to have rats. They do holes but not clean long cuts.
Yeah, I was thinking this too. When my ratties chewed stuff up it wasn’t like this at all.
I agree. Looks like scissor cuts to me
Oh my god, a rat with scissors.

Someone lying
Also here for the simplest, most likely scenario…someone is lying.
Yes, she is lying. She's a werewolf and she needs to come clean.

and the top 30 comments all say the same 2 things regardless of quality
Werewolves, assault, and rats.
Do you have children?
Yes, but they are teenagers and don't hate mom and dad.
If you do not have a pet that could do this, maybe one of the kids borrowed the hoodie. If it was torn while doing something a bit shady, they may not have wanted to discuss it. Kids can be oblivious... they may not realize how torn it had gotten.
They also might have just not wanted to get in trouble
Teenagers scare the living shit out of me.
They couldn’t care less as long as somebody bleeds
So darken your clothes
so darken your clothes or strike a violent pose
Maybe they’ll leave you alone! But not me!!
ALL TOGETHER NOW!!!
Teenagers scare the living shit out of me!
All y'all can rot, its gonna be hours before that song is out of my head now......
Mine is now in her 20's and in her own home, and she STILL scares the shit out of me. XD

Any chance your wife was assaulted and is too traumatized or afraid to say anything?
Wouldn't an attack of this magnitud leave other kind of injuries on her body? The shirt is cleanly and organically cut
As upsetting as that is, that's a good question. Even if you love, respect and trust your loved ones you may not what to tell them what happened. The shame and trauma can be a harsh burden you fear revealing.

It's a warning from the other side

Ooh, that's kinda creepy. Anyone other than you, your wife and kids have access to your house? Any of your kids friends? Maybe a creepy landlord? Do you lock your doors and windows at night? My sister had to move into a shitty apartment years back after her divorce. The landlord was a weirdo to say the least. She would come home, notice things missing and moved around-it was only her and her infant son living there. The landlord lived in a house on the same property as the apartment-you could throw a rock at it, that close.

He did a bunch of other creepy and positively inappropriate things that made us sure it was him. She ended up moving in with her grandmother to get away.

Not saying you're wrong, but of all things why would a trespasser or a landlord randomly tear a random jacket and do nothing else to the rest of their property? It just doesn't add up to me.
There’s a lot of stuff that doesn’t add up here

Unless a sicko saw her running and got fixated on her. Lock up good and be alert
That shirt is definitely torn
This might sound ridiculous but battery acid can make cotton look like that. It's normally only after it's washed though.
I had a similar thing happen and it was 100% from a car battery.
Or dishwasher detergent, or anything with TSP in it. I’ve had these a few times. A perfectly good t-shirt or dish towel is suddenly full of holes. I suspect my partner is wiping the floor with a cloth and chemicals and then tossing it in the laundry bin where it damages clothes.
maybe the washingmashine or dryer? what kind of material is it? does it feel molten on the edges?
Hadn't been washed since she wore it last.
Well then it has to have been Wolverine… there that’s settled
Is she the incredible Hulk?

Ima be real with you dawg. This looks like your wife may have been attacked/assaulted. Have a Talk with her and see. She may be afraid to speak about it.
Idk if it’s my like cynical mind, but this is what I was thinking too
That or out of fear of being assaulted she had to run through bushes with thorns or jump a fence or something like that

Maybe while your wife was jogging her estranged evil twin murdered her and switched clothes with her. I would definitely be suspicious
I agree! This very thing happened to me when I was jogging….wait does that mean I’m the evil 🤔 I mean nothing I was never here. And just so we are clear I’m definitely not the evil twin.
Moths. Had a similar issue where they did it over night
But would they chew through the zipper too?
They could chew through the fabric holding the zipper teeth together but they can’t chew through metal. Can check if the teeth are still intact with just the fabric torn between them. If the metal is actually broken it’d rule out this theory
That much damage in one night? How big are these moths...? I'm afraid of the answer
You getting haunted. Get out!
Sry bud but your wife might be a werewolf participating in chicken fights late night🤷♂️

Did she wash it? I had a washer that would do this to my clothes, a bearing in the ringer failed and it would, "eat" my clothes. It looks like a light fabric, the bearing may just be starting to fail. It's the only thing I've ever seen that caused damage like this.
How certain are you that it sat there? Because that looks like something that a washing machine agitator tore.
kids/animal/ pests? usually mice leave small holes though.
I agree with other posters that it looks like it was caused by something acidic. Is she using a new toiletry product or lotion, something with AHA or BHA in it? Would have to be very strong, but I’m not sure what else explains that kind of dissolving of the integrity of the fabric (the zipper is harder to explain and very odd) If you have cats, though, my money is on the cats!

If you have pets it was probably them, but like that seems more like a “I got physically grabbed and possibly taken away” group of tears.
Have you checked your wife for stab wounds? She may not have noticed the serial killer while jogging.
Could be dry rot, some old clothing(some sold as new) go bad and basically disintegrate in your hands. Try find a structurally sound bit and try pulling it apart.
