He can't be very rich, there has to be some angle here. Why'd she marry him? Most likely reasons? I still think probably money. We're not really given a clear picture of how much wealth he or his family may have, and Covid could explain the size and limitations of the wedding. Also 'richness/riches' is kind of relative, so she may view someone who's set to inherit 1/2 a million dollars as pie in the sky rich and worth faking a marriage over.

It could also just be that having sex with the child she groomed is where she draws the line, consciously or not.

A lot of the comments postulated a possible STD which I think is also a fair guess. We can all agree, there are no positive theories, which I feel like homeboy was absolutely dying for.

She secretly works in porn. She finds him unattractive but just kind of passively went along with 'dating' him for years for some hosed up reason. So many possibilities, and they're all terrible.

Posted byu/evward AITA for not wanting my wife to take a nap? quote:My wife (37), my two kids (2.5 and 8 months), and I (33) have all had colds recently. My wife has issues with anxiety that make it hard for her to get out of bed in the morning. As a result, most mornings she wakes up between 10 am and 11 am. I get up with the kids around 8 am everyday since they are usually already up. Posted byu/Obvious_Tone_5788 AITA for telling my dad that I don't want him walking my cousin down the aisle? quote:My (16F) cousin (23F) is getting married in november, she's the only daughter of my dad's brother. For some context, we don't get along at all, she bullied me while growing up and after my uncle passed away she tried to ''steal'' my dad, he never allowed it and made time for both of us but to this day my cousin still says that I was a bitch for not letting her have a paternal figure, which is not true.

And why try to steal it while she is wearing it if all the other times he stole it while it was unattended? I don't understand. Probably the first time he hid it was to see if she'd notice that it was gone, so he just shoved it under the cushions. The second time he knew she would notice, so he hid it better. Probably waiting to see it she'd raise a fuss. Third time, he was desperate to steal it, and all his "brilliant" plans had been foiled by her ability to look under cushions.

Tarkus posted:But would you actually stay behind? Hospitals during Covid are complete bullshit, and there is shockingly little contact allowed even by close relations. While there is clearly some uncontrolled alcoholism going on, if I did some drunk poo poo and got in hospital over it, I also wouldn't wish any of the rest of my vacation party to have to get a hotel in a different city and sit there waiting for visitors hours, when they couldn't do anything useful, and maybe not even be able to smuggle me booze. Maybe a new line item in the pre-vacation checklist, get clear on who, if anybody, has to go home when somebody else gets their dumb rear end emergency evaced. So, my judgement is that while as the dude acknowledges, it sounds bad, he probably couldn't have done much if he had followed dad to hospital.

Yeah it makes him look real lovely, and he kind of is for other reasons, but ultimately he would have been able to do exactly as much to help sitting on his rear end in a hotel or waiting room as he did sitting on his rear end at the lake.

Lol I went back to reread it assuming dad had made some kind of "you won't be able to help anyway, please save the ice fishing tradition", which I could see some sympathy for, but no, dude just apparently decided to stay on his own.

I don't think the alcoholism and staying behind was the problem, so much as the lack of communication with the sisters AND the prior lack of compassion to other family members in medical situations. quote:"Well, my sister is PISSED because no one was with my dad and because I told her I assumed that she would get him Monday when she got home. The fishing trip is expensive. Her flight gets in around 6 pm so she has time to drive up and get him. She said I was irresponsible and always forcing her to do everything for our family. She threw in my face that when our mom was in hospice, I only visited a few times while she took FMLA and moved in. She told my aunt (my mom's sister) because she wanted to see if my aunt could get him because she thought 10 pm would be too late to pick him up, but she'd just been in a car accident and her car is in the shop." This is not the first time he's left his sister to do all the emotional burdens, in person familial support, and legal work. I don't know how legal and medical procedures work for emergency surgeries, but having a family member not in pain or injured would be useful. At least the father wouldn't have woken up alone, or have to deal with confusing medical things while in pain. Again, he's 80 years old. Even if he's sharp as a tack, medical things would be confusing to the elderly. Maybe it's because I'm afab but have additional advocates in general medical scenarios is important. Yeah I acknowledge I'm projecting a bit on the last bit.

I think the fact that the dad was taken to a place multiple hours away is what makes the son so bad. If he was only like 40 minutes away I’d be more forgiving.

My guess the thought process is he wanted to sell it and didn't have anyone to sell it to so he stole it, then hid it somewhere in semi plain sight so that if she found it she'd think she misplaced it as opposed to finding it with his stuff.

Somebody needs to be there when he's checked in, saying "No, he doesn't have a history of heart problems, yes, he might have hit his head when he fell, he's being treated for high blood pressure, next of kin is me and my sister." Strangers can't do that job. And no, telling the paramedics who tell the hospital isn't the same, because the hospital may have follow-up questions.
