I know a guy who dated around like OP's brother. When his brother got married the wife wanted to name a child (if they had one) "Alicia" and the brother was like 'i dated someone named that. You can't name her that. All his relationships ended badly, so all names of women he had sex with were non grata. The wife said 'Alicia was my grandmother's name and she saved my life.' The parents were like "you dont understand," because he's very sensitive. He's not sensitive. He just thinks the shit is okay because people don't treat him like an adult.

When they started talking about families and he mentioned he had a little brother named xxxx she KNEW she was dating her ex's brother but yet didn't tell him. Why??? Is it because for most people dating someone who dated and slept with their sibling would be a dealbreaker???

@@thomasjoseph5876 The speed of the relationship is up to the people involved, not you or I. The only reason I brought up the length of the brother's relationship is because even the brother stated that he wasn't really into the girl that much, so not even he considered it serious. Regarding my siblings, it's not something I have to worry about because my siblings' taste in women are radically different than mine. But, for me it would be a matter of how serious the relationship was. First, they dated a month in this story, and there is no mention of whether or not they were sleeping together during that time, so that's a red herring argument you've made. If one of my brothers had serious relationship with a woman, even if I found her attractive, I'd not even bring it up so as to not hurt my sibling.

You are the exception, not the rule. It still doesn't change the fact that getting engaged as a high schooler, and getting married two weeks after you graduate isn't the best idea in general. It worked out for you, it doesn't for most. So I really don't understand why it made you 'chuckle', as it seems utterly dismissive of the fact that in general, it's NOT a good idea in these modern times. and outside of religious and cultural reasons, one should really take these decisions seriously enough to give it a bit of time, specifically and especially if one is under the age of 30. You can have a long engagement, there is absolutely no sense in rushing when you are young. I'm glad it worked out for you, and I hope it does for everyone else that makes the decision. But that doesn't mean you get to dismiss all the downsides the decision can have.

Your situation is a rarity and 99% of the time results in a divorce at some point. Being you are only 15 years in, a divorce can still happen. Just saying.

[@emaleemorton2963]

@ScandalizeMyName , it made me chuckle because everyone is so dismissive of the fact that it can work. If someone gets married soon or quickly, people are too fast to jump on the "it won't work out" train. Truth is, marriage is hard work. No amount of time is going to change that. Our society throws the towel in way too fast because we are a society of self-gratification and instant gratification. Neither of which you always get in marriage. My parents dated for years before they were married and still got divorced. I don't think the problem is how long you date before getting married, I think the problem is our societal standards. We are told "self-love and love yourself" or "you do you" ... when you're in a marriage, those things don't work. You should be doing what you can for the other person. True love is selfless, not selfish. When you get married two lives merge into one, you can't go into it expecting nothing to change in your life, which i have seen time and time again. The beautiful thing about marrying young is you build your life together, and you grow together. It can be quite beautiful.

[@ghostcatcoon8175]

So he only dated her for a month and then dipped because he "didn't want to be tied down". Never talked about her to the family, evidence being the family didn't make any comments when they saw the pictures of her or when he told them her name until the pictures got to the brother, and got mad when his brother, who didn't even know about the fact that they had dated, got with her. Listen i get the who never date your siblings ex. But come on, this is really stretching it. They were only together a month and he decided to ditch her, and then got mad when his brother actually got along with her, and decided to marry her? Also the whole, moving too fast comments are a bit silly. Not everyone dates at the same speed, if that works for them. Then kudos.

There's a lot of wisdom in not moving too fast. You only have to look at Mark, who apparently thought he had ownership rights over someone he dated for a month. And if I were Jenn, at some point early on with OP I'd have said, "You know what's interesting, your last name is the same as the last guy I dated," which might have lead to a convo wherein OP would've learned his brother dated this woman and at least he'd be prepared ahead of time for possible drama.

[@mayfl0wers]

Story 1: Mark sounds like a spoiled brat/misogynist. Because how dare a woman find someone else attractive who she unknowingly knew was your brother. Does he have a right to feel uncomfortable that his brother is dating someone he used to date? Yes. Did throwing a temper tantrum and fake proposing to her going to make then break them up? He's real delulu.

I don’t recall knowing the last names of half of the guys I dated in high school. If I knew it to begin with I quickly forgot. And both cases are guys I didn’t date seriously for any significant length of time. And if they (OP and her) met randomly and hit it off in a bar.

A month is barely a relationship, much less become that obsessive with the idea that your brother who lived out of state, had never met her before and didn't even know he was ever dating just happened to meet the girl his brother took out probably a few times. And its so bazaar to think the ex-brother is so arrogant he thinks either a) the girlfriend is so hung up on him that she's dating and marrying the OP to get back at the ex or b) the brother violated some unspoken rule by dating her without knowing they had "history". And yeah, if you categorize that history as a textbook, it doesn't even make a paragraph.

To be fair, you CAN absolutely get to know a person in a very short time period and make a decision on marriage. If you understand the following about a person, you can make a decision: 1. Conflict resolution style 2. Values on Kids 3. Values on Religion 4. Values on Money 5. Boundaries with family 6. Attachment style If you understand these things and negotiate a solution, in the areas where you have conflict, you will be fine.

I wouldn't be surprised if he makes a fuss at the wedding because of another idea from a friend. S2: You can't stop a grown adult from cheating if they want to cheat. It's a character flaw, not something you can take responsibility for. It's really gross that people told Op these things rather than turn their scrutiny towards the one who chose to step out of his marriage.

[@MarkNarrations]

They're a lovely bunch to me

[@sagesaria]

So...OP's brother expects not only that any girl he ever asked out be off limits, but that OP should read his mind? Yeah, that's a no from me bro.

[@bhutehole]

Don't date your siblings ex partners. It always causes problems. There are billions of other people to chose from.

[@Jrskeetpro]

Be careful, every time I write that, I get shit on😂

[@bhutehole]

​@@Jrskeetproit's OK to be able to recognize patterns. These all end the same

[@Jrskeetpro]

@@bhutehole I agree completely. Just too many people defend it. At least this one has the short time frame. Most others are multiple years or life long best friends situations lol

[@shebakoby]

Hmm story 1, if OP was off to be away from his parents, sounds like maybe one or more of them was a Cluster of Bees and Mark may have inherited that (I won't say Mark is the Golden Child as I'm not really seeing signs of it).

I just want to know why Jenn is OK with having forked both brothers. I believe she did know. When women start dating someone, we stalk their social media pages. She mustve known she was dating her exs brother.

[@tabbynakamura]

Not all women do that. The thought to check someone's social media would have never occurred to me, personally, though I know some friends who would definitely do that. Always seems a little weird to me but meh. As far as forking both, they may not have between Entitled Brother and Jenn. They only dated a month so it's just as likely that they had a couple of dates and he got bored.

[@aphelion4616]

Bold of you to assume she 'forked' the first one. have a sneaky suspicion the reason he got 'bored; was because she wouldn't sleep with him.

[@patty-pat-pat]

@aphelion4616 the brother wouldn't be so mad if they didn't. He probably smashed and got bored rather than chase and got bored.

[@patty-pat-pat]

@@tabbynakamura you should definitely vet for your own safety before you meet and date. Why so careless?

[@tabbynakamura]

@@patty-pat-pat I mean, I'm married and have been for awhile but it's probably just not something common in the small town area I'm in.

2nd story. This is Mrs. Rick. Many years ago, I was dumped by "the love of my life", or so I thought. Turned out that the love of his life was him - yup, a Class-A narcissist. He found his true love and dumped me for her, and I was shattered. A year later, I was chuckling to myself, because now SHE was stuck with HIM, and they flat out deserve each other. OP, you have to remember: a cheater left you for another cheater. Cheaters will cheat, and this new, great, love of the ages just might not last. If it does, they just have that much more time to make each other miserable. Either way, you have your best revenge. You have a right to have children, and to have a job. He'd have cheated on you eventually, because he is a cheater. You got out of that marriage cheap. And I hope he's paying the absolute max in child support. Ignore the busybodies who tell you that this was in any way your fault. It wasn't. It was him and the nanny. Good riddance to both.
