I hope you enjoy this story. Precious sibling took my partner without my knowledge, and my guardians gifted her with my grandmother's earrings that were meant for me as part of our family legacy. As a result, I decided to sever ties with my unhealthy family. This story is so weird when I, 27F, was 20 years slash oh I was in relationship slash FWB situation with a guy, now 40M. It was messy, we were on and off for almost five years. He was always clear he wasn't ready for a relationship and I was always clear I was madly in love with him.

Every time I got tired of the situation and wanted to leave somehow he convinced me to stay, because love is free, we have so much time together, he wasn't ready to commitment. I asked advice to my sister, now 42F, and she gave me some crappy advice like made him compromise, leave stuff at his place and basically turn him into a boyfriend until it was too late to him to say no. I never managed to do that because I wanted him to love me as much as I loved him, not trap him. During the last night I spent at his place he said he wanted to try something more serious with me, talked about some dates he planned, etc. only to ghost me forever. It was hard. This was the first person I loved and he treated me like crap. Six months passed and my sister came home, we both lived with our parents,

saying she wanted to introduce her brand new boyfriend, she had a ton of boyfriends, but she said this was the one, it was a dinner only with my parents at our home, so I was excluded and expected to just go out or chill in my room. The day came and while they were dinning I ordered a pizza I came downstairs only to find the guy I was with six months prior dinner with my parents and sister. I was shocked but paid for my pizza and went to my room again to cry. After dinner was over I confronted my sister in front of our parents and begged her to not be with him. To be loyal to me, her little sister. There was no way she didn't know who he was, I had showed her pictures of him, his socials media, where he worked and she even know where he lived, they never met because he didn't want it to met my family and never introduced his.

But she knew who he was and she excluded me from that dinner because she knew. She said they met by chance after we stopped seeing each other. She knew how hard that rupture was, she knew how painful it was to not have even a closure, he just stopped replying, not even blocking me just left me there was. wondering after five years. She knew that during those six months was still hurting. I know how it was my fault, I was too naive and thought that if I stayed long enough he would be ready for the relationship I wanted and would learn to love me. Stupid, I know. She defended herself saying it was a coincidence and chemistry was there, she loved him and she wasn't going to lost the love of her life, this stuff only happens once in lifetime. When I was in my early 20s I would believe that,

However, now I know that there are eight billions people in this world, there's no one love of your life, you can find the love of your life multiple time if look for it. My parents sided with her and said I should get over it since we never have a real relationship. One and a half year had passed. I've been excluded from multiple family gatherings because he would be around and my family thinks I will bring negative vibes since I'm still bitter about everything. I have no feelings for him but I feel betrayed by my sisters and my parents, He is just pause on my eyes now.

My sister is now six months pregnant, due her age she had been extremely pampered by my parents. She still lives at home and is going to move with him maybe two months after the baby is born. Then they're going to marry. In my culture is normal that if a woman gives birth moves back, or stay with her mom so the mom will help with the baby for the first months. A week ago my sister's friends made a surprise baby shower

I happened to be at home I tried to talk to them. I don't know why, maybe because my sister and I were to close before and I'm sad were not longer friends. But her friends acted like I wasn't there and only replied to me with them yes-no or silence as that I was the one that created this mess. Or I was a home wrecker. Or I tried to seduce my sister's man. I was planning to move already, I was saving money, etc., but after that I left immediately to

a friend house. I'm in the process to find my own place. Two days ago I received a call from my parents asking me to have a talk. I went to their house and they informed me that the diamond earrings my grandma left me will be given to my sisters. Those earrings have been in my family for four generations and before my grandma died she said the earrings will be mine and my sister will receive a gold necklace. Grandma trusted my parents with the earrings, there was no will or anything she just asked to give it to me when I was matured. sure enough to appreciate slash take care of a family heirloom. Now my parents think since my sister is getting married first and is having grandma's first

great-grandchild my sister should have it. I'm really mad now, they're robbing me of something my grandma left to me. I don't think my parents are evil, I think they were to word my sister wouldn't marry do her age, again in my culture a single woman in her 40s is something to worry for her family, and now that she's forming a family they want to reward her with everything. But I was the closest to my grandma, she made it clear the earrings will be mine, not my sisters, not the first one to marry or have a child but mine. After two years of being excluded in favor of my sisters I gave the ultimatum to my parents

they give the earrings to me as my grandma intended or I will cut them from my life forever. Not going to lie the idea of cutting my family off is too painful, but I feel they already made me and still makes me so wrong I don't want them in my life anymore. I feel a little shallow fighting over this, but those are only things my granddad left to they are not E. entitled to them. Comment Southern Paley girl, you need to get a lawyer. Those earrings are your inheritance from your grandmother and if it's documented in your grandmother's will, they can be sued and charged with stealing.

I know you don't want to do this, but your family has already shown you that you don't matter to them at all. Do you honestly believe that they are going to care if you go no contact with them? Don't warn them that you are going to press charges for stealing, the will giving you the earrings will magically go missing. I'm sorry, Op, you deserve better and I hope you stay strong enough to make boundaries that you will be able to stand by. Op, Grandma left no will she handed her jewelry, and most of them were family heirlooms, to everybody. My grandma was the fourth generation with them. I was 12 when my grandma died, she gave the earrings to my mom so I could have them when I was ready to take care of them properly. I always thought I would wear them on my wedding day or a very special

day. Since I lived with my parents not so long ago I never asked for them because mom has them in a safe in her room with other important stuff. I don't know if they would care. I think they don't believe they're doing nothing wrong handing the earring to the sister that is having grandma first great-grandchild. But if grandma wanted that, she would have stated the sister that has the first child must receive the earrings, she said they were mine. Honestly, the entitlement. Southern Paley Girl, can you access the safe without your parents? Op, yes, I still have keys from the house. I'm worried that I take them it would be legal consequences. I have a text of my mom admitting the earrings were meant to me. I could use our extended family

that knows my grandma last wishes, but I don't it will be enough Southern Paley Girl. Keep the text, take the earrings. Then go no contact with no explanation, they are well aware of why you are going no contact. Your family is not good people and you are not required to keep them in your life. Update, this is old but I keep receiving messages every once in a while asking for an update. Yes, I got the earrings. After my post I went to my parents' house opened the safe, took the earrings and left. Then after that I went again, told my parents I need time to process stuff and be my own self and gave their houses keys, said I was leaving for good. There was some tears from my mom saying she couldn't believe I was such a bitter person, she raised me better,

I was turning my back to my family over nothing and finally that it was shameful that I would let the family house without being married or anything. So it was never about me or she loving me or anything but social pressure to keep an outdated tradition. My dad was very neutral, gave me a hug and wished me luck. For two months nothing happened and I barely have contact with my family, found a place to live tried to heal, have real fun decorating my new home, your normal stuff. And then everything happened at once. For those two months my sister and mom never reached to me,

only my dad sent a text once a week asking how I was and wishing I was doing well. and then my sister's boyfriend slash future husband slash also my ex started to follow me on Instagram again. I found it weird but anyway after all he's my sister's boyfriend slash father of my niece slash future brother-in-law slash my ex-FWB. That he started to like my stories and the replying to them with hearth emojis and looking good this happened three times maybe. When I received the voicemail for my mom calling all sort of names for going after a man that I knew was engaged, this was some kind of revenge over my poor sister that I was causing her so much stress her blood

pressure level was over moon. I was an inconsiderate femme fatale and she raised me better. Later I learned through a cousin that my sister took her fiancé's cell phone and found several conversations with several women including his attends to talk to me so of course she went to my mom crying about me trying to steal her fiancé. All messy T.B.H. Less than a week later another voicemail from mom asking me where the fuck were the earrings. She went looking after them and when she couldn't find them deduced it was me. She called me a thief. A disgrace. Dishonored me and said they didn't consider me family anymore. I was dead to them. And she will be taking legal actions against me for thief if it was

possible. I had no option but to block her and my sister and other family members that sided with them. My dad later texted me to let me now my mom went nuts and they won't take any legal action. By the end of last month my cousin texted me saying my sister had given birth to my niece. I know I shouldn't but I did it. I went to the hospital with a gift while wearing my beautiful and fancy earrings. I was kicked out, of course, but it was worth of it. I have no plans to see them ever again. Well, maybe my dad. Also my cousin. cousin, big gossiper, that girl, let me know my sister is getting married in May so she will have her happy ever after, after all. But I'm also living my best life, R.N. Comments, Spark

Axelotl. It isn't the right time for a vanguard dessert chili rookie mistake. When mom called to tell her about the earrings, Boop should have been prepared to yell in her most indignant voice, what the fuck do you mean you lost my earrings? And then imply that sister or ex stole it. and block everyone. They have no proof of her having shit. Matcha magpie, the whole situation with the ex and Upp's sister was an entire shit show on a lot of levels but bottom line, those earrings are Ups. As Grandma intended, Oop really needs to stay no contact for her own sake. Now on to the next story.

Story 2 Wife betrayed me and her mom, slept with stepdad on Spa Getaway. So I got revenge by blowing up their affair at family dinner, served divorce papers on the spot. My wife and I met when we were teenagers in high school. We lived a few houses down from each other and when I moved to the neighborhood she was very welcoming. She introduced me to all of the friends that I made and we were a part of the same friend group. We grew very close over the years we knew each other and eventually I confessed to her that I had feelings. To my surprise, she had them too.

We started dating and it really seemed like I had found the love of my life. While we were still in high school, she really leaned on me for support during a tough time. Her father had cheated on her mother with an employee at the store he owned. They went through a very nasty, bitter divorce and my girlfriend was very upset with all of it. She got pregnant the summer after we both graduated high school. It put a bit of a damper on our big plans for the future. Her going to college wasn't feasible since we couldn't afford any daycare options for a baby while she was in school, nor could we afford to send both of us to a university.

I ended up going to a technical school and getting certified in HVAC installation and repair. It wasn't what I wanted to do by any means, but after I finished I landed a good job that paid well enough for me to take care of my family. We got married shortly after and everything started to feel like it was falling into place. My wife was an incredible mom, we were all happy and healthy, and we were actually looking into buying a house. My wife was very close with her mother. I hate to say it, but I almost thought they were too close. I could tell that my mother-in-law's demeanor toward my wife changed after the divorce. She started treating my wife more like a friend than a daughter.

I knew she just needed somebody to talk to and sort through her own problems, but a big part of me felt like that was inappropriate. After their divorce, I didn't remember my mother-in-law ever dating anybody else. When we would go out to dinner with her, she would comment on how cute a server was or mentioned there was a handsome guy checking her out, but nothing ever came of those comments. My wife was the one to encourage her to get on the dating apps. She helped her make her profile and she even helped her prepare for a couple of days that she went on. After a few weeks of casual dating, my mother-in-law called my wife one night proclaiming that she was in love. She talked all about this incredible man that she met and how she instantly saw a future with him.

My wife was excited for her, partially because she knew that if she had another man in her life she might avoid over-sharing with her. My mother-in-law continued dating that man for a few months before she introduced him to us. To all of our surprise, when she introduced him to us, she introduced him to us, she introduced him to us. him as her husband. They had apparently eloped. It was a big shock to my wife and me. Personally, I thought my mother-in-law had lost her mind. After everything she had gone through with her divorce, it was very unexpected for her to behave in such a way. However, I couldn't deny that it seemed like they really cared for each other. The man was good-looking, had a good job, and was very charismatic. He seems like an all-around good guy.

I actually found that I like talking to him about certain things as well. Over the next several weeks, he was being slowly integrated into our family. We let him meet our daughter and he was introduced to other relatives at family gatherings. Nobody would have suspected that anything was awry. A few months had passed since he was introduced into our lives and my wife started to change. She was growing very distant from me emotionally and physically. We were hardly talking to each other about. anything other than our daughter. It seemed like she was avoiding every other topic I brought up.

Even ones as trivial as TV shows that I was excited about. After the birth of our daughter, our sex lives definitely slowed down, but it had never been halted altogether. Every time I would try to initiate anything my wife would tell me she had cramps or a headache and wasn't in the mood. I was starting to feel like there was something wrong with me. One night, she came to me and told me that she needed a night off. I was kind of confused about what she meant because she didn't have a job. When I brought that up, we got into a huge argument about how raising our daughter was a full-time job and how she thought it was disrespectful of me to ignore the work she was doing. I had no idea she felt that way, so I apologized and told her that she could book a room

at a local spa for a night and relax while I took care of everything at home. She was happy with that response and we ended the argument there. Her night at the spa came and went and when she got home it felt like she was back to her old self. She was happy and smiling and she told me all about the massages she got and how much she needed the rest. That same night, I tried to initiate sex and she rejected me again. I didn't pressure her into explaining or anything like that, but once again I felt very slighted by her. Still, I never suspected her of cheating. I I just thought that there was something wrong with me. I started to take that sentiment to heart and I was feeling really depressed about it.

I had never been the type of person to open up about my feelings, so I didn't know how to ask her about it. One night my wife was exhausted, so I told her to go hop in a bubble bath and I would put our daughter to bed. I went about my end of the bargain and I read my daughter a story before tucking her in and when she was asleep I made my way out to just go channel surfing until I was ready for bed. As I was walking by the bathroom, I heard my wife moaning inside. Honestly, what she did in the bathroom was her own business, so I wasn't immediately suspicious that something else was going on. I just figured she was enjoying herself. The following day my wife and I were in the backyard playing with our daughter.

We were all sitting on the porch and my wife had to jump up to throw some clothes in the dryer. She left her phone behind, but I didn't think about going through it at the time. I actually found the evidence on it by accident when I grabbed it to take a picture of our daughter while she was doing something cute. It was something I had done dozens of times in the past. It was just the closest phone to me. I noticed from the thumbnail in the corner of the camera that the most recent picture taken was of my wife while she was in the bath. I was curious, so I clicked on it really quickly and saw that it was a video. I immediately closed it and pretended like I didn't see anything while I was out outside.

side with my daughter. But I couldn't stop thinking about why my wife would have had that video on her phone. It certainly wasn't something that she sent to me so it didn't make sense why she would have it. Later that night while everybody was asleep I got up to go to the bathroom and decided I wanted to investigate the matter more. I grabbed her phone and looked through it for more information about why she took that video. I was curious if she had sent it to anyone. As I looked, I felt my entire world being ripped out from under my feet. She had sent the video to someone. She sent it to her new stepfather. I read through their text message exchanges and I noticed that there have been several times he requested pictures and videos from her. Their entire affair began when her stepfather texted

her for very inappropriate advice on what kind of lingerie he should surprise her mother with. My wife first replied saying that she had no idea, then he asked her what she would wear. From there the messages all turned sexual and she sent him several pictures of her wearing lingerie that I bought for her. They exchanged countless pictures of each other naked and from what I could tell, they had met up for sex at least once. The night my wife spent at the spa. She invited him over and they spent the entire night together. I felt sick to my stomach learning about that. It was the ultimate breach of my trust and I didn't know how I was going to move forward. My wife was the love of my life and she took my heart and crushed it. We had a family together and she was throwing it all away.

What turned myself pity into absolute anger was when I remembered her coming home from the spa and telling me about everything that happened. The massages and everything were things that her stepfather had given her and she told me about them by covering up the true nature of it all. I took countless screenshots and sent myself an email with everything. I would be using all of that in our impending divorce. Before I gave her the papers, I knew right away that I wanted to get back at her in some way. They both needed to face the consequences of what they did. Some time had passed and I was still trying to figure out how I wanted to go about ending my marriage. My mother-in-law actually contacted us and told me that she was going to be throwing a party

for the entire family to officially celebrate her marriage. It was going to be kind of like an unofficial wedding reception. I figured it would be the perfect time to expose both of them. The day of the party came and once everybody was gathered around the table for dinner I stood up to give a toast. I started by telling the man that he had been welcomed into all of our lives with open arms and everybody thought he would be great for my mother-in-law. Then I told him that we were all wrong. Everybody was confused, but I explained that I knew he had been sending inappropriate things to my wife and that they had slept together. They both tried to lie right in front of everyone and say that it wasn't true, but I had receipts. There was no denying what I saw.

At the end of it, I handed my wife the divorce papers that I had filed days before and told her that I wanted her out of our house. My mother-in-law was absolutely heartbroken, more so from the betrayal of her daughter sleeping with the man she loved than anything. My wife chased after me when I walked away trying to convince me to have a conversation with her. I told her that she wasn't worth my time anymore and that she should try to talk to her mother who she stabbed in the back. A few days after all of that, my former mother-in-law reached out to me and told me that she was very sorry about everything that happened. She felt guilty for bringing that man into everyone's lives. Right away, I told her that it wasn't her fault. If they were both willing to cheat so

easily, it was bound to happen in the future. She told me that she was trying to find a way to forgive her daughter but didn't think that she could. My wife and I ended up getting divorced and I have the house in custody of our daughter. I still stay in touch with my former mother-in-law because I know how difficult it has all been for her and the last thing I wanted was for her to feel like she lost her granddaughter too. I hardly talked to my wife anymore aside from arrangements for custody changes and visits. My mother-in-law divorced her husband and was actually entitled to spousal support from him.

So it's nice knowing that he's giving her a good portion of his paychecks now.
