As an Indian I am so proud of this young man. He handled this so well. If you know the culture of traditional Indians you'd understand how hard that must be for the parents to stand up to that man due to his status. So proud of this unit. Wishing the young lads the best future.
2 story: And how risky is to let these kids together with a bunch of random dudes? No one is thinking on the safety of the kids? One of these online added dudes that Connie brings into the house could EASILY be a ped*. Poor kids and for this I also blame the OP that only thinks about Connie interests but not his kids safety.
Exactly! OP needs to stop thinking about himself and how ashamed he is and start thinking about the message his girls are receiving growing up in this environment. What are they learning about how to behave as people and as women? Is this what OP wants to teach them?
In the second story, both op and the wife are aholes for letting strange men in the house to live with their kids. She met these people online, letting them live with your kids is absolutely bonkers and neglectful
Da FAQ??? The OP married to Connie straight up says that she neglects the kids, does nothing around her hoarder house, and is extremely mentally ill, while at the same time alluding to his plan to leave his kids in this mess he helped to create, by only having them on the weekends! Dude. This is the worst kind of person, a liar, and a people pleaser. HE did this by always taking the path of least resistance, and then complaining about the situations he put himself in. And he now is going to do the same thing to the detriment of his kids. I have ZERO sympathy for this OP.
Sam, just letting you know, if they left you in there longer you could have perished due to not being able to draw a full breath. So, glad you're okay buddy!
Massive energy swings? Throughout the day? From day to day? Week to week? Depending on how long they last and how they manifest, it might be a sign of bipolar II… if you think that might be the case, you should discuss it with your doctor.
I'm sri lankan muslim, born and raised in the US. I recently went to Sri Lanka to celebrate some of my cousins getting married. My cousin who i was involved with the setting up and planning, only knew her fiance for about 2 weeks before the engagement was finalized. She gave me permission to look through their texts, and literally the first official text convo they had was about rings, size and style. Because I was born in a different country, I got to experience other cultures, so I don't like how fast my culture shoves marriage onto people. I started getting comments from older family when I was 16 and 17 saying my turn will come soon. I'm 24 now and I feel guilty about not being married already. My parents are an amazing sheild as well😊
It should be fine/ normal to call someone out on their ignorance or bad attitude while still having respect for them lol, they just don’t wanna hear it or be told they’re wrong. I personally will always call things out as I notice a lot of my own families issues come from sweeping things under the rug that need to be talked about. I also don’t care how old or elderly someone is, if no one has ever been honest with them, I will.
I play games every day, but I also work full-time, draw, paint, write, play guitar and sing. Life is about balance, and working out a schedule always helps.
If my sibling knowingly married one of my bullies, I don’t think I’d ever be able to talk to them again. Even if they apologized. PTSD from being bullied is very real.
Arrange marriage will never not be creepy werid and controlling. And in the man's favour. But man this digecdofe a while nuke and such a great brother. I hope he finds a kind person.
38:52 I wish I had that support that she has, I'm a single mom I get no breaks besides my mom watching her for an hour for my shower that only happens 1-2x a week 🙃🙃🙃
Man .. bullying... My son is 9, had been horribly bullied to the point I've stopped being pacifistic. There reaches a point where ENOUGH IS ENOUGH and ya gotta go Full Ender their a$$. #EndersGame #MakeEveryoneUnderstandWhyItsABadIdeaToMessWithYou #StopShortOfD3@d #DontTakeSh¹tTakeNames #ForgivenessIsNotRequired
I’m so sorry to hear you and your son have been dealing with the heartache of bullying. It can be so crushing to a kids spirit and sticks with us forever :(. I’m not sure if it’s school related, but if it is possible at all to switch schools it could be really beneficial. I deeply researched the best anti bullying public school in my district. It’s a little inconvenient that my kiddo can’t use the bus, but the school and the systems they put in place for bullying can make or break the experience all the students have there. My kiddo is in 1st grade now and has a very diverse group of friends. She doesn’t even notice disabilities, differences, races, really anything. A good person is a good friend in her eyes. I’m so stoked because she’s such a high energy kid with a heart of gold so she would be an easy target.
First time I full heartedly agree with Sam!! 2 years, different scenarios AND add time together . Narcissistic traits make it even more necessary to be able to wait for 2 years, . Sam you are growing up. Hope your golden rules / predictions does not keep true love from you. Since it is fun but maybe is your ( perceived) large red flag for a permanent relationship.
That second one? If OP has enough money I'd keep everything, buy a new home that can accommodate him and the kids and charge the ex rent so it will revert back as soon as she moves out.
ok for this adhd person using it as an excuse is giving me the dude I talked to when I was a teenager awhile back saying on in his mind adhd he sees as a reason to cheat
Personally I’m really glad that I don’t live in a culture that has arranged marriages BECAUSE of my parents. The only person I dated my mother likes and will call “boyfriend” was a 2-3 date wonder that I’m pretty sure used me as the girl to introduce to the parents so that he could go out with whoever he wanted. My mother took one look at his family’s house and a ten minute conversation with parents and decided he was perfect. This was back in 2015. The guy after him I dated for like 4 years over two different relationships doesn’t get “boyfriend/ex boyfriend” just an awkward “friend” but the guy that was a sh** person gets “lovely boyfriend” 🙄 if I had an arranged marriage I would’ve gotten sold off to the man with the most money she could get.
You think it’s easier (or I guess more justified …maybe?¿) to pre-vorce in OPs situation in the first story because it’s an arranged marriage ?¿ if I were in OPs position I feel like I’d end it, no if ands or buts. He never had a say in the marriage anyways and I can’t see the parents wanting to go along with it after finding out what the fiancé did to OPs brother. Unless he fell in love within 3 months (which is totally possible, I married my husband after knowing him for 3 weeks😂) I feel like it’d be an easy choice
