      Well, those pregnancy hormones can bring on some unhinged thought patterns but this is Disney villain levels.

        It also seems like they want someone to reply “*fiancé” so people can reply in turn like “out of all the problems you could have with this story…”

    Man, is that guy screwed. What a horrible, horrible person. And he’s having a kid with her so she’s going to be in his life even if he bailed on the marriage (which I hope he did).

    I drink a lot. Mostly to forget.

    But sometimes I drink so much, I don’t remember what I was trying to forget.

    Now I remember.

    I need a drink.

    jokes aside please don’t let this shit be real

      100%. People like this exist, but they’re rare and they know better than to admit to this shit blatantly.

        Are they that rare? And do they really know to keep things like this under wraps? It seems like our social filters have all gone out the window the last eight years.

        She can’t spell fiancé correctly despite several attempts and having autocorrect. I think it’s entirely possible that she’s just dumb, selfish and insecure.

      It sounds too extreme to be real.

      That said, my mother lost her mother when she was 4 years old. Her mom took her own life, my mom witnessed the aftermath and was already traumatized as hell.

      My grandfather remarried and that woman did everything she could to get rid of my mom.

      People can become better, and my step grandmother did. She apologized to my mom and owned what she did, and she was pretty good with me and my siblings when we were growing up.

      The shit she put my mom through was insane. She told my mom that her mom was in hell burning because she killed herself. My mom and her step siblings got lice at school and she shaved my mom’s head but not theirs (12 years old too, so she got bullied on top of that humiliation), told my mom she looked too much like her mom and was ugly (and honestly, my mother was one of the most beautiful people around. When I was growing up I heard comments constantly, “Bro! Your sister is hot!” “That’s my mom jackass!”)

      The list goes on and on. She succeeded in getting rid of my mom when she hit about 13. My mom’s youngest sibling was more than 10 years older than her, so she spent her teens moving around between her older brother and sisters until she married at 16, and has been on her own since.

        Yes, the evil stepmother trope certainly exists for a reason. I myself had… well there’s plenty of evil to go round. Can I interest you in a chocolate covered pretzel? If this one doesn’t ring especially true to me, that’s not to say these people don’t exist.

      Not enough real world social engineering dating experience leads to this… as it did with me as well.

    You hear about these people once in a while but to see one actually write it out for everyone to see is a new low
