【Apple】My husband's family expects way too much from me and my family. I've had enough!!

[@brandiedozier1531]

The husband and his parents are the reason they are in that mess 😡

[@sarahwalters1375]

What a sense of entitlement!!! Why is he acting like her parents money should go to his??!!! Thats not their responsibility.... they didn't marry him!!! If situation was reversed would he do the same???

[@TheRoadprincess]

As soon as he said he doesn’t need to pay attention to his spending, I would be out of there!

[@sakilynn]

James: Hmm... Living with my in-laws, and in debt... I need to help my parents while my wife and children continue to suffer! I'll use someone else's money!

[@amberleeannalee1999]

Separate FINANCES ONLY one account to pay bills that’s it

[@torim6334]

Oh my goodness get a divorce, divorce, divorce all ready! Gurrr!

[@conjumonblue6450]

Yup! I'd be on the phone with my lawyer immediately!

[@BearPawSwipe]

12 years?! Nah, that is a deal breaker and immediate divorce. She is just as culpable for her children's damaged lives as he is at that point.

[@Mehp2]

Why didn’t she divorce him sooner when he started using THEIR money, selling THEIR house, and putting them and their KIDS out on the STREETS? I would’ve divorced him.

[@speedmeisterkym6120]

💯 💯 💯 💯

[@savannahbergen4984]

I agree

[@jasonpiggot5997]

This woman is so infuriating. This man screwed over her family, her children, and she still trying to work it out. What a weak, pathetic woman.

[@amberleeannalee1999]

Divorce divorce divorce leave his mommas boy arse. Her ruined their financial situation and he should be in with mommy and daddy forever

[@garnet788]

I don’t see how the wife keeps calling him honey 🤦🏾

[@marieleemcgill5011]

Me too

[@Anonymous98766-e]

I wondering that myself. Honey is a term of endearment and that ship sailed when he put up their house as collateral. In fact that ship was pulling out of port when he gave his parents their kids future money to his parents without telling her.

[@whistlerwind7422]

That would have been a wicked drinking game.

[@tumiemat]

😅😅😅😅I'm so confused

[@teddymanguerra]

So Apple Texts is self-aware that their stories are long and thanks the audience for putting up with it. 😂😂😂

[@KCohere33]

A lot of people like the long stories but some of them do complain over anything longer than twenty minutes

[@BeverleyMcCaffrey-rb4zb]

I some times like long ones

[@marymonson2187]

The writer(s) are really good, I usually don’t like long stories without video with it, but the stories have been really good. When I feel like slapping the antagonist several different times, you know I’m enjoying the story! 😂

[@Trefens]

Lol i can't be the only one who just skips ahead and only listens to about 20 mins Max on 2x

[@riley6740]

Yeah. I like the long ones most of the time but I do find a short one better a few times a month.

[@silveritea]

The second he lost their home would have been when she should have filled out those divorce papers.

[@marieleemcgill5011]

I would not be calling him honey, I had an attorney tell me that husband and wife should have separate accounts wives definitely I learned the hard way

[@draw-budmarkio2675]

Yeah, people really need to learn that marriage doesn’t meant you have to share EVERYTHING, especially on the financial side. There can be a joint account for bills and house repairs, etc and then have separate accounts but, never JUST have one joint account.

[@amberleeannalee1999]

Entitled MUCh? No shame at all. Buy your own family a house

[@mleighqs]

Yeah, that's pretty messed up that a husband and father would throw the family he created under the bus to save a family that I understand raised him, but shouldn't be his main focus.

[@hannahreeser3209]

Nana 2 cents; the kitties, are adorably cute!

[@vene7828]

I don't understand why OP didn't divorce her husband when her husband lost their house. He's putting his parents ahead of his own children. He will never learn. He didn't care if his wife and children were living in cardboard boxes. Shameful behaviour no good husband.

[@catherinemurphy2025]

At the beginning the son that he is one of their sons and the wife also agreed that he had other brothers as well. Then as the story goes along, it suddenly says that he the only son of the parents. What happened to the siblings?

[@Recessbiru]

Crummy writing or maybe husband killed his brothers during the story.

[@darla-wc3iv]

I just..... Can't. Seriously.

[@shawnycoffman]

This is why I advocate a long engagement. Meeting someone and dating for 1 year then marrying one year later is not near enough time to get to know someone.

[@flubadub4464]

It's not up to the husband's in laws ,to keep his mom & dad.

[@youmadhuh6375]

She was there 12 years too long..

[@MareeHughes]

The monument he give the money to his mother and said not important to save for the kid’s future. You should have divorce he.

[@sherrystearns7259]

Why isn't he learning the money. Time to leave this jerk because it should be his money giving to her

[@sherrystearns7259]

This is ridiculously long I do not understand how she let it go so far she should have divorced him quite a while ago

[@littleflame5530]

You dont put a deposit on a home you put a down payment down on the house.

[@sandywatts2078]

😂😂 u do know that if both spouses names are on the deed to the house ( unless one has passed away and you have a legal death certificate)they both have to sign any paper work allowing the house to be used as collateral for someone’s business.

[@dittymargoo]

This story made me so angry with the husband and entitled MIL. But I would have liked to find out what happened during the divorce and after, yeah, I want some comeuppance.

[@arneciachatmon9757]

It would have been a miracle if I had stayed 5 years in that marriage. It was his parent’s fault that they lost everything not hers. Why should they be responsible for their stupid decisions? The moment my parents offered to take care of my children would’ve been the day I filed for divorce. It was obvious that he’s just like his mother, nothing but trouble. 1 room apartment was better than being homeless. Did they ever consider that? At least they still had a roof over their heads. Divorce was the only option she had.

[@cherylcourtney1960]

Divorce him.

[@mariananderson1472]

It all started when she showed him the bank account 😞

[@tovelokiwifeodindottir9936]

I started putting 1k$ in savings accounts for each of my kids from the moment they were born. So did my grandmother until the day she passed. Now my mom and husband contribute.

[@seabreezeblank1513]

And if the school system is so bad that you have to pay for private tutors for everything then put them in private school it'll be cheaper

[@ekati1993]

Girl enough!You are more frustrating than James at this point.

[@Ronald-k6s]

If I were her parents I would have told the Husband that my Daughter and Grandkids are staying with us and he can go live with his parents and we are getting our daughter a DIVORCE Lawyer.

[@speedmeisterkym6120]

OMG LEAVE HIM!!!! HE EXPECTS HER Parents to bail HIS parents out!!!! She shud have left AFTER the 2nd debacle

[@helenwoodrum2383]

Wait, his parents had a bed and furniture. So they have a rented house that that bed and furniture could go into. Why did she wait so long to divorce him?

[@Anonymous98766-e]

When it comes to family, lend equals give.

[@redconvoy]

If a business is going bad, they need to shut it down and file bankruptcy, not bankrupt their kids!

[@ediamondsounds]

He and the mil have zero empathy. She needs to kick him out before she has nothing left at all. Seriously he should go live with his parents on their floor lol

[@ediamondsounds]

Frustrating she didn't already see what the spouse is doing

[@amberleeannalee1999]

I think he should give it to HER

[@ItsJadine]

Husband is bending over backwards for parents that won’t even babysit?! OP really put up with a lot… I don’t understand how the MIL can be so entitled and have no shame about her son, DIL and two young children lost their home because of her! Insane… I wish the other siblings not helping because they knew their parents are failures was included but still enjoyed the story ❤

[@pamelacharbonneau3115]

Mil is a gold digger.

[@renshelby-xw5yu]

Just when the story was getting good........."AFTER THAT!"😢

[@francessweeney2308]

James; you have a wife and children who need you. Grow a pair and tell your mummy to fix her own mess. Her business went down the tubes because of what she did; she's a grown woman, she could contact a business consultant to fix it. Unless the cause is fixed, she'll just continue to throw good money after bad.

[@leiatyndall8648]

Get divorced. He can live w/ his mommy & daddy & take care of them, & she can move in w/ her parents for a time & they can keep their money, w/ none of it going to his parents. Sever the finacial flow from her parents to his. He'll never stop, otherwise.

[@paulredinger5830]

He couldn’t use the house without her knowing if she was on the deed. She’d have to sign off on it too.

[@ediamondsounds]

Omgosh 40:15 yet he wants them to cover his parents too, he is a brat. His parents have a roof he doesn't get it Get him out. This is so beyond what someone should deal with from a spouse. He's such a selfish mommas boy yet he is still forking out money to them. To him his kids aren't even a priority. 5 months later they are still together!?? Omgosh Wth

[@jackieunderwood4893]

Honey, this is too stupid to listen to the end. Thanks Honey. don't mention it honey...

[@ediamondsounds]

I'd divorce. He will do this at again, he is basically stealing from her parents money if that makes sense. His parents can deal with their own situation as they have a family separate technically. He is going on and on, I would be done, I would be so done. She needs to protect herself and her kids and get out immediately. He's prob off cheating If this crap is not in her name, she needs to leave stat get out stat and don't look back. Don't take any money from her parents and get out

[@jonborchardt5548]

Me: 🎵When OP first met James / he seemed like a nice guy / but once they tied the knot / he gave in to greed / all of their money was spent on his parents / a decade's too long to spend with that kinda family / but just like the eagle and the hawk / she'll finally fly / put James in the ex-files / and then she'll be free🎵 (to the tune of the John Denver song ''The Eagle And The Hawk'') Aliens: Did somebody say X-Files?

[@lorannamoody7011]

❤

[@arthapend]

54:08 Then what contribution do your family bring to this "family cooperation"?

[@emilysclone]

Just skip to the last 3-4 minutes. What's the point of even telling the story when your summerising the entire thing in the epilogue?

[@LoveOnTheInsidex3]

I agree

[@Ronin.Samurai]

No, the story is completely fine. If you don’t like it, then go watch something else and get lost snowflake.

[@BeatriceCowley-x4p]

She put up with this 12 years ? Why? Just why

[@seabreezeblank1513]

You borrowed money from your mom to put away for college money for your kids in the future You're both fools and neither one of you should have control over the money get separate accounts and each of you get bills to pay and that's it no combined money You each have to put money into savings and get an adult oversee both of your bank books

[@Mama_of_a_dragon]

Scammers! Also, who are these people with parents with vast amounts of savings and assets who come to the rescue? I know these stories are fairy tales but come on.

[@darianroscoe1017]

How did the wife not know she was signing their house away…she would have read the paperwork before signing it. I just don’t get this, it is a flaw in the story and the beginning of the downfall of their household. That really needed to be fixed. And what happened to his siblings that were mentioned early in the story? Did they all die in some unmentioned traffic accident…. Certainly they could have contributed monies toward their parents. You apologize for this story being lawn, but it would’ve been much shorter. If you had paid attention to the flaws in the story such as the missing siblings, the wife admitted she signed paperwork to turn over the house to his parents creditors and yet somehow didn’t know about it in the story acting like it was a big surprise when telling her parents. This story was just stupid, wasn’t proofread at all.

[@wilmahunt]

Proofreading? What is that? Editing, continuity of story? Why even bother with spelling and grammar!

[@TrashBunBun]

57:27 to skip the repeat

[@marieleemcgill5011]

I would not be calling him honey, I had an attorney tell me that husband and wife should have separate accounts wives definitely I learned the hard way Let his mother and father get out there and work. I know a lot of people that still work in their 70s get off your lazy butt and work.

[@LinkDrako]

This is a horrible ending. We didn’t get to see the fallout just an explanation.

[@tumiemat]

Why wont OP just be honest...im tired of her...

[@elizabethrossi7604]

UGH...I can't EVEN! WHY go through the ENTIRE storyline at the END?! Wasted space and time. Thanks.

[@dragonyami]

Why don't we get to SEE her confront him with the divorce?! Why is it just in the summary?! You guys keep doing these long videos that drag on and on, and then put all the INTERESTING parts only in the summary?! Ffs please stop doing that!! Disliked

[@seabreezeblank1513]

Oh my God he's Kamala He's got a word salad

[@jessicawolfe5861]

Insanity

[@eleanorflynn7772]

These don't need to be this long. I'd love a good long revenge/comeuppance story, but with all these incredibly long videos it's just forty minutes of the protagonist putting up with rubbish and then the last five minutes wanting a divorce. It doesn't feel satisfying. Having the husband begging for forgiveness and consequences of the divorce WITHIN the story instead of brushed over in the 'After That' section would be much more improving in my opinion, and you could cut so much needless rehashing. I appreciate the effort that goes into these videos, but I'd appreciate them more if I saw any of said effort.

[@sallymuhl846]

My god this dragged on. I'm afraid I got too bored.

[@AuthorAnnaCatanzariti]

Please stop recapping the story at the end

[@patriciaesbenson4617]

These are ridiculous
