AITA for accepting money from a friend's estate against the wishes of their family?

He left them a token amount, so I'm guessing they have no legal legs left to stand on and can go right to hell.

They treated their father like poo poo and he still paid for their college educations.

Mopsy, I'm starting to question your medical credentials.

It's weird to characterize it as "she continued to have the affair for another year" when based on her description they had for all intents and purposes broken up, and he just refused to move out or acknowledge it. The normal thing to do in that situation, when you've insisted you're going to 'stay together for the kids' (bad) but can't actually bear to look at the other person, is to realize it won't work and leave. The only reason it's being characterized as continuing to have the affair, versus seeing her affair partner after the breakup, is that this dude refused to leave. She would not have gotten back together with him if he had done the healthy thing and left instead of bizarrely insisting that they were staying together, only to say after a lifetime of functional partnership that they had broken up years ago (and I guess she should have kept dating if she wanted love?)

And actually, rereading, I'm not convinced she did continue seeing the other guy? A year was how long it took for him to start acting like a normal boyfriend again, but she says getting caught prompted her to end the affair.

Sorry but it's insane to do that!! It's insane to pretend to be happy sharing a life with another person and it's insane to basically sabotage both your lives!!

I loving hate cheaters, but you break up with the cheater and move on, you don't martyr yourself in this bizarre way. It's not healthy!

He never prevented her from walking away from the situation after the affair either. She had as much choice in the situation as he did: she could split with him & be a single mom, or hope that he stuck around to father a kid that isn't his (while she's still banging her affair partner behind his back). Regardless of how it's painted, she had every opportunity to ask, clarify & understand he was being serious; sounds like she didn't do any of that & just assumed he "forgave" her even after he told her his plan.

They both suck, but the one continuing the affair & acting like her partner's future plan was a joke is the bigger rear end in a top hat IMHO.

Speaking of the categorical imperative "be gay, do crime", does anyone have the saga from /legaladvice where a family disowned their son for being gay, the son leaves his entire estate to his fiance, then the family "decide as a family" they actually deserve the money for the anguish son put them through by being a homosexual, and successfully pressured the executor to illegally give it to them. Then the fiance found out and the family freaked when told about the civil and criminal liability they were facing.

Do I deserve this divorce?

quote:

I came clean to my wife in June about having a one night stand with our neighbor one drunken night not long after moving to the neighborhood approximately 7 years ago. A big part of the issue is that the neighbor and my wife proceeded to became best friends for the next 5 years. They even got matching tattoos. Neither of us mentioned the one night stand to my wife for obvious reasons which is why they became good friends. We would hang out regularly, sometimes nightly as a group since she was right nextdoor, we even went on trips to the neighbors parent's cottage. Apparently, people who saw us had their suspicions and made comments to my wife which she would deny. I was an alcoholic at the time and have been sober for 4 years now. This happened 7 years ago but she still wants a divorce. The neighbor moved away 3 years ago and they stopped being friends for unrelated reasons. Do you think that's fair? Or an over reaction to something that happened a long time ago? Everything else in our relationship was good prior to this revalation.

Tl;dr : Cheated on my wife with a neighbor when we first moved in to the neighborhood 7 years ago who then became my wife's best friend for 5 years. Told my wife about it in June. Now she wants a divorce. Asking if that seems like a fair reaction given how long ago it was?

The woman was so far up her own rear end that she never bothered to talk to her partner about the elephant in the room. For 18 years. She convinced herself she’d eaten her cake kept it too. That’s on her. The dude kept a stable home environment for his child and his partner was pretty happy by her own admission too. I’m not seeing a problem.

I may be misreading that sudden divorce post, but the way I read it she had the affair 1 or 2 years after the kid was born, "it's been good for 16 years," "even though this happened 16 years ago," etc

Also kind of confused why people are saying the kid wasn't his or she continued the affair for a year, was it in the comments? This doesn't read like "carried on with the affair for a year" to me.

quote:

For about a year afterwards I could tell he could barely stand the sight of me but getting caught forced me to pull my poo poo together.

Either way, it doesn't sound like they ever talked about it from the initial convo until now which is kinda dumb!

The guy saying it one time then never discussing it again for 18 years while continuing to have sex with her and behave as though they were together *even in private* is cold-blooded psycho poo poo and way more hosed up than the instance of adultery imo. 18 years is a massive amount of time to live a lie and every single person going “but he told her one time when they had a fight 18 years ago!” would have assumed the exact same thing she did if they were in her position. Also this is absolutely going to gently caress up the kid way worse than separating and co-parenting at the outset; he’s been lying to his child for literally his whole life. People here are talking about it like it’s contract law lol

It's not even an AITA post, she is just looking for advice. And unfortunately there really isn't any to give - if the husband is this vindictive, she's not going to negotiate a better outcome here. Short of time travel, she can't undo the cheating and neglecting her family.

Sometimes bad old decisions come back to haunt people, even if they have made an effort to atone since. Fair or not.

AITA for telling my husband to have his therapy sessions somewhere else?

quote:

Me [F34] And my husband [M33] live in a 2 bedr apartment. He started recently attending online therapy. Reasons? No reason in particular. no losing family member, no recent traumas or accidents he just says he feels too overwhelmed with work (he works a demanding job but I won't mention it because I don't want him to be judged for it) he wanted to let off some steam and attend therapy. I 100% encouraged him and said 'go for it. However these therapy sessions have been happening for a period of 3 months. And he'd have 2 sessions in just one day. He says he found another therapist which's illogical to me but anyway. he'd stay in the bedroom for hours on end preventing me from coming in. I'm talking 3 to 4 hrs a day and Whenever I walk into the bedroom which was only twice the laptop gets slammed shut and my husband would just stare at me confused. I pointed out how rude it was to do this to his therapist(s) and he agressively replied that what's really rude is the way I barge in while he's trying to have his therapy session. He told me if I walk in one more time he will take matters into his own hands.

Yesterday I had an emergency and had to get inside the bedroom to get my pad pack which I keep in my closet. I kept knocking but he didn't answer so I walk in quietly but he immediately shuts his laptop and looks enraged then says "oh so we doin' this??? Okay" then he gets off his chair and starts lashing out saying "I'm struggling here and you don't even pretend to give a poo poo anymore!!! it's called privacy and you should respect that! NOW get out!!!". I get out and he locks the door. I was fuming at this point but managed to get my pad before he kicked me out. Out of respect I waited til his session was over and started arguing with him about how utterly bad it was of him to lock me out of the room that's supposed to be a. shared. space. between us. He said he had to lock me out because of my barging/snooping and continuous disrespect of his privacy. I straightup said he needed to start having his therapy sessions somewhere else since it's not okay for him to keep the bedroom busy for 4hrs. That's just too much!!!. He said I could go in and take whatever I need before he locks the door but I won't take all my stuff out that is not logical to me. I told him he could take his laptop and really go anywhere else wether in the apartment, coffeshop, car or even the parking lot! He shamed me and said this is his apartment too and that I was being negative and disrespectful instead of supportive and understanding of his situation

We've been arguing about it for hours til now.

Now I'm leaving this to you. Am i wrong for asking him that?.

Edit#

One I'd like to clarify that it's not everyday but multiple days a week. And two some of you here guessed what his work is and I agree that he could use some therapy and I supported him when he first started and also suggested the other room since he's a very private person and has issues opening up about whatever struggle he's dealing with. Still he thinks I'm not helping and causing him more stress and anxiety.

From the comments

quote:

We have a joint account but he said he's not using it to pay for his therapy since he has money in another account that was dedicated for saving for a new truck but he's no longer sure about buying it.

(MA) late brother's partner suing family for Money

quote:

Our brother age 34M died of cancer 9 months ago. He was very successful and left behind money and assets. He also had a Will. My brother was also in a gay relationship for 8 years with a 28M partner. Our family is religious and yes we may not have approved the relationship we still loved our brother. He unfortunately died of cancer and left a will. Left most of the money to his gay partner. They weren't even married. We decided money to be kept within the family and but gave his partner some money. We also paid for brothers funeral and medical Bill's. We thought that was the end of it. But now his ex partner is suing us for the rest of the funds. I don't know how he got hold of the will. My family is still grieving and now this man wants to take us to court. Trying to see how to solve this without involving the court. Thank you for your advice

top rated comment posted:

So, things you can worry about :

-To be sued for the value of everything that was detailed to him in the will. You will almost certainly lose.
-Punitive damages. Don't be surprised if they go for triple.
-You'll be on the hook for attorney's fees.
-If the value was >$1200, then the sister could, in theory, be charged with felony theft/conversion and/or contempt of the probate court. That would also come with fees and possible jail time.

The real question is who the court will force to repay the money. The person with the most exposure is the sister, as the executor. She's looking at a complete and total wipeout, and she cannot discharge that debt in bankruptcy. She can expect wages to be garnished, tax refunds and lottery winnings to be garnished, her credit to be trashed, and if she is charged with anything, severely limited future employment prospects.

OP posted:

OMG, we didn't know it could be this serious. It is all my fault, I convinced my sister to do what the family wanted. We didn't k ow and are shocked that his boyfriend would sue us. I am going to have a family meeting with friends and try to come up with as much money as I can. Omg am very nervous and didn't realize how horrible this could get. Thank you for the advice.

We are trying to make it right. Most of his money he made we helped support him with his business. My parents raised him and paid for his school, dont they deserve that money more than his so called friend? They weren't even married let alone engaged.

My sister was in charge of the will, according to his partner he did not want to be in charge because ' he didn't want to deal with us' 'he hates us' so my sister who was best friends with my brother acted as the middle ground for us and his partner. We were shocked when we read the will. We didn't expect it to be that unfair. I am trying to make it right

Update: thank you all for the advice and yes I am very stupid for not realizing how serious this was from the beginning. I am having a family meeting and we will figure out a way to up with money so my we dont make things worse with the law. My brother left us some properties so I will make sure to do the right thing and pay his partner. Meeting with a lawyer soon so I can do this the right way. God bless you all.


The part that always gets me is how OP is completely fixated on how the son's partner got a copy of the will, like that was the real problem and not the theft.. I also vaguely remember OP's original comments referring to the son's partner as just "friend" before editing to partner/boyfriend, trying to downplay their relationship as much as possible. I hope the partner eventually got the money that was rightfully his.

Joke option is he somehow lost his police job and is himself doing porn to pay the bills.

While his domestic abuse of OP does certainly sound coppy, copsuckers tend to be stupid enough to think everyone else loves cops too, so wouldn't say something like this. I feel like he's probably some cop prestige class like ICE child concentration camp guard.

At least one of his therapists (probably the second one) he acquired to brag about his infidelity when he didn't get the reaction he wanted from his first one who he now sticks to telling about ways he violated the Geneva conventions while at work.

So

You don't want to go to a shelter because you will lose your kid. Fair, though I'm unsure of how that works (not being sarcastic I don't know the law here)

So your big brain idea is to commit perjury, which will ensure your kid will be taken away. The moment the court finds out you've lied to them they will destroy you in whatever ways are allowed, both legal and underhanded
