  • OOP

    I honestly think it’s because the police came to their house with their sirens on and all the neighbors came out so the embarrassment would have been unreal and she was probably taking that anger out on him

    ~

    Ok-Replacement7697

    What did your girlfriend say about all this?

    has she apologized?

    the cousin will receive any sanction ?

    How long will your girlfriend spend in jail?

    Has anyone in her family said something?

    will you keep updating this? I hope so

    OOP

    She honestly said a lot of stuff like. How I am prioritizing cards over a human. I’m choosing things over my GF so I’m objectifying her, which makes me a misogynist, and she hopes I never get sex or a partner and I die miserably. She said all kinds of wild stuff and no, she hasn’t apologized.

    The cousin got nothing. He and his parents lied and my sister said not to say anything since we were getting what we wanted, which is the cards. I don’t know what else to update. I should get my cards soon.

  • TLDR: We talked and decided to break up. I couldn’t forgive him for digging through my family’s lives like that and I wasn’t comfortable to be with someone like that. Mike broke up with me since he felt our financial gap was too big to handle. It was a mutually agreed breakup.

    I also wanted to clarify some things:

    -A lot of people were asking about the car. Mike’s car is old and used, and it was gifted to him by his uncle since he doesn’t use it anymore. It’s about 8 years old. Mike didn’t buy the car.

    -Mike doesn’t know the true value of my parents’ money. That’s why he was digging around. It seems like people on Reddit thought that I was perceived middle class or poor. I never was. Mike and others knew I lived a life that was well off. I just never talked about money that’s all. Mike does not know about my parents’ other assets. He started thinking we had more money than he thought because he found out about the vacation home. That’s why he tried digging through my family’s information. He still doesn’t even know close to anything since my parents keep their assets secret. Even I don’t know them. People don’t start digging into you until you give them a reason to.

    Ok so apparently 8 years is not old for a car. Sorry I don’t know how cars work. 😂 But its been heavily used anyway

    Relevant Comments

    Commenter 1: NTA. You don’t need to share this info until you’re comfortable. I didn’t know a fraction of the wealth of my wife’s parents until after we were married. Didn’t really make a difference to me, other than some behaviors made more sense after I knew.

    Don’t take this the wrong way, but I would lean on the side of caution & not share anything regarding your family’s wealth or status until you are married/committed & comfortable. Money does odd things to people, even those who are normally “good”

    OOP: After all this, I might do just that. Or at least until engagment

    Commenter 2: NTA I see red flags. You are right to keep your family’s finances private. You know what’s their’s is their’s.

    Commenter 3: You’re not putting yourself in his shoes at all. He’s struggling and you do nothing because “what if he turns out to be a gold digger”.

    If you were never going to give him a chance you shouldn’t have led him on. If you have weird hangups about poor people then I guess just date rich ones.

    OOP: It’s not that I was scared he would be a gold digger. I did get nervous he would react negatively but at the same time, it’s my family’s wealth not mine. We only dated 3 months, which is too soon to open up about all my financial secrets.

    And I did nothing? I did help out. I tried to get him a job, he said no. I drove him around. I’ve been there to emotionally support him

  • Update 2 Sept 9, 2024

    Last week, my husband showed up at our home completely out of control. He wasn’t supposed to be there, but he came without any warning, and right away, he started yelling. He was accusing me and our 15-year-old daughter of being against him, saying we were plotting to destroy him. He was furious. I tried to calm him down, but it just made him angrier. He started throwing things and shouting that we were ruining his life.

    Then, he turned on our daughter. He called her a “whore” and said she was supposed to be the “good one,” but she had turned against him too. He was moving toward her like he was going to hit her, and I got between them to protect her. That’s when he shoved me so hard I hit the wall, and he slapped me across the face. I was stunned, but he didn’t stop. He grabbed my throat and started strangling me. I fought back, scratching and biting to get him off me. Meanwhile, my daughter managed to call the police while this was happening. She was terrified, but she stayed on the phone with them, begging for help.

    When the police arrived, they arrested him right away. He’s now facing charges for domestic violence, and the court has put a restraining order in place. I can’t even explain how scary that moment was, but I’m just glad my daughter was able to call for help. I don’t know what would have happened otherwise.

    The legal process is moving quickly now, especially after the violence. The court has ordered a psychiatric evaluation to see if he’s fit to even be around our daughters, let alone have visitation rights. At this point, I’m expecting full custody of my 15-year-old. She’s been through so much, and she doesn’t want to see her father anymore, even if it’s supervised. I think the court will honor that, especially given everything that has happened.

    On top of all of this, the videos my 19-year-old daughter posted online have continued to spread. A lot of people have reached out with their own stories about the things my husband told them—things I didn’t even know he had said. It’s hard to hear, but it’s also helping me understand just how bad it was. Some of the delusions he had included:

    • He thought I was part of a secret group plotting to harm him.

    • He believed our 19-year-old was spying on him for me.

    He thought our 15-year-old was trying to poison him by putting something in his food.

    He said his mother was having an affair with her best friend.

    He told his father that I hired a private investigator to follow him.

    He thought a family friend was trying to take over his business.

    He said one of my close friends was in love with me and trying to help me leave him.

    He told neighbors that I was going to sell our house and leave him with nothing.

    He believed my boss was helping me hide money in offshore accounts.

    He thought our daughters were hiding secret phones and communicating behind his back.

    He accused me of manipulating our children to turn them against him.

    He said his sister was trying to steal his inheritance.

    He believed I had hidden cameras in the house to watch him.

    He accused me of using witchcraft to control his mind.

    He thought I was planning to flee the country with our daughters.

    It’s been overwhelming to hear how far his paranoia went. Some friends have apologized and now understand what was really happening, but others still believe his stories, and that’s been hard. I’m not sure how to fix all the relationships that were damaged by this.

    I’ve also been getting a lot of questions about what has happened with my daughter’s therapy and the divorce process, so I’ll explain a bit. At first, we had to put my daughter into telehealth because we were waiting for an in-person spot with the therapist we were referred to by our doctor. It took some time to get that set up and approved, but now she’s seeing someone regularly, and it’s been helping.

    As for the divorce, it could have been simple, but my husband has turned it into a high-conflict situation. I’ve been so frustrated with how slow it’s been going, especially because it didn’t need to be like this. But because of everything he’s done, the courts have had to be more careful, and it’s taking longer than expected. I’m only communicating with him through lawyers now. Once everything is done, I plan to move with my 15-year-old to start over somewhere else, away from all of this.

    That’s where things stand now. It’s been a horrible, painful experience, but I’m doing my best to keep my daughters safe and make sure we can move forward. Thank you again to everyone who has supported us through this—it really means a lot.

  • Given the severity of the situation and the damage done to our lives, I’m making plans to move away with my daughter once the legal proceedings are finalized. My reputation in our current community is shattered, thanks to his delusions and the lies he has spread. Starting fresh somewhere new seems like the only way for us to heal and rebuild our lives.

    I never wanted it to come to this. I still care deeply for my husband, but I can’t keep sacrificing our well-being for the sake of his image. The revelation that he’s been lying to his therapist (or rather, his unqualified “life coach”) was a breaking point for me—I realized I couldn’t trust him to get better on his own. Thankfully, some friends have started to see through his stories and are reaching out to support us, which gives me hope. But I know it’s going to be a long, difficult road ahead.

    For anyone else in a similar situation, please know that you’re not alone. This has been the hardest decision I’ve ever made, but sometimes you have to do what’s best for your own mental health and safety, no matter how much it hurts.

    Thank you again for all the advice. I’m hopeful that this is the first step towards a better future, even if it’s a painful one.
