My Sister-in-Law Is Jealous of My “Perfect Life” and Wanted To Try to One-Up Me... | Reddit Updates

[@CharliePetricor]

Jess just doomed herself into a miserable life with a man she apparently doesn't even like and a baby she brought into the world just to spite OP, I almost feel bad for her.

[@FaizatheTempest]

The real victim is Jess's kid. That boy is going to grow up feeling unwanted by his mother 😞

[@lkofie6670]

Naw.... I don't. It's a choice she deliberately made and her own decisions led her to where she's at today.

[@ayasoku]

I almost feel bad for Jess, but she set herself up by staying with a man like that.

[@rhiarebecca2000]

Don’t even feel sorry for Jess, she went snooping in order to find out those baby names and she used the name.. she acted like a child and it all backfired on her

[@ThePawerStation]

In a couple of years, in a family gathering, when Jess says something stupid... Op should really come clean about the naming set up. Watching Jess face go pale realizing she got played is going to be amazing. Honestly I don't feel bad for people like Jess. They peaked in HS.

[@justmepercy720]

Whether OP was right in tricking her SIL, it was the SIL who was snooping where she had no right to be. Well done, OP!

[@MariaEduarda-ln2ep]

OP and her husband are just... Couple goals

[@brusselsproutses]

op sounds funny as hell

[@moxvist8206]

I feel bad and dont at the same time for Jess. Tbh she chose to stay in that relationship and set her up herself so

That part ~9:00 really hit home for me. My biological father (with whom I no longer communicate) has a younger brother named after "their" father. My grandma admitted the truth to me before passing away when I confronted her about it, but my father refused to believe the truth, even when told it came from his own mother's mouth. For clarity... even after my parents broke up, my mom kept in contact with my bio dad's mom. She told my mom the truth, which was then relayed to me. That's how my mom and I knew the truth but my bio dad did not...

[@lkofie6670]

Going off of Jess' personality I'd strongly advise her not to say anything about the name set up... just let it be.

"I'm an introvert, I'm not quiet or shy..." So you're an introvert but not an introvert? Then later on "introvert or not I'm not push over, I will stand up for myself" so you're not an introvert, you're just an averagely social person who doesn't know what an introvert or extrovert is.

[@m.a.2658]

No, some of the traits you’re describing aren’t automatically introverted but rather socially anxious or even people pleasing. While many introverts also experience those things they are not one and the same. It sounds like the poster has a perfect handle on what an introvert is tbh

[@duewhat9815]

@@m.a.2658 Just because you're not an extrovert doesn't mean you're an introvert and vice-versa. The literal definition of an introvert is a person who is reserved and shy. To say "I'm an introvert, I'm not quiet or shy" is a literal equivalent to saying "I'm an introvert, I'm not an introvert"

[@m.a.2658]

@@duewhat9815 What you’re saying depends on which dictionary you’re using. But I would say the functional definition people use for an introvert is someone who is introspective and enjoys time alone, preferring more intimate groups of people when they do socialize.

[@duewhat9815]

@@m.a.2658 No it doesn't depend on which dictionary and introspection and an introvert are two different words. Anyone who uses them interchangeably clearly doesn't know what an introvert is. The fact that you're actually trying to argue that someone who ignorantly uses two words interchangeably has a "perfect handle" on the word they used wrong is mind-blowingly stupid. Also, most people don't refer to themselves casually as "introvert" even if they actually are...the only people who do usually only do so because they think it's quarky or cute to be introverted.

[@m.a.2658]

@@duewhat9815 I literally just googled it and one of the results was “a person predominantly concerned with their own thoughts and feelings rather than with external things. ‘introverts seek out and enjoy opportunities for reflection and solitude.’” Sucks to be wrong, but I’m sure you’ll live. All the best!

[@reillycurran8508]

Setting someone up to play themselves ain't an AH move. Nobody is owed the person they're trying to mess with being the bigger person for them. ETA: if it only works because they're the exact kind of jerk that would do the thing you're tricking them with, like stealing baby names, it isn't a dick move

[@lkofie6670]

Yeah, well... whose business is it if or when a couple is "actively trying" for a baby (lol)... just an observation.

[@m.a.2658]

I mean hey, you basically chose the baby’s middle name, so that’s cool

[@trinstonmichaels7062]

Man now that is funny.

[@aquafebiblue93]

I love OP cause we're so similar 😹

[@BrightElk]

My aunt stole what was supposed to be my baby name but I’m kind of glad. I don’t want to be the 1 millionth Olivia in the classroom. Though I feel bad for my mom getting targeted like that. It seems wrong to use your baby as ammunition though. Why use something so personal to hurt someone? So cruel.

[@Bakudeku273]

I’m confused can someone explain what a great-mother-in-law is😅

[@coconut2184]

The husband’s grandma probably

[@MariRose-f1u]
