Bottom Line: op is not sorry. He doesn’t give a shit about what he did but can’t live with the guilt. He feels entitled to forgiveness. OP, leave your fucking brother alone.
see you don't understand , the room was dark and OP tripped then 4 stray dogs stole his pants and they happened to have tripped onto a trampoline and had no choice but to bounce up and down , total mistake
“And me hiding behind my kids as the reason why I don’t regret what I did; but i don’t understand why my entitled attitude and gaslighting ‘aren’t working anymore”
Exactly. He doesn't want any God damn reconciliation, he just wants to do the same crappy stunt he did to his brother, so he could compare which pussy is better. People like him tend to think with their peenies instead of their heads, hence why they're untrustworthy
Glad Ezra had one brother worth the oxygen he's breathing. OP, you have the gf, your kids, and the rest of the family- leave your brothers alone, they're better off away from the traitorous lot of you. And big shock that stepmom sides with and encourages the cheaters, now she finally has something in common with her stepkids!
It's greatly upsetting that someone can cheat and still marry that person and live happily ever after like they didn't just destroy lives with their crap. And "I'm sorry" doesn't fix anything.
look on the bright side, they tore apart their own family just to live in a pensive insecure marriage that may end in infidelity itself, their karma is already kind of present and can absolutely get worse, which i bet it will. the girlfriend originally cheated cuz OPs brother wasnt always around, now she worries that her husband regrets her and shes pulling away emotionally. i suspect shes already within 6 months of starting an affair with someone, especially since she even still refuses to acknowledge she ever cheated or did anything wrong even a decade later. neither of them understand accountability and that fault is starting to tear at the marriage they willfully burned bridges and ruined lives for. just give it time and i bet eventually the story will be part of a saga where OP realizes his wife started cheating or that his youngest isnt his or something.
Since they matched and built a faimily of their own, it's not as upsetting as it would if htey just had broken up right after the events. At least they did built something out of that crap.
If i was the betrayed brother, i wouldnt reconcile with you even if we both died and i had to roam the earth instead of moving on because reconciling with you was a condition on “moving on”.
“It hurt to feel that she would prefer to have held on to them and lost me and my sons in the process.” Is this guy for real? Like, I genuinely can’t comprehend being *_that_* self absorbed. Edit: “I’m not a narcissist.” _[Press X to _*_SERIOUSLY_*_ doubt.]_
It’s funny that he mentions that his estranged brothers have more children than him. It really is all ME ME ME with this guy, to the point that he prefers his brothers’ kids not know their grandmother as long as his own do.
@@AraAra6367 yeah that part struck me as strange, I thought about it for a bit and I think perhaps the OP thinks the mother reconnected because his brother has more kids, and that if his brother didn't have kids she wouldn't have reconnected
I said it once, I'll say it again. You have to be a special kind of monster to have an affair with your family members partner, especially brothers/sisters.
@@saravananrs6563No, the mother's not good. She was crappy through the vast majority of the story and a decade later had a change of heart. She might not be as bad now, but she's not magically absolved of her sins either
story 1............... 1. OP this is all YOUR fault. stop blaming others and take responsibility for YOUR actions. 2. your mother is a failure as a parent. she chose you because of the grandkids and a decade later she now blames you because she has regrets. i see where you learned to dodge accountability for your actions. 3. you were his brother and he was supposed to be able to trust you. you betrayed him in the worst way possible and you are somehow stupid enough to believe you can fix this. you cant fix this. you lost 2 brothers because of your selfishness now move on and deal with the fall out of your actions
Mother only blames him cause there are more grandkids she doesn’t have access to VS what she does have. Yes she had guilt before but it wasn’t as serious and came way too late. If OP had more grandkids for her instead of his brother she wouldn’t have had the regrets she did when she found out. It’s all a numbers game to her 😡
@@Resonant-Wave she blames him because she found out aaron and ezra didnt need her. they were out of sight out of mind so she never once considered they could or would build lives and families without mommy dearest until she saw the pictures. once she realized they didnt need or want her in their lives is when the regrets came. she FAFO
2nd story: There is no excuse to cheat, but it is a reason to leave your married. But the father ended up cheating instead of leaving so yeah he still is the one that's at fault for this now of course the mother a drug addict that's hard, you don't want to deal with people like that but you leave you don't cheat.
With OPs Mom having that severe anxiety,why wasn't she seeing a doctor. Did Dad push for her to get treatment. His Mom obviously feels guilty about her condition and the way it was handled. Dad doesn't seem to feel guilty about anything. As for his skank, don't give me that crap that she cares about OP and his brother. It appears that the whole family is manipulating OP. As for OP's outburst. He has Nothing to apologize for. He doesn't owe understanding or kindness to his Dad or the skank. Those 2 would have new names from me. They would never be addressed as Lily and Dad, whether at home or in public. They would forever be called : Cheating Bastrd and Diseased Ho.
Yeah if you’re unhappy you leave but you don’t play these stupid games. Maybe moms drug use would have been a reason to divorce but it isn’t a reason to cheat
I swear I was going to comment the exact same thing but I wanted to read the comments first to see if someone mentioned it, he should have ended the marriage first and then went ahead with his life.
In fact it makes your value drop by 50% in any case. No matter how attractive that statement makes you unattractive to every self respecting women. Maybe there are decent guys who call themselves that but most men who say that are at the very bottom. There is a correlation between making that statement about yourself and being a entitled "nice" guy or entitled "alpha" or misogynistic sexist conservative man who expects being treated like a king even though he doesn't deserve it. Like men who think they deserve a "traditional" wife even though nothing about them is traditional. The wife has to cook,clean,make babies and care for them but on top of that she has to make her own money and can't be seen as a "gold digger". They often see a women as Gold digger even though the women makes more money and pays for more of their shared expenses. Like the women literally can't do anything to escape that fate of being seen as a gold digger. A women who just wants security in life is a gold digger because they care too much about money. These are all things you expect from a man who calls himself "high value male" or "high value guy". That's why you instantly get a ick hearing that and for some women (me included) it instantly kills all attraction.
Story 1 classic victim mentality, in what world does he think what he did was right, glad the brother went nc with everyone who supported him and the cheater ex gf.
the OP also continued to refer to what he did as a mistake, a mistake is accidental, the OP made decisions he has to live with, at no point in any of the replies is the OP taking ownership of his actions
Quite frankly, the dad, stepmom, OP, and Mel are all terrible. Dad and stepmom got together through infidelity, Mel and OP got together through infidelity. Of course they supported each other, scum sticks to scum, just like gum on the bottom of your shoes. OP is absolutely selfish and trying everything he can to deflect blame because over time, the family erodes more and more and it's all his and Mel's actions that set everything into motion. It sounds more and more likely that the marriage won't ultimately survive. He needs to cling onto his selfishness because admitting he is the one who ruined everything will destroy 11 years for them. 11 years down the drain. OP is effectively grasping onto delusions because (to quote Walter White) "it can't all be for nothing."
All terrible except the 2 brothers I don’t really see remorse here because of the word choice such as “mistake” and “Ezra rebelled and blew up the family” there’s no real empathy here reconciling is never to be an option for this family.
OP is a cheater who thinks betrayal is no biggie; it boggles the mind that he expects anyone to side with his entitled a$$. Almost certainly fake, or a narcissist bragging
also he has his wife and stepmother sitting there denying there was any wrong doing, and he continues to use language such as referring to his betrayal as a mistake, the reason he uses the term mistake is because in a mistake there are no villains he didn't make a mistake he made decisions and choices
i think its real as ive interacted with people just like this. plus if it was bait i feel like it would be more extreme in his denial he did anything wrong to get more karma. once knew a guy who i confided in about my CSA and he got all mopey and made the conversation about how he knowingly molested his sister when he was 13 and she was 8, though somehow HE was the victim in that situation because CPS took him away for awhile. he then started fishing for support and comfort whining about all the family members who acted differently around him. its sick shit but some people are like physically incapable of acknowledging the pain they create in others and can only see the pain they feel for themselves
I think it's real. He's not actively trying to piss people off, he talks like he doesn't know how emotions work. Bro's upset because he can't understand why his two brothers didn't just pat him on the back and continue on like nothing happened. And now he's on Reddit asking for advice because he thinks there's some magical quick fix that'll instantly remove all of the trouble caused by his past actions and get everything back to the way he wants. It's a level of detached selfishness and confusion that makes him look like a sociopath who genuinely can't empathize with other people and only seeks reconciliation when there are tangible consequences for his actions.
I think it’s real. Seen a very similar situation happen with other people. The habit of deflecting, twisting words, manipulative phrasing, playing (fake) victim, lack of empathy, etc. It’s all too consistent. There are also what I would call the right inconsistencies in reasoning and wording that suggests this is a true narcissist trying to smear others as narcissists. OP1 can go and get bent. Deserves a hard smack from life to force him to face reality.
Heard the first story before, but in that other version it sounds like the two managed to reconcile. I honestly prefer this version. You can't just do that to your brother and expect to be forgiven like that
They never reconciled. The next day OP put up another post under the depression forum and said he had self deletion thoughts over all of this and got further blasted by redditors.
There's been more than one story like this one, however I hadn't seen one where there was a younger brother involved who also cut off the family. There's been a crap load of stories where either a guy stole his brothers girlfriend or a woman stole her sisters boyfriend.
It's similar but different in that story. I think it was the younger brother in question. If I remember they didn't really reconcile but decided for a peaceful coexistence.
Story 1. You can fix it. He’s moved on without y’all. You were wrong and so were your parents. Just because you feel bad doesn’t mean you didn’t blow up his life! It’s all your fault 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️.
Yeah he doesn't feel bad the only part that seems to have affected him is the uncomfortability of his life because it keeps coming up the fact that he blew up everything because of his decision and he doesn't like that.
Story1: be happy you are still alive Story2: why should he apologise?! An affair is an affair. She and the father deserves NOTHING! I helped rehab people. If someone wants to come off, they can with help. If they dont, nothing can help them. Its not an excuse for the sprm donor to go fooling around, then they make demands. Also everyone trying to play happy fammily?! Disgusting.
S1: "Aaron has always had it out for me." maybe because your entire life, you were a piece of shit and you were sleeping with your brother's gf. I bet OP was a bully growing up and Aaron didn't take his crap and fought back and that's why he thinks he had it out for him. if there was any justice in this world, Ezra would have sent OP to the hospital for his crap
Of course dad's wife has no regrets about it. She had an affair with a married man that destroyed not only a relationship but family as well so no remorse or shame with passing the crown to other cheaters. 😂
Story #1: Once you do something like what OP did, it never goes away, no matter how much people try to sweep it under the rug and act like everyone has "moved on." People tend to think bringing new children into the family is such a happy miracle that the parents should be absolved of any and all deviant behavior, but the rose tinted glasses are coming off. OP doesn't deserve anything except to be treated with less attention and less respect because he behaves with less integrity.
lol ya he doesnt understand basic maths. two normal good kids and more grandkids or a pos and affair babies and a dil you dont talk to and hate which one is preferable
Op1 deflects and accepts no responsibility for breaking up his family. She could’ve broken up with his brother before y’all got together if you wanted to pursue a relationship and it wouldn’t have been as bad. You broke your brothers heart, destroyed their trust, betrayed your brother, and was selfish. Your kids have nothing to do with you and your wives terrible actions. Take accountability, accept the reality you created for yourself, leave those brothers alone who want nothing to do with you, enjoy your gross wife ,life, and hope the kids are cool👌🏾
story 1 is basically "wah wah wah i tore my family apart and don't regret it but they're making me feel bad about something bad i did and they won't forgive me"
Doing so for this is only trying to escape from guilt and criticism. Suicide is an escape from pain, but a bad one, because you end up destroying yourself in the process.
if you read all the replies that this OP made in the actual post it reads as him just straight up being pissed that people are blaming him and him saying he shouldnt be sorry for anything and he just wants people to let it all go and stop acknowledging that his family is to blame. like he legit knows he did terrible things but does not want to be blamed and to a greater extent not bother his happiness. "fixing things" is him just not wanting any more trouble.
This sound about right even without going to read the comment just from his post and the comments that’s were added he still didn’t want to “regret” what he did. Making excuses by bringing the kids in again. I bet he used those kids plenty against mom and dad to guilt them into things. Even though ultimately it was their fault for the nc the heavy regret they’re feeling is giving me emotional blackmail vibes.
Story 2.. "for better or worse, in sickness and in health" His wife had a sickness and was at her worst. Obviously, she was able to get clean for her kids... He used that as an excuse to cheat. If it was bad enough, he could have left and taken the kids. She wasn't a lost cause... but he chose to stay and have an affair... instead of really putting effort into saving her and his family. Dad and Lily are still scum 🤷♀️ There's no excuse for cheating
@nanadiaries9189 no 💩? But there are realities. Like... there's never an excuse to cheat. If it's bad enough to cheat... you leave first, because cheating hurts more than your partner.
lol it is not an excuse. nobody wants to be with a junkie and being an addict is way worse than being a cheater. infact i dont blame anyone cheating on a junkie. being an addict is a fking choice. refusing to get help is afking choice. getting a divorce is hard enough esp in a pandemic and you know junkies wont go easily in the night.
Story 1 zero accountability. Ezra set fire to the family, Ezra attacked her for cheating when he just old people what they did, she accidentally got pregnant when I continued the relationship.
There is a right way and a wrong way to exit a relationship. Cheating is never the answer if you want to leave without blame, disgrace, being considered morally bankrupt, a liar, etc etc. One way you leave with your head held high, blameless. The other you leave looking like the very very very bad guy that no one should ever trust again, because you’ve proven yourself to be untrustworthy to the core. And proven to be a liar. One does so much less damage than the other way. The other one devastates your loved ones. Choose wisely.
ya cheating is never right true. on the same token you cant really cheat lie on a junkie which is a far worse thing to be. its like if a guy beats his wife i wouldnt really blame the wife if she cheated. getting a divorce esp when kids are involved is easier said than done. i would think of the dad as he could have handled the situation better but i would not give a second thought to it
The second story makes me so fucking angry. His mother was struggling and instead of helping, his father fucking cheats on her and takes her kids away. And his side chick has the audacity to think she has any authority over the op and his siblings. The comment was out of line yes, but fuck her feelings. From what is described op mother could have ended up dead herself, so I have zero sympathy for the her. Also she must have known op father was married because who the fuck marries a cheater. I definitely do not agree with the op's decision to apologise let alone try to better their relationship. And before anyone trys to defend her with this, I wasn't far from death in the past myself but there is no excuse for cheating.
S1: Maybe unpopular but unless OP is working on his lack of empathy, he shouldn't be in therapy. OP's actions are getting blown up in his face and he just needs to deal with it and lie in the mess he caused. He can't fix anything at this point and him trying to will just make it worse. Anyway, I'm glad Aaron and Erza are living well 🙂
cant see why it would be unpopular, the OP has a complete lack of empathy, and continually used language that mitigated his culpability, there is also a little thing in the back of my head asking "why did he focus on his brother having more kids than him, that is just weird" like almost if the brother had no kids would the OP care to reconcile, or does he think the mother is only regretting her choices because the brother has more kids
@@vaseline69yeah it seems that like other commenters said using his children as an excuse for everything. His control of his family started with Mel having his child since most came around when the pregnancy was announced. However now that his brothers has kids and more than he does he probably think that’s the only reason mom and dad is regretting is for the kids. In his mind if his brothers didn’t have children even finding out they were married wouldn’t have matter since in his mind his parents would’ve still chose him since he has kids. His trump card was taken. That’s why he was soooo hurt the mom wanted to reconnect with her others sons and called it her picking them over him even though she did the exact opposite in real life. Definitely lacks empathy all the way around, he won’t even try to put himself in his brothers shoes.
therapy is fking overrated unless you have genuine issues. most problems in life is about not accepting failure and fault. for grief if you dont have friends or family talking a counselor can help.
Story 1: me,me,me.Wa Wa Wa actions have consequences. Boo Hoo bla bla bla. Both OP and their family are the same. OP should just focus on his family with his wife and kids.
Ridiculous. If you have feelings growing for someone else, especially a relative of your partner, you end your relationship FIRST, then WAIT a decent time. If they'd done that, it would not have ended up like this.
would have still ended badly, she wasn't a 2 week fling, she was a significant relationship, if it were a a 2 week fling I would agree with you but it is a pretty AH thing to date your siblings significant ex
just a good guy I think who sees OP for the trash he is, so I go with your latter conclusion, *edit* (after reading some replies on reddit it looks like the OP was the Golden child and reveled in it so I think that explains Aarons dislike)
This person doesn't care what he did. "She was abused by Ez for cheating." No, she was treated like a cheater who doesn't get to expect kindness from someone they betrayed. This kid sucks.
"Look at it from my point of view" Dude, that's the only thinking you're capable of. This guy literally said "How would it help looking at if from anyone else's POV?" I don't know SEEING HOW YOUR ACTIONS AFFECT OTHER PEOPLE, YOU ABSOLUTE KNOB!
What an evil brother. As a sane human being, i couldnt even imagine being close to my brothers gf without him there. Not that he has one but if he did.
Story 1. Op really just wants to keep rubbing it in his brothers face and can’t accept the fact that he has slzeri control over his brothers decisions. He only sees himself hurting and feels entitled to his brothers.
Story One: I guess this is the perspective of the Golden Child. How are you going to cheat, then be upset with your brothers because they want nothing to do with you? 🤷🏻♀️
Step 1 in even TRYING to repair what's broken is to be honest about who broke it. Ezra was fucking blameless, but OP still tries to frame the whole thing as Ezra's doing. Until the blame is flowing the proper direction, the necessary penance and apologies cannot begin, and until those happen forgiveness is not remotely possible.
This video was really compelling and I appreciate you sharing such a personal story. It’s tough to navigate family dynamics like this, but I can't help but think that cheating is a pretty unforgivable act. I mean, even with all the drama, isn't loyalty something that should come first?
Story 1 OP is beyond pathetic. He didn't just make mistakes, he's a genuinely bad person at his core. Mel too. And they do not have a loving relationship, they're both narcissistic and incapable of such. OP wanted Mel because his brother had her, and Mel is probably just loose, and she only went to OP when everyone else rejected her. OP only seems upset when he found out Ezra has a wife, because now he can't look at Mel as the happiness he deprived his brother of, and has become unhappy himself. He would probably try to cheat with the new wife if he had the chance. Mel feeling no remorse shows exactly how lacking in morals she is.
S1: Well you are a terrible brother so I’m not surprised about anything that happened after🤷🏾 S2: if anything there should have Ben a divorce cheating isn’t acceptable just leave damn but u also gotta tell ya kids important things man. S3: I sense a very big lack of masculinity here.
Lmao the first OP is so insufferable. I checked his original post and he responded to a comment that said he is a narcissist: "A psychologist you are not. A psychiatrist you are not. A doctor you are not." Being called a narcissist def struck his nerve. 😂😂😂
ST1 Womp womp op, you did destroy your family. I wish OP’s bro all the best in life, he’s better off without the betrayers. Oh jeez I wonder why Aaron has always had it out for OP, I’d love to hear how that started and want to hear Aaron’s side of things.
Aaron had issues with my parents prior to my screw up. My parents went through a nasty divorce where my dad was unfaithful a few years prior. Aaron also went into debt putting himself through school while I went to school when my parents were still together. My dad originally put Ez through school until this all happened and her rejected the money. I think Aaron also believed that I was coddled a lot (even I agree here). This situation pushed him overboard. He was already disappointed in our dad (we all were) but this made him disappointed in our mom too. According to my mom he has moved on and has no desire to reconcile with her or dad. He encouraged his wife and kids to try but he said he is disinterested and busy. edit: Aaron and Ezra are also owners of a very successful business. I think Aaron is suspicious of my mom trying to reconnect during this time. She had no idea that they had a lucrative business as they have no idea that we are doing well (not nearly as well off as they are). But he is suspicious as he should be.
#1: *LEAVE YOUR BROTHER ALONE.* _"Do you feel sorry for the pain you caused your brother?"_ "Well, I mean, you know ... I have my kids because of it." _"Not what was asked. Do you feel sorry for hurting your brother?"_ "Why are you holding me accountable? It's been 10 years already. I've made zero effort to reach out. Can't we go back to the way it was? Quit rebelling."
Story 1 : OP is full of sht.......and the people who are telling him "you don't have to forever get defined by your past behavior...are also full of BS....Cheating is a choice he made - Once a cheater always a cheater" although i give props for OP and his wife to stick together all this time (BUT The statement will always be TRUE for the one who got cheated on in a relationship ) and OP STILL keeps whining when the mother regrest her role in siding and tries to mends with her other son YEARS later. I hope he have nightmares and regrets cheating for the rest of his seems like going on a path to be miserable life.
First stop calling me is a mistake. You knew what you were doing. You knew that that was your brother’s girlfriend, but you still slept with her got her pregnant and had nerve to get married to her. Your parents were dead ass wrong. They should’ve never supported you.
- I think OP should get a DNA test on his kids. A girl who would cheat with her mans brother is unlikely to be faithful for nearly ten years. Honestly I hope it shows they are not his since he's such a tool.
Funny how mom put it all on OP like she, TOO, didn't ad fuel to the fire of disbanding their "family" by actively choosing the sibling who did wrong and made leaps to ENABLE not PUNISH for what they did to their other son and only mad cuz she only has access to one grandchild to brag about and not all of them🙄 OP still proved to be more selfish since he at NO POINT admitted to being apologetic, just eluded to him being guilty, but regrets nothing. Least mom later tried to fix what she did and didn't force meeting her estranged sons, just the wives that allowed her visits. OP isn't even trying, just whining for sympathy he has NO entitlement to. Story 2: So the dad could pay for her therapy post divorce, but not have put her in rehab, and maybe divorced her THEN instead of cheating? On top of trying to force a "happy family" with the AP with one of the kids who outed his affair to begin with and surprised it inevitably blew up in his face, especially since neither parent told them what was going on behind the scenes (besides the affair) that the kids didnt know was causing a strain??
S1 - Two back stabbing cheaters, are surprised their family betrayal has long term consequences for both them and their children. At this point, I doubt there is anything they can do, to repair the damage done.
Bottom Line: op is not sorry. He doesn’t give a shit about what he did but can’t live with the guilt. He feels entitled to forgiveness.
OP, leave your fucking brother alone.
Preach!
OP's stupid actions forced the situation on his brothers and family. Now he wants to force something on them again.

@@Resonant-Wave she blames him because she found out aaron and ezra didnt need her. they were out of sight out of mind so she never once considered they could or would build lives and families without mommy dearest until she saw the pictures. once she realized they didnt need or want her in their lives is when the regrets came. she FAFO
@@Resonant-WaveI believe this is true.
2nd story: There is no excuse to cheat, but it is a reason to leave your married.
But the father ended up cheating instead of leaving so yeah he still is the one that's at fault for this now of course the mother a drug addict that's hard, you don't want to deal with people like that but you leave you don't cheat.
exactly, the drug use is a reason why the relationship may end, not a free pass to cheat
With OPs Mom having that severe anxiety,why wasn't she seeing a doctor. Did Dad push for her to get treatment. His Mom obviously feels guilty about her condition and the way it was handled. Dad doesn't seem to feel guilty about anything. As for his skank, don't give me that crap that she cares about OP and his brother. It appears that the whole family is manipulating OP. As for OP's outburst. He has Nothing to apologize for. He doesn't owe understanding or kindness to his Dad or the skank.
Those 2 would have new names from me. They would never be addressed as Lily and Dad, whether at home or in public. They would forever be called : Cheating Bastrd and Diseased Ho.
Yeah if you’re unhappy you leave but you don’t play these stupid games. Maybe moms drug use would have been a reason to divorce but it isn’t a reason to cheat
Exactly
I swear I was going to comment the exact same thing but I wanted to read the comments first to see if someone mentioned it, he should have ended the marriage first and then went ahead with his life.
S3: Calling yourself a "high-value man" does not make you one.
"Yeah, I'm a high value man"
*is a giant simp and a loser*
In fact it makes your value drop by 50% in any case. No matter how attractive that statement makes you unattractive to every self respecting women. Maybe there are decent guys who call themselves that but most men who say that are at the very bottom. There is a correlation between making that statement about yourself and being a entitled "nice" guy or entitled "alpha" or misogynistic sexist conservative man who expects being treated like a king even though he doesn't deserve it. Like men who think they deserve a "traditional" wife even though nothing about them is traditional. The wife has to cook,clean,make babies and care for them but on top of that she has to make her own money and can't be seen as a "gold digger". They often see a women as Gold digger even though the women makes more money and pays for more of their shared expenses. Like the women literally can't do anything to escape that fate of being seen as a gold digger. A women who just wants security in life is a gold digger because they care too much about money. These are all things you expect from a man who calls himself "high value male" or "high value guy". That's why you instantly get a ick hearing that and for some women (me included) it instantly kills all attraction.
Reminds me of a game of thrones quote “a man who calls himself a king isn’t a king”
@@anymous8407 Any man who must say, "I am the King", is no true king
Categorizing your fellow human beings as “high value” or “low value” is a very low value move.
Story 1 classic victim mentality, in what world does he think what he did was right, glad the brother went nc with everyone who supported him and the cheater ex gf.
the OP also continued to refer to what he did as a mistake, a mistake is accidental, the OP made decisions he has to live with, at no point in any of the replies is the OP taking ownership of his actions
Quite frankly, the dad, stepmom, OP, and Mel are all terrible. Dad and stepmom got together through infidelity, Mel and OP got together through infidelity. Of course they supported each other, scum sticks to scum, just like gum on the bottom of your shoes. OP is absolutely selfish and trying everything he can to deflect blame because over time, the family erodes more and more and it's all his and Mel's actions that set everything into motion. It sounds more and more likely that the marriage won't ultimately survive. He needs to cling onto his selfishness because admitting he is the one who ruined everything will destroy 11 years for them. 11 years down the drain. OP is effectively grasping onto delusions because (to quote Walter White) "it can't all be for nothing."
fr. his dad and grandparents are cheaters but no, he just made a mistake that resulted in him having a baby and getting married with his brothers ex
All terrible except the 2 brothers I don’t really see remorse here because of the word choice such as “mistake” and “Ezra rebelled and blew up the family” there’s no real empathy here reconciling is never to be an option for this family.
Yep, he blames his brother for destroying thr family. Op did that all by himself.
story 1 wow just wow, "after Melanie was mistreated by Ez for cheating" really trying hard there to white Knight yourself bro
Really capture the mind of a redditor
Simp woke redditors
"My grandpa cheated... My dad cheated.... I did something similar..."
Bruh, you put the cherry on top of the sundae.
For real. That's where all the bad genes went. Not that it wasn't his choice
He said "I did something similar" rather than "I did the same thing". The nerve 😂
Family of cheating scumbags as for the dad's affair wife not surprising she sided with the cheaters birds of a feather.
@@NessieNicewell, technically, the gf is the one who cheated. He's just a POS that screwed his brother's woman
OP is a cheater who thinks betrayal is no biggie; it boggles the mind that he expects anyone to side with his entitled a$$.
Almost certainly fake, or a narcissist bragging
also he has his wife and stepmother sitting there denying there was any wrong doing, and he continues to use language such as referring to his betrayal as a mistake, the reason he uses the term mistake is because in a mistake there are no villains he didn't make a mistake he made decisions and choices
Hope it's fake. It's sad
i think its real as ive interacted with people just like this. plus if it was bait i feel like it would be more extreme in his denial he did anything wrong to get more karma. once knew a guy who i confided in about my CSA and he got all mopey and made the conversation about how he knowingly molested his sister when he was 13 and she was 8, though somehow HE was the victim in that situation because CPS took him away for awhile. he then started fishing for support and comfort whining about all the family members who acted differently around him. its sick shit but some people are like physically incapable of acknowledging the pain they create in others and can only see the pain they feel for themselves
I think it's real. He's not actively trying to piss people off, he talks like he doesn't know how emotions work.
Bro's upset because he can't understand why his two brothers didn't just pat him on the back and continue on like nothing happened. And now he's on Reddit asking for advice because he thinks there's some magical quick fix that'll instantly remove all of the trouble caused by his past actions and get everything back to the way he wants.
It's a level of detached selfishness and confusion that makes him look like a sociopath who genuinely can't empathize with other people and only seeks reconciliation when there are tangible consequences for his actions.
I think it’s real.
Seen a very similar situation happen with other people.
The habit of deflecting, twisting words, manipulative phrasing, playing (fake) victim, lack of empathy, etc. It’s all too consistent.
There are also what I would call the right inconsistencies in reasoning and wording that suggests this is a true narcissist trying to smear others as narcissists.
OP1 can go and get bent. Deserves a hard smack from life to force him to face reality.
Story 1: the mental gymnastics he's trying to pull is out of this world.
Heard the first story before, but in that other version it sounds like the two managed to reconcile. I honestly prefer this version. You can't just do that to your brother and expect to be forgiven like that
They never reconciled. The next day OP put up another post under the depression forum and said he had self deletion thoughts over all of this and got further blasted by redditors.
Good. OP and his wife are walking turds
There's been more than one story like this one, however I hadn't seen one where there was a younger brother involved who also cut off the family. There's been a crap load of stories where either a guy stole his brothers girlfriend or a woman stole her sisters boyfriend.
It's similar but different in that story. I think it was the younger brother in question. If I remember they didn't really reconcile but decided for a peaceful coexistence.
Story 1. You can fix it. He’s moved on without y’all. You were wrong and so were your parents. Just because you feel bad doesn’t mean you didn’t blow up his life! It’s all your fault 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️.
look at his language, he doesn't feel bad,
He doesn’t actually feel bad though🤷♂️🤷♂️
Yeah he doesn't feel bad the only part that seems to have affected him is the uncomfortability of his life because it keeps coming up the fact that he blew up everything because of his decision and he doesn't like that.
He CAN'T actually fix crap.
I ask these kinds of people the same question every time.
"What the hell did you THINK was gonna happen?"
Really????
Ezra set the family on fire.
Aaron has always had it out for me.
Ezra mistreated Melanie for cheating.
Your brothers rebelled.
Really?!!!
A monster and a harlot got together, what a match couple made in the depths of hell.
Story1: be happy you are still alive
Story2: why should he apologise?! An affair is an affair. She and the father deserves NOTHING! I helped rehab people. If someone wants to come off, they can with help. If they dont, nothing can help them. Its not an excuse for the sprm donor to go fooling around, then they make demands. Also everyone trying to play happy fammily?! Disgusting.
Story 2: exactly
Eugene, play the world smallest violin for OP1, he needs it... A LOT
But you don't understand his brother rebelled and broke up the family *sarcasm*
S1: "Aaron has always had it out for me." maybe because your entire life, you were a piece of shit and you were sleeping with your brother's gf. I bet OP was a bully growing up and Aaron didn't take his crap and fought back and that's why he thinks he had it out for him. if there was any justice in this world, Ezra would have sent OP to the hospital for his crap
some of the replies on reddit gave me OP was the golden child vibe
3rd story: calling yourself "high value guy" already drops your value down into the abyss
Of course dad's wife has no regrets about it. She had an affair with a married man that destroyed not only a relationship but family as well so no remorse or shame with passing the crown to other cheaters. 😂
Story #1: Once you do something like what OP did, it never goes away, no matter how much people try to sweep it under the rug and act like everyone has "moved on."
People tend to think bringing new children into the family is such a happy miracle that the parents should be absolved of any and all deviant behavior, but the rose tinted glasses are coming off. OP doesn't deserve anything except to be treated with less attention and less respect because he behaves with less integrity.
I'm not giving up two sons for this screw up.
I wouldnt give up a half eaten stale bagel for him
lol ya he doesnt understand basic maths. two normal good kids and more grandkids or a pos and affair babies and a dil you dont talk to and hate which one is preferable
Op1 deflects and accepts no responsibility for breaking up his family. She could’ve broken up with his brother before y’all got together if you wanted to pursue a relationship and it wouldn’t have been as bad. You broke your brothers heart, destroyed their trust, betrayed your brother, and was selfish. Your kids have nothing to do with you and your wives terrible actions. Take accountability, accept the reality you created for yourself, leave those brothers alone who want nothing to do with you, enjoy your gross wife ,life, and hope the kids are cool👌🏾
story 1 is basically "wah wah wah i tore my family apart and don't regret it but they're making me feel bad about something bad i did and they won't forgive me"
First story OP is so delusional, get a time machine if you want to fix things, if you can't then stop
Can’t stand cheaters, and it is especially horrible when it happens within the family. I hope the brothers stay away.
Story 1: self deleting his own life is the only way to mend things
Doing so for this is only trying to escape from guilt and criticism. Suicide is an escape from pain, but a bad one, because you end up destroying yourself in the process.
@@lmv1234no shit Sherlock that's the point
if you read all the replies that this OP made in the actual post it reads as him just straight up being pissed that people are blaming him and him saying he shouldnt be sorry for anything and he just wants people to let it all go and stop acknowledging that his family is to blame. like he legit knows he did terrible things but does not want to be blamed and to a greater extent not bother his happiness. "fixing things" is him just not wanting any more trouble.
yeah i just read his replies, I actually now have less respect for him and I was in negative numbers to start
This sound about right even without going to read the comment just from his post and the comments that’s were added he still didn’t want to “regret” what he did. Making excuses by bringing the kids in again. I bet he used those kids plenty against mom and dad to guilt them into things. Even though ultimately it was their fault for the nc the heavy regret they’re feeling is giving me emotional blackmail vibes.
@@chinaking918 I think the only thing he regrets is that he is no longer the golden child
Imagine being cursed with a brother like this.
Story 2.. "for better or worse, in sickness and in health"
His wife had a sickness and was at her worst. Obviously, she was able to get clean for her kids... He used that as an excuse to cheat.
If it was bad enough, he could have left and taken the kids. She wasn't a lost cause... but he chose to stay and have an affair... instead of really putting effort into saving her and his family.
Dad and Lily are still scum 🤷♀️
There's no excuse for cheating
He did try and help her though. He did. He should have left. However, him cheating is inexcusable
Yep. He should have left instead of deciding to cheat
Life isn’t that black or white
@nanadiaries9189 no 💩? But there are realities. Like... there's never an excuse to cheat. If it's bad enough to cheat... you leave first, because cheating hurts more than your partner.
lol it is not an excuse. nobody wants to be with a junkie and being an addict is way worse than being a cheater. infact i dont blame anyone cheating on a junkie. being an addict is a fking choice. refusing to get help is afking choice. getting a divorce is hard enough esp in a pandemic and you know junkies wont go easily in the night.
Story 1 zero accountability. Ezra set fire to the family, Ezra attacked her for cheating when he just old people what they did, she accidentally got pregnant when I continued the relationship.
There is a right way and a wrong way to exit a relationship. Cheating is never the answer if you want to leave without blame, disgrace, being considered morally bankrupt, a liar, etc etc. One way you leave with your head held high, blameless. The other you leave looking like the very very very bad guy that no one should ever trust again, because you’ve proven yourself to be untrustworthy to the core. And proven to be a liar. One does so much less damage than the other way. The other one devastates your loved ones. Choose wisely.
ya cheating is never right true. on the same token you cant really cheat lie on a junkie which is a far worse thing to be. its like if a guy beats his wife i wouldnt really blame the wife if she cheated. getting a divorce esp when kids are involved is easier said than done. i would think of the dad as he could have handled the situation better but i would not give a second thought to it
Story 1 OP has zero self awareness of what a jerk he is
Ezra stood on business, loyal, strong ethics, and the story's MVP.
The second story makes me so fucking angry. His mother was struggling and instead of helping, his father fucking cheats on her and takes her kids away. And his side chick has the audacity to think she has any authority over the op and his siblings. The comment was out of line yes, but fuck her feelings. From what is described op mother could have ended up dead herself, so I have zero sympathy for the her. Also she must have known op father was married because who the fuck marries a cheater. I definitely do not agree with the op's decision to apologise let alone try to better their relationship. And before anyone trys to defend her with this, I wasn't far from death in the past myself but there is no excuse for cheating.
The dad did try to help but yeah he cheated. Horrible guy and AP. The comment wasn't out of line, she pushed OP. I've been angry before.
It's OP's decision to apologize. OP can leave when they become self sufficient
OP: I’m not a narcissist.
Yeah. You are.
S1: Maybe unpopular but unless OP is working on his lack of empathy, he shouldn't be in therapy. OP's actions are getting blown up in his face and he just needs to deal with it and lie in the mess he caused. He can't fix anything at this point and him trying to will just make it worse.
Anyway, I'm glad Aaron and Erza are living well 🙂
cant see why it would be unpopular, the OP has a complete lack of empathy, and continually used language that mitigated his culpability, there is also a little thing in the back of my head asking "why did he focus on his brother having more kids than him, that is just weird" like almost if the brother had no kids would the OP care to reconcile, or does he think the mother is only regretting her choices because the brother has more kids
@@vaseline69yeah it seems that like other commenters said using his children as an excuse for everything. His control of his family started with Mel having his child since most came around when the pregnancy was announced. However now that his brothers has kids and more than he does he probably think that’s the only reason mom and dad is regretting is for the kids. In his mind if his brothers didn’t have children even finding out they were married wouldn’t have matter since in his mind his parents would’ve still chose him since he has kids. His trump card was taken. That’s why he was soooo hurt the mom wanted to reconnect with her others sons and called it her picking them over him even though she did the exact opposite in real life. Definitely lacks empathy all the way around, he won’t even try to put himself in his brothers shoes.
therapy is fking overrated unless you have genuine issues. most problems in life is about not accepting failure and fault. for grief if you dont have friends or family talking a counselor can help.
He needs a damn psychiatrist
Story 1:TLDR: instant family! Just steal my brother's gf! op is an entitled man child that expects forgiveness! Wow. Do better.
Story 1: me,me,me.Wa Wa Wa actions have consequences. Boo Hoo bla bla bla. Both OP and their family are the same. OP should just focus on his family with his wife and kids.
s1- A lot of this could have been avoided if Mel broke up with Ezra when she decided she wanted to be with OP BEFORE the cheating
I would say some, still a pretty AH move to get with your siblings significant ex
@@vaseline69 Yeah, I agree. But it's better to break up, wait a couple months and then start dating. It's still an AH move, but less than cheating
@@jorijoestar4998does it even matter. It's still messed up, they planned this
Story 1- Op needs to just cut the word "mistake" out of his vocabulary. He made no mistakes. He made CHOICES every time along the way.
Ridiculous. If you have feelings growing for someone else, especially a relative of your partner, you end your relationship FIRST, then WAIT a decent time. If they'd done that, it would not have ended up like this.
would have still ended badly, she wasn't a 2 week fling, she was a significant relationship, if it were a a 2 week fling I would agree with you but it is a pretty AH thing to date your siblings significant ex
I wonder why Aaron has a "thing" for OP. Maybe he made a move on his gf too? Or he has always been an insufferable AH.
just a good guy I think who sees OP for the trash he is, so I go with your latter conclusion,
*edit* (after reading some replies on reddit it looks like the OP was the Golden child and reveled in it so I think that explains Aarons dislike)
First step: Stop saying you “made a mistake.” You and Mel made a Choice to Cheat. It’s always a CHOICE! Own it.
This person doesn't care what he did. "She was abused by Ez for cheating." No, she was treated like a cheater who doesn't get to expect kindness from someone they betrayed. This kid sucks.
"Look at it from my point of view" Dude, that's the only thinking you're capable of.
This guy literally said "How would it help looking at if from anyone else's POV?" I don't know SEEING HOW YOUR ACTIONS AFFECT OTHER PEOPLE, YOU ABSOLUTE KNOB!
Story 1:Why would he invite you? Reconcile? Wtf. This action is unforgivable to many, its betrayal of the highest level.
What an evil brother. As a sane human being, i couldnt even imagine being close to my brothers gf without him there. Not that he has one but if he did.
Why no body comment in his reddit "You know it's wrong, but it doesn't stop you to took her in, have relationship, and got her pregnant afterward"
Story 3: JESUS, OP is SO pathetic it's comical...
OP is completely delusional. He betrayed his own brother and is shocked there were consequences.
Story 1. Op really just wants to keep rubbing it in his brothers face and can’t accept the fact that he has slzeri control over his brothers decisions. He only sees himself hurting and feels entitled to his brothers.
Story 2 op isn't the AH the affair partner is! And op's dad is a massive AH!
3rd story: One of the biggest simps in reddit history😂
I’m sure she did a voodoo on him😂😂😂😂
Story One: I guess this is the perspective of the Golden Child. How are you going to cheat, then be upset with your brothers because they want nothing to do with you? 🤷🏻♀️
First story. The dudes a narcissist.
S1 - You can't just repair that something broke. Sometimes you have to buy a new one. And seems like your brothers already did that.
yup this is Humpty Dumpty levels of broken
Step 1 in even TRYING to repair what's broken is to be honest about who broke it. Ezra was fucking blameless, but OP still tries to frame the whole thing as Ezra's doing. Until the blame is flowing the proper direction, the necessary penance and apologies cannot begin, and until those happen forgiveness is not remotely possible.
Story 1: "me me me me me, but me, my parents, my kids, my wife, meeeee."
This video was really compelling and I appreciate you sharing such a personal story. It’s tough to navigate family dynamics like this, but I can't help but think that cheating is a pretty unforgivable act. I mean, even with all the drama, isn't loyalty something that should come first?
Everyone deserves a brother like Aaron and not op..
Story 1 OP is beyond pathetic. He didn't just make mistakes, he's a genuinely bad person at his core. Mel too. And they do not have a loving relationship, they're both narcissistic and incapable of such. OP wanted Mel because his brother had her, and Mel is probably just loose, and she only went to OP when everyone else rejected her. OP only seems upset when he found out Ezra has a wife, because now he can't look at Mel as the happiness he deprived his brother of, and has become unhappy himself. He would probably try to cheat with the new wife if he had the chance. Mel feeling no remorse shows exactly how lacking in morals she is.
Even 10 years-old knows what cheating means...
Aaron and Ezra are real as fuck. Good for them. Hope they have nothing but joy in their lives.
S1: Well you are a terrible brother so I’m not surprised about anything that happened after🤷🏾
S2: if anything there should have Ben a divorce cheating isn’t acceptable just leave damn but u also gotta tell ya kids important things man.
S3: I sense a very big lack of masculinity here.
Story 1, OP really put his head down on the chopping block for reddit😂
Cheating is not a mistake its a choice
Lmao the first OP is so insufferable. I checked his original post and he responded to a comment that said he is a narcissist:
"A psychologist you are not. A psychiatrist you are not. A doctor you are not." Being called a narcissist def struck his nerve. 😂😂😂
Good for the brother for leaving the trash behind..❤❤❤
ST1
Womp womp op, you did destroy your family.
I wish OP’s bro all the best in life, he’s better off without the betrayers.
Oh jeez I wonder why Aaron has always had it out for OP, I’d love to hear how that started and want to hear Aaron’s side of things.
Here's the reason why Aaron always had it out for op
Aaron had issues with my parents prior to my screw up. My parents went through a nasty divorce where my dad was unfaithful a few years prior. Aaron also went into debt putting himself through school while I went to school when my parents were still together. My dad originally put Ez through school until this all happened and her rejected the money.
I think Aaron also believed that I was coddled a lot (even I agree here). This situation pushed him overboard. He was already disappointed in our dad (we all were) but this made him disappointed in our mom too. According to my mom he has moved on and has no desire to reconcile with her or dad. He encouraged his wife and kids to try but he said he is disinterested and busy.
edit: Aaron and Ezra are also owners of a very successful business. I think Aaron is suspicious of my mom trying to reconnect during this time. She had no idea that they had a lucrative business as they have no idea that we are doing well (not nearly as well off as they are). But he is suspicious as he should be.

Story 1: you all made your bed now you have to lay in it😂😂.. what about consequences of actions😮😂
1 story If I was Ezra I would have disowned the family and never speak to them again
#1: *LEAVE YOUR BROTHER ALONE.*
_"Do you feel sorry for the pain you caused your brother?"_
"Well, I mean, you know ... I have my kids because of it."
_"Not what was asked. Do you feel sorry for hurting your brother?"_
"Why are you holding me accountable? It's been 10 years already. I've made zero effort to reach out. Can't we go back to the way it was? Quit rebelling."
Story 1: You had no right to be jealous because you knew that she was Ezras girlfriend at the time. Ezra was right in going no contact with everyone!
Dad needs to keep a close eye on his new wife that thinks cheating is great.
Story 1: Ezra had a right to be angry for being betrayed!
Story 1: You played a stupid game and won a very stupid prize!
Story 1 : OP is full of sht.......and the people who are telling him "you don't have to forever get defined by your past behavior...are also full of BS....Cheating is a choice he made - Once a cheater always a cheater" although i give props for OP and his wife to stick together all this time (BUT The statement will always be TRUE for the one who got cheated on in a relationship ) and OP STILL keeps whining when the mother regrest her role in siding and tries to mends with her other son YEARS later. I hope he have nightmares and regrets cheating for the rest of his seems like going on a path to be miserable life.
Once a cheater always a cheater. OP will find this out soon.
Story 3 OP, i just can’t
First stop calling me is a mistake. You knew what you were doing. You knew that that was your brother’s girlfriend, but you still slept with her got her pregnant and had nerve to get married to her. Your parents were dead ass wrong. They should’ve never supported you.
Your posts are like a breath of fresh air, I always look forward to them! 🌬
- I think OP should get a DNA test on his kids. A girl who would cheat with her mans brother is unlikely to be faithful for nearly ten years. Honestly I hope it shows they are not his since he's such a tool.
First story …you never choose a woman over your brothers
Funny how mom put it all on OP like she, TOO, didn't ad fuel to the fire of disbanding their "family" by actively choosing the sibling who did wrong and made leaps to ENABLE not PUNISH for what they did to their other son and only mad cuz she only has access to one grandchild to brag about and not all of them🙄
OP still proved to be more selfish since he at NO POINT admitted to being apologetic, just eluded to him being guilty, but regrets nothing. Least mom later tried to fix what she did and didn't force meeting her estranged sons, just the wives that allowed her visits. OP isn't even trying, just whining for sympathy he has NO entitlement to.
Story 2: So the dad could pay for her therapy post divorce, but not have put her in rehab, and maybe divorced her THEN instead of cheating? On top of trying to force a "happy family" with the AP with one of the kids who outed his affair to begin with and surprised it inevitably blew up in his face, especially since neither parent told them what was going on behind the scenes (besides the affair) that the kids didnt know was causing a strain??
If you don't regret it, then it's nothing to do but leave your brothers alone
When he said the 6 year old had it out for him 😂 what a victim
Of course the mistress is a fan of another mistress 😑
S1 - Two back stabbing cheaters, are surprised their family betrayal has long term consequences for both them and their children. At this point, I doubt there is anything they can do, to repair the damage done.
Bro said his greatest achievement was cheating woooow
Op is just selfish... he doesn't want to accept his mistakes...
OP if I was your brother, I wouldn’t forgive you.
i hoope you stay like this for ver and never geta good life
