First story where the living girlfriend is cheating on her boyfriend and the boyfriend is told by the man she's cheating with that he's NOT allowed to go to the after party but the girl IS going.... All I can say about her and the one she's cheating with as well ... PIGGY PIGGY PIGGY 🐽🐷🐷🐷🐽
Best episode ever. Markee just call me mummy. OMG it’s scary. I really hope the therapy for J and A works one way or another. OP you should be a comedy author. You couldn’t make this up.
S2: Ahh yes this story with the crazy girl being fueled by the ex wife. Something tells me the ex wife knows how to push every button on Abbie and will keep doing so since she cant get to OP directly. All the other commenters focusing on Abbie needing mental health care (a must for her) doesnt realize antagonizers wont help either. If the son doesnt see the red flags (there are plenty), I dont blame the OP for wanting to go to witness protection.
If I go to a party with certain people I leave with those same people. As a woman that is an Iron clad rule. This little girl is going to find herself all alone very soon.
Story 1 Update: Sucks that OP was the only decent person here. Tbh I'd be too tempted to just comment "called it" on the post of the two of them. Or just screenshot and upload it with that caption. Though they probably won't last anyways. They'll lose each other how they got each other.
Joe isn't the type of person to take care of or keep one woman. She knows that he will be a loser to the end. But it doesn't mean that he's a hell of a lay. He's going to be a loser he's one of those... ones you can read. She knew you weren't good person, she was hedging her bet.
1:07:12 solid debate club topic, I’m in agreement, everyone sucks here. OP just had no compassion or kindness, yes her brother is a complete idiot who prioritised luxury over necessity and is wasting money and spending it like it’s going out of fashion whilst knowing his kids will need that money very soon (could be for anything, clothing, shoes, clubs, school supplies etc etc) and is instead being completely selfish, whilst also manipulating those around him by putting the burden of responsibility on everyone else instead of being a responsible and mature parent, but OP also sucks because there was just no need to cruelly say “that’s what you get for not thinking about your financial situation before having kids”, that’s obviously going to cause a fight! It’s fine if OP doesn’t want children of her own, but there’s no need to make such a pointed comment towards her brother like that because it comes across as “if you hadn’t wasted your time having children you could be successful like me” and “I told you children are a waste of time”, it just comes across as incredibly hurtful and like OP just hates children for existing. If that wasn’t her intention then she needs to clarify this to her parents and brother because that’s how it comes across. Also we don’t know how her brothers financials were before, he could’ve had a job, he could’ve been financially stable, he could’ve had savings, but then went on to lose his job and he’s had to rely on what money he used to have, these things do happen in life and can catch folk off guard where they then end up financially struggling. Obviously being an immature and irresponsible adult isn’t helpful because he’s burning through money and not considering his kids near future or even if he’ll have money for the basics in a few days, and it’s obvious that his wife is equally as stupid and more than happy to burn through money and wasting it instead of making sure their kids have everything they need, but OPs brother and SIL aren’t gunna be taking any financial advice from OP seriously now are they? OP, if she was willing to spend money on her nieces/nephews could’ve asked for an itemised list, an Amazon wish list, a general idea of what the kids need and rough estimation of costs, but instead she has immediately shot back in a rather vitriolic manner towards her brother for having children and was extremely condescending, like “Well if you were like me and didn’t waste your time on those _things_ then you wouldn’t be poor”. So everyone sucks here, her brother sucks for being irresponsible, spending when he can’t afford to be doing so; and for putting his elderly parents into potential debt because of his bad decisions. SIL sucks for encouraging the irresponsible spending. They both suck for attempting to weaponise their children for financial gain. OP sucks for being condescending and rude, for making a comment she knew would be hurtful, for antagonising this whole situation knowing it would make her brother hostile. I do not think OP is obliged to financially help her brother, I think he really needs proper financial advice and needs to actually mature as a person, and that OP doesn’t owe anyone anything, but honestly a simple “no” would’ve sufficed instead of creating this whole hostile.
S1: While the setting and the whole situation was truly unfortunate, I believe OP made the right call to tell the cousin then. I know a lot of comments said to wait, but if OP had waited, the cousin or other's could have asked why OP waited to tell the cousin.
I think you're feelings are correct and she probably sucked and talked and f***** who she wanted and now she figured out he wasn't worth it you your money your looks your everything is more than his. I would dump her and then I would f*** her best friend
Good morning, lovely people ! The second story is EXTREMELY uncomfortable to read.. Abbie is seriously insane, i would break up with her if she really insists my parents to be hers if i was OP's son... Seriously.. WTF is that? Wtf is wrong with this girl ? She need mental help and reality check, ASAP! (Wrote this after the first update) After updates: Abbie sucks so bad, EX wife sucks so bad.. And John sucks so bad as well for enabling this behavior and keep going with the marriage with this mentally unstable creepy girl.. I wish OP, OP's wife, OP's baby and Sally the best of everything ❤
Op I slept with her sister but it was the past so w-wait she's close to this friend She might of slept with him in the past This is disgusting and makes me uncomfortable how dare she But Reddit will be reddit So fucking her sister is no big deal but being close to a male friend is a huge problem
Story 2 : God help them if Abbue gets pregnant. I do agree with some of the comments, I'm willing to bet this has a lot more to do with the ex-wife. Even the way OP described Abbie being perfectly fine until she just flipped to crazy mode. Feel like it's some attempt to pull OP back in or something.
#2 . After listening for 3 minutes this girl is absolutely crazy, and this is deeper than it seems. At this point I think she is marrying Jhon just to get "that father" and after all of this, where is her fkin family??
If I was OP in Story 1 I would've thanked him on his Insta for taking her off my hands and specifically call her " my sloppy seconds" and tell him to enjoy the clap that he's going to get from screwing her.
Story 2 umm wtf new wife 28 and he's 41 😮 legit wtf edit to ad- nuh fuck calling someone else's parents mum or dad, it's actually disrespectful and usually done in a power move by the person doing it
The age of his new wife isn't really relevant to the story. You can be in an age difference relationship and have it be healthy and normal. I was 25 when I got with my partner who was in her mid 40's, now she's 50 and I'm 30 OP and wife would have been dating while OP was in his 30's as there is a 13 year age difference
--- No one at the party wanted OP, at the party especially Anne. Anne enjoyed the thrill of cheating and also was surprised that he thwarted her plan of dramatically dumping OP in public. --- Just tell Abby you are not walking down the aisle or dancing with her. OP should have a discussion with her parents about Abby's behavior, 'cause she be crazy. Hopefully therapy will knock the rose colored glasses off John's face. Ex wife's antics have caused her children not to walk, but run out of her life. She has a replacement daughter in Abby. OP's wife needs to stop engaging with Abby, she will soon be pestering her to be in the delivery room to see her sibling born.
Hoes gonna ho. His girlfriend is cheating trash, and there’s no rhyme or reason to what they do. They just follow their crotches because they never had any morals TO follow. She’s just mad her house/meal ticket threw her out early instead of staying a doormat. She didn’t have the new guy locked down enough to ask for cohabitation rights. He just wanted a fun time with someone else’s chick like reprehensible men do, not a responsibility or liability. So she’s out cold until she suckers some other poor schmuck into taking her on. She probably doesn’t make enough money to live without leeching on a good guy while side screwing the bad ones that she really wants.
Jesus story 2, Abbie is a trainwreck! At this point if I were OP I would be rude and say things as they are: "I don't love you, but any chance there was to also like you has been drowned in the tsunami you're imposing on my life. Please leave me alone, I want nothing to do with you"
how was he controlling? she left the party without even letting her boyfriend know, literally ghosts him, and continued to gaslight/play victim are we being serious??
I still think the first OP's dad is a piece of crap for how he was the one who cheated and tried to erase his mother multiple times. I also think OP too nice toward his dad
Abby's behaviour is all-round highkey giving Umanaged BPD, & she deserves empathy - but also boundaries. Son needs to figure it out, & help her seek the medical support she seems to need.
It’s clear the relationship won’t last, Joe sounds like the type to get off on “stealing” someone’s girl and now that the thrill is gone he’ll dump her like week old garbage. As for Anne I think it was an ego thing as well, she didn’t like that OP broke up with her. It’s just all so petty and immature.
21:08 Abby is gna go more off the rails one day and take out OP, his son, and his daughter one day or they'll just go missing. Good lord. I'll admit that i f'n love OPs humor and just kinda wanna hang out with him and his wife. Lmfaooooo
I go back and forth on Markee's takes, bit haha holy shit, he was spot on with the snark on story 2. Good lord, Abby is cray^2 and I'm so not surprised that the ex-wife is egging this shit on. She be cray too.
St1 So op is angry at the grandparents for telling the truth and after all their help op is going against the husbands wishes to move the kid's halfway across the world to a country that's nothing like Australia and that don't speak English
The second story reminds me of that movie where a crazy woman gets engaged to a man just because she wants to get close to the SIL and wants her to be "her sister".
Episode 1: Hoarding food like what Fred is doing is usually a maladaptive way of having control of one's life after a traumatic event, or a consequence of severe depression, or both. Shutting himself away is how he feels safe from everything that's hurting him. His parents did a number on him, kicking him out with nothing to his name, and now he's making the room into his NEET nest, insulated from the world outside, where he feels powerless and unwanted. He's essentially a hikkikomori - a shut-in. You can't draw those people out with just kindness, but you can't expect them to save themselves, because they're just that low and overwhelmed by life. OP or whoever takes over caring for Fred needs to find a professional, who knows how to draw people like Fred out of their nests and slowly re-introduce them to the world. It is a very hard, slow process, and it will be thankless until Fred is better, likely years from now. I really feel for him, honestly. If noone steps in, he will likely die alone in his rotting hoard of half-eaten chicken carcasses. His parents are scum for making his issues worse by repeatedly abandoning him, thus taking away his control and sense of safety again and again, making his hoarding problem more and more extreme in the process. He's making bad choices for himself, but his parents are the source of it all. OP also contributed to it by demanding Fred find the therapist himself and clean up everything just like that, when he damn well knows the guy is struggling and it ain't that easy for him, then kicking him back out into the cold, when he was too much of a problem to easily fix, just like his parents did. True kindness would've been to take some of that weight off of his shoulders, and made some decisions for him - made him clean up just a bit at a time with supervision, driven him to a therapist OP found for him, and reassured him that he did not need to stash food, because the pantry was always stocked and open. Or, well, not taking on a troubled 30-year-old like one would a cute baby turtle, then going back on being there for them, when they weren't so easy to handle anymore. Way to re-traumatize someone, OP. Hope the clean house is worth it.
That woman has bordeline personality syndrome or something else, as that trying to cling to getting family is straight out of a DSM-number related story. She is not alright and she will not change. She probably went through this with a bunch of other people, clinging, not listening and they are now a sob story for her to tell other people about how all her friends and family betrayed and left her. If pregnant wife wasn't visiting her she would completely spriral. They haven't seen the real her yet. She's going to be slashing tires and boiling bunnies.
@@NeloBladeOfRanni um, how she behaved and the obsession, theatrics, and dramatics absolutely are, especially combined with the habitual plotting and dramatics.
@@NeloBladeOfRanni This is not wanting a family, this is" intense but unstable relationships, with frantic efforts to avoid real or imagined abandonment." with a side of emotional instability and "disturbed patterns of thinking or perception, including paranoia." . Which is what creates these repeating patterns of wanting friends and in laws to be far closer than they are without listening to their wishes. She has a goal and everyone else is getting forced into it.
Honestly, OP sounds a little overbearing, making decisions for others, but the GF also seems like she doesn't care much...ESH, best solution is just to get clear of eachother. ._.
What story did you listen to? Because OP didn't come across as overbearing or making decisions for everyone whatsoever. He's let his son make his own choices. He gotten shafted for a large amount of money without his consent. He's let his daughter make all her own choices. He's let his wife make all her own choices. So what is it he made choices for everyone else about aside from rightfully demanding they pay back the large sum of money that has stolen and refusing to let a psycho force him into playing daddy? This isn't even remotely close to an ESH. The ex-wife and the FDIL are the sole AHs, and his son needs to grow a backbone and could potentially be in danger from the psycho.
S2: I agree with that comment, Abby is going to try this family crap again with OP's new baby, especially if it's a girl. She'll start with the "OP's girls" again thing, subtle this time to just his wife and John, and then try it again with Sally and OP.
Insecure is such a bullshit term. Like narcissist, toxic, and controlling. And yeah, if your gf goes to a dude's house without you until 5:42 AM, and thinks you're going to just accept it like a bitch, make her aware that you know your worth. The disrespect is intolerable.
