JimsonTheBetrayer posted:What is it about people dying that just turn people into dicks? My aunt who has cancer asked me to marry her so that she can leave me her wealth avoiding estate taxes. In TX quote:My aunt (my father's brother's widow; not related by blood) is in her late 50's, with millions of dollars. I am in my 20's. She has cancer and says it doesn't look good. She has one child, my cousin, who came out as trans. My aunt pretends to be OK with it but actually thinks that my cousin is disgusting and wants to make sure before she dies that they will never inherit a cent. She would like me to have the money instead, out of spite, basically. She is also anti-taxation and wants me to marry her so that she can leave her money to me without going through the estate tax. Does this work from a tax perspective? How likely is it that such an inheritance would be challenged, and could the challenge be effective? Would it make a difference if the marriage was an unconsummated sham marriage? Would I ever have to prove that I lived with her or had sex with her?

Doesn't seem quite that bad, see actually seemed to be ok with giving videogames a shot but he blew it by being a dumb salty baby. Tom Gorman posted:In my opinion as an old dude, video games are a goddamn menace to relationships. I'll just say that. If she seems like she doesn't care that you're playing Dark Souls for 6 hours, she really does but isn't at the point where it has become frustrating yet. Or maybe she doesn't give a poo poo, in which case, good on you. But be sure before you assume that. Sometimes a game can be the thing that couples can do together and enjoy their free time. But most commonly, it isn't. Spending time together is important, and 6 hours is a hell of a long stretch of time to spend in a computer cave if you have a job and a relationship. Tom Gorman posted:I think the older we get the easier it is to figure this stuff out among ourselves. A 23 year old man and a 23 year old woman would have major issues if one person spent half the day playing games. With an older couple who has been together a while, everything is settled into a comfort zone and if something is wrong it's worth talking about. Things are pretty great because we talk to eachother about what we want or don't want and generally try to act in the interests of the other even when it comes to things that are mostly just about selfish enjoyment, and a lot of the time when reading these stories it seems like, even among those who have kids together, they're just people who have shacked up with people they are attracted to and enjoy spending time with but who they can't talk to about any of the things that are making them unhappy/miserable and are sort of just holding out in the hopes that whatever lovely behaviour their S.O. has will end.

Uncle Enzo posted:Yeah I feel for the family, OP could have at least put word out that if you wanted something, you could make an offer. The OP wouldn't have had to take it. If my wife and I wanted a piece of furniture badly enough to offer "a few hundred bucks" for it, that means that we want that furniture really loving bad, since we are poor and that is a lot of money to us. If a few hundred dollars was 1/4 the selling price, that means the item or 2 they wanted was maybe $1200 to 2k, depending on specifics. That's not a life-changing difference in the dollar amount of her inheritance. These people found out who got it, traveled to her to speak in person, and were willing to pay at least a substantial fraction of the value, for one or two things they felt some attachment to. That's not acting entitled in my opinion. They were trying to buy an heirloom, for at least a substantial fraction of market value, from the person it got left to. On the other hand, it's stuff. The cousin and aunt also waited months to contact her. If your cousin knew you wanted that screwdriver and sold it? Yeah, I'd agree, that would be kind of dickish. If you never told your cousin you wanted it, waited months afterwards, and found out he sold it...you probably shouldn't explode a huge family drama bomb over it. Also, can you imagine the poo poo storm if she started selling it bits and pieces to her own family? The horrific battles that would take place between people bidding on different things they had to have, goddamn it, and if you sell it to that BITCH Aunt Carol I'm never inviting you to Thanksgiving again! And God forbid she try to charge market value, because we're family, and who tries to make a greasy buck by ripping off their own family? Not to mention I remember grandma specifically said that she wanted me to have the armoire, she just forgot to put in our will. Do you think grandma would want you to blackmail family over a few sticks of old furniture?! Dead people's stuff makes people loving crazy.

My grandfather died a few days ago , my cousin isn't going to bother with the funeral and demands the majority of his leavings because she's pregnant. quote:After suffering a long battle with cancer, my grandfather died a few days ago. My family are planning the funeral. I'm pretty much broken over this, my grandfather was there for me when my parents divorced, at one point I loved him more than my own father.

All the person posted was a couple of OPs that were light on actual info. Presumably she's not telling people what he did because she wants help salvaging her life while staying with the guy and telling them that he touched a kid or whatever is going to result in 100% of the replies being "leave that lovely human being and get on with your life".

Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:lol this made me really want more stories of this nature... 1. Knowing her dad, she called his perfered pawn shop and told them the situation. All they would do is confirm he had two items in pawn and what day they would come out. They were super nice and held on to the items so she could come and see what they were. It was two guns, his everyday carry piece and a .25 that belonged to his father. She paid off the pawn and accepted this was all she would have of her father's stuff. Two months later at another funeral my wife's great uncle cornered her and starting asking about "his brother's pistol that went missing". He told her that it belonged to him that if she found it she should give it to him. A gun that never belonged to him, was passed from father to son, and it was his. My wife asked my opinion and I said it wasn't my call because it didn't belong to me. My only condition was he paid what it cost us to get it out of pawn. She decided he could go eat a bag of poo poo. Probably for the best he died a year later and gun would of been sold off or out right stolen. 2. The other funny thing was he left a bunch of power/hand tools over at a friend's basement . The friend asked if we could come get his stuff. He showed us where everything was and stated everything else was his. So we loaded up the truck and asked him to come check and made sure we had everything. Dude came out and freaked, said most of the stuff in the truck was his. He started pulling stuff out, everything and I do mean everything was labeled with my FILs initials. I started to get pissed and started asking asking questions like "So does this sledgehammer labeled GH belong to you too?" He said yes and took it. Fucker was stealing from his dead friend's daughter right in her face. My wife had enough and told him to take whatever he wanted. He took most of it including things we knew wasn't his. He didn't need this stuff, most of it was banged up power/hand tools and his house was probably worth a about 350k or more. Free poo poo really scrambles people's minds. Oh hey that's not very funny is it?

Malkof posted:Free poo poo really scrambles people's minds. My dad passed last August- he was huge into fly fishing and fly tying and had two room's worth of fly tying stuff. Two of his dearest fly fishing buddies- Joe and Connor, didn't really like each other, and each specifically dragged my grieving mother into how much of my dad's stuff she had "allowed" the other to take. Swear to god I have never been so goddamned mad in my entire life as when she told me that Connor came into the house and bitched at my grieving widowed mother that she shouldn't have allowed Joe to take whatever the balls it was that he took (we're talking maybe a couple drawers worth of feathers and hooks here, not like fuckin cut diamonds or some poo poo). Wanted to jump in the car and make a 5+ hour drive so bad just to drag Connor's rear end out of his bed in the middle of the night and fight the gently caress out of him on his lawn for that poo poo. Also I have zero goddamned sympathy for anyone wanting grandma's furniture that she left to grandkid. My mother has taken care of my grandma's furniture her entire life because my mom's sister and brother "cannot stand the though of selling mom's furniture" and yet have zero interest in keeping it in their own homes. If mom dies without having gotten rid of it I'll have a bonfire in her front yard in her honor.

Me [32F] with my husband[33M] 12 years, he got caught lyingquote:My husband is addicted to porn (please no defenses against porn, as this isn't really what this is about), and has been since I met him. I told him when we were 21 that I didn't want him looking at porn anymore, and he agreed. 2 weeks later I found it on his computer during a party at his fraternity house. I would have left then, but I was drunk and didn't want to drive home. We had angry sex the next morning, during which I conceived a baby. We got married a few months later, during which time he swore he would never look at porn again. Hard to get a read on this with only one side of the story. Either he really does have a serious porn addiction that he needs to deal with and lying about it is pretty bad, or he has a "porn addiction" and he lied about it to avoid getting screamed at by his harpy wife.
