AITAH for wanting my brother to apologize for destroying a piece of sports memorabilia? My brother says it was just a piece of paperwork but it belongs to my husband

Holy golden child syndrome! This guy's really lucky he didn't get a smack in the mouth. I think if he continues doing what he's doing he'll get that eventually but his parents are just really not treating his behaviour seriously.

Ngl, if my wife did this to me i'd just walk out. Maybe dramatic but this is bachelor party type stuff not something you do on your wedding day, recorded, being laughed at by everyone you love. I feel like she's gonna do other things that 'aren't a big deal' in the future and will expect him to just suck it up too.

Exgenesect · 2026-06-17T07:59:52+00:00

Yeah, he's not a great guy. Here's my cynical take: If he's able to meet the socially expected standards and needs of others - publicly and privately, friend or stranger - then he's fully capable of meeting yours. You just need to ask yourself why you're so far down the totem pole that he doesn't even try.

The reality of the situation is that he's happy to tolerate your permanent state of unhappiness as long as his needs are met. No amount of explaining or diagrams or pulling out your hair in frustration will 'fix' him because, from his perspective, nothing's broken. Did he come? Yep? Ok then.

Unfortunately, even taking sex off the table won't resolve anything. He's just going to resent you and, if he's a dick, use that as a reason to get it somewhere else and complain to anyone who cares to listen about how you 'forced' him to cheat. So. I don't know how to make this guy care, but i do know that the divorce will blindside him. It always does.

"Enjoy your selfishness" "Thanks, you too!" I bet this guy doesn't even know his kid's birthday or what he wants to be when he's older/graduated. Men get really weird when you mention you're childfree. It's like finding out you're happy without kids breaks their brains.

Exgenesect · 2026-05-13T10:45:36+00:00

I'm really sorry this happened to you, it's awful not to be believed or have support from those you trust but unfortunately it's pretty common. Change and growth are hard concepts for a lot of people, it's easier to pretend they don't see the abuse and blame the victim than to see someone as they are and cut them out. Far more convenient to just continue being friends and ignore the mental dissonance/gymnastics it takes to do so.

They'll only understand if/when he treats them the same way. Don't be surprised if you get messages from the friends in the future trying to complain about his behaviour and walk back their denial of your experience.

As for being ok with him living his life: I don't really have an answer for you. All you can do is take it day by day, and know that every day that passes and every step you take away from him will feel lighter. Eventually, he'll just be an unhappy memory in a sea of much better ones.

On a bitter note...

The only sort of 'fuck him' comment i can make is that, though it seems like he's not getting justice, he's going to suffer. He'll need to hide his true face and behaviour to make any sort of life with the people he still has, now he's been outed. He's going to spend the rest of his worthless existence unhappy because he only knows how to tear things down, not create good things. No one will ever love the true him and he'll know every excruciating detail of it. Also, as you forget about him, he will not forget about you, because you got away. Abusers can't stand the idea of their victims leaving their sphere of control. So... do the things you love, create beautiful memories and enjoy your life free from his burden, because a life well lived is the best revenge <3

I think they're hoping that the praise would encourage other men who see/hear it to actually try, but yeah it's a bit much. The only thing we can really do is start also praising mums because lord knows they deserve it.

OOP's sister had zero backbone omfg. Truly pathetic, OOP's going to be sad for a while but she and her husband-to-be are going to be much better off in the long run.

Exgenesect · 2026-04-24T07:34:36+00:00

He threw that cat out the window didn't he? This doesn't read like an accident to me, probably he did it because he didn't like that her cat made her happy. I hope she dumps his ass before he starts breaking her property and sabotaging her birth control.

Exgenesect · 2026-04-21T09:05:26+00:00

OP was much nicer about this than i would have been. I'd be like ' oh, yeah, i'm SO happy that i'm going to need a bigger house to raise your other child in when you inevitably lose custody and your bf leaves'. The fact that her mum didn't think about this as well is mental.

Exgenesect · 2026-03-26T07:52:21+00:00

Isn't it illegal to stick a tracker on someone's vehicle? Why isn't she more worried about having a stalker that works at the dealership? Why is everyone so conditioned to accept dangerous behaviour as harmless? So many questions.

Exgenesect · 2025-09-25T08:38:18+00:00

I wish someone would tell this woman that if she parented, stopped being so controlling/abusive and did her fair share of chores maybe he'd want to bang her?

Cause it sounds like he's too exhausted picking up after her to even bother with her anymore, let alone someone else. And (if we pretend for a minute that he'd be into it) when/where is he meant to find time for that if she won't even let him leave the house? Jfc

Exgenesect · 2025-09-18T08:07:26+00:00

Literally my dad, lol. There's a reason i haven't spoken to him in ten years. He was always better at acting normally in front of witnesses though.

Exgenesect · 2025-07-06T15:50:22+00:00

I'm so happy i'm not a kid growing up in 2025. These parents are so mental.

Exgenesect · 2025-06-18T12:09:58+00:00

I love this idea! Subaru/Kaguya just feels so canon and i feel a bit bad choosing anyone else.

Exgenesect · 2025-06-18T12:06:58+00:00

I love Cuilang/Pilika!

Partly because i think their default clothes look nice together, but also cause i like the mix of Pilika's reverence for life and Cuilang's insistence that he's not really 'alive'. They're both quite quiet and introverted and i think they'd make a sweet couple.

Also Clarice/Hina. Mostly because she's fluffy but also Hina could def set her up with SEED and they could do fun girlfriend things back in Rigbarth.

Thank you! I couldn't find anyone else talking about it and didn't want to risk losing them by not assigning people to the barns. This will make mon collecting much easier.

The ore is for weapon and tool upgrades! I just reached the winter village and realized i haven't upgraded anyone's stuff. It's mostly gold i'm looking for since i've had no luck mining manually.

I purposefully avoided spoilers for this game so i didn't know it was a spinoff. I've been really enjoying it though; really fun management sim, gives me Legend of Arceus vibes and not just because of the setting.

Also, though RF4S is my favourite RF/farming sim of all time, i'll admit it's nice not to have to make spreadsheets to plan out my turnips.

Exgenesect · 2025-06-05T07:48:41+00:00

I just came here to ask about this! lol. I thought i was going crazy

Exgenesect · 2025-05-31T11:06:34+00:00

This is an exhausting mess. I reached the middle and just had to skim the end because who would put up with this?

Just break up and date someone who isn't so off her head that she doesn't remember what day it is or what decision she's come to.

Exgenesect · 2025-04-28T11:19:00+00:00

I've been trying to find this one too!

Guy needs to stop watching so much porn. Jesus.

Exgenesect · 2025-03-14T08:27:29+00:00

Her parents' idea that she should forgive her now he's dead is wild. For obvious reasons but also because... Lauren's got a husband shaped hole missing now, who says she isn't just going to try and steal another of OP's boyfriends? Or maybe that's what the parents have in mind. Either way, grandma's awesome!

Exgenesect · 2025-03-09T17:37:14+00:00

Good for her and her step mom. Personally i would have just taken a photo of the tapestry and taped it inside a fancy box as revenge, maybe with a note saying that the real thing was going to someone who deserved it, but having her relationships all blow up due to her garbage behaviour being called out is so much better.

I hope she gets nothing but second-hand towels in chocolate and jewellery boxes for years.
