This Man Wants To Know If He’s In The Wrong For Not Wanting His Parents Associating With His Ex

Reddit has done it again by helping someone get advice and find out if they’re the a*shole in a wild and difficult situation. This situation is just a bit crazier than any of us were expecting.

Ex-wives and exes, in general, can be difficult, especially if there are children involved or if they are particularly close to said ex. It’s no secret that family can be challenging, and things can get weird quickly.

This man feels completely abandoned by his family when they choose to spend most of their time with his ex and her family rather than with him. This sounds just as complicated as it’s about to be.

He went to Reddit to see if he was being the a*shole about the whole thing or if his family was completely out of line. In this “Am I The A*shole?” story, there is a lot to unpack, and it’s been happening for a while.

We’ll leave it up to his words to provide all the details about what happened with him and his ex-wife, as well as what his family has been doing and how they’ve been treating the situation.

Reddit had a lot to say about the situation, and we aren’t surprised at all. Let’s dive in.

Here’s the story.

He goes into detail about how his life with his wife was and shares a bit of their story.

It’s a long one..

This is where he tells us how his parents reacted to what his wife did.

Wait… 10 years?!

This is where it throws us a curveball because this has been going on for 10 years. I don't think anyone was expecting that. That means this child is now 10 years old.

AITA1231452524545232

Okay, that was a rollercoaster ride of a story.

This is what his parents think and their point of view on how he's acting towards the child.

Reddit came in with the comments.

Comments were definitely in favor of him, stating that he's not the a*shole in this story.

Very toxic.

The parents are definitely the ones who are being a*sholes.

Interesting..

The parents probably just don't want to accept it.

AdministrationThis77

Yes, there sure do.

PaintedLady5519

Throw the whole family away.

_Friend_Computer_

A good reason to go NC for sure.

This commenter had a lot of valid points. This situation is insane.

Another comment saying his family is in the wrong

We're glad that he's realizing that he isn't the one in the wrong and that he isn't crazy.

Why is his ex keeping up with this?

Based on his story, his ex is toxic as well, so it's just one big toxic circle, and that's why she's keeping up with this.

Another comment saying to cut contact.

Definite heavy gaslighting by making him feel like it’s his fault.

I can't imagine being in his situation. I figure it would make you feel crazy to have everyone on your ex's side when clearly she is the one in the wrong.

Just throw the whole family away.

He definitely deserves better.

The parents are really crossing boundaries. Cutting them off seems to be the common advice given from these Reddit comments.

Kithanye

So many questions and details to this situation.

Significant_Froyo_79

His family is awful for doing this.

Again, we are just so sad that OP feels like he was the one who was insane, but really he's in the right in this situation.

skywalkera420

For sure he should tell his extended family the situation.

MissContrariwise

Interesting. Here’s another detail.

This one hit the nail on the head.

neeksknowsbest

Reddit came in with all the questions.

If she spends a lot of time with OP's family, then maybe it is because she doesn't have much family of her own, but OP's right. What about the new hubby's family?

SourNotesRockHardAbs

This story is definitely one we may not ever forget. With all the details and the fact that this has been going on for 10 years now is really crazy.

Some of these stories that we see on Reddit can be wild, and this is definitely a great example of that. I mean, what do you think?
