This is intergalactic John, and this is alien Sam on
the International Okay Storytime podcast station.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
And we have some human stories coming up, not alien, but.

Speaker 1 (00:11):
Before we make a landing, stick around for this two
minute not alien ad break before we get to these
interstellar stories. Oh, my stepmother used a Bible to shame
me after I got engaged. Religion and shame go hand
in hand, hand in hand. By the way, this comes
from the r slash Okay Storytime subreddits No way Okay

(00:33):
Storytime of reginal This is one of our very owns.
So we got it. We gotta be in our a
game today. We gotta be in our a game. And
trigger warning homophobia in the story. So good day, y'all. Hey,
I'm Kyle twenty five mail and I've been married to
my amazing husband, Jeff twenty seven for two months now.
We live somewhere here in California. This story took place

(00:53):
a year and a half ago at a family reunion
which also doubled as a wedding anniversary celebration for one
of my uncles. It was at this event I announced
my engagement to my longtime boyfriend. By the cute right,
as long as you get the it was I thought
we were venturing into uh engaged at the wedding territory,
but seems like everyone's on oh yeah yeah. By the way,

(01:14):
this comes from kindly principle throughty seven and if you
want to submit your own stories, go to the r
slash Okay story times out right like what he did now.
My family is proudly Catholic, yet they have been accepting
of my identity as attracted to the same gender man.
My parents divorced five years ago and my father remarried
two years later. He's met Jeff multiple times and has
treated him well as he should. He even refers to

(01:35):
Jeff as his son in law and they often bond
over golf, NBA games, and other activities that I don't
usually share with my father, being a more feminine attracted
to the same gender man. My father has three other sons,
all married, and I'm the youngest. We weren't close growing
up as he was in the army and missed a
lot of our childhood. He's been trying to make up
for that in the recent years. My mother, who passed

(01:56):
away a year ago, always supported me and asked before
she passed away way that I let my father walk
me down the aisle one day. Uh oh, that's adorable.
My heart, my heart burns now. My brothers, Ages thirty,
thirty two, and thirty five are also in the military
military family over here, one of the Navy. Two in
the Army. They've always supported me and called me little princess.

(02:19):
Oh oh, bless if that's how you feel, supported hopefully, lovingly,
oh man. When I came out to them in high school,
they embraced me wholeheartedly, often joking that I was their
long lost princess trapped in a male body. I guess
that's cute. They defended me from bullies and never made
me feel less than We like that. We love w

(02:41):
In May of last year, Jeff proposed to me. He
asked for my father's blessing first, and then proposed our
house with a cake that read will you marry me?
Our shared memories played on the TV graduation trips, family reunions,
and both our parents witnessed the proposal, and I said, yes,
Oh cute and pure unadulterated cuteness. We love love on

(03:03):
this show, y'all. We love love. I asked my father
not to tell my brother's right away because I wanted
to share the news with them personally. At the time,
my third brother was stationed abroad and we didn't know
when he'd be back, so in July, during the family
reunion at my uncle's house, the moon was casual. My
uncle's teased Jeff and me, and while not everyone was
thrilled that I'm attracted to the same gender, like Uncle Ben,

(03:25):
a veteran who frequently says I'd be better off straight. Ooh,
I felt supported overall, all right, good gravy, Uncle Ben.
Uncle Ben often says, maybe it's a blessing you're attracted
to the same gender since our bloodline never had a girl.
When the sexism cancels out, the holophobia, wins, are you winning?

(03:48):
It's true no female cousins. One cousin once replied, at
least we have a princess, to which another joke our
princess should wear a dress. Most of it was lighthearted teasing,
and I didn't take offense. My aunt said little about
my identity, though one often muttern things like I'm lucky
none of my sons are defective. Oo oh that is

(04:10):
that's a little yucky. That's super yucky.

Speaker 2 (04:12):
It's a little yucky. I also wonder if you know,
all the family, the close family is saying the princess
stuff and like a good spirit, and then the extended
family is saying the princess stuff in.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
Bad yes, because like and you know, I think it
could obviously get dicey, but it seems like Opie feels
fully supported and you know, has the like defend the
brothers always defended him from bullies and you know, embraced
him in everything. But yeah, it's like once someone else
it's like, hey, you're an outsider. You don't get to
do that. This is this is our language because close

(04:42):
like that, our dinner came and I knew it was
time to announce the engagement. Nervous but encouraged by my
father raising his beer, I stood up and said, I'm
getting married. A beautiful moment, right.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
Beautiful moment that will not be ruined by any uh
daft uncles in the crowd.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
Nothing bad is gonna happen, nothing bad except for Uncle Ben.
Uncle Ben, no thought you were cool.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
We thought you were all about you know, with great
power becomes great responsibility. You know, there's maybe that's the
quote we're gonna get from Uncle Ben. You know, but
let's see what what?

Speaker 1 (05:21):
What? What does Uncle Ben have to say? Something different?
Uncle Ben equipped, oh, you found a girl. My cousin
quickly chimed in, he's the girl, referring to me as
the bride. Is that is that in good? Is that? Like? Okay?
I he's the girl. I cannot imagine. Also, I think

(05:41):
this is the cousin. Remember the brothers are the one
that had the princess nickname, right, this is I'm sorry,
I just cannot imagine. I cannot imagine. I have to
feel like OPI's like, I wonder how op he feels
about it.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
I feel I'm probably not great about Uncle Ben, but
I know like Opie has been okay with the princess
talk beforehand, so I'm curious how this sits with op.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
Yeah. Well, let's see. So my cousin's wife congratulated us warmly,
while Aunt Karen muttered, so you'll never get fixed for kids.
Shut that down with cheers. That's great, Okay, at least
there's people on ops side, didn't its Gracious Jeff was
prepared for some negativity as long as my father and
brother stood by us. But this drama centers all my
stepmother's reactions, not the extended family's comments. My sister in

(06:28):
law called her husband, the deployed brother, to tell the news. Later,
when we were in the living room playing games and
the kids were asleep, my step mother entered the room
and declared marriage should be honored by all, and the
marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulter
and all the spicy related immorality. Is that a Is

(06:48):
that a quote? I get? Probably? Dude, just off the
just homophobia off the dome. Dude, Dude, she shot that
crap on he lock. Didn't even need any need to
write it down. She just went for, please, don't write
that down. Don't write it down. Please. Unfortunately it had
to be just to share the story on Okay storytime.

(07:09):
The room went silent. My cousins asked what she meant.
Just Jeff asked what was that for? Clearly offended, my
cousin's wife identified the verse Hebrews thirteen to four. My
stepmother continued, claiming being attracted to the same gender is
a sin and that I'd burn if I married Jeff
in a church. Jeff calmly replied, calling her out by name,

(07:33):
seems like you're quoting at the wrong time. I had
no disagreement. She continued, quoting verses including husband's love your
wives as Christ loved the church, and eventually said man
must not lie with man. I could feel Jeff's discomfort,
and I froze, unsure of what my father would think
if I spoke out against his wife. But when she

(07:56):
opened her mouth again, I lost my temper. I threw
my adult soda ad her and said, may the Holy
water shower you with blessings. That's pretty funny. We don't
can do it. Pretty funny thing we don't know. That
is the most hilarious, do you know? Throwing throwing a
little it's just some some adult beverage, a little, a

(08:17):
little spressn It's funny, that's funny, funny. Cannot lie, She screamed,
called my father and declared, this is what happens when
you're attracted to the same gender. No respect or upbringing.
Where's your respect?

Speaker 2 (08:31):
You're literally yelling just terrible things at what should be
a happy moment.

Speaker 1 (08:36):
What happened to uh, love thy love thy neighbor and
maybe love thy son in law. One would think you
would want to maybe be nice to that.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
Let's give it him all that yeah, those lines don't matter.
Love your neighbors stuff.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
Yeah, that's that's not the quote. I'm trying to stupid.
I snapped back, telling her that she didn't raise me,
asking if she even counted his family, and remarking, you
can't even bear a child. Jeff and I left. Damn.
Yeah that was that was an exchange, right, there can
be boil boy. Later, I got text in a voicemail

(09:13):
from my cousins. My sister in law said, my father
and stepmother and stepmother fought after we left. Hopefully father
defending Opie and is his fiance. One brother called a
check on me. Uncle Ben texted, she's not wrong, but
she's wrong. At the same time, Uncle Ben, you need
to stop chiming in.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
Uncle Ben, is it just says the most unhelpful things.
You know what I think at the most unhelpful moments.

Speaker 1 (09:37):
I think, like you said earlier, he sees the brother's
rising and he thinks he's like in that same pocket
of like, oh, yeah, I rise you, but like I'm
like still like on your side when it's like no,
Uncle Ben, You're you're no.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
Yeah, uncle Like I feel like Uncle Ben is very bigoted,
but trying to like be on op side.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
Yes, and thinking he's like kind of in you know
what I mean. I don't know if Uncle Ben's quite in.
Let me read the full text. So this is a
full text. Uncle Ben sent she's not wrong, but she's wrong.
At the same time, the princess is standing up for himself.
Let me talk to your dad about his second divorce.
That made us laugh. Another uncle warned us to drive safely.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
Maybe Uncle Ben isabe isn't So I'm a little confused
by this familial dynamic.

Speaker 1 (10:22):
Yes, it's like it's like, wait, is that okay? Or
is that not okay? Yeah, I'm not sure. Bouncing bouncing
back and forth, I'm not sure. My brother's texted Jeff
instead of me, asking where we were before our wedding.
My father asked if i'd try to reconcile with my stepmother.
I agreed and met her at a cafe. She started
the conversation with you're ruining my marriage. I think you're

(10:43):
doing that yourself, buddy. Yeah, And also you're ruining my
marriage because uh, you suck. What are you doing? She
told me to cancel the wedding and marry a woman
if I wanted to be a part of their family.
I mean, no, you did. I don't want to. I
a how about how about now? How about how about

(11:06):
you respect me and my soon to be a husband
if you want to be a part of my family,
Like do the reverse on him, Like this is my dad,
my cousin, this is you are a step mom, And
I'm reading it between the lines. I think, like married
when Opie was an adult, Like she didn't raise him,
married in holy moly. After that, I texted everyone brother's father,

(11:29):
Jeff's parents, and our wedding organizer saying she was not
welcome at the wedding or rehearsal dinners. Fire. Yes, yes, absolutely,
she's gonna say this it during the wedding. Are you
kidding me? She's gonna She's gonna ruin the whole thing. Yeah.
I call my eldest brother, almost in tears and told
him everything. He spread the words to my family and
my father was furious. At the wedding, my father proudly

(11:50):
walks me down the aisle. A week later, we attended
a church service together with my husband and immediate family.
Stepmom included. She claimed she was walking on egg shells.

Speaker 2 (12:01):
When you're trampling like a unsheathed boceros and like, yeah,
you're you're you're probably going to realize that you're bumping
into things and breaking stuff. But it's because you're actually rampaging,
not because there's egg shells everywhere.

Speaker 1 (12:18):
Yeah, exactly. Honestly, it felt more like she was burning
in the holiness of the church. I joked. I was
surprised I wasn't burning myself. That's good. Hey, hey, I
guess they're still We're good and we're still cooking. Oh
my god. My brother asked if I felt hot. Jeff replied,
he is. Oh, I love their on on point. Got

(12:45):
to give it to him, really love that. Two months
into our marriage, our father and Jeff's parents bought us
a house as a surprise. Oh w surprised, my god.
My stepmother ruined the surprise by me not to accept
it because it was near a church.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
Dude, get I mean, but all right, just by her
own logic, wouldn't him being near a church be better
because maybe he would be infected with the Lord's holy graces?
I mean, or do you believe he's more powerful than
the church?

Speaker 1 (13:19):
Dude? Yeah? Come on, see, I thought God was powerful, man,
I thought God was all powerful. Even Jeff didn't know
about that one. I asked my brothers about it and
they told me the gift was from their combined savings
and my father's personal funds. Oh. Also, just really quick.
If I am in father's shoes and my wife, who's
not the mother of my child's, who I know married

(13:42):
later in life, keeps saying these things about my son,
I don't know if I can continue this relationship she
keeps doing it. She's clearly not changing herself or accepting
him or anything.

Speaker 2 (13:55):
I mean, if I was the father, I would be like, wait,
that's my son. I can't be talking like that.

Speaker 1 (14:01):
Yeah, what do you think, Sophia?

Speaker 3 (14:04):
I agree. I would not want to be in a
relationship with someone who did not support my family members,
especially like a child. Not that he's a child, but
like my yes, my hypothetical child, indeed.

Speaker 1 (14:15):
Your hypothetical adult child as the father of the family.

Speaker 3 (14:20):
In my hypothetical fatherhood, indeed my hypothetical adult child with
my hypothetical homophobic wife.

Speaker 1 (14:27):
There's an improv character for you. A lot to work
with us, A lot of there's hypothetical. My eldest brother
asked me to act surprised when the house was revealed,
I joked I might be an a hole for knowing
in advance. My second brother said, I didn't fight in
a war for my princess to rent an apartment. Dang it,
I love him. I lost. It's so good. His wife

(14:50):
laughed in the background. Oh and this little princess. He's
meaning a stepmom again this weekend. Stay tuned. I'm betting Jeff.
I'm adding Jeff's third leg. She won't have anything nice
to say about my marriage. Third leg. Dude, dang, the
pack is listen if I if I have to get

(15:10):
us out of here. Jeff's got a hawk, Jeff's got
a hog. You know, I think they're they're happy honeymooners.
I think, yeah, I think that's what's going on here. Dude,
we have an update. W family absolute W's well, I
guess some all the close family. The close family is fire.

(15:31):
Stepmom sucks. Question. Do we go to Dad and be
like yo, Not that I'm like trying to like control
your marriage or tell you to divorce like anything like that,
but like, Yo, your wife is bugging out. Your wife
is a whack. I feel like I would at a
point be like, yeah.

Speaker 2 (15:50):
I think it's you know, so out of out of sorts,
and it feels like actively trying to damage any relationship
that OP can have.

Speaker 1 (15:59):
So yeah, yeah, I think I would bring something up
here at this point. I think I probably would would
sit down and talk talk to daddy. Oh daddy, And
this is Uggs says, No, baby Carrot, Jeff shout out
to the story from a few episodes ago, Baby carrot.
All right, well we got an app day, ladies and gentlemen, hi, y'all,
and happy Mother's Day maybe recent, well except to a

(16:21):
certain someone. Hey, it's not Stepmother's Day, all right, only mothers.
That's right. This all goes back almost two years, but
I feel like the drama never ends. I'm writing this
late because me and my Jeff just got home. Sorry,
I couldn't figure out how to copy and paste the
link here. But here's the updated, y'all. When I announced
my engagement to my now husband at our family reunion,

(16:41):
my stepmother decided it was the perfect moment to read
us a Bible verse. You can guess the type. It
was clear she was disapproving of our relationship. Fast forward,
we didn't invite her to said wedding. That was a
mutual decision between me, my family, and Jeff's family. Since then,
we have tried to stay civil. Jeff and I agreed
at first, try kindness, but now she's over stepping again.

(17:02):
Now it's war. Now it's war. And for the record, yes,
I am keeping my husband's third leg. Booom, stand on
that third leg. Yep, stand on that third leg. Tripot
on that. It's very strong, it's very sturdy. Just this week,
she texted me out of nowhere telling me not to
accept the house that my father and brothers had secretly

(17:24):
been preparing for me as a surprise gift for me
and Jeff. They again, the family bought Ope and his
husband and the house is against house, amazing, absolutely love it.
Apparently she found out and tried to sabotage it. I
later confirmed with my brothers that this house is something
that they and my father have been working on for
over a year, and even Jeff's family chipped into it.

(17:45):
It was never meant to be a contest between families,
just a gesture of love. But clearly someone can't handle that,
and that someone is named step mom. Step mom, stop it,
stop doing that. That insult the injury. My stepmother claimed
my father was just using their point account to fund
the house. She showed me no proof. Then she questioned
whether I'm even my father's son.

Speaker 2 (18:07):
How is this not grounds for the dad being like,
all right, this this girl too crazy. Get She's literally
accusing the dad of stealing money from their joint account, right.

Speaker 1 (18:18):
And having an affair baby, having a fair baby, just yeah,
come on, and being insanely homophobic to his his songs.
They're not a limit there, where's the lot?

Speaker 2 (18:31):
Where's the I feel like we've crossed the line so
many times, and I do like that the dad is
being supportive of op, but not supportive enough. Like, at
a certain point, you can't just apologize for someone that
you're associated with a certain point you have to separate
from that person that you're associated.

Speaker 1 (18:52):
Yeah, and especially when you're married to them, especially when
you're married. That's a that's a co sign right there.
Then she questioned whether I'm my father's son, hinted that
my sister in law might be cheating because she's pregnant
with a girl. Our bloodline doesn't produce daughters. What who?
Who is this woman? And said there's no way a
attracted to the same gender child like me could be

(19:14):
related to her husband. He's too straight for you. Oh boy,
strike three question mark. She implied, I might turn my
young nephews attracted to the same gender by being around them,
as if queerness is something contagious. My goodness. For the record,
I am a feminine attracted to the same gender. Man, Yes,

(19:35):
but I dress appropriately around kids. My brothers support me
fully and have taught their kids that love and identity
aren't something to be ashamed of. Dude veterans teaching their kids.
I love that that love and identity isn't something to
be ashamed of. I'm here for it. Anyways, after that
awful talk, I told Jeff everything. My father later called

(19:58):
and asked if I fought with his wife again. Apparently
she told him. I said she's not allowed around my nephews.
I never said that. She's spinning stories to manipulate the situation,
and I'm done playing nice about it. Later, I called
my eldest brother. She's currently on military leave, and he
told me that even if I wanted to decline the house,
it's already a group gift. Jeff, why would you decline

(20:19):
the house though? Yeah? This is wait what I'm confused?
Meaning like even if he did, if you want to decline,
it could and like, Nope, we're giving you this house
and we love you and we're gonna do whatever goes
for you. Sorry, buddy, we love you and you're gonna
get this love. Noe have sanserbots, Jeff's parents, my sister
in law's everyone is involved, and honestly it means something

(20:40):
to them. Yeah, I mean that's like, it's like, hey,
this is this is a part of us. Yeah. I
won't let her ruin that. This woman has been undermining
me since day one. My uncles and father raised us
with strong family bonds. Even while deployed, my brothers and
I have maintained those values. We support each other, our partners,
and our kids. We show up. We were raised by
three wonderful moms and three great dads. Yes, our big

(21:03):
extended family and the community we've built is beautiful. Again,
that's the aunts and uncles and cousins. There not a
a what is it again? Polyque is poly cue a
lot of polycule Just for the record, So, no, I'm
not giving up the house. I'm not letting someone who
clearly dislikes me dictate my worth or my family's loved

(21:23):
hell yah Dan on business. By the way, if you
want to build up your self love and self worth, well,
I've got a great solution for you. What's that solution,
Johnny Bahami, Go to Spotify, Apple, iHeartRadio and search. Okay,
story time, you've got two thousand episodes of good advice given.
Go thwly to feel good and gross a person. It's

(21:46):
pretty good that we love it. But we also have
the end of the story.

Speaker 2 (21:51):
Oh boy, I I mean, I just want the dad
to like step up, please you want. I love that
everyone else's and I love the dad is doing something
but not enough. I want I want stepmom to be
kind of cut out the family.

Speaker 1 (22:04):
We need more, we need more going on over here.
So Uncle Ben, yes, I have an Uncle Ben even
suggested to Dad that maybe it's time for another divorce.
That is what I've been sagging. You know what, Uncle
Ben might have come around the corner.

Speaker 2 (22:22):
Uncle Ben came on. I love I like Uncle Ben.
He's grown up, Uncle Ben.

Speaker 1 (22:26):
You know Oh what a guy great with great uncle
powers comes great uncle responsibility, possibility. Not out of hate.
He wasn't suggesting a divorce out of hate, but out
of concern. He says, we don't owe her anything and
we shouldn't bend to someone who can't accept us. Very
true to everyone out there who's ever had to stand
up to a toxic step parent, relative or well meaning

(22:48):
closet guard in the family, You're not alone. Family should
be built on love, not control or shame. Amen. Brother,
Thanks for eating. We'll figure things out. Definitely not my
last update, but apparently if ever my father decided to
divorce this the Saints, I might write again, but this

(23:08):
is all for now. Thank you and guys again, like,
this is one of our very own Kyle Kyle from
the Kyle is in the r slash Okay storytime suburated.
This is one of our.

Speaker 2 (23:22):
Very own, So give some love to Kyle in the
suburb subreddit advice.

Speaker 1 (23:29):
Would love the update. Please send that through. Give a little,
you know, recap of what happened, and then dive into
it what happened next? We would we would love to
hear it. But if there's one thing that we can
do in this story, cut out step mom, cut out
step you don't deserve I feel like op is like
very like so understanding and forgiving that that you know,

(23:49):
it's like, okay, let let you know. No, I don't
want to say like let things slide, but you know,
was was so kind to maybe to the point of
his own detriment. It doesn't deserve that. No, he not.
Also does TLDR butt work or we were is that?

Speaker 3 (24:04):
I keep trying it but weren't.

Speaker 2 (24:06):
Wrep wanh want That's where that story ends. But howur
the episode ends? We got one more one or two more.
At least one more, at least one more story for you.
My sister demands my furniture as a thank you for
letting me live with them.

Speaker 1 (24:22):
Sit down, but not on no piece furniture.

Speaker 2 (24:24):
Twenty eight months ago, I moved into my sister and
brother in law's house. I was leaving a highly harmful
marriage that had turned life threateningly physical. I was leaving
a hospital stay and needed somewhere to go pronto. Out
of desperation, I moved in with them. I say out
of desperation because in any other situation I would have

(24:45):
chosen living in my car. They are so awful. By
the way, this comes from suspicient spite. And if you
want to submit your own stories, go to our slash
Okay storytime. So I wrote it so anyway, while I
was still in the hospital, we hashed out a bit
of the detail, which included the fall one bedroom to
use a shared bathroom with the kids. I furnished said

(25:07):
bedroom and pay for my own toilet, trees, food, et cetera.
And pay fourteen hundred dollars rent each month, pay half
the utilities roughly five hundred dollars a month. Street parking
not great, I know, I will reiterate. I was desperate,
and I agreed to move in. I had half a
house's worth of things, which included my bed, couch, dining
room table, and I furnished my bedroom. I paid for movers,

(25:30):
I bought toilet trees and food for myself. I was
told I could use the fridge in the garage for
all my perishable food. The first month there, they added
a few new things to my contract. So already, oh,
he's paying like close to two grand a month.

Speaker 1 (25:45):
I'm just curing, you know, maybe we'll get full context later.
I'm curious why we're not deploying this two k in
rent somewhere else, because that is a good chunk of
money to be able to rent something, even in like
a big city. Maybe their their credit isn't good. Ah,

(26:07):
it could be something like that, but.

Speaker 2 (26:09):
Maybe the first month there, first month in this new
place with terms that are already fit like a lot. Yes,
they added a few new things to my contract. Watch
the kids twice a month, okay, make dinner twice a week.

Speaker 1 (26:25):
Huh. No friends allowed over? Oh my god?

Speaker 2 (26:28):
Ever an eight pm curfew. I was thirty years old,
I was on a teenager or child. I disagreed to
the last two stipulations, but was told to pack my
things and get out when I said no, So I
wound up sticking to them as best I could. I
work in the medical field and have twenty four hour
shifts sometimes and also frequently work overtime. However, I'm usually

(26:50):
scheduled five am to five pm, five days a week,
so I don't have to cover a shift or have
mandatory overtime. Also, within the first month of living there,
I found that although I was invited by them to
move in, I wasn't actually welcome, which is kind of
what we're seeing in this contract, you know, like this
contract is even the first contract was a lot for

(27:12):
someone that you know, supposedly our family. Yes, but then
to add all of these like cooking and.

Speaker 1 (27:19):
Taking care of the bit. I'm sorry. No landlord in
their right mind is like, okay, so alo line on them.
You'll see how many times you need to babysit my toddler.

Speaker 2 (27:28):
Maybe give me five hundred bucks off front and then
maybe I do it.

Speaker 1 (27:31):
Maybe that, But it's like Ope is already paying a lot. Yeah. No,
this is a real little ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (27:37):
Well, although I was invited by them to move in,
I wasn't actually welcome. My brother in law is kind
of a whiny little kid and would go to my
sister and complain about things that I did not and
complain about things I did that he didn't like. Nothing serious,
mostly things like washing the dishes too loudly, parking too

(27:58):
close to the grass. Yes, my sister would come and
lecture me about being a good guest. A few other
things I want to state because I need to vent
so badly. My sister is a stay at home mom.
They have three kids and one on the way. Her
kids are in daycare from six am to seven pm
every day of the week since they were three months old.

(28:19):
My brother in law takes them in on his way
into work and picks them up after he has to
come home and has relaxed for a while. They usually
come home, eat dinner, take a bath, and go to bed.

Speaker 1 (28:31):
So she's not a stay at home mom.

Speaker 3 (28:33):
She just stays at home.

Speaker 2 (28:35):
Yeah, no, exactly, she stays at home. She's a stay
at home She's delegatedids. She's delegating. Yeah, she's delegating, outsourcing
her entire parenting. On Saturdays, twice a month, I watch
them all day while they are out doing random errands.
The other two Saturdays, their paternal grandparents watch them as
my parents love a state away. Sunday is the only

(28:57):
day they actually watched them.

Speaker 1 (29:00):
Dude, and they're and they're still trying to get ope
to watch them, already paying to the thousand. They have
completely just shucked their kids away. Dude, crazy.

Speaker 2 (29:12):
I'm not saying stay at home parents are useless or anything,
but if you aren't doing anything all day but browsing Amazon,
Facebook and Instagram while someone else cares for your children,
don't call yourself a stay at home parent.

Speaker 1 (29:25):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (29:25):
She does clean, make breakfast and give them babs, but
that is it. They both claim they have financial issues,
but eat out almost every meal.

Speaker 3 (29:35):
She serves the same function as a we spa.

Speaker 1 (29:39):
She just cleans. Oh yeah, yeah, she just run. She
runs a spa for her children. Yeah for two hours.

Speaker 2 (29:46):
Yeah, by the ways, we spas twenty four hours.

Speaker 1 (29:50):
Oh no, she's a strict strict on. She's a one
hour spa. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (29:55):
Usually the two dinners I make weekly are the only
homemade meal, as breakfast is usually something frozen tossed in
the toaster. They eat out way more than people with
financial issues should. They have four vehicles too, mini vans,
an suv, and a sports car exclusively for my brother
in law. They have a three car garage and a
huge driveway. But I'm not allowed to park in the driveway.

(30:18):
I have to park on the street a foot from
the curb, away from the driveway, mailbox, storm drain and flowerbeds.
I park almost in front of their neighbor's house. I'm sorry,
I'm getting off track.

Speaker 1 (30:31):
I don't blame you. I would be I would be
I would be piste. Wow, Oh my goodness, worst outup ever. Anyway,
About a year ago.

Speaker 2 (30:39):
My sister and brother in law came to me and
asked if they could use my dining room table because
theirs was gouge and had to be repaired. I agreed,
better than just sitting in a storage unit, I thought.
While we were getting the table, they saw my couch
and asked if they could use that in their living
room because it was bigger. I agreed as well, I
see you, but I see you in the chat. You
know where the scar we go. And as frustrating as

(31:00):
it was living with these clowns, I wasn't rushing to leave.
I was saving up money, paying off student loans, and
getting my divorce finalized.

Speaker 1 (31:07):
Well.

Speaker 2 (31:07):
In August of twenty nineteen, everything blew up. I first
learned that their mortgage payment was twenty one hundred a month.

Speaker 1 (31:17):
Op is paying their mortgage. Honeybe eighty five says she
doesn't have kids. Yes, tom agotcha.

Speaker 2 (31:22):
That's so funny, that's amazing, that's so funny. I was
told I was paying half the mortgage. When I confronted
them about this, I was somehow blamed for the expenses
they have for the kids. They attempted to guilt trip
me into continuing to pay fourteen hundred dollars for a
single room. I told them I agreed to half, so
I would pay half next month. They threw a fit

(31:44):
and said they needed me to pay fourteen hundred dollars,
otherwise they would lose the house. I wrote them a
check the following month for ten fifty. I also asked
to see the utility bills before I paid. They became
angry and refuse. Yeah, they're definitely five hundred dollars for utilities.

Speaker 1 (32:02):
Seems like a lot.

Speaker 2 (32:03):
That's crazy, they said. I would steal their information and
take advantage to them. I feel like someone else's they
can advantage someone else. I pointed out that in our relationship,
they're the only ones known for taking advantage of the other.
They are very reluctant to show me the utility bills
for the previous month. I paid for all of them,
even though I was told I was only paying half.

(32:23):
I was told they were built monthly for trash and water,
when they were actually built bi monthly. After all of this,
I began looking for a new place and realized that
I could afford a house on my own. I worked
for the realtor and found a nice three bed, two
bath in a great neighborhood closer to my work. I
closed on the house the second week of December and
moved in a couple of weeks. I just don't understand

(32:44):
how OPI didn't see that solution earlier.

Speaker 1 (32:47):
Yeah, I don't want to hate and we we haven't
gotten the reason yet, And I'm like, why would we
like three bedroom open now has three bedrooms themselves closer
to work.

Speaker 2 (32:57):
It's it's not like, you know, you know, fourteen hundred
dollars is a decent deal, but it's not like amazing.
It's like maybe a good deal for somewhere like Santa Monica, yeah,
but for you know, like other places like.

Speaker 1 (33:12):
Yeah, I know people who rent, like rent whole houses
for two grand. Yeah, in Florida. Yeah, for sure. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (33:19):
I feel I feel like you could easily like find
something that, yeah, that would work. But I told my
sister and brother in law when I made an offer
and then again when I closed, that I was moving out,
and they've asked me to leave my bed, dining room table,
and couch for them. I told them no, but they
are insisting that I should do it.

Speaker 1 (33:35):
As a thank you.

Speaker 2 (33:36):
I mentioned the fact that they have been taking money
from me left and right, and that not taking them
to court was my thank you, but they are still insisting.
They are also expecting me to still watch their kids
twice a month. Crazy, dude. I love my niece and
nephews to death, despite their parents basically ditching them every day.
They're very sweet, playful, and smart kids, but I want
to stay far away from their parents as possible for

(33:58):
a good long while. Well, I'm off to work today
visiting my friend, and I got a text from my
sister asking if I was going to pay rent for February.
I told her I would be gone by then, so
absolutely not good. She asked again if I would leave
by furniture. I said no, and she told me they
had sold their couch and table and didn't have the
money to buy new ones.

Speaker 1 (34:19):
Then I see one of your five thousand cars. Yeah yes,
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 2 (34:24):
Then I saw a post on Facebook from a day
ago where my sister announced they were going to Disney
World for the second time in six months.

Speaker 1 (34:33):
Is so expensive? So expensive? Oh? These people give me
a migraine. And the comments of this post, get this,
this is crazy. Here we go.

Speaker 2 (34:42):
She jokes to a friend who asked how they can
afford this all, and she said all she needs is
a stupid roommate with money to burn.

Speaker 1 (34:53):
Oh my god. Yeah, I wow. I want to see
you now. Wow. That, Oh, it's crazy.

Speaker 2 (35:03):
Then when the same friend asks if I'm her sister,
she says she's very slow, she has no idea how
much things cost. She'll pay anything. I screenshoted this, send
it to her. It says she's read the text, but
she hasn't responded. However, she's posted a cryptic update a
few minutes later that says Sam here og host. We're
going to get back to these stories, but here's three

(35:23):
minutes fads from our sponsors. First, everyone who knows me
knows that family is very important to me. I bend
over backwards to make their life more enrich and easier.
I basically gave them their success. I pulled them away
from death, jumped in front of bullets for them, and
shielded them from the harsh real world. And they show
no gratitude. Don't let people into your life who are

(35:46):
just going to use you and throw your failures in
your face. It's unfortunate that some of these people are blood.
After years of caring for you and placing you on
a pedestal, I'm done.

Speaker 1 (35:58):
You broke me. Crime a river, Cry me a freaking river? Like?
What is this.

Speaker 2 (36:02):
Cryptic thing like? Where she's the victim for making fun
of OP.

Speaker 1 (36:09):
It's like that because that because that message was coming
from the sister. Yeah. Yeah, So it's like it's it's
just a classic case of like they're trying to as
soon as they can't manipulate and like get all these
things from you, they're gonna try to They're gonna create
some story to become a victim and.

Speaker 2 (36:26):
Yeah, blah blah blah blah blah. I need advice on
how to handle this because I am very emotional right now.
I would love to do a giant expose on them
and tag all their friends and family, showing how fake
and greedy they are, as they both make themselves look
extremely different on their social media profiles. But I know
I need to be an adult. Is there any way
I can destroy them without being petty and childish? Also,

(36:48):
to state for reference, they ate my food regularly and
shopped my groceries like it was theirs. They also used
my toiletries and took things like my pillows and blankets
from my room. Also, I rode with them to a
movie one single time, a ten minute drive from their house,
and they wanted me to pay for a tank of
gas as well as snacks for them and their kids.

(37:08):
The movies, I paid for my own ticket, they insisted
I ride with them. They also asked for my tax
turn last year. I never got a clear answer why.
It was hardly anything, but they asked for it. I
didn't give it to them. Also, I received no assistance
from them besides them allowing me to stay at the house.
Literally nothing else. By the way, if you want assistance
from us, you should listen to full episodes of stories

(37:29):
just like this. Go to Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or your
favorite podcast app and search. Okay, storytime, there's another relevant update.
But man, are these people taking advantage of OPI to.

Speaker 1 (37:39):
The billionth degree. Yeah, and I'm glad at least Opie's
out of it and like or getting out of it.

Speaker 2 (37:45):
I don't know, getting Yeah, it feels like there's still
drama there, but at least yeah, getting out of the house.

Speaker 1 (37:50):
Yes, that's that's important. That's important. Should OPI do anything
with all this? I yeah, I mean try to like
Sue or something, you know, big picture, you know, the
best revenge is just like living a happy life and
getting and enjoying your three bedroom, two bath house closer
to with your in your shorter commute, and like all
all of these things having friends over, like do I

(38:13):
would go crazy on all of the rules they said
you couldn't do, agreed, I mean honestly, especially depending on
the financial situation, you know, On one hand, I'm tempted
to just be like, just drop it and move on
with your life. On the other hand, I'm like, how
much money was this? To ope? It seems like if
the the tax return wasn't that much, that's a lot

(38:35):
really meaning that's a lot, yeah, and thousands of dollars potentially. Yeah.
So and also it would kind of like be a
two fer of like, you know, one getting back thousands
of dollars, which you would you know, need, and two
kind of like you know, showing them like, hey, they
can't get away with it. You can't like get because
they're gonna keep doing that to other people. Do so
maybe maybe look into it, see what that process looks like.

Speaker 2 (38:57):
Well, we got a little bit more so edits regarding
the furniture. What if I buy a brand new couch
and table for them? Our thinking is this, it will
solve the furniture problem and make me look like a saint.
This coming Sunday, they're going to an event at the recplex.
I'll have the couch and table moved out and the
new ones moved in. I'll take pictures of them and
post them on Facebook, tagging my sister and brother in
law and post something like this, thank you for letting

(39:19):
me stay at your house. Now let me help you
as you help me. I know you're struggling financially, so
I bought you a new table and couch to replace
my table and couch. When I take them with me,
I hope this table and couch fully reflect how grateful
I am that you allowed me to stay in your
home while I recuperated, or something like that.

Speaker 1 (39:36):
Forgive me. I am not a writer thoughts. So wait,
he's buying them a new what I don't get that.

Speaker 2 (39:44):
That doesn't make sense to me. Yeah, I don't think.
And also it feels like maybe there's like some like
you know, petty revenge or something there.

Speaker 1 (39:51):
I don't. I don't know if it's worth it. Yeah,
I think probably the best thing is just move on
and get out. Yeah, in always living that contacted everything
as soon as possible, they're they're just leeching.

Speaker 2 (40:05):
Yeah, I don't wear it, and I I don't know.
I don't I don't know about this, this this plan
to get ye to get stuff.

Speaker 1 (40:11):
But that's where that story ends. That is true. My
mother in law snuckins at our home and then called
the authorities on us. Oh she's a burglar who's calling
the cops on you? Wow? Hello? So I will try
to make this as short as possible. I'm a big
confused as to how I should continue this relationship. First
of all, I'm male, good to know nice by My

(40:35):
wife is fifty to fifty split between having her head
deep up her brother's butt and not wanting to have
anything to do with her. It's complicated by the way
this comes from deleted and if you want to submit
your own stories, go to the r slash. Okay, storytime
separate it. So, my relationship with my mother in law
was always awkward. She didn't want her precious daughter to
leave home and build her own family, so she's always

(40:56):
trying to shackle my wife as close to her as possible,
and you every possible trick upper sleeve to achieve exactly that. Yeah,
she sounds manipulation. Now, Oh yes, we've got we've we've
got our usual host of characters. Here from fake illnesses
to emotional stirrups uh to last second unnoticed vacations. We

(41:17):
had to come on. That's that's the whole, the whole
gang's here.

Speaker 2 (41:20):
We love that gang. Our manipulations. I know, it's like
the Brady Bunch. Yeah, but of manipulation, oh god.

Speaker 1 (41:26):
Fake illness, surprise vacation. And my wife until now had
never grasped that what her mother was doing was wrong.
So around six months ago, mother in law and father
in law bought a new house, a smaller one as
they didn't need all that space at their old home.
At first, I personally wasn't interested in that house, but
somehow my mother in law convinced my wife to convince

(41:47):
me to buy the house from them so we could
buy cheap and live with one less worry. So I
guess it was like buying the mother in law's house,
but also at a deal. But I'm I'm guessing ultimately
not the best option. But maybe it just deeper house. Oh,
I mean, yeah, maybe we'll see. I was completely against

(42:09):
the purchase of the house. Okay, so probably not that great.
It was incredibly close to their new home thirty minutes
walking distance, and the amount they asked for four hundred
and fifty thousand dollars was not justified for the state
that the house was in. Long story short, my wife
got extremely upset with me for not wanting the house,
and I just gave up and said, yes.

Speaker 2 (42:29):
That is a okay. I mean, a house is such
a huge purchase. You should not just give in. That
should be a heck yes from both people.

Speaker 1 (42:38):
Yeah, dude, my goodness. So yay we own a house now.
Oh god, I can feel the enthusiasm from the pament
is dripping from this post. For context, We got the keys, documents,
and everything is on paper. Nothing is in their name anymore.
It's all us now, okay. And for the past few

(42:59):
months of a moving in, renovating a bit here and there,
all seemed well. They never came to visit. We always
visited them, and the house was fine after some work.
Still a lot to fix, though, But I noticed a
few things. Whenever we were gone for more than eight
plus hours or a few days and then returned home,
it seemed like someone had been inside. Oh little gremlins

(43:21):
running about. Yeah, I see, yeah, I see you, I
see Yeah. It's such a big ic it was is
this is my house. I raised the kids in this house.
I raised you in this house. Oh my goodness. Well,
I don't care if you paid four hundred thousand dollars
for Yeah, yeah, I paid mine half a million dollars, mom,

(43:43):
So get out of my house. I'd get off my wall,
you know. Oh yeah, yeah, Oh I raised you and
that's worth a million dollars. So yeah, you owe me
you yeah, yeah, yeah, give me another five hundred grand
give it me now, I could. I've sworn that some
of my stuff was moved a few times. It smelled

(44:03):
like gas, as if someone had left something running in
the kitchen, and the sink in one of the bathrooms
was wet, even though I wipe it dry after using it. Okay, weird, flex,
but okay. Even my wife found it odd, and after
the gas incident, she was alarmed, of course, so I
figured mother in law probably had a key still in
her possession that we didn't know about. I was snooping around.

(44:26):
I bought two cheap cameras and installed them so I
could see the entrance. That's very smart. Smart in the
living room, as those two areas are connected.

Speaker 2 (44:34):
I can't wait for this person to be caught. I
can't wait. I mean so delicious.

Speaker 1 (44:39):
As someone suggested on here, I also changed out the
locks by buying completely new secure doors and having them replaced,
as well as adding new window security since all of
those were old. Two days after everything was changed, I
got a text from mother in law saying that I
was an evil person trying to destroy everything she loves.

Speaker 2 (44:58):
What the keeping random strangers, random strange people, random strange
family out of my house is a bad idea.

Speaker 1 (45:07):
You destroy with your cameras and your fancy locks. How
dare you have privacy in the home you paid half
a million dollars far? How dare you? And that she
wants the house back from us because she isn't tolerating
how we're treating her old property. Yeah, just give it back.
I'm locking it. That's allowed. Nope, nope, nope, And let

(45:29):
me keep the five hundred k. Get it back to
me right now. It's fine. What are you doing? Ridiculous?

Speaker 2 (45:34):
You're disrespecting me, disrespecting my Dwayne Hey's John Og host.

Speaker 1 (45:40):
We're gonna get back to the stories, but a quick
three minute break of ads from our sponsors. Back to
the story. I asked her where this was coming from.
All of a sudden, and her answer was, you're destroying
our old home. The door was a precious memento and
you shouldn't have changed it without asking me first. The door,
really it's a lock. He paid you half a million

(46:01):
dollars for it. My god. I told her that the
house was no longer hers and we could do whatever
we wanted. It's point blank period. I didn't hear back
from her until now she now wants her house back
because apparently we're not fitch to be homeowners. She's offering
to give us back four hundred and thirty out of

(46:23):
the four hundred and fifty thousand dollars since they already
spent twenty grand and wants everything back. I told her
to eat grass, yep, and that the home is now ours. Yep.
There we go, you OPI was like strong armed into
buying the stupid thing in the first place, and now
you want to take a loss for twenty grant. No, no,

(46:45):
and they've been renovating it and like, yeah, they just
putting money, so oh, it doesn't make any sense. Absolutely not.
I already I already had the police at my door,
all right, so now wall wait, Mom called the police, Yes,
So here's what happened, right quick TLDR. Just to clear
it up, right, Opie's mother in law is just kind
of sucks. Her mother in law and the daughter Opie's

(47:08):
Opie's wife strong armed him into buying their old house
for four hundred and fifty thousand dollars. He changes the locks,
get security camera. She's freaking out, saying, oh, you need
to let me in. You need to stop changing the
house now. The not only have the police have been
called on op for his you know, atrocities, for his crimes,
they are now at his doorstep, presumably potentially ready to arrest.

Speaker 2 (47:34):
Oh, I hate it for buying a home, for living it,
for changing the locks.

Speaker 1 (47:40):
Yeah, for changing the locks on the home I legally own.
Arrest me.

Speaker 2 (47:46):
I hate that people can call the police on you, right,
like you can just do that. Where's the where's the
where's the checks and balance process?

Speaker 1 (47:55):
Oh? My god? Okay, so can you imagine what it
looks like for me to explain that this house was
legally mine? They they effing laughed. God. And the worst part,
my wife says, to just put the old door back in.
The wife is still siding with the moll.

Speaker 2 (48:15):
How are you rocking with Mama after all this, honestly, maybe,
like the wife is like, hey, like it's not worth
all of the craziness. We can just change a lot,
but have this old memento door just to make mom happy. Maybe,
But I'm like it, there's a point where you just
you gotta say no.

Speaker 1 (48:36):
Yeah, you gotta be like yo, mom, if you don't
stop going bananas, I'm gonna have to put you in
time out.

Speaker 2 (48:42):
Yep, I'm gonna have to put you into iPhone lock
screen method. Holy moly.

Speaker 1 (48:46):
So I don't get my mother in law that I'm
okay with, but I don't get how my wife can
be so deep in her bs. If it were up
to me, I would go no contact and leave it
at that. But my wife is just glued to her.
I can't don't even enjoy our marriage anymore. Wow, it
doesn't feel like her and me. It feels like her
me and her bat crap crazy mother. I think that

(49:08):
if you feel like that, you should tell your wife
that one thousand percent. Because think about this, like and again,
Opie shouldn't have gone along with it. But it's like
Opie bought this house. He didn't want to because of
all the feeling pressure, feeling pressure, which is not fair.
Shouldn't it feel that pressure? Father in law is alright,
just a normal person most of the time fed up

(49:29):
with mother in law's BS two, but he can't be
bothered to actually hold her back. Yep, bro, he's probably
got his hands full of just dealing. He seems like
a rottweiler. Oh my god, yeah, biting at the freaking bit. Yeah.
So it's all you can do just to not get
bit yourself, let alone help prevent it from body. Oh,
I'm stressed, angry and really disappointed. Advice please, and we

(49:50):
have an update. But what's I think?

Speaker 2 (49:53):
I think advice is, uh, talk to your wife about
what you're feeling and that you feel like you're kind
of being displaced in your own marriage by her mother. Yes,
and I think just say that's what you're feeling, Say
how you're feeling, see how she responds. If there's no
action taken from that, then you might need to have
a harder conversation where like, hey, like I still feel

(50:13):
like this is not addressed and I don't know if
this is a relationship that I want to be. I
feel like you can stare a step towards leaving the
relationship if it continues. But if your wife doesn't make
some changes in terms of where her I guess where
her time and affection are. I don't know if this
relationship can last.

Speaker 1 (50:32):
I agree, I think it's too much. But we got
an update, so we're gonna see what happen. We'renna see
if the relationship lasts. So quite a lot happened since yesterday.
I stopped answering most comments as I was taking in
everyone's advice, thoughts, and experiences. First some info again. Some
people are concerned that dropping off the door would mean
she would copy the keys. Not possible, as both the
door and locks replaced with high security keys. I know

(50:55):
a locksmith could still duplicate them, but that would take
some time. Some are worried about birth control. Don't worry.
I can't even think of spicy sleep by right now.
Oh my goodness. What I'm guessing like baby trapping? Like
is the mother ohways, the mother in law, like you know,
hampering with birth control like baby I don't even know,
trying to get a grand kid. Yeah, I mean, I
wouldn't put it past her.

Speaker 2 (51:16):
She feels like going into the house and poking holes
in the holes.

Speaker 1 (51:21):
We've seen this before. We've seen this before it happened.
We've seen some crazy mother in laws, ladies and gentlemen.
Concerning security, No, I did not catch my mother in
law on camera. I installed them in conjunction with changing
the doors and locks, and I don't see a point
in spending money on more cameras, video doorbells, et cetera.
Some asked if mother in law had more children. Nope,

(51:42):
single child, So it's just the wife. I paid the
entire four hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Oh okay, my
wife didn't pay for the house renovations. Nothing. She bounces
from one job to another, trying to find something fitting.
This has always been the case. I don't mind supporting her,
but I feel a bit leashed off sometimes I.

Speaker 2 (52:02):
Think we're revealing like more and more problems in this relationship.

Speaker 1 (52:05):
Yeah, I mean the fact that op and look, it's
totally fine if there's a person in a relationship that
wants to, you know, financially provide for their partner as
like part of their partnership, absolutely fine. Great Mauzele talk
more Poetriia. But I don't know, just like generally like
imagining just like all of this waits on a pee

(52:25):
and they strong armed him to.

Speaker 2 (52:27):
Buy this house. Yeah feels so dicky. It feels really
yeah great. I feel like he's being he's being taken
advantage of, so taking advantage of it, and I feel
like taking advantage of in union between wife and mom.
I feel like wife and mom are like, let's like
suck this guy dry and on the way we want.

Speaker 1 (52:46):
I hate it. Oh God, But we have the actual
update now. So that was just a background context. Okay.
I call father in law and asked him if he
would beat me for coffee because I wanted to talk
bless him. He did exactly that. We sat down. I
asked him to plase, just listen and not interrupt. I
must have talked for close to two hours. That man
sipped his coffee, listened side, and said the following. In short,

(53:10):
mother in law's plan was to sell us the house,
rebuy it, make us literally homeless, so he couldn't say
no to her offer and we would end up living
with her and father in law. What oh my god.
Father in law did try to hold mother in law back,
but failed. He was extremely upset about the police call.
Upset about only offering four hundred and thirty k back,

(53:32):
and upset in general that she's going this far to
shackle her daughter. She says, remember the beginning, there was
a bit about like, oh, she didn't want her daughter
away from her, so I think maybe this is one
of her like crazy obsessions. He's like, ah, my, not her,
or you're taking her away? I do not like at all.
Put her back in her child at home. Then I'm
gonna have the home and I'm gonna take care of her.
Ough his offer and advice. Take mother in law's four

(53:55):
hundred and thirty k offer. He will set up a
legally binding contract under under father in law and myself personally,
the two of us, and he will give me the
twenty k plus what I put into renovations, et cetera,
without mother in law knowing, and that would bring me
close to five hundred thousand dollars. Okay, He told me
to pack it up and just leave. After a stern

(54:17):
talk with my wife. He said she won't wake up
as long as one of us is in close proximity.
Is he saying to divorce his daughter? I think so?
Whoa man is giving it to him straight. My man
put the the and unobjective or I feel like he's

(54:38):
just been so beaten down by being married to this
crazy Woman's like, kid, Webb, it tell you to it straight.

Speaker 2 (54:43):
I've been through this crap for twenty gooddamn years.

Speaker 1 (54:47):
He doesn't want to see another person go through it.
I mean, wow, dude, I mean salute. He looks sad
and upset. We hugged at the end, and he told
me not to be too saddened by all of this.
Sometimes we need to make hard decisions, and he said
I would regret it if I didn't do this. Wow.
There was more talk, obviously, but this is the short
and interesting part. Back home, I talk with my wife

(55:08):
in a more calm tone and manner. She didn't see
any evil from her mother, said her mother needs a
lot of attention and love like most elderly ladies, and
that often she sounds meaner than she actually is, but
only wants the best for us us. No, she wants
the best for her and her own intentions. Only we
argue back and forth. My wife is one hundred percent

(55:31):
behind her mother. Yikes, there's your answer, Yeah, there's your answer.
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (55:36):
This is not a relationship between them. It's like mom
and mom and your wife, right and you over there.

Speaker 1 (55:45):
But you want some icing on the cake, Sam, what's
the icing? She said, I should get some therapy to
get out of this obsession I have demonizing her mother. Oh,
please get out of here. Oh he needs some therapy.

Speaker 2 (55:58):
Re ridiculous. That makes me so bad, it makes me mad, ridiculous.
I stood up and left good. I slept at a
friends that night. I offered couples and individual counseling. It
was denied.

Speaker 1 (56:12):
Apparently I'm the only one that needs special attention, as
she called it. And I guess that's exactly what I need,
special attention by myself and for myself. Amen. That's right. Brother.
By the way, if you want to hear some stories
of standing up and gosh darn it, living your best life,
we want you to live your best life always, always,

(56:35):
and you know, have some fun and laugh while listening.
Go to Spotify Apple. I heard podcast search Okay, story
time and listen to some amazing content. Ladies and gentlemen.
But we've got the conclusion to the story. Let's hit it.
I've already messaged father in law it's not worth it.
I think the marriage, not the marriage to house deal.
I was married the first. Thank you everyone, Thank you

(56:56):
for taking the time to listen and support someone you
don't even know. I might take this homeless opportunity and
money to get out of it, explore and breathe freely
for once.

Speaker 2 (57:07):
I mean, I do feel like OPI's gonna be in
a better place. This sounds like craziness that needs to
be avoided and left.

Speaker 1 (57:13):
And w father in law, dude, he he, he broke up.
He broke op out of the matrix.

Speaker 2 (57:18):
I was not expecting that from father, seeing that he's
still married to the mother in law.

Speaker 1 (57:24):
He's like, He's like, I might be stuck in this
matrix forever, but gosh, dang it, if I don't have
this matrix myself, if it's the last thing I do. Yeah,
w father, that's awesome. But that's where this episode ended.
That's it.
