Welcome to R-slash Best of Redditor updates, where an adult woman definitely wants to bang her brother. Our next Reddit post comes from R-slash, Am I the Butthole? Am I the butthole for accusing my sister-in-law of emotional incest and ruining Christmas? I'm a 24-year-old woman, and I've been with my husband, who's 26 for four years, married for two. Everything's great between his family and I, and I consider us all to be very close. Excluding my sister-in-law, who's 22. Not that I haven't tried to build a relationship with her, but I was warned by my husband the first time meeting her that she's very territorial of him, and she has definitely lived up to that. This territorial behavior has reared its head many times while we were dating.

Some examples would be asking my husband to sleep in bed with her on my first vacation with his family. After my father-in-law said that he got my husband and I a separate room, accusing me of being a gold digger, and grooming her brother. He's two years older than me, sitting on his lap during our rehearsal dinner. The list could literally go on and on. I do want to preface by saying, every time she steps out of line, my husband and my in-laws correct her. But when called out, she always blamed her bipolar disorder and her horrible actions were always forgiven. But after her behavior at our wedding two years ago, where she basically sobbed the entire day and pretended to faint during our first day. My husband had to have a talk with her and set some very firm boundaries.

Since that talk, she still calls and texts my husband daily, but has pretty much stayed away from me. And she's kept her outward dislike from me and public attention seeking to a minimum. That brings us to tonight. My in-laws always host a huge Christmas gathering the week before Christmas for all the family, including distant relatives. We always had a great time, and I've managed to stay cordial with my sister-in-law, despite the dirty look she was shooting me, but this year is different. Me and my husband announced that we're 10 weeks pregnant.

My sister-in-law threw a fit. She ran out of the room loudly sobbing and slammed her bedroom door. She left what was supposed to be a happy time, dead silent, with a few awkward congratulations. My mother-in-law rolled her eyes and went to follow her, but I stopped her and told her that I could go. I was hoping that this would finally be a time where we could actually have to be. a conversation and maybe I could get her to finally tell me after four years why she felt like I was such a threat. I was wrong. I knocked on the door and went in and she immediately screamed at me to get out, but I asked if we could talk. I honestly didn't even know what I was going to say to her, but I didn't

have to say anything because my husband and mother-in-law came in behind me. My husband very harshly asked her why she always had to ruin things to get attention. She asked him why he was so disgusting, which obviously left him confused. She then yelled, You F her! It's disgusting! My husband, being his usual snarky self, said, Yeah, sometimes multiple times a day. She's my wife. What's your point? My mother-in-law laughed, and that sent her into her rage. My sister-in-law started screaming and hitting my husband like a frickin' toddler.

By this point, I'd had enough. I can't even remember what all I said, only that the only thing that was disgusting was her emotionally incestuous fixation with her brother. And I asked if she wanted to screw him because it kind of seemed like she did. I realized I was screaming by the end of it. My sister-in-law just covered her head with a blanket and cried. My husband tried to uncover her, but my mother-in-law took my husband and I downstairs. When we got down there, pretty much everyone was leaving. And my father-in-law looked like he could punch someone.

So my husband and I left too. I cried pretty much all the way home, with my husband trying his hardest to assure me that I did nothing wrong. When we got home, he told me to sleep, and it went out to the garage while he called his parents. I feel bad because I truly do love my in-laws, and I don't want to ruin our relationship. Now, I'm lying here, questioning if I spoke out of turn, implying that it was more than just attention-seeking. I don't know where the update's going, but I'm on your side, O.P., this does sound like your sister-in-law wants to bang her brother. but we'll see where this goes. Then a few hours later, Opie posted an update.

My husband just got off the phone with his parents, and they're extremely mad at my sister-in-law. He asked me if I seriously thought that my sister-in-law wanted to screw him, and this all stemmed from jealousy. Apparently, my father-in-law has thought the same thing, since an incident happened last year where me and my mother-in-law were talking about lingerie,

and my sister-in-law locked herself upstairs for the rest of the night. But my father-in-law was trying to convince himself that he was wrong. I told my husband that I don't know if she necessarily has a physical attraction to him, but it's definitely jealousy. All four of them are going to sit down tomorrow to have a conversation. I'll update again. For now, all's good, and nobody thinks that I ruined Christmas, lull. Then the next day, Opie posted an update.

My mother-in-law called me and said she didn't feel comfortable with me coming this morning for my own safety. But she didn't want me to feel like they were hiding anything from me, so she's going to call me during the conversation. My husband's uncle is a psychiatrist and was there last night. He's going to be there. He was the one who suggested this intervention, so I guess he's going to mediate. He doesn't treat my sister-in-law, obviously, but he knows about her history. Even though the family's on my side, I think my mother-in-law and my husband think this is all some big misunderstanding. I think my father-in-law, on the other hand, has been paying closer attention for a while and doesn't have the same hope. My sister-in-law is apparently pretending nothing happened and is acting normal this morning.

Then another update. My mother-in-law called me as soon as my husband arrived. I muted myself and have no idea if my sister-in-law had been told that I was on the phone or not. I could hear them all sit down and my sister-in-law sighed dramatically, which caused my mother-in-law to tell her that this was serious and that her behavior was unacceptable and needed to be discussed. This is obviously not going to be the exact conversation, but it's as accurate as I can remember. This is ridiculous. I'm sorry I hit you, okay? The psychiatrist's uncle said, This is less about your physical assault and more about why you felt you were justified to hit him at all.

My father-in-law said, are you attracted to your brother? My husband was crying. Please tell me if I've ever done anything to make you think that we were more than than just siblings. My mother-in-law said, please, you can't really think she's attracted to him. Father-in-law, I do think that. And she obviously has a reason to believe it's okay to act on it, which is why we're here. Mother-in-law, we're here to try to help her with whatever she's going through, not make ridiculous claims. Husband, what did I do? Because I moved my bed into your room? I'm so sorry I was worried, you were young and I didn't see it like that. I tried to give you as much privacy as I could. I was just scared.

Sister-in-law. No, you didn't do anything like that. I just don't like O.P. Uncle. Why don't you like O.P.? Sister-in-law, I just don't. Uncle, that's not an answer. What don't you like about her? She was mean to me. Mother-in-law, that's a lie. Husband, you've never been alone with her other than for bridesmaid stuff, and you were acting this way before then. Sister-in-law, it doesn't matter what I say. You think she's Perfect.

Husband. She's my wife. Sister-in-law. So what? She's a whore. Husband. She was a virgin when we met. That doesn't make any sense.

Sister-in-law. So am I. Uncle. Why does it matter that she was a virgin? Then my sister-in-law starts scream crying. Father-in-law, I can't do this. You'll tell us what the hell is going on right now. My uncle tries to stop my father-in-law, I assume from standing up,

and I can hear my mother-in-law and husband both crying. Father-in-law, You'll be out of this house tonight if you don't explain yourself. Then there was a long silence. I heard my sister-in-law say something about being naked. And then the uncle said, When were you naked? The night in the bathroom when my brother found me.

My husband was obviously confused. What? I'm sorry, I didn't dress you before the paramedics came, but I was more worried about you dying. He then said something along the long. lines of he replayed that night over and over, and it never mattered once that she was naked, or stuck out to him. So as a quick aside, everyone, I'm kind of putting together from context clues that the sister-in-law tried to end her life, and when she did it, she was naked,

and O.P.'s husband found her naked. I think that's what's going on here. My sister-in-law starts sobbing again. Father-in-law, you were the one who decided to attempt naked? Uncle, why does it matter that you were naked? Sister-in-law, I chose to be naked. At this point, my father-in-law either threw something or slammed something and left the room. Mother-in-law, you wanted him to see you naked? Husband, I was an adult at the time, and it's disgusting, not to mention that you're my sister. Uncle, did you want your brother to see you naked?

Sister-in-law, I saw the pictures. Husband, what pictures? Sister-in-law, the picture she gave you at the wedding that they wanted me to give one to you. This is apparently some trend where each of the bridesmaids gives a boudoir picture to the husband during the reception. The sister-in-law apparently refused to do this, which is, you know, understandable. Mother-in-law, is that why you pulled the stunt at the wedding? Uncle, so what do you want to get out of this? Causing trouble in your brother's marriage?

Sister-in-law, I wanted him to come home. Uncle, and do what? Sister-in-law, I don't know. Uncle, yes, you do. My father-in-law came back into the room and asked my sister-in-law if the only reason why she tried to end her life was so that her brother could see her without her clothes on. My mother-in-law starts chanting, no, no, no, over and over. My husband asked, what'd you think was going to happen? I was just going to leave my wife and be with my baby sister. My mother-in-law said that she was going to be sick, and my sister-in-law was just crying.

Uncle, her silence is the answer. Nobody has a choice but to believe the accusation if she doesn't explain herself. She still didn't say anything. Father-in-law, you need help that we can't give you. Sister-in-law, I just need my brother. I started panicking at this point and had to hang up. My husband called me not even five minutes later and said that he was coming home, that nothing was said after I hung up.

He was sobbing and I have no idea what to say to him. He said he needed to go back on his meds and I agreed. He also said that we were moving. I didn't want to do that, but I don't know what else. to do. I have no idea what's happening with my sister-in-law, and my husband said he needed some time before he could talk any more about it. I've never seen him this upset over anything. And I know I shouldn't, but I feel responsible, not for marrying my husband, but maybe I did something to make her feel intentionally jealous. I know I probably shouldn't have been so honest about my lack of sexual experience,

but I was immature. I just don't know what to do now or how to fix it. Then a few hours later, Opie posted an update. My sister-in-law is going impatient. My husband called her a few hours later after he returned home to formally go no contact. And I think maybe to see if this was all some sick joke. She had a mental breakdown. Also, O.P. brings up a incident when apparently her husband was 18, and he, like, walked to the bathroom with morning wood, and his younger sister, who was 14, saw this and assumed the morning wood was because of her. Apparently, my sister-in-law brought this up the next morning at breakfast in front of her whole family. My husband was extremely embarrassed and hadn't even known that she was awake.

Of course, their parents explained that it was normal and to not spy on her teenage brother. This instance was apparently what started her undying love. She said some truly disgusting things that I will not repeat here. When my husband told her that this was all in her head and that he had never thought about her like that, she threatened to commit suicide again to make you love me again. Needless to say, the ambulance was called about an hour ago, and I couldn't imagine they wouldn't keep her there. My husband has switched from confusion to rage, but I believe anything he's feeling right now is valid. You guys, I was not prepared for this story.

The title was pretty wild, so I was expecting a pretty wild story, but this was a pretty wild story. way wilder than I thought it was going to be. The sister needs psychiatric help and honestly it's really kind of refreshing how normal and healthy everyone else reacted to the story where they're you know trying to approach it in a way that's seeking understanding and they obviously care for the sister-in-law but they're also horrified by by what's coming to light here. Our next Reddit post is from R slash Am I the Butthole. Am I the butthole for telling my girlfriend to go and ask to be adopted by the couple she's so obsessed with? My girlfriend Katie made a new friend a few months ago, Mary.

Katie talked about her a lot. Mary said this, did that, started teaching her something, etc. I thought it was a bit weird how much Katie seemed to look up to Mary, but I didn't think much of it until Mary's husband, Joe, entered the picture too. From then on, Katie talked about their relationship all the time. how they do things, how they divide the chores, how respectful they are to each other, basically how they're just the best couple ever. I've met them, and they're honestly nothing special, maybe a bit on the boring side even. Yesterday evening, Katie was once again going on about them,

saying things like Mary and Joe are true soulmates, and theirs is the healthiest relationship she'd ever seen, blah, blah, blah. I had a really effing long day at work, so I told me, I don't want to hear about them. I don't care about her creepy crush on this random couple, but if she likes them so much, she should go and ask them to adopt her or ask if they can be their third. Katie then gave me the cold shoulder and left to go home to her apartment instead of sleeping at my place like she was supposed to. I need to know if I'm right and her obsession is creepy or if I'm not seeing something right and I'm the butthole here. Am I the butthole? The general verdict is that O.P. is the butthole for being unnecessarily rude.

Then Opie posted an update. She finally texted me back. She wrote a long message saying that she had tried everything with me, and she thought that if she was patient and clear about her needs, I would eventually change for her. But she realized, thanks to Mary and Joe, that it's not her job to raise a man and get her boyfriend to respect her. She wrote a lot of other things about Mary too,

like that Mary is truly proud of her husband and looks up to him. Meanwhile, Katie can't find it in herself to look up to me in anything. and so on. So yeah, I hope you're all happy. You got what you wanted. Man, O.B., you sound like a jerk. Even after all that, you still didn't learn anything. That was our slash best of Redditor updates.
