Wholesome Reddit Stories With Green Flag Energy. More wholesome Reddit stories are here to brighten your day. Green flag folks are everywhere in today's vid. A man confesses his love for his longtime best friend, a dad embraces his son and his new boyfriend, and a restaurant manager changes a homeless man's life. Dustin Poynter on YouTube reads stories from the AITA subreddit and offers his opinion on each in the form of running around goofily in public fields with flags, very heartwarming.
Videos that Exposed Partners as Green Flags:
telling my husband we're having triplets
he secretly learned Chinese to propose
husband under anesthesia realizes he's married
(More) Wholesome Reddit Stories About Green Flag Humans
Less heartwarming are the Red Flag AITA Stories, though still handled with his kind, goofy persona.
[TW: Includes infuriating/terrible child rearing and relationship stories. I recommend the green ones for a good mood.]

I always feel a bit bad watching those "coming out of anaesthesia" videos because they seem so private, but that one is really sweet.

We are a green-flag-watching household, these are the little things that keep me functioning.

Heh.
A family friend fell in love with a Chinese student while he was in grad school. Her family was very traditional.
So he learned Mandarin in two years, then flew to her parents city so he could tell then that he loved their daughter, wished to marry her, and hoped that they would support the union.
Her father was surprised that they weren't asking permission, but the grand gesture showed respect in and that smoothed the way. They've been married now for 35 years.

A dear friend of mine recently got married. She’s about as white as you can get and married into a Mexican family. She told me a couple of days before that she had learned how to say her vows in Spanish as a surprise for him. She is as good a person as you’ll ever meet, and this just made me melt.

Comrade Doll's dad's first language was Romanian. When I went to meet him for the first time, he was in the hospital with bladder cancer (from which he would not recover). We had already decided to get married, but I knew her dad was important to her and I wouldn't have much time with him, so I wanted to show some respect.
I wrote a speech asking his blessing to marry his daughter and worked with her cousins to translate it into Romanian. When we went to see him in the hospital (the first time I met him) and CD went off to get some him something, I launched into my speech. His eyes welled up and then he began to speak. He had a lovely baritone voice and his speech rolled through peaks and valleys, conveying great emotion and warmth. The thing is, I did not actually speak Romanian and had done my speech phonetically. I had no idea what he was saying.
I waited until he was done then after a pause said, "Okay?" And he chuckled and said "Foarte okay!" (Very okay.)

This guy first started popping up on my instagram suggestions feed a while ago and I was super confused by his schtick. On instagram you can tell that people are doing these in tik tok and all the videos he was responding to were tik tok, so I scrolled by at first. But eventually I stopped to watch a couple times and saw what he was doing and now whenever he pops up, I will take the time to watch.
Seeing the longer form YouTube videos and finding out more about him, it sounds like he came out fairly well after really going through some stuff. He seems a nice fellow.
