In the post she sounds off on her 31-year old boyfriend.
It starts off: “So, I know this is a weird question, but my boyfriend likes to spend a lot of his free time digging a tunnel on some property that he inherited. I haven’t seen the full extent…but it was remarkably deep under the surface.”
She goes on to say that he’s been at it for roughly a year, adding it is evident a lot of effort has gone into it.”
“At the front…he’s got cement beams, electric lights, even chairs and a small table. I haven’t gone into it, but it looked like the quality severely dropped as the tunnel went further…”
Unhinged boyfriends
She says she is primarily worried for his safety. “I’ve tried voicing this concern to him, but he just laughs it off and assures me that he’ll be fine.”
Reddit responses were mixed, some expressing concern, others offering outlandish theories for the intense digging.
TheVue 221 said in part: “I’m worried about him showing up on Dateline or 20/20 one night. You’ll be the girlfriend that disappeared, or either the one clueless about his kidnapping tendencies…”
Another, from SeasonalRot was more tongue-in-cheek:
“Guy : finds hobby that he enjoys
REDDIT : HE’S A SERIAL KILLER.”

Other theories were equally wild, like this one from poster kekjek: “Why do you go straight to kidnapper or murderer? What kidnappers are out there digging tunnels? There is more chance of being minecraft steve or a…viet cong…”
Another user, WalterOShea, said: “Royalty have been digging tunnels and underground lairs for millennia. Nobody talks about it. They’re all over the place….”

The original poster says the digger has become more fixated, revealing in the past he would only do it on the weekends. However, says he now spends “almost all of his free time” with his obsession.
Perhaps the silver lining is that, while she’s online trying to dig up a reason for his passion, she says her boyfriend always returns from his excursion feeling “really happy.”
