I'm an avid reader of the Am I the Asshole? subreddit, and if you are, too, you probably saw the recent post: AITA for calling my fiancé a jerk?
If you didn't, I highly recommend giving it a read, because there's A LOT going on, but here's a quick recap: About a week after her fiancé proposed to her, OP found out he doesn’t technically own his house, because his teenage daughter inherited it from her late mother several years ago.
OP got angry because the fiancé a.) refused to ask his daughter for the house, and b.) didn’t tell OP about this before (even though he previously did actually tell her the house was his daughter’s but she apparently didn’t realize what he meant).
It's basically either a case study in extreme entitlement or a severe miscommunication, depending on how you look at it. Most people see it as the former, and the general consensus is that OP is in fact the asshole.
"YTA," wrote u/KaliTheBlaze in what became the top comment. "He told you the house belonged to his daughter. That you chose to not ask what he meant and assumed he really owned it is your own fault. You deceived yourself. It is her inheritance from her dead mother, and you want a share of it. The girl has already lost her mother, but that’s not enough — now you’re demanding a share of her inheritance go to people the mother never even met. How can you think that’s reasonable?"
And u/DinkyDish wrote: "YTA, it sounds like his wife did the right thing to ensure that her daughter always has a home — considering you’re now trying to push her out of it."
As wild as the original post is, what really caught my eye was the ETA (edited to add) the OP tacked on to the end. It seems that her fiancé is also a frequent peruser of Reddit (or maybe has friends or family members who are and gave him a heads up), because she wrote:
"ETA he saw the post and asked for his ring back; I guess this isn't a problem anymore."
Honestly, it sounds like it's for the best, at least to the people in the comments.
"Glad the daughter has a father who’ll stick up for her like this!" wrote u/shelldubbs.
And u/Apart_Computer_1706 wrote, "Thank god he woke up and got rid of this gold digger. Lucky him."
Meanwhile, I'm over here wondering just how often this sort of thing happens (and why people think they can truly be anonymous on the internet).
If you have a story about a relationship being ruined because someone (whether it was your partner, yourself, or even a friend) posted something they shouldn't have on social media, I want to hear about it.
