Redditors Support Lady Who Fired Back At Her Soon-To-Be BIL, Who Always Makes Fun Of Her Past Life
Everyone deserves a second chance.
Some people never let the past stay in the past. In this Reddit story, one woman found herself dealing with a soon-to-be brother-in-law who kept turning her college history into a joke.
The 24-year-old OP is engaged, and her fiancé’s brother, Jacob, went to the same college as she did. He knows about her past, but he keeps bringing it up at family gatherings, even when nobody else thinks it is funny. Things came to a head at Jacob’s birthday dinner, when he crossed a line and got an answer he clearly did not expect.
Her response shut the room down fast, and her fiancé backed her up. Read on.
