It’s wild that Mark went from villain to NPC while Mom went from NPC to main villain.

[@Thanatossssx]

Mom really dwarfed Mark from boss to mini boss lol

[@HippieInHeart]

100 % true lmao. That woman absolutely does not deserve to be called a mother. Being a parent is about more than just giving birth, and she absolutely and completely failed at that.

[@maryamalkhalaf2252]

[@redcell9636]

I like how the two brothers essentially "agreed to disagree" and mutually decided Mark was not attending the wedding, to be as amicable as possible. The mother is the one who didnt respect boundaries at all.

[@ChaplainRaziel01]

It’s literally the mom who’s keeping the drama alive because she thinks her precious golden child is being “punished unfairly”, but Mark doesn’t want to be In the wedding. Not unless Mark is saying something behind closed doors and Dad the enabler is not reigning in his delusional wife.

[@thePsiMatrix]

It sounds like he is. He's trying to 'stay out of it' but he's the cause of this. And Dad is definitely leaning to be as delusional as the Mom ( 21:43 )

Honestly with ops upbringing I’m surprised he never snapped and decided to actually earn his punishment for being a “bad role model”. It might just be my anger issues as a kid but I feel like at any point the having to sign over the car it the point I would have snapped no matter what. Mark would have grown up learning to fear me when angry as I would basically hulk out as a kid luckily I’ve calmed down since then.

[@Kaltar_]

Thats what my dad is like. I told him he was a bad father and he said "why are you still holding that above my head" first of all i never told him that before and secondly he never stopped

[@McButtsTheCrimeDog]

My favorite part of this is Mark literally owned up to his mistake and was like this is obviously over and i get it and i don't wanna go to the wedding. And the mom is like "Nah fuck you you're going."

[@publiusventidiusbassus1232]

Mark didn't really own up to anything. He just announced he would quietly sulk out of view and was still against OP being happy, instead of making a scene every other day. He's still acting like a total spoiled narcissistic child. Basically sees women as toys, and even if he doesn't want them, his brother shouldn't have them either.

[@Maria-wi1pj]

The thing is that I don't even think the mother has pressured Mark into attending, she just wants to control op and is mad on Mark's behalf even if Mark couldn't care less

What completely baffles me is that mark uninvited himself. Their mother had literally no point in fighting to invite him because he wouldn’t show up regardless. She assaulted his fiancee and excused Mark’s attempt at ruining her son’s happiness for literally no reason. She needs more than family therapy, she needs specific personal therapy to look into why shes so delusional. I think she’s genuinely ill. Their father is an enabler and needs to acknowledge when his wife is doing wrong and needs help working on that as well, but he’s not as mentally concerning as her. Mark is unfortunately the product of favoritism and while he could attempt to be amicable, he doesn’t understand what’s wrong because he’s always enabled, excused, and given what he wants. He needs a grip on reality, but their mother needs to be locked up either behind bars or in a mental hospital for a little while to understand shes not being “treated” like a villain, she IS a villain.

OP's mother is a narc and his father enables her. Mark unfortunately is a product of his upbringing but seems less toxic than their parents, if only slightly less. Jenn and OP deserve to be happy, and glad they figured out what to do in the end. Hopefully the mother doesn't fall off at the deep end and take things to the extreme but she's a narcissist, she's "never at fault".

[@theanominous]

@@FlamesAndShadows I theorize that when a woman cheats, her heart belongs to her affair partner but she wants the comfortable life her husband provides as a backup plan. So she continues her version of love through the child that she and her affair partner created. Like I said it’s a theory, because I truly don’t know if a cheater is even capable of loving someone else besides themselves.

Man are people's attention spans so short...

OOP leaves state for college and cuts contact with toxic parents. Jenn, only dated Mark for a month because Mark "got bored" of a relationship. Oop meets Jenn when he moves back into state, and only reestablishes contact for his sisters, and isn't aware mark dated jenn, bc he was no contact with the family. Mark is still sort of a shitty brother golden baby boy, mommy dearest assaults Jenn in epic tantrum, and Daddy dearest is an enabler. Still see golden boy Mark as their baby who can do no wrong. Oop and Jenn decided to finally cut out his toxic brother, parents, and family. Sisters, aunt, and uncle are still good.

I think the only viable solution would've been to get OP, Mark, and the mother in a room and have OP directly ask him if he wants to go. If Mark has been honest, he'll have the same response and the mother will be forced to hear that she is trying to hurt her golden child by trying to get him into the wedding. If Mark has been dishonest, he'll have to maintain the lie with either OP or the mother, thereby revealing his manipulation to the other. This is good for the mother as her golden child will have blatantly lied to her, or good for the OP as his brother will actively prove that he should have his contact cut as well.

Yes, that mom is absolutely toxic and narcissistic and OP is right to cut off her and anybody that enables her but it didn't have to escalate to this degree if Mark had just sent a text to his mom saying he didn't even want to go to the wedding and to lay off. Mark will publicly fake a proposal, embarrassing himself and everyone there but he won't call his mom to cool off a situation he started. When shit hit the fan, that's when he wanted to stay out of it. The fake proposal was probably a twisted blessing in disguise cause at least OP found out sooner than later that his parents are still horrible but Mark couldn't act like a good brother just that once. If I was OP, I'd also go no contact with Mark.

I love your content, I shouldn’t be as hooked to these stories as I am lol, but if I may give some constructive criticism, I think it would help with clarity if you use a different color for the subtitles when you do an editors note, I often just read the text instead of listening and it can get confusing, keep up the great work though!!

[@IamW4RL0RD]

Holy shit I remembered hearing the story before the big update and Jesus Christ that woman is a terrible mother. How the fuck do you think making your older son give your younger son his car is ok? That’s just fucking awful Edit: Also as bad as it is I hope his sisters get fed up of their parents too. None of them deserved the treatment they got growing up and now that all this has gone down with the sisters making their support for OP clear, I have a feeling their mom will be going after them too

[@readerdragon7783]

People typing in the comments because they only read the title and didn't see the video (which explained they dated for only a month and that MARK had broken up with her).

[@drjonesey5]

Bro code. Month or 3 weeks, don't matter. Was destined for drama due to not following the bro code.

[@nathanmello4407]

​@@drjonesey5- More like childish behaviour is the cause

[@Poodle_Gun]

No, the title said all I needed to know. Two brothers fucked the same girl. I feel sorry for the kind of people who think this is normal.

[@sharkeatinpizza]

​@@drjonesey5imagine still believing in that bro code shit lmao

[@DelTunk]

Mark is definitely depressed from the way he acts

[@kanto555]

You even have updates? U arre definitely the best Reddit stories channel

[@verygooddeal4436]

fr. doesnt have a narrator with an annoying voice, and has clear transitions that say when it's the next update or something. and best of all, it doesn't give their own opinion that i never asked for

[@heatherboz]

This mother is very unhinged, i can't stand when parents do this to their children. That mother needs help bad Edit: i get the father wants to keep family a family, but the things his mother said are unforgivable. She can't come back from what she said

[@jbrake-kp5gj]

Yo I'd never do my friends like that let alone my brother op from story 1 is a monster

[@nikolas4786]

bro, dating the ex of a brother is the dumbest thing a man can do

[@Mitchell2311]

Glad this story got a update

[@slyjetprime5614]

The mom needs to get over the fact that it’s the brother that uninvited himself. Op could reinvite his brother and he could still turn down the invitation. Mom needs to stop

[@errwhattheflip]

Nah that's wild. The parents are just legitimately bad. It would be interesting to get perspective as to why they so blatantly preferred Mark over their other children, but either way it doesn't matter.

[@tomasjallen]

The mistake OP did when talking to his mother was focusing on the not invited part. He should have focused the discussion on Mark not wanting to be there and thereby making an invitation obsolete.

[@WhackyRavenLand]

I would never have a relationship with the ex of a close friend, let alone a family member. Even if neither myself and/or the ex didn't know about the relations in question, the relationship would end right away.

[@Snuffedstar2004]

How in the sweet hell does a mother forget that her own child is allergic to shellfish? And also tbe brother has no right to be pissed when he dumped his ex.

[@JBMVoid]

mark definitely golden child of mother

[@Omega_1111]

It is *really* weird to hook up with, date, and then marry your brothers ex, some would even say in poor taste or wrong Doesn't really excuse behaviors here though

[@somsoegel4782]

the upside down parkour is crazy

[@andreasul2608]

That mother's narciccism is on a whole new level.

[@cathydevilgoddess]

" nice names" got me bc it means ops fiance cussed ops mom out

[@alaindupuy9810]

I always find it weird that when stuff happens in other family's between 2 people. Op's tend to say they get loads of messages from other family members like what the hell. What do others have to do eith it. Its just sad

[@haziqsaffari9893]

Lets see if mom and dad sticking to Mark would bring them benefit in their later years.

[@miceltusav88]

I'll never understand why people make proposing a public spectale. It puts unwanted pressure on the one being proposed to. Yeah, do it in public, but in a way that the one you propose to doesn't feel pressured to say yes

[@drjonesey5]

99% of the time women are being proposed to, no exageration that just is. I can agree with you on that however judging by the norm of the occurance it's only an issue for some but you're stating it as if it's an issue in of itself. Many proposals have been done in public and the women loved it. So for me although I get where you're coming from, I see this more of a woman to woman basis issue and not a "it's bad by default". Many women have said no during public proposal, so the pressure didn't stop them, many women have said yes and been fine. But those few whom say yes and don't mean yes or say no because the pressure made them nervous, is that who were are judging public proposal by? if so it's not a logical stance to take. I proposed in private on a 3 day weekend trip with just me and the wife, good hotel, candle light and such. But not because of pressure, I knew she would say yes, we're just both private people. First thing she did was tell her family, mine already knew I was going to.
