That second story is GROSS. Imagine encouraging your friend to try and cheat with your brother, like pushing your friend to sleep with your brother. In front of his wife. In their own home. The whole thing is gross, it’s actually disgusting behaviour. I’m also laughing how the sister had a tantrum, it makes me think his half-sister wishes she could sleep with him, she’s weirdly controlling and trying to destroy his happy marriage… is she pushing her friend as an “alternative” as a de facto in her place? Either way, whole thing is gross, and I’d go low/no contact with his sister, she’s actually insane. All her comments about how their unborn baby is “ruining things” and “should’ve had an abortion” just shows her true colours.

SIL IS trying to encourage Chloe to get with OP's husband and Chloe IS flirting with OP's husband. Glad that OP's husband was so observant and he immediately defended his wife against his sister. She criticize OP when she and her friend always come to the house to swim. Well, at least OP's husband seen his sister's true colors. OP needs to keep this man no matter what Third Story: Well OP just discovered that their parents played favorites. I can’t stand parents who play favorites and knowing this, OP won’t need to feel obligated to help them with anything. Literally that comment; they will eventually seek OP for care sooooo

So I have heard story 3 before and I think it is missing an update in the middle... I could have sworn there was an update where OP did confront the parents and found out that he was born after a miscarry where the parents had decided NOT to have more kids and he was just a "mistake". They also secretly resented his existence because they had to work more to support the family and "missed" out on watching their golden child grow up...

SIL is a product of cheating and trying to recreate the same scenario for her brother. She needs therapy.

I'll bet that it did. Considering that his mother didn't exactly get along with OP anyway (aside from the stalking), if he did suspect his mother of being his wife's stalker, that turned regular mourning into complex grief. Complex grief is a beast to deal with, so I would actually expect an outburst like that.

2nd story: OP's SIL: "You're a simp!" OP: "Yeah, I'm a simp. For your brother. And he's one for me too."

I feel like 90% of the problems people post about on Reddit can just be solved by "speak to them directly, not to strangers on Reddit".

Last Story: Great video once again! Tho Rslash did miss quite a lot of info about the last story unfortunately. The parents explained to him after he confronted them that "they just don't see him as their son" because he was an "accident baby" and that "made it easier to love his sister more". Also other bs reasons like they view him ad a disappointment cause 1. he'a in Accountancy and not law, 2. didn't like his fiancé and 3. he wasn't closer to his sister who basically stole $2k from him and made him go into debt in his last year of univeristy. And from what i know he decided that if they don't see him as their son he won't see them as his parents, and as far as he knows they've only tried to reach out once when his first kid was born, and thats it. Edit: also apparently they're upset cause he lives 40 minutes away? I genuinely don't know if they're upset on if thats too close or too far away considering they were ALSO disappointed with him for going away for university for 3 years dispite them not seeing him as part of the family. if they don't see him as part of the family wouldn't they be happy for him to be away from them and not their responsibilityanymore??

Story 2: The power move would have been, rather than telling her directly, to just continue to act oblivious but find some reason to sneak things into conversation about how cheaters are terrible people, people who try to get married people to cheat are shitty, and so on. Let her get the hint by casually talking about how much you hate cheaters, while continuing to outwardly behave like Chloe is just being friendly.

I've heard the second story a few times and I agree. It always strikes me how mature and responsible the husband in the story is.

1st Story: So... I have a sinking feeling the OP's relationship is going to hit some nasty bumps and may not survive the aftermath of this for two reasons. One is the fact that she never mentioned HOW the MIL kept getting the OP's contact information. I'm presuming the OP stopped giving information to the MIL when she was suspected and the only way... the husband even though he ADMITTED that he suspected. She might still be in the relief stage not to think about it, but when they tell the family, they going to have questions... Two is the fact that the husband openly admitted to highly suspecting it but was not willing to go LC in some form. I know there was abuse on his end from his mother, but this is really bad. They need to have some SERIOUS conversations about this. His guilt is not misplaced at all, this will eat legitimately at him for a long time. Once the OP's relief stage is over, there is a possibility that resentment will occur for all the terror she endured. Therapy will help, but the facts of this are pretty bad.

If I were going to try to give SIL the benefit of the doubt, which I'm not really inclined to do, I'd say maybe she's overly attached to her brother because their dad abandoned her and OP's husband kind of assumed a fatherly role for her, but it's still weird.

The story with Chloé reminds me of my step MIL... His dad & her met & got married just after us. She was 10 years older than my husband (the age of his older brother) and she seemed to really take a liking to my husband... She was always really bubbly, touchy & flirty around him. At first I thought that was just her personality, but it quickly became clear that she wasn't like that with anyone else. She'd step between us & demand his undivided attention. He's a people pleaser, so he'd never say anything or show how uncomfortable she made him... Except when she hopped on a motorcycle behind him & wiggled her chest all over his back & reached in his FRONT POCKET to 'search for the keys'.... that was the day he got freaked out. We were to spend the next day with them for Thanksgiving & while in the shower he begged me to stay by his side & not let her do her usual tricks. I laughed like OP because I was also pregnant & thinking I was making stuff up in my head.... I was so relieved that I wasn't imagining stuff! After that she would call him nearly every weekend to come meet with her so they could talk about how his dad treated her... ugh. He would go & tell her that he warned her before they got married, but whatever. He finally flipped out on her & went VVLC with them that VALENTINE'S DAY when she called him up wanting him to meet her at the park to discuss his dad... He told her we were headed our to celebrate our first Valentine's Day as a married couple & he couldn't. She cried & begged & he pretty much told her off. They haven't spoke much since. Her & his dad split up years ago. Luckily she hasn't tried to mess with my husband again.....

The family situation in the last story is EXACTLY what I’m living right now. My grandparents pushed away my aunt to the point she went no contact over 20 years ago, and my mom and uncle pushed the full time care of my grandmother onto me. I’m struggling to find a way out of this mess I’m in. My mom and uncle wanted the attention of my grandparents until they needed any kind of care.

2nd Story I'm giving that husband 10 gold stars for the way he stood up to his sister!

How do you baby trap someone you are already married to? What the hell? I just can't with people anymore.... 😔

I heard the third story from Lost Genre. The update that he posted was more recent than the one on here. I can't remember the parents' reason, something like how they didn't see their son as their son or something like that, but it was a pathetic reason. OP didn't need anything from them and they deserve whatever suffering is inflicted upon them by their terrible favorite daughter. Despite that, it was more or less a happy ending. OP got what he needed and he felt like he could burn the bridge with them.

Story 2: It's bad enough that OP's SIL is trying to facilitate a hookup with her best friend and her brother. But it seems like the SIL could also be attracted to her own brother, like she's trying to live vicariously through her friend, or something. In any case, she clearly has a big grudge against the OP, trying to hurt her, her marriage, and even slander her unborn kid any way she can. Imagine how badly she could postentially treat the child when it's born. If I was the husband, wouldn't wait to cut contact with this weirdo sister

My sister is just going down all the wrong paths, is a total screw up by the textbook definition, but she's everyone's favorite. And sadly she had to force another life to suffer along with her. The last story gave me hope that my nephew just might turn out alright. He's only 1 now, but it's never too early to hope. I already hoped for a good future, but this built on that hope. Thank you, random reddit user.

"You stalking my wife?" "what are you, a simp?" top tier comeback

Story 1 is so awful. So so awful. My paternal grandmother was an absolute see ya (maybe on Tuesday) and tortured me by trash talking my mother when I was little, but she didn't stalk her to the point of making her fearful of leaving the house. People are awful.

Third story: I know this situation. They are playing favorites in a really disgusting way. I say cut them when the time of need of them comes With the update: Well, at least one of the eggs wasn't rotten there.

first story: husband is a real man, a true stand up guy. in a moment of grief and guilt, he said something mean to his wife. however, later he reflected on it, figured out how he got there, and apologized to his wife. what wonderful emotional intelligence! i love it. wish our society valued that kinda thing more. its difficult to reflect on feelings, behavior, thoughts, etc and i hope it becomes a skill important to more people!

The will story: talk about choosing the kid who literally wants to wait for you to die to get your stuff over the kid who literally helped with many things and didn’t treat you like a ATM or even ask for money to do the thing you wanted them to do. Congratulations parents, both kids don’t love you. You drove one away and the other loves you just so she can get the money and objects when you pass

Story One: Sounds like all is the better if the "stalker" and MIL were the same person! Not to make light of the MIL's death, but that type of behavior is synonymous with what serial killers do-stalk their victims for days, weeks, months before murdering them. It's so consistent too. Pretty sure that the MIL would've eventually hired a hitman or made an attempt on OP's life herself. That's how serious it was. Story Two: No means no! No means no! No means no! The dude's wife is pregnant and they're married, but the sister's friend kept trying to get him to chear with her. That's low... More so, the sister needs to butt out! They're half-siblings, not husband and wife! He's got his life and she's got hers! This type of possessive behavior is EXACTLY what causes siblings to become estrange. It's toxic! Story Three: Updated after ten years? I'm glad to hear there was an update and that OP's life is on the right track, but I have to question-why bother? Past drama is usually best left in the past. "Gravedigging" online seldom drudges up good results! X'D

I hope OP in the third story knows he can contest the will. If absolutely nothing was willed to him, I wouldn’t have brought it up at all, not brought their attention to it and just waited. After dealing with a few shitty family members, I’ve learned you need to include them in the will, even if it’s just £1, to show they weren’t forgotten and it makes it very difficult to contest. If OP’s still left with absolutely nothing, he should contest the will.

She's not sitting around all day. She making a literal child. That is something.

After so many reddit stories where OPs are married to absolute jerks, the first two stories felt like a bit of a fresh air off husbands that have OPs back and loves them.. Like yes, the first stories husband could've maybe connected the dots more. But I can understand not getting into your head that your mother would go this far and at least he acknowledged it and is taking steps to improve himself and helping to get his wife to cope with the trauma. With the second story, I think because OP is so protective with his sister that she believed her brother would listen and do to anything she said to him and that's why the situation turned so ugly. If the husband wants the sister to stop doing this, he needs to stop being so defensive about her. But the husband is acknowledging that at least so there is still hope. As you said rslash, he really sounds like a keeper.

Random fun fact: in regards to the second story about the husband not noticing the flirting at first People tested it and showed that humans have no idea what flirting actually looks like. And when people had to guess if people were flirting or just being nice they usually got it wrong. Just something that popped into my head after hearing that

Story 1 : death does everyone a favor.. monster In law was a term I heard somewhere never thought I would see it in a story... Don't worry op monster in law is burning in hades.. Story 2 : start thinking about taking a no contact order on your sin in law op.. she's a psychopath.. Story 3 : 17:36 said it perfectly.. those "parents " on their last right bed " why doesn't our no good son visit us anymore "?? Complete waste of air..

oh thank goodness the second story didn't turn into a "My husband has now left me and i'm now living with my parents again." kind of story i would have screamed to the moon and back if it did

*2nd Story:* OP & her husband are financially well off enough to afford an _indoor pool_ but have to deal with Jerry Springer level relationship BS from the SIL & Chloe? I guess the saying "More money, more problems" has some real truth to it.

Story 1 - I feel for both OP and her husband, OP for dealing with the stalking and her husband for having to realize what kind of person his mom was.

Imagine having the peace of mind that your stalker will never be able to harass you again, that must’ve been the biggest relief

There isn't an apology in the world that would make me forgive her. Drop her.

The story with OP not being in the parents' will reminds me of the episode of American Dad when Stan found out Francine isn't in her adoptive parents' will; they left everything to their biological daughter Gwen. Why? Because Francine is doing alright, while Gwen needs all the help she can get. "Did you know she failed math?!" "But...she's Asian." "That's what I said!"

HOLY HECK. That SIL is insane!

Glad to know this MIL Stalker is no more. Maybe that car accident she died in was a case of karmic justice for OP. In any case, the MIL’s headstone should read “Here lies MIL: bitter, hateful and the creepy stalker that cause fear and such. Will NOT be missed!”

As the black sheep in my family that last story made my stomach churn. I have been no contact with my toxic parents and their flying monkeys (including all but two of my many siblings) for almost 15 years, and low contact for at least 5 years before that. I am certain that I have been disinherited from both parents' wills. My parents, however, bet on the wrong horse. I have gone on to grad school, earned my degrees, built my career, am a contributing member of my community, and have managed to build a circle of loving family and friends (we don't share DNA but we are still family). In the meantime, my parents got stuck with my sociopath but yet still golden-child older sibling who has been using them for their money with one failed get-rich-quick-scheme after another, and who is counting the days until they die so he can pillage what is left of the estate (my mother told me once golden-child is the executor of their wills - I am certain GC will take full, and dishonest, advantage of that). I will bet that even my other siblings who are still part of the will get nothing after GC is done with it. So ultimately, I am left out of receiving a share of an estate that will be crumbs by the time GC is done with it, both while my parents are living and after they have died. But, I am also in a place of happiness and love that I never had in my toxic family of origin. And, my toxic parents are stuck with GC and will be lucky if GC doesn't make them homeless before they die, and with a child they prize but who ultimately lacks the brain wiring to love them in any way. I am content to let that be my justice. Karma is a beautiful warrior goddess.

I really hope OP 1's husband is gonna be okay after all that. That's so upsetting. I'm glad OP is getting better, and I hope her husband can forgive himself for the things that weren't his fault

Omg the those first two stories, both OPs have found great supportive husbands. I think these videos or just reddit in general have made me kind of cynical because I've been calling 2nd OP's husband a unicorn forgetting that there are actually happily married men out there... of course RSlash is one of them

Last story: I get the vibes that OP was visiting his parents and "doing the right things" to eventually get an inheritance. When he found out that wouldn't be the case, he went no contact. So it was all about the sibling rivalry and money for OP too when it came to having a relationship with his parents. in this case, the siblings are as bad as each other.

NO!! He was just being a good person!!!

Honestly, the second story, I bet the sister was more afraid of the baby taking her place as her brother’s “favorite”, super toxic like yikes

So that lawyer's sister wishes his baby dead. Wishes her niece or nephew...dead. Unforgivable. End contact. Lawyer should make sure sister gets one dollar in his will.

Honestly I’m kinda worried about marrying into a crazy family 😂😮

That girl seriously thought she could little miss steal your man with that high school level flirting. 😂

Story 1: husband if he thought his mom was the stalker he could have tried to set her up. Make a fake email and tell her it’s his wife’s new email and wait. If she sent threatening stuff to it he could print it up and confront her saying wtf. That’s sad thou. He let his wife suffer. :/

Yeah he, or his wife and him together could have definitely created a plan to trap her.

The third story, Rslash missed an update OP posted, before the 10-year update, where he confronted his parents about why he was excluded from the will. Here's the TLDR copied from the post "Tl;dr. I am excluded as my parents are unhappy with my life choices despite never telling me so before. Also I was unwanted and so they have never really connected with me or viewed me as part of the family. Because they were so focussed on my sister I became self succient and grew up faster and that made them feel more distant. My sister means more to them than I and they do not want to change their minds or try to work things through. I have no parents now. (However on a positive note my future in laws are awesome and I have been calling her mother mum for a while now so I do kind of get some parents)"

This was great to listen to instead of the loud tornado sirens going off! keep it up rslash!

OMG!! Keep safe. . I felt my first Earthquake this year..so freaky

Second Op we love that he's learning to be a better husband, the fact his sister was actively trying to hook up her friend with her married brother is just nuts. Like a payday bar nuts. The fact that he realized it and didn't know how to approach his wife about it was kinda sad, that they can't be open to each other, but then again his overworking brain probably put that into the overthinking jar. And Op is probably had a much more peaceful pregnancy with her sil not in her pool 24/7

I'm so glad that each story ended more or less happily: the first two stories had a husband who was willing to stand by his wife against the toxic family member, and third story ended with OP living a beautiful life away from his toxic family. Story 1: this going to sound really morbid of me, but I can't help but feel happy and relieved that the MiL died. Hear me out: clearly the woman was insane, and dangerously so, she was a danger to OP, and clearly wasn't about to change for the better. Her dying is what is going to insure OP's safety. Story 2: I hope the husband cuts his sister out of his life. You can't come back from making a comment like THAT: "you should have dragged your wife to the abortion clinic." Combined with the fact that she's trying to get her own brother to cheat on his wife... yeah. That's not just toxic, that's insanity. Just like the MiL in the first story, the SiL sounds downright crazy and dangerous. I hope OP's husband sticks to his guns about protecting his wife and baby; THEY'RE what are supposed to come first now, not the sister. Story 3: when the story started out, the way how OP described the different financial situations of himself and his sister, I figured, "While the parents are indeed being harsh for not including him in the will, maybe they just figure he doesn't need any of their money?" But when it was revealed that the daughter has STOLEN from them and made SO MANY screw ups in life... yeah. It's one thing to want to help your kid out of a bad situation, but to effectively "punish" one kid for succeeding and being self-sufficient while "rewarding" the other kid for ruining their life... I'm just glad things worked out for OP in the end, and that he at least has a good relationship with his nephew. As for the sister, at least she's improved somewhat. I say let her have her wait for her parents' will. She still needs it way more than OP does.

Last Story: There was a lot of info left out. OP'S parents blamed him for never having money, for losing out on "the best days of their lives." He was an oops baby, and they blamed him for every problem and missing out on their daughter growing up. It was also somehow his fault she is a failer. When he left for college, 40 minutes away, they felt like he abandoned the family and discarded them for selfish things.

I have had two very nice boyfriends (one's my husband now) who seriously would not know if a woman was flirting with them. Or even notice pretty women around us. At first I thought they were good actors, but no...they are sincere. For example, at a restaurant, we had a gorgeous waitress. Like- Hollywood Star gorgeous. After she leaves, I said, "Wow, is she pretty!" and my Bill goes, "....who?..." He's a keeper.

Second Stroy=You think most people have the sense not to argue with a lawyer.

Man what a jerk of a sil she's trying to break up a happy relationship and somehow op is the evil minulapting one? Ether she's just stupid or super entitled. Also touching anyone with no permission is sexual assault regardless of gender.

I feel bad for the husband in the 2nd one constantly getting s. harrassed by these people. If I (a woman) had two guys coming over in swimming clothes every day talking about marriage cheating rates I would go nuts

So...story 3. So the sister can't undo the horrible things she did, but she supposedly cleaned up her act and is now working a job. She also raised a very bright boy. What else is she supposed to do now? OP states she has no drive to get a better job but can she? She's a convict with no prospects. If her son turned out so well I'm wondering if we're missing something or if she's truly so terrible.

I'm glad Rslash didn't comment on the first post. I thought he was about to say the dude was a horrible husband for saying what he said and what not. But I'm glad he chose not to say anything. What he said was terrible, but I know sometimes it is easy to snap at someone, even if they haven't done anything wrong

1st story: Im glad op didnt flat out tell him right away. It couldve gone badly. He couldve saw it as "op disrespecting the dead". saw she was being a jerk. I think wouldve been best for op to had never told him or at least till he connected the dots (which he did)

Story 3 actually has an update in between were the op says that he did confront his parents about the will and they basically told him he was an accident, his sister wasn't, and they didn't really love him or ever "connect" with him as a child. He then goes no contact with the family, hence him talking about talking to his nephew. He says he was hurt but in the long run the no contact was for the best.

story 3: this kind of stories is why in my country you canno't fully remove a child from your will, you have to give them a certain % at the very least unless you have it recorded that they owe money to you (and therefore to the estate). It sucks when your kids treated you like shit or you are estranged but you still have the freedom to give most of it to whomever you want just legally canno't give them nothing. We actually had a big public story with kids from a celebrity whose father lived and set his will in the US and left nothing to his 2 adult kids and chose to leave everything to his current wife and younger kids so the adult children sued their step mother and step siblings in our country to try and get the share they would have had if the will had been made in our country (and if the place of residence had been in our country)

In Canada your parents would have left their will open to dispute as you cannot intentionally disenfranchise a child in your will!

I don't know how wills work in the UK (they mentioned pounds, so I assume it's UK), but in my country, parents can't completely leave their children out of their will without stating in it the justification for doing so, and even then, only a few circumstances allow the disowning, such as committing a serious crime against the parents.

I REALLY wish on the update for the 3rd story we could hear more context around the OP being NC with parents and sister. I feel like there was a conversation sparked by the will that included a whole lot more.

The last story sounds like the sister will have a few months of living the life of her dreams before she runs out of money and eventually has to file bankruptcy

And if I’m not mistaken in the UK he could contest that will if he doesn’t inherit anything. Lots of countries do not allow you to disinherit children.

The Will story shows clear favouritism, it feels like OP is completely snubbed by her parents. OP is an attentive daughter who cares but is snubbed entirely. It sadly doesn’t surprise me OP is no contact with his family, the favouritism is very obvious. It’s heartbreaking knowing the child who actually loved and cared for his parents was snubbed in favour for a daughter who doesn’t care about them at all and is essentially waiting for them to die. The last comment is absolutely right, the parents will all of a sudden contact OP out of nowhere and tell him “you can earn your way into the will” You’re sadly better off without them OP, I hope you and your wife have a happy life together!

The husbands in this episode are absolute chads. When given a difficult situation involving a family member, they were there to stick up for their spouse. They'd take accountability at appropriate times and address their issues/ act to resolve them mostly on their own accord. This is an example of what a partner in any couple should be like. Mad repect.

I love stories with supportive spouses. They make my soul happy 😭

I love it when rSlash goes "Wha..!? (O.o)" (10:58) It has some cartoonish energy to it.

That last story hurt my soul because of how relatable it is 😭😭

the second story is an example of an excellent husband that one's a keeper for sure!

I don't mean to gush, but out of all the reddit story readers (including the dnd ones even) you have the most engaging voice, and I love your content rslash. Thank you sincerely for another distraction from my day job.
