At 16 he could have gone to the police and tell them that he is 16 and that his mother kicked him out of the house because he refused to marry someone whom his mother had just met!;!; The mother would be arrested and charged with child endangerment! Besides contacting your relatives they would get you into many programs that are available for you!!!

Thanks to Tangled, I cannot hear the words "Mother Knows Best" without my brain starting to sing Gothals song, "Mother knows best, listen to your mumsy, on your own you won't survive" and I shake my head to myself. Is there no cure?!

I am so happy that guys escape his crazy mother.

The boyfriend in the second story isn’t the jerk . It his money and he should do whatever he wants to do.

Ok the mom in the first story is absolutely insane, the fact that she tried forcing her child to marry a girl the OP didn’t know, all because she thought was best (and I’m pretty sure it’s against the Bible to force your beliefs on others). I definitely feel this op for not being into religion because I’m not into it either

If the dudes mom from the first story truly held these ridiculous outdated beliefs as close to her heart as she claims, then she'd realize that her son is the man of the house and she has to listen to him. Plus doesn't the bible preach not forcing it's values on others, and that people need to find god in their own time and on their own paths?

Leave you mother. Go out on your own. Live your life for you not her.

At this point I don't think you'll ever get that money back, because if he was really going to pay you back he would have done it already, get away from him now and write it off as a lesson learned

She can't just make the son sacrifice his future for some random woman. She should be ashamed of herself for threatening to kick him when he's not an adult and arrested. I hate those kind of people who think they got absolute control of anyone, including their own kids.

my aunt is crazy religious, it got so bad she'd burst into my room at 3 in the morning to scream about the rapture coming and to give our souls to Jesus before it was too late, reason why that stopped was because i was about to finally fall asleep due to a fever and when she busted my door open i swung a E-tool and whacked her right in the face, cops had a good laugh at that one and refused to arrest me since i was defending myself from an intruder, the trying to push religion on me and my sister in general stopped because everytime she tried we'd both scream "HAIL SATAN! LUCIFER OUR TRUE LORD!" she knew she couldn't win that fight especially when our just as religious grandmother joined in taking our side XD

The girlfriend has to realized that she isn't married to him so she really doesn't have any say. I think you should separate. How long will you grieve and use that as an excuse? Sounds like you need therapy.

*Story 1:* I've never understood why any parent would *force* their children to marry who *they* want them to marry, rather than *allowing* them to marry who they love. I've heard of people like that. So the parent happens to be *"religious",* so what? How does that justify this hideous behaviour towards their children?

First story ... my guy theres literally a bible verse that says parents arent supoose to provoke their kids lol couldve used that against her lol

I actually understand the 1st story very well because I had this very bad controlling relation ship with an old friend and when he said that he didn’t realize he also had his family to support him and everything and didn’t notice. I actually relate to that because I used to have an old friend that would use to make me do what ever she wanted me to do and if I didn’t want to she would tell me that if u don’t this then we can’t be friends anymore and would start to be very toxic and that would make me get very very stressed out and it started to make feel scared of being alone with no friends, family nothing so I would forget about the the classmates that actually tried to support me be my friend and even comfort me when I was sad and she also never let me talk to anyone at all

R.I.P to the first stories OPs father he was a smart man believing that all are entitled to their own belief

Story 1: Lots of frustrated people take hold of anything that gives them peace, be it political, religious, science obsession, gender confusion, etc. I do hope that the man realizes that those who mishandle the truth terribly does not neglect what it true. That mother needs to stop looking outward and realize how much of a wretched sinner she is (as we all are), focus on getting rid of that huge pride issues, and beg her son for forgiveness (without expecting anything from him). Story 2: Unless you have a ring on your finger, you don't get a say what he does with his money. It sucks what happened to your family but if ya not married to him, then don't complain about what he buys with his own money. Same towards the narrator. They ain't married so there is no "we" or "significant other". No matter what they talked about, unless he did it out of spite, there is no commitment to anything being "them". Story 3: Sounds like he was using your innocence to get what he wanted and then left. Story 4: That's hilarious!

Srsly, the dad with the dog in the last story makes my heart boil. Kids believe all sorts of stuff, the dad basically ruined the kid's relationship with his dog that he'll never get back. The OP will never forget how he turned his back on the dog by believing the stupid joke. And then he also gets laughed at by his family for it now. Ok, the dad probably didn't think his joke had so much impact on the boy, but with kids and relationships to their loved ones you can - in my opinion - not be careful enough, or at least mention after that it was a joke. I mean, my kids even believe me when I say there's unicorns flying in the sky making rainbows. Might be different from the OP since they have autism and generally believe everything I say, but even kids without autism believe the stuff their trusted parents say to them. (Immortal santa clause with tons of Elves bringing Xmas presents in a flying reindeer carriage through chimneys every year being one example)

For OP 2, I can see his actions being justified. Example: He understands his girlfriend is in a bad spot, and they've been already planning on living together. He buys a house nearby, thinking she'd want to be closer to family. He brings home a dog, so that she has something to do while he's unable to be with her the entire time, since it sounds like he works so much and is rarely home. But his bad habits of being messy, not properly listening, disregarded his girlfriends feelings completely and gaslighting her when she has something top say does not help at all. But at the same time, he can be stressed out that all of his extra effort to make his girlfriend happy and keep her busy is not being appreciated, so when it comes to him feeling cornered by her, he speaks too bluntly. You cannot forget, most men have problems with properly opening up to another person and they'll do thing impulsively based on what they feel is right or wrong.

Devil's advocate here, his money his choice. Also, what's going on in his life that pushed him to buy that house when he bought that house.

The first story is just crazy 🤪 she is now gonna have to live with her consequences

I was able to get out of my toxic mom's house and I live with her mom now and it's like heaven here

I can't live without these videos...

In a number of countries a mum who tries to kick out a 16 year old can be charged with abandoning a child. Such a abusive mother trying to claim religion.

Story 2 - why? Just why? DON'T MOVE IN should be simple and obvious to figure out yourself.

The first story ,, the way the mother was treated when all the maternal family knew about it 😂😂 it gave me chills 🔥🔥

Story 3: OP got scammed. She better take him to small claims court to get her money and dump him. She needs to work on her self-love and to keep busy, she should consider getting hobbies because she can make friends and feel less lonely. I think that being 19 is a great time to have fun and not tie yourself up to a relationship.

Story 1 Call the police immediately this is actual abuse this mother of yours should not be in society she should be behind bars he’s abuses children.

Just gonna say, my favorite part is always the voices he uses for other people who aren't the op. It always makes listening a little more fun

And that my dear parents, is the reason why you shouldn't prank young kids whithout explaining soon after. Poor dog and poor kid, that's so sad.

For the second story imo OP really is just complaining. I could be wrong here but it sounds like the bf paid for the house and renovations while OP is just unhappy about the fact she has a house now

If the boyfriend does not clean and expects her to do everything, it is a harbinger of things to come. You can't change people. If you continue the relationship, you need to face the fact you will have a lot of work ahead of you.

Story #2: I would suggest getting someone to come help explain things to him, again, if he’s not listening. If that work, perhaps this isn’t who you’re meant to spend the rest of your life with. If he doesn’t respect your needs and continues to push you, he doesn’t deserve you.

Arranged marriages should be illegal. Forcing your kid to marry someone they’ve never met and don’t know is absolutely ridiculous.

amazing video

I’m a Christian, and the Bible says absolutely NOTHING about forcing your child to marry someone “you chose” for them, OR kicking them out because they don’t believe

Your content is the best 👍

Story 1 has got some serious Mommie Dearest vibes

Story 1:I have 2 words for OP's now sanctioned mother, *inhales* "DRAMA QUEEN!!!!!!!"

That 1st story--that sounds like what was done in the middle ages when marriages were arranged by the parents!

Story #1: That doesn't sound like just some religion, it sounds like a cult. The way the mum talks, not to mention the creepy smile of the girl, gives very indoctrinating vibes.

For the first story , I wouldve called cps and the cops on the mother for threatening

Story number 4 I wonder if there's a redirect Story somewhere titled "I got embarrassed when my daughter teased me about talking to the dog and I accidentally ruined their friendship because of it"

The op should go to small claims court so the court orders him to pay

My dog talks all the time, just not in English. She's very good at telling me when she wants a walk, be fed, that I'm not giving her enough attention, etc. She makes herself heard quite clearly and I'm pretty good at interpreting what she's telling me. I know he was a kid, but who doesn't talk to their dog?

All of 'a' sudden... not all of 'the' sudden... just being picky

This is known as the "Sunk Cost Fallacy". He's never giving you that money back. Continuing the relationship won't get him to pay and you're just investing more of your time and emotions into a sinkhole.

Op 2, that's literally a breakup and get as far away as I can think of. Find a better partner.

op 2 better break up with her bf... that way he can move on and find a lady who is more appreciative of everything he's doing... buying a house close to her family and renovating it to her liking doesn't sound like a selfish thing

mom in first story "welcome to marriage in India"

These stories would make a great anthology drama show

Story 3: This is called conditioning. When someone makes you drop your guard so you can become their marionette. This is often used with Scammers, and in this case, a con. It doesn't matter what the situation is, once the person wraps you around their finger, it's hard to unravel yourself out of the situation due to your emotional investment in the person. It's human nature to trust people, so don't take it too personally. Now that you've seen the signs, confront them. If they really cared about you, they will change. If they repeat their actions or suggest something that would cause you harm, don't stick with them. They'll bleed you dry and feel no remorse. Extortion through conditioning is a one way affair.

You know what Mr am I the jerk? Based on the amount of tik toks with your voiceover on them I've watched, I'm subscribing

L on the 2nd opinion youv started to always side with the girls brother.he payed for his house he isn't married to her he lives alone so he got a dog,she payed for none of the house so her opinion is irrelevant its his house so he can choose what he wants she's complaining bc she doesn't have a say in what he spends his money on

In story one I would have called child support for negligence by them kicking you out and sue their a## for violating the 1st amendment and attempting to for a marriage.

2nd story op just sounds entitled to me. Yes deaths in the family are sad but the world will not stop moving foward because of her grief(especially not for a year or so like the op says she needed). Why should her boyfriend even consult her about buying a house when she didnt have plans to live with him for a while? Also, depending on the area they live in, it isnt possible to just put off buying it to consult someone else who is too busy dealing with grief. They don't seem to be engaged so i see even less of an issue in his part. Was he supposed to just wait until she was ready to move in with him before buying a house (and probably prioritizing the op's wants), or was he supposed to just buy a house the op approved of just in case she makes the decision to move in with him (which according to the op would be an at least an entire year or so out) ? At least he let her be a part of the renovations. I also can't understand how she doesn't like the area the house is in when from her telling it is close to where she already lives. She also stated that her boyfriend said that all she does is complain, and honestly I am prone to believe him even with just her side of the story. If someone refuses to move in with me and yet still tries to dictate my house life I'd have the same complaint. You potentially moving in doesn't really justify a high level of control regarding the house, especially since it seems like he has been pushing to live together for a while even before the death of her family member but it never happened and wouldn't happen for at least another year.

1. It does say honor your mother and father. 2. But it also says that the parent can’t provoke or anger the child which she has been doing 3. It says in the Bible don’t force it onto people.

My daughter thought Robinhood was a fox until a recent visit to Nottingham she is in her 20s this was entertaining for the family. When asked who told her Robinhood was a fox she said from a Disney film lol. My grandchildren love me telling this story about their mum.

In the bible it says “ Treat others how you want to be treated “

There's information missing to actually form an opinion on the 2nd story. How long did they have plans to move in together (or how long has he) before this happened? How often has he heard "I just need another year or so"? For all we know this is a thing for years now and he has finally decided to actually take a step forward instead of staying in place. The OP seems unconcerned about her boyfriend's needs/feelings and then gets angry. I get that the OP is having a hard time emotionally, but him going forward with buying a house and such might be an indication that he feels neglected and lonely.

The best thing you can do is stay away from marriage dude. Don't be a fool, don't get married. It's fine to date, but if you're going to do a relationship you got to be careful. And the next time your mother brings up the whole "I gave you life" thing, kindly remind her that god gives us life, and our parents just bring us into the world. If god didn't allow people to have children, nobody would be having children.

That mother isn't religious she's using it as an excuse to manipulate his life

Story 2: guy waiting 6 years , then gives her a year to grief, finally has enough and buys his own house and still wants her to move in and he is somehow the bad guy according to you? Big L my dude

As a Christian myself(even thought I do not know what religion the mom is)the mom in the first story is infuriating that is a horrible situation to be stuck in for the op Even though I am a Christian I don’t try to ever enforce my religion on others the mom is disgusting to me

“MOTHERRRRR KNOW BEST” tagled hehe

So glad you have the support of family and that you got out of that toxic household however is somebody that grew up feeling like religion was shoved down your throat don't slam the door totally when you find a normal religion and it is your choice it can be a good thing

My dad Catholic and very religious, but he never forced his beliefs on me. I am far from being an atheist btw and do believe in Christ, just not as involved in the Church as my dad is. A few years back, shortly after I started my career in medicine, he asked me what are my plans in life, seeing as my younger brother already had a kid on the way. I said I have no intention to get in a relationship and was contented with my life. he responded with "ok". he never opened that topic again and up to this day are still close to one another

For #2, she's a little too whiny. If her money wasn't used in buying the house or getting the pup, then she shouldn't complain. No one is forcing her to come over, no one is forcing her to clean up. She should take a break and let this guy get his 💩 together. If he's forcing you to do these things, then leave. If you're doing this on your own, then quit showing up, or quit your whining. There's no ring on that finger, he's spending his own money, so let him deal with those things on his own

My mom went on a health food break when I was about 8 or 9 years old she wanted to stop buying sugary cereal. So she told me they stopped producing fruit loops my favorite cereal. My mom became a teacher so one day I was about 14 or 15 years old and she took her students on a field trip to a college campus. We went to the cafeteria and they had all those ones serving boxes of cereal and I saw fruit loops. And I freaked out screaming look mom they have fruit loops they made they're making them again. And she looked at me with the most confused look on her face along with all of her students and then she remembered. Is she burst it out laughing and had to explain to her students how she had told me they stopped making fruit loops so she could start buying us only Cheerios. I had never been so embarrassed in my entire life everybody in the cafeteria heard me and was looking at me.

Honor thy mother and thy father is something my mother used to try and pull on me until I told her I didn't believe in her god

The second story is an eye opener. He picked this he got that he said we had to do this, THAT IS CONTROL. He is trying to control her!!! She needs to take a break from him! Or it will get worse if not abusive. Third story he used you and your money is gone.

Second story - girlfriend has zero say until he puts a ring on it and/or her name on the deed and loan. You do not get a say in such things until there is a legal commitment involved between the couple. That said, you are looking at your future. Step back live where you want to live, and tell him to adjust, and, oh by the way, you do not respond well to *orders*.

20 dollars saying the religious mom is gonna ask the kid for something

The boyfriend in the second story can do with his own money whatever he wants. Burn it, gift it, buy a house and puppy. If OP doesn't like that, she can leave.

Story2: how tall is your high horse? I mean 6 years together, not living together, so bf pulls trigger gets house, and you whinge that it doesn't feel like a home, which it won't, until you move into it. Pretty entitled to expect him to wait whilst you grieve, after 6 years of already waiting, because he's not considering your feelings, when not considering his. You've literally stalled you future plans that you apparently made together the whole time. So he makes progress on it. And your unhappy. Like, do you even want to be in a relationship? Do you even care about your boyfriend, or do you have him around in your life, just for the clout of being able to claim your in a relationship and that you don't fail at basic adult things, whilst you clearly are failing at basic adult things. Sure. The dog thing. I could see why that would be an issue, but it's one you could work around or get over.

The father in the first story sounds very reasonable

The fact that most of the men you end up having some thing with is just a hook up and your 19 is sad

Honestly, I am just as worried about the girl as I was about the OP. She seemed to be completely into the idea and while it may be voluntarily, it still feels worrisome how willing she is to being forced into a committed relationship to a random person she has never met before and go with a set future she had no opinion on to set.

Honestly if your significant other owes you 2000 plus 600 for your sister and he/she doesn't wanna pay it back, and is avoiding you... rob them. Respectfully💯

The 2nd story, um he is the one living in the house alone, without his companion, so he got a dog...Stop being a drama queen. Also, it sounds like he used his money to buy the place and invited you into it, you turned him down so again, you're being a drama queen, perhaps acknowledging his needs and emotions will help your relationship

You ain't gonna get your money if you stay with him either, so leave his ass.

I would sooner move out of her home rather than marry somebody I barely know and haven't even got to know it might have been acceptable back in the 1800s but you cannot do that today

The girl with the guy that loaned all that money, just take him to small claims court. It's cheap enough and you can break up with him & don't fret there are plenty of guy's and nice guy's at that that'll treat you right and you'll truly fall in love. Really sue him the courts will make him pay!! It's about $100 to file & about $25 for the sheriff to serve him the papers. Just gather all your payments to him and texts!! Good luck!! You'll win!!

Story 2 needs more information. She said she's need a year or more to grieve at her parents so did the boyfriend have to move out of his house for some reason so he decided to buy instead of rent. Did he try and involve her in the buying process? He bought close to her so he must have thought about her in the process, being close to her parents and all. How long was he alone in the house while she lived at her parents? Maybe he was lonely so got a dog to help.

I can understand why op from story 1 didn’t realize it sooner because the truth about support their behind you unfortunately leaving out of sight most of the time

Shoulda packed her bags the moment she started those bs threats

Story 2 the girl needs to stop crying. She should have been more present with the boyfriend and she could have had a say. The boyfriend bought a house all by himself if she wasn’t stringing him along she would have had a say in the house.

Story 2: here is the thing... you aren't marry to the guy in 1st place, so sweetheart ... NO! you don't had anything to said on the matter as it comes from his pocket, not yours. Then the puppy ... sure it's a decision ... but ... again ... it came out of his pocket, not yours, so again, you don't had any thing to said in this one either if he wants a dog. The point is, you don't feel force to move, and he shouldn't force you to move there as well. Now here is the thing, if you're THAT whiny, why not tell him bluntly "NO, i don't wanna live here, i want to be sad excuse of miserable persona while griving"?. YEAH! it sounds bad, and harsh, but girl ... if you wanna be alone tell it and go directly, as it seems you're looking for validation to said: "yes! leave him, he is a jerk". No sweetheart, he tried his best to keep you busy from not thinking into that grieve and try to make you move on, only for nitpicking on him for anything when he "barely had time from work" as you said. And Narrator, stop been a simp again. As much as i know she has a tragedy and is griving ... SHE SHOULD TELL IT or get therapy, because how she is acting, sound very whiny and entitled as well as she didn't even tell him properly and put a stop to this. If he wanted a home, good. If wanted a dog ok. As it comes from his pocket. But OP isn't a entitle to choose this and she is planning things as if is marry too. IF he is running a marathon while she is trying to walk, then they aren't fit for each other either. In this case both sucks at not communicate this properly too.

I would've been going to jail for making threats towards the mom in the 1st post because she would get told that if she kicks me out that she better have her last will and testament written out because if she thinks that she so religious then she better be prepared to meet her maker because I would send her to meet them.

Story 2, would love to hear HIS side of the story

Oh my god im so glad that the OP in the first story was able to get out i went to my uncles for a week and something similiar happened to me but what you had to go through OHMY GOD MINE PALES IN COMPARISON

So in the second story she said it’s not what I had saw our life’s going? Seems like she will be unhappy unless he falls in line🤷🏼‍♂️

With the story about the boyfriend buying a house the woman does need to realize he is her boyfriend not husband she's not entitled to the house so if the boyfriend wants to buy a house he can I think the guy needs to walk away from her.

God does not judge people based on religion, but on their actions

second story the guy is on a speed run to life

That second story: OP is an entitled control freak and the narrator needs to stop simping.

the first story sounds like my mother

story 1: what happened to respect thy child

It's also not fair for the puppy.

Visit him and pick items you can sell for money to pay off his debts…..

Why can't these kids in these stories call CPS (child protective services)
