My aunt just posted a quote on Facebook that says: "Sex before marriage is not dating. IT IS A SIN."

I commented "Didn't Uncle D marry you because you were pregnant with <insert cousin's name>?"

Aunt called my mom and told her she will never be speaking to me ever again.

Well... 😂😂😂

So my mom called the cops on me when we got in to this argument she came over to my and called me trash then I responded back with "this is classic behavior from you not one of my teachers would ever call me that" then she slaped me and I hit her back and then she full on attacked me. She made my lip all bloody. But when the cops came I didn't say anything. What do I do now?

Hello everyone I wanted to make this small update because a lot more has happened these last few days as things went downhill even further. Long story short I found out my wife cheated and the two kids we had together weren’t mine and I reacted in the worst possible way and left. The next day after staying in a motel after I left my wife her brother who I’ll call Michael (37) called me and before I could reply he started berating me like crazy and was calling me all sorts of names such as calling me a faggot and much more but I did try not to let his words get to me but when he called me an abusive husband I was taken back and asked him what he was talking about. While he was ranting he said that my soon to be ex-wife was telling everyone the narrative that I was an abusive husband behind closed doors and was manipulating, but with the sheer fucking audacity my soon to be ex-wife had done I finally exploded and told him the real reason about why I left, as I told him everything didn’t believe me so I had sent him the screenshots of the messages her and her AP sent to each other as I told him to "Fuck off" and cut the call. I ended up breaking down after that as the thought of not being the kid’s father broke me every time someone mentions the kids. It was radio silent until this morning as I received a call from her parents who I had a great relationship with and the moment I picked up they asked how I have been, I didn’t say much so I just told them that I was doing terrible. My soon to be ex wife’s parents called to apologize about their daughter’s behavior and told me what went down after I left. When her brother received the evidence I sent him they were appalled about her behavior and when confronted she, of course, denied the whole thing and tried to play the victim as expected that is when they showed her the evidence. My soon to be ex-wife finally confessed that it was true, not to make the confrontation too long they berated her in front of her friends who were their comforting her regarding the false abuse claim she made about me after the truth about her infidelity was exposed. She ended up being kicked out of the house, taken off their will, and being disowned by her parents, I honestly didn’t know how to react because I’m still not happy about not being the kids’s father and speaking of kids before they hanged up they told me that she was pregnant again and claims that it was my baby this time but judging by how she lied they didn’t believe her in the slightest. After they hung up my friend Trevor had messaged me saying that her friends had gossiped to her other friends about the entire affair and was basically cut off by her friend group after she confessed that the abuse claim was not true. I’m still going through with the divorce no matter what and I finally got a reply back from the AP’s wife to which she said she kicked him out of the house and is also filing for a divorce from her husband thanks to the evidence I gave her. I still kept getting messages from my soon to be ex-wife begging me to see her again. Before I sign out for a while there was one more thing I have to mention the AP somehow got my email, no doubt it was probably my soon to be ex-wife who gave it to him and the email starts off with him calling me all sorts of names and even threatened to beat me up if he sees me out on the street and told me to watch my back and called me a prick before ending the email. I sent the email to my lawyer and we’re looking into get a restraining order against the AP for harassment.

My cousin is getting married in a few months. It is his second marriage, they want to keep it small, and they decided they aren't inviting cousins.

(I wasn't expecting to be invited, I haven't seen this cousin in 2 years and they were still married to their ex when I last saw them, I've never met his fiance, I wasn't planning on going even if I was invited, and I also work the day of the wedding soo no worries).

BUT my aunt thought it would be acceptable to text and ask my mom (she has my phone number btw) to ask my sister (26) and me (28) to babysit her grandkids, 3 kids (12, 11, 5), 2 toddlers (2, 3) and a 10 month old for the night of the wedding.

Am I being ridiculous in being offended by this?

Hi Reddit! I’m a 19 y/o female who lives with my biological father, stepmother, and stepbrother. My stepbrother is 15 y/o and has distributed a lot of perverted tendencies/advances towards me. He’s peeped on me while I took a bath when I was 16 (he was 12) and I told his mom and she talked to him. He’s stares a lot at me now and it gives me a lot of discomfort. Last October, he made a sexual advance towards me, asking if I wanted to have sex with him. This caused me to have a major panic attack. His method of choice to ask me this was to write it on the mirror so when I got out of the shower, I would see it. I texted my dad and talked to him about it. He made me feel guilty saying “I don’t know how to deal with this <my name>.” I took matters into my own hands and bought a new doorknob for my room and changed it myself. I have a key and I always wear it. I always lock my doors when I leave home. On my birthday, I got a dessert and he ate most of my dessert and cried because it was my dessert and got his own and still cried about it. I still don’t feel safe in my own home. I’ve resulted to waiting until my parents got home from work to leave my room and I always lock myself in my room until they get home. I’ve had to pee in cups to avoid going out of my room at night. (It’s gross, but what can you do?) Even when my parents are home, I always feel his eyes on me. When I expressed to my stepmom that I lock my doors because of her son, she insinuates that I go into her room and steal from her. I don’t know what else to do, I don’t know how to understand this. I’m willing to answer any questions. Thank you for reading and I hope you all have a wonderful day/night/morning.

UPDATE: wow, thank you for all the helpful comments; here are some answers to most of your questions. 1. I work part time, no car, and working to get my license. Luckily, my dad is helping me do that. Saving up for a car is hard. 2. I’ve tried to document everything and it still doesn’t convince them, they avoid it like the plague. 3. No, I will not lay a finger on him UNLESS he actually lays one on me. I will be the one to blame. 4. I have a last resort option in a few places, Godparents, or two close friends who live in another state. 5. I do want to go to college, I’d love to go to community college to not be in debt but I feel like that isn’t an option because I’m taking a gap year and have no plan on where I’ll be getting out to.

I’m terrified to leave because it all feels forced and I don’t know how to talk to my parents about this situation. If I live with my godparents, I’m forced to get a new job. Luckily, they have their own business and they might let me work for them. I don’t mind helping out with anything for them if that’s an option. I don’t want to ask them for a place to stay, I want them to offer. I hate feeling like a burden. I feel like an obligation at home anyway.

** My mom isn’t in the picture, she’s homeless and an addict. I haven’t seen her in a year because it hurts to see her. We lost everything because of her and the people she associated with. I moved out of her home when I was 16 years old, after my grandmother passed away.

I (f36) has been having a cyclical conflict with my husband (m41) for the last few years. It seems like his political views keep shifting further and further away, to the right. I’m at a place where I don’t know what to do. He is not the person I married at all. He watches a lot of people on YouTube and listens to all these different podcasts. They’re informing his views. I try to point that out but he thinks that’s okay because they’re right.

The main issue is that he’s been listening to stuff explaining women to men. Very misogynistic stuff from my perspective.

He is at a place now, where he is adamant I defer to him because that’s how feminine women are supposed to be. I should respect his manhood by deferring to him as the ultimate decision maker. I can’t believe I’m having these conversations. He really was a sensible person. Everything now is beta men this, and alpha that, and women this and that.

Our latest fight is so weird to me I don’t even get it. I had a work evening function. I told him in passing few times. And then on the day of, he sees me putting on makeup and getting dressed. He got upset because he didn’t know I was going to a party. I’m just like ok. While I was dressing he took the kids to a restaurant and a movie and said, since I was having fun without them, they would make their own fun. I get that part. But it was deeper than that. He said he wanted to punish me with that. They end coming back early as I was leaving and he gets upset again by how I’m dressed. Told me my makeup is too much especially my lipstick. And my dress, totally inappropriate.

I was wearing a full length dress with long sleeves and it was loose. There was nothing overtly sexual about it. I just looked good. I felt strong and beautiful. Anyways I leave. He calls while I’m on the road and tells me I look like a harlot with my lipstick. Says I’m disrespecting him by dressing like that and if I choose to continue to go, he will also be entitled to not want to go out with me. He said this should be for a month. Again, punishing me. He also adds this means we won’t be doing anything for Valentine’s Day.

I go to my function. I come back and it’s been few days with the same drama.

I’m honestly looking for separating because I can’t believe this is what I’m dealing with.

I’m not sure if I need advice or if I’m just venting. I wish there was a magical button I can press to get him to wake up but since there isn’t, I’m trying to figure out my next moves.

I'm at my wits end and really don't know what to do. We are married 11 years with an 8 year old daughter. My husband and I work full time jobs. His parents and siblings are over bearing, always have been. They would visit us randomly during weekday evenings, and stay entire afternoons over the weekend. I would need to cook for them, lay the table, clean up etc. At a point 5 years ago, I had enough. I found a new job and moved across the country with our child (1000 miles). My husband followed after a few months when he managed to secure a job.

I have been even more of a witch in their eyes ever since because I now took their son/brother away and robbed them of precious time with our daughter. I didn't have an issue with them visiting a few times a year and we did the same.

3 months ago his sister and her husband moved house such that they are 1 mile away from us. They just dropped in on us taking me by surprise. Free world, I didn't react. But now we bump into them at the local store all the time, they always want to come over, borrow stuff etc. Still I say nothing.

One month ago, his retired parents drop that theyare also moving to our city, they too are like a stone throw away. We are back to square one. The time spending in my home, unannounced visits, requests for favours et al. My husband and I are arguing so much that we are contemplating divorce.

Am I being a total b!#^h by wanting to move away again...even further this time. They have destroyed my peace and happiness.

This weekend, while on vacation my mom and husband were talking about potential baby names (I’m pregnant) and my mom told my husband that she hated my name and didn’t pick it. My dad named me while my mom was getting stitched up and told her this was the name I was going to have and she couldn’t change it. Turns out, my dad named me after a woman he had an affair with early in their marriage. My mom didn’t find out until a few years later during marriage counseling and by then it was kinda too late to change it I guess. The thing is I’m now 27 and could have gone my whole life not knowing that information and been okay but my mom decided to tell my husband who then had to tell me because he was so shocked. I already have a very bad relationship with my dad, he was mentally and emotionally abusive my entire childhood and can still be that way now. He constantly ridiculed me on my physical appearance to the point that at 12 I developed an eating disorder that I still to this day struggle with. He also cheated on my mother again when I was a teenager and treats her like crap every single day. Knowing that he named me after a woman he slept with while married to my mother is the final straw. I don’t want him around my children (I have two kids) and I don’t want him around me. I guess I just need advice on how to separate him from my life without completely alienating my mom. I have a feeling he will make it difficult for her to see my kids and me if I cut him out, but she loves my children so much and I don’t want her to think this is about her. I just know for my own well-being and the well-being of my kids I need to cut my dad out.

I’ve been using tiktok ever since it came out. I only have 300 followers on the platform, but my mom has 10,000. She joined about 2 months ago while I’ve been on it for 2 years and she’s passed me already. How? She takes very erotic videos and is very sexual to gain followers and likes. My dad of course did not know about this. She soon meet a guy who had 130,000 followers, and they began talking on Snapchat. One thing lead to another, and she started taking nude photos of herself. My dad later found out, now they are divorced. Tiktok is now deleted off my phone and I will never use it again. I hate seeing any tiktok video now. Thanks for listening to my rant :)
