In the second story, there are actually privacy laws regarding cameras in private residences. That mother in law likely broke the law by doing so without the consent of the op and the husband, and the excuse of “I was just worried” won’t hold up in court.

[@anyaarcadia9166]

For people still lingering, Story 4 has an update: OP stopped feeling that they possibly should feel guilty due to the original post. Their dad repeatedly showed up from April to about August talking to her and her sister in a "baby talk voice", first visiting for her sister's bday and winning her and their mom over with gifts and words. OP called him out on his blatant flakiness and being a coward who ran instead of fix things cause that takes actual effort...and he takes her sister and mom out for dinner in July. On her birthday. Without her. Saying she doesn't understand "Daddy loves her" Mom and sis are still blaming OP now that he's silent again but now OP is confident they're in the right

[@Reaper-bd9bl]

[@aziris7257]

I don't understand why people want to hold weddings that is way out of their means. It's bad enough that some people take loans to have their dream weddings. But to be completely funded by a family member while that family member has no say in how the money is spent? That's jerk move right there. Rich people remain rich because they use their money well. They know the best value for their money and do not waste things on stuff they can't afford to acquire. If it was me, I would say, "Nuh-uh. You want me to pay for everything, then I decide everything. You don't want me to decide, then I will only pay a quarter, you fork the rest of the money on your own."

[@seraglioborneo2803]

Story 1... As much as I love my siblings, if I was treated like that I would pull my money out and tell the bride's family if they want to look perfect for their own family and friends, they should pay for it, if op's brother doesn't understand that and gets mad, he's as bad as them... Story 3... I find hilarious when people try to humiliate others, it backfires and then they sulk. It gets worse when people are aware of the entire story and then turn against the person attacked first...

Story 1: OP is not a jerk, and she should stand her ground. People with a lot of money are often the ones who are taken advantage of. Story 2: Not a jerk. OP, your mother-in-law is a nutjob who literally broke the law. Forget about banning her, call the cops on her. Story 3: Not a jerk. It's a huge red flag when a guy needs things like mustaches or guns to feel masculine. I can imagine OPs sister puts her through a lot of similar crap. Story 4: Not a jerk. It's on dad for walking out and refusing to have contact with his family instead of trying to maintain a healthy relationship with them.

Story 1: just tell them, "If you don't want me to involve, then I won't pay for anything (any, but not all of it)." That's it. To her, they were the jerk first. Her money belongs to her only, and she had all the right to demand what she wants when they want to use her money for whatever they wanted to do.

[@1mol831]

True, but question is, why would he want to ask his sister to fund his own wedding? Well anyways, I don't understand how people can afford getting married nowadays unless you earn more than $450K per year (350K pounds per year). And you'd like to marry someone who earns equal amount as you do. You really don't have anything to spare unless you earn half a million per year because over 50% will go to direct and indirect taxes, and then there are utilities, thus, 175k pounds remaining and after utilities offset for family unit it would only be 100k pounds per year, which you can't really do much with after you consider a home will cost 3 million pounds, which means you will need to save for 15 years as a couple even with this base earnings for marriage.

[@varto07]

I had a similar situation with my aunt about hair. In our last family meeting, my aunt, a woman who is known for having a volatile attitude, literally pointed at me and laught, saying how i was beggining to go bald. (i´m 40 and my father was bald, i´m really surprised my hair lasted that long) so i said "Well, that was not a nice thing to say. I mean, we all can see your mustache but nobody is saying anything about it, are we?" Aaaand she exploted, as she always does and suddenly i´m supposed to apologise to her.

[@1987MartinT]

1st story: If she's paying for EVERYTHING at the wedding she should be involved in the wedding as more than just the one who finances it. 2nd story: You do not have the right to spy on people in their own home. 3rd story: People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. If you can't stand people making fun of your body hair then don't make fun of their body hair. 4th story: If you don't remember someone you don't remember them. It's not an insult. That's just how it is.

I had a very similar situation to the last story. It’s almost exactly the same. My parents are divorced and so my father and I were like, for a lack of better words, penpals. One day, I realized that I didn’t remember his voice, what he looked like, nothing. Then we slowly stoped talking. Years later he tries to come back into my life and immediately hugs me. This makes me extremely uncomfortable and I express that to him but this keeps happening for days. Eventually I just decided to cut contact with him all together and am planning on getting my last named changed (it’s his last name and he caused me to have PTSD so I just want to get away from that). So not the same but fairly similar to a certain degree.

If the brother in law can't take people talking about him don't talk about others.

[@RetroPanda13]

Story 1 : Clearly the sister-in-law considers OP as the ATM, she's a gold digger and clearly shows that outside of money, she doesn't even try to consider OP as nothing more than a wallet for her to get stuffs. OP should consider cutting any funds towards her and also make sure the entire family knows that SiL said that she didn't want OP to be at the wedding to begin with and that it hurt her feelings to not be considered family after all the supports and money she gave her.

[@samheld4550]

I was not prepared for that Cleveland Brown voice in story 4 lmao

[@estaticethan1752]

First story: The Sister is not a jerk. Although there's a common rule, for me at least, is to simply do a good thing and don't expect anything of it. However in this situation, the sister is the victim and the sister-in-law as well as her family are the ones doing the wrong doing and they had her brother involve with it. Story 2: That Mother-in-law has broken a law so great, i don't think she'll ever get to see her son again. Sure he's a concerned mother, But you don't have to go to such extreme lengths to put a camera in OP and her Husband's bedroom, without the forethought of breaching in privacy. Third story: Oh my god, does this guy have a screw loose and his wife blaming the OP, her sister, to apologize to an older man, even though the older man should have a better mental stability. And why do he have to comment, when hair can grow on his legs as well. That doesn't make a lick of sense at all. Also, maybe everyone is a bit of a jerk, mostly the sister and the OP. Last story: Not a Jerk. Rather it's the Father's fault for leaving the family and the family acting so irrationally. Remember, not many people can remember their memories the earlier you go down the line.

[@lukaskrall5318]

Story 1: At that point i would demand my money back so they can make their dream wedding within their available price range. After a big apology and involvement in the planning I would maybe contribute a little but never pay for the entire wedding. Story 3: Age does not earn respect. Story 4: Being the biological father does not mean anything. If I was adopted I wouldn’t care about meeting my biological parents because if they were never there for you they are not your parents.

[@ItzSalve]

Story 3: Why tf does she need to apologise?? If someone should apologise it’s the brother in law!! I can’t believe the sister has the audacity.

for the last 2 stories I wonder if these people even understand the word hypocrite. the brother-in-law started making fun of the op's hair and she made fun of him back and yet he is the only one who "suffered emotional damage" The father left for 8 years but apparently that is nothing toward the emotional damage of the op telling him he was forgotten. the fact that these people get so butt-hurt when anyone says anything to them even if they literally did the same or worse to someone else is very reminiscent of r/entitled

I feel awkward round my dad as he’s a man who the only reason he is I’m my life is because of genetics. I don’t really know him and I’ve probably spent more time with my caving club over the past year then I have with him my entire life.

The last story (4th). I don't have to imagine myself. My father vanished when I was 9 months old (I'm 35 btw). My siblings were 9 and 10 years old. No contact no nothing. Then he appeared when I was 24 years old. Me having two kids, and I was like the OP of that story expresionless. I didn't know the guy. My mom died 9 years before he reapeard, just for the contex. My sister also missed him, and wanted for me to have a relationship with him, but I said no thanks you. He passed away couple of years ago. Never tried to make any contact with me or my oldest brother. I know from my counsin (older then me) that he pretty much thought that we would cry and hug, and all that stuff, and when that didn't happen he backed up again. So that being said the OP is not a Jerk. He is an adult who made the decision to leave, and now he has to face the consequences of these actions. We learn to live without people. OP had to learn in from a young age, and you can't force anybody to be happy to see a person that is pretty much a stranger. Her sister is 19 so she remembers more but I don't see OP at fault here. She stated her point, and if he can't take it, he might as well had something or someone for those 8 years, and after it's gone he just tries to crawl to his "safe space." In my opinion this is what he may had wanted, and OP voicing her point of view on the matter showed him clearly that it will not be as easy cut as just saying 'sorry' and crying a bit. But as I said it's just my point of view. Still OP is Not the Jerk.

[@justinchristoph3725]

Story 1: The OP helped out her future brother, paying for his master's degree, the wedding, her sisters education in the U.S. and multiple rounds of IVF for the SIL? If I was the SIL, I would be bending over backwards to involve the OP in the wedding. I've seen this happen with families who are poor when one of their members becomes well off; they start expecting them to fund everything because they have the money. Frankly, I think the brother has started to expect that it's the OP's obligation to make his life easier. I'm pretty sure that if they get in over their heads financially, they will try the bank of OP again, then get furious when told no.

[@Nobody-bq1so]

The first one. I get that they should have included O.P, but the they shouldn't have been paying for the wedding if they wanted something in return. You either pay because you want to, or don't. If they wanted to get something in return, that should have been clear from the start

[@tevynetaylor3623]

I don't think they wanted something in return but this is a family event why should they not be apart of it especially when they are paying for the whole thing. They don't want to be treated like a ATM and don't forget the brother is their only relative and they were having financial problems.

I'm 35 and when I heard my "fathers" voice for the first time in 7 years last year(was 34 then so 27 last time I heard from him then)on the phone, I didn't recognize it. Toxic family situation.

[@LunaNatz]

Story 1: I'm also in Northern Ireland, the OP is not the jerk. The average wedding cost here is approx £25k and for 100 people they've got more than enough money from OP. The least brother could have done is ask OP to be the the best man. The wedding here is about the bride and groom. The bride clearly doesn't give a damn about her partner's family. If you can't afford the majority of wedding costs you either reduce the size or hold off until you can. What I want to know is what job OP have where they're earning £150k a year without a degree?? I have a degree and just about make £21k 😂
