Starting point is 00:00:00 I hope you enjoy this story. My sibling had an affair with my partner several months before our marriage. Our mother was aware of it but remained silent. Recently, she appeared with a child on the way and feeling upset about receiving negative comments on the internet after I revealed the truth online. 30-year-old woman here. I have a sister who's just a year older than me. We've always had such a good relationship so finding out about this one hurt. She might as well have just stabbed me in my heart.
Starting point is 00:00:30 On top of that, I've been with my fiancée since high school and we've always been with each other through thick and thin. We were going to get married in a few months. I have no idea why on earth they did this to me. What's even worse was that our mom knew and out of fear of getting involved. My sister apparently begged her not to say a word, she didn't tell me anything. Thankfully, my dad wasn't having it and he spilled the beans to me. I've never been so angry in my life. Not only did I kick my fiancé out and throw out his stuff, some of it in the trash, but I decided
Starting point is 00:01:06 to hurt my sister in another way. Why not do the same for my fiancé? Simple, she's my sister. We've always had a good relationship until she decided to ruin it months before my big day, which I allowed her to be a bridesmaid in. You don't do that to anyone, let alone your sister. Your blood. My sister's big on gardening so when she lost her dog, she made a good woman.
Starting point is 00:01:30 garden for him. I knocked on her door, she didn't know that I knew, and of course I played nice. I moved on to what she did with my fiancé and I slightly damaged her garden. I honestly just crushed a couple flowers. Am I sorry? No. Her excuse sent me over the edge. What just happened isn't a reason. Sleeping with my fiancé just happened like that, I guess. I told her I didn't want her speaking to me anymore and that I also didn't want our mom to speak to me. My fiancé won't say a word since I threatened to call the police if he ever went near me again. Yay, I made my sister cry and scream at me, but I genuinely feel like I should be the one crying.
Starting point is 00:02:14 She knew how important getting married was to me and now I can't experience that. Pair that with the fact that I had to hear this from my dad, not my bum excuse of a sister or fiancé. Hell, even my own mother didn't say a word to me. It's like she lets my sister run her. Fuck you, Tia. Fuck you, Logan. If they ever see this, I'd be absolutely delighted.
Starting point is 00:02:39 Edit one since many people keep bringing this up. I'm upset that I lost the relationship I've always put 100% into. I was excited to get married, of course, but then this news came out. It really hurt me. I didn't want to believe it at first. I almost thought my dad was pulling my leg. Later turned out to be true. I swear I have trust issues now. Edit 2. Thanks again for all the suggestions, y'all. It's helping me feel more confident in exposing them. I'm just a bundle of nerves right now because I know shit's gonna hit
Starting point is 00:03:14 the fan again. When I do so, I'll try my best to come with an update. I mean, it's the least y'all deserve, ha ha. Last edit when I say I decided to hurt her, it's because I kind of ruined something so meaningful to her. I feel like for most people, besides on here, that would be a bit far. It's just how I feel, though, I understand it's not what you guys wanted LOL. Clearly worked a bit though since she thought I was so damn psychotic for that. Like I said, I don't feel sorry about hurting her that way. Forgive my terrible mood, I definitely plan on exposing them sometime today. Comments where Op has replied, comment her, expose them to everyone and ruin them. Boop, I've actually debated on doing this after I got done dealing with my sister,
Starting point is 00:04:02 but if anything, I can unblock her Jews to show her what other people in the world think about her trashy ass. Ha ha. Seriously though, I still can't believe she did me like this. Comment her, expose them. They will try and spin it differently and make you look like the bad guy. Tell all his family your extended family and mutual friends. Tell them that you have cut all contact with them and you wish not to be around them ever again. Boop. So far, his sister was the only one who reached out to me about this. She was in hysterics.
Starting point is 00:04:38 Asking me WTF happened. She fully supports me in this. Not sure about the rest of the family but as of now, the only person I can even trust is my father. Probably her too. Comment her, this is horrible. When did this happen? I can't believe your mother. Oop, I actually found out over the previous weekend.
Starting point is 00:05:02 Under another comment, I wrote how my dad explained it to me. Supposedly, my sister decided to tell my mom. She obviously asked her to keep her lips closed about it. My mom apparently told my dad over the weekend, not right away, and then he told me. The thing is I have no idea when the hell they even had sex. That wasn't made known to me or my parents, it seems. My sister could have kept this secret for God knows how long until she finally decided to come clean to my mother. For all we know, they could have done it months ago.
Starting point is 00:05:37 Maybe even several times. My fiancé denied even sleeping with her more than once, but I'm finding it hard to believe him. A small part of me keeps trying to justify my mom's actions, but I'm not. can't seem to understand. She clearly didn't care. Boop on everyone knowing about the wedding being cancelled via social media. Boop, huh, I did make a post apologizing for canceling the wedding but I've turned off notifications because I kept getting a flood of messages asking what happened. So far, only his sister and my cousin know. I couldn't bear to even say anything else to other people. At the time, I felt so sick. These comments are giving me ideas
Starting point is 00:06:18 though and they're very tempting. Update 1, August 28th, 2024. Hey everyone. Things like my other post has been deleted. Thanks again for the comments and support. I found out quite a bit. To start off, I did expose her and my ex on my story. I unblocked them both to tag them. Shout out to one of the commenters who wrote down what I should say. I saved it and wrote it but added some other words of my own. My ex actually blocked me after he saw my story. I sent my Reddit post to my sister after. At the time, she didn't see but I got a call from my ex's mom. She was furious about everything, but she asked me how I was holding up and if I've heard the news. My heart sank a little because I honestly couldn't bear to hear any more bad news.
Starting point is 00:07:10 I asked her what she was talking about. She said, so you haven't? I said no and asked her to tell me. My sister's pregnant. Apparently, Logan told her in an attempt to make her chill out on my sister. I didn't want to hear anymore so I told her I needed to hang up the phone. Thankfully, she accepted because I literally burst into tears two seconds later. After five minutes of crying, my sister responded to my story and text with the Reddit post link. She was texting me in all caps begging me to take it down. If I wasn't so upset, I would have laughed at it. I would have laughed a little, but I just sat there watching her blow up my phone. I got even angrier when she said I'm coming over and I'm telling mom that you're spreading my business online,
Starting point is 00:07:55 all right, you big baby. Still never responded, though. I felt, frozen. 30 minutes later, she's trying to break my door down, so I opened it in a fit of rage and I started screaming all kinds of shit at her. She kept screaming at me to take it down and I told her that's going to stay up for as long as I want it to. She kept telling me she didn't deserve online hate and she even tried telling me that she's always been there for me through everything and that she would have forgiven me if it was the other way around. That's when I punched her. A small part of me felt guilty, I'm not the fighting type and that was probably evident in my last post, ha, but she retaliated by saying it's not my fault. Logan was tired of you and that's when I told her that I hope she
Starting point is 00:08:37 ends up like her dog and that she deserves every bit of hate she's getting for ruining my relationship. I even apologized for not ruining her entire garden and her stupid face at first. I know I'm wrong for saying this, but the entire time, she was playing the victim. She called me evil and told me to rot in hell. Kept saying I was punishing her over a mistake. I said you have no idea what you've put me through and I know you would have done the same thing if you were the victim. She kept crying and insulting me because all she's ever done was support me through everything
Starting point is 00:09:10 and I had the nerve to punch her in the face and allow strangers to bash her on the internet. I told her she deserved it and I don't want her talking to me ever again and if she comes near me, I'm calling the police. She kept saying I was being extremely unfair and that she said she was sorry in her texts but I wasn't having it. I told her to tell Mom I'm not talking to her again either. She asked me if I was really going to cut her off like that and I just wished her good luck with her unwanted child and told her to go home. That was the last time she walked off my porch. Anyway, I had to clean up my favorite vase, but it doesn't even matter. At least they're out of my life. However, it's weird how sad I feel now. It's for my own good but damn, I'll never experience
Starting point is 00:09:55 the bond we had again. On the bright side, seems like I've dodged two bullets. Thanks again, though everyone, maybe I do need therapy. Last edit to say, that my dad called not too long ago asking me to take every post down because according to my mother, my bitch sister is bawling her eyes out over mean people on the internet. As if I'm taking anything down. My dad's pissed about her pregnancy, but my mom continues to defend her by saying we need to chill out on her a little bit. This is why I'm not talking to her. Thanks again, though, everyone. I'm exhausted and I need to worry about other things. Update 2, August 31st, 2024.
Starting point is 00:10:37 I've officially decided to go LC with my dad today. Surprisingly, he wasn't that upset about it. However, he's still on team take down the posts and that's why I made my decision. My mom wants nothing to do with me because if I wasn't going to respect the family, there's no point in trying to get to you. Wow, it's almost like that's what I wanted. My cousin and my ex's sister have been supporting me. Apparently, my sister has had meltdown after meltdown because more people are slowly
Starting point is 00:11:07 finding out about the affair not only in person but on the internet. She actually got into it with my cousin online and according to my cousin, my sister keeps asking her to tell me to take down the posts because she's sorry and she felt pressured into doing what she did. First I even heard about my ex was from his sister. She told me that they did speak and although he's not ready for a child, he doesn't feel comfortable leaving my pregnant sister on her own. He also wants me to stop what I'm doing, but oh well, they're made for each other. Anyway, I've surprisingly been feeling a bit better thanks to my cousin
Starting point is 00:11:41 and my new sister, as I like to call my ex's sister now, ha. I've actually gotten some good sleep. Still considering therapy too. A very tiny part of me feels pretty bad for exposing my sister and and I'll always miss the relationship I've had with them, even despite my last encounter with my sister. But they've hurt me and it's what they deserve. If they're not taking it well, that's their problem. Thanks everyone once again. Next story, Brother called me a whore at a barbecue so my husband knocked him out and my parents want me to divorce him or cut me off. But turns out brother was jealous of my happy marriage. Hello everyone. This past weekend me and my husband were over at my parents' house for a barbecue, the day my brother for some reason started to have a go at me,
Starting point is 00:12:29 calling me names and belittling me. My husband pulled my brother aside and had a talk with him and the insult stopped. An hour or so later we were standing around talking with some friends and family members and my brother came up to me and told me I'm a whore. His exact word were, you know you are a fucking whore right. He said it loud enough for almost everyone at the party to hear. All I saw was my husband next to me look at me, then I felt a push to the side my husband stepping in front of me and the next thing was my brother out cold on the ground with blood on his face all I heard is my mother yelling and my husband saying you don't talk to my wife like that I warned you already. Before I continue, my husband didn't hurt me, he didn't push me hard or anything like that.
Starting point is 00:13:12 Don't know how to describe it, but it was like a push that someone will give you when they are trying to pass. I went like one step back, that is all. I am not mad at my husband. I'm mad at my brother the whole day he was demeaning me, insulting me, belittling me we don't know where this came from as he has never talked to me like that or to anyone that I know of. The bigger problem I have it that I have to chose. Either my husband or my parents. My parents are pissed and have given me an ultimatum. I either leave my husband and divorce him or they cut me off completely.
Starting point is 00:13:46 My husband doesn't give a crap that they are mad, the only thing he is mad about it that he only got one punch in his words. I love my husband and don't want to lose him, but I also don't want to lose my parents. They have supported me through a lot and have always been there for me. I know they are serious as this is the first time they have ever issued me with an ultimatum. They also threaten my husband with an assault charge, but he doesn't care and welcome them to do it. I'm stuck between a decision that will change my life forever and I'm panicking. I have received messages for friends and other family members that have given. given me support and condemned my husband but they are leaning more on the support side.
Starting point is 00:14:25 Any advice will be appreciated? Edit to clarify, I am to choosing my husband. I have never questioned that but I also don't want to lose my family. I am very family oriented and family to me is everything. I want to find a solution where I can keep both. Comments where Op has replied, commenter one. Info, why do your parents think it's okay that your brother called you names? What is their excuse?
Starting point is 00:14:53 Oop, they haven't excused his actions, but they are condemning my husband for resorting to violence. Commenter two. What kind of family does this stuff? It sounds very dysfunctional. What were the circumstances whereby your brother goes off on you like that? Now your parents issue an ultimatum? I appreciate that your husband stuck up for you, but that was a terrible political move. Boop. One thing about my husband, he is sweet and gentle, but he has never cared what someone else thinks about him other than me, and his own mother.
Starting point is 00:15:25 Update, November 5, 2024. First, I would like to thank everyone and I want to apologize as well for the way I worded my post. It's no excuse, but my emotional state isn't the best. My husband is my choice and I have no intentions of leaving him at all, never had. I know it's early for an update, but I'm more confused now about what is going on. My parents invited me over to have a talk with them, but they wanted me to come alone as they didn't want my husband at their house. My husband refused to let me go alone and said if he isn't going then he won't allow me to. He basically said with you alone there they will just pile on you and that I won't let happen, so we went together. My parents wasn't happy to see him and my mother wanted to say something until my husband told her he isn't there for them but me and if he is forced to leave I will leave with him. I agreed with him.
Starting point is 00:16:13 Deluctantly they agreed, my brother was there as well. He has a broken nose and chipped teeth and refused to look at me or my husband he just kept looking at the ground even while talking. Apparently what happened with my brother is that he broke up with his girlfriend a month ago. It's more like she broke up with him don't know the reason don't care. I wasn't aware of this as we aren't close like that. According to him the reason he had a go at me this weekend is because my life according to him my perfect life with my husband kept popping
Starting point is 00:16:43 up on his feeds and he got jealous. Everything on my social media is with my husband. I don't really use it for anything else, but his feed was full of my posts and that set him off as I had something that he didn't. It got worse when he overheard me and my mother talking when I had a discussion with her over children. Me and my husband is currently trying to have a baby and that just made everything worse in his head. His life was falling apart and mine was going perfectly and I had and was trying for have what he wanted with his ex. He said he didn't take my husband seriously when he pulled him aside and my husband warned him. I seriously don't know why he went after me as nothing he said was true in any sense and I did ask him why he said those things. He refused to answer me.
Starting point is 00:17:28 I asked him why the whore comment because he knows my husband was my first in everything and it has only been him all these years he refused to answer. I asked him if trying to have a baby with my husband makes me a whore as it involves sex and he just left the room. I asked my parents why they didn't step in and tell my brother to leave or stop my dad said he wanted to, but my mother told him to leave my brother B as he is not actually hurting anyone. The same with the ultimatum, the wanted to protect my brother, I asked what about me and they were silent. All my father said was the ultimatum was my mother's idea and he went along with it.
Starting point is 00:18:03 This is basically where we are at the moment. A lot more was said but I don't think it's matters. My husband did apologize to my parents for what happened but refused to apologize to my brother. When my mother asked him to apologize to my brother, he outright said no. He won't apologize for standing up for me and my brother got what he deserved. He was warned and didn't listen. My mother said it still doesn't excuse him for hitting my brother. My husband asked my dad what will he do if someone called his wife a whore. My father said I will have a talk with that person, but will never hit someone. My husband laughed and told my dad,
Starting point is 00:18:38 he is a weak-willed, spineless man if he allows someone to demean his wife like that. That got my mom red in the face I could see her get angry. That is when I told my husband it's time to leave. I told my parents that I will be going low contact with them and the ultimatum they gave me broke the trust one had in them. I understand they wanted to protect my brother but in doing that they hurt me. This seemed to take all the anger out of my mother. They asked if I will be cutting them out completely and I told them that is up to them. I don't want anything to do with my brother at the moment as he can't even apologize for what he said to me. I told them if they can respect my wishes we will see. When we got up to leave my husband went over to my parents and
Starting point is 00:19:19 actually still greeted them politely but told my dad it's time grow a backbone. I don't know what I saw but I think it was shame in my mother's face because my dad looked at my mother and she looked away from him. This is where we are at the moment. My husband on the way back home apologized for possibly escalating things but told me it was time someone told my dad the truth. He said whatever punishment comes he will take and deal with any fallout. I don't need to worry or stress about anything. Edit, brothers ex cheated on him and apparently he begged her to fix things but she choose the other guy and now he is just pissed and angry at every woman and believe we will all do that eventually. Got a message from my cousin the family had a go at my parents for allowing my brother
Starting point is 00:20:02 he did and they came clean as to why he did what he did but couldn't do it when I was over and we talked. They couldn't be honest with me and just refused to answer. Additional information from whoop, oop, honestly, really thinking about it. The only person I have felt genuine, unconditional love and support from is my husband. There are a lot of thing I just swept under the rug and thought it with siblings things, but looking back whenever my brother had a difficult time at what taken out on me in some way and my parents have never stuck up for me. My husband has had my back around every corner and had never thrown things in my face like my parent or brother has. Oop on her parents' relationship and why they are not hearing her out.
Starting point is 00:20:43 Oop, my father just follows what my mother said. On my 26 years of life I have never seen my dad go against my mother with anything. Anything she says or want to do it fine with him, matter the cost. For instance, my dad basically has no friends as my mother didn't like them, so he gave them up and hasn't made new friends because when he tried my mother find something she doesn't and he agrees, Oop should have gone alone to talk with her parents and brother about her husband's behavior. Oop, so I should take the way he worded it over the fact that he wanted to be there and make sure I'm not getting gaslight. I took it as he want to ensure I'm safe and what happens doesn't happen again. My wording is bad as my emotional state isn't the best that
Starting point is 00:21:24 is on me and I should have probably double-checked everything before posting but his emotional state can't be any better than mine. He is dealing with everything and on top of that he is trying his best to keep my mood up. I know it sounded bad but I took what he said with all the other actions he took so far to keep me safe.
