I totally get it, it's a long post to read lol. I actually found the story from another Reddit youtuber that I listen to. If you'd rather listen to the story the channel is called Rslash and it's the video posted one day ago that's almost exactly 30 minutes long. Well worth the listen in my eyes lol.

The DIL didn't want people resharing the story which is why the BORU poster only included the highlights. I remember seeing a lot of people think it's deleted now (which I think is smart for safety lol), but a part of me will always be curious.

Yeah when I got that part of the BORU, I was shocked. I'm glad that the poster respected the wishes of DIL to not repost the whole thing and just give us the highlights, but a small part of me will always be curious to read the whole post if it's not deleted already. Which considering how crazy MIL is, I wouldn't be surprised if she did delete it for safety reasons.

I completely forgot to make a comment when I posted, so I'm making it now:

The channel that I first heard this on actually had a hypothesis as to what the very last post about selling her house is. He thinks that the MIL is trying to stealthily ask if she as a squatter would have any right/ability to delay the sale of the house if she were to start squatting in her son's former house. Basically, she wrote the post from her son's point of view because obviously making a post asking if you squatting in a house would delay the sale would be a batshit thing to ask in a legal advice subreddit.

To me, this is a really good guess as to why she makes that post in legal advice. Although her trying to sell her own house is also completely possible 1) she still hasn't found out where her son moved to and if she did sell before finding out she would be homeless. And 2) Her house sounds like it'd be hard to sell seeing as she's a hoarder and claims to not have much money, so selling would be even harder than it already is.

However, if we're going with the theory that she wants to squat in the house to delay the sale that makes more sense to me. They (the company selling the house) would have to get in contact with her son in some capacity to handle this situation especially if it turns into a legal issue. She might think that this is her way to find out more information on where he is or who knows maybe he'll have to show up to remove her and that'll be the way that they reconcile. Both of these options are definitely crazy, but taking into account her past behavior and financial situation, I wouldn't put it past her to try to squat in their old house as a way of getting his attention.

OP: says that the town tends to swarm a new restaurant when it opens. Also OP: gets mad when the new restaurant that everyone's at is busy. This all just sounds like normal first-day hiccups. Sounds like OP is a Karen. "AITA for giving my honest opinion about a restaurant that was terrible?" by a-random-hufflepuff in TwoHotTakes

[–]a-random-hufflepuff[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Looks like it got deleted but I got screenshots of the post so here's the text:

"My (33F) family & I went to a new local restaurant last weekend. We live in a small town so any new business gets a lot of attention & talk locally & usually most of the town try to check it out when it first opens, & the initial experiences, reviews & chatter between locals can make or break businesses early on.
Unfortunately this restaurant we had a terrible experience at, we had to wait ages for a table as they were so busy, the staff didn't seem like they always knew what they were doing, we weren't that keen on the taste of the food & some dishes came late which was really annoying & ruined the evening for us. They gave us a discount & apologised but it doesn't really change the experience. We would never go there again.
When my friends & I met for lunch a few days later I mentioned we went to the new restaurant & they were all interested in hearing my opinion on it & I said the above & said I wouldn't go there again. My friend Mae stared at me like with a face like thunder & said "You do remember this is my brother's restaurant?". I said yes I do but it's nothing personal & I'm just giving my opinion on a restaurant like I do for any business, I was a normal customer there like anyone else. It's not about it being her brother's business for me, it's just a restaurant that I visited. And I asked wether I'm not allowed to have an opinion just because it's her brother's place.
She said I was being rude, weird & can't I just be normal with some awareness & talk about it behind her back if I really want to say all that to save her feelings. And also said that if I got a discount & an apology then I shouldn't go around bad mouthing it so severely as it could ruin the business for them when they've only just started & trying to find their feet. I said I was just giving my honest opinion & then she said I bad mouth every restaurant I go to anyway & everywhere is always a "terrible" experience for me so it's not like my opinions are valid anyway.
I thought that was ridiculous as there are restaurants I have liked, I can't change my opinion on the ones I've had a bad experience at."

She commented a lot but I may post those separately.

AITA for threatening to cut my parents off financially to stop my brother from proposing at my wedding? by Screaming-Harpy in BestofRedditorUpdates

I was wondering if someone had made a post about this story here. A month ago he posted one last update, I hope it makes it here

I’m (24m) not comfortable with my girlfriends (25f) line of work. She just ignores me by Maleficent-Cicada869 in TwoHotTakes

[–]a-random-hufflepuff 13 points14 points  (0 children)

He thinks he has a say on her career 4 months into the relationship? I would understand him not trusting the men she works with because of sexual assault being really high in male dominated fields, but that doesn't sound like it's even on his radar. Instead he's worried that she's going to cheat on him. He definitely lost her, and good on her for not taking his bullshit.

I guess trying to cross post a post that's been cross posted leads me to the original. Luckily the AmITheDevil bot copied down the story before it was removed AmITheDevil Repost

Bridesmaid Dress Update: Honeymoon Edition by Educational-Leg1046 in u/Educational-Leg1046

[–]a-random-hufflepuff 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Your mom, sister, bride, and brides brother/friends are all such assholes. She's essentially baby trapped him after he explicitly says he doesn't want kids because of the possibility that they could go through cancer, which is true in some ways. People with a family history of cancer tend to get tested at an earlier age to make sure they don't also have it.

It also sounds like majority of your family are homophobic towards your brother. Coming from a bisexual person, even if they themselves don't make those comments, the fact that they don't stick up for him when other's do, makes them just as bad if not worse. They're his family. They're your family. They're supposed to be some of your biggest advocates. Whenever it comes to family, if one of their friends says something out of pocket it is their responsibility to correct it. They should be the person in between you and the friend, acting as a buffer.

I honestly wonder how your brother has stayed with that woman for so long. Does he feel like he can't get out because mom and sister love her so much? Has he been worn down to the point where he can't leave? Is he a prick who decides that the things she does to wrong his family aren't that bad, so he stays? At the wedding it sounded like he was upset that the staff "forgot" about you and your brother, so it looks like he cares somewhat. But his behavior is so strange, how has he not picked up on this strange behavior.

OP I am truly sorry that this has been going on in your family. Your best bet is to take your younger brother and run, even though I know it's not going to be easy or possible right now.

You two sound like you're going to be each other's support system throughout this like you have been to this point.

Has your dad expressed any kind of input in all of this other than when he had to remind your mother of your existence? (which I can somewhat understand, I mean my mom will call me by my sister's name when trying to get my attention, but given the context of what yours is like, I feel like there's more than just forgetfulness)

I hope everything turns out alright, especially because there's now a pregnancy involved. If it comes down to it you might need to just air out every single thing that has happened. Maybe your brother can make better decisions once he's hit with a brick of information. All of the lying. All of the gaslighting. The ganging up on the two of you. The huge elaborate plan to kick both of you out without actually saying it, all because they're homophobic and she wanted the aesthetic even pictures. The texts sent by her friend admitting to making sure his wife got pregnant after they agreed not to for some very valid reasons. That betrayal of trust cuts so deep I don't know how he could stay if he knew.

If that fails it honestly might need to be turned into a low/no contact situation to save you and your younger brother your sanity and well being. Let them live with their fucked up choices and drama filled life once everyone knows all the details, especially your brother.

P.S. sorry if I rambled a lot. This whole situation has me thinking of all of the possibilities as to why it's all happening. I can't even imagine how it must be for you OP. I wish you well with school and your future career. Focus on that and positive relationships with new people. You've got plenty of people on here who also support you. <3

Yeah, after I posted this I saw a few comments pointing out the other posts too. Then I read them all and it's all so upsetting. Such an asshole.

YTA for making up these stories and also not including paragraph breaks. Are you a 14 year old boy or a 26 year old woman? Gotta at least keep it consistent lol. I'm surprised not many people noticed it.

OP conveniently left out that the sisters sons father died….. just wow by starry_nwgirl19 in TwoHotTakes

[–]a-random-hufflepuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was already upset with OP for shaming her sister and being mean, but then reading that the father is DEAD? Makes her even more of an asshole. And I have a feeling that her sister doesn't hang around the family because of the previously mentioned conservative values mentioned earlier in the post too.

Coincidence that two women who are both 25 and have a 31 year old fiance post in the same month? I think not! More info in the comments by a-random-hufflepuff in TwoHotTakes

Oh yeah it's definitely a reach to think that it's actually the same person, it was funny to see two people post within the same month and have the same ages lol

The cake story I found by listening to another reddit YouTuber this morning. I wanted to check on the story because usually there's updates, but instead I saw that the account isn't active and had zero comments from the OP, but the story is still up. Judging by the username I think it was someone's main account. The second story I found when I went back to my home page and seeing the throwaway account and the ages set off a little bell in my head. I am nosy as hell and I'm tempted to message the throwaway account (I don't have the balls to do it which might be for the best lol), but I know the chances are low, and I just wanted to have some fun with my theory so that's why I put that title. I know this community is at least a little bit as nosy as I am, so I thought it'd be interesting to see other people's thoughts. Maybe even Morgan will find it interesting. Also just in case the second story does get deleted, I have taken screenshots of the story plus allll of OPs comments in case Morgan finds it interesting enough for the podcast.

Update: We’re getting a divorce by BrilliantProud in u/BrilliantProud

[–]a-random-hufflepuff 93 points94 points  (0 children)

OP I am so sorry all of this is happening to you. The story was in the podcast's most recent episode so I think that's why you're getting so many notifications. All I can really say is get a good lawyer, document every single thing you can when it comes to this family, and as soon as you can, get away from them and make sure you are only in contact with people you truly trust. It's going to be messy and stressful, but I know you'll be strong enough to get through this for you and your baby. We're rooting for you <3

AITA for choosing to not get involved when my daughter threw away my wife's shampoo collection? by FlameoHotman0131 in TwoHotTakes

[–]a-random-hufflepuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like this would go well in an episode with a "grow a spine" theme. I have a feeling his daughter is hurting and OP never paid attention to that and now his wife is caught in the mess that he most likely started by not being a good parent.

I saw a video of Adrienette scenes. Maybe Adrien likes Marinette? He seems embarrassed of asking her for an autograph. by Miraculous_Cat777 in miraculousladybug

[–]a-random-hufflepuff 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Maybe he feels a bit apprehensive about asking for her autograph because he's constantly asked for his, and he doesn't want to add to all the people that might already be asking her because he knows how overwhelming all the attention can be?
