Am I the a-hole for telling

0:02

my husband to stop supporting

0:04

his adult daughter? So what

0:07

do you think about like parents supporting?

0:09

I don't think you have to stop supporting but there's

0:11

probably like a Like

0:14

a line. Yeah, we're chat. Let me know where the

0:16

line is. What do you guys think the line is?

0:18

Yeah, I 47

0:21

female and very frustrated about this and I'm

0:23

thinking long and hard and want to know

0:25

if my feelings are valid My

0:28

husband 54 male keeps supporting his

0:30

daughter 27 female who's a

0:32

single mom Currently the daughter

0:34

lives with her mom and is asking for him to help

0:37

Non-stop might it be simple or

0:39

not? I Stop working

0:41

for a while due to a very bad

0:43

accident and am living off pension My

0:46

husband earns enough to support us but not

0:48

to the extreme where he'll have too much

0:50

disposable income Just six months ago.

0:53

The daughter asked for money to dental for

0:55

dental implants What

0:57

I? Feel like that's I feel

0:59

like there are certain things that you can't just ask for money for Can't

1:02

ask for dental implants. I feel like

1:04

that's like a did I mean, I guess maybe she needs I mean

1:06

I stopped going to the dentist whenever my mom stopped

1:09

paying for it You should go back

1:11

to the dentist if my mom pays for it. I'll go you

1:13

can get on like you can get on healthcare for that

1:15

really yeah like

1:18

Medicare, oh I

1:20

should yeah, I should probably look into that. It's like I

1:23

don't know Sam. He's on He's

1:25

done. I don't know if he's on Medicare, but he's on like

1:28

a cheap one. I know I just feel safer Go

1:31

into the to the people

1:33

my mom took me to I'll

1:36

take you to my dentist. Okay. Anyway, sorry

1:38

side side track I happily told

1:40

my husband to be as generous as he

1:42

can be since it's not always the case

1:44

and she rarely asks for money After

1:47

that first time she kept asking for

1:49

more one time It was groceries next

1:51

time it was daycare about bills then

1:53

phone bills just a week ago She

1:55

asked him to pay some of her bills because she doesn't have

1:57

a work. She doesn't have a job now It's

2:00

becoming a habit and I don't think

2:02

she's too old to be asking for

2:04

him to support her and

2:06

this needs to stop. How

2:09

old is she again? Oh

2:12

yeah. She's fairly old to be asking for

2:14

that much help. Come on. Especially

2:16

if she doesn't have a job. She should probably get a

2:18

job. Oh

2:21

Medicare, am I thinking of Medicaid? I

2:25

might have meant Medicaid. Oh

2:27

yeah, yeah, yeah. John's on that. Medicaid. Oh

2:30

Medicare, my kiddies, I always mix

2:32

them up like stalactites and stalagmites.

2:36

I told my husband how frustrated I

2:38

am and he was even more upset

2:40

and disappointed because I'm being unreasonable he

2:43

said. Now

2:45

he's giving her

2:47

$700 weekly and I just found

2:49

out yesterday that we are behind on

2:51

rent. Oh damn. Yeah,

2:55

no if you're behind on rent you're giving too much money. Like

2:58

you shouldn't be giving money that you don't have. Yeah.

3:02

Um. Alone. I

3:05

told him how I see him as a really

3:07

good father but I don't think it's right especially

3:09

when we can barely pay housing and he just

3:12

shut me off. It's been three

3:14

days since we stopped talking. What? Am

3:16

I the a-hole? Three days. Three

3:19

days? You stopped talking to your wife for

3:21

three days? No no

3:23

no no no. That's

3:25

yeah no you can't you can't do that. You

3:27

can't be doing that. That's not okay. You

3:30

need to you need to communicate with your partner.

3:32

Oh 100%. Quite frankly. You

3:35

can't be like shutting them off just because you

3:37

disagree. Especially if it's financial

3:39

stuff. Yeah oh 100%. Yeah.

3:44

Um. But let's get into these relevant comments. Actually

3:47

there's an edit. I still

3:49

pay half of our bills as of today.

3:51

I lost a leg. Oh

3:53

my god that's why I'm jobless right now and still

3:55

in therapy but I'm still looking for remote jobs every

3:58

day. It's not like I want all of- my

4:00

husband's money when in 12 years I, or

4:02

12 years ago, I was the one paying

4:04

for most of our bills. Wow.

4:07

Yeah. Is

4:09

this kid like not working? They

4:12

said that she's not working and they also said daycare

4:14

so I'm assuming that she might have a child.

4:16

Ooh, yeah, no. My

4:19

thought process is if you

4:22

don't raise your kids, you're going to end up raising

4:24

your grandkids because if you spoil your kids like this,

4:27

what's going to happen whenever the

4:29

child can't take care of their

4:31

own kids. Yeah, I mean she

4:33

can't. She financially can't support her kid. Oh.

4:37

Sarah Sanborn says, as a parent, I would

4:39

want the best for my child, plain and

4:41

simple. If that means living with

4:43

me past 18 years so be it, I'm

4:45

not kicking him out like I was. I

4:48

will set him up for success before being out on his

4:50

own. It's a tough world and our home should always be

4:52

a place he feels safe to go. Yeah,

4:54

no, I do think, I don't think that you should

4:56

cut off a child like

4:58

once they turn 18 or anything and I think

5:00

it's okay to support them but again, I don't

5:02

think that should be at the detriment of

5:05

your family, like your wife. Valley

5:10

Lily says, 27, single mom, living with

5:12

her mom, daycare, so why doesn't she

5:14

work? Yeah, I don't know.

5:17

And Care Bear Mama says, this husband is

5:19

ridiculous and the daughter is taking advantage. Yeah,

5:22

especially like the dental implant stuff.

5:24

It seems like she's also asking

5:26

for money for things that

5:28

aren't like necessities. Yeah.

5:32

Yeah. Dude,

5:34

that's so tough. Oh

5:36

my gosh. But there

5:38

are some relevant comments. I am interested

5:41

in the comments. Can you guys type

5:43

whenever you guys moved out of your house

5:46

or whenever you moved out from your parents?

5:48

I technically moved out right away. Really?

5:51

Yeah, right after college. That counts? What

5:53

do you mean? That counts if you moved out of

5:55

college? Well, I mean I moved out

5:58

in college. I

6:00

wasn't living at home during college, except

6:03

for during COVID. Yeah.

6:08

Why wouldn't that count? A lot of

6:10

my friends moved back home after college. It

6:12

didn't count. I don't know. I wouldn't say

6:14

I'd moved out of my house until like I was

6:16

20. I'm saying I moved out of

6:19

my house when I was 22. Going

6:21

to college? Okay. Yeah. So

6:24

after college. I'm saying after college. Oh, I agree.

6:27

I agree. Yeah. I

6:29

think I was still like, you know, my parents were still paying for

6:31

my stuff at that point. Relevant

6:33

comments though. Commenter says,

6:36

not the A-hole $700 weekly is insane. She

6:39

is living at her mom's house and still

6:41

needs that much weekly? Why

6:43

does she have daycare bills if she isn't working? I think a lot of you

6:45

were saying that in the chat. They're like, why

6:47

is she not working? Why does she need daycare? This

6:51

isn't, this is insane. I would

6:53

honestly have a talk with your husband about this. I

6:55

know it can be scary, especially when you rely on his

6:57

income. But this is not okay. You

7:00

guys are married and need to agree on money spending

7:02

like this. He is a fool for

7:05

wasting his money on his daughter like that. She's

7:07

old enough to figure herself out. I

7:09

understand helping here and there, but $700 a week is

7:11

absurd. And

7:14

OP says, uh, response to that. This

7:17

is what we talked about before. We paid for daycare,

7:19

but she only tried to work for a week and

7:21

stop because she said she can't bear not to be

7:23

with her kid 24 seven. But

7:26

you're not, you're not with your kid when she's

7:28

at daycare. The

7:31

following week, she still asked us for help with the

7:33

daycare bill. And that's when I

7:35

told my husband, no, if she wants

7:37

to be with her kid 24 seven, why leave

7:39

her at daycare? Then my

7:42

husband asked, would it be okay if we continue

7:44

helping until she gets back on her own? I

7:47

was okay with that because my understanding was $700 a month.

7:51

I don't want us to fight over his kids and

7:53

money. So when I learned it's a weekly thing, I

7:56

didn't mind as long as our bills are paid and

7:58

I thought it was going to be temporary and made.

8:00

she's trying six months and

8:02

an accident later it's still the

8:04

same oh yeah no

8:07

this is too much this is too much yeah

8:10

I like that she said she would

8:12

be okay with being on the same

8:14

page yeah husband communication what's up with

8:16

people not communicating all of your problems

8:18

would go away if you did a

8:20

little bit of this no she literally

8:22

said she's like I'm okay with you paying

8:25

like seven dollars a month your daughter but

8:27

he changed that up hot take

8:30

I would sit the daughter down and

8:33

like financially figure out

8:36

what exactly is going on because it it doesn't

8:38

seem like the wife has talked

8:40

to the daughter it's just a husband and the

8:42

daughter yeah back and forth yeah like

8:45

you're not confronting the daughter which I

8:47

think would be the smart next move

8:50

in order to fix this but the

8:52

husband it's tough to because the husband is

8:54

not is not like

8:57

doing anything he's like I'm not gonna talk to you about this

8:59

yeah down oh Valley Lily says the

9:05

daughter is partying shopping and

9:07

so on yeah it seems

9:09

like she just wants to keep being like a teenager but

9:12

she has a child so she doesn't she's not

9:14

really afforded that yeah another

9:18

commenter says does he see the bills or

9:20

is he just blindly trusting her and

9:23

2800 a month per month is

9:25

reaching drug such MLM slash

9:28

her boyfriend is in prison levels of expensive

9:31

and OP responds he is just sending it

9:33

through Venmo each time and never asked I

9:35

will still be okay with it if our bills

9:37

are being taken care of if I didn't see

9:39

the notice that we are behind our rent I

9:41

probably probably would have never confront him and

9:45

then a commenter says what that's good that

9:47

the you're behind on rent that's

9:49

good so this is like oh that you

9:51

know yeah they found out yeah cometer

9:54

says how can you be okay with this

9:56

OP says I love her and her kid

9:58

we would occasionally fly them out every time I

10:00

treat her as my own but it's just becoming out of

10:02

hand and we can't put the bill anymore But

10:05

my husband thinks he still can I don't

10:07

know if we will still be able to survive in the

10:09

coming. Oh and they're not close

10:11

either man No,

10:14

if it's an issue of like you don't even

10:16

know if you're gonna be able to like afford

10:19

to live in your place or survive as

10:21

Opie says then Yeah, you

10:23

got to be like I'm sorry. We can't afford to pay

10:25

give you money You you gotta

10:28

have that kind of conversation. It's not a long-term

10:30

solution Another commoner

10:32

says this is none of my business But is

10:34

there a chance you'll be able to begin working

10:36

again in the future? If so, maybe you could

10:38

position it as him needing

10:40

to worry about your finances now Oh your

10:43

own finances now and then once there are two incomes

10:45

coming in again He will be able to help her

10:48

again when you guys are on

10:50

a sturdier financial footing Opie

10:52

says I'm looking for remote remote jobs now I'm

10:54

still in therapy, but it won't hinder the job

10:56

since I can sit up straight now and type

10:59

I have some personal savings that I will use

11:01

to pay for a rent I'm okay when she

11:03

first asked because she rarely did but

11:06

now we're not in a good situation and it

11:08

needs to end I would understand the phone bills

11:10

if it's from a 14 year old daughter, but she

11:12

is 27

11:15

I'm disabled and my and pay my own phone and

11:17

my husband wouldn't even bother to pay mine and Another

11:21

commenter says that's unreasonable and is it guilt?

11:24

Opie says I'm thinking maybe it is guilt. He divorced

11:27

the first wife when she was 11 I

11:29

told my husband how it's affecting her own

11:31

financial status But he's closed-minded when it comes

11:33

to this and I think we're

11:36

going to be homeless in the coming months if

11:38

this doesn't stop Wow He

11:41

was paying twelve hundred dollars of child

11:43

support way back. He's giving him more

11:45

than what he paid I was giving her

11:47

more than what he paid for child support now that she's

11:49

grown Mmm. Yeah,

11:51

no, he's overdoing it. He's overdoing it

11:54

Wait, sorry is this Both

11:58

their kids or is it just This

12:00

is her stepdaughter. Oh, that

12:03

changes things. Yeah. I

12:06

think, I mean, Opie has stated that

12:08

she loves her as her own daughter, but she

12:10

just can't afford to do that. Two

12:15

some nasty troll-like comments. Opie

12:19

responds, I lost my legs due to a

12:21

very bad accident, but is looking for remote

12:23

jobs for two weeks, now still in a

12:25

look. I don't think I was a

12:27

burden to my husband. That's the first time I'm ever off

12:29

work. And yeah, why

12:31

are people like, you don't know why you're

12:33

not helping? She's

12:36

trying. She's trying. She's going to

12:38

therapy and she's looking for remote work. Give her a break.

12:42

Jesus. And I see her as a daughter, but

12:44

needed to put his on the post for clarification.

12:47

We share one kid together. He's only eight.

12:50

Before we stopped talking, I asked him to stop giving

12:52

her much and to lower it from 700 to maybe

12:54

450. But

12:56

he said, I'm being unreasonable. How?

12:59

How does he figure that? I

13:01

gave up, but when I figured out we were behind

13:03

rent, that's when I asked him to stop. And

13:06

there is an update. Lay

13:08

it out. You just got to lay it

13:11

out. Yeah. You got to say, hey, these are

13:13

our finances. If you keep this up, we are, we won't

13:15

be able to afford to live here anymore. And that

13:17

scares me. Yeah. And

13:19

I'm frightened and I want to live here with you because I

13:21

love you and your daughter, but we can't. Yeah.

13:24

Dang. And I'm assuming

13:26

the dad growing up in

13:28

the kid's life. This is my, this

13:30

is my conspiracy theory here. The

13:35

dad did not grow up

13:37

living with the kid or the kid

13:39

didn't grow up living with the dad and he feels bad. And

13:42

he's like, hey, in order to make up for this,

13:44

I'm going to pay her all this money so that

13:46

she still loves me and that I can still provide

13:48

for her. That's my heart. I

13:50

feel like that is probably true because he said that

13:53

he paid like a bunch of child support and

13:55

he probably feels guilty for, for what,

13:58

you know, her childhood. Establish

14:00

this relationship with money

14:02

because I don't see a lot of

14:04

quality time going here. Yeah because they

14:07

don't live far away. So

14:12

if he lowers it then it's like, hey

14:15

I don't love you as much in a way.

14:17

That's what he would be saying. Socrates

14:19

says the husband is

14:21

a murderer, daughter knows too much and

14:23

is using his black mouth. That is

14:25

a really good one. But

14:29

before we get into the update, let's get

14:31

into these donations. GiantSmoke,

14:34

I don't know if I said this one already

14:36

but thank you with five gifted memberships. Thank you

14:38

again. Eric, thank you

14:40

for the five buck tip. All hail the worm

14:42

queen and big protein. Thank you.

14:45

Appreciate it. Can

14:47

you scroll up please? Yep.

14:51

LadyMarie, thank you for the two bucks. We need a

14:54

D&D game with the worm queen and her subjects. I

14:56

desperately wanted this. For next year's fair

14:58

you should all cost the characters. Hi.

15:02

Oh it's Hawaii if you do that. Thank you. I

15:04

wasn't sure. Hi. Alana

15:06

said thank you for

15:08

the two buck tip. Dental implants cost as

15:11

much as a down payment on house. What?

15:14

Wow. That's

15:16

not a small ask at

15:18

all. I have 12 dental

15:21

implants supporting two arches of fake teeth.

15:23

It cost almost 30K and that

15:25

was cheap. Would have cost

15:27

90K at some places. That

15:30

is a lot of money. Crazy.

15:33

Yeah, no that's... If he gave her $30,000 for dental implants

15:35

that's... No

15:38

wonder they are behind on rent. But

15:42

there is an update. Hello

15:46

everyone. I've shown this to my

15:48

husband to open up his mind a little and he

15:50

apologized. He said he needed time

15:52

to think for days and came up with a

15:54

solution. He's

15:58

cutting... Time for men to prise. Yeah,

16:01

he needed those three days to really think all of

16:03

it through he's cutting his

16:05

daughter off. Oh she Wow We

16:08

thought he came to that well Fully

16:11

off that isn't even what Opie was asking She

16:14

just called to remind him about the weekly allowance and

16:16

when he said we can't afford right now She

16:19

just started crying hysterically and told us

16:21

how selfish are she was using

16:24

Girl you can't say they're selfish when they've

16:27

been paying you $2,500 a month

16:31

No All this

16:34

while knowing how we are now behind

16:36

rent behind on rent To

16:38

those asking yes, she knows about the accident She

16:41

even knows now we are behind on rent but

16:43

still blames us as to why she won't be

16:45

getting support anymore. Oh, no That's

16:47

so I mean she's obviously very selfish Yeah

16:53

My husband used to say I have a pay I have

16:55

the patience of a saint and I just cracked now because

16:57

it's too much We need to

16:59

care for our own son too But since

17:01

he's still being supportive and everything is

17:04

being taken care of in regards to our kid I

17:06

didn't feel the need to include him in the equation

17:10

The son in the equation, I think he's a

17:12

good dad and that will never change I

17:14

messaged his ex to know how much she's charging her

17:16

for rent so we could do half She

17:19

was surprised because she's not charging her anything

17:24

Oh my god, so this girl is lying And

17:29

is frustrated because all she does is party

17:31

every weekend Oh, no, she's so

17:34

fully taking advantage of this

17:36

poor couple Apparently it's

17:38

not dental implants. He paid for

17:40

it's veneers and just cosmetic was

17:43

veneers the nears are like when you like you put like a

17:45

it's kind of like a Cover if

17:47

you will even out you've probably

17:49

seen like a lot of celebrities with veneers Well,

17:53

we'll look up pictures if you look up like I

17:56

can only think of Sam claflin veneers like

17:59

you can look up teeth before and then after.

18:05

Oh yeah. Wow. Yeah.

18:08

Commenter, another, so there are some

18:10

relevant comments to, I believe, finish

18:12

this story out. Yeah, finish

18:14

the story out. So let's

18:17

get into them. Commenter

18:19

says, so she's not paying rent, needs

18:21

hundreds of dollars on a consistent basis,

18:24

parties all the time, recently

18:26

needed veneers, could she be on

18:28

drugs? Yeah, I think

18:30

a bunch of commenters were kind of asking that. OP

18:34

says, we honestly don't know, but could be

18:36

and we hope not. She was

18:38

living a luxurious lifestyle and was buying

18:40

things nonstop. Her mom questioned her at one

18:42

point and she said it was gifted. When

18:44

my husband told her about our situation and how we

18:46

couldn't afford the $700 weekly as

18:49

we were behind on rent, all she ever

18:51

asked was how many days will it be

18:54

delayed this time? Oh

18:56

my gosh, Nada, thank you, I appreciate it.

18:58

Yeah, no, Lord, she's

19:00

so selfish and spoiled.

19:04

And right there and then he told her

19:06

there won't be any help from our side

19:09

anymore. She just hysterically

19:11

cried. I feel sorry for her

19:13

and we still love her, but if my husband

19:15

won't stop, it will just get worse.

19:19

All the help we gave her, we weren't expecting

19:21

anything back, but I just felt sorry for my

19:23

husband who did all that and

19:25

not even a single thank you, but rather screw

19:27

you for not wiring me money anymore. She

19:30

became completely dependent and didn't try working again

19:32

because she's getting a full salary worth and

19:34

it's somehow a mistake from our end. Tom

19:37

under says you feel sorry for her for

19:39

what? For no longer exploiting your husband.

19:42

So he's behind on your rent. Screw

19:44

her. She's a selfish grifter with

19:46

messed up priorities, especially for a single mom.

19:49

Yeah. And OP says at the

19:51

end of the day, she's still our daughter, but we

19:53

all need to move on from this and she needs

19:55

to be responsible for her own life now. And the

19:57

only thing we could do now is to cut her.

20:00

her off. And

20:02

then, wait, can you scroll up in the comments? Wait,

20:07

Scooter Kid says, drugs would explain why she's so

20:09

upset. Yeah, that was a really big reaction

20:11

for this. And

20:14

then Stars Follows says cocaine can

20:16

F up the teeth. MDMA can

20:18

make your jaw clench which would have ruined the

20:20

teeth too, which might be why she needed or

20:22

she wanted the veneers. Another

20:26

commenter says, seriously, as her family, you guys need

20:28

to be at least prepared that this is a

20:30

drug thing. It definitely could

20:32

just be regular entitled behavior and addiction.

20:36

Doesn't in any way excuse her behavior, but

20:38

if she's desperate and she's been cut off,

20:40

especially with access to a child, eyes

20:43

up. Some bells can't be un-rung. And

20:46

OP responds, our only source of info now

20:48

is the ex-wife who's been updating us and

20:51

anything suspicious she said she'll tell. We're

20:54

willing to put her on rehab if that's the case. She

20:57

found a circle that isn't really good for her

20:59

and the only thing she's been addicted to lately

21:01

is Instagram as her mom. Another

21:04

commenter says, how was her relationship with you before?

21:07

Many kids want very little to do with their

21:09

step-parent after seeing their parents split. Did

21:12

she get along with you or see you as someone

21:14

who always ruins things for her? I'm

21:16

wondering if this is a new type of behavior for

21:18

her or just more of the same. OP

21:21

says, we are very close. I treated her

21:23

as my own. In our 12

21:25

years of marriage, we never failed to fly

21:27

her out and our grandchild out to see

21:29

us every year. She never saw

21:31

me as someone who ruined things for her. I met

21:33

her dad three years after he divorced her mom so

21:35

there was never animosity among us.

21:38

Her mom remarried first before my husband and

21:40

she has two half-siblings from her. We

21:43

all got along really well. The

21:46

commenter says, yikes. You guys,

21:48

the parental figures are definitely going to

21:50

need to increase your direct communications in

21:52

the future. So make sure

21:54

she's not playing you all or playing

21:56

you against each other until she becomes

21:58

independent. because the fact that they

22:00

didn't know that she wasn't paying for rent is, yeah,

22:03

concerning. Opie says,

22:06

we actually didn't feel the need to consult

22:08

my husband's ex-wife about my stepdaughter's situation since

22:11

she's an adult who we thought was in

22:13

dire need of support. We believed

22:15

this was something she really needed to be able to

22:17

grow, but we were wrong. We

22:19

even paid for her college for two years. That's

22:21

why when it lasted this long and she's still

22:24

jobless, it really made me

22:26

frustrated. I'm just glad my husband sees

22:28

it through my eyes now. It

22:30

took me a while to understand what's happening and if

22:32

not for you guys who helped me, he

22:35

would have never seen it either.

22:37

I, yeah, that's crazy.

22:39

I think Opie was saying that they paid for two

22:41

extra years of college. What?

22:44

Because she said, oh, I'm not sure if that's right, but she said,

22:46

oh, it took so long and she still doesn't have a job. So

22:49

I think she was implying that she paid for two extra years.

22:52

Ooh. Which

22:55

is, yeah, concerning. Not

22:57

that she had to save her two years, but that she's

22:59

not refusing to get a job and

23:01

still relying on their money. Partying

23:07

doesn't usually cost that much a month, some

23:09

commenter says. I just talked to

23:11

the ex and she's quite shocked as well. She

23:13

said she takes care of her grandchild full time.

23:16

Wait, where's the daycare money going? She

23:20

ain't using it, dude. She's not using that. She's not using it.

23:23

And our stepdaughter kept on purchasing expensive

23:25

stuff and she was wondering where the

23:27

money was coming from. And

23:29

she kept saying those were gifts. She

23:32

didn't even know we were supporting her. Oh my God,

23:34

this girl's lying to everyone. She

23:37

never tried getting a job and it's

23:39

partly my husband's fault since he was

23:41

providing her for her, but not any

23:43

more. In six months, she only

23:45

tried once and only for a week. My

23:48

husband was frustrated because he said she never

23:50

even asked him once how he's doing, but

23:53

every time she calls, it's all about borrowing

23:55

money and she gets irritated if it's

23:57

a day late. These are

23:59

some... This is some info my husband

24:01

would never tell me before, but I can tell

24:03

he's over the situation now and

24:06

is unloading his mental baggage.

24:09

Wow, or emotional baggage. Yeah,

24:12

yeah. Something's going wrong with this

24:14

girl. She needs to, I feel like she's

24:16

not paying for the daycare. DeMonica Christie says

24:18

the daycare is a lie as well. Why

24:21

is it getting worse? Yeah, it seems like

24:23

she's lying about everything and she's tricking

24:26

both sets of parents so

24:29

that they pay for her and support

24:31

her lifestyle. This is

24:33

very suspicious. Also, TLDR for

24:35

anyone who is getting confused,

24:38

OP's husband was paying

24:41

for her stepdaughter and

24:44

giving her about $2,500 a month and

24:48

OP said, we cannot support this lifestyle

24:50

anymore. We are behind on rent and

24:52

so they cut the daughter off and then found out

24:55

that OP's ex-wife

24:57

was still supporting her and they

24:59

don't really know where this money that they were giving her

25:02

is going to. I bet the kid

25:04

was getting taken care of by the ex-wife.

25:07

No, no, no, it said in the thing, it said

25:09

the ex-wife was taking care of her full time. So

25:12

that's why I'm like, where was this money

25:14

going to? Drugs. Yeah.

25:17

Susan Martin, thank you for the $1.85 tip. Please

25:20

like the stream. Like it. We're

25:23

not at 800 likes yet. What are you

25:25

doing? We can do another Jeopardy. We

25:27

got 850 people here on YouTube and 11 on Twitch. What's

25:32

up Twitch? 850 people. I don't know

25:34

how much on Facebook. Oh, okay. We have

25:36

relatively, we have somewhere over 850 people.

25:40

Alana, thank you for the $2 tip. Oh,

25:43

I said that one. Chris

25:45

Dees was college tuition allied too. I,

25:49

unless they were paying her directly, I would

25:51

hope not because usually you have to

25:53

like. I could see that though. I

25:56

think we're paying her directly and she was like, I'll pay for

25:58

it too. Maybe she just wasn't going to college. Because

26:00

in a way, her dad,

26:04

Opie's husband, has not

26:06

been around her and is far

26:08

away. So she can do whatever she wants.

26:10

Yeah, well, she's been getting away with it because

26:13

the parents haven't been communicating with each other.

26:16

So she's just like, ha ha. Oh my

26:18

gosh. You can't. You're not going to

26:21

figure it out? I'm very curious to see how

26:23

long this has been going on for. Valley

26:26

Lily says, oh, she feels something. Sorry

26:28

for herself. Because now she's not getting

26:30

any money anymore. She did nothing wrong

26:32

and they're letting her down. Oh,

26:36

is that what she's, is that from her perspective? Christine,

26:40

Kristen L says, this feels like the lead up

26:42

to one of those true crime cases where the

26:44

kid pretends to go to college and

26:46

when the years of lies are discovered,

26:49

they murder the parents. Oh my God. I

26:51

hope that does not happen. This

26:54

is not a true crime podcast, guys. This is it. We

26:56

couldn't take it seriously. We couldn't take it seriously.

26:58

This is not true crime. I think you could

27:00

maybe do it. I bet I could do it.

27:02

I don't know. Like, okay. Hot

27:04

take on the true crime stuff. Yeah.

27:08

It's just like, it's like real, like the one we read,

27:10

it was like two

27:14

like little girls that got murdered by a

27:16

murderer. And it's like, this is

27:18

real. They even had pictures of the little girls and

27:20

it was like, whoa, it hit. Yeah. My

27:22

response to that is

27:24

like to laugh it off and

27:26

you can't. You can't laugh it

27:29

off when you're doing it in front of people. Yeah.

27:31

That's why we buried that. It was

27:34

like, yeah, we buried that. We can't,

27:36

we swore not to talk about it. It's never going

27:38

to see the light of day. It cannot see the

27:40

light of day. No. No.

27:43

I wasn't even in that one, which is probably why it got so crazy. Dude, you would

27:45

have yelled at us. I would have. I would have

27:48

stopped. I would have been like, stop laughing. She just got

27:50

murdered. Stop laughing. Stop. Oh,

27:54

giant milk. Back at it

27:56

again. Again, giant milk. memberships.

28:01

Ooh, we're made in Aoki says do

28:03

weird history. That would be fun. Like

28:06

drunk history but we don't drink. We

28:10

just acted out. Jacy,

28:12

thank you for the celebrating your two months

28:14

of membership. As someone who has

28:17

a close family member that struggles with addition. Addition.

28:22

They really, they find math really hard. Addiction,

28:24

I'm sorry. Daughter is very much

28:26

reminding me of her when, can you scroll

28:28

down? No,

28:30

on the donations. Thank you.

28:33

When we wouldn't give her money. Yeah,

28:35

I think that it's a little bit concerning

28:37

that she is so like

28:40

reacting so I

28:43

don't know, crazily or reacting so

28:45

intensely to not getting money. It's not like

28:47

she's gonna be put out in the street.

28:49

She still has her mother supporting her and

28:52

giving her, letting her live for free without rent.

28:55

Yeah. So I

28:57

think there's something else going on. Perhaps. Perhaps.

29:02

But yeah, there is something

29:04

else going on in this next story. Okay,

29:08

we have to wait one second. La

29:11

la la la la la. Um,

29:14

um um um. Christie says

29:17

make instead of drink history do

29:19

you bake history or okay story

29:21

time? Oh, Sam would love that. Yes,

29:24

Riley's gonna give more ice bags. Caro

29:27

Sosa says y'all should do let's

29:29

not meet. What is that on

29:32

Reddit? Who are we

29:35

not meeting? Uh, Miranda Lee says

29:37

I'm at work watching this live. Does the daughter

29:39

take care of her child? It

29:41

seems that her mom takes care of

29:43

the child full time. So it doesn't, I'm

29:45

not sure she's like partying. That's what

29:47

they said. I don't know. Sam

29:50

Hyatt says drunk it. At Love Buffalo's drunk

29:52

history is a great concept concept but that

29:54

awful show is very light, lazy, whitewashed and

29:56

gets a lot of their info wrong. Damn.

30:00

I have to rewatch, I've only seen a couple episodes,

30:02

but I did like them. I'll rewatch with

30:05

a new mind. Drunk history. Yeah.

30:09

Um, a worm made me

30:11

a yokee says, like hey guy who

30:13

stared at me too long and make it extra

30:16

creepy, let's not meet. Okay, that's what that is.

30:18

Got you. Demonic Kirsty

31:45

31:48

later, I mentioned, oh, let's go

31:50

31:52

31:54

put this in my mind and then was like,

31:56

I can do it. I'm tired. I thought we

31:59

32:01

we could have made it happen. I had to drive Sam's

32:03

34:42

two kids in high school She

34:44

started to hate me. Whoa during

34:46

our last year of marriage along with

34:48

mood swings and just being mean Only

34:51

thing I could think of at the time was that she's being

34:54

hormonal She doesn't like

34:56

when I tell her she's being hormonal. She

34:58

would get defensive. I told her

35:00

to see a doctor Anyone

35:04

would like to be like I your hormones are

35:06

acting up. I yeah. No. Yeah, that's

35:08

probably not a fun thing to hear Sophia You're

35:11

overreacting. I would be annoyed calm down.

35:13

I would be annoyed only I can

35:15

say that I am overreacting Yeah,

35:17

yeah only I can say that I'm having mood

35:20

swings. No one else can say that But

35:23

let's get back to the string I Told

35:25

her to see a doctor. She refused. I don't

35:27

think she would have listened to me I

35:30

gave her an ultimatum to go to therapy and go

35:32

see a doctor or we're done She

35:35

asked for divorce. Oh Wow,

35:38

that escalated I

35:42

Didn't argue I told her fine if that's what

35:44

she wants. She told me. Oh

35:48

I'm a mediocre husband and she's better off

35:50

alone That

35:52

actually defines me I'm a mediocre

35:54

husband. I'm not very good-looking. I'm

35:56

not a millionaire. I never cheated.

35:58

So I guess I'm not Not a bad

36:00

husband, just mediocre. Aw,

36:03

dude. So, buddy.

36:05

That's so sad. Buddy. She

36:09

filed the petition for divorce. Ow.

36:13

Sarah Sandborn, I thought you said you don't deserve

36:16

that cold treat. Sarah Sandborn says, I do deserve

36:18

that cold treat. Don't forget to reapply sunscreen. I'm

36:20

gonna do that right now. It's

36:22

funny. I

36:24

will never ask a woman to

36:26

see a doctor now because of this lesson learned. Never

36:30

tell your significant other to go to the doctor.

36:32

They may divorce you. I

36:36

guess. That's what happened. We

36:39

have to say. Go to the doctor. I'm getting a

36:41

divorce. All right, I'm getting a divorce. That's what happens

36:43

every time. I feel like I haven't smeared

36:46

this in, but whatever. Then, a few

36:49

months later, she suddenly withdrew

36:51

it and told me that she's having second

36:53

thoughts. Nah, you would have

36:55

the second thoughts before you sent out those

36:57

papers. See, if you went to

36:59

the doctor, you would have been having the second

37:01

thoughts. Yeah, also, Scooter Kid says

37:04

Riley needs sunscreen. Riley doesn't need

37:06

sunscreen. Riley is completely under the

37:08

umbrella. Yeah, I'm Jay Chillin. I'm having a

37:10

great time. I am fully in the sun. I'm

37:12

having a great time. I'm gonna be in the sun

37:14

tomorrow. I'll think about putting it on tomorrow.

37:16

No, I will make you. Then,

37:20

I filed a petition myself because I met

37:23

a woman, 36

37:25

female, who was nice to me, which came

37:27

as a shock to my system. Oh,

37:30

no, it's been a while. No,

37:33

he's like, I'm just a mediocre guy. I

37:35

liked it the first thing was she was

37:38

nice to me. He was nice to me,

37:40

which is crazy. She's beautiful, great person.

37:42

No, she's just nice to me. Yeah. I

37:46

couldn't have gone back to my ex-wife

37:48

after that. Turns out my

37:50

ex-wife's sister convinced her to see a doctor

37:52

as she discussed about her period irregularities with

37:54

her. She was going through

37:56

perimenopause and she just started HRT. She

37:59

started... started rocking the process so we have

38:02

been going through divorce for like forever.

38:05

Domonika Kirsty says you can still burn in

38:07

the shade. Yeah but- Watch

38:09

me. I need a tan. Not

38:11

as fast. I'll caramelize. See,

38:13

I get burnt really bad and then over

38:15

the day I caramelize and everyone loves it.

38:17

I feel like complete shade. You should still-

38:20

I always put on sunscreen regardless of whether I

38:22

go outside. Time out. That

38:25

is the same as a roof. I

38:27

never put on sunscreen when I'm inside. Basically

38:30

inside right now. Yeah, no. Tell me

38:32

that fact. I will give Riley sunscreen.

38:34

I just meant that I deserve it more

38:37

because I'm just full of sun. You

38:39

should still put it on though. I'm okay. I'm

38:41

doing great. So

38:44

where was I? My

38:46

girlfriend found out she's pregnant. My

38:49

girlfriend found out- wait, what? What?

38:51

She- the girlfriend found out she's pregnant. Whoa. The

38:54

girl- not the wife. The ex-wife. So-

38:57

so- What? He's

38:59

getting divorced- Who's pregnant? So he's

39:01

getting divorced, TLDR. Okay. He's

39:03

getting divorced to his wife but hasn't

39:05

gone through yet and he found a girlfriend

39:08

during this process. Yes. And

39:10

his girlfriend is now pregnant. Whoa. Yeah. That's

39:13

what I responded to. Yeah. What? What?

39:16

I'm confused. No, I was just explaining.

39:18

I thought you were confused. No, no. I

39:21

was like, whoa, this is crazy. Oh, I thought you said what? No.

39:23

Okay, we're all the same age. I-

39:26

I told her that I'm a mediocre dude.

39:29

That's why my ex- what- my ex

39:31

left me. No. Dude,

39:33

get- You have to

39:35

improve your confidence. Bro, let's get back- buddy,

39:37

let's go to the gym. Yeah. Let's

39:40

show that you can lift heavy things equals

39:42

not mediocre. Okay. She

39:45

told me that she is also a

39:47

mediocre woman and she wants to raise

39:49

a mediocre kid with me and live

39:51

in a mediocre house and

39:54

live a mediocre life. Aww. That's-

39:56

it's giving everything everywhere all at once when he's like,

39:58

I just- like in another- life I

40:00

would have been fine doing taxes

40:03

with you. That's what it's giving.

40:05

That's so sweet. Oh my god. I

40:08

love it. I love it. Battery

40:11

Rees says, Riley, you've literally gotten more tan since

40:13

the beginning of the stream. And doesn't it look

40:15

great? Doesn't he look good? Uh, Carrot Thonts

40:17

says, thank you for celebrating your one month

40:19

membership. Skin cancer doesn't care. You're in the

40:22

shade, Riley. Yeah, it does

40:24

run in my family. It runs in my family, which

40:26

is why I always wear sunscreen. Yeah,

40:28

he wears the sawmill. He's starting to put it on.

40:31

Yeah. You should always wear, you should

40:33

always have like a face sunscreen in your,

40:37

in your skincare routine. I

40:39

always put face. I don't need a skincare routine. You

40:41

should put sunscreen on. You see this,

40:43

this face is raw dogs, everything. I know. But don't

40:45

you want like, don't you want

40:47

good skin when you're older? I don't, I

40:50

don't have to worry about that right now. Yeah. Why?

40:53

Because it'll happen later. She

40:56

is now my fiance. Whoa.

40:59

And wife, as soon as I get

41:01

divorced. Whoa. I thought news

41:03

of her pregnancy will make my ex understand that

41:05

our marriage ended, but she went

41:08

crazy about it. Wow.

41:11

She's now claiming I abandoned her when she needed

41:13

me the most, that I'm a bad person for

41:15

having a kid when she's going through menopause. She

41:17

left me first. No,

41:19

I don't think she can claim that he's

41:21

abandoning her when she filed the papers. She

41:25

started this whole thing. He said, let's go therapy. Let's

41:27

go to the doctor. Let's figure this out. And she

41:29

said, no, you can't no takes you back.

41:31

No takes you back. He moved on. You're

41:33

too late. And don't be like getting

41:36

mad at him. Whenever you've been calling him

41:38

mediocre, the whole relationship. What about that? Mm

41:40

hmm. Roxy, thank you

41:42

for the one buck tip. Riley, you're the best, but

41:44

no. Ask chat, GBT

41:46

real fast. If you need sunscreen under an

41:48

umbrella. Bet. I'm doing that

41:50

right now. Do it. But

41:53

let's get into these moments. Oh,

41:57

Katie Lynn also says, and he also begged her

41:59

to get help. Yeah. Weird

42:01

man Michael says, she told me I'm

42:03

a mediocre husband and she's better off

42:05

alone. That actually definitely defines me, continuing

42:09

with that quote. And the

42:11

commenter says, that should have been the end of the story

42:13

right there. She left me first. Enough

42:15

said, not the a-hole. Chain

42:19

gun Samurai says, she filed for divorce. Were

42:21

you supposed to crumple into a ball and

42:23

not go on without her? Sun

42:26

bear 2525 says, I honestly expect that

42:29

she was a completely different person when she wasn't

42:31

on HRT and is basically woken

42:33

up to realize she blew up her entire life

42:36

with a person she actually loved and

42:38

valued. It's tragic. My heart goes out

42:40

to her, but it's not OP's fault.

42:43

Yeah. It's not like I understand

42:45

that she was going

42:47

through something like going

42:50

through a medical thing. However,

42:52

I don't think

42:54

you should be expected to stay around

42:57

until she figures that out and goes and gets the

42:59

help that she needs. Jay

43:02

Galnett says this 100%, I

43:05

know that hormones are crazy, how they affect

43:07

people with moods and other things, but it

43:09

isn't his fault. It happened. Particular

43:11

title 42 says, not the

43:13

a-hole. When an ultimatum is issued, that

43:16

is the last choice you get. She

43:18

made her choice. Her regret is her

43:20

problem, not yours. Congrats on

43:22

your mediocre new family. I

43:24

love this. Don't forget about your

43:26

other kids. They're going to need you. And

43:29

then OP says, thanks. Have a great

43:31

mediocre day. Honestly, boredom is underrated. And

43:34

there is an update.

43:36

Whoa. Whoa. Oh my gosh.

43:38

It's about to get real juicy. OK, real

43:40

quick. I looked it up. Here's what it

43:42

said. I said, should

43:45

I have surgery under an umbrella? It said

43:47

yes. But then after that, I was like,

43:49

what if I'm only outside for three hours? It

43:53

now says, being under an umbrella, I

43:56

have some protection against direct sunlight. But

43:59

it's still working. YCU sunscreen, okay

44:02

here What

44:05

do I put it on my face?

44:07

Okay. Oh my Sorry,

44:11

I was trying not to hit like a You

44:14

put a lot of power on I did because if

44:17

I didn't put power it would have like hit a

44:19

camera I had to like directly get it. I was

44:21

you could have like got a little

44:23

floater No, I need it

44:25

directed. Oh Lady

44:27

Morgan they've been two bucks green flags

44:29

from OPs girlfriend. So she's so true

44:33

So true, but let's get into this update

44:36

six days later Kiwi

44:39

Fox's Sophia sticker looks like a tear she thought

44:43

I'm going for it. It's just my acne. I'm

44:45

trying it I'm trying to be ready for tomorrow

44:47

so that I don't have to wear my stars I've

44:50

been traveling a lot since I posted so I

44:52

didn't get a chance to read all of your

44:55

responses It seems that people found my posts too

44:57

relatable. It stirred a wide

44:59

variety of emotions I've been getting a lot

45:01

of messages whose wives are divorcing

45:03

them after they went through menopause Oh,

45:06

I feel for you guys. I went through the same

45:08

confusion and chaos that is forced into your life when

45:10

your wife leaves you I was never

45:13

What I never wanted to take my own life though.

45:16

It may sound cliche, but I have great

45:18

appreciation for life I believe in moving forward

45:21

whatever it takes Every

45:23

day I have to make a choice between dwelling

45:25

on past on the past or moving forward.

45:27

It's not a hard choice It's

45:29

the actions needed to fulfill that choice that are hard

45:32

So I'm not here to tell you that

45:34

you're weak for feeling depressed or wanting your

45:36

old life back You are not weak that

45:39

brings me to people who dislike that I moved

45:42

on so fast as soon as

45:44

my ex-wife filed for divorce There was no

45:46

going back. There are some things

45:48

that you can take that can never be taken

45:50

back Even when you did those things during

45:52

menopause. Yeah, true. I Would

45:56

never have taken her back even if I was alone

45:58

many people have sent me articles about how I

46:00

should have actually handled my ex-wife's issues. I

46:03

admit that I could have done way more for her. I

46:05

could have handled things differently. I guess

46:07

that's where my being mediocre husband comes in. She

46:10

had the choice between mediocre husband

46:12

and no husband, and she

46:14

chose the latter. I

46:16

believe that even in her most confused

46:18

state, there has to be a central

46:21

belief system, something she considered important. I

46:23

was not part of it. My kids were definitely

46:25

were. She didn't abandon them.

46:27

She considered them important, which makes sense, because

46:31

to her I was nothing special,

46:33

someone mediocre. Women

46:36

who divorce their husbands during menopause just never

46:38

really cared that much about them. I

46:41

read your articles, and women have

46:43

been happy about the decisions to divorce

46:45

their husbands. They blame it on the

46:47

husband's faults, and truth is really irrelevant

46:49

at that point. I get

46:51

what you guys are saying, but my wife is not a child. She

46:54

had the power to divorce me, and she did. I

46:56

don't think it's fair to expect husbands to

46:58

fight even after their wife files for divorce.

47:02

As I said, some things can never

47:04

be changed back once. I

47:07

didn't divorce her first. I may have been the worst

47:09

husband there is, but I didn't divorce her first. Regarding

47:12

my kids, when my ex-wife filed for divorce,

47:14

her behavior was on the display for my

47:16

kids to see. They know

47:18

exactly what happened. When my ex-wife

47:20

changed her mind, they did try to change

47:22

my mind, and after I told them

47:24

I will never take her back, so

47:27

there is no point. It took time, but they

47:29

have accepted it and have moved

47:31

on. It's easier to be a victim than expecting that your

47:34

own choices led to where

47:36

you are. I have been guilty of it, and so has my

47:38

wife and my ex. Now

47:40

to the hard part, putting one

47:42

foot after another. What

47:45

other choices, sir? And

47:47

there are some comments to finish this story off and

47:51

our stream off. I feel like I'm reading too much

47:53

into too little, but take your time in getting. to

48:00

know her. Also responding

48:04

to there has to be a central belief system,

48:06

something she considered important, I was not part of

48:08

it. A commenter says this

48:10

is very true, many don't realize how

48:12

some folks have a default mentality to

48:14

value what's important and you definitely

48:17

aren't it. It sounds like she valued

48:19

your kids which is 100% cool but

48:21

I don't know if you noticed this,

48:23

she valued her sister's input more

48:26

than yours. Yeah, her sister told her to go

48:28

to the doctor and she did. Yikes. It

48:31

makes you wonder when the next time it will happen and

48:33

how deep that will go. Whobar68 says

48:36

congratulations, good luck with the new family.

48:38

What your ex-wife is dealing with are

48:41

called consequences, most people

48:43

hate her. Chronic

48:45

cases, I didn't divorce her first but

48:48

says no but you got a girlfriend

48:50

and got her pregnant while still married. That is the

48:52

only thing I was like, you

48:54

didn't really wait until all of the

48:56

divorce proceedings went through. That was a

48:58

little bit, yeah. A little bit strange but I

49:01

think overall I don't think he's the

49:03

A-hole because she made a choice. Yeah.

49:05

Jutter shutter, thank you for the 4-buck tip. Riley,

49:07

he put the sunscreen on his

49:09

skin or don't catch livestreams again, silence of

49:11

the lamb. JK of course

49:14

but as a ginger the sun is my natural enemy.

49:16

I feel you. I'm not a ginger but it is

49:18

also my natural enemy. Justcat,

49:20

thank you for the 25-buck tip. Someone needs

49:23

to make Riley a leatherbag meme. A leatherbag?

49:26

Oh, oh, like you're going to look like

49:28

a leatherbag. Dude, I promise

49:30

you trust the process, you

49:33

guys will be like wow, I'm so glad

49:35

Riley got into the sun and he looks

49:37

so tan and great. No. In white? Dude,

49:39

me, curls, tan and in white?

49:43

You got to use that sunscreen man. Alicia says

49:45

thank you for the 5-bucks and spicy cookie.

49:47

Thank you for the 5-buck tip. You can't

49:49

treat people like crap and expect them to

49:52

stay in your life. Well said. Big,

49:55

big truth from you. Big

49:57

true facts from you. But

50:01

that is the end of the stream. Oh,

50:03

I did, yes. Thank you again,

50:05

Lady Morgan, though. We've come to

50:07

the end of the stream. Thank you all for

50:09

50:12

50:14

50:19

around. Stick around. But we'll send you

50:21

guys pictures of our Renfaire outfits. Yeah,

50:23

we will, we will go. Yeah. But

50:26

have a fantastic day. And if

50:28
