Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome to R-slash Best of Redditor updates, where O.P.'s brother-in-law might be attracted to O.P.'s 13-year-old daughter. Our next Reddit post comes from R-slash drew off my chest. My sister's husband and I dated for about a year when I broke things off because I wasn't in love with him. He did not take it well. The reason I didn't love him was because I felt that he wasn't what he seemed to be. Everyone was shocked that I refused such a great guy, and I really couldn't say anything because on the outside, he was perfectly in love with me and cherished me. So I stayed silent because I couldn't
Starting point is 00:00:34 talk badly about him when it's just my gut feeling. When he started dating my younger sister, I felt like my gut feeling was right, because why not just start over with another family? When I expressed my feelings to my sister, she got defensive and I didn't blame her because he's just a perfect gentleman. When he proposed to her, I was very desperate and bluntly asked her how he was in bed, and she was very upset and called me disrespectful and disgusting. I felt so ashamed that I literally ran away in tears. All my gut feelings started when he grabbed my neck when we were intimate one day. I pushed away his hand. Next time, he squeezed a little bit before letting go, and since then, I saw him in a different light and I ended the relationship. But for me,
Starting point is 00:01:20 it gave me a stomach ache that the idea of him touching me made me want to faint. Anyway, I didn't handle it well when I tried to ask my sister. She just thought that I was perverse and that they're very compatible. My daughter is 13 and was never together with her father because he lives abroad. I have a very cordial relationship with my brother-in-law. I'm close with my sister. My sister mentioned how her husband thought that my daughter looked a lot like me when she was five, and everyone thought that was endearing. For me, it just made me feel sick. Then, once again, he said it last summer on her birthday. I can't put into words how I felt. I don't. I can't put into words how I felt, because what if they're completely baseless and I'm just being a moron?
Starting point is 00:02:00 I'm fully aware that this could all be in my head. Now, for about three years, my sister and brother-in-law have invited all the cousins to their cottage to ski every winter. And I've refused to send my daughter because the idea terrifies me. I don't know what I'm scared of, but it becomes dark whenever I think about the way he's very calm and cordial when talking to me. But like, sometimes I see something dark in his eyes when he thinks I'm not looking. and to make such comments about my daughter that are more than normal, but for me, coming from him, makes me want to cry. Also, Opie says that for context, her daughter is upset with her that she isn't allowing her daughter to go spend time in the cottage. Then, four days later, Opie posted an update.
Starting point is 00:02:42 My daughter is still a bit down, but she understands that I'm worried about her and that I'm not doing this out of malice. She also knows that I tried my best to get the week off without success. She made me promise to do something for her and her cousin soon and to prepare better next year to be able to take vacation days to follow her. My brother was over for dinner and it seems like he understood where I was coming from. I was very honest with him about not trusting my brother-in-law. I asked him what the talk was in the family and he said the brother-in-law was livid saying, who does she think she is? Does she think her daughter is better than us? And the rest of the family echoing his sentiment. He asked me if the brother-in-law was the reason, and I said yes. He just nodded like he knew. I asked him how her sister was.
Starting point is 00:03:29 She never confides in me anymore, and he said that he isn't surprised. Her husband is very strict with her and the children, but he said that there's no abuse, not physical anyway, and he shook his head. He told me that he was able to take Thursday and Friday off, and if I wanted, he could take my daughter to spend the last four days with her cousins under his supervision. I told him I'd think about it. I was very happy that he wanted to do this for me. I explained to him that I didn't trust my brother-in-law after he went after my little sister, and I have fear, maybe irrational, that he's going after my daughter now that she's nearing adulthood. He said that he understood. I actually started crying because I've never been able to talk about my feelings because I was scared to lose my family.
Starting point is 00:04:12 He said he never loved or trusted the brother-in-law for the same reasons, and that with time, he understood that his feelings were valid. I told him that I feel guilty not to have warned my sister about him, and he said that she wouldn't have listened anyways. Then he said that I warned her several times, and that's why she distanced herself and never confided in me again. He said that my brother-in-law convinced her I was jealous of her. They all know, he said, and I started crying even more.
Starting point is 00:04:41 Then I talked to my daughter and asked her about him. She said that she doesn't really like him because he's always angry and short-tempered. He has, however, told her that she's becoming as beautiful as her mother was, and that he used to be with me, so he's basically like her father if she wanted anything. He promised her a car when she graduated high school and asked her what kind of car she liked, and she said that she didn't like cars. He also told her that his nephews would probably find her very beautiful.
Starting point is 00:05:09 He has two teenage nephews. I kept my calm and asked her why she didn't tell me any of this. She looked confused and said, that's because she didn't want a car or to be friends with his nephews. I asked her if he ever hugged or kissed her or touched her and she said no. I told her she could talk to me about these things moving forward and she cheerfully agreed and apologized for forgetting to tell me because she already said no thank you. So that's my update. I am very devastated, but I don't want to scare my daughter. However, I never want to see my sister or her family again. And this time,
Starting point is 00:05:43 I don't care what my family says anymore. I find it quite troubling that he's offering the 13-year-old girl a car, but doesn't seem to be offering any of the other cousins a car. Wonder why that is. I also quickly realized that O.P. was speaking the truth when the brother was like, yeah, he totally creeps me out too. If two people get creeped out, then I'm like, okay, there's got to be something to this. Also, in the comments, Opie has this story to share, which I feel like she should have put this in the original post.
Starting point is 00:06:13 At my daughter's 13th birthday, he commented how she looks the spitting image of me, and that the father's jeans must have been weak. It was one of his jokes that everyone laughed at, but then he told me she has your eyes and looked straight at me while saying it. I looked away, but I still felt his smirk. When we dated, he used to say that he could come only by me looking at him because of my eyes. Yo, that's the most damning piece of evidence in this entire post. Our next Reddit post is from our slash relationship advice. I'm a 25-year-old guy, and my girlfriend is 25. We've been in a relationship for four years.
Starting point is 00:06:52 Before that, we were friends for more than two years, so I've known her for at least six years. We get along great, and we don't have many arguments or fights. Last Sunday, my girlfriend's friend, Susan, asked me to come to her place and told me that my girlfriend was there, and we could all just hang out. We were at the local deli, and Susan's apartment was just a block away, so I went with her. I got there, and I saw my girlfriend and her friends calling me a cheater. My girlfriend was crying.
Starting point is 00:07:19 Honestly, at that point, I didn't know what was going on. It was all very confusing. My girlfriend's other friend was saying that she should break up with me because I'm a cheater. After things calmed down a little, I told my girlfriend that Susan told me she would be here, so I don't understand what was going on. Apparently, Susan screwed up their plan. She wasn't supposed to tell me that my girlfriend would be there. I don't know why my girlfriend thinks that she has the right to be mad at me.
Starting point is 00:07:47 It should be me who's mad at her. She literally tried to set me up and failed. Her narrative now is that I shouldn't have gone home with another woman and what if Susan was lying? Susan is her best friend and she told me that my girlfriend was there. I had no reason to suspect that she was lying. Right now, she thinks that I would actually cheat on her if I got a good opportunity. Basically, she thinks that I would go to some random woman's house that I met.
Starting point is 00:08:15 How effing realistic. I don't think she realizes how stupid that sounds. I love her, and I don't want to dump her over this, but it is very stupid to set someone up to do something bad. I think I can get past her stupid test, but what's pissing me off is that she isn't talking to me and just says she knows that I have the potential to cheat with every passing day. I'm honestly getting tired of her.
Starting point is 00:08:39 What do you guys think? Well, my opinion on this is that like the test is pretty bad, right? Then emotionally getting, and then getting upset at OP when he didn't actually fail the test is pretty bad as well. For me, the deal breaker is the raw stupidity. You know, you ever watch a movie or like a show where the villain is supposed to be really smart, but their plan is really stupid? and it just takes you out of the show and you can't really enjoy it because you're like, this is so dumb. I don't know how I could respect a girl than that stupid.
Starting point is 00:09:09 Okay, let's see what happens. Four days later, OP posts an update. It was really difficult, but I broke up with her. The way she handled the situation at first gave me the impression that I was signing up for a lot more tests if I stay with her, so I ended things. Only after that, she apologized and promised to never do anything like this again, and said that this is something very minor which shouldn't cause a breakup. Part of me wanted to trust her and give it a go, but I don't want to be in a relationship where I'm not certain about it. As for her friend Susan, after this, I ran into her at the deli daily, and she confessed that she was not on board with her girlfriend's plan.
Starting point is 00:09:46 Thus, she partly messed up the plan without betraying her friends. I guess something's better than nothing, so I thanked her for it. It still weirds me out a little that I can't go to my girlfriend's best friend's home when invited, whom I've also known for a significant amount of time without being called a cheater. Personally, I don't know what was going through my ex's head. Susan told me that even though she wasn't on board with the plan, she was the one who brought up the YouTube video about testing partners to the group,
Starting point is 00:10:15 and the rest of the girlfriends decided it would be a good idea to test it on me, as my ex was the only one in a relationship at the time. According to her, it got out of hand from there, and she was tasked with baiting me at the deli. Yeah, this behavior might, be forgivable, maybe if O.P. was 15, and his girlfriend was 15. You expect these
Starting point is 00:10:36 kind of dumb, stupid, don't know how to date, don't know what love is, type of games from, you know, 15-year-old teenagers, but 25, give me a break. I'm out of there, man. I'd be gone. You did not make a mistake here, O.P. Our next Reddit post is from R. slash Am I the Butthole?
Starting point is 00:10:51 Am I the Butthole for telling my roommate to find a new place when he called me a pervert? My wife is my best friend. We game together, hiked together, play D&D with our friends once a week together, and we're expecting our first kids soon. Overall, I'm over the moon. Obviously, though, we spend a lot of time together, so I guess I could see how maybe my perspective is skewed on what's appropriate, so I'm posting here.
Starting point is 00:11:15 A few months ago, one of our mutual friends fell on hard times. His long-term partner kicked him out. He's been laid off almost a year at this point. He asked if he could stay in our guest room for a few weeks, and my wife and I agreed. A few weeks turned into a few months. No big deal, but we're getting a bit antsy to have our space back. We told him he needs to be out in two months, though, because we'd like a little baby moon before our child gets here. Since my wife and I got together, we've been a daily intimate kind of couple, also through pregnancy.
Starting point is 00:11:44 I know this is too much information, but I just want to explain this isn't some kind of fetish thing. We did it daily for years before pregnancy, and it's continued. I'll admit, I do find it very sexy that she's carrying our child, but I've always found her sexy. Well, last night, our friend tripped the shut off in his bathroom, and he came up to ask us how to get the lights back on. I guess he was right outside our door and listening to see if we were still awake and hurt us. This morning, he sat us down and said he was really uncomfortable to know that we were doing that while he's in the house. I pointed out to him that some days he doesn't leave the house at all, most days, if I'm being honest, so it's kind of inevitable. His room is also on a whole different floor.
Starting point is 00:12:28 He then said that for the next few months, he'll go on a walk once a week so that we can if we must. I told him that wouldn't work because it's a daily thing. He then got very upset and demanded to know if it's true that we'd done this every day for the three months he's been living here. And he said that with my wife's condition, he wouldn't have expected that and that I was a pervert. He then went on to say that we're both perverted for doing that while he's here and that we violated his consent. I told him to find a new place to stay then. He told some people about the exchange, and while most people have said he's being childish, others have also said me kicking him out two months earlier than we last said over it is extreme.
Starting point is 00:13:10 Am I the butthole? The next day, O.P. posted an update. My wife and I talked about it last night, and after reading some comments, we wondered if maybe he was triggered by something. Or as others mentioned, perhaps asexual or sex averse, and we do have some ace friends and didn't want to be dismissive or kick him while he was down if it's coming from that place. So we plan to have a mature conversation about it this morning and let him know that we expected an apology for the pervert comment and that he was not allowed to dictate our sex lives. But if he could deal with it and apologize, he could stay as a compromise one more month
Starting point is 00:13:44 instead of the agreed upon too. That did not end up happening. My wife and I came out of her room this morning and he was sitting in the upstairs living room. And the first thing out of his mouth was a very accusatory, You did it again last night, didn't you? My wife was over it at that point and told him she was sorry he felt uncomfortable, but that the situation and him are now making us uncomfortable. And so my invitation for him to leave from last night has now turned into a request
Starting point is 00:14:15 and expectation from her that he go. He's going to stay with another friend, and we haven't seen him since he went to go pack his room up. But he's made a point of loudly slamming his bags down whenever he brings one up the main hallway. So obviously he's quite pissed. My wife thinks that we should celebrate having our house back tonight with a petty romp in the spare room after we change the sheets to dispel the anti-sex energy. I agree. The way Opie's friend is acting is what you'd expect out of like a church mom, a church-going,
Starting point is 00:14:47 Christian, God-fearing mom, the way she treats her like, I don't know, 14-year-old daughter. But to live with a married couple and be shocked that the married couple are bumping uglies is downright stupid. That was our slash best of Redditor updates.
