New Update: My Brother-in-Law Enjoys Being a Jerk and Insulting Others...

[@fallowfloof]

His being honest was throwing a tantrum over someone grieving a lost loved one. You would think that Sarah's entire family hating him would tell her how mean he really is, but I guess not.

[@shanel4294]

Common denominator moment

[@booey_says]

"A lebsian told him straight" 🤣🤣🤣

[@spamachuchan8824]

And that darn recorder 😂😂😂😂

[@FelicesWondrous]

OBSESSED with the side plots of the recorder and mom & MIL friendship

[@ThePawerStation]

tbh... Sarah will realize she is almost isolated and will start blaming Steve for everything (Or maybe that happened during december and that's why Steve behaved in the christmas reunion). The dude is only getting christmas and birthday calls from his family. It's sad and he is taking his wife to the same path. Isolated and bitter.

[@skeletonorchestra1504]

I hope it hits her right in the face when the love goggles she has are lifted and she realizes that Steve has gotten himself (and her) minimal contact with two different families and it isn't them overreacting.

[@mannydcbianco]

When Sarah and Steve gets divorced, and it will happen sooner or later, she will come crawling back.

[@maddiemcnugget1076]

Well on the bright side she isn't his wife. In the beginning, OP says he's a long term boyfriend.

[@captainjoy8976]

Or they blame everyone else like they already have.. I know a few people like that..

[@mannydcbianco]

It's funny. People who love to "tell it like it is" no matter who it hurts or offends can never take it when the tables are turned. They love to dish it out, but they can't take it.

[@max4377jk]

So Steve's own family abandon him and Sarah witnessed it in First Person and thinks everyone else is the problem

[@pupuntold]

My acquaintance died back in 2019 and I'm not quite over it. Let ppl grieve

[@caciatriggs4855]

My cousin died ab 9 yrs ago, it’s still a hard topic for my family. Grief doesn’t go away, it just gets easier to deal with, tho there are still bad days

[@pupuntold]

@caciatriggs4855 i hope you're doing well though

[@WolfMoon532]

My older cousin lost her husband almost 2 years ago and she’s never been the same. I have a cousin who was killed by a reckless driver almost 3 years ago. I still get choked up thinking of him. I had a family friend (neighbor and good friend to all of us) who passed at 20 almost ten years ago. My sister grieved her for years, we still talk about her and bring up her old jokes. That same sister had a baby last year and gave the baby her name as a middle name to remember her by. People mourn in their own time, and yes, time makes it easier to get through the days, but sometimes that grief will sneak up on you. Sometimes you see a reminder. Sometimes you want to tell them something. Sometimes it’s totally random.

[@MelodyRose96]

"Taking the high road" doesn't always work. Sometimes, you need to go down to someone's level to talk face to face. Steve is the one tearing the family apart, not op or her wife, not even sarah and her mom. I feel bad for Sarah, because Steve is so toxic he's made her radioactive. He's isolating her, and it really sucks, but until Sarah sees Steve for what he is, op doesn't need to be around them.

[@mannydcbianco]

I would say that taking the high road _rarely_ works. It only offers temporary peace at the expense of the victims of abuse, while enabling the offenders to keep doing what they're doing, and even get worse.

[@HylianWolfMage55]

I hope if OP updates again, we get a conclusion to the recorder mini-arc.

[@screamyposum]

Right!? I’m invested in the recorder drama lol

[@FreyjaRKim]

I'm so obsessed with the recorder mini-arc. Here's to hope there shall be another update 😂

[@kooriicolada]

i hope many years down the line it turns into a band practice mini arc 😂

[@theexpertbc1175]

Bro even the mans own family dont want to put up with his bs. I dont blame OP and hers for deciding enough is enough. Sarah will learn that its lonely as hell to be with someone who's "honest" to the point where no one wants anything to do with him.

[@yujunn]

Steve ruined his relationship with both families so hopefully sarah will come to her senses one day and drop him for a chance to reconcile with her family And yea she should do this even if steve changes cuz her family is more important and steve probably needs to find a new family to build bridges with

[@Speedy9530]

My two best friends died when I was 14. I’m now 27. Sometimes all I wanna do is talk to them and tell them about my life, But I can’t and it hurts all the time.

[@Frog-dn9lp]

the hate for the recorders is so real

[@Faith-we8wv]

Kay handled that so well, I lost a friend 10 years ago and I still grieve over her to this day. I would have attempted real harm to Steve if he said that to me.

[@christinedomagala3781]

7:11 There is a fine line between “taking the high road” and being a doormat. Once in a blue moon, taking the high road is fine, but if no one calls him out on it, he’s going to think his behavior is okay and he can treat people however he wants and no one is going to do anything about it. Especially for a mother, she enabled this behavior especially since she didn’t put a stop to it when she should’ve. Plus, by his logic, Kay can say she’s just “telling it like it is”, or does it only count if Steve does it? Honestly, don’t dish out what you can’t eat yourself. My ex was like that, saying he’s “just an asshole telling it like it is”, when he used that as an excuse to be abusive to everyone around him and would throw massive toddler temper tantrums when someone called him out on it. His mother did the same thing as your mother and enabled it as that was who he was, even when he treated her like shit. No OP. Sadly, people like that have always thought they could say whatever they want and other people have to accept it with no repercussions. And then when they do, they’re the victim. People with that mentality have a hard time changing if they ever do.

[@DeneM]

I love how all amongst it there was the Saga of the recorder LOL

[@cjtorres5917]

Now imagine Steve being elected president of a large country with a huge military. There's no way to go low contact. The tantrums and the whining, the malignant narcissism, all multiplied by 1,000. Welcome to 2025.

[@TheColorHopeIsBlue]

YEP.

[@maddiemcnugget1076]

I just need the update where Sarah realizes Steve is ruining her life and isolating her from her family and breaks up with him. Then slowly heals her relationship with OP, Kay, and Jack (though I can see Kay being the last one to forgive her. With good reason too) Of course there could be another side of this where OP is a golden child and Sarah was always the black sheep. Steve is just an angry dude, but his insults are secretly what Sarah wants to say to her family and in reality, Sarah needs to get away from her family. Though this probably is not the case if Sarah is saying stuff like "you happy you won you (bad word for gay or lesbian)"

[@shanel4294]

I neeed the update on their relationship

[@Mymchris]

Ah, my daily paper 😭

[@SandraNelson063]

I took recorder in music class in elementary school. Of course we couldn't take them home. Our families were spared the horror. 😅

[@reneeharper84]

I'm glad the families are coming together! It sucks for Sarah, but it sounds like she's just as crappy and toxic as Steve so they're great for each other and they can eff off. Oof....hopefully they can get rid of the recorder somehow lol

[@how_about_naw]

The "high road" could literally still be in hell since that Steve stoops so low.

[@camieeallen2579]

I really want to know what he said to the brothers wife lol

[@DoryTales]

Kay courageously spoke out against Steve, confronting his disrespectful behavior within the family. While this might bring initial tension, Kay demonstrated steadfastness and a commitment to her values. By doing so, she not only stood up for herself but also helped the family set necessary boundaries. With her straightforward and sincere approach, she established an important precedent, proving that sometimes, to maintain happiness and respect, one must bravely confront unfairness.

[@leolovesdragons3754]

The pettyness towards recorders is so valid. I hated those things in elementary school and if it wasn't the deciding factor for my grade in music, would have refused to touch the damn thing lol

[@GarfieldsRants]

Steve's rude and disrespectful behavior creates unnecessary tension within the family. His refusal to acknowledge boundaries and attempts to manipulate situations, such as forcing Kay to apologize or trying to control parenting decisions, show a lack of respect for others. Additionally, his toxicity not only strains his relationship with his girlfriend Sarah but also disrupts family harmony, indicating that his actions are mainly about controlling the narrative and seeking attention rather than building genuine relationships.

[@TheSolidMidgetOfficial]

If I had a Steve in my group and he told me to get over my dead friend... 4 people will have to drag me off from him.

[@somewhatstraight]

i’m invested in the recorder arc

[@byronic-heroine]

Dad ftw with the perfect dad joke for the occasion

[@peebisboons812]

she was taking the high road from the beginning. anything else would've been a dysfunctional form of peacekeeping. people need to learn what the natural consequences are to their actions.

[@thisisafilleracc3140]

the mum siding with steve to "keep the peace" only resulting in things being cleanly torn in two... how come these so-called people pleasers are always trying to please the wrong people, lol

[@jgraaay18]

Because they're cowards and it's easier.

[@bobbihearn6168]

Maybe i read a post about what steve said to his SIL....idk but there was a story where the groom's brother made a slide show of the bride and began to openly mock her weight at her wedding reception. Groom and brother got into a fight, and it ended with the groom going NC with his brother after the brother refused to apologize. Idk, could be it lol that's be funny if it was

[@bobbysama4794]

Funny enough I was bingeing all your vids yesterday and am super thrown off hearing the story again 💀

[@pixieverr]

That kind of people piss me off BADLY, guess what? You're not being honest, you're just being an asshole and that's why no people like to be around you or even tolerate you at the slightest, do better as a human being because that behavior only says that you weren't raised correctly

[@camerakitty8167]

Huh. You think Steve's family ever posted about the incident? It's kinda sounding familiar.

[@oliver2896]

I LOVE U SO MUCH SCALINGSTORIES HELLOOOO

[@blackrose4101]

theres being honest and then theres being a prick, being honest yous till have to consider the other persons feelings and make it clear that its not your aim to hurt them but in this case he liked hurting people so that's not being honest that's being a dick simple really and if the sister cant see that then let her sleep in the bed she made just like him, I'm sure she will see the mistake shes making.
