Yup. Too many adjectives, which makes it look as if someone is trying to lengthen the whole text, making it sound like a bad novel where the writer gets paid per every word more than 4 letters. Either it's a post that has been 'prettied up' to gather views, or it's AI written.
Upon hearing she has a kid my immediate thought was "get out!" But then I realized.... Oh yeah, my own girlfriend has two kids from a past relationship 😂😂 Funny how you see things differently than when you actually experience them.
These AITAs are just getting ridiculous now, honestly, laughable: “…after he r….ped me for the third time, I asked if I could go to the bathroom - that I was dying to pee. AITA for being selfish and thinking only of my own needs…?” Lol
I usually don't mind fake stories but there are two things that bother me when listening to them. 1. The overly extravagant writing style (fx. "Her smile illuminated the room like a blossomed lily in the moonlight sky") because these stories are meant to be read as "real" and "real" people who are looking for advice don't write reddit posts like novellas. 2. The dumb AITA questions (fx. "AITA for calling my sister dumb when she demanded I give her my newborn baby?") because why the everlasting f*** would anyone think they would be the a-hole in these kinds of situations? It's just stupid.
@snowstorm_ice the reason for the 2 one is that they keep being told by friends and/or family that they are the ahole for doing that. so having the people you trest the most tell you "your in the wrong" again and again you start to think you are the one in the wrong
Hey, person running this channel, don't let some of these borderline obnoxious comments get to you. I for one don't really care if they're even remotely fake/real stories. I use your videos as background noise/something to listen to all the time, so thank you.
you don't get mad at it for being bad you get mad at it for having ridiculous logic like WHO THE FUCK CARES ABOUT FLYING COWS GOING TO THE MOON???? I swear undertale fanfics are a whole new breed
She got pregnant at 16. They met in college. He did an internship at a company. He spent three years traveling abroad. They get married roughly one year later. The kid is now 5 years old. Something’s not adding up
@@unknownunknown_ bro if she got pregnant at 16, she graduates high school at 18, goes through 4 years of college, and then 3 more years of this guy’s internship, and then they get married a year after, the kid would be 9 or 10. It’s literally impossible for the kid to be 5 unless she somehow graduated high school a year early and went through the entirety of college in a single year
Don’t forget that it started with him saying he was 35. She had the kid at 16, they met when the kid was 2 and she was 18. Now the kid is 5. Meaning he was 30 when she was 16. They “met in college” they way gross super seniors meet girls in college- by overstaying the normal age threshold in those social situations.
Maybe it me, but they parents are too dense & stuck up to realize that using inheritance as financial sting is not going to work on younger sibling that 1) making more money than the value of the farm / property to point he has his own separate properties and 2) managed to get into his career plus succeed in his field despite them trying to block & dictate his life while withholding money from him. Then there's matter of children - It's clear OP not planning to have his own bio-children and even if he did, he would make sure his all his kids including Harry inherit from him due to, again his finances being better than his dingbat parents. Plus older brother seems to have his own kids, so family bio-line already continue since only need one to technically have grandkid(s) anyway. If anything, the parents, older brother and his wife screwed themselves out of OP and Elena's good graces with stupidity; thus will not receive any help when hardships happen. Just saying...
My soon wife to be loves my daughter like if she was her own. They always get along so well. I'm forever grateful for the love shared in my home. To all of you step parents out there. If possible, give love to those whom truly need it. Thank you.
The math does not ADD UP. Elena was pregnant at 16, Harry is 2 at time of first date. So she's 18-19 at beginning of story. They/He Graduated college, He has internship, travels for 3 yrs then takes on a new job. So at this point they should be about 26-7 minimum, so Harry should be at approx 10 yrs old NOT 5. This is the REVERSE of soap opera aging LOL (ETA)So OP is 35? If Elena and OP are approx same age(which seems likely from narrative) then Harry should be an adult by time of story(35-17=18)
If you've ever used an AI platform of any kind you'll know that's exactly like it usually writes things. The older stories feel more genuine and real even if they may not be, but the new ones are totally AI generated simply because of the way it's written. This channel seems to be a mix of reddit (real or fake) stories and AI generated ones for the sake of daily content.
Oh most definitely particularly these people I haven't even heard the story and I know a single mother in one of those small towns is going to be treated like a pariah no matter the circumstances and also his parents had accepted Harry he would've been turned into a hand on the farm he would have been a stranger in the family and Elena be treated just as bad Small towns at their best can be very welcoming and at their worst they can be colder than the coldest winters
Nah, the short ones are usually the real stories from reddit but they always have the same topic about cheating and revenge divorce so it's kind of boring to read/listen with the same plot again and again. 😅
@@MrArielK usually they change the titles so if that’s what you’re searching by, then you won’t find anything, but some of them are definitely real.

How stupid that a lot of people don't realize that some people speak very poetically like OP in Story 1. Don't assume something is fake just from the way its written. I write very differently from how I speak, as does everyone.
This is HILARIOUS. So let me get this straight. The single mother stigma must be at play here right. Meaning they see her as loose and unstable etc... Ok so let's introduce her to a homewrecking floozy is somehow better just bc she's the floozy THEY chose? YIKES OP RUN AWAY!
If you are gonna make it so "generative" you know what the best comback moment would be ? OP ans Elena being pregnant with their child when they cut off contact 😂😂😂
Hearing stories like these solidifies my belief that more people should take a moment to enjoy Firefly and Serenity, take notes of how captain Malcolm Reynolds addresses situations like these and just copy+paste where needed. That character is truly a treasure trove of insight as how to handle anything from the unpleasant to the unhinged in discussions.
Story 1: Man this family is nuts. "You're so immature!" So OP falling in love with a single mother and stepping up to be a child's father is immature? Really? Like I can get the family's feelings and they can voice concerns, but they have no right to tell OP what to do. Also that calling OP after years, only to gang up on him in order to force him unto divorcing his wife and abandoning his son, set him up with some random woman, all the wile OP's wife is there? Psychotic. OP is a freaking adult and they cannot force him what they want him to do. The family needs to let it go and get over themselves Edit: So that's it. The family wants OP to have bio kids and they feel like Harry doesn't count and will get in the way to having bio grandkids/nieces/nephews/etc. Be careful OP. The "family" might come to weasel in if OP and Elena were to have children of their own
Commenting as if the story is real: Even though I wouldn’t advocate for any childless man to enter into a long-term relationship with a single mother, the family was wrong for trying to sabotage OPs relationship. Further compounded by doing it so brazenly.
The line "they are your parents, they know you best" is absolutely wild. Guess what, your kid isnt you. Your kid is its own being. It has its own feels, emotions, ideas and ways of things. Pressuring then and harassing them to get them to do what YOU want with THEIR life is baffling to me.
My Brother: Why do you like to watch these? Me: They are entertaining My Brother: Ohh you like drama without being in it Me: I really don’t My Brother: Yes you do and his channel his your kingdom and your the king Me: I really don’t like watching drama the stories he post are interesting My brother: How much does he post? Me: Three times a day. Why? My brother: Good news for the king Me: F*** off There is really no point to this I just wanted to type something
Given that the aunt welcomed Elena warmly, I would reach out to the extended family and share my disappointment in their support of... how to put it... treating me and my union like chattle for the sləughter? See their reactions and close that chapter as well.
so she had the son at 16...but when they got married, he was 5...so elena should've been 21 at the time...but op said he finished college and there was a 3 year long distance...so they should be 25...so the son should be 9, but somehow he's 5? 💀
Why did his parents invite the wife if they were gonna try to set him up with someone else? To make the reconciliation believable? To embarrass his wife?
Speaking from my personal experience, I realized, years ago, that: 1) your parents cannot pick your partner; and 2) I cannot pick a partner for my offspring. Both her parents and my parents weren't happy when my wife and I got married, we celebrated out 51st anniversary last week, My wife and I weren't impressed by the girl our son married. They celebrated their 33rd anniversary a couple of months ago.
What normal parents would want their kid to date a single parent i could understand the dude if he was a single parent to, but hes child free he have no right to the kid if they break up
I never understood the concept of threatening someone with your will. Like if they back down as a result you realize that means they only keep a relationship with you as a means to inherit what you own right? They don't love you or respect you
"Elana" is obviously not a "deliberately single mother", and the OP stepping up is a good thing. His family really have issues, to put it mildly. The fact they had no problem with a divorced woman, but one with another man's child is bad?!?!? The worst part is that the brother really doesn't get how wrong their parents wrong. OP is very much a real man, especially as it is obvious that "Nick", the BF, doesn't deserve "Harry", so the OP adopting them is a good thing. "it's fake!" Actually, some details getting changed always happens.
I don’t know why but this one made me cry. I wish someone had even loved me an ounce of what this man loved his wife. Wasted so many years gaslighted by words With little action.
As much as I like the idea of saying "OK" in response to "We'll cut you out of the will!", not responding is better, because then they never really know if it was read or not. Did it make it therre? Sometimes emails do get lost along the way, or maybe he had a lot and accidentally deleted it, or ... But yeah, if I was ever told by a relative that I'm out of their will if I don't do X, then my response is, "Okay. I won't expect to get a contact from a lawyer when you finally make the world a better place by leaving it." (Hey, they want to cut ties? I'll show them how it's done.)
While by default i dont believe internet stories, it's an age old real life trope that you shouldn't saddle yourself with stepkids and im just like... after 3 years of raising the kid what would make anybody think better of him for leaving? How could you recommend such a person as a partner/future father to another person after seeing them leave another family? It wouldn't exactly fill me with confidence in his ability to commit.
OP’s family is absolutely pathetic. I get the feeling that their reasonings behind hating Elena besides her being a teen/single mother is that they perceive her as being the one that strayed Op off the path of living in their hometown for the rest of his life and working on the family farm
'My SIL said there were better options than Elena, and even suggested setting me up with some of her friends. I asked "I thought you said Better Options" '
If the story was real: I asked my college BFF on a date, and she thought it was fun, we loved it so much, she eventually told me that she was a single mom, and i tood her i would be happy with raising her kid with her, and she was happy, we went in more dates until we agreed to marry eachother, then my family tried to make me leave her for someone else they liked.
OP is from small, relatively obscure town, they have a sibling that either supports them completely through everything or completely despises them, enter love interest, bringing the family together or tearing them apart. Not even a minute in and you can tell that this is fake af
So your familie wants for you to be unhappy for the rest of your life? What would make them think you would be happy with that other girl? Love doesnt work that way…
Tbh if this was real and my parents had tried this on me, I wouldn’t have any parents anymore. They know I cannot abide trickery, lies or trying to force me to do something, and will in fact destroy them and burn everything logically down even if it burns myself 😂 they have never been that way tho. They’re fair people and not delusional. If they had some sorta issue they’d come and discuss it with me as that’s what regular adults do, not try some sorta trap 🤣
Every month for the rest of your lives, you should send your parents video of you happy with your son and your wife and when you guys have your own children, you should send them videos of all of you together, but never answer the phone again and do not ever go see them again
This is my Opinion, but I'm honestly in that position where I'd be with a Women who don't have Kids from a Passed Relationship. But hey anyone can be the Step Parent, but there are consequences of being the Step Parent because they're gonna be Accusations, such as 🍇, Abuse, or Resentments. I've watched a lot of Steve Wilkos, and other Shows how the Step Parent is viewed as the Villain, but aren't.
"Family Invited My Wife and I to "Mend Things" but It Was Really a Setup to Pressure Me to Divorce Her for Someone They Prefer. So I Walked Out." Um....yes. What else would you do?
SO NTA! If i was OP I would not have listened to a word after “Gigi and you would make a great couple” Personally would I just have said NOPE! And when taken my wife and left for never to be heard from again.
F it. I hope the next update the AI writes is that the bio dad decided to step in and his tramp gf left him so now he ran crying to Gigi who found a better person and the gf got his house in the divorce so now he has to live in his dad's basement.
This one kind of hurt to listen to because my step dad took care of me and I’m happy because he is better then my bio dad who wasn’t a good man I witnessed my bio dads bad deeds myself so don’t say anything about my step dad or mom turning me against my bio dad

Me: I really don’t like watching drama the stories he post are interesting
My brother: How much does he post?
Me: Three times a day. Why?
My brother: Good news for the king
Me: F*** off
There is really no point to this I just wanted to type something
that kid would not be 5 years old after all that time. creative writing assistant though
If I was your parents, I’d be proud AF!
"when I met her son, I i fell in love with him the same way I fell in love with his mother"
😂😂
Yep 100% true. 100% real.
Bro writes like he's Drell escaping into his memories.
They should said: "this is a responsibility to take"
Not saying i can set you up 💀
Damn, the betrayal hits hard
When they said they were cutting him out of the will I'd have said that's fine the only thing you would get from me is thirty pieces of silver
Given that the aunt welcomed Elena warmly, I would reach out to the extended family and share my disappointment in their support of... how to put it... treating me and my union like chattle for the sləughter? See their reactions and close that chapter as well.
so she had the son at 16...but when they got married, he was 5...so elena should've been 21 at the time...but op said he finished college and there was a 3 year long distance...so they should be 25...so the son should be 9, but somehow he's 5? 💀
Why did his parents invite the wife if they were gonna try to set him up with someone else? To make the reconciliation believable? To embarrass his wife?
“Photography is too girly!”
Spiderman: 👁️👄👁️
I like how henry was two when they met but 5 when they married. I feel like there might a few missing years
Speaking from my personal experience, I realized, years ago, that: 1) your parents cannot pick your partner; and 2) I cannot pick a partner for my offspring. Both her parents and my parents weren't happy when my wife and I got married, we celebrated out 51st anniversary last week, My wife and I weren't impressed by the girl our son married. They celebrated their 33rd anniversary a couple of months ago.
O no… a single mother is in public and living a normal life?! Let me find my pearls to clutch…
people suck
What normal parents would want their kid to date a single parent i could understand the dude if he was a single parent to, but hes child free he have no right to the kid if they break up
Spiderman was a fantastic photographer, wouls you say what he does is "girly"? Lmao
You left her alone !!!
I never understood the concept of threatening someone with your will.
Like if they back down as a result you realize that means they only keep a relationship with you as a means to inherit what you own right?
They don't love you or respect you
I got bored, and maybe I lost the part where OP explained step-child's skin colour coul've been the reason for his family not lining Elena..
"Elana" is obviously not a "deliberately single mother", and the OP stepping up is a good thing. His family really have issues, to put it mildly. The fact they had no problem with a divorced woman, but one with another man's child is bad?!?!? The worst part is that the brother really doesn't get how wrong their parents wrong. OP is very much a real man, especially as it is obvious that "Nick", the BF, doesn't deserve "Harry", so the OP adopting them is a good thing.
"it's fake!" Actually, some details getting changed always happens.
I don’t know why but this one made me cry. I wish someone had even loved me an ounce of what this man loved his wife. Wasted so many years gaslighted by words With little action.
Does Gigi have no self respect? I would be mortified if I was her
As much as I like the idea of saying "OK" in response to "We'll cut you out of the will!", not responding is better, because then they never really know if it was read or not. Did it make it therre? Sometimes emails do get lost along the way, or maybe he had a lot and accidentally deleted it, or ...
But yeah, if I was ever told by a relative that I'm out of their will if I don't do X, then my response is, "Okay. I won't expect to get a contact from a lawyer when you finally make the world a better place by leaving it." (Hey, they want to cut ties? I'll show them how it's done.)
While by default i dont believe internet stories, it's an age old real life trope that you shouldn't saddle yourself with stepkids and im just like... after 3 years of raising the kid what would make anybody think better of him for leaving? How could you recommend such a person as a partner/future father to another person after seeing them leave another family? It wouldn't exactly fill me with confidence in his ability to commit.
What a bunch of awful, closed-minded people. I would go NC and be done with them and focus on YOUR family
OP’s family is absolutely pathetic. I get the feeling that their reasonings behind hating Elena besides her being a teen/single mother is that they perceive her as being the one that strayed Op off the path of living in their hometown for the rest of his life and working on the family farm
I understand why parents were dead against about marrying a single mother.
'My SIL said there were better options than Elena, and even suggested setting me up with some of her friends. I asked "I thought you said Better Options" '
I hope in the future OP will post a small update where he'll tell us that he adopted Harry
Bro started out with a romance novel
oh my me, who cares if it's fake or not, as long as it is entertaining
Not into dating a single mom . But if the guy is okay with it,then it is no one's business
If the story was real:
I asked my college BFF on a date, and she thought it was fun, we loved it so much, she eventually told me that she was a single mom, and i tood her i would be happy with raising her kid with her, and she was happy, we went in more dates until we agreed to marry eachother, then my family tried to make me leave her for someone else they liked.
The good thing about this channel is that you know all the stories are fake. No expectations, just cotton candy for the brain.
Parents care only about their own happiness not ops.
maybe the parents and brother should reevaluate their actions as it could drive OP away. Jerks like that don't think about such outcomes
Ai flexing its writing skills
Usually I'd have said, op's parents are AHs, but why do my guts say there's more to this story
So how long before the parents say that the brothers wife is doing something they don't approve of and tell him to divorce her and get with Gigi?
“Now you’re a single mom”
who said that op and his wife wouldn't have kids. Also I'm wondering how they would react if he where gay.
OP is from small, relatively obscure town, they have a sibling that either supports them completely through everything or completely despises them, enter love interest, bringing the family together or tearing them apart.
Not even a minute in and you can tell that this is fake af
So your familie wants for you to be unhappy for the rest of your life? What would make them think you would be happy with that other girl? Love doesnt work that way…
Tbh if this was real and my parents had tried this on me, I wouldn’t have any parents anymore. They know I cannot abide trickery, lies or trying to force me to do something, and will in fact destroy them and burn everything logically down even if it burns myself 😂 they have never been that way tho. They’re fair people and not delusional. If they had some sorta issue they’d come and discuss it with me as that’s what regular adults do, not try some sorta trap 🤣
also, NEVER get involved with childed people. maybe this works out but I think the majority don't
Every month for the rest of your lives, you should send your parents video of you happy with your son and your wife and when you guys have your own children, you should send them videos of all of you together, but never answer the phone again and do not ever go see them again
If you or anybody has an actual problem, just try to get to the point as fast as possible. Saves a lot of time
Why do parents always feel the need to meddle in they child’s relationships that’s why most relationships end cause people stay in y’all’s business 🙄
This is my Opinion, but I'm honestly in that position where I'd be with a Women who don't have Kids from a Passed Relationship. But hey anyone can be the Step Parent, but there are consequences of being the Step Parent because they're gonna be Accusations, such as 🍇, Abuse, or Resentments. I've watched a lot of Steve Wilkos, and other Shows how the Step Parent is viewed as the Villain, but aren't.

"Family Invited My Wife and I to "Mend Things" but It Was Really a Setup to Pressure Me to Divorce Her for Someone They Prefer. So I Walked Out." Um....yes. What else would you do?
Maybe divorce her and marry the other
man another story that i heard but i prefer this channel
I hope the family realice was stupid they were specially the brother because he knew how Op trust him and how this betrayal destroy his relationship….
SO NTA!
If i was OP I would not have listened to a word after “Gigi and you would make a great couple”
Personally would I just have said NOPE! And when taken my wife and left for never to be heard from again.
F it. I hope the next update the AI writes is that the bio dad decided to step in and his tramp gf left him so now he ran crying to Gigi who found a better person and the gf got his house in the divorce so now he has to live in his dad's basement.
This one kind of hurt to listen to because my step dad took care of me and I’m happy because he is better then my bio dad who wasn’t a good man I witnessed my bio dads bad deeds myself so don’t say anything about my step dad or mom turning me against my bio dad
